Several giant beasts engulfed in flames slowly emerged from the snow in the distance, their eyes fixed menacingly on the campfire in front of Guan Wen.

Intense flames flickered around those giant beasts, and the aura emanating from them was even more powerful than that of the white giant beasts they had seen before.

If the previous behemoth was a second-tier behemoth, then this behemoth is now roughly a third-tier behemoth.

They were a level below each other and came in large groups, so their combat power was definitely much stronger than those white behemoths. Guan Wen dared not underestimate them and immediately moved away into the distance.

The giant beasts, their bodies wreathed in flames, were taken aback by the sight. They hadn't expected Guan Wen to run so fast. After a moment of hesitation, they charged toward Guan Wen, whose speed was clearly faster than that of the beasts.

After creating a distance of forty or fifty meters from the giant beasts, Guan Wen activated the Fiery Whip. The Fiery Whip instantly grew to more than two hundred meters in length. From forty or fifty meters away, he swung the Fiery Whip and struck the bodies of the giant beasts that were emitting flames.

Bang! Bang!

Although both the Fire Whip and those giant beasts were of the fire attribute, the Fire Whip's power was still fully displayed, instantly tearing the skin off those giant beasts and then splitting their bodies in two.

Several giant beasts formed a group, but under Guan Wen's abnormal attacks, almost none of them could get close to him, and they all fell during their charge.

After they were defeated, the flames on the surface of those giant beasts disappeared.

Guan Wen approached them, peeled off their fur, and, based on his previous experience, opened their chests. Sure enough, he found the magic cores of these giant beasts. However, after taking out the magic cores, he was surprised to find that the magic cores inside these fire giant beasts were actually of the ice attribute.

Completely different from their fiery appearance.

This is incredibly strange. The snow-white behemoth has a fire-attribute magic core, while these fire behemoths have ice-attribute magic cores inside them. These two types of magic cores are completely different from their appearance.

After extracting all the ice-attribute magic cores, he amplified them, then cut off a portion of the meat from these giant beasts, using their hides to make pockets, and the rest to make clothes to wear for warmth.

Over the next two days, he continued down the mountain, encountering white behemoths and fire behemoths along the way. With his previous combat experience, Guan Wen always kept a certain distance and used his two-hundred-meter-long flame whip to strike them, thus remaining unharmed each time.

Over the course of two days, Guan Wen had accumulated quite a few magic cores of both attributes. He consumed some of the fire magic cores himself and kept the rest in his pocket. As for the ice magic cores, after Guan Wen amplified them, he threw them all into his pocket, intending to take them back and sell them. The energy in these magic cores was even higher than that in the fire magic cores.

Therefore, it can be sold for a good price.

Three whole days passed, and Guan Wen still hadn't found the other person's mouth, so he decided to give up.

Because he had been traveling for the past few days, he had encountered many battles along the way, but they had no effect on him at all, as he could devour enough magic cores.

Because he was busy fighting and traveling, he didn't practice his cultivation techniques much, and his level, including the Crimson Dragon Break, didn't improve.

For the next four days, he stayed in the forest and began to cultivate diligently, working overtime.

After cultivating for a few days, he successfully broke through to level 24.

On the last day, just before leaving, I broke through to level 25.

This surprised him greatly, since he had only broken through one level in seven days before, but this time he broke through two levels in four days of cultivation.

This was clearly an unexpected surprise.

Although he was pleasantly surprised, he was still not very satisfied. After all, he used to be able to break through to level 5 every time he came here before. At this snail's pace, when would he be able to become a level 100 expert?

Of course, if others knew about his thoughts, they would definitely vomit blood on the spot. Each time he enters the Tower of All Heavens, he can level up by two levels, and he can still level up like this after reaching level 20. This is simply unimaginable for ordinary people. And you are still not satisfied.

The seventh day arrived quickly. He left the world of high mountains and white snow, and after returning to his small room, he still chose to preserve it.

Although this world lacks markets or similar places where one can exchange for powerful resources, and the environment is quite cold and harsh, he is completely captivated by the mountain giants. Therefore, he will not leave until he understands what these mountain giants are all about.

Anyway, my strength can be improved smoothly here, so I'll just treat it as an adventure.

The next morning, when Guan Wen arrived at school, he was surprised to find that everyone was quiet, not chatting or bragging. When Guan Wen walked in, the silence almost turned into a sense of oppression. Guan Wen found this very strange, and Cui Hong explained to him, "These people are afraid of you now."

"Afraid of me?" Guan Wen seemed quite puzzled by Cui Hong's words. Although he had been a bit ruthless in the dueling arena, these guys hadn't challenged him, so why should he be afraid of him?

"You gave Ye Fengyue a good beating last time, it was so impressive! These guys looked down on you before, how could they not be afraid of you now?"

"But you should also be careful, some people in the class are afraid of you and some people hate you."

“Hate me? Ye Fengyue?” Guan Wen sneered upon hearing Cui Hong’s words.

"Besides him, there's also Han Wei."

"Han Wei?"

"That's right, you injured Ye Fengyue, who is the man she loves. How could she not hate you?"

"Let them hate me if they want. I'll take them on one by one, or two by two!" Guan Wen chuckled. Although he had made enemies with Ye Fengyue and the others, he was not afraid at all.

After all, they were in the wrong from the start. It was their contempt that led to the challenge, which eventually led them to the dueling arena, where they were soundly beaten up.

As the saying goes, "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be forgiven." He started the trouble and got beaten up; who can he blame but himself?

He's not afraid of getting revenge. He held back more than one trick up his sleeve back in the dueling arena, and he still feels like he hasn't had enough of the fight.

"Don't worry, no one will dare to retaliate against you. I heard that the teacher knows about you too. You've become a key target in the teacher's mind, a key elite in the key class. Who would dare to lay a hand on you?"

Cui Hong comforted Guan Wen, who nodded in agreement.

The morning self-study session was about to begin, but before everyone could even take out their books, their homeroom teacher, Lin Yue, walked in.
