Chapter 99: Secrets of Crane City

Xu Feng rode his horse at a gallop, inevitably encountering some spirit beasts. Of course, Xu Feng had little interest in these spirit beasts. After avoiding several spirit beasts, a rather powerful one finally appeared before Xu Feng. Looking at the spirit beast that resembled a leopard, Xu Feng's eyes showed a hint of wariness.

This spirit beast was extremely fast, and even as Xu Feng galloped, it could still catch up, causing the horse to be startled. With no way to avoid it, Xu Feng had to dismount and turn to face the spirit beast.

The spirit beast's body was taut, its fierce eyes filled with a bloodthirsty aura. It pounced at Xu Feng, its speed so fast that Xu Feng was startled and quickly dodged, simultaneously swinging his sword.

The sword missed, but a burst of energy shot out from the spirit beast, directly aiming at Xu Feng. Xu Feng blocked with his sword, and after a metallic clang, he took two steps back, slightly shocked by the spirit beast's strength, which was not inferior to his own. This made Xu Feng more alert.

"Seven Killing Sword!" Unwilling to engage in a prolonged struggle, Xu Feng unleashed a fierce sword technique. The sword drew sharp shadows in the air, covering the spirit beast.

Compared to the spirit beast, Xu Feng had the advantage of knowing martial techniques, while the spirit beast could only attack savagely. Although spirit beasts were stronger at the same level, they were mostly no match for humans.

Xu Feng's Seven Killing Sword was even more lethal, sweeping down with a fierce aura, forcing the spirit beast to dodge in all directions.

"Freezing Cold Technique!"

Xu Feng shouted, not forgetting to use the Earth-grade technique, shooting an ice arrow.

Seeing the ice arrow with its freezing aura, the spirit beast's eyes showed a hint of panic as it quickly dodged. It had to admit that the spirit beast's speed was indeed fast, managing to avoid Xu Feng's Freezing Cold Technique. However, after dodging, Xu Feng's Seven Killing Sword was not so easy to avoid, and a sword strike pierced the spirit beast's back, leaving a bloody gash.

"Ao..."

A惨叫声，这只灵兽留下一地血迹，疯狂地向远处逃窜而去。

"跑？！" 见对方逃跑，许枫赶紧翻身上马，向灵兽追逐而去。

这些狩猎场的马匹倒是十分优秀，不知道是不是经常在狩猎场穿插的缘故，刚才的惊吓很快恢复，在许枫策马下，向这只灵兽追逐而去。

一路追逐而去，或许因为流血过多的缘故，灵兽的速度开始慢下来，许枫这才从马上一跃而下，向灵兽再次一剑刺了过去。

灵兽见避无可避，身体猛的一跃，爪子爆发锋利的光芒，向许枫抓了过来。

"Freezing Cold Technique!"

The technique was unleashed, striking the spirit beast forcefully. The spirit beast, which was flying in mid-air, suddenly stopped and fell to the ground, its body covered in a layer of frost. Xu Feng's sword pierced into the spirit beast's body.

After slaying the spirit beast, Xu Feng was surprised to find a spirit crystal inside it, which made him feel very lucky. He didn't expect to find a spirit crystal after slaying his first spirit beast.

Casually tossing the spirit beast onto the horse, Xu Feng began to look around. In the pursuit of the spirit beast, he had forgotten to pay attention to the path!

Xu Feng looked around and noticed a cave under a large tree on a steep cliff. Remembering what Zhou Yang said about the hunting grounds having items left by seniors, Xu Feng walked towards the cave.

The cave clearly hadn't been visited for a long time, with spider webs all around. Xu Feng picked up a branch to clear them away before entering.

Inside the cave, he saw stone tables and benches, indicating that someone had lived there before. Xu Feng searched around and indeed found some items. He casually picked them up and examined them.

"Continental Notes? Imperial Map? Secrets of Crane City?"

Xu Feng was surprised as he looked at the notebooks, expecting to find something related to martial techniques. Instead, he found these items.

Xu Feng casually flipped through them and found them quite interesting. The Continental Notes described various professions, and what surprised Xu Feng was the existence of real dragons. After a thorough read, Xu Feng realized how incredible this world was, with many things he had never heard of. The thick Continental Notes made him forget his initial disappointment. For someone who was completely unfamiliar with this world, the Continental Notes would undoubtedly help him understand it quickly.

