After more than half a day, and with the excellent healing Dan provided by Zhang Hao, the injuries of these Tianwu College students recovered quite well. Soon, they recovered by more than half.
Zhang Hao was preparing to go out and hunt some wild game. Although he was a Martial King, he had not reached the Realm of Bigu (abstaining from grains). He still needed to eat.
Zhang Hao had just left the cave. He discovered a wild boar and was preparing to kill it and take it back. Suddenly, shouts of killing came from the front. A girl covered in blood ran from a distance. Behind her, seven or eight Martial Warriors were chasing.
Zhang Hao looked at the girl's clothing, which seemed like that of a Nine Phoenix Academy Martial Warrior.
This Nine Phoenix Academy, Zhang Hao knew, was the strongest College among the Three Great Academies.
It is said that the Nine Phoenix Academy is the most likely to replace Tianwu College and become one of the Three Great Academies. However, the biggest characteristic of this Nine Phoenix Academy is that it only recruits female students.
Legend has it that the Nine Phoenix Academy was jointly founded by nine Martial Grandmasters. In the beginning, it was known as one of the Four Great Academies along with Tianwu College, Changfeng Academy, and Tianba Academy. It was very powerful. However, later, for unknown reasons, this Nine Phoenix Academy gradually declined.
Looking at those chasing the Nine Phoenix Academy student from behind, they were actually three Changfeng Academy students.
Zhang Hao was slightly surprised. How did this Changfeng Academy start chasing Nine Phoenix Academy students? Zhang Hao had heard before that these three major forces seemed to mind their own business. Could there have been some change at this moment?
While he was pondering, the girl seemed to see someone in front. She noticed that Zhang Hao's clothing was Tianwu College attire, not Changfeng Academy or Tianba Academy student clothing. She was immediately overjoyed and shouted, "Senior Apprentice Brother, help!"
Zhang Hao was annoyed. He was just hunting for wild game and had no intention of being nosy. However, seeing that the girl wasn't bad-looking and the three ferocious-looking guys behind her, Zhang Hao suddenly felt pity for the fair sex.
Soon, those three Martial Warriors had caught up to the girl.
The girl was very clever and hid behind Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao glanced at the girl and said, "You're quite impolite."
"Kid, you dare to be nosy. You're courting death!"
The three Changfeng Academy students rushed towards Zhang Hao together.
Three people, three swords, carrying fierce sword lights, slashed down towards Zhang Hao.
"Courting death!"
"Divine Travel!"
Zhang Hao let out a cold snort, his figure slightly swayed. Immediately, the three swords struck empty air.
The three Changfeng Academy students were slightly startled when their swords struck empty air. Zhang Hao, however, had already swayed behind the three of them.
"Die!"
Zhang Hao unleashed three punches, killing them. They landed directly on the three people.
"Crunch!"
"Crunch!"
"Crunch!"
All three Changfeng Academy students were killed by the punches.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for killing Shi Hai, gaining 100000 experience points, 10000 True Qi, and 10 Frenzy Energy."
...
After finishing.
Zhang Hao looked at the Nine Phoenix Academy girl and asked, "Junior Apprentice Sister, what is your name, and why are these people trying to kill you?"
The girl looked at Zhang Hao gratefully and said, "My name is Han Xin, and I am a Nine Phoenix Academy student. These people are from Changfeng Academy. They are chasing me to snatch our clearance tokens. Senior Apprentice Brother, you are from Tianwu College, right? Please help us. Many Junior Apprentice Sisters from our Nine Phoenix Academy are being chased by Tianba Academy and Changfeng Academy."
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "No interest. I have no relation to you, so why should I help you?"
"Senior Apprentice Brother, how can you be so heartless? When your Tianwu College people were being chased by Changfeng Academy and Tianba Academy, our Nine Phoenix Academy people provided cover for you. Otherwise, how could so many of your Tianwu College people have escaped?"
Zhang Hao was slightly stunned, but what Han Xin said was also true. Nine Phoenix Academy was indeed one of the few forces among the students of so many small Colleges in the Demon King Forest that did not make things difficult for Tianwu College.
"Alright! You lead the way. I'll help as much as I can." Zhang Hao looked at Han Xin and said seriously.
Han Xin was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Okay, Senior Apprentice Brother, I'll lead the way."
Zhang Hao followed Han Xin for ten li (Chinese mile). Intense shouts of killing came from the front. Changfeng Academy and Tianba Academy students had surrounded a girl. That girl was the leader of Nine Phoenix Academy, Tian Xinran.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, that is our leader. To cover for us, she stayed behind alone, and she is almost finished now." Han Xin pointed at the besieged girl and said anxiously.
Looking at Tian Xinran, Zhang Hao suddenly admired her courage. He said to Han Xin, "Wait for me here. I'll go and save your leader now."
At this moment, the battle in the field was nearing its end.
"Tian Xinran, surrender!" Duan Tianliu looked at Tian Xinran smugly and said.
Tian Xinran was also seriously injured at this moment. On her exquisitely beautiful face, she looked at Duan Tianliu with a slightly hateful expression and said, "Duan Tianliu, you are despicable. If you have guts, let's have a one-on-one fight."
Duan Tianliu said smugly, "Why should I fight you one-on-one? You are surrounded by our people right now. Do you think you have any room to resist?"
Tian Xinran was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but being surrounded by more than a hundred students from the two Colleges at this moment, she was helpless.
Just at this moment, a figure descended from a high place. He said coldly, "So many grown men bullying one girl together, as a fellow male, I feel ashamed for you."
Zhang Hao struck down two Tianba Academy students beside Tian Xinran with a single sword strike, sending them flying. He said to Tian Xinran, "You are Tian Xinran, right?"
Tian Xinran did not recognize Zhang Hao and asked him somewhat confusedly, "Who are you?"
Zhang Hao said to Tian Xinran, "Han Xin asked me to come and save you."
Upon hearing this, Tian Xinran asked joyfully, "Did Han Xin break out?"
"She was originally close to death, but she was lucky and met me, so I saved her." Zhang Hao casually said as he sent three Changfeng Academy Martial Warriors flying with a single sword strike.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xinran's heart was filled with joy. She said gratefully to Zhang Hao, "Thank you, that's great."
At this moment, Duan Tianliu and Mu Chengfeng also discovered Zhang Hao, this uninvited guest. They were immediately overjoyed.
Mu Chengfeng looked at Zhang Hao and roared angrily, "Zhang Hao, I was just worried I couldn't find you, and you actually delivered yourself to my doorstep."
Mu Chengfeng shouted to the Tianba Academy students beside him, "He is Zhang Hao, kill him!"
Dozens of Tianba Academy students rushed towards Zhang Hao together.
"Tian Xinran, you go first. Han Xin is waiting for you on that tree. I'll cover the rear." Zhang Hao said to Tian Xinran.
"But you alone..." Tian Xinran hesitated slightly.
Zhang Hao smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I'm already used to this kind of situation."
"Alright then, take care of yourself."
Tian Xinran was seriously injured at this moment and couldn't hold on, so she no longer acted coy.
