After Ling Yi and the others left, twelve figures clad in dark gold Genki armor suddenly appeared on the scene.
They were the Zodiac Team sent by Emperor Chi to secretly protect Ling Yi.
The leader, Chen Long, said, "We were careless. We didn't expect the Janpunese Country to be so reckless. If it weren't for Ling Yi's quick thinking, we would all be finished."
" Janpenese, be destroyed!" the Si Snake said coldly.
"This kid is strong and ruthless enough. This return gift will probably give Janpenese a hard time."
"How is your Graceful Steps upon the Waves training going?" Chen Long asked again.
"I have already mastered it. This martial art is truly powerful. If it were to become widespread, the strength of our Great Qian Empire would surely rise to a new level," Wei Goat.
"These are none of our concern; Emperor Chi will make his own decisions," Chen Long said, glancing at Wei Goat.
"Isn't it a bit Earthly Dao of us to learn like this?" the Hai Pig whispered.
Chen Long laughed and said, "You think that kid didn't notice us?"
"No way, we have Dharma School to Aura our presence; even a Martial Holy Capital wouldn't be able to detect us."
"Regardless, we owe that kid a favor, and this time he practically saved our lives."
"I really wonder how far this kid will go in the future. I'm looking forward to it."
Meanwhile, Ling Yi and the others had already found the cottonwood.
Ling Yi tested the characteristics of cottonwood and was Dawei.
This thing is like shape-memory metal; once it's set, it can recover from any damage it suffers under the nourishment of Genki.
Moreover, the recovery speed is not slow.
It seems that the world is far more wondrous than I imagined.
Unfortunately, Ling Yi wasn't a research enthusiast. Although he knew this thing could be used in many ways, he didn't have the brains to do research with it; he could only treat it as something new and interesting.
However, Ling Yi and the others cannot go back now. Ling Yi has to wait for Pengpeng to return before he can return to Hao City.
Otherwise, if Pengpeng were to fly directly back to Hao City to find him, his identity would likely be exposed immediately.
Although Ling Yi's current identity is practically the same as being exposed, at least ordinary people don't know his identity, which saves him some trouble.
The straight-line distance from Hao City to Janpenese is over 6,000 kilometers, but Pengpeng certainly won't go straight through the Mist Mountain Range, after all, there are King Grade Demonic Beast in there.
King Grade Demonic Beast have a very strong sense of territory and a very serious concept of hierarchy.
If Pengpeng dared to fly over the head of a King Grade -King Grade Demonic Beast, he would probably become its Demonic Beast in no time.
Therefore, Pengpeng will definitely take a detour, which will make the round trip nearly 20,000 kilometers.
Even if Pengpeng is fast, it will probably take him seven or eight hours to make the round trip.
This also takes into account that Pengpeng won't encounter any trouble or danger along the way.
After the last beast tide, Demonic Beast are now rarely seen in the Mist Forest.
Moreover, Ling Yi and his companions were highly skilled and daring, so they were naturally not afraid of the appearance of Demonic Beast.
In Ling Yi's Ling Yi, as long as no King Grade Demonic Beast come out to cause trouble, he doesn't care too much.
Even if he forgot about the appearance of the Demonic Beast, he could simply lead everyone away and run away.
"Are we really going to stay in the Mist Forest tonight?" Yuan Xiaolei asked worriedly.
Ling Yi pointed to the sky, indicating that the Great Peng had not yet returned.
By the time Great Peng returned, it was already dark. Hao City would definitely have closed its gates by then, and even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to go back.
Therefore, we will have to spend the night in the Mist Forest.
"Let's get this straight, I've only prepared one tent, which can only hold two people. Whoever wants to stay here, well, you'd better come and flatter me," Liu Chengcheng laughed, praising her own foresight.
Yuan Xiaolei didn't care at all, and wasn't tempted in the slightest.
Wang Xiaoyun and Chi Ni remained unmoved, both looking at Ling Yi at the same time.
Ling Yi shrugged. "Does he need a tent for camping? Just kidding."
Ling Yi pressed his hands on the ground, and in the next moment, a row of small houses rose up with a rumble.
This scene stunned everyone once again.
Even Chen Long and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, found it hard to believe.
"Is that how he uses earth-elemental Genki? Elemental Genki can be used like that? That's truly eye-opening."
The Wei Goat) represents the earth Genki, but it simply cannot achieve this.
This move may seem simple, but it requires an extremely deep understanding of the earth element's Genki.
This has nothing to do with skill level!
"It seems I must ask this kid for advice when I have the chance in the future."
Nothing happened that night, and Pengpeng didn't fly back until after nine o'clock the next morning.
Seeing Pengpeng's slightly tired eyes, Ling Yi patted its head.
"Master, I have not failed you!"
Ling Yi nodded, casually cast two Healing Technique on it, and then put it into his Personal Space to recuperate.
At noon, the group returned to Hao City.
That afternoon, a news report was broadcast on television.
Janpenese was suddenly attacked by a high-level flying Demonic Beast, and the entire capital city was razed to the ground...
Ling Yi couldn't help but grin; Ling Yi was quite pleased with this return gesture.
" Ling Yi, it seems we've pulled off something big this time!" Chi Ni said excitedly.
It was rare to see any other expression on this usually aloof girl's face.
" Janpenese is the most hated country by all the people of the Great Qian Empire, without exception. This country cooperates with Demonic Beast and has repeatedly invaded the borders of our Great Qian Empire."
"At least three million people of my Great Qian Empire have died at the hands of the Janpenese."
Chi Ni said indignantly.
Ling Yi nodded. That's why he grows mushrooms.
Chi Ni looked at Ling Yi and bowed earnestly, saying, "Thank you!"
