forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night fell, the team set up camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting at night was extremely dangerous, though everyone was a Martial Artist of the Innate Realm with exceptional vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, nighttime could not be compared to daylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For many spiritual beasts, either their sense of smell was acute, or their vision at night was sharper—qualities not comparable to humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the majority of students from the Three Major Academies did not actively hunt at night after entering the Hunting Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, you keep watch tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a spiritual beast appears, notify us immediately!” Gao Lu approached Jing Yan and ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, these Martial Artists did not need sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, people like Gao Lu obviously did not want to waste time keeping watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having Jing Yan, who was readily available to do the grunt work, there was no reason not to make use of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll handle the night watch.” Jing Yan nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the cover of night, the entire Hunting Ground Mountain Range emitted a cold aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan sat cross-legged on a huge tree, with Jing Ziqi also seated beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, the mission we’ve taken this time is quite difficult and might take several days to complete,” Jing Ziqi whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm,” Jing Yan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why don’t you go back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be fine with Senior Sister Lin Ru here,” Jing Ziqi bit her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, she was happy with Jing Yan by her side, but she realized that Jing Yan’s presence here was basically a waste of time since he had not participated in any kills, and the hunted spiritual beasts had nothing to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go back together,” Jing Yan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed without incident!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, the team moved out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, not more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed before the team encountered a Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beast had strength roughly equal to a Human Martial Artist of the Late Innate Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Ru’s team included many Martial Artists of the Late Innate Realm, killing this spiritual beast was very easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was pleased with the kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we could kill a Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beast every two hours, we could complete the mission in one day!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts are not so easy to come across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We might not encounter one for several hours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe… or maybe we might come across several at once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope we encounter an easier Third-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing one would complete the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t wait to go back and collect the points,” Gao Lu laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Third-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beast had combat power equivalent to an Innate Peak Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their team’s strength, they could barely fight, but it was also very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fine if they encountered an easier Third-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beast, but a more troublesome one could lead to casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar of a spiritual beast came from ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ru and the others tensed up, exchanging glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go check it out!” Gao Lu volunteered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Lin Ru’s approval, he dashed out at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan frowned and shook his head unwillingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lu’s approach was somewhat improper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wanted to scout, he should be more cautious, conceal his aura, and slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gao Lu did not have this awareness; he simply charged out using his Primordial Energy, fearing that they might encounter the spiritual beast before it detected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ru and the others saw Jing Yan shaking his head but nobody paid much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prepare to fight; those Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts are coming over,” Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened as he sensed that the spiritual beasts ahead had noticed Gao Lu and were charging towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lu would definitely lead them right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those spiritual beasts?” Lin Ru’s eyebrows knitted together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might not have caught it, but Lin Ru sensed something unusual in Jing Yan’s words; he had said “those spiritual beasts,” not “that spiritual beast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, there should be four spiritual beasts coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are bursting with energy; they should all be Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts,” Jing Yan nodded and told Lin Ru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, don’t talk nonsense, how do you know there are four spiritual beasts?” Ye Dong laughed as he spoke to Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even they were unaware of the situation ahead, so how could Jing Yan know there were four spiritual beasts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he said they were all Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In five breaths, you’ll know,” Jing Yan looked at Ye Dong without explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Gao Lu was already leading four Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jing Yan’s words, except for Jing Ziqi, everyone else merely laughed it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, they did not take Jing Yan’s words seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lin Ru did not believe what Jing Yan had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan didn’t mind either; he had said all he needed to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t believe him, it wasn’t his fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ziqi, stand behind me later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given their current attitude, it will be hard to block four Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts at once,” Jing Yan told Jing Ziqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Jing Ziqi responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thump thump thump!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a series of loud noises, the whole ground started to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Lin Ru and the others drastically changed their expressions, realizing that this commotion wasn’t something one spiritual beast could cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Gao Lu’s disheveled figure appeared within everyone’s line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come help me!” Gao Lu shouted at Lin Ru and the others, very urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, four large figures could already be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Golden-eyed Bears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts, Golden-eyed Bears!” Ye Dong gasped in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden-eyed Bear was a notoriously tricky Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This species had a very strong life force and an immense strength, making it one of the least favored adversaries for Human Martial Artists among the Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the senses of the Golden-eyed Bear were not very acute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gao Lu had been more cautious during his reconnaissance, he could have completely avoided the discovery by the Golden-eyed Bears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after discovering that four Golden-eyed Bears were charging at him, he should have led them away from his team for safety, not towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This team, facing four Golden-eyed Bears, was in great danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they might have managed to kill ordinary Second-level Golden Pattern Spiritual Beasts, confronting fierce creatures like the Golden-eyed Bears was a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Engage!” Without hesitation, Lin Ru swung her arm and led with her Primordial Energy as she charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1155,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.819Z",1,"novelbin.me","6ef035357fdc0f572f2ff34f3ebb794b5d956ec6f7c38403a09983dc71e55728","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-335","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-333",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
