At the back of Burning Sun Sect, a group of wolf-like demonic beasts surrounded a young man. Their beast eyes were focused on the young man, baring their fangs, and showing signs of wanting to make a move.

Luo Xiu could not help but take half a step back. He looked around warily and realized that he was already surrounded. There was nowhere for him to run to.

"The power contained in the cinnabar fruit is sufficient to allow the user to break through to Martial Disciple level. This way, they would have full confidence to pass the entrance exam in half a month. However, from the looks of it …"

Luo Xiu's gaze shifted from the Scarlet Fruit to the group of hungry wolves in front of him. He could not help but sigh inwardly, "I probably can't even predict whether this group of demonic beasts will survive or not."

Luo Xiu was merely an ordinary disciple from the outer sect of the Burning Sun Sect, his talent and performance were all average. He had entered the sect for two years, and even until the time of the examination, he was only at the late stage of the Power Martial Arts.

"If this was a normal fight, I might have a slight chance of winning in a one on one fight against the Fangs Wolf. But now I'm outnumbered, am I really doomed?"

Luo Xiu laughed bitterly to himself, even if they were of the same cultivation level, but in terms of numbers, these beasts had an advantage over him, making them unstoppable.

He then shook his head, as if trying to put aside his uneasiness for the time being. "No, I have to try my best!"

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Just as Luo Xiu was about to fight to the death, suddenly, a series of loud noises came from not too far away. Luo Xiu and the pack of wolves were alarmed, and when they simultaneously looked over, they were surprised to find that the source of the noise was actually towards the cinnabar fruit!

Swoosh!

A figure dashed out from the side at an extremely fast speed. Before Luo Xiu and the pack of wolves could even react, that figure had already rushed to the bottom of the fruit tree, and as if he had planned it beforehand, he jumped up without hesitation. When he extended his hand to pick it, the cinnabar fruit that Luo Xiu had been looking forward to for a long time had already landed in his hands.

"Zhang Chong?"

Recognizing the person's face, Luo Xiu was surprised. This Zhang Chong was also an outer disciple of the Burning Sun Sect, coincidentally, same time as Luo Xiu, so he had to participate in the entrance examination half a month later.

"Luo Xiu, this time, there's really a lot of you."

Zhang Chong played with the cinnabar fruit in his hand, and smiled at Luo Xiu, but the smile was extremely repulsive.

Luo Xiu was startled at first, but before he could respond, the Fanged Wolf beside him immediately whined.

"Awoo!"

The fierce wolf saw that the cinnabar fruit was robbed, and immediately the group of people became agitated, as though they were going to pounce towards Zhang Chong. Seeing that, Zhang Chong was in no hurry, he casually waved his hand, and a paper crane flew out from his sleeves, growing in the wind, in the blink of an eye becoming as tall as a human being. Zhang Chong then jumped up, followed by the paper crane flapping its wings, flying high into the sky.

"Aoouu ~ ~ ~ ~"

The group of fierce looking demon beasts looked at Zhang Chong who was in mid air helplessly, and could only grimace and howl continuously below. Zhang Chong was stopped in mid air, and the pack of wolves were no threat to him.

"Zhang Chong, what do you mean by that?" Luo Xiu clenched his fists and shouted at Zhang Chong.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Chong laughed unrestrainedly towards the sky, and said: "Who do you think would be so kind to not only not take all the medicine when they find out, but also spread the news?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu's heart immediately went cold. He had already expected seventy to eighty percent of what had happened.

"If it wasn't for me alone being unable to deal with this group of beasts, do you think I would have risked being robbed and let you join in?" Zhang Chong paused for a moment, and then looked at Luo Xiu with contempt, "However, a character like you, at most, can be my bait, so that you can lure these demonic wolves away and create an opportunity for me to attack. That's why I have to thank you properly."

"Zhang Chong!" Luo Xiu was immediately incensed, clenching his fists he asked loudly: "You already entered the Martial Disciple several months ago and already have the ability to pass the entrance examination, why are you framing others just for the cinnabar fruit?"

"Who would find their cultivation too high?"

Zhang Chong looked down on the furious Luo Xiu from above, and said with a face full of contempt: "What's more, my goal is different from you ants, not only do I have to pass the entrance exam, I also have to get first place!"

Passing the entrance examination would allow one to become an official disciple of the Burning Sun Sect, and if one passed the first place in the examination, not only would they receive an additional reward from the sect, but more importantly, they would attract the sect's attention, obtain additional resources, and be groomed as a seed disciple!

Number one in the outer sect. This was a goal that had always been pursued by those gifted disciples in the outer sect, but it was not something that ordinary disciples like Luo Xiu, who only hoped to pass the examination, could hope to achieve.

"No matter what, it's all thanks to you that I got this cinnabar fruit today. I'll remember your kindness in my heart, so you can set off peacefully. Hahahaha."

Zhang Chong laughed as he turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a firm voice from below.

"Zhang Chong, if I don't die today, I will make you repay this debt a hundred times over!"

Zhang Chong's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to explode in anger, he suddenly put on a disdainful smile, "Hmph, these words, we'll talk about it after you survive and return to the sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he shot a glance at the youth standing amidst the pack of wolves, and the instant Zhang Chong and Luo Xiu locked eyes, the latter's gaze which was as sharp as lightning yet also carried killing intent, actually caused Zhang Chong's heart to quiver as well, as a kind of unexplainable unease arose in his heart.

"Hmph, a mere Power Force Cultivator, you won't be able to escape death!"

Zhang Chong thought disdainfully in his heart, as if to make himself believe that the youth who was only at the late stage of the Martial Arts was definitely unable to escape from the encirclement of the wolves.

whooshing

As the paper crane soared into the sky, Zhang Chong, who had succeeded in his conspiracy, also flew away. However, in this deserted place, the murderous atmosphere became even stronger.
