Time flies when you're focused on something. Before you know it, more than half a month has passed. With only a week left before the duel, Xu Jiaming and Wen Fei appeared at Chen Chongshan's courtyard.

However, they did not call Chen Chongshan to inform him before they arrived. Chen Chongshan only saw the two young masters happily sitting around a brazier of charcoal in his main room in the evening, warming some wine and drinking it comfortably.

On the small table, there were several bowls containing various kinds of meat, including bamboo rat meat, muntjac meat, bamboo chicken meat, and wild boar meat.

Aunt Peng's husband is the chef at Lao Qin's place, so her cooking is quite good. Several of the wild game dishes are delicious and visually appealing. Because Chen Chongming has a sweet tooth, and life isn't so difficult now, Chen Chongshan keeps some of the game he hunts at home for Chen Chongming to enjoy.

"Well, you guys have it easy. You've eaten all the good stuff I had in one meal."

Seeing the two people drinking with great relish, Chen Chongshan started shouting from the courtyard.

"Haha, you're finally back! Come on, have a drink with your brothers."

Upon seeing Chen Chongshan, Xu Jiaming and Wen Fei both burst into laughter.

Chen Chongshan was quite pleased with the arrival of Xu Jiaming and Wen Fei. Because of his family background, he had almost no friends, and his classmates had all gone out to study, so he had few contacts. Although Xu Jiaming and Wen Fei's family backgrounds were vastly different from Chen Chongshan's, this did not prevent them from becoming good friends.

Ah Huang excitedly ran into the main room. Although Wen Fei had given it some bad memories, after spending a long time together, Ah Huang had long forgotten those bad things. Moreover, Ah Huang still had a very good impression of Xu Jiaming.

Ah Huang excitedly circled around the two men a few times. Xu Jiaming picked up a piece of wild boar meat and fed it to Ah Huang, then nodded with great pleasure and praised, "Not bad, Chongshan, Ah Huang has recovered well."

"Looks like he's put in a lot of effort; this guy looks even more robust than before," Wen Fei nodded with a smile.

"Come, come, this is great news, let's have a big toast."

Xu Jiaming laughed heartily, raised his glass, and clinked it with Wen Fei's.

"Hey, you guys are drinking my food and eating my food, but you didn't wait for me. What's the meaning of this?" Chen Chongshan said with dissatisfaction.

Xu Jiaming shook his head and said to Wen Fei, "Afei, which do you think is more interesting, wild boar meat or muntjac meat?"

"They're all interesting, they're all interesting."

Wenfei shook his head: "The wild game cooked by the local cooks is really flavorful. Stir-fried with red chili peppers, without any seasoning, just the original taste, interesting... very interesting."

"Two drunkards."

Chen Chongshan replied irritably, then waved a burlap sack in his hand: "I have something even more interesting here, do you want it?"

"Something even more interesting?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaming and Wen Fei's eyes lit up, and they both looked over: "What good stuff is it? Take it out and let us see."

"Mountain delicacies!"

Chen Chongshan smiled and said, then walked towards the kitchen. Aunt Peng was busy in the kitchen, while Chen Chongming was asleep in the inner room.

"Aunt Peng, there are some pine mushrooms here. Could you please make a soup with some lean meat? They've probably had quite a bit to drink, so some soup will help warm their stomachs."

Chen Chongshan emptied the contents of the sack into a vegetable basin, and then said to Aunt Peng.

"Oh my, this is good stuff."

Upon seeing the half-filled basin of pine mushrooms, Aunt Peng exclaimed in surprise, then said, "Okay, I know how to make this. Wait a moment."

"Okay." Chen Chongshan smiled and then went back into the main room.

"Come on, Chongshan, have a drink."

Upon seeing Chen Chongshan enter, Xu Jiaming greeted him. Chen Chongshan smiled and sat down as well.

"Chongshan, is Ah Huang alright now?"

Xu Jiaming glanced at Ah Huang, who was watching them from the side, and asked Chen Chongshan.

“There are no problems at all. It can take on a wild boar weighing around 130 pounds by itself.”

Chen Chongshan answered with a smile.

"Really? A wild boar weighing 130 pounds, that's no small creature!" Wen Fei asked in surprise.

Chen Chongshan smiled and replied, "It happened a few days ago. I was putting away the traps when it caught up with the wild boar. By the time I got there, it had completely subdued the boar and was just waiting for me to finish it off."

"Holy crap, this is amazing."

Wen Fei immediately praised him repeatedly, and Xu Jiaming also seemed extremely excited. He picked up his wine glass and shouted, "Haha, well done! This time, we'll take down that guy!"

"Okay, let's take that guy down."

Wenfei smiled and nodded, finishing his drink. After a moment of silence, the two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"What's going on? Why do you all have such strange expressions?"

Looking at these two strange people, Chen Chongshan asked with some confusion.

“Chongshan, we’ve also been gathering information on that guy lately. Liao Bin and his group are quite well-known on an adventurer/hunter arena platform,” Wen Fei said slowly, his expression turning serious.

"An adventurer/hunter arena platform?"

Chen Chongshan looked at Wen Fei with some doubt.

"It's a team that explores various primeval forests and dangerous places."

Xu Jiaming offered an explanation, then took out his phone and handed it to Chen Chongshan: "They don't care what they do, take a look at this first."

"Hmm?" Chen Chongshan took Xu Jiaming's phone with some confusion. After opening it, he found a video file showing a dog fighting a black bear.

Chen Chongshan immediately recognized that the dog was the demon king who was about to fight Ah Huang, while the black bear was smaller than the one that was fighting Ah Huang. The video file was not long, only about ten minutes long, and Chen Chongshan watched it intently from beginning to end. The video showed the battle from start to finish.

The battle between the Demon King and the black bear proceeded extremely quickly. It seemed to know the black bear's weaknesses perfectly. It was incredibly fast, and its attacks were full of power. It attacked back and forth, trying its best to provoke the black bear. When the black bear was so enraged that it stood up, the Demon King suddenly retreated and then accelerated, charging directly at the black bear.

The attack was powerful, and the Demon King's explosive force was extremely strong. In that instant, it unleashed an incomparably powerful force. The black bear, which was already unsteady on its feet, was directly knocked to the ground by the Demon King.

The Demon King gave it no chance, biting the black bear's neck and then swinging it wildly, its body nimbly dodging the bear's flailing paws. The bear's throat was firmly restrained, and it quickly lost its fighting ability, finally dying under the Demon King's teeth.
