C12 Entering the jungle and meeting an acquaintance

In the northeast direction of Pingyang City, there was a dense primal forest that covered an area of millions of mu.

In the ancient forest, ancient trees reached high into the sky, wild beasts filled the sky, and there were even some beast cultivators who had reached the acme of perfection.

Just like humans, wild beasts were also creatures that could cultivate. Moreover, through cultivation, they would be promoted to strange beasts that were even more powerful.

According to the strength of the mutated beasts, they were divided into ten stages, nine grades, and ninety levels.

Class 10 beasts were equivalent to Martial Disciples, Class 9 beasts were equivalent to Martial Disciples, Class 8 beasts were equivalent to Martial Masters, and so on.

Strange beasts devoured the spirit energy of the world to feed themselves, and their bodies and blood contained a great amount of spirit energy.

If one could consume strange beasts' flesh and blood for a long period of time, not only would they be able to increase their strength, but they would also be able to continuously improve their physique and enhance their own potential.

However, due to their unique body structure, they were far stronger than humans, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of the toughness of their physical body.

Human warriors were far from being a match for beasts of the same level!

Fortunately, most of the strange beasts in the ancient forest were ordinary Class 10 Magical Beasts. Not only were their strengths average, but most of them were distributed outside the dense forest.

A few beasts of the ninth step were hidden in the depths of the forest, rarely to be seen. They were just nice for the young warriors to train in the Pingyang City.

Therefore, this primal forest had also been turned into a training ground by the Pingyang City's three great families and the City Lord's Mansion. It was only used for the young warriors of Pingyang City to train.

This was precisely the place Yu Haoran was heading to.

After leaving the Yu Family, Yu Haoran did not choose to take the main road.

The reason he didn't take the main road was because he temporarily didn't want to meet any acquaintances.

As the Young Patriarch of the Yu Family, he had frequently attended some important occasions before her parents were killed. Basically, all the people from the big and small forces in the Pingyang City knew him.

He didn't want to meet acquaintances, not because he was afraid of them, but because he didn't want them to affect his next actions.

After all, in the past, he had relied on his parents' prestige and deterrence to bully men and bully women. Those people had previously taken into consideration his parents' prestige and didn't dare to find trouble with him.

But now!

The primeval forest was about 50 kilometers away from the Pingyang City. With the help of his elemental energy, Yu Haoran spent only 3 hours to reach the primeval forest successfully.

"Hey!" Isn't that Yu Family's Young Patriarch, Yu Haoran?! "

Just as Yu Haoran arrived in the primeval forest, before he even had the time to rest and observe the situation in front of the forest, he suddenly heard a surprised voice.

Turning his head to look, Yu Haoran could not help but frown.

Because the person who had exclaimed earlier, was a direct descendant of Wu Family, one of the three great families of the Pingyang City.

The three big families of Pingyang City are Yu Family, Cheng Family and Wu Family.

The three great families had passed down their inheritances for around five hundred years, and the differences between their strengths weren't too great, so no one was able to completely suppress them.

However, this kind of evenly matched situation was suddenly broken five years ago because a world shocking genius Yu Hongzhi had appeared in Yu Family.

Yu Hongzhi was a very special person within the Yu Family.

Before he reached adulthood, he was only an ordinary direct descendant of a clan.

Even after he had reached adulthood, his performance had not been considered outstanding, and could only be considered mediocre.

However, nineteen years ago, at the age of eighteen, he made an unexpected decision. It was to leave the family and travel for fourteen years without any news.

Just when everyone thought that he had died outside, he suddenly appeared in Yu Family. Not only did he reach the peak of the seventh grade, he even brought back his wife and children.

A cultivation base at the peak of the seventh rank was not the best in the Pingyang City, but he had a secret technique that could increase his strength by three to five levels, as well as a few martial skills that could allow him to fight those above his rank.

With the help of secret techniques and martial skills, he consecutively defeated the patriarchs of the three great families, and even forced the patriarch of the Yu Family to voluntarily give in.

Under his lead, the Yu Family used less than a year to completely suppress the other two great families, causing the territory of the Yu Family to expand rapidly.

If not for the City Lord's Mansion's secret warning and obstruction, he would have almost annihilated the Cheng family and the Wu family.

Originally, with Yu Hongzhi as the number one expert, it would be difficult for the Cheng Family and the Wu Family to rise to prominence in a few hundred years, unless their family had a top genius like Yu Hongzhi in a short amount of time.

However, under Yu Hongzhi's suppression, even if such a heaven-shocking genius appeared, it would be difficult for him to grow.

If this situation persisted for more than a hundred years, without Yu Hongzhi personally taking action, the Wu and Cheng Families, whose territories were shrinking and their gains were decreasing, would probably be automatically destroyed.

However, during that mysterious hidden battle one year ago, not only did the Yu Family's patriarch's direct line of descent suffer heavy losses, even the number one expert of the Yu Family, Yu Hongzhi, had unexpectedly died.

Five years!

In these five years, the Wu and Cheng Families were suppressed too fiercely by Yu Hongzhi. After recovering, they started to take revenge on Yu Family.

Fortunately, Yu Hongzhi had gained enough wealth and resources when he was in power during these five years, which also helped to raise his overall strength by a lot.

Facing the joint attacks of the two great families, Yu Family, who was tying up part of the front lines, was not at a disadvantage.

He recalled the enmity his father had with the two great families for the benefit of the clan.

Thinking about the situation he had encountered after his father had died unexpectedly, Yu Haoran couldn't help but sigh.

Subsequently, he raised his head to look at the Wu Clan disciple before him, and his eyes emitted a complicated expression.

The young man in front of him was called Wu Zhengjun, and was one of the top ten most talented youngsters in the Wu family, a direct descendant.

Originally, Yu Haoran, who was one of the lower ranked and had a low reputation, should not have known him.

But Wu Zhengjun had a special physique.

In the sect selection competition a month later, he had surpassed Wu Zhenghao, who was ranked first in the Wu Clan, and had been chosen by the first-rate power, the Iron Blood Sect.

It was because he knew Wu Zhengjun during the sect selection.

"What's the matter?" Secretly activating the fifth layer's elemental energy, Yu Haoran asked with a complicated tone.

The reason he mobilized the elemental energy at the fifth level was because he knew Wu Zhengjun would not let him go easily. Wu Zhengjun would definitely humiliate him by mistaken thinking that his true strength far surpassed his own.

After all, the five years of humiliation that the Wu Family and Cheng Family suffered were all because of his father.

Now that his father was dead, as his son, he would definitely be the target of revenge for the younger generation of the Cheng and Wu families.

His tone was complicated, but it was because in his previous life, his relationship with Wu Zhengjun was quite deep and he was one of his few friends. In his heart, he did not want to fight with Wu Zhengjun.
