An arrow pierces the sky!
The sound system has advanced to a higher level!
Where the arrow passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, leaving a dark and deep crack, which was instantly filled by the surging energy around it.
The entire forest seemed to come alive under the impact of this force; the trees shook violently, and the branches and leaves collided with each other, producing a deafening sound.
Outside, Lü Yi suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide with surprise, and exclaimed instinctively, "So strong!"
He's just so competitive!
The array she had set up in this forest, which should have been able to conceal most of the super-level magic fluctuations, was now twisted and torn apart by this arrow, just like a fragile spider web!
The light of the formation began to dim, the runes gradually blurred, until they finally disappeared without a trace.
"How powerful is this arrow?" Jiang Shaoxu felt it was awesome, but he wasn't sure exactly how awesome it was, so he asked quietly.
"You know Zhan Kong, right?" Lü Yi asked.
Jiang Shaoxu nodded; of course she knew that.
Lü Yi: "One arrow, one kill."
Jiang Shaoxu: "...Isn't it impolite to say it like that?"
“This is a compliment to him.” Lu Yi said seriously, “That kid’s curse-based body-borrowing technique is quite interesting. His defensive power is comparable to that of a monarch, so he should be the strongest in this base city.”
"So one arrow, one kill?"
"Correct."
Seeing Jiang Shaoxu's shocked expression, Lü Yi felt inexplicably pleased.
But then I thought, how could such a promising young man have been taken in by that old guy Jiang Chong so early on? It's said that the kid wasn't even at the intermediate level back then!
So angry!
I hate it!
Chenying isn't even starting to understand things properly; does she really need her grandmother to guide her?!
······
In the woods.
Xu Fang, who fired this earth-shattering arrow, was not proud of his powerful strength. His eyes were somewhat empty as he stared blankly at the sky.
The sound of the bowstring being released resonated with the wooden arrow at the moment of its release, creating a connection between them and his spiritual world.
All distracting thoughts and constraints were swept away, leaving behind only clarity and tranquility.
He felt his connection with the world around him becoming closer, as if he could perceive the subtle changes in every leaf and every gust of wind.
"The Eighth Realm".
There's no need to confirm; Xu Fang can provide the answer himself.
The Black Dragon Emperor's true dragon essence allowed him to break through to a higher spiritual realm.
The totem dragon-phoenix bestowed upon it the protection of the heavens, propelling it to its peak.
Now, the two fully digested holy souls have become the opportunity to break through the realm, helping Xu Fang to ascend to the eighth realm in one step!
"I'll burn some foreign paper money for you guys later... That's fucking awesome!"
His calm expression was only temporary; his maniacal laughter was the real theme!
Xu Fang transformed into a monkey, jumping and howling, which stunned Lü Yi and Jiang Shaoxu who had come in. What?! Xu Fang passed the imperial examination?!
Lü Yi: "You didn't damage your brain through cultivation, did you?"
Xu Fang gave a haughty snort.
Old Deng, I'm in a good mood today and I won't argue with you. Do you even know the value of Eighth Realm spiritual power?
So what if you're a half-forbidden spellcaster with over thirty years of experience, and you got the Earth Core and became a forbidden spell thanks to me? Aren't you still on the same level as me?
Lu Yi was taken aback by Xu Fang's hum, but it seemed strangely familiar.
Oh, I remember now. When Chenying was watching Japanese anime, there were always some blonde little girls with their hands on their hips humming like that, saying something like "Urusai".
······
Xu Fang secluded himself for four whole months, without paying any attention to outside news.
Given his current status and position, he gets firsthand inside information about the news.
First, of course, we went to see the Parthenon. It was even more bustling than I had imagined; to describe it in one idiom, it was a scene of utter chaos.
Yi Zhisha's defenses were visibly broken. In one photo, Xu Fang even saw himself cosplaying Elias. The old man was huddled in a corner, looking aggrieved, enduring Yi Zhisha's torrent of abuse.
Poor baby.
Go find Asha's Ruya if you have little merit; I, Xu Fang, am a good person.
Meanwhile, Lingling and Mo Fan's side was equally lively. Following the clue of "Foggy Spring" provided by Xu Fang before leaving, they traced the trail all the way to the Americas.
He is currently working as a university tutor at the Sacred Academy of Ojos in the Americas, along with Zhao Manyan and Mu Bai.
Xu Fang didn't intend to get involved; he had his own plans for the future.
"I plan to travel across China and visit those major demon tribes," Xu Fang said earnestly.
“I’ll go with you,” Jiang Shaoxu said without hesitation.
"No, I'll be alone, without a military mages. I'll contact the local military if necessary."
