"Most of the beast in the periphery are not particular a threat to you again, let's go deeper into the forest and search for the higher ranked magical beast" said the old gramps suddenly

"We should go deeper, are you sure, what if we encounter high ranking magical beast, won't I have died for nothing" said Yun wei hesitating

"If you are so afraid of death why bother cultivating, all the beasts we have seen so far haven't been able to stimulate your potential cause you have not been in any life or death situation.

Listen kid, if you want to go far on the part of martial cultivation you must be courageous, bold and fearless, stimulating battles or combat is one of the best way to train while cultivating martial arts

Apart from that, don't you have me? with me around, you don't have to worry cause, even though I can not come out and do battle, i still have my powerful soul to monitor the surroundings and safely lead you away from dangerous places" said the old gramps in a lecturing tone

"OK if you say so, then lead the way" said Yun wei with a little bit of excitement alongside desire for battle brewing up in him

Yun wei couldn't be said to be a coward but because he is still a kid and being the first time out, he is still acting all naive and innocent, but the old man with a lot of experience seeing all these flaws took his time to guide him and help him to gradually shed away his previous mentality and to expose him to the cruelty of reality

"But first before we go let's hunt down the remaining high level magical beast in the surrounding" said the old gramps

"There are still high level beast in the surroundings aren't they all supposed to be cleared out a long time" said Yun wei curiously

"Calm down and think about it, if there are not any high level beast in the surroundings then it won't be challenging for you and the others that are in the peak of meridian opening at all and then the purpose of the clan hunt won't be met.

Remember apart from these being part of the clan's competition, it is also a means for the clan to expose the youths to danger and temper them, so what do you think"

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"I think it is ok but what if other clansmen that are not in the peak of meridian opening encounters those high level magical beast like I did, won't it be disastrous"

"Oh do you think you are alone, atleast I know different clan elders have been dispatched to ensure your safety and they have there own means of making ordinary participants avoid the high level beast

Let's leave all of that, just know that it is unlikely for anyone to die under there watch, so let's proceed I will lead you to our next target" said the old gramps

Yun wei listened and followed the old gramps instructions and thinks to himself about what the old man said

Since the clan hunt began, it has been a little difficult to adapt to these kind of life of constant vigilance, he somehow missed his parents and the safety under the canopy of the city but he also realised that all these can also only be achieved through having enough or the necessary strength

That's why he has been trying hard and listening to old gramps advice so as to get stronger and hone his combat strength

During the previous day's he encountered different kinds of magical beast some he engaged and some ignored, he maintained constant vigilance and learned how to fend for himself in the forest

Yun wei is still trying to adapt and he is getting a little used to life in the forest atleast better than when he first came in and his combat strength has undergone a tremendous change even though his cultivation has not changed and if he met himself of prior to his entrance into the forest he is sure he will easily defeat him within few moves

Only his usage of spear hasn't seen any changes and that is because he has not trained in it or used it at all since the event started

"We have already approached another High level magical beast" said the old gramps suddenly jolting him awake and bringing back his awareness back which he promptly reacts to by immediately reducing his speed until he comes to an halt and immediately prepares for battle

"These is not like the usual beast you have been encountering since because this is a peak meridian opening magical beast so you have to be very careful"

Yun wei nodded as a sign of understanding and approaches swiftly, gently and noiseless, keeping himself completely alert and battle ready

As he approaches he finally sees the magical beast from afar and was suprised

"A demonic steel ape"

"No it is not a pure blooded demonic steel ape, it is a mixed blood and it's ties to his ancestors or his bloodline has been diluted" said Yun wei but these does not lesson the vigilance in his heart because even though it is not pure blooded it is still very terrifying

Unknown to him from afar the elder that has been following was still hesitating whether he should use his aura to pressurize the beast to flee but later changes his mind and decides to let him try and that if he is in danger it won't be to late to safe him

"It might even be able to to stimulate his bloodline power if he is in danger and through that get a little familiar and maybe even learn to control it" mutters the elder after weighing the pros and cons of it and later decides not to act

If Yun wei or Yun li were able to see him they would have known that it is the same elder that rescued them from the hands of the lin clan is the one in watching after him these moment after he sees him approaching the demonic steel ape, elder Yun qing

The old gramps seeing the magical beast told yun wei

"Yun wei you might need to use the spear that's behind you if you want to have a chance at killing it"

Yun wei knowing that what the old gramps said is true and these will probably be the toughest battle he has had so far

"Demonic steel ape, these is going to be a tough one, I hope you don't dissapoint?"
