Chapter 23
Before making up his mind to hunt and kill that Green-Fire Deer, Zhang Ruochen had made a careful consideration .
With his current cultivation, he could not compete against a Green-Fire Deer . Besides that, he could not use Genuine Martial Arms, because his Flash Shining Sword and Abyss Ancient Sword were stored in the internal space .
Once he used them, others would know that the Time and Space Spinel was with him .
Luckily, it was a Green-Fire Deer . If he had met any other superior-class level-one savage beasts, he would have no chance to win at all .
But a Green-Fire Deer was different . It was fast, but it was not as strong as other superior-class level-one savage beasts . And a Green-Fire Deer was not good at defending itself .
Zhang Ruochen had reached the Completion of the Heaven Realm in his last lifetime . Therefore, his strong Spiritual Power and rich practical experience were his great advantages . He could make quick judgments on a Green-Fire Deer's movements and attacks . Then he could adjust his strategies flexibly .
Thus, although a Green-Fire Deer was fast, it did not mean that the deer could beat Zhang Ruochen easily .
"Haa!"
Zhang Ruochen roared at the Green-Fire Deer provocatively and aggressively .
"Phhf!"
The Green-Fire Deer was outraged now, and his flames were becoming even brighter . In a second, it had almost reached the place where Zhang Ruochen was . It was so fast that it looked like a green shadow when it moved . Obviously, this Green-Fire Deer was planning to attack Zhang Ruochen with its giant body .
But Zhang Ruochen bent his knees and exerted power by pushing off the ground . He jumped up seven meters high when the Green-Fire Deer was about to hit him .
"Dragon in the Sky!"
His running Genuine Qi was quickly moving inside his 11 Meridians . His body made a low-pitched sound which was like a dragon's roar . All his muscles and bones were functioning together now, unleashing great power through his palm .
However, the Green-Fire Deer was too fast . Zhang Ruochen could not hit the Green-Fire Deer but hit the ground .
"Phhf!"
The deer ran toward Zhang Ruochen like a green shadow . It used its antlers to attack him, targeting his chest .
Zhang Ruochen unleashed power from his palm again and competed against the Green-Fire Deer .
"Bang!"
A strong impact force hit his palm . Suddenly, he felt that his right arm had lost feeling .
Zhang Ruochen quickly moved backward . He looked toward his arm and saw that his right palm was being burned by the fire from the deer . His sleeves were burnt to ashes, and his wrist and arm were exposed .
His Genuine Qi was running inside his Meridians, gradually making his numb arm return back to normal .
"Whomp, whomp!"
The Green-Fire Deer ran toward Zhang Ruochen again . Within a second, it had appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen .
Right now, two Thunder Arrows were shot by the Ninth Commandery Princess, who was standing far away . These two arrows were shot toward the eyes of the deer .
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The deer had such a quick reaction that it hit the arrows back with its hard antlers .
"Elephant Galloping!"
Zhang Ruochen seized the opportunity and rushed toward the Green-Fire Deer . With the impact force of his body, Zhang Ruochen unleashed the Strength of Sixteen Bulls from his palm again, hitting on the head of the deer .
The Green-Fire Deer whined and its head was bleeding . It was injured and the blood was coming out of the wound on top of its head, which slowed its reaction .
"Phew!"
As the deer was distracted, the Ninth Commandery Princess got the chance to shoot the final Thunder Arrow at it . This time the arrow pierced through the deer's left eye .
"Bang!"
The arrowhead of the Thunder Arrow exploded and shredded the left side of its head . The Green-Fire Deer's left eyeball was turned into a mist of blood .
Zhang Ruochen tumbled to reach the corpse of the Red Smilodon Tiger . He chipped off a sharp, half-meter-long tooth from its mouth .
The injured Green-Fire Deer turned and ran away . The flames surrounding it went out as well .
Zhang Ruochen grasped that broken tooth from the Red Smilodon Tiger . The tooth in his hand was like a short blade . He stepped on the tree trunk and leaped with the help of the elasticity of the tree trunk .
"Crack!"
Zhang Ruochen stuck the sharp tiger tooth into the Green-Fire Deer's forehead and pierced it through the deer's skull .
"Bang!"
The Green-Fire Deer struggled, but finally, it failed . It fell down on the ground, becoming lifeless .
Zhang Ruochen pulled out the tooth and stuck it into the abdomen of the Green-Fire Deer . All of this finally terminated the deer's life .
The Ninth Commandery Princess came over and saw the corpse of the deer . She could not believe what she had just seen . "Ninth brother . . . you just killed a superior-class level-one savage beast . "
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her and stood up . After simply binding up his burnt palm with some cloth, he said, "Not me, but us . "
The Ninth Commandery Princess knew clearly that she had not offered sufficient help . If it was not for the hit on its head slowing the reaction of the deer, she could not have shot the deer's eye with her Thunder Arrow .