This completely stumped Ling Yi. He quickly stepped forward to help Chi Ni up, then solemnly patted her shoulder, pointed southeast, and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Chi Ni understood Ling Yi's meaning and smiled Yanran, "Remember to call me along then."
Ling Yi nodded.
Yuan Xiaolei and the others beside her had lost their appetite for jokes; they, like Chi Ni, harbored nothing but hatred towards Janpenese.
In the following time, Ling Yi began to carve a human body model from cotton wood, first marking the meridians and acupoints one by one.
Ling Yi knew very well what the cultivators of this world lacked, and this human meridian diagram model was the best gift Ling Yi could give to the Great Qian Empire.
But Ling Yi knew very well that now was not the time to take this thing out.
Although he had developed a certain sense of belonging and acceptance of the Great Qian Empire, Ling Yi did not believe that there were no dark places in this country.
We should wait at least a year; it won't hurt to be a little more patient.
Having experienced the Mist Forest, the girls became noticeably more serious about their cultivation.
After spending so much time together, Ling Yi had come to accept the girls' personalities, especially after they learned the Graceful Steps upon the Waves ), which they did not tell anyone.
This pleased Ling Yi greatly.
Although Ling Yi knew that the Graceful Steps upon the Waves had already been stolen and learned by the Big Shot, it at least proved the girls' attitude, which was very important.
Ling Yi had already Perception the presence of Chen Long and the others.
Ling Yi didn't know they were there to protect him; he always thought they were there to protect Chi Ni and the other girls.
Similarly, after the attack in the Mist Forest, Chen Long and the others became even more serious.
Just as Ling Yi had guessed, Janpenese ' attack was only the beginning.
During this period, Chen Long and his team Knockback at least a dozen waves of enemies from various sides.
Some came from within the Great Qian Empire, while others came from other countries.
In less than a month, nine Martial Venerable, one Martial Saint Third Tier expert, and countless Martial Master and Martial Practitioner died at the hands of the Twelve Zodiac Animals.
Ling Yi knows all of this!
However, no one has come looking for death in the last few days. Perhaps they know that Chen Long and his group are there, and they have no way to deal with Ling Yi.
Or perhaps they're preparing some big surprise.
In addition, the Hao City First Higher Martial Academy is about to start its semester.
High Martial Arts is roughly equivalent to university in the previous life, representing the final four years of students' academic career.
Compared to junior martial arts schools, High Martial Arts academies are far superior in both scale and resources.
Hao City First High Martial Academy is roughly the size of a small city.
Nearly 1.5 million students.
One and a half million!
Once these students graduate, the weakest will be at the Pinnacle of the Martial Practitioner Realm, and many will reach the Martial Master Realm. Some students with extraordinary talent will even break through to the Martial Master and reach the Martial Venerable Realm.
This is only the Hao City Advanced Martial Academy.
What about other cities? How many students from High Martial Arts academies graduate each year?
The Great Qian Empire is powerful for a reason; we may not have many other things, but we have a large population.
The location of the Hao City First High Martial Academy is precisely in the northernmost part of Hao City, while the manor that Ling Yi bought is in the southernmost part of Hao City.
Even by car, it takes more than half an hour to get from the manor to the school.
"It's too much trouble to travel back and forth like this. Are you going to choose to live on campus?"
Inside a black minivan, Wang Xiaoyun spoke with some impatience.
Because it's the start of the school year, traffic is extremely congested; Ling Yi and his friends have been stuck on the road for almost two hours.
Accommodation is a good option, and Ling Yi has no objections to it.
But the girls were unwilling. They could learn a lot from Ling Yi and improve their strength rapidly by following him. Wouldn't that mean being separated from Ling Yi for accommodation?
Liu Chengcheng blew a wisp of hair from her forehead and said coolly, "It's no big deal. We're not short of money. We can just buy another villa next to the academy."
"I agree!" Wang Xiaoyun was the first to raise her hand in agreement.
Chi Ni and Yuan Xiaolei naturally had no objections.
Ling Yi made an "X" with his hands, meaning he disagreed.
"We have a 4-1 advantage, your objection is invalid, and besides, don't even think about living on campus," Yuan Xiaolei said fiercely.
The other three women nodded in agreement; on this point, they were united.
Ling Yi shrugged. Fine, you're pretty, so you get to decide.
It took the car three hours to slowly and painstakingly arrive at the college.
They were all dumbfounded by what they saw at the academy gate.
Good heavens, it's no exaggeration to say it was a sea of people.
"How can there be so many people? What should we do?" Yuan Xiaolei asked.
"Buy a house first. Don't rush to register; there's still half a month left," Wang Xiaoyun suggested.
Just as the group was about to get off the bus, the crowd in front suddenly became chaotic.
Everyone fled in all directions like madmen. After a moment, Ling Yi and the others finally learned the reason for the chaos.
Ten short, middle-aged men, each carrying something, were rushing towards them.
"Are they coming for us?" Wang Xiaoyun asked.
"They're coming for us!" Chi Ni said firmly, her voice as cold as Bing Shuang.
" Janpenese again? These guys dare to come here looking for death?" Liu Chengcheng said angrily!
Ling Yi frowned when he saw what these people were holding. Where did these guys get so many Fourth Tier Demonic Beast Inner Core?
Fourth Tier Demonic Beast aren't exactly commonplace; something's not right here!
Last time, they used sixty-five Demonic Core Bomb, which are sixty-five Fourth Tier Demonic Beast Inner Core.
Only the Inner Core of Fourth Tier demon Demonic Beast can be used to create Demonic Core Bomb.
Something's not right, very not right. Looks like I need to find some time to go to Janpenese.
But now, Ling Yi raised his right hand and snapped his the Snap...
