Chapter 272: Talent and Talent【Subscribe】_2
```
However, at this moment, the young man's figure was exceptionally agile, surrounded by a breeze, his body light as a feather, making swift and deft maneuvers on the ground and in mid-air, not only perfectly dodging the wind blades spat out by the Black Wind Leopard but also evading its close-range pounces.
After consecutively dodging the Black Wind Leopard's pounces like a matador, the young man seized the opportunity to wave his hand, and the dark green arrow Dharma Tool, which he had somehow retrieved, shot out from his grip and directly into the right eye of the charging Black Wind Leopard.
First, its left ear had been severed, and now its right eye was shot blind; the Black Wind Leopard had gone completely mad.
With its remaining left eye, it glared fiercely at the young man, chasing him and lunging like a rabid dog, trying to tear the human who had wounded it to pieces.
Yet every time, it missed by just a hair, its beast claws only able to smash the young man's afterimages.
Gradually, its face reddened by blood, the Black Wind Leopard began to show signs of physical decline due to excessive blood loss, its speed also slowed down a notch.
And it was this slight delay that quickly cost it its life.
When it pounced and missed once again, the young man, who had been dodging its attacks all along, suddenly leapt onto its back, then his claws fiercely stabbed into its neck, tearing apart the major arteries and windpipe within!
Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling, the body of the Black Wind Leopard hit the ground and began to convulse violently, scalding blood spurting from the wound on its neck and its mouth, quickly staining the ground blood-red.
The instigator, however, had used the moment of impact to leap high up and, like a falling feather, slowly drifted down to the ground nearby.
Clap clap clap!
Applause arose from outside the arena. Zhou Chun was clapping his hands while looking at the young man in the arena with a look of surprise, praising him, "A very exciting fight, an underdog triumph, and all without the aid of powerful Magic Artifacts and Talismans, such a performance is truly astonishing!"
His praise came sincerely from the heart.
If Zhou Chun hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Xu Fu, with only a sixth level Qi Refinement Realm cultivation, could have achieved this feat.
As he said, the three Magic Artifacts Xu Fu used in the fight were none of them top-tier first-order Magic Artifacts.
Nor had Xu Fu used any Talismans throughout the fight.
From beginning to end, Xu Fu relied on only three mid-tier first-order Magic Artifacts: the black Iron Shield Dharma Tool initially used for defense, the dark green arrow Dharma Tool, and a pair of Boot Artifacts he wore on his feet.
Merely relying on these three mid-tier first-order Magic Artifacts, coupled with the first level of the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, Xu Fu had managed to triumph over the stronger Black Wind Leopard, a top-tier first-order Demon Beast, with his mid-Qi Refinement cultivation level.
Such an accomplishment indeed made Zhou Chun marvel.
He himself certainly couldn't have managed that at the time!
Now, faced with Zhou Chun's praise, Xu Fu also promptly knelt on one knee to pay his respects, saying, "Thank you for the Clan Leader's praise. That I was able to do this is all thanks to the Commander's cultivation and teaching."
"I have taught everyone here, but so far only you have achieved this, so there's no need for you to be modest about your own abilities,"
Lin Wan'er said while looking at Zhou Chun, "Clan Leader, as you have seen, Xu Fu's current strength is such that ordinary first-order top-tier Demon Beasts and late Qi Refinement Cultivators might not be his match. This training camp can hardly contain him anymore."
"What Elder Lin means is..."
Zhou Chun looked at Lin Wan'er, somewhat uncertain of her intention.
"If the Clan Leader allows, I would like him to go out into the Cultivation World to gain some life experience, to avoid having his abilities but failing due to a lack of understanding of worldly wisdom!"
Lin Wan'er looked steadily at Zhou Chun, her tone earnest as she revealed her intentions.
Hearing her words, Zhou Chun immediately furrowed his brows.
Although it had never been mentioned before, the original intention of the Zhou Family in training these servant Death Warriors was not for them to kill for the Zhou Family but for them to be competent in searching for resources in the Wasteland Territory in the future.
