Martial Arts are Too Involuted, and If You are Not Careful, You Can Quickly Pass the High Martial Arts

97: Scouting MissionGu Yunfei’s mouth twitched continuously.

Listen, all of you, listen.

Is what this guy saying even human?

This is still considered slow?

If I could Cultivate from fifth-level to eighth-level in ten days, I’d be laughing in my dreams.

But for you, this guy... you’re actually complaining it’s a bit slow.

Be a human, Ye Chen!

Gu Yunfei wailed in his heart.

He had originally thought that by following Ye Chen to this Beacon Tower for fifteen days, he would be able to Cultivate properly. After all, there was little to do here, and they didn’t need to take action. But who knew... Ye Chen had already Cultivated to the sixth-level on the second day. This was fine, probably because Ye Chen had accumulated enough, as he was already at the shackles realm during the College Entrance Examination.

Who knew, two days later, he actually Broke Through to the seventh-level.

Later, it was better; it took several days to Break Through to the eighth-level.

Wait... why did I use ’better’?

Gu Yunfei fell into silence.

Damn it, being around this guy, I’ve actually started to think that Breakthrough is so simple.

Gu Yunfei’s silence and the regret on Ye Chen’s face formed a stark contrast.

Ye Chen, at this moment, was looking at the System panel, lost in thought.

”After the eighth-level, to advance to the ninth-level, even within the Level 7 Alien Space, it would still take half a month.”

”After all, there are no Cultivation resources. If there were resources, it would probably only take a week to Break Through to the ninth-level, or even less.”

”Academic credits, too few!”

Ye Chen looked helplessly at the empty academic credit column in his identity wristband.

”Guarding the Beacon Tower, although easy, doesn’t earn many academic credits. It’s only 200 academic credits a day, and I have to wait until I leave the Barren Bone Space for it to be credited.”

”Too troublesome!”

Ye Chen sighed, looking at the battlefield before him.

In these ten days, besides the daily small beast tides, there had been no other incidents, and Ye Chen hadn’t even had a chance to take action.

This meant Ye Chen couldn’t even earn academic credits by killing Vicious Beasts.

”This won’t do; I can’t stay at the Beacon Tower anymore. This is simply a waste of life, a waste of time!”

Ye Chen thought to himself, his gaze falling on Gu Yunfei.

Gu Yunfei noticed Ye Chen’s gaze and was startled. Looking at Ye Chen, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

”You... what are you going to do?”

Gu Yunfei couldn’t help but hug his body. For some reason, he always felt that Ye Chen had ill intentions.

Ye Chen said with a chuckle, ”Senior Apprentice Gu, is there a possibility that we don’t stay at the Beacon Tower anymore? Let’s go... play at being scouts!”

As he spoke, a bright light flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes.

What was the fastest way to earn academic credits in Another Dimension?

It wasn’t being a Barren Bone Guard, nor was it guarding a Beacon Tower, but being a scout!

Scout missions required leaving the Barren Bone Fortress to explore the traces of Vicious Beasts and simultaneously collect Heaven And Earth Treasure within Another Dimension.

Regardless of the intelligence explored or the Heaven And Earth Treasure collected, after handing them in, one could receive a good amount of academic credit rewards.

In fact... since you’re already going out to collect them yourself, you might as well use any useful resources for yourself. Why hand them in?

For Ye Chen, this was the most lucrative job!

Most importantly, as a scout gathering intelligence on Vicious Beasts, he could also kill Vicious Beasts to earn academic credits, and even... the dead Qi within the Vicious Beasts of the Barren Bone Space... could be devoured by his Sword Intent.

This was the point that excited Ye Chen the most!

But now... staying at this Beacon Tower, Ye Chen felt his body was going to rust.

Gu Yunfei looked at Ye Chen, his mouth twitching continuously.

What the hell.

Go play at being a scout?

Is being a scout that easy?

Even sixth-rank students face danger when being scouts; otherwise, the rewards for scouts wouldn’t be so high.

Except for those confident in their strength, who would be willing to go?

Anyway, he, Gu Yunfei, would never go. Even if he jumped off this Beacon Tower, he would absolutely not go.

”Senior Apprentice Gu!”

Ye Chen looked at Gu Yunfei affectionately.

”Help me talk to them, okay? Anyway, as long as you help me talk, you don’t have to come with me.”

Gu Yunfei heard this, remained silent for a long time, and finally agreed.

However, when Gu Yunfei brought Ye Chen out of the Barren Bone Garrison, he fell into self-doubt.

He informed Zhao Xiong of Ye Chen’s idea, and Zhao Xiong agreed. It should have been a happy occasion for everyone, but Zhao Xiong’s next sentence immediately silenced Gu Yunfei.

”After all, Ye Chen is a new student; you older students should take care of him!”

”How about this, you go with Ye Chen to complete the scout mission. You’ll be responsible for protecting Ye Chen’s safety, which is what you older students should do.”