Of course, Xu Feng wasn't very interested in the Imperial Map. He didn't know that this map was extremely detailed, and any general who saw it would be willing to pay a fortune for it.

As for the Secrets of Crane City, Xu Feng's expression became quite peculiar after flipping through it. It recorded the decline of many noble families and also included many hearsay and gossip, even recording the affairs of beautiful widows.

This made Xu Feng surprised, thinking that the person who wrote these things must have been extremely bored. Could the spirit of gossip really be eternal?

Xu Feng put the three notebooks he didn't care much about back into his chest. At this moment, Xu Feng didn't realize that these three notebooks were worth a fortune and would bring him great convenience in the future.

Just as Xu Feng emerged from the cave, he found someone standing at the cave entrance.

Gong Jinxing was originally extremely excited when he saw the cave. After all, most caves in the hunting grounds were inhabited, and according to the academy's rules, seniors would leave some items for juniors. Gong Jinxing almost saw martial techniques and treasures!

However, he didn't expect that just as he was about to enter, someone came out of the cave. This made his heart sink.

But when he saw Xu Feng, his eyes lit up again. He blocked Xu Feng and shouted, "Leave the items, and you can go!"

Xu Feng was taken aback and then looked at the other person, "Are you robbing me? That's not a good habit!"

"Kid! Don't refuse a good offer. Hand over the items, and I'll protect you in the academy!" Gong Jinxing stared at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng was taken aback, thinking, "Is he a gang leader? How can he make such a big claim? Doesn't he know I'm under Xiao Yilin's protection?" Xu Feng felt he needed to tell Xiao Yilin that someone was trying to rob her subordinate.

"Not interested! I already have a boss, and she's a beautiful one," Xu Feng said disdainfully to Gong Jinxing.

"Hmph..." Seeing Xu Feng's refusal, Gong Jinxing's aura burst out, pressing down on Xu Feng. He thought that with his Spirit Realm strength, he could make this kid submit.

However, to his surprise, the young man in front of him showed no reaction. His powerful aura seemed to fall into a bottomless sea.

"I see you have the strength of the Spirit Realm. But I'm sorry, you've misjudged me," Xu Feng smiled slightly.

Saying this, Xu Feng's aura burst out, pressing down on Gong Jinxing. Under the sudden burst of Xu Feng's aura, Gong Jinxing took several steps back, his face showing fear as he looked at Xu Feng, "Spirit Realm?"

Gong Jinxing was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that this young man, who was a few years younger than him, had also reached the Spirit Realm. What shocked him even more was that his aura was several times stronger than his own. Could he be stronger than him?

"Are you still going to rob me?" Xu Feng narrowed his eyes at Gong Jinxing.

"Sorry!" Seeing Xu Feng's strength, Gong Jinxing naturally didn't dare to bully him casually and bowed to leave.

"Wait!" Xu Feng narrowed his eyes at Gong Jinxing, "I like to return favors. Since you robbed me once, I'll rob you once. Leave everything except your underwear."

"You..." Gong Jinxing was furious. Was this guy going to make him run naked in the hunting grounds?

"Don't push me too far!" Gong Jinxing glared at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng shrugged, "If you don't do it yourself, don't blame me for doing it."

Xu Feng thought, "Since you like to rob others, you should be prepared to be robbed."

"I'll see what you can do," Gong Jinxing glared at Xu Feng, not believing he was that strong.

"If you want to try, I'll let you!" Xu Feng said and punched straight at Gong Jinxing.

Gong Jinxing's face changed, and he quickly retreated, his fist meeting Xu Feng's. The impact made Gong Jinxing's arm numb, and he looked at Xu Feng with fear. He didn't expect this young man to be so strong.

"Take your underwear and go!" Xu Feng narrowed his eyes at him.

Gong Jinxing looked at Xu Feng with great caution but tried to intimidate him, "I'm a member of the Red List. Can't you give me some face?"

Xu Feng was taken aback, not expecting him to be a member of the Red List.

Seeing Xu Feng's serious expression, Gong Jinxing felt relieved, thinking the Red List's influence was enough to shock him.

But just as he was feeling smug, a calm voice said, "If you were a member of the Black List, I might give you some face, but you're not."

Xu Feng had offended Li Hexuan and didn't mind offending Gong Jinxing. He swung his fist and attacked Gong Jinxing again.

Gong Jinxing's face changed drastically, not expecting anyone in the academy to not give the Red List face. Could he be from the Black List? But there was no such person on the Black List!
