Insufficient balance

  Zheng Feng waited at the back of the queue to receive his token. For five years, he had been by Fan's side and never exhausted his beast soul power to enter a dormant state again. However, it wasn't that he hadn't cultivated anything; rather, each time he would leave some leeway for himself so as not to fall into dormancy. His own beast soul power cultivation had also never stopped.

  What made Zheng Feng curious was that Ya Tou had once told him that the beast soul power started from a person's heart and circulated throughout the body, but he found that his own beast soul power actually started from the beast tattoo on his right arm and circulated throughout the body. However, after thinking about it later, he didn't think about it anymore, thinking that it should be influenced by Ya's tiger head tattoo, and he had no idea that there was a mysterious tribal tattoo on his right arm besides Ya's tiger head tattoo!

  Zheng Feng, who received the token, was also a bit nervous. Apart from Jiang Bao's time, he and Ya were also among those without actual combat experience. Although they had trained a lot, it was inevitable that they would have some worries.

  Meow~~~~~~~~~~~

  It seemed to have seen Zheng Feng's worry, and the puppy poked its small head out of Zheng Feng's chest, rubbing its fluffy head against his neck and barking.

  The person next to Zheng Feng heard the cat's cry and glanced at Ya, then turned back, no one would have thought that this cute little cat was a soul beast, thinking it was just Zheng Feng's pet.

  ．．．．．．

  Qinghai Forest is not far from the city of Falling Leaves, and it takes only a little over an hour to get there on foot. After asking for directions, Zheng Feng set off. However, most people stayed behind, looking for suitable teammates to form a party to hunt monsters.

  Although they also knew that would increase the number of beast crystals, they still thought safety first, with more people, find the magic beast and rush up together, as for who the beast crystal belongs to? ! Don't consider it for now. Anyway, there is no time limit, slowly finding will definitely be able to find enough magic beasts.

  Our two princesses also set off in the direction of Qinghai Forest after receiving the token, just like Zheng Feng. They didn't need to look for teammates at all, as each other was the best teammate.

  Lin Tianxue even wanted to go and hunt down the fierce beast, but Lin Tianyu disagreed. They were still arguing about it in the horse carriage, one talking and the other crying, but to outsiders, they didn't look like they were quarreling at all.

  To them, whoever stops first loses. The coachman was used to the princesses' way of arguing and drove the carriage to Qinghai Forest with a nonchalant attitude.

  Outside the Qinghai Forest, many lone Beast Soul Masters and mercenary groups have gathered. This year, the Tianling Academy's examination site is in the Qinghai Forest, so they temporarily sealed off the forest, also blocking them from entering.

  Some people are dissatisfied in their hearts, but they can only scold secretly and don't dare to speak out. Who let the fists be big is the truth? Their fists are not as good as those of the Tiān Hún Academy, who can blame whom? Can only blame themselves. If you can't win, why stay there? Might as well take it as a holiday and go back to the city to drink wine.

  More beastmasters and mercenaries chose to stay. To put it nicely, they were curious; to be blunt, they were nosy. Nosiness is a universal trait that affects everyone to some extent. When they heard that the Tianhun Academy entrance exam would be held in Qinghai Forest today, they decided to join in on the fun and see if anything interesting would happen, rather than going back to Yeluo City to drink wine.

  After passing the token through the blockade, Zheng Feng entered the Qinghai Forest. At first, at the entrance, the candidates were still advancing in twos and threes, but after all, they were not teammates, so how to allocate when encountering magical beasts? So soon each went their separate ways. At first, he could still hear the voices of other candidates, but as he slowly ventured deeper, those voices naturally disappeared one by one.

  Zheng Feng gazed out at the primeval forest, and couldn't help but feel that this place was simply an ocean of trees. There were no roads, nor any signs of human activity - it was a paradise for the soul beasts. One careless move could lead to danger at any moment.

  Although Wang Hao said that the Tianhun Academy had driven out the ferocious beasts from the outer perimeter, Zheng Feng would not believe these words at all. Even if Wang Hao was telling the truth, could he be certain that all the ferocious beasts had been completely driven away? Or that they wouldn't come back again after being driven away?

  Zheng Feng remained vigilant around him, not only alert to the attack of the soul beast, but also to the hidden dangers in the forest itself.

