From these two assassins, he retrieved a Storage Pouch and some scattered silver notes.

Of course, he naturally also took those two Lower Grade Treasure Sabers.

When he breaks through to the Energy-Introducing Realm, he can fuse these two Treasure Sabers into the black Longsword, at least reforging it into an Upper Grade Treasure Artifact.

As for the Storage Pouch, it originally belonged to a Tiger Ferocity Army soldier responsible for recording his hunting achievements, but now he could only collect the Demon Beast corpses himself.

Though it's merely a Lower Grade Treasure Storage Pouch, its value far exceeds that of a typical Lower Grade Treasure Artifact because space treasures are quite rare, and even this most ordinary Storage Pouch is quite valuable.

"I'll make do with it for now, and once I break through to the Energy-Introducing Realm, I'll refine a better Storage Treasure Artifact."

Wang Ruoxie tucked the Storage Pouch into his bosom, then lifted his steps and continued to hunt Demon Beasts.

...

The sun set in the west, and dusk had arrived.

The talented youths participating in the hunting competition also began to emerge from the Tongyun Mountain Range, gathering at the entrance.

Except for a few dozen who used the opportunity to seek help from the Tiger Ferocity Army soldiers, the vast majority were fairly lucky, not only managing to hunt a large number of Demon Beasts but also remaining largely unscathed, clearly having not encountered Demon Beasts overwhelmingly stronger than themselves.

Of course, there were also a dozen or so unlucky ones who were devoured by Demon Beasts before they could call out for help.

The young masters and misses from the Marquis's Mansion also gradually emerged, but the Seventh Young Master, Wang Ruoxie, was conspicuously absent.

As time went on, everyone showed expressions of surprise; could it be that the Seventh Young Master had perished inside?

"Impossible, the Seventh Young Master is not who he used to be, having the Eighth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm, and he had even defeated the Sixth Young Master, Wang Ruochi, with one punch before, so his strength clearly isn't weak."

"That's still uncertain; these young masters and misses lack practical experience, especially when facing ferocious Demon Beasts, not to mention that the Seventh Young Master had been bedridden for a long time and was likely hunting Demon Beasts for the first time."

The crowd buzzed in whispered conversations.

Wang Ruokun, Wang Ruochi, and Luo Yuxiu all wore cold smiles, thinking that guy likely wouldn't appear again.

"Sister, should we go in to find him?"

Wang Xiuyan frowned slightly, speaking to Wang Xiuhui.

"Let's wait a little longer."

Wang Xiuhui also replied with a tense expression.

Standing aside, Meng Ying frowned deeply, worried that if Wang Ruoxie truly died, he would have difficulty explaining to the Marquis.

However, just at that moment, Wang Ruoxie's figure slowly emerged from the mountains.

Seeing Wang Ruoxie's scorched wound on his chest and equally charred left hand, everyone was filled with astonishment; what exactly had this Seventh Young Master encountered?

"Seventh Brother, are you alright? How did you get so hurt?"

"Quick, take this First Grade Healing Pill."

Wang Xiuhui and Wang Xiuyan hurriedly walked to Wang Ruoxie's side, with Wang Xiuyan directly handing him a pill.

"Thank you."

Wang Ruoxie took the Healing Pill and swallowed it directly.

In fact, though his injuries looked terrifying, they weren't too severe, at least not enough to affect his combat capabilities, so he went on to hunt a dozen or so Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts afterward.

He also discovered that after being tempered by the Blood God Essence Blood, not only did his fleshly defense greatly increase, but his recovery speed was also astounding. In just two hours, his wounds had mostly healed, even starting to grow new skin.

Moreover, this First Grade Healing Pill could speed up his recovery; within two days, his injuries would be fully healed.

"Seventh Brother, it seems you encountered really formidable Demon Beasts to sustain such heavy wounds, but it's fortunate you survived."

Wang Ruokun said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Sorry to disappoint you."

Wang Ruoxie replied coldly, giving Wang Ruokun a dismissive look.

"It seems the Seventh Brother must have encountered Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts, but you are quite lucky to escape alive."

Wang Ruochi chimed in with a smirk.

However, Wang Ruoxie continued to ignore Wang Ruochi, not bothering to acknowledge him, leaving Wang Ruochi furious with a darkened expression. Still, he didn't dare make any rash moves, not wishing to be beaten again by Wang Ruoxie in front of so many people.

"Now, let's begin evaluating the hunting outcomes."

At this point, Meng Ying addressed the group.

Subsequently, he began to evaluate one by one: "Zhang Fang."

As he finished speaking, a Tiger Ferocity Army soldier stepped out from behind a sixteen-year-old boy, saying, "Commander, his hunting result is thirty-six Tier One High Level Demon Beasts."

"Zhou Yuan."

"Thirty-nine Tier One High Level Demon Beasts."

"Zhao Yu."

"Forty-three Tier One High Level Demon Beasts."

...

The Tiger Ferocity Army soldiers accurately reported the numbers of Demon Beasts hunted by those they were following.

Most people could only hunt Tier One High Level Demon Beasts, with the quantity varying.

After all, among all the talented youths participating in the hunting competition, apart from Wang Ruokun, Wang Xiuhui, and Wang Xiuyan, who were in the Energy-Introducing Realm, the others were all solely in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, naturally making it impossible to hunt Tier Two Demon Beasts.

"Wang Ruochi."

"Three Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts, fifty Tier One High Level Demon Beasts."

As the words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar that Wang Ruochi, with only the Eighth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm, had actually hunted three High Tier Low Level Demon Beasts.

Hearing the exclamations from the crowd, Wang Ruochi's face was full of smugness, then he provocatively glanced at Wang Ruoxie.

"Luo Yuxiu."

"Five Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts, seventy Tier One High Level Demon Beasts."

When the soldier announced Luo Yuxiu's results, the crowd was once again in shock. Luo Yuxiu, also with only the Eighth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm, boasted such a terrifying score, it was simply unbelievable.

At this moment, Luo Yuxiu was also full of pride, glancing at Wang Ruoxie like an arrogant peacock.

"Wang Ruokun."

"Thirty-seven Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts."

As the soldier's words fell, everyone looked at Wang Ruokun with astonishment.

Many could see that in Wang Ruochi and Luo Yuxiu's results, the few Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts were likely Wang Ruokun's gifts.

This implied that Wang Ruokun had actually hunted over forty Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts, an absolutely terrifying score.

At this point, Luo Yuxiu directly clung to Wang Ruokun's arm, resting her head on his shoulder with a blissful expression, then looked at Wang Ruoxie again, as if to say, look, this is the man I chose, much better than you.

"A woman who doesn't know her worth."

Witnessing this scene, Wang Ruoxie's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm.

"Wang Ruoxie."

Finally, the name Wang Ruoxie was called, and instantly, all eyes focused on him.

"Third Brother, how many Demon Beasts do you think the Seventh Brother can hunt?"

Wang Ruochi asked Wang Ruokun with a mischievous smile.

"Judging by his appearance, he probably hunted only a few Tier One Demon Beasts at most, spending the rest of the time running for his life."

Wang Ruokun sneered.

Upon hearing this, many also burst into loud laughter.
