The rear mountains of the Burning Sun Sect were extremely vast, including many mountains and a large amount of forest. This place was filled with all kinds of different level demon beasts, which could be used for the disciples of all levels of cultivation to hunt and train.

But Luo Xiu was standing outside the Shihu Ridge right now. The Shihu Ridge did not just refer to a mountain range, it also referred to a large forest area with the Shihu Ridge as the center. The beasts inside were mostly at the Martial Disciple level, which was the place where the new disciples frequently came to.

"Please wait a moment, junior brother!"

Sure enough, a sweet female voice came from behind.

Secretly alert, Luo Xiu turned around and saw two men and one woman slowly walking out of the forest.

"Senior Chu?"

Seeing Chu Hongling amongst the three, Luo Xiu was startled for a moment, then shouted out.

"So it's you, Junior Brother Luo Xiu."

At the same time he recognized Luo Xiu, Chu Hongling also broke into a smile, "To be able to meet you here, what a coincidence."

Luo Xiu returned a smile, and his gaze swept across the two youths behind Chu Hongling. One was dressed in embroidered clothes, looking haughty, and seemed to be looking at Luo Xiu with some hostility.

"Junior Brother Luo Xiu, why are you here?" Chu Hongling asked with a smile on her face.

"I was just planning to enter the Shihu Ridge." Luo Xiu pointed at the small but eye-catching hill behind them.

Hearing that, the three of them were startled, and the young man dressed in embroidered clothes was the first to speak: "Humph! You actually dare to go to Shihu Ridge alone, I really don't know if I should call you brave or foolish! "

Chu Hongling frowned: "Junior Brother Luo Xiu, there are a lot of beasts in Shihu Ridge, and all of them are at the Martial Disciple level. As a result, none of the Martial Disciple's disciples dare to enter alone, why would you want to go in alone?"

Luo Xiu scratched his head, "Is that so? I didn't think so much into it."

Chu Hongling was annoyed and amused at the same time, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she said to Luo Xiu: We are also preparing to enter Shihu Ridge, why don't you follow us?

Luo Xiu looked at the other two youngsters. The green-clothed youngster didn't say anything, but the silk-clothed youngster had a face full of unwillingness.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Wei, Senior Brother Li, we are also lacking one person, how about you let Junior Brother Luo Xiu join us?" Chu Hongling discussed with the young man in embroidered clothes.

The young man in silk clothing frowned. Originally, they had looked for four people to go with them, but before they left, the last person had an accident and couldn't make it. They temporarily couldn't find anyone else, so they could only force the three to leave.

But to make Luo Xiu, who suddenly popped out of nowhere, join, there were all sorts of reasons why Wei Jun was unwilling. How could he let a fellow who was so familiar with Chu Hongling join!

Seeing Wei Jun hesitate, Chu Hongling turned to Li Wenchang and said: "Senior brother Li, didn't you say that we have to gather four people to be safe in Shihu Ridge? Right now, it just happens to be the right time to find Junior Brother Luo Xiu to replace us.

Although all the demonic beasts in Shihu Ridge were at the Martial Disciple level, there were still groups of three to five, which required four people to form a group to have any form of protection. Li Wenchang had indeed said those words, but …

Li Wenchang did not speak, he looked at Wei Jun with a troubled expression, as if he was waiting for his opinion.

"Wen Chang was right, but what he said required four Intermediate Martial Disciple s. As for Junior Brother Luo Xiu, although he said that he obtained first place in the entrance examination not long ago …"

Wei Jun said, and looked at Luo Xiu with slight contempt: "But from what I know, his cultivation is probably only at the early stage of Martial Disciple. Even if such a member were to join, it would be of no use at all.

Chu Hongling's expression slightly changed, "Senior-apprentice Brother Wei, although Junior Brother Luo Xiu's cultivation is only at the initial stage, his strength is definitely not limited to just this. Even the Intermediate Martial Disciple junior brother Zhang Chong has lost to him before."

"Hehe!"

Wei Jun suddenly laughed coldly: "I think that Zhang Chong is just simply unworthy of his reputation, saying that this year's outer sect's talent is the highest, in the end he can't even defeat a Primary Martial Disciple. "This year's standards are really not very good."

Chu Hongling's beautiful face flushed red. Wei Jun's words also brought her in, but because Wei Jun was a senior brother, she could not refute him directly.

Li Wenchang, who was at the side, saw Wei Jun's words, and spoke up: "Senior-apprentice Brother Wei is right, this Junior Brother Luo is only an Elementary Stage cultivator, there isn't much benefit in bringing him, so we should advise him to return to the sect himself."

"Humph!" A mere early stage Martial Disciple dares to spout such big words here? " However, Wei Jun didn't buy it. Humiliating Luo Xiu in front of him made him feel an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

Luo Xiu smiled slightly: "Sorry, I have already advanced to the middle stage of Martial Disciple."

The moment he said this, the three of them were stunned!

