Chapter 16 : Blood Demon

Since Lin Hong said that Ye Xinghe must listen to him, Xinghe nodded his head and said, “Got it. I won’t casually treat others anymore in the future“. Although he wasn’t clear about the reason, He didn’t want to lost his only friend in the academy.

“That’s good!” Lin Hong nodded.

When Ye Xinghe treated Lin Hong, he noticed something unusual on Lin Hong’s arm, there was a mysterious seal that faintly visible through the latter’s clothes. He didn’t understand how he could see it, when the clothes blocked his vision.

It was an extremely mystical seal, it resembled a dark, scarlet Blood Demon that bit a person, it made Ye XInghe felt that his entire neck was restrained thoroughly, made him unable to breathe.

!

Ye Xinghe panted, he breathed deeply, on his whole body already covered by cold sweat.

Saw Ye Xinghe condition, Lin Hong startled slightly, his eyes narrowed, and after being silent for a long time, asked in a low voice, “Xinghe, can you see ‘it’?”

“Yeah, what is that?” on Ye Xinghe’s eye flashed a trace of fear, he looked at Lin Hong and asked it.

“Don’t worry about it, and don’t tell others, all right? The only thing you need to know is I won’t harm you!” Lin Hong stared at Ye Xinghe’s eyes and said gently.

After stared at Lin Hong for a long time, Ye Xinghe finally nodded his head. He was willing to do it as he wanted to remain as Lin Hong’s friend. Actually, that Scarlet Blood Demon, what the hell is that? He anxiously thought, this Lin Hong, wasn’t as simple as his appearance.

After the treatment end, Lin Hong’s hands already restored, there was not a single scar remained. One of their classmates nearby exclaimed in admiration, “Xinghe, you’re really cool! Everybody said that Star Martial Artists are the most useless, I don’t think so at all! If a team has a Star Martial Artist like you as a member, the other members would really steadfast to the team. Later, if I get injured, I’ll depend on you!”

The one talked was a youth with Grey, cotton Robes, called Mo Yu. She came from common aristocratic family like Ye Xinghe and Lin Hong. He has a good relationship with Lin Hong and wanted to make friend with Ye Xinghe.

They three were the most outstanding people between the common family juniors in the class.

“Later, if only small wound, don’t ask Xinghe to treat you! His treatment method cost him a lot of power of stars!” Lin Hong sternly said to Mo Yu with serious expression.

Ye Xinghe wanted to explain that each treatment only cost him small amount of power of stars, but saw Lin Hong’s swift and fierce sight, made him swallow back the words that was about to be said.

“Okay!” Mo Yu shrugged her shoulder, and smiled toward Ye Xinghe.

Although they were of the same age, Lin Hong appeared very steady and experienced, but Mo Yu, can be said as the type that led a carefree live. Ye Xinghe only heard indistinctly that Mo Yu came from Ghost Gate Town, this name, always caused human’s heart to felt chill in the air. She was an orphan that got adopted by a farmer couple. Every day, she played anywhere from the mountains to the sea, never try cultivation seriously, but she actually displayed innate talent that was higher than average, so she could enrolled to Heavenly Stars Academy.

While the students chatted among themselves, the teams for the Hunt slowly created between them.

Teacher Chu Xian walked toward them, looked at Ye Xinghe and the other and said, “This team, will be under my lead, the team member are : Xia Yuning, An Xueyun, Liang Yu, Ye Xinghe, Mo Yu, Lin Hong, Xiao Yang, He Shan, Wu Long, … ”

Teacher Chu Xian announced the total of 16 names. Almost half the students in the class were assembled in the team.

As the team leader, there were five teachers beside Teacher Chu Xian. All of them had cultivation of Heavenly Layer Realm 5th stage, and they were responsible for taking care of these students group.

After registered all the members, teacher Chu Xian smiled lightly and said, “Follow me!”

The group gathered and lined up in the row.

This team came out from Heavenly Star Academy and sets out toward the remote mountain range.