Xu Fang said, "The improvement has been too rapid in this period of time. Closed-door cultivation is not enough to digest it in a short time. We must fight to make it solid."
The Siren Dynasty has been quiet for some time now, and no one knows whether they have given up in the face of difficulties or are brewing a bigger conspiracy.
Nobody dared to gamble.
Xu Fang would never believe that the death of the mere Qiu Chi Qiu Zi could intimidate the entire Pacific Ocean; the two great monarchs were not qualified.
Who knows, one day the sirens might suddenly unleash a full-scale attack and wipe out human cities!
"Within six months, clean up the demon tribes in the rear," Xu Fang said.
Demons that live in groups are classified according to their size. When a group of demons has more than 50 adults, it is called a nest.
If the number of such demon nests in a region exceeds 50, it is called a group.
A group with more than 10 members is called a demon tribe.
In other words, even the smallest demon tribe has 25000 demons, led by at least a monarch-level demon. Even a team of super-level mages would never return!
"Isn't this a bit too risky?" Zhan Kong frowned as he rushed over after receiving news of his exit from seclusion.
"Don't worry, I've gained some new insights during this seclusion, and my survival skills are top-notch," Xu Fang said with a smile.
"Then what about your Heavenly Seed?" Qin Yu'er also advised, "Why don't you cultivate the Heavenly Seed first?"
“No, it’s spring now. Neither the Arctic nor the Antarctic has reached its coldest time yet, so the purity is slightly lower.” Xu Fang shook his head.
He plans to travel to the Arctic at the end of the year.
He felt that Asha's opinion was not objectionable.
Moreover, he will be able to use the armor again at that time, and he will not be afraid even if he encounters an emperor-level demon!
Seeing that Xu Fang had made up his mind, no one could say anything to persuade him.
Slaying demons and saving people is the sacred duty of a sorcerer.
"Go if you want, I won't try to stop you." Jiang Shaoxu smiled and took two steps back with his hands behind his back. "But you'd better watch out! I caught up with your cultivation level the last few times, don't even think about shaking me off this time!"
"I'm waiting." Xu Fang gave a thumbs up.
He was going to travel around the country, and naturally he had to mention such an important matter to the military.
A few minutes later, the application—or rather, the unilateral notification—was placed in front of Jiang Chong.
"Young man, you really have a lot of drive," Chief of Staff Feng said with a smile. "Everyone else is avoiding trouble, but he's the only one who's actively provoking conflict instead of retreating. It's just a bit risky, isn't it? His abilities..."
“I know this kid well. Since he brought it up himself, he has at least a 90% chance of winning, and the remaining 10% is that he is confident of escaping.”
"Moreover, this is not about stirring up trouble, but about stabilizing the rear."
Jiang Chong looked at the military map hanging high in the office. The map marked various demon empires and large tribes, which were much larger than human territory and squeezed out vast territories!
"The so-called peace and balance we enjoy now is nothing more than a millstone of war, which is filled and barely kept running by human lives. Once the Siren Dynasty starts a full-scale war, we are very likely to be unable to take care of ourselves."
Jiang Chong casually picked up the pointer from the table and pointed at the map:
"Xu Fang's route has been sent to me. Starting from Jinlin, we will travel east and north across the Taihang Mountains, through the Bohai Sea, to the Horqin Demon Tribe and the Changbai Mountain Demon Tribe. We will join forces with the Northern Army to launch a full-scale attack on the Northern Wilderness Beast Tribe."
Chief of Staff Feng nodded approvingly: "You've thought this through very thoroughly; it wasn't just a rash decision."
The Northern Wilderness Barbarian Tribe, though nominally classified at the same level as the Taihang Mountains and Changbai Mountains, has a much higher density of demons, comparable to some demon empires!
If other demon tribes were to behead their demon leaders, the tribes would most likely revolt and disintegrate.
The northern frontier beasts are not like that; once a leader dies, he will immediately elect a successor. One person alone is helpless; it requires the cooperation of other military mages.
In addition, Xu Fang chose to take this place as the midpoint and did not continue westward.
This is because further west lies the sphere of influence of the Kunlun Demon Empire, which, unlike the Qinling Mountains which are extensions of a "branch," is within the reach of their very claws.
The Demon Empire is different from large tribes, especially those among the top seven globally. It's best to avoid antagonizing them if possible.
— Little did they know, Xu Fang's inability to advance had nothing to do with his overall strategic vision; it was simply because he was genuinely outmatched, and even cheating wouldn't work.
Should we try again when we put on our armor again or break through the forbidden spell?
Would it be fair to use all my magical power if I didn't strike hard?
"Powering up the Dongting Lake base city, Xu Junsi's plan is approved!"
"...Grand Commander."
"what happened?"
"Commander Xu has already set off."
"???"
