After taking a moment to appreciate his own progress, Orion decided to continue exploring the forest.
He climbed onto Atlas's back and urged him forward, venturing deeper into the forest. The trees grew thicker and taller, casting long shadows on the ground. The air grew colder, and Orion could feel a sense of foreboding settling over him.
But he pushed these thoughts aside, focusing on his mission. He knew that he had to keep hunting if he wanted to earn enough points to impress the sect. So he scanned the area around him, searching for any signs of movement.
Orion continued his journey through the forest, taking down any beasts that crossed his path. He had already accumulated a substantial number of points, but he wasn't satisfied yet. He knew that he had to continue hunting to improve his skills and increase his reputation within the sect.
Unbeknownst to Orion, there were three disciples who had been following him for some time now. They had been bribed by a subordinate of a senior disciple to take Orion down and steal his points. The group consisted of three disciples, all of them Second-Stage Warrior cultivators.
As they watched Orion from a distance, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the power of his Iron Hide Rhinoceros, Atlas. They had never seen such a powerful beast before, and they knew that taking down Orion would not be an easy task.
"What do you think we should do?" asked one of the disciples. "His beast was strong enough to take down the brown bear. It's no match for us."
The other two disciples looked at each other, unsure of what to do. "Do we even stand a chance against him?" asked another disciple. "He's a Third-Stage Warrior, and we're only Second-Stage Warrior."
The first disciple nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, but there are three of us, and he's alone. I believe that we can defeat him if we work together."
The other two disciples looked hesitant, but they knew that they couldn't back down now. They had already taken the bribe, and they had to follow through with their plan. They nodded in agreement, and the group continued to follow Orion, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
As they followed Orion deeper into the forest, they could feel their nerves starting to fray. They knew that they were taking a huge risk, and if they were caught, they could be expelled from the sect.
But the promise of the bribe was too great, and they continued on, their eyes trained on Orion and his beast.
Orion had been training and exploring the forest for hours, seeking out the most powerful beasts to hunt and earn points for his sect. His mind was completely focused on the task at hand, and he had not noticed the three disciples who were following him from a distance.
The first indication that Orion had that he was being followed was when the system alerted him to their presence.
[Host, there are three people following you. They are all Second-Stage Warriors]
Orion was not surprised by this news. He knew exactly who these people were and what their intentions were. The senior disciple he had angered last month was likely behind this, using his influence to bribe lower-ranked disciples to attack Orion in the forest.
Despite the danger, Orion remained calm and composed. He responded to the system with a simple, "Is that so?" before continuing on his way. He knew that this would happen sooner or later, and he was not afraid of them.
As he walked deeper into the forest, Orion kept his guard up, remaining alert to any potential threats. He knew that the three disciples could attack him at any moment, but he was prepared to defend himself.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of twigs snapping behind him. He turned around quickly and saw the three disciples emerging from the trees, their eyes fixed on him. Orion quickly avoided their attacks.
Orion looked at the three disciples that were attacking him. "So you are the ones who had been ordered to attack me," Orion said, his voice calm and steady. "I must say, I'm disappointed. I thought the senior disciple who sent you would have chosen more skilled disciples."
The three disciples glared at Orion. Their faces twisted with anger. "You won't be talking so arrogantly for long," one of them spat out.
Orion simply smirked, feeling confident in his abilities. "Oh, I think I will," he replied. "I mean, let's be honest here. You three don't stand a chance against me. I've taken down beasts that are much stronger than any of you."
The disciples gritted their teeth, clearly not liking Orion's words. But he continued to mock them, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his taunting. "Come on then, let's see what you've got," he said, gesturing for them to come at him.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom He had seen their status after they launched their attack, and he knew that he was more than capable of taking them down by himself because their status was not as great as he thought.

Orion couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he observed his opponents. The three disciples that had been sent to attack him were clearly not the strongest of the bunch. In fact, their talents were only rated as C-tier, which was considered average at best. Moreover, their beasts were only Elite Dire Wolves, which were not particularly formidable creatures.
Orion was amused by the fact that the senior disciple had sent such weak opponents to attack him. He had expected a more significant challenge, given the enmity that had developed between him and the senior disciple.
The three disciples were visibly fuming with anger as they heard Orion's chuckles. They had hoped to catch him off guard and take him by surprise, but instead, he seemed to find the whole situation amusing. They had been humiliated, and their pride had taken a hit.
