Black Mountain Ape was running well, but after receiving a punch from Wang Yi, it was severely injured and its speed had greatly decreased, only slightly faster than Niu Meng.
Three figures moved in the forest, appearing as three black dots from above.
After a stick of incense's time, a mountain peak appeared ahead, about several dozen zhang high, barren and devoid of trees, with rocks exposed all over the mountainside.
"Roar." Black Mountain Ape let out a long howl and transformed into a shadow, heading towards the mountain.
"Bastard! You stop right there!" Niu Meng, a burly man, shouted loudly as he chased after it, panting heavily.
At that moment, Black Mountain Ape darted into a cave.
Niu Meng was overjoyed and yelled, "This time I’ll see where you can run!" He rushed towards the cave.
The slope was not steep, and Wang Yi quickly caught up with Niu Meng, saying, "Niu Meng, be careful."
"Got it, big brother. Watch me; I will definitely take this beast down!" Niu Meng shouted angrily as he charged into the cave.
Before Wang Yi could enter, he suddenly heard Niu Meng's voice from inside the cave: "Big brother, what is this?"
"Hahaha, our luck is truly amazing; it came without any effort."
As Wang Yi rushed into the cave, he was immediately dazzled by the bright light. The cave walls shimmered with gold, silver, and bronze hues, illuminating the walls with brilliant radiance and colorful glows—a stunning sight indeed.
The light that Wang Yi saw was emanating from the Wooden Plaque.
"Great!" Wang Yi squinted his eyes and noticed that the source of the dazzling light came from a pile of Three-Colored Wooden Plaques, numbering around ten or so, forming what looked like a small mountain.
"Beast, considering you led me to this treasure, I’ll spare you this time. Now go!" Wang Yi said to the Black Mountain Ape, which was roaring in a corner. It was clear that these Wooden Plaques were collected by the Black Mountain Ape and placed here.
With a whimper, Black Mountain Ape seemed to understand Wang Yi's words and suddenly dashed out into the open.
"Seventeen pieces?" Niu Meng squatted down and counted, realizing that there were indeed seventeen Wooden Plaques in front of him. He was instantly overjoyed and said, "Bastard, this is fantastic! With these Wooden Plaques, we can definitely secure first place, brother."
Wang Yi nodded, clearing his thoughts. Now the two of them had gathered twenty-three Wooden Plaques, including nine Golden Wooden Plaques, seven Silver Wooden Plaques, and seven Bronze Plaques, totaling thirteen thousand seven hundred points.
"Alright, let's go!" Wang Yi said contentedly. "Although that beast ruined the mood, having these Wooden Plaques as collateral makes it worthwhile."
Upon hearing this, Niu Meng laughed heartily.
Night fell, with the bright moon hanging in the sky.
The night of Early Spring was much warmer than deep winter, though the air still carried a hint of humidity.
A bonfire blazed fiercely in the darkness, and the soft moonlight poured down like water from the Nine Galaxies above, reflecting in the flames and creating a beautiful silver glow.
Wang Yi and Niu Meng sat cross-legged around the bonfire, their faces flushed from the warm flames, filled with laughter.
On a wooden rack over the fire, two pieces of Tiger Meat were roasting.
The two spent most of their time searching again and found two more Golden Wooden Plaques, three Silver Wooden Plaques, and five Bronze Plaques. Overall, their harvest was quite abundant; according to the reward system, aside from the basic two thousand points, they would receive an additional sixteen bottles of Vitality Pills.
Soon, the Tiger Meat was ready.
"Brother, let's eat!" Niu Meng rubbed his large hands together, looking eagerly at the now-cooked Tiger Meat.
Wang Yi nodded and picked up a piece of Tiger Meat to eat.
Niu Meng devoured it hungrily, his mouth glistening with grease as he enjoyed it immensely.
"Who could it be? Oh, it's just you two?" Suddenly, an untimely voice came through the cool air.
Wang Yi was startled and quickly got up to look around, only to see a flicker of fire moving toward them from the darkness in the distance.
Soon, the firelight was within ten meters of Wang Yi and the others. With the sound of light footsteps, several figures emerged from the shadows, all dressed in white. The leader was tall and fair-skinned, with bright eyes that occasionally flashed with a hint of malice, making one feel wary. The gaze directed at Wang Yi was filled with a subtle disdain and anger.
“Zhao Shanyu.” Wang Yi frowned and called out this person's name.
“Zhao Shanyu, what are you doing here?” Niu Meng said, removing the Tiger Meat from the corner of his mouth and jumping up to question him without any courtesy.
“Hmph, how strange. This is the territory of Sect; why can’t I Zhao Shanyu come here?” Zhao Shanyu raised an eyebrow, fixing his gaze on Niu Meng, and spoke in a harsh tone: “Niu Meng, remember your identity. My affairs are not for you to question. Also, according to Sect rules, how should you address your senior brother upon meeting him? How dare you call me by my name directly? What happened to the rules of the sect?”
Upon hearing this, Niu Meng's expression changed. The rules of Kaiyang Sect were strict, and no one dared to violate them. However, seeing Zhao Shanyu so arrogant made him uncomfortable. He glared at him fiercely before letting it go.
“Haha, Brother Zhao is truly impressive!” Wang Yi suddenly laughed loudly, deliberately showing a look of disdain on his face.
Seeing Wang Yi laugh so loudly with clear disdain written all over his face made Zhao Shanyu furious. He forcibly suppressed his anger and said, “Hmph, Wang Yi, what are you laughing at?”
