Chapter 37

Step Hailong was confused by Bu Zheng's trick. He was not very good at arithmetic and couldn't figure out how to refute the equation. He felt that he really owed the other party a one, but it just didn't make sense.

Moreover, Bu Zheng's last words, what did he mean by having no money? How could the young master possibly have no money?

The latter statement seemed more important than whether the problem was right or wrong. He might as well treat it as spending money to get rid of a beggar, which would be enough to cover the other party's tuition.

"Consider it my loose tongue, I said the wrong thing! But I am a man of my word, once I say something, I won't change it. Since you calculated it this way, I'll give you the silver. It's like giving money to a beggar; the young master doesn't care about this amount of money." Step Hailong knew the key was that his words had given Bu Zheng an opening, and saying this also made Bu Zheng seem like a scoundrel, while he appeared upright and honest.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Bu is really generous. It's just a word, you could say you've already given me the money, then you can add another one. This is all just your mouth speaking..." After taking the silver, Bu Zheng said some words that were enough to destroy the good image Step Hailong had just built.

"I'm not like you, a scoundrel. What I say is a man of my word, and I won't change it." Step Hailong raised his head to the sky, looked down at Bu Zheng, and said proudly.

"True man!" Bu Zheng raised his thumb and said seriously, as if he really admired and respected Step Hailong.

"..."

This left him speechless again. If anyone else had praised Step Hailong, it would have greatly improved his image, but from Bu Zheng, it seemed to have the opposite effect.

"Cough, cough, stop fooling around. We're approaching the outer perimeter of the ancient site, and we might encounter some fierce beasts, or even demonic beasts." Chu Xiong coughed and stepped in to mediate. After all, Step Hailong was from their Green Ox Peak, and he couldn't be too embarrassing.

"Junior Brother, don't go so far ahead, what if something happens..." Chu Xiong was about to remind Bu Zheng when, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.

"Roar!!"

A leopard-like fierce beast leaped out and paused in mid-air. In that instant, everyone could see the leopard clearly. It was a black leopard, with a body covered in smooth, silky black fur, and its size was not that of an ordinary leopard but that of a regular cow.

This black leopard was called a Black Wind Leopard, a very dangerous type of fierce beast. Its size and strength were not its most terrifying aspects; its speed was. The Black Wind Leopard got its name from this speed.

With the speed of the Black Wind Leopard, even ordinary martial artists couldn't match it. A martial artist of the First Pulse would be in great danger if they fought it one-on-one, and for those below the First Pulse, the danger was unimaginable.

In the blink of an eye, the Black Wind Leopard paused in mid-air and immediately dived towards Bu Zheng. Its speed made it impossible for anyone far away to rescue him. Bu Zheng had taken a few large steps forward, putting some distance between him and the group. Even Chu Xiong couldn't help from that distance.

Now, they could only hope that Bu Zheng could survive the first round. As long as he could last one round, they could catch up...

He shouldn't die, at most he would be injured!

At this moment, Chu Xiong and the others who were rushing over thought to themselves. They all knew that Bu Zheng just needed to survive that instant, and the chances of him dying were low, but he would likely be injured.

If he was injured, that would be a headache, as he would need care. In severe cases, he would have to be sent back, which was something everyone hoped to avoid.

At this moment, something surprising happened.

"Ah, help!"

Bu Zheng let out a scream and ran back to Chu Xiong and the others. This happened at the moment the Black Wind Leopard pounced on him. When everyone thought he would be injured, he dodged the Black Wind Leopard with a quick move and ran back to Chu Xiong and the others at high speed. However, because the distance was short, no one noticed how fast he was running.

Even if they had noticed, they would have thought Bu Zheng was running for his life and had unleashed incredible potential.

As for Bu Zheng's quick dodge, everyone just thought it was a coincidence. After all, Bu Zheng had just been lucky, yes, just lucky.

Only Qin Shuang's eyes flickered at this moment, but it was gone in an instant.

The Black Wind Leopard was almost instantly killed by Chu Xiong and the others. After all, they were all martial artists of the Third Pulse, and even low-level demonic beasts could be handled, let alone just a fierce beast.

Originally, such a Black Wind Leopard wouldn't have been dealt with by Chu Xiong. If it weren't for Bu Zheng, it would have been left to the new disciples as a training exercise, and they would only step in if the new disciples were in danger.

"Bu Zheng, are you okay?" Zhao Zhiyin was the first to run over, concerned about Bu Zheng's condition. Bu Zheng was the hope for his "happy" life.

"I'm fine, luckily you came quickly. Why is this black leopard as big as a cow?" Bu Zheng looked at the Black Wind Leopard that had been killed. It wasn't the first time he had seen a fierce beast, but he had a habit of asking about species he hadn't seen before. Even if he encountered another fierce beast, he would still ask why, as long as he hadn't seen it.

"This is a Black Wind Leopard, a very dangerous type of fierce beast. Fierce beasts are a bit larger than wild beasts, and the largest are demonic beasts. However, demonic beasts can also be small, unlike fierce beasts, which are always large," Qi Tian explained, regardless of whether Bu Zheng had heard it before, introducing the differences between fierce beasts, wild beasts, and demonic beasts.

The difference is that fierce beasts are all large!

"Junior Brother, although this Black Wind Leopard isn't as valuable as a demonic beast, it's still pretty good. I'll give it to you, consider it yours," Chu Xiong said to Bu Zheng.

Although the Black Wind Leopard was a fierce beast, it wasn't a valuable item for them. Even the new disciples didn't value it much. This wasn't to say that fierce beasts weren't valuable; if they had valuable materials, they would be valuable, whether they were wild beasts, fierce beasts, or demonic beasts.

Without valuable materials, a Black Wind Leopard like this was only valuable for its fur and some medicinal parts, which weren't very valuable to martial artists. Giving it to Bu Zheng wouldn't cause any objections from the others.

The Black Wind Leopard was originally "attracted" by Bu Zheng, and since Chu Xiong and the others had personally dealt with it, it had nothing to do with the new disciples. Chu Xiong naturally had the right to distribute it.

The Black Wind Leopard wasn't very useful to them, but it could be useful to Bu Zheng for refining pills. Therefore, Bu Zheng didn't hesitate to store the Black Wind Leopard in his Spatial Ring.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Step Hailong and the other new disciples noticed that Bu Zheng had a Spatial Ring on his hand. They were still using Spatial Bags, so why did this miscellaneous disciple have one?

Could it be that his identity is hidden?
