Chapter 648 - 408: Tower Forest_3

As the man walked by, the crowd that was originally whispering gradually fell silent.

His figure was straight, thin as a spear, and he walked slowly from the edge of the dense forest to the front of the crowd. The dry branches and leaves on the ground crackled under his feet.

Duan Rong very much wanted to use Divine Sense Penetration to see the man’s Dantian and examine his Realm, but he still suppressed his impulse.

"My name is Yao Che. I am your tutor!"

As soon as the man stopped, he immediately spoke, his voice like a rusty old bell, deep and resonant.

"The Tower Forest is a place of harsh training! Of course, I am not the only tutor here—you will get to know others over time!"

"Only Inner Sect Disciples are truly deemed cultivators!"

"However, you are not there yet. You only hold the title of Inner Sect Disciple, which does not mean you are truly one!"

"Only when you walk out of this Tower Forest will you become a true Inner Sect Disciple, a true cultivator!"

While Yao Che was speaking, Ximen Kankan suddenly said something to Duan Rong, and Duan Rong couldn’t help but chuckle.

Yao Che stood there, and suddenly his gaze pierced like an arrow toward them.

Ximen Kankan and Duan Rong’s smiles instantly froze on their faces.

Yao Che directly pointed to the two of them, coldly saying, "You two, step out!"

They stood there without moving.

"What?! Do I have to come over and pull you out?"

Duan Rong sighed and walked slowly out of the crowd, while Ximen Kankan hung his head and followed behind.

Xiao Yu glared at Ximen Kankan with some frustration.

Seeing the two step forward, Yao Che continued, "And to walk out of this Tower Forest, it is simple—just defeat this family."

The crowd was immediately puzzled.

"Defeat which family?"

Yao Che suddenly raised his head, his breath surged, and let out a long howl to the sky. The howl echoed through the forest, and suddenly there was a disturbance in the forest, as if responding to him.

Next, two huge dark shadows, like falling meteors, leaped to the edge of the dense forest. The ground shook with their landing.

The crowd focused their eyes to see that they were two mighty baboons.

One had a figure as large as a small mountain, with eyes like copper bells, naturally giving off an angry appearance. The other baboon beside it was slightly smaller, reaching only its shoulder.

These were clearly a pair of male and female baboons!

As soon as the two baboons appeared, the smaller baboon that had been beating the drums immediately jumped over, climbing onto the shoulder of the slightly shorter baboon, hopping and shrieking.

Duan Rong looked at the terrifying figures of the baboon pair and clicked his tongue lightly. That little baboon actually had backup; luckily he didn’t do anything to it back then, or it would’ve called its parents over, which would have been quite a problem for him?

Yao Che said, "If you can defeat this baboon family, you can leave the Tower Forest and become true Inner Sect Disciples!"

Seeing the astonishing figures of the two large baboons and the momentum with which they leapt out of the forest, many in the crowd gasped.

"Originally, I planned to spar with this family to give you all an idea of what to expect! But..." Yao Che was saying when he suddenly turned to look at Duan Rong and Ximen Kankan, who had stepped forward.

As Yao Che’s gaze swept over, Duan Rong’s heart sunk.

"It seems two of your fellow disciples are a bit impatient. In that case, let them engage with this family. It’s a rare opportunity; you should all observe carefully!"

The crowd then burst into restrained giggles.
