Chapter 100
Chapter 100 - Hunting (Part Three)
When Teng Yu appeared, the youths who wanted to run away could not stay still for even a moment.
Teng Yu walked towards Cao Zemin step by step, his gaze landing on his blood-stained clothes. The sharp arrow with white feathers was not used by him or Yin Xu.
“Who did this?” Teng Yu asked emotionlessly.
A few innocent youngsters thought that they had found a savior, and hurriedly told Yin Xu, “It was Huo Tian who did it! He even used fire on us! “
As he spoke, all of them revealed the burn wounds on their bodies.
“Oh.” Teng Yu remained expressionless. He swept his eyes across the youths present and memorized their faces before walking over to Cao Zhiming.
His eyes were dark and fierce. Unfortunately, the crowd's backs were facing him, so he didn't see them. The only person he saw was his eyes glazed over from the loss of too much blood.
He grabbed the arrow on Cao Zhiming's shoulder and pushed it into Cao Zhiming's flesh. Hearing the man's high-pitched scream, he said in a deep voice, “Why are you not carrying him down the mountain? Are you going to watch him die from his blood?”
All of the teenagers felt pain just from hearing the screams. Their hairs were all standing on end, how could they dare to stay here any longer. The two older students rushed over to help Cao Zhiming onto his horse, and then left without stopping.
“Wait!” Teng Yu suddenly spoke out, causing everyone to stop and wait for him to speak.
How strange, this was clearly not the first time they saw this Third Prince, why didn't they feel that he had a temperament that no one could refute?
Could this be the so-called imperial prestige? Natural?
Teng Yu did not care what they thought, “Leave their prey behind, since we've lost, we should have the awareness of a loser!”
All the youngsters looked at each other. You didn't want to hand over the fruits of your labour, so when they returned, it was clear that they had lost. However, if they didn't even bring back some of their prey, then they would lose face.
Not to mention their family members wouldn't let them off, even they themselves wouldn't have the face to stay in the circle anymore.
However, they had indeed lost just now, and losing was also a matter of face.
“Third Prince, I wonder if I can use silver to redeem my prey?” A teenager wearing a mink hat asked with a red face.
Teng Yu counted the prey on their hands and nodded very straightforwardly, “Alright, one point one hundred silver. Those who are willing to leave with the banknotes and the items, those who are unwilling to leave with their prey.”
The so-called point was calculated based on the smallest prey. No matter how he looked at it, he had already made a killing.
With a good start, all young men who cared about face were willing to spend the money. Even those who had less would have a discount. Buying a portion of the prey was at least better than going back empty-handed.
The transaction was completed very quickly. When these youths walked far away, Teng Yu took out his handkerchief and wiped off the blood on his chest.
He threw the handkerchief away and pushed the prey onto the horse's back with his cloak.
The pitiful horse raised its hooves and whinnied a few times due to its heavy burden being displeased, and it was slapped twice by Teng Yu before it calmed down.
Teng Yu walked to Yin Xu's side and sat down next to him. He first stuffed the silver bills he had collected back to him, then spread out a bag of wild fruits in front of him.
As a prince who knew how to stealthily learn how to roast meat when he was young, he naturally didn't know how to distinguish the practicality of wild fruits.
In order to avoid being like Yin Xu who would pick things that couldn't be eaten, he would have to pick one every time he saw one.
He was lucky that he did not run into any poisons along the way. Otherwise, a prince like him would have died from the poison from picking fruits for his lover.
I don't know if such an ending can lead to a sob story.
Yin Xu first counted the silver bills and realized that he had not lost out in this fight, hence he made a small fortune.
After keeping the silver, Yin Xu then picked out a bright red fruit from Teng Yu's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating three of them in a row, he stopped and pointed at the dirty food on the ground. “Your lunch is gone. Can I roast another one for you?”
“You will?” Teng Yu was a little surprised. Judging from Yin Xu's usual actions, this was definitely a young master who didn't touch the Yang Spring Water at all.
