Return Of The Demon

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 to meet 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 gra.s.sland was a dangerous place in the night. Thankfully it seemed as if there were not many beasts in the gra.s.slands, and Bai Yun"s exceptional ability, a.s.sa.s.sination techniques and G.o.d 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 partic.i.p.ants 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 G.o.d 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 the control room, there were a group of people who were looking at the screens and a.n.a.lyzing 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 p.i.s.sed 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 p.i.s.sed 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.

"Bell." A sweet voice said from behind him. "I hop you are not planning on doing something, are you? An examiner sending a Shadow Leopard is bad enough, but sending even more. Just how many of them do you think we have." It was the lady who had guided Bai Yun and company to the testing grounds.

"Nope boss. I was just making sure that I could react in time in case things got dangerous." He replied while shaking his head. A chuckle went around the room.

The lady smiled. "I came to head the test this time because I heard that we had a few celebrities here. But it seemed as if we might also have a few diamonds in the rough."

"Speaking of the celebrities, look there." One of the people in the room pointed at a screen.

The woman looked at the screen. There a young girl could be seen walking in the direction of Bai Yun and the Shadow Leopard. She smiled. "It will be fun if they meet. One of them is a famed genius from a major force. While the other person is simply impressive. Even though he clearly knows what he is facing, he isn"t frightened at all. In fact he is smiling."

Bai Yun was indeed smiling. For others, the Shadow Leopard might be a terrifying opponent, but not so for Bai Yun. The shadow leopards biggest advantage was its concealment ability as well as its sped. But now that Bai Yun had tied one of his soul tendrils around the shadow leopard, its concealment was all but nullified. And the simple sword would be a nightmare for anyone who only had speed but no strength or technique.

Of course if it was too fast for Bai Yun to react, then any technique would be useless. But a second circle shadow leopard was not so fast. But Bai Yun was still annoyed about something. If this was an contestant, he could have at least reduced the number of enemies. But any beast was worthless in the first test. The only thing he would gain would be cuts and bruises.

Bai Yun looked at the animal closely. He had calmed down after the shout. After promising to personally strangle the test takers, he moved towards the beast once again.

Bai Yun did not make a move and waited for the leopard to approach. It did not disappoint. After a moment of hesitation, it leaped towards Bai Yun once again.

Bai Yun was reminded of the attack of the grey rock python. But the leopard, even with its increased cultivation, was still slower. He simply used his sword to deflect the leopard and send it flying.

The leopard tuned around and ran at him. It was shorter than Bai Yun , but it could match up to him by standing on its two legs. Bai Yun simply used his sword to block the leopards attacks, while using his left hand to send a punch at its face. In response the leopard jumped back, receiving the punch in its chest to minimize damage.

The leopard moved back and the attacked Bai Yun once again. This time Bai Yun crouched down, sending a slash up at the beast. It used its outstanding agility to dodge the close attack, but not before it had a small cut on its rib.

As the two of them drew back once again, the beast looked down at its torso and saw the blood slowly drip down. It seemed to make it mad as it turned to Bai Yun and roared.

"What are you mad?" Bai Yun chuckled, even as his sword tip lit up with a small light.

As the leopard attacked him, Bai Yun thrust his sword forward. The leopards eyes narrowed as it saw the light at the sword tip. It roared, and its muscled flexed. Knowing that it was too late to dodge, it put all of its strength into it"s forearm, and swiped at full force.

As the two attacks collided, the two of them flew back with a bang. Bai Yun balanced himself and swung his arm that had started to throb a little bit. The leopard on the other hand had a cut up its leg, and was bleeding quite well. It turned to Bai Yun and growled in a low posture.

Bai Yun grinned and got into an attack mode once again. As he was preparing to face off against the beast once again, both he and the beast felt someone enter their perception. As Bai Yun looked towards his left, he saw a little girl in a red dress enter the field. On her hip, she was wearing a small green whip.

"Waa, what a cute kitty." She exclaimed.

Bai Yun wondered whether it was only the ones he met, or whether all the women in this world were crazy.
