The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 854: Chapter 548: An Ant Gazing at the Sky! (Part 3)

The white-haired teacher uncle looked at him and asked seriously:

"Wu Ji, do you really want to go on a training journey alone?"

His lips curved slightly, revealing those clear sky-like eyes beneath his sunglasses:

"I’ll be back before the national tournament and carve the ninth Dao Mark."

"It’s not a matter of time."

"If others can do it, why can’t I?"

The teacher uncle frowned—he was all too aware of this guy’s shadow.

He was a natural spirit devotee, having also condensed True Intent, utterly a guy who goes his own way to the extreme.

If left unchecked, with his personality, he would surely go wherever there’s fun, disregarding distinctions between the Outer Realm or Inner Realm, foreign or domestic.

However...

In these increasingly chaotic times, wherever there’s fun, danger surely lurks.

He is the next generation’s young Celestial Master, a legendary prodigy who condensed True Intent early, how could he possibly let him languish in danger?

Yet, at this moment.

The present Celestial Master, master of Zhang Wu Ji, opened the eyes left in the Jade Capital avatar, with countless lightning lights floating within, akin to a deity.

"Yes."

"You know the rules then."

As soon as the words fell.

The main hall of Jade Capital suddenly darkened.

In the next instant...

The Tier Six [Abyssal Demon Jiao] King, over a hundred meters in length, covered in jet-black scales, suddenly tore through space, crashing down with overwhelming demonic might.

Despite being simulated and not a living creature, it carried the majesty on par with a real Beast King!

Zhang Wu Ji looked at the roaring Demon Jiao, his face showing no fear, merely raising his left hand slowly, forming a seal single-handedly.

The next instant.

A crown phantom representing the highest [True Martial Great Emperor] of Daoism appeared above his head.

A towering ghost god appeared behind him, and his right hand gripped a treasure sword that sparkled with lightning.

These were his two Contracted Spirit Beasts.

He shouted lightly: "Thunder, come!"

Thousands of lightning bolts crashed down from the heavens!

...

Imperial University.

RUMBLE!!

ROAR——

In the overlapping Domains, the dragon’s roar seemed to shake heaven and earth, endless wind and thunder overwhelmed the opposing Domain, a massive firebird was relentlessly driven back by punches, eventually the Domain collapsed, falling to the ground.

A young man clad in a purple and gold Dragon Scale battle armor, exuding an aura several times more formidable and domineering than a year ago, calmly gazed at the Six-Star instructor who had separated from his Contracted Beast King, slowly retracting his fists.

At this moment, the eight colored Dragon Patterns on his body were shining brilliantly.

It was Yin Long.

The True Master instructor put away his old partner, his face full of a wry smile and helplessness.

"...I lost."

The spectators from afar seemed to have expected this, yet couldn’t help but sigh with emotion in their eyes.

Everyone knew that Yin Long’s talent was [Rising Dragon Transformation]. Once defeated, his Dao heart would be damaged, beyond redemption.

At first, almost everyone didn’t think highly of him, who was defeated by Lin Guang, believing he’d stop there.

Yet after enrolling, he was almost eager to constantly challenge that [Phoenix].

Arguably, in the entire contemporary Great Xia, Imperial Capital included, he and another were two innate Golden Talent holders, the latter even having inherited part of the previous Fire Division Lord’s [Phoenix Celestial King]’s legacy.

Yin Long lost every time.

Yet he acted as if nothing had happened, growing stronger each time, at an astonishing speed, and now he could even defeat this Six-Star instructor without much effort.

How far was he from the golden threshold?

Probably very close.

However, at this moment, his eyes looked towards the sky, showing an intrigued smile.

A year ago, that guy killed four Six-Star Peaks, even compared to Phoenix, that guy was almost not much worse.

Truly...

Looking forward to battling that guy again.

He revealed an excited smile.

...

Imperial Capital.

Celestial Secret Department.

A well-dressed, refined-looking old man was solemnly gazing at the light screen in front of him, at the highest-level encrypted war report just returned from the number 7 battle zone of the Imperial Capital’s Outer Battlefield.

The content of the war report was simple.

A Tier Six Peak Demon King of the [Decayed Smoke Demon] had been completely eradicated last night along with its 30,000 demon army and the entire demon nest.

And the attached photo in the war report lacked any gruesome battle video, there was only one slightly blurry static photograph taken by high-altitude reconnaissance Spiritual Artifact.

The photo’s background was a scarlet red ruin, like a purgatory.

A girl dressed in snow-white clothes, with striking red hair, calmly walked across the ruin.

Her clothes were spotless, her expression so calm it carried a hint of boredom, as if the purgatory-like scene behind her was entirely unrelated to her.

After quite a while, the old man looking at the photograph sighed deeply.

[Scarlet Princess] Phoenix.

"This is already the ninth one..."

...

Yumen Province, Outer Battlefield.

Eastern Third Defensive Zone.

A youth clad in entirely pitch-black Qilin heavy armor was calmly standing atop a mountain of corpses consisting of at least a hundred Tier Five Demon Race bodies.

He was the Heaven-slaying Demon.

A Three-Star wartime reporter, overwhelmed with excitement, endured the nauseating stench of blood and demonic qi around as he brought a recording Spiritual Artifact up to him.

"Colonel Heaven-slaying Demon, what are your thoughts on leading this great victory?"

Heaven-slaying Demon slowly turned his head, his face hidden behind Qilin Face Armor, glancing at the camera, and spoke with a tone filled with a show-off vibe yet irrefutable:

"These Demon Race, in seeing me, are like a frog in a well seeing the moon in the sky."

"!!! Well said!"

He had another phrase unsaid.

But compared to that person...

—seeing Lin Guang, was like an ant looking towards the sky.
