Seeing Zhang Hao amongst the crowd of disciples, Fu Cheng wanted to leave immediately.
He didn't want anything to do with him, he wanted to get away from the past and move on with his new one. Now, he had a new life together with his family.
He got out of the water and hurriedly took all his clothes, he didn't mind getting away with his upper body naked whilst still drenched. However, as soon as he turned around ready to get out, Zhang Hao already stood in front of his way.
"Look who's here? My servant!"
Fu Cheng stood silent at the mockery of Zhang Hao. He was still afraid of him.
Habits are hard to get away from. Although he wanted this habit to die out, it wasn't easy to forget.
"...Zhang Hao, I'm not your servant anymore."
He really wasn't Zhang Hao's servant. He was now a person with family, the son of a Nascent Realm cultivator.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hao's parents were just in the early stage of Core Realm. Way beneath his Father's strength.
In order to retain his father reputation, he couldn't just let his fears succumb him everytime he was facing this piece of shit.
He must overcome this trauma, slowly but surely.
"Pfft— Just because I am a disciple of the Heavenly Cosmic Sect, doesn't mean you aren't my servant anymore."
Zhang Hao laughed at the words he just heard from Fu Cheng, that guy was saying nonsense. He looked at him with squinted eyes and devilish grin.
"Remember, you will always be my servant."
At the threat of Zhang Hao, Fu Cheng wanted to rebut. However, before he could open his mouth, a loud roar sounded throughout the whole forrest. The sound shook the leaves of the trees as if a strong gush of wind blew.
All the bird type Monster Beast flew towards the sky, as if they wanted to get away from this place immediately.
When everything calm down, the Examiner for the test of Beastaming return back panting. He looked as if mortified to what he just saw.
"Everyone! A 7-Star Black Panther is coming!"
When the words from their examiner arrived at the ears of each disciples present, everyone was consumed by panic.
Currently they were either at the Peak of the Spirit Realm or Early to Mid Foundation Realm, facing a 7-Star Black Panther they looked like ants. Easy to be squished.
"A 7-Star Black Panther!? How did it came here!?"
"Everyone, run!"
"Why did this happen?!"
"Aren't we supposed to be safe here?"
Chaos ensued in the whole place, with fear instilled in their hearts, everyone started running towards the Sect Proper Grounds.
Fu Cheng also ran for his life but suddenly he was pushed by Zhang Hao.
"If you really want to get away from being my servant, why don't you just die?"
As Zhang Hao used his power of late Spirit Realm, Fu Cheng flew a bit far away. Leading him near at the edge of the spring.
His whole body ached with pain, he couldn't get up and run for his life.
Facing a desperate situation, Fu Cheng decisively dragged his body and dived into the water.
Perhaps, by hiding there he could get away from the 7-Star Black Panther.
"That Zhang Hao... I vow to get my revenge if ever I survive here."
With such resolution, Fu Cheng took a big breathe before fully submerging his whole body.
When the 7-Star Black Panther arrived near the waterfall, he sniffed around as if he was looking for something.
"Strange, I thought the new owner of the Mystic Realm would be here."
Not being able to find who he was looking for, the 7-Star Black Panther stayed near the spring in order to take a nap.
As the Guardian of the Outer Mystic Realm, he took the role of protecting the owner.
Although, he was dissatisfied with this weak owner, he still followed.
Most of the time, he would just watch. If the owner was really going to die, at that time he would definitely going to save him.
Settling himself in between a nice comfortable bush, he assumed a cute black cat form and curled.
After a few minutes, Fu Cheng decided to get away from the spring. This time the pain subsided a little bit, although he still feel pain when he moved his body, he needed to get away from here as soon as possible.
When he saw that there were no danger, he immediately got away from this place. His running posture looked weird, as if he was a penguin that couldn't fold his knee while running. However, to him, that didn't matter.
If this was the best posture he could do to run as fast as possible right now, he didn't mind becoming a laughingstock. Fortunately, no one could see his miserable self as most of the disciples already got out from the forest.
Arriving at the outskirt of the Cosmic Forest, he found that there were few strong people guarding the exit.
The initially open forest, was now surrounded by big walls leaving a small gate protected by some Outer Elders at the Nascent Realm.
In just a few minutes, the Sect immediately rose these enormous walls.
This was a mechanism done in case strong Monster Beast from the core of the Cosmic Forest decided to run wild.
The wall was made of pure Leirsh Metal, the strongest metal capable of handling up to the strength of a 9-Star Beast Monster.
Usually, Monster Beast from the forest wouldn't think of rebelling against the sect as the Strongest Beast controlling the forest was the Sect Master's current Monster Pet.
However, due to the absence of the Sect Master together with his Monster Pet, there was no one left to control the Cosmic Forest. For now, the Vice Sect Master decided to erect the walls immediately and get all the Beastaming Disciples back within the walls.
The 7-Stat Black Panther wasn't a Monster Beast they knew of.
Either this Monster hid for thousand of years, or it just recently arrived taking advantage of the absence of the Strongest Monster Beast in the forest.
When the Outer Elders saw a disciple drenched with water coming from the forest, they immediately checked him.
When everything was clear, Fu Cheng was allowed to go inside the wall.
Fu Cheng didn't stay there longer, he immediately returned home.
His experience today was such an eyeopener to him.
He needed to get stronger so he will not be so helpless in front of dangers.
Returning in the courtyard, Fu Cheng immediately saw Yu Feng pacing back and forth.
He heard a strong roar echoing in the whole sect grounds. He was worried that something may happen to Fu Cheng, although they haven't been together for a long time, he still rook the responsibility of taking care of them while his Master was away.
As soon as Yu Feng saw the drenched Fu Cheng, he heaved a sigh.
"I heard a strong roar just now. The Sect also set off the alarm in the whole sect grounds. Although, they haven't said any announcements yet, just by the roar I can say that this is definitely serious."
Fu Cheng nodded. He was still at shock as to what just had happened.
First, he met with the person he loathed the most.
Second, he nearly would have died if he didn't hid in the spring.
Life really all comes to luck. He was lucky enough to escape the predicament of being eaten.
"It was a 7-Star Black Panther. That's all I know. As for the rest, I think the Sect will be making an announcement at the website or via TV."
At the words of Fu Cheng, Yu Feng agreed. Hopefully, they can get away from this predicament even with their master out.
Finishing their talk, Fu Cheng went straight to the bathroom in order to take a bath.
Meanwhile, Yu Feng went to Shi Wen's room.
This little guy have been sleeping the whole afternoon right after they talked with their master. It seems like he even cried before sleeping.
"Shi Wen, it's time for dinner. Wake up!"
This time Yu Feng loudly used his voice to wake Shi Wen up. He couldn't let this little guy sleep in times of emergency.
Having his sleep disrupted by Yu Feng, Shi Wen wake up grumpily. It took him a while to realize that it was his Senior Brother sho woke him up.
"Senior Brother! Sorry, I slept for a long time."
Hearing the apologies of Shi Wen, Yu Feng was guilty for a moment. However, he didn't let those feelings overtake him. They needed to talk during dinner.
Their safety was more important, and training could be done at home anytime. Their house was quite big with a wide yard. They can jog around the yard for how many laps they could do.
Until Master returned home, training without going outside was the best choice right now. Specially with the danger lurking right beside them.
'Sigh, why did Master left us all alone here as soon as he made us his disciples?'