“Brother Zhao, put away your pitiful pride; you are merely my defeated opponent,” Wang Yi said, staring intently at Zhao Shanyu.
Wang Yi's words struck Zhao Shanyu like thunder in his heart. Especially when he heard the phrase "defeated opponent," he could no longer contain his anger. His face darkened as he said, “Wang Yi, what did you say? Dare to repeat that?”
“Wang Yi, you are too arrogant! You didn’t pay respects to Brother Zhao upon seeing him and instead spoke wildly. Quickly apologize to Brother Zhao!”
“That’s right! Wang Yi, you are just a country bumpkin; how dare you speak like that to Brother Zhao?”
The other disciples were filled with righteous indignation as they condemned Wang Yi as if he had committed an unforgivable crime.
“Bastard! I can say it a hundred times!” Niu Meng shouted angrily. “No matter how powerful you are, Zhao Shanyu, you are just my brother's defeated opponent.”
“This makes me furious!” Zhao Shanyu's face turned ashen with rage; he was almost about to jump up when he heard Wang Yi's even more arrogant voice reach his ears.
"Do you dare to bet with me?" Wang Yi feigned disdain and said, "Forget it, even if I do, you wouldn't dare?" He looked at Zhao Shanyu with a challenging gaze, secretly amused, knowing that Zhao Shanyu couldn't stand being provoked.
"What? I wouldn't dare?" Zhao Shanyu fell for the bait and pointed at Wang Yi, saying, "What are we betting on?"
"We'll compare our scores. The one with more points wins. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me," Wang Yi said with a hint of mischief on his face, enunciating each word: "Do you... dare or not?"
"Fine, it's a deal. If you lose, you'll have to kneel in front of me and call me 'Grandpa' three times." Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanyu's eyes narrowed, secretly pleased: "Hmph, I have many subordinates, while you only have two. I'm sure to win this bet."
"Alright, a gentleman's word..." Wang Yi suppressed his excitement and thought to himself: "Let's see how I can get back at you this time."
"Quickly decide on the stakes," Zhao Shanyu interrupted. "What will we bet on?"
"If I win, you just need to teach me the 'Tyrannosaurus Fist,'" Wang Yi replied.
"The 'Tyrannosaurus Fist'? No way, pick something else," Zhao Shanyu frowned and firmly rejected Wang Yi's request.
"Are you afraid of losing to me?" Wang Yi smirked slightly, though he felt a bit nervous. The martial arts technique called 'Tyrannosaurus Fist' that Zhao Shanyu had used in their previous battle was still fresh in his memory. If he could learn this technique, it would give him an extra trump card.
"What? Am I going to lose to you?" Zhao Shanyu's face turned purple with anger at Wang Yi's words. Wang Yi's repeated insults had genuinely infuriated him, which was exactly what Wang Yi wanted.
"Dare? Or not?" Wang Yi's gaze was sharp as a sword, staring at Zhao Shanyu and speaking word by word.
"What is there to be afraid of?" Zhao Shanyu snorted coldly and looked at Wang Yi proudly. "Do you really think that just the two of you can defeat me? Dream on!"
"That's right, Brother Zhao is right. With so many of us, how could we possibly lose to just the two of you?"
"Hmph, you're simply blind. Even if you had another pair of eyes, it wouldn't be enough to compete with us."
"When the time comes, Wang Yi, you'll have to kneel in front of Brother Zhao and call him 'Grandpa' three times in front of all your fellow disciples—what a humiliation for yourself."
"Let me tell you, I currently have ten Golden Wooden Plaques, eight Silver Wooden Plaques, and twenty Bronze Plaques. What do you have to compare with me?" Zhao Shanyu said with a hint of pride in his eyes, staring at Wang Yi word by word.
"What? Impossible?" Wang Yi's expression changed drastically, and an overwhelming sense of despair filled his heart. He had thought that the Wooden Plaque he obtained from the Black Mountain Ape would allow him to surpass Zhao Shanyu, but now he realized that his opponent also possessed such a large number of Wooden Plaques. At this rate, Zhao Shanyu already had eighteen thousand points, while he only had two hundred points more than him. The situation had far exceeded his expectations.
"Bastard! How could this be? You must be lying to us, right?" Niu Meng also understood the seriousness of the situation and cursed angrily.
"Hmph, ignorant fools. Show them," Zhao Shanyu sneered, curling his lip as he turned around.
A tall youth walked out with a smug expression, his arrogant demeanor making Niu Meng wish he could punch him.
"Hmph, you better open your eyes and watch closely." The Tall Youth glanced disdainfully at Wang Yi and Niu Meng. With a flick of his hand, accompanied by the sound of clattering, a large pile of golden, silver, and Bronze Plaques appeared before Wang Yi, their dazzling brilliance blinding the two.
The Tall Youth snorted and waved his hand, retracting the Wooden Plaques back into his Storage Bag. He looked at Wang Yi and said, "Wang Yi, just wait until you call us Brother Zhao grandpa!"
"Hahaha..." The crowd burst into laughter.
"Hmph, simply overestimating oneself."
"Indeed, a speck of dust daring to compete with the moonlight."
"Wang Yi, I suggest you admit defeat now and call Brother Zhao grandpa three times! Don't worry; we won't let you go." The Tall Youth looked mockingly at Wang Yi and said, "Right, everyone?"