In many ways, this youth was even more particular than the genuine, a royal grandson. Even if he wasn't Huo Tian, he definitely wasn't someone who came from a normal background.
Yin Xu shook his head and replied bluntly: “I won't, but based on your actions just now, it shouldn't be difficult.”
Teng Yu hurriedly spread the wild fruits on the ground and ran over to pick up a new wild rabbit.
Yin Xu rolled up his sleeves, sharpened a branch and strung the meat up, then got Teng Yu to help him light a fire.
They still had a lot of firewood that they had just gathered, so Teng Yu picked out a few dried up branches to light the fire.
Yin Xu saw him take out a fire piston and was about to light it, an idea came to his mind, “Wait a moment.”
“What's wrong?” Teng Yu turned to look at him.
“Didn't your Flame Yang Spell already reach the second layer's middle stage?” Seeing the other party nod his head, Yin Xu said excitedly: “Then try using the Flame Yang Spell and see if you can release the fire.”
When he was sparring with the Dark Guard, he realized that his Flame Yang Spell could release a layer of blue flames on his fist. He sat up straight and prepared to show Yin Xu his ability.
Perhaps the other party would be willing to bow down to his might just because he was shocked.
Clenching his right hand, he channeled his internal force to guide it to his fist. Then, with a loud roar, he violently threw his fist at the pile of firewood.
With a “peng” sound, the firewood was smashed into pieces and scattered everywhere. The original location of the pile of firewood was left with a huge pit. Inside the pit was a circle of charred black that emitted smoke but no flames.
The corner of Yin Xu's mouth twitched, his head full of black lines. “I only told you to light the fire, not burn the mountain, why are you using so much strength?”
At first, Teng Yu was rather proud of the power of his punch, but after hearing Yin Xu's words, his hot blood went cold again, and he said without any embarrassment: “Sorry, sorry, I couldn't control my power right now.”
He quickly made another pile of firewood, but this time he was in a difficult position. If he didn't use force, how could he ignite the flame? But with a bit of strength, this pile of firewood would definitely be wasted.
He stared at his fist for a long time, unable to come up with a clue.
Yin Xu held the raw meat in front of him and asked impatiently, “Do you still want to eat it?”
Teng Yu thought: It's all because of your request, right now I can't even start a fire, there's nothing to eat even if I want to.
Yin Xu took out the fire piston from his travel bag, then pushed Teng Yu to the side, “Slowly think about it, I'll do it myself.”
After lighting up the fire, Yin Xu set up a shelf above the fire, and placed the meat on it, waiting for the color of the branch to change after it had been roasted close to the fire.
Since they didn't bring any seasonings with them, their meal could only eat tasteless roasted meat. It was rather unpalatable, but the meat was still fresh, so the roasted meat could also be eaten.
In the end, it was Yin Xu's first time doing this, and his movements looked proficient, but in truth, the grilled meat was either burnt or not cooked yet, and his face was as calm as water, making people not easy to laugh at.
Moreover, someone who was immersed in martial arts did not have the mood to laugh at him.
Teng Yu threw a punch into the air, causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly rise a little. But that was all there was to it;
He discovered that flames would only appear on his fist after he had attacked with all his might. Strangely, the Flame Yang Spell that all the Huo Family people he had seen use did not have any flames, but when that fist landed on a person's body, it indeed charred them black.
He knew that it was definitely because Yin Xu had improved this technique before.
He picked up a branch from the ground and held it in his hand. Then, he tried to condense his internal force into the palm of his hand. With a strong grip, the branch in his hand immediately turned into ash and fell to the ground.
A hand took a broken branch from right under his nose. Teng Yu looked over, and saw that the young man was also holding a branch in his hand.
Teng Yu saw the other party blow on his palm, then rolled his eyes at him and continued to roast his flesh.
Being looked down upon, Teng Yu thought.
