Sword Tomb
Xue Bai, while he was definitely an unrestrained child, couldn't be regarded as shameless. However, this man was a truly shameless fellow.
He had ordered a volley of arrows to either kill Xue Bai or force him away from the 500-point jaguar. Either way, those arrows had no hint of the assistance that the calm youth spoke of.
And obviously not liking the answer, Xue Bai sent an arrow loose to express his displeasure.
The calm youth, expecting such a response, didn't react much but merely brought out his sword to deflect the purple-hued arrow. However, to his shock, his Peak Yellow Grade sword was pierced in two by the arrow, leaving him defenseless.
Finally dropping his calm exterior, the youth forced himself to duck and used his left leg to swipe out his right, dropping himself like a sack of rock and narrowly avoiding the Space Element-infused arrow.
However, an archer behind him wasn't as quick to react to the threat, and by having his leader block what happened in front of him, he had a hole pierced through his torso.
And now, with a fist-sized hole in him, while unwilling and confused, the archer quickly fell over after spurting some blood from his now eight orifices, where he soon died.
The arrow would also continue on its course, going through two trees before losing strength and crumbling. It was, after all, only made from some Low Yellow Grade materials, nothing special.
While Xue Bai's Space Element gave it the penetrative power of something far beyond its rank, the arrow's weak composition couldn't last after going through 4 much stronger bodies.
Giving a whistle of praise, Xue Bai felt somewhat astonished at the youth's quick thinking and execution.
"You've got a nice head on your shoulder, brother. Do you want to throw your life away for a mere 500 points that have already been claimed?" Xue Bai calmly spoke while notching another arrow.
Now revealing a much nastier and aggressive face, much more menacing than the rough leader, the youth angrily wiped his robe clean and fixed his hair once more.
"Xue Bai, are you so idiotic to use such a powerful treasure for a meaningless sneak attack!" The youth angrily yelled, "You can't have many more of those. And you've already wasted one."
Still not liking the man's attitude, Xue Bai sent another arrow flying, this time at the rough leader.
The time around, no one dared to take the arrow head-on, and they all jumped away, not letting it hit them. However, to their embarrassment, this time, after missing everyone, the arrow anticlimactically pierced into a tree, showing none of the penetrative power that the first one possessed.
"You 11 have high potential to be great dogs." Xue Bai mocked. "I only just made the command, and you all rolled on the mud before I even told you to. It seems like you must've been one in one of your previous lives."
And while the insult hit them hard, making them feel extremely embarrassed, they all realized something from their interaction with Xue Bai.
He was a hard nut to crack. And with that strange suppressive force around him, they weren't sure if they could force anything out of the Young Duke.
The leaders sensing this knew that they should accept their loss, and after collecting the youth's dead corpse, they left as quickly as they appeared.
"Xue Bai! This isn't over!" The leader threatened, obviously not convinced by the latter's abilities.
In his mind, if it weren't for the strange force around Xue Bai, he would have been a soft persimmon, something they could do anything they liked to.
Once again, not bothering to respond, Xue Bai sent another arrow flying into the shrubbery, where they disappeared.
"AGHHH! MY ARM!"
*THUD*
And after hearing a scream and the sound of a body dropping, Xue Bai felt satisfied.
"Double Kill!" Xue Bai muttered, pleased with his accuracy.
"But I wonder who those were? That green tea bastard looked like someone important. His sword is even better than mine." Xue Bai thought aloud as he collected his formation flags.
While Fire Breath was an excellent weapon, it still was only a pseudo-Peak Yellow Grade weapon. The only reason Xue Bai used it was for the Fire Element amplification that it gave.
If not for that, Xue Bai would simply ask his Father for a Peak Yellow Grade sword as well. The difference that one rank made mattered a lot.

Having a sword one rank higher would allow you to break your opponent's weapon much faster than simply clashing with weapons of the same rank.
But since Fire Breath compliments his Fire Element so well, it being slightly weaker and less durable than a Peak Yellow Grade sword was worth it.
However, it didn't matter much at the end of the day. That green tea youth's strength didn't give Xue Bai any threat, no matter how rich he was. And his background was even less of something to worry about.
