The next morning, bright and early.

Downstairs in the dormitory area.

Chen Fan and Bai Xiaoluo met up.

Then, the two of them headed straight for the Soul Beast Hunting Ground located in the Eastern Zone.

Today, under Bai Xiaoluo's guidance, Chen Fan would enter the Soul Beast Hunting Ground ahead of schedule!

Bai Xiaoluo called it a reconnaissance mission!

On the way to the Soul Beast Hunting Ground, Bai Xiaoluo also explained some important things Chen Fan needed to be aware of once inside.

As they walked and talked, about half an hour passed before they finally arrived at the entrance of the Soul Beast Hunting Ground.

Chen Fan was stunned by the sight before him.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoluo smiled and said, "Junior Brother, isn't it impressive?"

Hearing Bai Xiaoluo's words, Chen Fan nodded blankly.

In front of him stood a towering ancient city gate!

On the gate, the words "Soul Beast Hunting Ground" were carved in blood-red characters.

Below the gate was a bustling entrance to the Soul Beast Hunting Ground, a full hundred meters wide.

On either side of the gate stretched high walls that extended so far they seemed endless!

Standing before such a gate, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

At that moment, Bai Xiaoluo spoke again, "Junior Brother, did you know?"

"This is actually the true entrance to our Demon City Martial School!"

After taking in the grandeur of the gate, Bai Xiaoluo led Chen Fan to the right side of the entrance.

Seeing this, Chen Fan asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, aren't we going in?"

Bai Xiaoluo explained, "Junior Brother, without a mentor, you can't pass through that entrance."

"Huh?"

This left Chen Fan truly bewildered.

If he couldn't pass through the entrance, how was he supposed to get into the Soul Beast Hunting Ground?

Bai Xiaoluo said nothing more and continued walking with Chen Fan.

After walking for about five hundred meters, they finally stopped.

Bai Xiaoluo pointed to a section of the high wall that was a bit uneven and said, "Even though we can't use the entrance, you can climb over the wall!"

Hearing Bai Xiaoluo's words, Chen Fan was truly taken aback.

Climbing over the wall, seriously?

It's just a trip to the Soul Beast Hunting Ground, why make it seem like a thief's mission?

Seeing Chen Fan's incredulous expression, Bai Xiaoluo explained the reason.

It turned out that the school, considering the generally weaker strength of freshmen, had set a rule for their safety: freshmen without a mentor were not allowed to enter the Soul Beast Hunting Ground!

But there are always exceptions!

Every batch of freshmen includes a few with talents and strengths far beyond others.

For these individuals, the school tacitly allowed them to enter the Soul Beast Hunting Ground on their own.

However, a rule is a rule, and no one could openly break it!

Thus, the wall before Chen Fan was born.

The dents on the wall were marks left by previous freshmen who climbed over it!

Even Bai Xiaoluo had climbed this wall during his freshman year!

After hearing this, Chen Fan was astonished!

Demon City Martial School truly had unique ways of training its students.

At this point, Bai Xiaoluo also said, "Junior Brother, don't underestimate this wall!"

"Though it's only ten meters high, without some real skills, you won't make it over!"

With that, Bai Xiaoluo encouraged Chen Fan to give it a try!

Chen Fan approached the wall and began his first attempt.

But after just a few steps, he failed.

Chen Fan found that although there were many dents in the wall, they were very shallow!

It was quite difficult to use them for leverage.

He then started his second attempt.

This time, he utilized his Soul Power.

Step by step, he climbed steadily upward.

Unfortunately, halfway up, Chen Fan fell again, landing heavily on the ground.

Lying on the ground, Chen Fan didn't get up immediately but carefully examined the wall before him.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoluo was covering his mouth, laughing quietly.

He hadn't told Chen Fan that since the wall's creation, only one person had climbed it using their own strength!

And that person was the true creator of the wall, the third principal of Demon City Martial School, Bai Yangming!

But very few people knew about this.

Bai Xiaoluo had only learned of it by chance.

On the other side, after reflecting on his attempts, Chen Fan began a new try.

However, he still only managed to climb halfway before falling again.

Chen Fan looked at Bai Xiaoluo, who had a peculiar expression, and asked, "Senior Brother, how did you climb up back then?"

Bai Xiaoluo replied with a smile, "Of course, I climbed up step by step!"

Chen Fan: "..."

Since Bai Xiaoluo wouldn't say more, Chen Fan stopped asking and continued his attempts.

At that moment, another group arrived.

The leader, an older student, widened his eyes when he saw Chen Fan panting as he climbed the wall barehanded.

"Wow, impressive, climbing the wall barehanded!"

Then he noticed Bai Xiaoluo standing not far away, laughing.

"Whoa, why is Bai the Trickster here too!"

With curiosity, the older student and his two junior sisters approached.

Seeing someone arriving, Bai Xiaoluo thought this wasn't good.

The key issue was that he knew this person!

After a brief "greeting," Bai Xiaoluo asked, "Wooden Head, what are you doing here?"

The older student, called Wooden Head by Bai Xiaoluo, wasn't offended and replied with a smile, "What else? I'm here to help my two junior sisters climb the wall!"

In his words, "two junior sisters" was emphasized heavily.

Bai Xiaoluo understood the implication—showing off, of course!

But times had changed; he now had a junior brother too.

Bai Xiaoluo retorted disdainfully, "Look at you, showing off!"

"See that? That's my junior brother!"

He pointed at Chen Fan, who was climbing the wall, and said proudly.

The older student was taken aback, then clicked his tongue, "Bai Xiaoluo, you're ruthless!"

"Tricking even your own junior brother!"

Bai Xiaoluo pretended not to hear!

You're the trickster, your whole family are tricksters!

Meanwhile, Chen Fan, still climbing the wall, fell once more.

Bai Xiaoluo shouted, "Junior Brother, keep it up!"

"Senior Brother believes in you!"

The older student watched Bai Xiaoluo's shameless display and couldn't help but comment, "Aren't you afraid of karma for tricking your junior brother like this?"

Bai Xiaoluo shot him a glare, and the older student obediently shut his mouth!

He was about to take his two junior sisters into the Soul Beast Hunting Ground and didn't dare provoke Bai the Trickster at this moment!
