Dai Feng and Shen Zhiming were panicking when Yang Wei still hadn't come out after a few minutes.
"Could he really be-" Shen Zhiming said nervously.
"Impossible, Yang Wei still owes us lunch so there's no way he can die from a puny Lightning Eagle." Dai Feng shook his head vigorously.
While they were frantically searching for Yang Wei, Yang Wei came out from under the ground.
"Cough, aren't you a bit heartless to think about lunch over my life?" Yang Wei then said when he heard those two still talking about getting free lunch from him.
Dai Feng and Shen Zhiming shuddered when they heard Yang Wei's voice.
They turned around and saw Yang Wei unscathed as they quickly ran toward him and punched his chest lightly.
"Damn it, how could you trick us like that?" Shen Zhiming said angrily.
"Don't think about dying without treating us to lunch." Dai Feng added.
Yang Wei was rendered speechless by their behavior. He would have been in danger if he didn't manage to dig in time to avoid a catastrophic injury from the Lightning Eagle.
"It's a bit hurtful that the two of you could only think about lunch." Yang Wei said.
"Tch, you deserve it for hogging all the beauties in our sect." Dai Feng shrugged his shoulders.
"You're lucky that I and Shen Zhiming have our own girlfriend, otherwise, we would be like the rest of the 'kill Yang Wei group'." He then said.
"Kill Yang Wei group?" Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.
Shen Zhiming suddenly laughed as he patted Yang Wei's shoulder. "Ai- you are really ignorant. There are many men in the sect that wish to tear you apart for stealing their crush."
Dai Feng nodded his head. "If you hadn't met us and instead met other single men in our sect then your life would have been over already."
Yang Wei held a gawking expression as he never expected the hatred on him would be this huge.
"I already know many people hate me but they must really be bored of their minds." Yang Wei murmured as he couldn't believe the mindset of his fellow disciples.
"Anyway, I'm going to collect these two Lightning Eagles and report to Elder Jing." Yang Wei then said as he changed the topic.
"Hey, that's not fair man. We assisted in killing the Lightning Eagles as well." Dai Feng complained.
"Well, you don't have people targeting your back right?" Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders. "I have a lot of people wanting me dead and don't forget- there are still the Scavenger Tiger Bandits that we need to watch out for."
"Yang Wei is right, Dai Feng." Shen Zhiming nodded his head in understanding.
"Yang Wei probably wants to leave the Misty Forest to inform Elder Jing about them so that we can receive assistance. Not to mention, he's essentially giving up his chance to become top 3 for our safety."
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Dai Feng pouted. "Of course I know what Yang Wei was thinking."
Dai Feng then glanced at Yang Wei solemnly before handing him an item. "This item is a protective barrier that can deflect an attack by 7th Foundation Core realm and below."
Yang Wei accepted the item and cupped his fist to give his thanks.
"Then, I shall head off now to inform Elder Jing about the Scavenger Tiger Bandits."
Yang Wei then retrieved the two Lightning Eagles' corpses into his storage ring, completing the bare minimum of the test.
As he was about to leave, Yang Wei kindly informed them that there are more magical beasts in the nest.
Sometime later, Yang Wei activated the talisman and left the Misty Forest.
He was soon greeted by Elder Kun who raised his eyebrow.
He had a dumbfounded expression when he saw that Yang Wei was the first to finish the test.
Being first in this test wasn't an achievement but a failure since everyone would definitely spend as much time as they can to kill more magical beasts.
"Disciple Yang Wei- you're submitting your result?" Elder Kun asked, forgetting the fact that Yang Wei had used a talisman which is a disqualification.
Yang Wei nodded his head and was glancing around to see if Elder Jing was nearby.
"I have to submit my result now so that I can talk to Elder Jing about something." Yang Wei then brought out the Fiery Bull and two Lightning Eagles for Elder Kun to inspect.
"You want to talk to Elder Jing?" Elder Kun was dumbfounded by Yang Wei's behavior.
"Un, while I was killing the magical beasts, there were bandits from the Scavenger Tiger." Yang Wei said as he continued, "From what I heard, they had already killed some of our members in the Misty Forest."
Elder Kun stopped his inspection as he held a solemn expression. "Are you sure it's the Scavenger Tiger Bandits?"
"Yes, Shen Zhiming and Dai Feng can confirm this fact but they are still inside the Misty Forest since they haven't met the requirement yet." Yang Wei replied.
Elder Kun quickly retrieved a communication device and connected to Elder Jing.
"Elder Jing, we have a situation in the Misty Forest."
"What kind of situation?"
"This is not something that can be quickly discussed in the communication device. I'll need you to be here now." Elder Kun said in a serious tone.
"I understand." Elder Jing's voice resounded from the communication device.
Sometime later, Elder Jing arrived at the entrance of the Misty Forest and was quickly dumbfounded to see Yang Wei here.
She then glanced at Elder Kun who held a serious expression.
"What's going on?" Elder Jing asked. "It hasn't even been a day since the start of the test."
She had left Elder Kun behind in the Misty Forest in case any troubles arose, whereas she returned to the sect to report to Kong Yusheng but never did she expect to be called over right away.
Elder Kun didn't reply but merely glanced at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei understood his meaning as he walked toward Elder Jing and informed her about the bandits.
