V1chapter 6 Part2 (1/2)

This chapter has been brought to you by me, and WanderingGummiOfDoom.

Last chapter recap: Aofeng and the group goes into the forest and encounters some dangers.

Chapter Two First Show of Ability

Hearing the rumbling in the distance, it was evident they were not flying magic beasts. Their steps were heavy, and could not be the fleet-footed wolf packs. Aofeng’s heart shook and she guessed it was most likely the ones that were called the killers of the Forest of Neversetting Sun, the Forest Boars that were the most common in this region.

After enduring hards.h.i.+p in the forest on the way here, the young people did not have the arrogant demeanor any longer. They recognized the dangers of the Forest of Neversetting Sun. Each person’s nerves tensed, even the proud Yu Fan was not an exception.

Roth glanced with praise at Aofeng. He had seen everything up until now, and he had been shocked. He hadn’t expected this Seventh Young Master to be so competent. Even he didn’t have a true measure of the other’s strength. At the very least, the other was not any weaker than Mo Zhu, the best of this young genius team. The other had sensitive senses and had noticed the danger at the same time as him.

“It’s the Forest Boars, these dangerous magic beasts are not as gentle as the maneating vines. You have to be careful.” Roth drew his broadsword. “Boom.” It stabbed into the ground in front of him. A thick burst of sword energy flowed from his hand into the body of the sword. Using the sword as the medium, a battle energy barrier appeared, and wrapped around the entire carriage.

Not as “gentle” as the man-eating vines?

Hearing this, they faced each other and wanted to cry. Uncle, are you trying to scare us? Even such gentle things were so scary, then what were the dangerous magic beasts like?

The group members had terrified expressions but Roth was relaxed. “While it is the first time you are fighting magic beasts, don’t be so nervous. Forest Boars are usually six-star magic beasts, if you cannot endure, you can retreat behind my battle energy barrier. Do not force yourself. Zhui Yun, you were the first to arrive just now, this is your reward!”

A black light flashed and something was tossed towards Aofeng. Aofeng reached out to receive and her fingers came into contract with what seemed to be a piece of ice. She gripped it and looked. It was a black and simple curved dagger that did not s.h.i.+ne with light.

“Ferrotungsten!”

“This ferrotungsten dagger, is named the “Vanquisher of Armies,” Roth nodded and said with a faint smile.

“Teacher, you are so biased. Last time, when I asked you for a ferrotungsten weapon, you didn’t give one to me.” Su Jian complained depressedly. A ferrotungsten short blade was something that could not be found on the market, obtaining one was not a matter of cost. Even Mo Zhu and his sister felt slight envy.

“It’s not that I didn't give you the chance, who was not able to catch up to Zhui Yun? How about another try, I have something else good here.” Roth chuckled. His hand flashed and he took out another blade from the spatial ring. It was a long black sword that was both thin and light.

“This is also made from ferrotungsten, and masterfully crafted. It is thin and flexible, and can be worn around the waist like a belt. It is sharp as a sword, nimble as a whip, and effective when used appropriately. It is called “Cicada Wing.” If you want this, bring out your skill. Are you not geniuses of this younger generation?” Roth said to the group as he winked at Aofeng.

Detecting Roth’s bias and intention to help her, Aofeng’s gaze moved and he threw a grateful look towards the other. Roth smiled slightly and imperceptibly nodded. He knew this Seventh Young Master was of few words. It was already rare for someone as aloof as the other to give such an expression to him.

A famed swords should be given to a hero. As a sword master, Roth admired those who were strong. After interacting with Aofeng a few times, he could see that this little guy had unlimited potential in terms of mentality and strength. He did not object to helping such a diamond in the rough on their path to growth, and also whip his unaccomplished disciples along the way.

This group of young people did not know that His Excellency Roth that they respected had sold them a lie. Stimulated by the thoughts of obtaining a great weapon, each of them were alert, and prepared to fight. While they were of different star levels, their actual fighting strength was about the same. Each person was confident in themselves.

“Cicada Wing, it is mine!” Yu Fan said confidently as he summoned his magus beast. Under his feet, the silver pattern of a one-star senior magister flashed and a nine-star magus beast Forest Combat Bear suddenly appeared.
