Villain: Don't play cards according to the plot, and the heroine who quits the marriage at the

“So, you're Chu Fan?”

“I heard you said all of us outer sect disciples are trash?”

The leading brocade-clad youth stared at Chu Fan with a sinister smile on his face.

“Isn't it the truth?”

Surrounded by twelve young men and women with considerable auras, Chu Fan was not flustered but instead sneered.

“You dare to be stubborn when you're about to die!”

The brocade-clad youth's expression turned gloomy; he didn't expect Chu Fan to be so arrogant at this time!

Chu Fan said, “What? Are you planning to violate the assessment rules and attack me?”

“The assessment rules only prohibit mutual killing; it's fine as long as we don't kill you.”

The brocade-clad youth grinned, “Go! Break his legs and teach him a lesson! Watch out for his storage ring; don't damage the Earth Essence!”

“You want to snatch my Earth Essence?”

Chu Fan's expression also turned gloomy, and he was so angry that he laughed, “You guys have some nerve. Aren't you afraid of provoking someone you can't afford to, bringing disaster upon yourselves?”

“Can't afford to provoke?”

The brocade-clad youth sneered, “Among the outer sect disciples, besides Su Chen, Young Master Su, there's no one I can't afford to provoke. What are you?”

“Hit him!”

The brocade-clad youth was named Lin Ye. The Lin family behind him was a top family in the Heavenly Spirit Dynasty, second only to the three great families!

“Su Chen, it's Su Chen again!”

A trace of cold light flashed in Chu Fan's eyes, and he felt inexplicably irritable, giving rise to a murderous intent.

It would have been fine if they had just insulted him, but they even used Su Chen to compare him negatively, which made Chu Fan very unhappy.

“Whether it's you or Su Chen, you will pay the price!”

Chu Fan's eyes were fierce, and an ancient sword appeared in his hand as he engaged in battle with the twelve young men and women!

——

Just as Chu Fan was being held back, Su Chen and Xia Qiuyue had already arrived at the Blackwater River.

The river surged, but the water strangely appeared black.

“Beyond the Blackwater River lies the habitat of Rank 4 fierce beasts. Enter at your own risk!”

A sign stood by the river, with scarlet words issuing a warning.

“Wait!”

“You're not thinking of hunting Rank 4 fierce beasts, are you?”

Xia Qiuyue reacted at this moment and was immediately startled.

Su Chen nodded frankly.

Although Yun Qianxue didn't explicitly say how many points could be obtained by killing a Rank 4 fierce beast,

according to the original plot, Chu Fan killed a Rank 4 fierce beast and ultimately obtained a million points, leaving everyone else in the outer sect in the dust!

“But you're only at the third level of the Guiyuan Realm. Can you defeat a Rank 4 fierce beast?”

Xia Qiuyue was a little worried.

Although she had seen Su Chen instantly kill three Guiyuan Realm ninth-level experts with one strike,

Rank 4 fierce beasts were no joke. Even if it was only at the first level of the Xuanling Realm, it was far more than ten times stronger than the Guiyuan Realm ninth level!

“How would I know if I don't try?”

Su Chen shrugged.

“It's still too dangerous…”

“Then do you want to go with me?”

“Yes!”

Thus, Xia Qiuyue followed Su Chen across the Blackwater River with a mix of nervousness and excitement.

Thinking about it, it was quite thrilling!

“These two little fellows are really bold!”

In the sky above the Black Beast Mountain Range, a group of elders couldn't help but sigh.

Under their gaze, Su Chen and Xia Qiuyue quietly moved forward, winding east and west, eventually arriving at a cliff.

An elder said, “They avoided several Rank 4 fierce beast territories along the way. Their luck is pretty good.”

“Something's not quite right.

Why do I feel like Su Chen seems very familiar with this place?”

Another elder revealed a surprised expression.

Previously, Su Chen had been moving forward in a straight line, but after crossing the Blackwater River, he began to detour, avoiding all the Rank 4 fierce beast territories along the way, which could no longer be explained by coincidence.

“Stinky Su Chen, there's no road ahead.”

Xia Qiuyue was a little regretful. The journey had been too smooth, and they hadn't encountered a single Rank 4 fierce beast.

“Go down.”

“Ah?”

Before Xia Qiuyue could react, Su Chen put his arm around her slender waist, which felt soft and had a very good texture.

Su Chen used the Phantom Step, rapidly descending towards the bottom of the cliff along the shrubs and rocks.

“Stinky Su Chen, you're taking advantage of me again!”

“I'll remember this!”

Xia Qiuyue struggled slightly and rolled her eyes at Su Chen.

Perhaps it was because Su Chen had saved her, or perhaps it was because Su Chen was too handsome, Xia Qiuyue didn't resist much in her heart, but instead had a strange feeling.

Only Yun Qianxue, hidden in the back, gritted her teeth and stared at Su Chen with an unkind expression.

“The cliff is too deep. With your cultivation, it would be troublesome to come down. Staying above, you might encounter Rank 4 fierce beasts. This is the only way.”

Su Chen explained in a serious manner.

“Why go to so much trouble to run to the bottom of the cliff?”

Xia Qiuyue was very puzzled.

“You'll know soon.”

Su Chen smiled mysteriously.

This cliff was actually more than five hundred zhang deep. The Guiyuan Realm was still unable to fly, and Su Chen also spent some effort to descend to the bottom of the cliff.

The bottom of the cliff was filled with gray mist, miasma, and a harsh environment.

Su Chen handed a medicinal pill to Xia Qiuyue: “A Clear Mind Pill, which can resist the erosion of miasma.”

“Eh???”

Seeing that Su Chen had even prepared the Clear Mind Pill in advance, Xia Qiuyue realized that something was wrong no matter how foolish she was.

The Black Beast Mountain Range was the Heavenly Spirit Academy's training ground, and outsiders couldn't enter. How could this guy be so familiar with this place?

Su Chen carefully searched under the cliff filled with miasma and dead leaves, and soon dug out a crystal clear snow lotus from under a tree root.

“A Rank 5 spiritual herb, a Xuan Jade Snow Lotus!”

Xia Qiuyue's small mouth was slightly open, and she was really shocked.

Although the Xuan Jade Snow Lotus was a Rank 5 spiritual herb, its actual value was no weaker than a Rank 6 spiritual herb.

Because it could be directly refined, quickly increasing cultivation, repairing injuries, and without any side effects!

How could there be a Xuan Jade Snow Lotus in this godforsaken mountain corner?

How did Su Chen know?

“This…”

Not only Xia Qiuyue, but Yun Qianxue and a group of elders were also dumbfounded and greatly surprised!

The Black Beast Mountain Range was the territory of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, but no one could have imagined that such a precious spiritual herb would grow at the bottom of the cliff with miasma!

[Ding, the host has preemptively intercepted the Xuan Jade Snow Lotus, the plot has changed, and the son of destiny Chu Fan's luck has been damaged, gaining 2000 points of luck.]

The system prompt sounded as expected, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Su Chen's mouth.

This was, after all, a fantasy novel world, and Su Chen, familiar with the plot, could naturally be one step ahead!
