After a long pause, the Thousand Demon King hesitatingly said, "God… Divine Realm? Boss, how can you be so sure? If that person were from the Divine Realm, they should have already obtained the God Position!"
Chi King also expressed some disbelief, "Yeah, that human we just encountered seemed powerful, but I didn't see any sign of him having attained the God Position."
Di Tian swept them with his cold gaze and countered, "Then how do you explain the nine million-year Soul Rings he has?"
The Thousand Demon King and the other ferocious beasts all opened their mouths but didn't know how to refute, "This…"
Nine million-year Soul Rings, that meant he had to have killed at least nine million-year soul beasts, each of whose power was infinitely close to that of a God, even possibly stronger than their boss!
So, by that logic, could this kid really have had the ability to hunt million-year soul beasts when he was only level 10? That's preposterous, isn't it?
Gradually, the idea that Qian Yu came from the Divine Realm began to take root in everyone's hearts...
Meanwhile, Bi Ji, with worry flickering in her beautiful eyes, turned to Di Tian and asked, "Di Tian, should we still unleash the Beast Tide?"
Di Tian said coldly, "Of course, but not just yet!"
They needed to amass their power, ready to shatter the humans' defenses in an instant!
…
A grey-white vortex slowly appeared in the middle of Shrek Outer Court...
Inside it, Qian Yu hurled Huo Yuhao out, then stepped out of the Nether Vortex himself...
Huo Yuhao, who had fallen to the ground, quickly stood up. Instead of showing any annoyance on his face, he looked at Qian Yu with gratitude, "Thank you, Qian Yu."
If it hadn't been for Qian Yu, he might have already been torn to shreds by those ferocious beasts...
Qian Yu gave him an indifferent glance, "No need to thank me. Elder Xuan asked me to bring you back!"
The Spirit Soul in Huo Yuhao's hands was quite interesting, but it required a soul beast sacrifice, and he no longer had a suitable soul ring slot...
Suddenly, the words Di Tian had said before echoed violently in Huo Yuhao's mind...
Why was Di Tian so sure that he could never become a God?
Was it a guess? Or had he done something to him?
The Skydream Ice Silkworm inside his mind spoke up, "Yuhao, what Di Tian said before was probably just to scare you. If he did something to you, then it can only be that scale that can't be removed..."
The Ice Emperor suggested, "I think you should let Qian Yu take a look at it. With his power to contend with Di Tian, perhaps he can solve the problem with that scale for you."
After weighing the pros and cons, Huo Yuhao looked towards Qian Yu, who was about to leave, and hurriedly called out with a plea, "Qian Yu, wait a moment, could you help me look at this thing?"
As he spoke, he revealed the glowing scale on his chest...
At his words, Qian Yu paused, his gaze shifting to the scale on Huo Yuhao's chest...
With just a casual divine sensing, he knew it was Di Tian's scale, completely identical to the latter's aura...
But strangely, mixed within the scale was a force unknown even to Qian Yu, who could not determine its nature...
He spoke impassively, "It's just a scale, why don't you just pull it out?"
Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile, "Qian Yu, this wasn't placed by me; it was something Di Tian did while I was unconscious..."
If he could have pulled it out so easily, he wouldn't have asked Qian Yu for help...
To make it clear to Qian Yu, Huo Yuhao burst forth his Soul Power, attempting to remove the scale, but upon touching it, couldn't make it budge in the slightest!
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's face was covered in sweat...
It seemed to be putting a considerable strain on his spirit...
Qian Yu raised an eyebrow, clearly impatient. "What a hassle!"
He couldn't even pull off a scale, was Huo Yuhao really that useless?
Having said that, he extended a hand, and countless streams of golden Divine Power surged from the palm, fiercely tugging at the scale on Huo Yuhao's chest...
Huo Yuhao's face twisted in pain, his body as if struck by a heavy blow, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a "puh"...
At that moment, in between two of Qian Yu's fingers, there was now a scale flashing with dark light...
He casually tossed it, pocketed it after feeling there was no issue, glanced at Huo Yuhao, then turned and left...
As Huo Yuhao regained his senses from the intense pain, he saw the scale from his chest missing; he looked up at Qian Yu's retreating back and said, "Thank... thank you."
Although the process was rough, at least the scale was removed. Otherwise, he would always feel uneasy with something belonging to someone else in his body!
The Skydream Ice Silkworm clicked its tongue, "Damn, how strong is this guy? To pluck Di Tian's Outrage just like that...!"
The Ice Emperor sighed, "Yuhao, you should depart for the far northern lands tomorrow, the Aquipeia Forest is no longer suitable for you to obtain Soul Rings..."
Knowing the dangers of the Aquipeia Forest all too well, Huo Yuhao did not object and nodded in agreement, "Mm!"
...
The next day, the people from Tang Sect had also gathered together early...
Bei Bei looked at Tang Ya beside him, who had dark circles under her eyes, and said with concern, "Xiao Ya, did you stay up late again organizing teaching materials and not sleep well?"
Tang Ya yawned and took out six charts from her storage soul tool, handing them to the people from Tang Sect...
She explained, "Yeah! I made these overnight. Can everyone check if the allocation on here is okay?"
The people from Tang Sect took them one by one, examined them closely, and Xu Sanshi nodded, "I think it's fine, this way it won't take up too much of everyone's time."
Ma Xiaotao pondered, "But for the knowledge about the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect at night, only Bei Bei and Tang Ya can teach, we don't know anything about it."
Jiang Nannan said with a smile, "I think it's also good, and Xiao Ya has even purposefully divided the male and female into one group! I believe Qian Yu will have to come even if he doesn't want to, right?"
Tang Ya smiled, thinking if Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao were put together, who knows what trouble that might stir up...
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared before them...
It was Qian Yu, who had just woken up...
He looked at the people from Tang Sect and said, "Sister Tang Ya, what are you all talking about?"
Tang Ya didn't rush to answer but took out another chart and handed it to Qian Yu, "Here, Qian Yu, you'll understand after you see it!"
After Qian Yu took it, he briefly glanced over the teacher allocation, saw that he and Tang Wutong were assigned the same day, and understood Tang Ya's intention...
He said helplessly, "Sister Tang Ya, your purpose is too obvious."
It was clear she intended to make him attend the classes! He would bet that if he refused...
Tang Ya would have Huo Yuhao replace him...
Tang Ya blinked her beautiful eyes playfully, "Isn't it because we're worried our specially invited Teacher from Tang Sect is just loafing around?"
Xu Sanshi said earnestly, "Exactly, exactly. Qian Yu, as a level 9 soul-guidance master with true knowledge and skills, you have to let Tang Sect make good use of you, right?"
Jiang Nannan teased, "So, this means Wu Tong and Qian Yu have class this morning and afternoon? Then we'll be leaving first, you two do your best!"
