Chapter 117: Human-Fascinated Gorge

  The sky had not yet brightened, and in the square of the Hao Yuan Academy, a figure was already sitting cross-legged, diligently cultivating his own technique. This person was none other than Du Fei. Perhaps due to the influence of yesterday's defeat, Du Fei had intensified his cultivation process, never stopping at any moment, with no distractions in his mind, and only one thought: become stronger.

  A tall and majestic figure emerged from the darkness, none other than Meng Wei. Meng Wei saw that Du Fei was currently cultivating and did not disturb him, standing quietly by his side watching him. Du Fei sensed Meng Wei's arrival and slowly opened his eyes, calmly saying: "You're here, let's start our cultivation now."

  "Today we won't be cultivating here, I'll take you to a place that's more suitable for your cultivation. But let me make one thing clear: wherever we cultivate, there's always a risk of losing your life. However, the gains will be worth it, and you'll progress much faster. Think carefully about this." Meng Wei crossed his arms over his chest, looking calmly at Du Fei.

  "No need to consider, I'll go." Du Fei said without hesitation. It's no wonder that Du Fei agreed so firmly, as he had been living in an environment where death was always possible in the Devil's Mountain Range before. Although Meng Wei's words were terrifying, for Du Fei, who had been struggling on the line between life and death for years, it wasn't a place where he could quickly improve himself. Compared to his training in the Devil's Mountain Range, his progress over the past few months since arriving in the mortal world was clearly slower. Perhaps only in more dangerous places could Du Fei truly rapidly improve and grow.

  "Alright, since you've chosen this path, I respect your choice. Let's go." As soon as Meng Wei finished speaking, he grabbed Du Fei and they instantly disappeared from the square. When Du Fei opened his eyes, he found himself high up in the air, with strong winds howling past him, making him feel like his body was about to be blown apart. As Du Fei carefully looked around at the scenery before him, everything was dark and gloomy, with eerie wails and howls all around, sending shivers down his spine and making his skin crawl with fear.

  "What place is this?" Du Fei looked at Meng Wei and asked.

  "Shì rén xiá gǔ. Hào yuán xué yuàn de hòu shān, yě shì bèi liè wèi jìn dì de dì fāng." Mèng Wēi píng jìng de shuō, nà xiē kuáng fēng jiāng Mèng Wēi de tóu fà chuī bō de kuáng luàn, cǐ shí de Mèng Wēi kàn shàng qù jiù xǐ ān guò wàn qiān shēng sǐ de zhàn shén yì bān, kū rán bú dòng de xuán fú zài kōng zhōng.

  Translation:

  "The valley of the human world. The back mountain of Haoyuan Academy is also a forbidden place." Meng Wei said calmly, his hair blown wildly by the strong winds, making him look like a war god who had been through countless battles and deaths, standing still in mid-air.

  "Is this the forbidden land behind the Houyuan Academy in Xi Ren Gorge? Is this where I'm supposed to come and cultivate?" Du Fei asked doubtfully.

  "That's right, our current location is above the Human Beast Canyon. The canyon is surrounded by a massive Yuan Qi cage, which holds many Yuan beasts and notorious villains from the mainland. The situation inside is like a human hell, with blood flowing everywhere, corpses piled up like mountains, and danger lurking around every corner at all times. And your training ground is in the Human Beast Canyon. I'll ask you one last time, are you really willing to accept this kind of training, or are you just being impulsive?" Meng Wei looked calmly at Du Fei.

  "Let me go in, I've thought it through. This is the path I have chosen for myself and no one can change that." Du Fei said calmly.

  "Alright, I'll let you down now. You're on your own from here. There's only one exit in this valley, and if you want to get out, you can only do it through your own efforts. No one else can help you, not even me." Meng Wei said as he prepared to put Du Fei down. Du Fei quickly asked, "Wait, I still have something to ask you." Meng Wei stopped his actions and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What's wrong, having second thoughts now?"

  "I don't regret it, I just have one thing unclear, I want to ask clearly." Du Fei said.

  "Oh, what's up, ask." Meng Wei said.

  "You said this valley was forbidden land, why can you bring me in." Du Fei said.

  "When the time comes, if you can come out, go ask the principal, I won't answer for you here." Meng Wei finished speaking and had already thrown Du Fei down. Du Fei also fell quickly, only to see a faint blue ripple suddenly appear in the air, and after a while, the faint blue ripple disappeared. Meng Wei was also looking at Du Fei's disappearance with an unwilling face. At this moment, a fluttering figure appeared in front of Meng Wei. Meng Wei saw the arrival and was shocked first, then calmed down and said: "Master, how did you come?"