However, she was happy because she was involved in the hunt of that superior-class level-one savage beast . More importantly, it was a successful hunt .
She was so thrilled that she could not help hugging Zhang Ruochen .
"Ninth brother, we are the best battle-buddies . We always cooperate so well!"
She hugged Zhang Ruochen around the reck with her soft arms . Her big, soft boobs were pressed closely to his chest . She was so thrilled that she almost shoved him to the ground .
Zhang Ruochen raised his arm and held the Ninth Commandery Princess by her shoulder, in order to keep some distance away from her . He said in a calm voice, "We should go back!"
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's cold, indifferent face, she stamped her foot and frowned . "I am your sister . I won't eat you . Could you just put away your arrogance?"
Zhang Ruochen left the Roar Slope and mounted the antelope-horse . He glanced at the Ninth Commandery Princess and said, "Let's go!"
She rolled her eyes and put her hand in Zhang Ruochen's palm to mount his antelope-horse . She sat behind him with her arms around his waist . Her exquisite face was on his back and she laughed . "Your Majesty, would you mind taking your gorgeous sister to a peaceful place without any killings?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly . He steered the antelope-horse to exit the jungle and rushed to the Royal Coliseum .
. . .
26 out of the 43 young participants had come back, whilst the remaining 17 warriors were still missing .
If a warrior had not come back, he would either have died somewhere, or he had not hunted any savage beast .
"Min, how's your hunt going?" asked Concubine Huo, the biological mother of the Fifth Prince, Zhang Min .
Wearing a smile on his face, Zhang Min said confidently, "Mom, don't worry . I'm confident that nobody can be better than me in this King Mount hunt!"
"Well done, Min . " Concubine Huo nodded with a smile .
Lin Fengxian looked at his daughter, Lin Ningshan, and asked, "Shan, it's your first time here . I assume that you have encountered many problems, right?"
Lin Ningshan shook her head and confidently said, "It's easier than I expected . No problem at all . I'm confident that I will be on the top 10 list . "
Lin Ningshan looked toward King Mount . She realized that Zhang Ruochen had not yet come back, which made her even more proud . She secretly grinned . "So, he hasn't hunted any savage beast . Well, that's reasonable . Taking those precious medicinal materials can strengthen his power . However, it can't enrich his practical experience . "
Right now, Concubine Lin was becoming nervous . She stared at King Mount wistfully .
Later, more warriors came back .
But those warriors looked worried . Apparently, they had not hunted any savage beast in King Mount .
"Where are the Ninth Prince and Ninth Commandery Princess? Fingers crossed, they are okay . "
People started to worry about them because some young warriors had been killed by savage beasts in previous years' King Mount hunting .
The Yunwu Commandery Prince frowned slightly and was about to send a troop of guards to look for his children .
All of a sudden, there was a person shouting in the crowd . "They are back! The Ninth Prince and the Ninth Commandery Princess come back together!"
Concubine Lin, Lin Ningshan, and other princes and princesses looked towards King Mount . They saw these two young people coming from that direction, riding on the same antelope-horse . They were getting closer and closer .
Zhang Ruochen and the Ninth Commandery Princess got off the antelope-horse immediately after arriving at the Royal Coliseum . They walked toward their father, the Yunwu Commandery Prince .
"Your Majesty!" said Zhang Ruochen .
"Your Majesty . Father!" said the Ninth Commandery Princess .
The Commandery Prince laughed, "Ruochen, why did you ride on Yuxi's horse?"
The Ninth Commandery Princess replied on behalf of Zhang Ruochen immediately, "Father, brother Ruochen and I met an Iron Bull . My antelope-horse got injured, so I had to ask him for help . "
The Commandery Prince stared at Zhang Ruochen and asked, "Is that true, Ruochen?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," he replied .
The Commandery Prince nodded firmly . Suddenly, he saw that Zhang Ruochen's right arm had gotten injured . He said, "Ruochen, it's your first time here, and it's your first time battling with savage beasts . You just obtained your Sacred Mark three months ago, so don't be upset if you didn't hunt any savage beast . "
"I know!"
Zhang Ruochen did not explain and he did not plan to explain . He just replied calmly .
The Ninth Commandery Princess was about to say something . However, she could not find anything to say in this situation .
The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince grinned secretly when they saw that Zhang Ruochen was injured .
A hint of a smile played on Lin Ningshan's face as well . During the Year-end Assessment, Zhang Ruochen had been outstanding . However, when it came to a real battle with savage beasts, he was still far from good enough .