  Walking in the humid and hot Qinghai forest is not an easy thing. The specific temperature makes various strange and dangerous animals lurking in the forest. There are also many insects that spread diseases, and the plants are always crawling with biting big ants.

  The ground beneath the damp tree leaves was often a slippery and soft mud, along with rotting wood. The tangled vines and sprawling plants made walking even more difficult, and the stifling heat in the woods soon had Zheng Feng drenched in sweat.

  Of course, in addition to the various plants and animals unique to the primeval forest, many unknown soul beasts also inhabit this place. If you don't deliberately observe, it's easy to miss them. For example, Xiao Xiu's chameleon can change its outer skin to resemble withered wood, even changing the color of its eyes to match, allowing it to blend in perfectly with its surroundings and making it easier to catch prey. However, the chameleon is relatively gentle and won't actively attack humans.

  In such a humid and hot rainforest, the threat from the Sharp-toothed Crocodile is the greatest. The Sharp-toothed Crocodile is a common demon beast in the Qinghai forest, with dense sharp teeth in its bloody big mouth, its whole body is hard like armor, its vision and hearing are very sensitive, and although it looks clumsy, it is actually very agile.

  One crocodile is already difficult to deal with, but the sharp-toothed crocodile is particularly social. They like to live in lakeside areas, basking in the sun at noon, although they look lazy, don't be deceived. Whether on land or in water, its speed is astonishing.

  Anyone who provokes it may be attacked in an instant. If a person or other soul beast accidentally falls into their sphere of influence, there is only one dead end. Even if it's a stronger soul beast, they're very wary of their group attack and can only defend against them, never daring to provoke them lightly.

  It just so happened that Zheng Feng encountered them, a huge saltwater crocodile was lying on the lake shore, leisurely enjoying the midday sun. More than thirty meters away from the lake, there was a thicket of shrubs, which could easily completely hide a person. Zheng Feng was now hiding in this thicket, coldly staring at the saltwater crocodile.

  Zheng Feng's eyes scanned the surroundings of the lake, but he didn't see any other sharp-toothed alligators. Before coming to Ye Luo City, Zheng Feng had already read up on information about Ye Luo City and the Qinghai Forest, so he was naturally clear about the habits of sharp-toothed alligators.

  Congregate, hard, swift, weakness in the abdomen. These words flashed in Zheng Feng's mind. The seemingly single sharp-toothed alligator would definitely have more sharp-toothed alligators appear once attacked. Can't launch a direct attack, that would alarm other sharp-toothed alligators, otherwise it would really be time to escape.

  Zheng Feng whispered: "Can only lure over and kill with one blow, can't be entangled in battle, otherwise will definitely be surrounded. Ya!!"

  Having heard the summons, Ya jumped out of his clothes and when he wanted to return to his original form, he was stopped by Zheng Feng.

  "Pointing to the crocodile in the distance, Zheng Feng said: 'Don't transform back into your true form. When we get close to it, turn around twice and slowly run back here.'"

  The cat narrowed its eyes and looked at the crocodile basking in the sun by the lake. Responded with a sentence: "Meow! (~o~)Y"

  ．．．．．．

  A gigantic crocodile was originally enjoying the warm sunlight of the afternoon, but suddenly heard a "swish... swish... swish" sound coming from the thicket in front. Then a small cat emerged from the thicket, turned around twice in front of it, and called out: "Meow (#‵′) tuh".

  What can be tolerated, what cannot be tolerated! The giant crocodile only felt that its royal dignity was insulted, and it was despised by a cat. It was furious, opened its bloody big mouth and let out a loud roar, and pounced on the cat with lightning speed.

  At this time, the originally calm lake splashed up a ripple, several black and shiny big eyes rose, looked at the situation on the lakeside, and then sank again, the water surface restored its calmness, as if nothing had appeared.

  The giant crocodile saw that it was provoked and rushed towards him. The master's orders had been carried out, he turned his body around, and with a flick of his eye, he slipped into the bush.

  The giant crocodile would not let go of this little cat that disdained itself, its body completely unstoppable, "puff" and it drilled into the bushes, tightly pursuing without letting go.

  Zheng Feng hid in the distance and saw this scene, his spirit suddenly became tense, preparing to give new orders to Ya.