Following that, a look of undisguised scorn emerged on Wei Jun's face. "Intermediate Martial Disciple? You? "Haha, even if you want to brag, you have to have a hint of a look. This kind of lie will be immediately exposed!"

Tssss! *

However, just as Wei Jun finished speaking, the vitality in his body started to circulate, and instantly a strong light covered his body, the flowing luster was bright and dazzling, and was obviously not something an early stage Martial Disciple could compare to!

"What?!"

Seeing this scene unfold in front of them, the three of them were immediately stunned on the spot. Their young faces were filled with astonishment!

"This fluctuation …"

The ridiculing smile on Wei Jun's face froze. Even if he had doubted Luo Xiu's words, the latter's energy fluctuations had clearly proven this point!

The truth was better than eloquence!

Luo Xiu, as expected, had already advanced to the middle stage of Martial Disciple!

"The intensity of this fluctuation is undoubtedly middle stage Martial Disciple, and it is even stronger than Senior Brother Li's. It is even stronger than mine!"

Looking at the young man in front who once again surprised everyone, Chu Hongling was stunned, one must know that this day was only the third day of the assessment, and this Luo Xiu, in just three days, had already completed his breakthrough!

This kind of cultivation speed, was without a doubt unprecedented in the entire Burning Sun Sect!

And Luo Xiu who cultivated at such a high speed, was actually looked down upon by the five masters in the hall, and there were even rumors that "Luo Xiu's talent was too low, so Master was not willing to take him in". From the looks of cultivation speed, could it be considered as having too low of a aptitude? Was everyone blind?!

Luo Xiu had a smile on his face the entire time. In his opinion, entering the Intermediate Martial Disciple was not a strange matter, so why would he make such a big fuss about it?

"It seems that you have obtained a lot of benefits from the puerariae radix, kid." After a moment of shock, Wei Jun suddenly opened his mouth.

Li Wenchang paused, then nodded suddenly: "So that's the case, this brat relied on the help of the puerariae radix to increase his cultivation so quickly, I thought he was powerful, but it turns out he was lucky."

He only hated himself for being taken away by the puerariae radix.

Only Chu Hongling did not think that, even if the puerariae radix had a way to increase Luo Xiu's cultivation, it would require Luo Xiu's Innate Ability to withstand. If his Innate Ability was too weak, forcefully raising the vitality in his body would only bring him harm, but looking at Luo Xiu's appearance, there was nothing wrong with his body.

Thus, whether it was Luo Xiu cultivating on his own or with the help of the puerariae radix, it meant that his aptitude was not as poor as rumored …

"Alright, since Junior Brother Luo Xiu is already a middle stage Martial Disciple, then I want him to join us. You two Seniors should have no objections right?" Chu Hongling asked with a smile.

"Hmph, I hope he won't drag us down."

Wei Jun scoffed, but did not reject him. And seeing that Wei Jun was like this, Li Wenchang naturally did not object.

"Junior Brother Luo Xiu, these two Senior Brothers are disciples of Junior Master Lu Cheng of the Fierce Sun Peak."

Chu Hongling introduced Luo Xiu: "This is Senior Brother Li Wenchang, this is Senior Brother Wei Jun. Both of you senior brothers came before us, and Senior-apprentice Brother Wei is the second in last year's entrance examination.

It turned out to be High Level Martial Disciple. No wonder why this person was so arrogant and looked down on others …

Luo Xiu understood in his heart, and nodded to the two people in greeting.

Li Wenchang also nodded in response, but Wei Jun shot him a glance: "If it wasn't for that brat Zhang Zong who was suddenly injured and was unable to come, you wouldn't be able to join us."

Luo Xiu was startled. "Zhang Zong?!"

"Originally, Senior-apprentice Brother Wei was supposed to be Senior Brother Zhang Zong who came from the same vein. But later on, because Senior Brother Zhang fell off a cliff and suffered heavy injuries, his arm broke, so he couldn't come, which resulted in us lacking one person." Chu Hongling explained.

Luo Xiu paused upon hearing this. Zhang Zong, could it be that Zhang Zong was crippled by him?

"What sudden injury?" Wei Jun's tone was full of contempt, "I think he fought with someone privately, and if he can't beat them, that's why he lost an arm. This was still considered light. I heard that his little brother went along with them, but he ended up being crippled in the end. You don't have the ability to learn from others to fight amongst yourselves, you deserve it! "

Luo Xiu's expression immediately became strange. From the looks of it, it was indeed the Zhang brothers that he injured yesterday, but the Zhang brothers did not seem to dare to speak of the truth, so no one knew that it was him …

Speaking of which, this was even facilitated by him. He did not expect that the unlucky bastard, Zhang Zong, would not only be injured by him and did not dare to say anything, but had even indirectly helped Luo Xiu afterwards. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enter the Shihu Ridge with these few people.

Fortunately, Chu Hongling and the other two did not notice Luo Xiu's abnormality and this topic did not continue to deepen, so the four of them did not linger and walked in the direction of the Shihu Ridge.
