36 Shadow Leopard (1/2)

After he send the young man out, Bai Yun looked around. There were no other contestants or beasts nearby.

Most of the people in the first test were trying to find their teammates. Being alone was dangerous, and teamwork was especially important in the second test. Most of the people would have brought in some items to locate their teammates. Thus they wanted tomeet up with their teammates before they started their campaign, thus the first test would go on for a while.

Bai Yun started to walk forward, rubbing his shoulders as he did so. His right shoulder still hurt from the ram, as he hadn't done skin sewing there before.

Bai Yun had a good start. He was in no hurry to find another opponent. He had wasted quite a bit of energy in the fight just now and knew that he had to recover as much as possible before he started his next fight.

The region he was walking through was dangerous, and it was already late in the evening when the test had begun. By now the sun was starting to set, and a grassland was a dangerous place in the night. Thankfully it seemed as if there were not many beasts in the grasslands, and Bai Yun's exceptional ability, assassination techniques and god sense gave him an edge in the night.

Bai Yun moved slowly getting himself used to the situation. Along the way he only met up with a single first circle beast. But he knew that this situation would not last for long. As time went on, more and stronger beasts would be send here.

Bai Yun decided to find a base to rest temporarily until the morning came. He looked at the territory and decided to sleep in a large tree rather than on the ground. Unlike many other, he had not brought any comping equipment, or detection equipment, making the ground a poor choice.

After an hour of searching, he found a tree to his liking. By then he had killed another two first circle demonic beasts and a second circle demonic beast. Bai Yun climbed onto the tree, and cleared it of all the unnecessary twigs, and secured a place for him to sleep. He fell asleep almost immediately.

Bai Yun laid there in relative peace until the morning light came. As it did so, suddenly as a small light started to envelop Bai Yun, he rolled over, and fell down straight into the ground.

Bai Yun's eyes opened just a moment before hit the floor. In front of eyes, a green field was getting closer and closer. Bai Yun tucked and rolled, reducing the impact. The light that covered him had gone by then. Bai Yun had caught glimpse of the light. It was the light triggering the automatic withdrawal of participants in case of extreme danger.

The moment he stopped, he looked up at the tree, but he could not find anything there. His eyes narrowed. There was nothing not only in his vision but even in his perception. But he knew that he would not have fallen out of the tree for no reason. His god sense had acted up in that instant, Which meant the he had come very close to death. So whatever it was that attacked him, was very good at hiding. Not only that it must be fast too.

Bai Yun stood up and looked around. A good mobility was needed to fight a concealed and fast opponent. As he stood up, his sword had appeared in his hands and he had taken a defensive posture. As Bai Yun stood there waiting, he felt an attack coming from his back.

Bai Yun rolled forwards, at the same time he kicked up, sending his attacker flying. As the beast sailed over him, he caught a glimpse of it. In an instant Bai Yun's eyes narrowed and he send one of his soul tendrils out almost subconsciously to wrap around the beast. He rolled over and came to a stop standing. As he did so, he looked at the small black leopard that was looking at him. It was a shadow panther.

A shadow panther was a strong demonic beast on the same league as the lava spiders. But unlike the lava spiders, they were fast and agile, and its main ability was concealment. It could even be considered among the strongest beast in its league. Thankfully this shadow panther seemed to be only in the second circle. If it was in the third circle he would have ran immediately. There was probably no one in the qi condensation realm in the entire howling wolf world who could handle a third circle shadow panther.

Bai Yun smiled wryly. ”You moronic, donkey headed, monkey brained idiots. Whyy are you sending a Shadow Panther in to the test. And in the night to boot. Is this survival or murder.” He roared at the sky.

Even the shadow panther, which was surprised by his two missed attacks was startled by the shout. It jumped up before staring at Bai Yun calmly.

Unbeknownst to Bai Yun, at the same time in thecontrol room, there were a group of people who were looking at the screens and analyzing the fights. Currently all of their eyes were on Bai Yun.

”Hey not bad, that brat actually dodged the panther. Even though I send the panther to him because I was pissed at how easily he was napping, I did not expect him to actually dodge the attack. It seemed that the activation of the teleportation function was not needed. He must have some artifact that warns him of danger.” A well build middle aged man wearing a floral shirt and shorts and eating popcorn exclaimed.

”And it seems he knows what his opponent is. Though there seemed to be a few insults included in that report of his .” Another man who was sitting next to him said while laughing.

”That's understandable. Anyone would be pissed if they were surrounded by a couple of Shadow Leopards.” Saying so the middle aged man put down his popcorns and leaned forward, interacting his perception with the controls in front of him. But in an instant his power was cut off by someone.