Hence, apart from combat, the main skills these people learned in the Death Warrior Camp were to identify various Spiritual Objects.
They were defined as warriors and gatherers.

Learning how to deal with other cultivators was not part of the Zhou Family's plan.
After all, it was very likely that these people would never have the chance to interact with cultivators from the outside world until they died!
And although these things were never explicitly stated, with Lin Wan'er's wisdom, she should be able to see through this.
"Does Elder Lin have an affection for talent?"
Zhou Chun looked at Lin Wan'er and asked through a transmission.
"You could say that, the boy not only possesses outstanding Spirit Root Aptitude but is also very clever and intelligent. I have high hopes for his future achievements!"
Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, admitting her fondness and her reluctance to let talent slip away.
Upon hearing her words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
After all, Lin Wan'er was the Zhou Family's Honorary Elder, and this was the first time she had made a suggestion since joining the Zhou Family.
Zhou Chun certainly could not lightly dismiss it.
After much contemplation, Zhou Chun finally nodded lightly and said, "Alright, since Elder Lin values this young man so highly, I will allow him to travel outside for three years. You can arrange everything yourself."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and called out to Xu Fu immediately, "Xu Fu, you heard it too. Now thank the Clan Leader without delay."
Hearing her words, Xu Fu also quickly knelt down and thanked him, "This subordinate thanks the Clan Leader for his mercy and the Commander for her esteem!"
Seeing this, Zhou Chun stepped forward to personally help him up and then patted his shoulder, saying, "Work hard. With your talent, as long as you dedicate your efforts to the Zhou Family in the future, reaching Foundation Establishment will be no difficult task!"
Having said that, he nodded to Lin Wan'er and left first.
Not many days passed, and under the arrangements of Lin Wan'er, Xu Fu left the gates of Zhou Family Mountain, accompanied by an Intelligence Cultivator she had assigned to go and experience the Cultivation World.
As far as Zhou Chun was concerned, no matter how good Xu Fu's talent was, he was still an outsider and not worth paying too much attention to.
He was more concerned about the younger generation within his own family.
These individuals may not have the same talent as Xu Fu, but they were true members of the Zhou Family that could be relied upon.
Currently, there were three members of the younger generation of the Zhou Family that Zhou Chun was paying close attention to: Zhou Xinlan, Zhou Xindie, and Zhou Xintie.
Zhou Xinlan was the son of Zhou Zhengyong and had always been favored by Zhou Chun. Half a year ago, he had shown a not inconsiderable aptitude for alchemy and was now following Zhou Zhengyuan at Hundred Medicines Peak to learn the art of alchemy.
Zhou Xindie had been brought back from Fengguo by Zhou Chun. Possessing the "Triple Yin Physique," Zhou Chun paid more attention to her.
Recently, he had discovered that she took an interest in the Array Dao and seemed to have some talent in this field. Zhou Chun had already granted her special permission to study some of the Formation writings left by the late Second Elder, Zhou Chongshan.
As for Zhou Xintie, this member of the younger generation wasn't much regarded by Zhou Chun at first.
However, just over a year ago, at the age of seventeen, he managed to craft a rough Magic Artifact.
Although it was only a low-grade first-order Magic Artifact that could barely be called as such, considering that Zhou Xintie succeeded after only fifteen failures, his aptitude for Artifact Refining was also considered extremely considerable.
When Zhou Chun learned of this, he immediately felt as if he had found a treasure.
After personally inspecting the Magic Artifact crafted by Zhou Xintie, he decided to cultivate this younger relative as the Zhou Family's future chief Artifact Refiner. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
Not only did he approve a large amount of Artifact Refining materials for him, but to facilitate his crafting in the future, he also allowed him to form a contract with a newly born Redflame Vajra Monkey.
It is important to note that although the Redflame Vajra Monkeys had successfully reproduced within the Zhou Family, their numbers had never increased significantly.
Up to now, the total number of Redflame Vajra Monkeys in the Zhou Family was only six.
In short, for those younger generations of the Zhou Family who truly had potential for cultivation, Zhou Chun was absolutely generous with his investments.
