By this point, Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang had already entered the mountain range.
This mountain range was covered with undulating peaks and dense, sprawling forests.
Growls of beasts and cries of birds, terrifying to the soul, rang out from within the forests from time to time.
Occasionally, fearsome, ferocious auras also emanated from those dense woods.
Yet, Ye Yunfei felt no pressure at all.
Da Di Daozhang was the same, feeling completely at ease. He knew that staying beside Ye Yunfei meant absolute safety!
Suddenly.
ROAR...
Ahead, the roar of a beast rang out. Rolling soundwaves, like a typhoon sweeping through, swept across a large swath of the forest.
A torrential ferocious aura erupted from the direction of the roar, enveloping an area of several miles.
Next.
A white-browed demonic tiger appeared atop a distant hill, its beastly eyes fixed on Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
It was a demonic beast with the strength of the middle stage of the Minor Mystic Pill Realm.
This demonic tiger happened to be blocking the path ahead for Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
However, Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang simply looked right past it, striding forward boldly.
Roaar... roarr...
The demonic tiger roared at Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang several times, trying to display its fearsome aura.
Alas, Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang couldn't even be bothered to spare it another glance.
Soon, they walked right up to the demonic tiger.
"Brute, scram if you don't want to die!"
Da Di Daozhang glared at the demonic tiger.
ROAR!
This truly enraged the demonic tiger.
These two humans before it actually ignored it completely!
RUMBLE...
A rolling tiger's might, like terrifying waves, surged toward Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
"Scram!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly swept his hand out in a slap. His palm continuously enlarged, transforming instantly into a giant hand several acres in size.
WHOOOSH…
Sensing the physical power released by Ye Yunfei, the demonic tiger lost its soul in fright and hurriedly retreated.
But it was too late.
THUD!
The demonic tiger was slapped flying, crashing toward a distant mountain peak. It shattered half the peak on impact!
After slapping the demonic tiger away, Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang didn't even look back, striding forward.
"Excellent!"
Within the Heavenly Dao Academy, in a hall, a slightly overweight old man stood before a crystal screen and applauded loudly.
This old man was precisely Elder Tang.
"Tenth Level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, yet can send a demonic beast with middle-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm strength flying with one slap. This youngster really is a freak!"
Elder Tang's eyes shone as he stared at Ye Yunfei on the screen, speaking excitedly.
Back in the mountain range.
As Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang advanced, they encountered many demonic beasts and monsters emerging to block their path.
All of them were lightly swatted away by Ye Yunfei's palm.
In fact, a few beasts with Minor Mystic Pill Realm initial-stage strength, the moment they sensed the physical power Ye Yunfei released, pissed themselves in terror and fled in panic.
Ye Yunfei knew the demonic beasts and monsters in this mountain range were surely raised here by the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei didn't go for the kill.
"Ye Yunfei, if we encounter more demonic beasts and monsters, you don't need to act. Let me handle it."
Da Di Daozhang said to Ye Yunfei.
He had now reached the middle stage of the Minor Mystic Pill Realm and wanted to use this chance to temper himself properly.
"Fine."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
Thus, from then on, the demonic beasts and monsters they encountered were dealt with by Da Di Daozhang, while Ye Yunfei stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching.
Although Da Di Daozhang had only broken through to the Minor Mystic Pill Realm middle stage a few days ago, his accumulated insights and comprehension were more than sufficient long ago.
Furthermore, the Dao Pills refined personally by Ye Yunfei for him were extremely effective.
Therefore, he had already firmly stabilized at this realm, the middle stage of the Minor Mystic Pill Realm.
His innate talent wasn't bad to begin with, and he had cultivated almost all of the Houtu Sect's various techniques and secret arts. The combat power he possessed was quite solid.
Very soon, Da Di Daozhang was able to defeat those demonic beasts and monsters with middle-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm strength.
"Ye Yunfei, so far, the strongest demonic beasts and monsters we've encountered are only at the Minor Mystic Pill Realm middle stage.
Not a single one from the later stage.
An assessment like this isn't very interesting."
Da Di Daozhang was starting to get a bit carried away as he spoke to Ye Yunfei.
Right at that moment.
Suddenly.
ROAR...
Ahead, a six- or seven-meter-tall demonic wolf suddenly appeared. Its cold, bloodthirsty beast eyes locked onto Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
The strength of this demonic wolf was at the Minor Mystic Pill Realm later stage!
"You said it wasn't interesting.
Well, this should be interesting."
Ye Yunfei, standing to the side, made an inviting gesture toward Da Di Daozhang.
"This one isn't weak at all!"
Da Di Daozhang felt a slight tingle in his scalp.
"Fine, I'll try fighting it.
But Ye Yunfei, keep an eye out. If I can't beat it, you have to save me in time!"
Da Di Daozhang said through gritted teeth.
Then, his figure moved as he was about to charge toward that demonic wolf.
Suddenly.
ROAR...
Another nine demonic wolves shot out like lightning from a nearby valley, standing together with the first one. They all released rolling waves of demonic power and pressure, bearing down on Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang.
The strength of all ten demonic wolves was at the Minor Mystic Pill Realm later stage!
"So many demonic wolves!"
Da Di Daozhang was startled and hurriedly retreated, standing beside Ye Yunfei.
"Ten demonic beasts and monsters at the Minor Mystic Pill Realm later stage appearing simultaneously? An assessment like this is too difficult!"
Da Di Daozhang exclaimed.
"Indeed, the difficulty of such an assessment is a bit excessive. How many could possibly pass?"
Ye Yunfei also frowned lightly.
Of course, Ye Yunfei wasn't afraid of these ten demonic wolves. Ten later-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realms didn't amount to much for him.
Ye Yunfei felt that something seemed rather fishy.
Just then.
"Hmph!
Ant! Now you know your place!
Ten later-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm demonic wolves. Let's see how you handle this!"
At that moment, suddenly, eight figures rushed over rapidly from the distance and stopped nearby. Among them, a tall young woman snorted coldly.
This woman was none other than Liu Fei.
"Hahaha…
It's still safest following Miss Liu Fei. All the demonic beasts and monsters we encountered along the way fled in panic. We didn't even have to lift a finger!"
That blue-shirted youth laughed loudly.
"Miss Liu Fei, these ten demonic wolves' strength is extremely fearsome. Shouldn't we hurry and leave?"
A young man said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of?
With me here, these ten demonic wolves won't attack us!
We can just stand here and watch the show.
If you're scared, you can scram first."
Liu Fei said.
ROAR...
At this moment, those ten demonic wolves began encircling Ye Yunfei and Da Di Daozhang, emitting dangerous low growls, poised to attack at any moment.
"What's going on?!
These ten demonic wolves seem to have locked onto us!
They're standing right nearby, but the wolves looked straight through them!"
Da Di Daozhang said to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed, there's something odd."
Ye Yunfei looked at Liu Fei, a chill flashing in his eyes.
Ye Yunfei understood it was definitely this Liu Fei who had tampered with things!
"You ant! Now you know the consequence of provoking me!
I dare guarantee you won't be able to pass this second assessment!"
Liu Fei met Ye Yunfei's gaze and sneered.
"You two, just wait to be torn to pieces by these ten demonic wolves!
If you give up on the assessment, you'll lose any chance to become a student of the Heavenly Dao Academy!
How sweet it is!"
That blue-shirted youth gloated with a gleeful laugh.
