The Art of Chaotic Divinity - Chapter 260: Brotherhood!

Chapter 260: Brotherhood!

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The annual Hunting Competition arrived as scheduled.

East Court’s training ground.

“Hehe, you little bastards!”

The Devil Instructor, Leng Jianfeng, looked at the forty-six students from East Court who had signed up for the Hunting Competition, nodding in satisfaction as he stroked his chin.

Among these forty-six people were all seven roommates from Tianshu East Court, where Ling Feng resided. Of course, there was also Li Bufan, Wang Yishan, Liu Yunfei, and Qin Wanwan…

It was worth mentioning that ten female students had signed up for the competition, which made some of the male students who lacked courage embarrassed.

“Not bad, one-third of the students are participating. You guys are not scared to die!”

Leng Jianfeng spoke, stirring up some resentment among the students who had signed up and causing them to roll their eyes.

After spending over a month together, everyone knew that although Leng Jianfeng appeared cold and ruthless, he was actually a kind-hearted instructor, albeit with a sharp tongue.

“When we reach the Tianwei Mountains, you’d better be sharp-witted. I don’t want you rookies to die in there. I don’t want to be responsible for collecting your corpses!” Leng Jianfeng sneered while cursing.

“Damn, Instructor Leng, can’t you be a bit more optimistic about us!?” Wang Yishan, the big guy, immediately complained.

“Yeah, Instructor Leng, if something happens to us, it will be because of your toxic tongue!”

“Haha…”

Laughter erupted on the field.

“Get out of here, you little bastard!” Leng Jianfeng mercilessly kicked the student who was arguing aside, leaving him sprawled on the ground. “If you die, it’s your own fault. Return everything I’ve taught you!

“Alright, enough chatter. Let’s go!”

With a wave of Leng Jianfeng’s hand, the forty-six yellow-tier students from East Court set off toward the Tianwei Mountains in a grand procession.

As for those who didn’t sign up, they naturally stayed in the academy and attended classes as usual.

The Hunting Competition lasted for three days in total, and the students participating in the competition had to return after three days in the Tianwei Mountains.

The sole criterion for assessing the final results was naturally the demonic cores. The more demonic cores the students brought back and the higher their tiers, the higher their final score would be.

…

After about half an hour, under the leadership of Leng Jianfeng, everyone arrived at a vast mountain range.

Outside the forest in a clearing, many people had already gathered.

Of course, among those participating in the Hunting Competition, the majority were yellow-tier students, with about forty to fifty students from each court. As for the mystical-tier students and above, the number of participants was much smaller.

These experienced individuals already had an understanding of the strength of their peers at the same tier and knew roughly where they stood. Therefore, those students who knew they had no chance in competing for the final rewards were naturally too lazy to sign up for the competition.

“Finally, a chance for real combat!” Jiang Xiaofan rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

He had always been a battle fanatic, itching for this kind of real combat.

“Just a heads up, but I’m just here to spectate.” Feng Mo sighed lightly. Among the seven roommates from Tianshu East Court, he was the most lazy. He originally thought that spending these three days in the library reading some classics would be more comfortable than engaging in fights and killings.

However, since the other six were all participating, Feng Mo reluctantly joined in, adhering to the principle of unity.

“Each tier of students must rank in the top ten to receive rewards. So, after entering the Tianwei Mountains, our opponents won’t just be demonic beasts, but also potentially students from other courts.”

Pursing his lips, Ling Feng reminded them in a low voice.

In fact, even students from East Court might resort to backstabbing to compete for those valuable rewards.

However, Ling Feng didn’t want to make it explicit; as long as everyone understood tacitly.

Especially Jiang Xiaofan, whose mind was just a bit too naive.

“Yeah, got it.” Jiang Xiaofan was the first to nod. Whenever Ling Feng said something, Jiang Xiaofan never doubted it. He was just that trusting of Ling Feng.

“You big dummy, Big Brother was telling you for a reason. Being innocent isn’t necessarily bad, but being too innocent is just foolish!” Ouyang Jing, who also had a bond with Jiang Xiaofan, couldn’t help but offer this reminder.

Back then, in the Ouyang family, even relatives could harm each other to compete for the position of young master. Being too naive could lead to trouble.

The heart to harm others should not exist, but the heart to guard against others should not be absent either!

“Hehe…” Jiang Xiaofan awkwardly scratched the back of his head, nodding repeatedly. How much he actually understood was only clear to himself.

“Alright, after we go in, let’s stick together.” Ling Feng patted Jiang Xiaofan’s shoulder. These guys’ abilities among the yellow-tier students are passable, but standing out among the students from the five courts would be a bit challenging.

Since they call me Big Brother, I naturally have to help them. I’ll at least try to get them a decent ranking.

“Haha, with Brother Feng saying that, we can relax!” Feng Mo immediately came over with a grin. With Ling Feng around, hunting demonic beasts would be like playing.

He Yiming and Yang Jun also nodded in agreement. “Thanks, Brother Feng!”

However, Jiang Xiaofan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “Big Brother, I-I want to…”

Seeing the look in Jiang Xiaofan’s eyes, Ling Feng understood what he meant. This stubborn young man didn’t want to rely on Ling Feng for everything.

“I understand.” Ling Feng’s eyes showed a hint of admiration. Perhaps Jiang Xiaofan had the worst talent among their roommates, but with his character, he would definitely achieve the most in the future.

“Jiang Xiaofan, good luck!” Ling Feng patted his shoulder again. He had no reason to stop Jiang Xiaofan, and he even felt proud of having such a brother.

“Thanks, Big Brother!” Jiang Xiaofan scratched his head in his typical innocent manner, feeling lucky to have Ling Feng, who understood him so well, as his brother.

“No, letting Xiaofan go alone is not acceptable.” Ouyang Jing smirked. “Big Brother, I’ll go with Xiaofan. My strength is similar to his, so teaming up with him is perfect. Xiaofan’s strength is fine, but he’s too naive and easily deceived!”

“Second Brother…” Jiang Xiaofan was moved, looking gratefully at Ouyang Jing with a hint of tears shimmering in his eyes.

“Alright, alright, calling me Second Brother is not for nothing!” Ouyang Jing shrugged casually while chuckling. “Since I’m your Second Brother, don’t think about leaving me far behind. My strength is quite formidable!”

“Yeah, it’s good for you two to watch out for each other.”

Ling Feng nodded, knowing that with Jiang Xiaofan’s combat prowess and Ouyang Jing’s intelligence, they wouldn’t suffer any major setbacks.

“Damn, the chance to gain experience shouldn’t just be for you two! Brother Feng, I’ll also go my own way!” Zhou Kai, stirred by Jiang Xiaofan and Ouyang Jing’s enthusiasm, slapped his chest and declared loudly.

“Brother Kai, I’m going with you!” He Yiming laughed heartily.

In the end, the seven roommates from Tianshu East Court split into three teams: Ling Feng, Yang Jun, and Feng Mo in one team; Jiang Xiaofan and Ouyang Jing in another; and Zhou Kai and He Yiming in the third.

Meanwhile, not far away, a few of the students from West Court gathered in a nearby bush. He Zhongjie and his brother hid among them, their eyes gleaming with chilling determination…