When Gu Yunfei heard these words, he even wanted to punch Zhao Xiong in the face.

Damn it, he’s an eighth-level person; does he need me, another eighth-level person, to protect him?

For such a Prodigy, am I protecting him, or is he protecting me?

However, despite Gu Yunfei’s many grievances, facing Zhao Xiong’s order, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only bite the bullet and accept the mission.

Gu Yunfei looked at Ye Chen with a mournful expression and said, ”Junior Apprentice Ye Chen, you’ve really put me in a tough spot, big brother!”

Ye Chen rubbed his nose, giving an awkward smile.

To be honest, Ye Chen hadn’t expected Gu Yunfei to go with him to complete the scout mission. Who knew that Zhao Xiong... would come up with such an idea.

Now... the mission had already been issued. Even if Gu Yunfei didn’t want to go, he would have to obediently follow Ye Chen to carry out the scout mission.

Gu Yunfei also knew this, so after giving Ye Chen a resentful look, he sighed and opened his identity wristband, glanced at the scout mission, and his eyes lit up.

”Good, good, the mission isn’t particularly difficult; it’s just intelligence within three hundred kilometers to the east!”

Gu Yunfei looked at the mission and finally smiled again.

Another Dimension was vast. Generally speaking, beyond a thousand kilometers from the fortress was considered the depths of Another Dimension, and three hundred kilometers... was merely the outer region of Another Dimension.

Although there were many Vicious Beasts here, most were only fourth or fifth-rank Vicious Beasts, and even sixth-rank Vicious Beasts were rare.

It could be said... the safety factor was very high.

After all, Ye Chen was just a new student; Zhao Xiong wasn’t crazy enough to give Ye Chen a particularly difficult scout mission.

So, he simply found a random outer exploration point and assigned it to Ye Chen and Gu Yunfei.

Gu Yunfei looked at the mission location, his face full of smiles.

Immediately, he happily led Ye Chen out of the Barren Bone Fortress and headed towards the mission location.

And just as the two left the Barren Bone Fortress, in a hidden jungle outside the Barren Bone Fortress.

A figure in a crimson robe slowly appeared. He watched Ye Chen and Gu Yunfei leave, a slight smile playing on his lips.

”Finally leaving the defensive fortress, are we? I thought I’d have to create a large Vicious Beast tide to kill you, but now it seems... it won’t be that troublesome!”

The person spoke softly, then took out a Jade Slip and spoke into it.

”Tell Song Zhifei to prepare. Ye Chen has left the Barren Bone Fortress. Follow him, and when you reach a deserted place, handle this matter cleanly!”

After speaking, the figure in the crimson robe gently clenched his hand, directly crushing the Jade Slip, and along with his figure, he also disappeared into this part of the world... Ye Chen and Gu Yunfei’s figures quickly traversed the wilderness.

Around them, waves of fierce aura surged out, filling the entire wilderness with a chilling Qi.

The temperature between heaven and earth seemed to have dropped significantly at this moment.

Gu Yunfei kept looking around, as if on alert for something.

”I say, Junior Apprentice, we’re here to investigate intelligence. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for us to just stroll around so openly?”

Gu Yunfei said cautiously.

One must know that the job of a scout was to investigate the gathering of Vicious Beasts in the surroundings and to lie in wait within Another Dimension to prevent sudden Vicious Beast riots that could pose a threat to the defensive fortress.

And this kind of work also required extreme caution. Only in this way could one ensure their safety when facing the endless Vicious Beasts within Another Dimension.

But Ye Chen... after leaving the defensive fortress with Gu Yunfei, he actually galloped openly through this wilderness, as if... afraid that others wouldn’t notice Ye Chen’s presence.

This made Gu Yunfei’s heart pound, constantly in a state of alarm and extreme fear.

Ye Chen, however, showed an indifferent expression.

”Oh, it’s fine. I originally wanted to kill some Vicious Beasts. Scout work... who cares about it.”

Gu Yunfei’s body immediately stopped in place. He looked at Ye Chen in disbelief: ”No, buddy, if you don’t care about it, I have to!”

”If you had told me earlier that you wanted to kill Vicious Beasts, would I have followed you?”

Gu Yunfei cursed loudly. He had thought that Ye Chen just wanted to experience scout work and earn more academic credits. Who knew, this guy was actually here for these Vicious Beasts.

Isn’t this just asking for death?

This was Another Dimension!

And it was an Another Dimension that hadn’t been suppressed and cleared. There were countless Vicious Beasts, and even seventh-rank Vicious Beasts lived within it. If they were unlucky... they would all perish here.

Ye Chen stopped, scratched his head, and said, ”Then, Senior Apprentice, what do you suggest?”

Gu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief: ”Good, he can still listen.”

Gu Yunfei had just begun to tell Ye Chen how to complete the scout mission when he saw Ye Chen’s expression change slightly, and he suddenly looked in one direction.
