I, Lin Guanhuo, Am Willing to Go!

The following days were unexpectedly peaceful.

Lin Guanhuo's daily routine consisted of patrolling the few streets around the Demon Suppressing Division. His days were relatively leisurely.

Most of the time, Lin Guanhuo stayed in his small courtyard, cultivating in seclusion.

Time flowed like water, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning, Lin Guanhuo sat cross-legged on his bed and slowly opened his eyes.

On the floor in front of him, more than a dozen empty porcelain bottles were scattered.

These were the ten bottles of Qi Augmenting Pills he had bought from the Wonderful Pill Workshop, plus the five given as a Reward by the Demon Suppressing Division. A total of fifteen bottles of pills had been consumed like candy beans by him over the past month.

This extremely extravagant method of cultivation by "popping pills" also yielded astonishing results.

"Hoo..."

Lin Guanhuo let out a soft breath, feeling the surging energy within his body.

After a month of arduous cultivation, his martial arts Realm had reached Body Tempering sixth-grade!

Two levels broken in one month!

'It won't be too long before I reach the Muscle-Tendon Realm Master...'

Lin Guanhuo clenched his fist, feeling the surging power like the sea, his heart calm.

"Dong dong dong."

Just then, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

Lin Guanhuo restrained his aura and pushed the door open.

A guard in standard Soft Armor stood at the door: "Lord Lin, the Commander has issued an order, summoning all registered Class A and Class B servants of the Division to the Front Hall for a meeting."

"Understood."

Lin Guanhuo nodded, picked up his long saber, and strode out.

In less than a moment, Lin Guanhuo arrived at the Front Hall.

The atmosphere here was solemn. It was usually the place where the Demon Suppressing Division held its meetings.

At this moment, Commander Zhou Tian was leisurely sipping tea from a teacup on the Grand Tutor Chair above the spacious hall.

Beside him, Steward Liu and several other stewards stood respectfully with their hands clasped.

Below in the hall, quite a few people had already gathered.

They were the backbone of the Blackwater Division. Looking around, most were elites at Body Tempering third-grade and fourth-grade, and there were even a few seasoned experts with deep auras who had long reached fifth-grade but hadn't yet been officially recognized.

Lin Guanhuo entered the front hall and casually found a spot to stand.

Just then.

"Brother Lin."

A familiar greeting came from his side.

Turning his head, it was Shen Yifan.

After a month, he had also stabilized his Body Tempering third-grade Realm.

However, at this moment, looking at Lin Guanhuo beside him, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Shen Yifan could feel the vital energy and blood within Lin Guanhuo.

It had actually improved further since the last Monthly Exam a month ago!!

"Brother Lin..."

Shen Yifan lowered his voice, "Your aura is stronger than a few days ago... Could it be that you've broken through again?"

"Just luck, Body Tempering sixth-grade," Lin Guanhuo replied calmly.

"Six... sixth-grade??"

Upon hearing this, if it weren't for Commander Zhou being present, Shen Yifan would have probably cried out in surprise...

Sixth-grade!

Two levels in one month!

This meant that as long as he reached the Monthly Exam, Lin Guanhuo could be officially recognized!!

The sliver of ambition Shen Yifan still held in his heart.

At this moment, it completely vanished.

What was exaggeration?

This was exaggeration!

In two months, he had achieved the lifelong Goal he pursued...

"Heh..."

Shen Yifan shook his head bitterly and muttered self-deprecatingly, "I originally thought I could compete with Brother Lin, but now it seems I was overestimating myself and looking at the sky from the bottom of a well."

"Brother Shen, you are too kind."

Lin Guanhuo's expression was calm. "Your talent is not bad, and you will surely achieve something in the future."

Lin Guanhuo's words were sincere. Shen Yifan had good talent and was also quite upright.

Although they had competed before, it was all a gentleman's contest, with no insidious or cunning actions.

Just then.

Steward Liu, who had been standing beside Commander Zhou, took a step forward and then bowed to Zhou Tian, whispering, "Commander, almost everyone is here."

"Ah... good."

Hearing this, Zhou Tian slowly put down his teacup.

Zhou Tian's gaze swept across the crowd, his smile faded, and he got straight to the point. "There's a task now."

"Whoever can complete it will receive a generous reward."

The entire hall fell silent, listening respectfully.

Zhou Tian slowly spoke, "There's been some trouble in Big Fish Town."

"Recently, the snow in the mountains melted, and three Yellow-Skinned Weasels that had achieved Spirit Transformation came down the mountain. They've been killing, burning, and looting. Not only have they eaten many living people in Big Fish Town, but they've also set their sights on the three daughters of Magistrate Li, a wealthy household in the town. They want to force a marriage and take the three girls back to the mountain."

"Magistrate Li, the Li Family Patriarch, has opened his granaries and distributed grain in recent years, saving many refugees and common people in this Chaotic World. He is a good person. My Demon Suppressing Division eats the emperor's grain and guards the peace of the land. We cannot stand idly by!"

The atmosphere in the Front Hall was somewhat heavy.

Commander Zhou Tian sat in the Grand Tutor Chair, his gaze sweeping over the people below, and slowly said, "According to reports from scouts on the front lines, hmm, it's nothing major. They are three Yellow-Skinned Weasels that have just achieved Humanoid Transformation. Their strength won't be too great."

"You are all experts above the Third Rank Martial Artist level. This mission is not too difficult, but to be on the safe side, I plan to send five or six people together. Many hands make light work."

"After the task is completed, each person will be rewarded with One Hundred Taels. This is also a good opportunity for experience. I wonder who is willing to go?"

One Hundred Taels.

If this were elsewhere, it would be enough to make countless martial artists fight for it.

But in this Front Hall, the Class A and Class B stewards looked at each other, falling into a silence.

Everyone had a scale in their hearts. Although they were Yellow-Skinned Weasels that had just achieved Spirit Transformation, their combat power was comparable to human Third Rank, or even Fourth Rank Martial Artists.

And there were three of them.

For a mere One Hundred Taels, to risk your life against such an evil creature?

It's not worth it.

Everyone present was an old hand. While One Hundred Taels was a considerable sum, they could save it up over half a year by taking on stable missions. There was no need to take such a risk.

For a moment, no one responded.

"What? All mute?"

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Zhou Tian's smile gradually faded.

"When you usually receive rewards, you all rush forward faster than anyone else. But when it's time to eliminate demons and uphold righteousness, you all turn into shrinking turtles?"

Zhou Tian snorted coldly, his voice becoming stern. "The Demon Suppressing Division doesn't keep idlers! And it certainly doesn't keep cowardly wretches who fear death!"

"Since no one volunteers, fine, then I'll pick! I'll choose six people. Whoever I name must go. Those who dare to disobey will be dealt with according to the division's laws!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd.

Those whose eyes he swept over lowered their heads, afraid of being chosen.

Just then.

A calm voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"I, Lin Guanhuo, am willing to go."

Everyone turned.

They saw a figure in a black long gown step out from the back of the crowd, his expression serene.

It was as if he were going to buy groceries, not to kill demons.

It was Lin Guanhuo.

"Oh?"

Hearing this.

A hint of admiration flashed in Zhou Tian's eyes, and he nodded. "Good. Lin Guanhuo, I am very pleased with your courage."

"You will be the main force for this mission. I will assign a few more skilled individuals to you..."

"No need."

At this moment.

Lin Guanhuo suddenly interrupted Zhou Tian.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Guanhuo continued, "Commander Zhou, this junior will go alone."
