Su Yi began lurking in the chat, watching Xia Tianyi, Qingyan Devil Lord, and the others converse, hoping to learn about the background and overall situation of the Desolate Ancient.

From their conversation, Xia Tianyi and Qingyan Devil Lord were big shots. Next came Black Tiger Emperor, then Old Lord Qiyang. The weakest was probably Wu Qingyao, but that woman was upright and unyielding, utterly fearless before demons and monsters.

At that moment, Nan Xiaopao returned from the balcony.

"Su Yi, what do we do next?"

Nan Xiaopao sat down beside Su Yi and asked. Su Yi had put away his phone beforehand and answered, "Wait a few more days for me to cultivate, then we'll leave."

His Half-Demon identity had already been exposed. Staying at Baiqiao University no longer felt comfortable, and he wanted to go out and take a look.

First, he needed to confirm the situation throughout the city. If possible, he would leave the city, hunt demons, and strive to grow stronger.

According to Xuanyuan Human Emperor, Di Jun and Taiyi would wipe out humanity in the future. In other words, the ultimate mission of Earthlings like them was to resist Di Jun and Taiyi.

Though he was already powerful, he wanted to become even stronger.

"Mm, if possible, can I go back to my aunt's home? You don't have to trouble yourself. I can go on my own."

Nan Xiaopao asked. Her hometown, like Su Yi's, was elsewhere. Before attending university, she had stayed with relatives.

Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "Wait another two days. I'll go with you."

He had already warned Old Lord Qiyang. Presumably, Old Lord Qiyang would no longer allow demons to eat people unchecked.

If Nan Xiaopao's aunt's family had already died tragically, there was no point in going now.

Nan Xiaopao considered it, then nodded in agreement.

Over the next two days, neither of them left the dormitory. Old Lord Qiyang did not come looking for Su Yi, likely because he was still recovering from his injuries.

Two days later.

Su Yi absorbed all the Dragon Strength Pills. Together with the Red Blood Snake King's Demon Core, he had gathered exactly a Hundred Dragon Strength!

How mighty was a Hundred Dragon Strength!

One Dragon Power alone was enough to destroy a skyscraper. With a Hundred Dragon Strength, could he move mountains and overturn seas?

His blood and qi surged violently, and Su Yi could not help releasing a long howl.

"Roar—"

The dragon's roar echoed throughout the city, shaking Qiling Land. Everyone who heard it trembled in terror.

Everyone at Baiqiao University turned toward the sound.

"That monster... broke through again?"

Mo Haosheng thought through gritted teeth. The other Luoshui Sect disciples also began trembling in fear. How was this a Half-Demon?

He was clearly a gigantic demon!

Could he have been born of a dragon and a human?

Everyone else grew tense, afraid that Su Yi would go berserk.

Inside the dormitory, Nan Xiaopao tightly covered her ears. As she watched Su Yi, shock filled her face.

Faint dragon scales seemed to emerge across Su Yi's body. They were miraculous and extraordinary, brimming with a sense of power.

Su Yi opened his eyes and said with radiant spirits, "All right, let's go!"

The Hundred Dragon Strength made his confidence swell to bursting. Sweeping through Qiling Land should be no problem. When he had the chance, he needed to practice Old Lord Qiyang's divine ability scrolls and Xia Tianyi's Immortal Slashing Heart Sword to improve his actual combat power.

He could not rely on hand-to-hand combat forever!

Nan Xiaopao had long been ready. She immediately picked up her backpack and left the dormitory with Su Yi.

When the two walked out of the dormitory building, everyone they encountered avoided them as though fleeing a plague.

"Is that him? That Half-Demon?"

"Yeah. A few days ago, he blasted a Demon King so badly it fled with severe injuries."

"Be careful. He's a demon!"

"Too terrifying. Just getting close gives me the chills."

Su Yi heard all their whispered conversations, but he did not take them to heart.

It was only human nature to fear a powerful stranger, especially after they had just experienced the bloody horror of demons.

Before long, Su Yi and Nan Xiaopao left Baiqiao University. The news invigorated everyone there. Ever since the Luoshui Sect disciples had arrived, no demons had attacked them, yet Su Yi had instead become a ticking bomb, casting a shadow over everyone's hearts.

This city was called Xiwan City, the main city of the province. It had once been incomparably prosperous, but now it was deathly silent.