  "No big deal, I just came to see if this kid really made it down here. I almost can't believe it, all these years and no one has ever been able to make it through this terrible purgatory, yet a little devil like him was able to break the silence inside." Zhang exclaimed.

  "There is one thing that I don't understand, why did you order me to impose a seal on Du Fei's body yesterday to disrupt the flow of his internal energy? If I hadn't imposed the seal, I reckon he wouldn't have lost to Jiang Han either. This kid may not be highly cultivated, but when it comes to actual combat ability, I think he is one of the few who can hold his own among his peers. Are you really going to let this rare talent be tempered in that hellish world?" Meng Wei asked with cupped hands.

  "Hey, I also know what you're saying, but I'm also entrusted by someone else. Even I don't know the intention behind this, but that person's goal is to let this kid enter the Valley of Snakes to temper himself. That's all I know." said with a deep and meaningful tone.

  "Principal, you are also entrusted by someone, is that person..." Meng Wei was about to say when Xiang Zhang pressed his finger on his lips, signaling Meng Wei to shut up. Meng Wei immediately stopped speaking. Seeing that Meng Wei didn't say anything, Xiang Zhang sighed and said: "Forget it, whether he lives or dies depends on his fate. Let's go back now and not linger here." After finishing, the principal disappeared into the darkness of night. Meng Wei also saw the principal disappear and reluctantly looked at the dark fog below him before disappearing into the darkness of night.

  "Ah, it hurts so much! This guy is always like this, doesn't let people live!" Du Fei heavily fell to the ground at this time. Just now, Meng Wei didn't care about Du Fei's safety at all and threw him down from a high altitude. Fortunately, Du Fei's body was quite strong, and the injury from yesterday had also healed a lot. At this time, Du Fei sat on the ground with a disheveled head and face, looking around at the situation. However, after looking for half a day, the surroundings were shrouded in endless darkness. But the wailing sounds around him would occasionally startle people, making their hair stand on end. Du Fei was also vigilant, holding his Suizhu knife to prevent any situation that might happen at any time. Just as Du Fei's eyes lit up with a burst of white light, he excitedly took out the long-lost Wuzi Tian Shu.

  "Ah, right! I haven't seen you in a long time, how are you? Are you okay?" Du Fei exclaimed excitedly.

  "Do we know each other? Who are you?" was written on the wordless heavenly book.

  "Hehe, don't be like that, didn't I tell you before? With more people around, it's not suitable for me to take you out, and now with fewer people, isn't it the same?" Du Fei said with a silly smile.

  "Never mind, I'm too lazy to talk to you, and I won't bother with you about these things. But honestly, the place you're in now is also very dangerous. You should be careful." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Oh, I know this one. By the way, let me ask you something. Do you know what that Hao Yuan Sheng Zhuang thing on the square is? I heard it's even more powerful than a Tian Bao-level treasure." Du Fei asked.

  "You're talking about that outfit floating in the air, I don't know what it is, but I feel like it's been sealed by something above, and the time of its existence may date back thousands of years. Specifically, what's above, even I don't know, but I do know that if it's unsealed, it will definitely be a terrifying existence." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote. Du Fei also showed an extremely shocked expression upon seeing this.

  "Oh, it seems that taking things is really a good thing. I'll definitely try it out if I have the chance." Du Fei said.

  "Beware, there's a killing intent." The words on the wordless heavenly book were written quickly, and Du Fei also felt a strong killing intent coming from behind him. Just as he was about to take off into the air, he was suddenly pulled back down to the ground by an unseen force. Du Fei quickly scanned his surroundings while lying on the ground, and the Eye Technique from the Heavenly Origin Scripture was activated instantly. In the darkness of night, everything became clear as day.

  Du Fei clearly saw the object that had just launched a sneak attack on him. It was a man with a ferocious face, disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and eyes that glowed like those of a beast. The man's four limbs were bound by iron chains, but all four chains had been broken, lying limp on the ground.

  The man saw Du Fei lying on the ground and smiled savagely, his mouth drooling with excitement, as if he had found his prey. With a swift motion, the man swung his right hand, and the iron chain attached to it shot towards Du Fei's position like a whip. Du Fei saw the incoming attack and narrowed his eyes, just as the chain was about to reach him.

  Du Fei quickly pushed off the ground with both hands and sprang up into the air, avoiding the iron chain by a hair's breadth. However, the chain still struck the large stone where Du Fei had been lying, splitting it in two with a loud "clang".

  "Haha, it's been a long time since we've seen a new face around here. I didn't expect it to be a little devil. Looks like someone's going to get eaten today." The man stared at Du Fei, laughing uncontrollably.

  Du Fei was also surprised after hearing the man's words and said: "This guy can talk, and he still wants to eat human flesh..."
