Stop It!

The man who had reached the Nascent Soul stage had an extraordinary identity. He was none other than Yang Ming, the Crown Prince of the Zhan Wu Kingdom!

The martial arts tournament held by the kingdom this time was not prepared by his father, the king, but rather at Yang Ming's own request. Upon breaking through to the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, his birthday was approaching. When his father asked what gift he wanted, he requested a martial arts tournament. Confident in his new level of cultivation, he was certain he would secure first place. For him, the first place was a gift he had prepared for himself, and it was also a chance to show off.

However, he didn't expect that the prime minister's only son, who had been traveling outside for a long time, would return, also having broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and joining Tian Laichi's team. This put pressure on him.

Therefore, today he brought his team out for training. His team was strong, with everyone except him being in the late or peak stages of the Core Formation stage. They had been training in the vicinity for several hours when they felt a tremendous pressure emanating from the depths of the demon beast mountain range. Curious about what kind of treasure might be causing the disturbance, they moved towards it, only to encounter a demon beast.

Unexpectedly, this demon beast was at the Out-of-Body stage! As soon as they arrived, they ran into this beast, scaring them nearly to death.

Now, their path was blocked, and they were filled with despair. The gap between them and the Out-of-Body stage demon beast was like heaven and earth. Yang Ming felt extremely miserable. If he had known, he wouldn't have come here for training! If they hadn't been greedy and come here, they wouldn't be in this situation now. With his birthday approaching, he feared he wouldn't live to see it.

Just when they were in despair, they saw someone rapidly approaching them — a young man at the first level of the Core Formation stage. Yang Ming and his team wore strange expressions. It was their first time seeing someone so eager to die. Even stranger was the look of excitement on the young man's face.

Indeed, Chen Pingan was very excited. He noticed this demon beast was larger than the ones he had encountered before and that there were people nearby. He wasn't sure if he could defeat this demon beast alone, but with others around, he thought they might be able to take it down together.

Just as he had this thought, he heard a shout from ahead.

"Kid, run quickly!" Yang Ming yelled, hoping to warn Chen Pingan.

However, Chen Pingan misunderstood. Thinking they were telling him to come quickly, he shouted back, "Alright! I'm coming!" and sped up.

Yang Ming was stunned. Was this guy an idiot? I told him to run, not to come here!

The demon beast, a red-furred wolf, watched Chen Pingan with disdain but didn't attack Yang Ming's group, seemingly waiting for Chen Pingan to arrive. Yang Ming quickly made a plan with his team to scatter and escape once Chen Pingan arrived. They hoped to use the confusion to survive.

Chen Pingan finally arrived, and they saw a black dog following him, matching his speed despite lacking any visible cultivation. Just as they were about to execute their plan, the red wolf moved, charging towards them at terrifying speed.

"Is this the end?" Yang Ming thought in fear. The wolf was upon them in an instant, but just when they braced for death, Chen Pingan's shout surprised them.

"Damn it! Stop it! Don't let it escape!" Chen Pingan had seen the wolf preparing to flee and thought Yang Ming's team could block it. But the wolf dashed past them with incredible speed, fleeing in a panic.

Yang Ming's team was left bewildered. Chen Pingan chased after the wolf but soon realized he couldn't catch up. Frustrated, he complained about the cowardly demon beasts in the mountain range and returned to Yang Ming's group.

Yang Ming and his team were still there, now staring at Chen Pingan as if he were a fearsome monster.