As they walked down the streets, dense trees obscured the buildings on both sides. Corpses could be seen everywhere, and the thick stench of blood was enough to make one vomit.

People were already coming and going on the streets. Those arriving wanted to join the Luoshui Sect, while those leaving had failed the assessment.

The main roads had long since been destroyed. Vehicles were inconvenient to use, so they could only travel on foot.

Fortunately, Su Yi now possessed a Hundred Dragon Strength, while Nan Xiaopao also had One Dragon Power. Their steps were swift and vigorous, and they moved quickly.

The journey was uneventful.

The farther they got from Baiqiao University, the fewer people they encountered. It was like a city of the dead.

After roughly two hours, they finally reached the residential complex where Nan Xiaopao's aunt lived. This place was equally unbearable to look at. Blood and severed limbs lay everywhere, like a perilous city at the end of the world.

Led by Nan Xiaopao, they entered a residential building.

Nan Xiaopao walked carefully, afraid that demons or monsters might suddenly leap out.

Su Yi was much calmer. His senses were now more than a thousand times sharper, and he could sense that there was no danger in this building.

Before long, they reached the fourth floor. Su Yi knocked on the door, but there was no response inside.

Su Yi directly pushed the door open and entered.

"Ahhh—"

A middle-aged man charged at them with an iron chair raised overhead, his face filled with alarm and fury.

Su Yi glared at him. The man shuddered all over in fright and fell to the ground.

"Uncle, what are you doing?!"

Nan Xiaopao hurriedly ran out from behind Su Yi and scolded angrily. If Su Yi had merely been an ordinary person, he might have been beaten to death.

The middle-aged man came back to his senses and stared in astonishment. "Xiaopao?"

At that moment, two women emerged from the living room: a middle-aged woman and a young girl. They were presumably Nan Xiaopao's aunt and cousin.

Nan Xiaopao began asking about their situation. The middle-aged man also awkwardly apologized to Su Yi, but Su Yi did not take it to heart.

After they chatted for quite some time, Nan Xiaopao's cousin, Zhang Manting, could not help asking, "Did you walk here from Baiqiao University?"

There were so many demons outside. How had they managed that?

Zhang Manting unconsciously looked at Su Yi. Could this guy be very powerful?

Seeing her gaze, Nan Xiaopao immediately hugged Su Yi's right arm and smiled. "He's Su Yi. He's very strong. None of those demons are his match."

"So you're the Su Yi Xiaopao always talks about? You're quite handsome."

Nan Xiaopao's aunt said with a broad smile, startling Su Yi. Nan Xiaopao mentioned him often?

Rather than feeling embarrassed, Nan Xiaopao became even more pleased with herself. "Of course. The two of us standing together are a match made in heaven."

Zhang Manting curled her lips at that but said nothing. Her eyes kept sizing up Su Yi, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"I see that you possess no means of survival, so I have transmitted a basic cultivation technique to you. I hope you cultivate diligently. In addition, ten treasures are hidden within the city. Should you find them, you shall become even stronger."

Xuanyuan Human Emperor's voice suddenly rang out in their minds, interrupting their conversation.

It was not just them. Everyone in the city could hear it.

Immediately afterward, an unfamiliar memory flooded into everyone's mind.

Su Yi alone did not receive it.

Su Yi frowned as he looked at Nan Xiaopao and the others, whose eyes were tightly shut. He could not help feeling puzzled.

What are they doing? Are they receiving that cultivation technique?

Why didn't I get it? Could it be because I've already set foot on the demon path?

No one could answer him. While waiting, he could only take out his phone and see what the Emperor Su Sect was discussing.

Black Tiger Emperor: I'm very interested in Qiling Land right now. Old Lord Qiyang, may I come visit?

Old Lord Qiyang: What are you coming for? Don't come. We're in the same sect now!

Xia Tianyi: Qiling Land? There have recently been rumors of strange phenomena in Qiling Land. Do you know about them?

Black Tiger Emperor: It is said that a city from another world descended upon Qiling Land. Even Emperor Su is very concerned about it.

Third update. An extra chapter for fifteen thousand votes. You guys are seriously incredible. I thought I could add fewer extra chapters each week, but damn, it's practically once a day... I'm convinced, haha. The pressure of building up chapters is enormous.
