Chapter 70: First Encounter

'This exam... seems a bit easier than I imagined, doesn't it?'

After half a day, Li Heng felt that neither the soul beasts he'd encountered nor the "tests" presented by the climate and terrain were particularly difficult. In fact, he'd had a relatively easy time.

Though he felt it was easy, Li Heng didn't let it get to his head and continued to go about his tasks in an orderly manner.

After gathering firewood, Li Heng stripped off his soaked school uniform and laid it out by the fire to dry. He set some damp wood to dry beside it as well.

He placed his Empty Cicada Longsword within easy reach of his right hand, ready for anything. Stuck in the ground nearby were two smoothly sharpened wooden sticks.

He was roasting wild chicken and rabbit legs over the fire for lunch.

Before entering the Desolate Moon Islands, Li Heng had considered two potential problems: a shortage of fresh water and his fire-starter wearing out.
