"We of the Mountain and Sea Academy have been suppressed by the Illusion Sky Academy for far too long." Liu Yu sighed, his gaze falling on Feng Yuqin. "If Feng Yuqin can truly bring hope to the younger generation of our academy this time, we should protect this genius well."
"Yes," Kou Chengzhi nodded in agreement. "I don't deny that many geniuses fail to reach their full potential and wither away prematurely. But..."
After thinking for a while, Kou Chengzhi said, "Turn off the external screens, and those inside the academy too."
"Isn't this... a bit inappropriate?" a teacher said. "There are not only Feng Yuqin's team but also other teams on those screens."
Liu Yu also nodded. "I know you're trying to protect them, but... it's too late now. Feng Yuqin has attracted attention in these two rounds. At least the Illusion Sky Academy must have received the news."
Kou Chengzhi sighed. "Fine. Then us old folks will have to work a bit harder and keep a closer eye on this girl to prevent her from being harmed."
It was just that... the geniuses of the Mountain and Sea Academy had been harmed before.
They... were afraid.
Feng Yuqin had no idea that these people were worried about her premature demise.
Her attention was now fully on the Fire Dragon Herbs.
These Fire Dragon Herbs were growing very well.
She wondered if it was because they were in the Divine Realm.
Feng Yuqin discovered that these Fire Dragon Herbs contained an extra type of energy.
To be precise, one more type of energy.
This energy could make pills better.
Whether it was the medicinal properties, the duration of the medicinal effects, or the success rate of pill refinement, everything would improve.
And her spatial realm didn't have such Fire Dragon Herbs.
So she planned to gather a large amount and have Xiaojin plant them in the spatial realm.
That way, she would have a stockpile the next time she needed them.
An hour passed quickly.
Feng Yuqin quietly gathered a large amount of Fire Dragon Herbs.
Even Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian, led by Xiaojin, had gathered a lot.
The ones Feng Yuqin collected were for herself.
The ones Xiaojin led Zhao Yuanyuan and the others to collect were divided into three parts.
Zhao Yuanyuan, Dong Yaxian, and Xiaojin each got one part.
When they reached the fourth level, a dangerous aura assailed them.
"Master, there are so many demonic beasts," Xiaojin frowned. "But I can also sense the aura of many treasures."
Feng Yuqin knew that if Xiaojin said so, it meant that these demonic beasts were all treasures.
Apart from their demon cores, some parts of more powerful demonic beasts could be used as materials for refining weapons or pills.
That was why Xiaojin could sense the aura of treasures.
The task of the fourth level was to directly find the entrance to the next level.
So if her guess was right, they would have to deal with these demonic beasts.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, these demonic beasts were not weak.
"Do you have enough Rejuvenation Pills?" Feng Yuqin turned to ask Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian behind her.
The two nodded in unison.
"It might be quite dangerous next. Get mentally prepared," Feng Yuqin said.
"We know about this level, so we've prepared enough pills," Zhao Yuanyuan and the others never expected.
If they hadn't met Feng Yuqin, they might have had enough pills.
But they met Feng Yuqin, this variable, and it was hard to say if the pills in their hands would be enough.
Less than five breaths after Zhao Yuanyuan and the others finished speaking, the demonic beasts appeared.
And they didn't appear one by one.
Five of them appeared at once.
Seeing the demonic beasts, Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian were stunned. "Wh... what's going on? Don't the demonic beasts appear one by one?"
Because the demonic beasts in this level were relatively powerful.
So they remembered that in the past, the demonic beasts always appeared one by one.
Or a group would deal with one demonic beast.
What was going on with the appearance of five now?
Were they going to be eliminated?
Feng Yuqin frowned as she watched the approaching demonic beasts and had a guess in her mind.
Then she heard that familiar voice again.
As if answering Zhao Yuanyuan's question, the voice said, "Someone in your group can fight beyond their level, and there's also a spiritual pet. So there will always be five demonic beasts in this level."
Feng Yuqin: "..."
Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian: "..."
Five demonic beasts each time. How many times could they handle them?
"Although I have a spiritual pet, but... I... I can't fight beyond my level," Zhao Yuanyuan was stunned.
Dong Yaxian's voice also trembled slightly. "I... I can't fight beyond my level either."
Then, the two looked at Feng Yuqin in unison.
Fighting beyond one's level was actually very difficult.
Very few in the younger generation could do it.
Feng Yuqin turned around and saw the two looking at her with long faces. She touched her nose embarrassedly. "Sorry, I've implicated you."
Hearing Feng Yuqin's admission, the two immediately put away their worried expressions.
"It's okay. At worst, we'll be eliminated," Zhao Yuanyuan said.
Dong Yaxian also chimed in. "Yes. If we're eliminated, we'll come back next time."
"These two kids..." Uncle Zhao said. "They used to argue every time they met. This is the first time I've seen them so unanimous."
Dong Ruiming also knew that his daughter and Zhao Yuanyuan used to quarrel every time they met.
Sometimes they would even fight directly.
Now seeing them like this, his gaze fell on Feng Yuqin. "It's all because of Feng Yuqin..."
Uncle Zhao nodded. "So this Feng Yuqin is not simple. She can do what we couldn't, making these two kids get along peacefully."
"Don't worry. I won't let you be eliminated," Feng Yuqin said confidently, and an Evil-Slaying Sword appeared in her hand.
The others were stunned when they saw the Evil-Slaying Sword.
"Am I seeing things? Is this the Evil-Slaying Sword?"
"Hasn't the Evil-Slaying Sword been missing for over ten thousand years? Why is it here?"
"Yeah, and it's in the hands of such a young girl?"
In the eyes of many, at Feng Yuqin's age, she was just a young girl.
Although she was already a mother of three.
But to others, she just looked like a young girl.
These people judged others mainly by their bone age.
In the Divine Realm, generally, people got married after the age of 25.
It was completely different from the Tianyuan Continent where people got married at 15.
"The Evil-Slaying Sword?" The teachers of the Mountain and Sea Academy were also stunned.
"Just who is this Feng Yuqin?" a teacher was excited when he saw the Evil-Slaying Sword.
Because he had never had a satisfactory weapon.
Now seeing the Evil-Slaying Sword in the hands of such a young person.
It was impossible not to be envious...
Feng Yuqin had no other choice.
The demonic beasts here were relatively powerful.
If she used other weapons, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Then they would just be eliminated.
