Chapter 204 - Awkward Atmosphere

Liu Yan left the principal’s office and returned to his car. He used his smart wristband to search for information about the Northern Hunting Ground.

Unlike the previous three training grounds, which had very little information, the Northern Hunting Ground was a completely open venue for the upper house of Lighthouse Academy. Therefore, he could search for a lot of information about Northern Hunting Ground.

According to the information he had obtained from the smart wristband, Liu Yan had a rough understanding of it as well.

The Northern Hunting Ground was a place that allowed all the students and even instructors to enter. Its hunting grounds were divided into several levels. They were the basic hunting grounds, the intermediate hunting grounds, the advanced hunting grounds, and the top hunting grounds.

According to the information that Liu Yan had obtained, the talent of the fierce beast in the basic hunting grounds was around D-grade, and there were high and low levels fierce beasts.

The grade of the fierce beast in the intermediate hunting ground was generally C-grade.

The grade of the advanced hunting ground was B-grade.

And in the last top hunting ground, most of the fierce beasts were A-grade, and a few S-grade or above fierce beasts.

The fierce beasts in the basic hunting ground, intermediate hunting ground, and advanced hunting ground were the fierce beasts that the academy raised. These fierce beasts were for the students to train their actual combat experience. The students could also capture them as pets.

As for the top-grade hunting ground, it was different from the previous three hunting grounds. There were even fundamental differences.

The top-grade hunting ground was connected to another plane. As for which plane it was, they couldn’t find out. They only knew that there were all sorts of the powerful fierce beast inside.

Fortunately, the top-grade hunting grounds also had a protective field. As long as one was inside, they could leave at any time through the smart wristband, reducing the probability of accidents and dangers.

The Earth Dragon’s Blood that Liu Yan needed was only obtainable from the Earth Dragon in the top hunting ground.

However, because of the special nature of the top hunting ground, it would only be open for one day on Sunday. It would be close for the rest of the days in the week.

Liu Yan looked at the date. Today was still Thursday. He had to wait two more days.

However, Liu Yan felt that the last treasure was the simplest to get out of the four treasures.

Previously, Liu Yan had to spend a lot of time and effort to obtain the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng from the Eastern Medicine Garden.

Searching for the ice chalcedony in the Western Mine was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. If Liu Yan did not have the A-grade skill Omniscient Insight and his lucky encounter with Treasure Pangolin, he would not be able to find the ice chalcedony easily.

As for the Purple Gold Taisui that he had just obtained, he had also experienced many dangers before obtaining it.

On the other hand, Liu Yan felt that it was relatively easier to get the last treasure, the Earth Dragon’s Blood.

After all, Liu Yan’s combat strength was almost enough. As long as he could successfully encounter the Earth Dragon, it would be relatively easy to obtain the Earth Dragon’s Blood after a battle, not to mention completing the hunt.

Liu Yan knew he was strong enough to fight the Earth Dragon, but Principal Zhong did not think so. So, Principal Zhong asked Liu Yan to find some strong teammates to help him.

Up until now, the most difficult thing was to encounter the Earth Dragon.

After all, Liu Yan could enter the top hunting ground in the Northern Hunting Ground on Sunday. He had o try his luck to look for the Earth Dragon. The probability was undoubtedly low, and he really needed some good luck.

“Forget it, I’ll just go there a few more times. I don’t believe I won’t be able to meet it.”

Liu Yan muttered.

Then, Liu Yan drove his origin powered sports car back to his villa.

There were still two days left until Sunday. Liu Yan planned to rest in the villa for two days.

When he returned to the villa, the three women had already returned. They were busy cooking dinner together.

When the three women saw that Liu Yan had returned, they were little surprised.

When Chu Long saw that Liu Yan had returned, she was naturally extremely happy. She hopped over to Liu Yan.

“Brother Liu Yan, you’re back! I’m going to cook a few new dishes today. When the time comes, you can have good taste!” Chu Long said with a joyous face.

Liu Yan patted Chu Long’s head and said with a smile, “Is that so? You can cook now?”

Liu Yan and Chu Long had been neighbors since they were young, and they had played together since they were young.

Liu Yan knew Chu Long well.

Although Chu Long was the most obedient one, she was lazy to learn how to cook. She didn’t know how to cook an egg before, but now she was cooking them dinner.

“Yes, I learned it from Sister Luo Qingcheng. I have to learn how to cook if I am going to the higher levels of the Tower.” Chu Long nodded slightly.

Liu Yan smiled and patted Chu Long’s head. He also realized Chu Long had changed during this period.

After all, she would encounter all kinds of situations in the Tower.

Chu Long had also gradually grown up. In fact, her temperament had already matured a little

Liu Yan immediately raised his head and saw a pair of somewhat resentful eyes. It was Murong Xue.

When he left the villa last time, Liu Yan ‘took revenge’ on Murong Xue. Murong Xue probably still held a grudge against him.

When Liu Yan thought of what happened last time, he felt a little embarrassed. At that time, he was too hot-headed and didn’t think about the aftermath.

Although Murong Xue had a fierce personality, she was still a woman after all. She still cared about her dignity.

Meanwhile, Luo Qingcheng was watching a good show from the side.

“If you can do it yourself, do it yourself.” Luo Qingcheng whispered to Liu Yan.

“Ahem.” Liu Yan looked a little embarrassed, but he knew that this matter had to be solved, and he couldn’t keep avoiding it.

Immediately, Liu Yan walked forward.

“What are you doing? I’m free today, so I’ll help you do it together.” Liu Yan said.

Murong Xue said in a bad mood, “Who needs your help!”

Seeing this, Luo Qingcheng tactfully pulled Chu Long away.

“Chu Long, didn’t you say you need me to help you with some questions? Let’s go now.” Murong Xue said.

Hearing this, Chu Long said with some doubt, “Ah? Now? Why don’t I go and help them cook first, and then I’ll learn it at night.”

Murong Xue glanced at Chu Long with an innocent expression. It seemed that she really could not read the room.

“It’s okay. They’ll be fine. Let’s do it now.”

As she said this, Murong Xue pulled Chu Long away.

Chu Long turned around and glanced at Murong Xue and Liu Yan. Her face was full of question marks. She felt these two people were acting weird, but she did not know what was strange about them.

In a short while, only Liu Yan and Murong Xue were left in the kitchen.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. The two of them were silent and didn’t know what to say.

Liu Yan thought about it while helping out, but he still took the initiative to ask, “Oh right, I’ve been busy with my cultivation during this period. How’s your progress in the Combat Technique School? Is there anything I can help you with?”

“I’m doing fine. I don’t need your help.” Murong Xue’s attitude was cold.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent again.

Liu Yan went speechless, not knowing what to do.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have been so impulsive that day.