If he were the son of an Elder or someone else high up in the sect, he would've been able to join the sect without this trial. So his family couldn't have anyone stronger than Xue Feng or Li Rou.
"Well, enough of that." Xue Bai muttered softly. "Onto the next beast."
The night was still young, and Xue Bai only had 900 points, which could only be in the middle of the pack for this trial. The sun had only set for an hour so far, so Xue Bai still had another 10 hours until the morning. And at the rate he had found and killed the jaguar, Xue Bai estimated he could kill another 7-8 demonic beasts in the Organ Tempering Realm.
So after cleaning up his traces, Xue Bai did just that.
His first target after the jaguar was a lucky break compared to his first. It was a snake demonic beast in the Middle stages of the Organt Tempering Realm, who lived in a somewhat shallow lake pond that left it half bathing in the sun. So instead of having to lure the snake out of its habitat and into his gravity array formation, Xue Bai simply built it around the lake.
And as he expected, the snake only groggily watched Xue Bai from afar, not expecting that Xue Bai was setting up a formation able to kill it. The snake didn't disturb Xue Bai during the entire process since it was an entire Realm above Xue Bai, it was so arrogant that it was even to the point where it didn't even deem him a threat.
After the gravity field array formation was set up, the snake, no matter how regretful and unwilling, soon became fish on the chopping block to Xue Bai. And quickly claiming the 750 points, Xue Bai's point total soon became 1650.
The next two demonic beasts, while not as easy as the snake, were much simpler than the jaguar, with neither burning their Blood Essence until they were detained in the gravity field.
However, their reactions were a little too late, and once again, after killing them, Xue Bai happily claimed another 1000 points.
But while he searched for his fifth beast to hunt, Xue Bai found something interesting.
A few hundred meters out from the core of the Soaring Sword Sect's hunting grounds where the Qi Sea Realm demonic beasts lived, two large groups of participants were grouped up discussing something.
Curious Xue Bai, while he didn't reveal himself, got close enough to hear their conversation.
"Ye Xuan, are those rumors true?" A cold voice sounded out from the mass of youths.
The speaker was the leader of one of the two groups and was a tall, rough, masculine-looking young man. With tanned skin and standing over two meters tall, the man was practically a giant. Just the pressure he subconsciously gave up pressured the weaker members of the group.
His cultivation was weak either, as, from the myriad of auras exuding from his group, his was the strongest.
"Shi Tian, you know my older brother is in the Inner Sect. So how could he be wrong?" Another voice replied sarcastically.
The person who answered seemed to be the leader of the second group. However, this youth, unlike Shi Tian, had an average build with a slightly above appearance. But it was obvious that he cared too much about his appearance as there was a distinct layer of makeup on it.
However, unlike his self-consciousness about his appearance, his cultivation was just as profound as the burly man named Shi Tian.
"So where is that Sword Tomb located then? The core region is more than 5 kilometers in surface area. And we can't even search every part as some are guarded by Peak stage Qi Sea demonic beasts." Shi Tian asked as he crossed his arms.
"This rumor has been around for ages, and while they haven't found it, my elder brother has a map of what has been searched. And currently, they have searched more than 80% of the core region." Ye Xuan calmly explained as he pulled out a map, "If we play our cards right, we can find it today."
Taking the map from Ye Xuan, Shi Tian easily found Ye Xuan's to be true, as the map was red in more than 80% of it. However, whether this map was even of the core region or if this Sword Tomb was true, Shi Tian didn't know.
"Fine, my Shi Clan and I will assist you. But our groups will fight once the Sword Tomb is found." Shi Tian strongly replied as he pocketed the map.
"Naturally!" Ye Xuan's eyes glowed as Shi Tian agreed, but no one was truly sure of what his excitement truly meant.
And after shaking their hands in agreement, the large group separated into two before disappearing into the core region.
Up in the tree, overhearing the conversation, Xue Bai was somewhat intrigued.
"I'll follow that Ye Xuan. He's lying about something." Xue Bai muttered softly before continuing to stalk the average-looking man.
