As soon as Bai Rouyun entered the forest, she came across a few groups of students who were coming back with their harvest.

All of them were from classes ranked above the twentieth; most were from the fifteenth to the fifth classes.

The classes above the fifth rank did not need to do missions to have enough points. They were given a large number of points each month by the Institute, and they were also the most revered students, and everyone saw them as being the true future of the Institute.

The ones from class twenty to class sixteen did not often enter Sunset mountain either, as their abilities were usually lacking. Whenever someone entered, it would be a dance with life and death, so no one would come unless absolutely necessary.

The groups noticed that Bai Rouyun was alone, and their eyes could not help but narrow. They could sense that she was relatively weak, but it seemed as if she had no fear as she strolled into the forest.

The strange combination made some puzzled, while others felt as if she had completely disregarded her own safety, and that she did not understand the dangers of the forest and the mountain.

Every year, many would die on the Sunset Mountain. Although the Blue Water Institute had many students, quite a bit of them died throughout the time they had to spend at the institute, and everyone acknowledged that this was necessary to improve.

If the students did not encounter any danger, how could they grow stronger?

Also, those who went to the Sunset Mountain were not amongst the actual geniuses, so even if they died, it was not a big deal.

Among the people who saw Bai Rouyun, only two or three felt that she was not arrogant and willful. They were all feeling as if a strange aura surrounded her, making her look as if she was capable of anything.

They did not know her, but they were very sensitive, and their instincts told them that this woman was far from ordinary, so they took a few extra glances at her, only to feel that she was an enigma.

She was weak, but her aura said otherwise. As such, they were curious about her.

But only if she survived and they met her again in the institute, and thus they just remembered her appearance and vanished into the distance.

Bai Rouyun did not pay any extra attention to these students. She knew that she would seem arrogant as she walked into the Sunset Mountain alone, but she was used to being alone in the past.

She had also realized, while she practiced the Windhowl Slash, that she had retained all her instincts and abilities from her past life.

While she was unable to use some of them now due to her low level, others were easy, such as the ones she had already tried using.

So far, she had experienced using the Flowing Feather Step, the Qi Blade, the Holy Flame Strike, the Windhowl Slash, and the Traceless Kill.

All of them had been executed as if she had trained them thousands of times. Although her body had changed, her experience and instincts came from the soul, and since the body had begun training, it was capable of following her commands without problems.

In fact, because her soul was now complete, she was now much more agile, she did not get worn out as quickly, and the body followed her every command without even a moment of reaction time.

She felt that the world was much more vivid now, and that her senses had heightened.

It was the feeling of being alive.

Bai Rouyun did not waste any time. She strode into the forest, and her hand gripped the sword handle tightly. She knew that there would be danger at every turn, but she did not panic.

The more she panicked, the less likely she was to survive. Being calm at all times was what she needed now.

She had not walked far into the forest before she sensed that something was observing her.

The observer was either a beast with a certain level of intelligence or a human, and Bai Rouyun frowned.

She was not so innocent as to think that the students of the Blue Water Institute were not going to rob one another, and thus she was alert even when facing other students.

Being alone was truly the same as inviting trouble, but she had no one she could travel with, so everything depended on herself.

Xiao Bao, who was within the Primal Chaos Dimension, was also alert. He was an artifact spirit, and while he had seen many masters die gruesome deaths, he had a strange feeling towards Bai Rouyun. There was a bit of worry in his heart, a feeling he had never felt before.

As an artifact spirit, he was used to changing masters. He knew that he had no say in who became his master, and throughout the eons, he had seen masters who became geniuses and stood atop of the world, but he had also seen a lot of them who never had the chance to grow up.

When he looked at Bai Rouyun, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable when he thought about how she might be short-lived.

Bai Rouyun did not know what Xiao Bao was feeling, but she could feel that he was depressed. She felt a little sad when she felt his emotions, but now was not the time to dwell on such feelings. She would take care of Xiao Bao when she found out who it was that was observing her, and what their purpose was.