They went through long mountain road, probably after walking for two hours, arrived at an iron bridge. On the two sides of the bridge, were stood tall and erect cliffs, if one were to looked below the bridge, unexpectedly was really deep, so deep they couldn’t saw the bottom. There were iron chains that plank the bridge to the distant top of mountain. These chains, planked the whole bridge, the length surely exceed several hundred meters.

“This is the entrance to Smelting Trial site. The site was on that plateau. We were surrounded by tall cliffs, the only way to go there is through this bridge. This bridge runs upward more than 500 meters, every time we walked on this road, no more than 30 students can pass it at once!” Teacher Chu Xian smiled and continue said, “All of you could rest assured, this bridge and the chains were built from really profound metal. We don’t know which super expert created this bridge, but until now, nobody could break it!”

Heard Teacher’s words, the vision of all the students fell at the bridge, all of them sucked a mouthful of cold air. Under the bridge, there was thick fog that blocked their vision until they couldn’t see the bottom. Not only that, as they looked to the bridge upfront, the bridge also led them deep inside the thick fog, they completely couldn’t see the bridge’s end.

Stood before the eerie bridge, they couldn’t help but felt their legs got soft.

“I will lead the way, all of you, follow behind me!” Chu Xian, smiled slightly, and started to walk to the iron bridge.

Xia Yuning and An Xueyun was the first ones that followed him. Behind them, Liang Yu and the others couldn’t help but swallowed their saliva, although they still felt afraid, but they won’t admit themselves inferior to other, and followed.

“How can we lose to these girls?” Lin Hong looked at Xia Yuning’s back, took a step to the bridge.

Ye Xinghe and Mo Yu also followed behind him.

“Hee, so these cliffs are quite deep eh?” Mo Yu kept looking all around, even to the deep cliff. No sign of her being afraid at all.

The rest of the students also followed behind, while all five other teachers were looking after the students in their care respectively.

Right now there were more than 30 peoples walking on the bridge, it made the bridge swayed a bit, everyone couldn’t help but slowed down their footsteps, afraid that the bridge would break down.

Xinghe, how is your present cultivation?” Lin Hong asked Ye Xinghe while they walked side by side.

“I’m not really sure actually” Ye Xinghe hesitated a bit, “At least I’m on Heavenly Layer 2nd stage, but it’s also possible to reach the 3rd stage already.”

“Heavenly Layer 3rd stage?” Lin Hong was stupefied, but immediately laughed and said, “Your cultivation speed was really too fast, presently I’m still at Heavenly Layer 2nd stage!”

“I’m not even sure that I really reached 3rd stage yet. In any case, I still can’t defeat Flame Martial Artists or Dragon Martial Artists of Heavenly Layer 3rd Stage anyway!” Ye Xinghe smiled bitterly. After all, he was a Star Martial Artist, although he could learn some martial skills already, but majority of them was not for fighting purpose. Really different from Flame or Dragon Martial Artists, who could start to learn some formidable martial skills already in the Heavenly Layer 3rd stage.

“Actually you don’t need to be anxious, for every Star Martial Artists, they need to reach Heavenly Layer 8th Stage to be truly strong!” Lin Hong said smilingly.

“How do you know that?” Ye Xinghe opened his eye widely, looked at Lin Hong in doubt. After all, not even Vice Headmaster Xu had told him about this matter.

“Err…” Lin Hong’s facial expression stiffened. He scratched his head, then laughingly said, “I read about it in an ancient book by chance.”

“Ancient book? Which Ancient book? Can I have a look at it?” Ye Xinghe’s interest was aroused immediately. He spent these days with read about any book he found, so he almost finished reading all those books in his residential already!

“… I’m sorry, but those ancient books had been burnt down.” Lin Dong said dejectedly, and turned his head and walked to the front.

“Burnt down?” Ye Xinghe watched Lin Hong’s back in doubts, he had this strange feeling that the latter was concealing some things to him.