Time and again, he tried to light a branch instead of destroying it, controlling his strength bit by bit, like a woman's embroidery. He was extremely patient.
However, after trying a dozen times, he still couldn't succeed. If he tried too hard, there would be no effect at all. It was just like taking a breath of warm air, only warming his palms, if he tried too hard, it would still be a devastating blow, leaving nothing behind but dregs.
Until a roasted rabbit was handed over to him, Teng Yu did not succeed, he only had a faint feeling of comprehension. Unfortunately, that feeling was too ethereal, and he did not manage to grab hold of it.
Teng Yu lowered his head and received the miserably roasted meat, trying to take a bite. He discovered that it was not bad, the meat was a little burnt and the texture was a little old, but the skin was very crispy and he ate half of it before stopping.
“Come here.” Yin Xu waved towards Teng Yu, who had finished eating and was deep in thought.
Teng Yu moved to his side, tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into Yin Xu's mouth, “Taste your cooking. Your talent is not bad, this is the first time you have reached this level of arrogance.”
Yin Xu chewed it twice before spitting it out. Compared to the meat that Teng Yu had roasted, the one he had roasted was simply poison.
The pitiful Teng Yu was actually still able to produce such a delicious sight.
He held Teng Yu's right wrist, looked at his palm that had been blackened by charcoal, raised one of his fingers and said: “Try condensing your internal energy on your finger.”
Teng Yu did as he was told. As the filled inner strength flowed through his body, he could clearly feel the hot air in his body flowing along his meridians, converging on the tip of his index finger.
However, this finger was burning in pain, as if it was being placed in a firepower fire.
He stared at the tips of his fingers. He felt like something was about to burst out, but it lacked a little bit of strength.
“I've heard that there is a finger art in the martial arts world that can point the acupoints in the air and kill people in the air. It is considered an absolute art, but I have a feeling right now that this finger of mine has this ability.”
He lightly tapped his finger on a piece of firewood and saw that the finger was easily inserted into the hard wood, as if he had just inserted a piece of tofu.
Yin Xu grabbed his wrist again, “Did I let you move? “Again!”
Teng Yu laughed, went close to his face and kissed, then obediently continued with his previous steps.
Yin Xu asked him a few questions, then taught him a mnemonic chant, “Try and see if you can use this incantation.”
Teng Yu recited it once in his heart, he did not know the effects of the chant, but with such a short duration, such a simple chant, it should not be a big move.
He closed his eyes and applied the contents of the chants to his body. He felt something break through his index finger. He opened his eyes and a flame flickered before his eyes and then disappeared.
“This …”
Yin Xu rubbed his chin as he watched this scene, his heart slightly moved.
He had tried it in the very beginning, but he simply could not use the most basic water and fire attracting arts of Cultivation World in this world, as there was no spiritual energy here.
But Teng Yu was able to use this Fire Arts, what did that mean?
He also taught Teng Yu the Water Drawing Arts and told him to give it a try. However, it was useless this time.
Did that mean that the chants that had to be triggered by spiritual energy could only be used in this world if certain conditions were met?
Just like how Teng Yu who trained in the Flame Yang Spell, with its dense fire attribute, with just a slight guidance, he could trigger the mechanism. Without necessary conditions, just using the chants would be useless.
Although this discovery was somewhat useless, it still made Yin Xu excited for a while.
There were countless chants for Cultivation World, and many of them were small techniques that everyone knew. These techniques were nothing in Cultivation World, but in this world, they were much more advanced.
At least, when he goes out with Teng Yu, he wouldn't need to bring a fire piston.
Teng Yu was also shocked by this ability, he had never heard of a sect where cultivation techniques could ignite fire, he felt that this was a technique written only by cultivators.
“Could this be the Three Flames of Legends?” Teng Yu asked happily.
Yin Xu regained his senses, and laughed coldly at him: “You? And also three kinds of True Fires? ” Don't joke around, that's something even he couldn't do in his heyday.
