The Hunt Begins (2)

The two of them lined up while searching for Qi Huan while Mu Xin headed in different ways to search for her teammate first. Ye Jiao looked around and noticed that there were a lot of students who brought their servant into the hunt just like Lu Wan. It seemed that the number of noble students was quite a lot.

"So you're already over here," Qi Huan approached them and smiled. His silver hair attracted a lot of attention from their surroundings as many students were curious as to who this person was.

"You should cover your hair."

"That's too much hassle. I like leaving it like this."

Lu Wan yawned. "That's the royal family's color, right? Do all your brothers and sisters have the same hair color as you?"

"More or less yes," Qi Huan pointed to the teachers. "By the way, did you listen to the explanation or just loiter around?"

"It's hard to listen from the back," Lu Wan gave his excuse.

"He's using Eon Energy to amplify his voice. There's no way you wouldn't be able to hear his voice," QI Huan narrowed his eyes. "You're truly an idiot."

"Shut up! It's not that bad."

"Anyway, our task in the forest is to hunt rank 2 beast. Because the two of us are still rank 1, it might be a disadvantage, but there's no need to try searching for another teammate. I'm sure that we'll have fun," for a moment, Qi Huan's eyes lit up with excitement as if he was impatient to start the hunt.

Lu Wan shuddered a bit. As the closest to Qi Huan, he could clearly feel that split second bloodlust. "You should try to hold back a bit."

"I'll be fine."

"Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"The time limit is two months, so during this time, we have to properly count the time to return back or we'll be late."

"Got it."

As the two of them talked, they reached the front of the line. Qi Huan showed his identity paper and Lu Wan also did the same. Seeing the name, the teacher was stunned speechless.

These two were the most talented from the Eon Energy Master rank 1 with one of them came from Chi Kingdom while the other one came from Chen Kingdom. He had just approved Chen Zi Quan and Cao Mei, now this?

"Does your group only consist of two people?"

"Yes."

"Ok, this is your group badge. If you're in trouble, you can crush the badge to call us, but it'll mean that you forfeit the hunt."

"We understand. Thank you very much."

"Also, you're not allowed to bring the beast's core from outside," the teacher pointed to the side. "You have to get your storage bracelet checked.

Qi Huan took the plate with the number 4444 that the teacher gave. Seeing the number, Ye Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 4 were always associated as bad because it sounded similar to die.*

"Wow, even the plate is cursing the beasts that will come to meet with us," Lu Wan punched his fist forward. "This is going to be interesting!"

"Where's your storage bracelet?"

"Here you go."

The two of them already knew that they would check the storage bracelet, so they prepared a different one. Their weapon was kept in a secret small storage pouch that they brought. It was usually not checked because someone at their status shouldn't have used the pouch. Besides, the pouch could only bring one large item or several small items, which made it extremely inconvenient.

So far, Lu Wan's storage bracelet only consisted of some bottle of poison, money, and herbs. It was very easy to mistook the poison bottles for medicine as many other students brought them. As for Qi Huan, he only brought some daily necessities, money, books, and some others.

The teacher only scanned to find the beast core, so he didn't try to check the others. Besides, he knew that the students wouldn't like it if they tried to pry too much.

"Here you go. After the hunt has finished, you shall report the number of beast core that you get."

"Ok," Qi Huan took their storage bracelet back and handed one of them to Lu Wan, who took his time to wear it. He arched his eyebrows. "It would be better if you don't slow me down."

"Heh, who do you think you are? I definitely won't be any slower than you!"

Qi Huan arched his eyebrows. "Oh? Is that so?"

As soon as he finished talking, Qi Huan initiated his Eon Energy and sprinted into the forest. It didn't even take one second for Ye Jiao to ran after Qi Huan. She had sensed his sudden Eon Energy movement, so she prepared herself and chased after him. On the other hand, Lu Wan cursed out loudly while chasing after them.

"You! Wait for me, you silver hair!"
