What do you mean by my awakened profession being Monster Hunter?

Qi Shi'an remained composed and calmly said, "Besides, aren't they alive and well? I didn't kill them, nor did I harm their essence. They can be healed with some rare and precious materials. Therefore, I am innocent."

The moment the two arrived, he had already dispersed the power within Jin Yun's body, refraining from further damaging her essence.

If these two wanted to punish him, he would have grounds to argue.

Everyone was stunned, first speechless, then buzzing with discussion.

This young man is incredibly audacious. He took action right there in the academy, yet he retorted with such confidence and logic that it left no room for argument.

"You..." The elder was rendered speechless by the retort.

"Oh, speaking of formal disciples, I had forgotten about you."

Qi Shi'an turned around and pointed a finger at the page lying on the ground. A jet-black light burst forth from his fingertip, and instantly, the page's brow exploded, his primordial spirit being directly obliterated by the domineering power.

The elder's face darkened, and he pointed at the black-robed youth below, saying sternly, "So, you dare to kill someone in front of everyone!"

"He wasn't a formal disciple of the academy, just a page. Relying on his master's power, he dared to show off in front of me and even utter wild words. It's already a favor that I spared his body."

"Moreover, the academy's regulations clearly state that non-disciples are not allowed to enter the inner area at will."

“But he’s not even a registered disciple of the academy. He’s already violated the rules by trespassing into the inner domain. I suspect he’s a spy from another region, so I killed him. Not only am I innocent, but you should also give me a reward.”

Qi Shi'an stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth. Every word he spoke was reasonable and irrefutable.

This is murder by exploiting loopholes in the rules, and there's no way to refute it; you can only swallow your pride and accept the beating.

"..."

The two elders of the academy were speechless, because this person was indeed not a formal disciple.

If a crime had to be found, the only grounds for arresting and punishing Qi Shi'an would be his failure to meet the challenge at the training ground.

But what the young man said wasn't entirely wrong. These people's injuries were not serious and wouldn't affect their future cultivation; it would only consume some rare and precious materials and time.

Moreover, this young man single-handedly swept aside a group of experts, demonstrating exceptional talent that surpassed many of his peers.

Faced with this situation, they found it difficult to impose severe punishment.

This kind of competition, which involves raising insects, is all for the purpose of producing a dragon, and the young man in front of us is very likely one of those dragons.

However, many of these disciples belong to aristocratic families within the academy, especially Jin Yun. If the elders of the Jin family were to find out, they would surely come to demand an explanation.

The two men shuddered at the thought of the Jin family's ancestor.

Just as they were in a dilemma, a voice transmission came from deep within the academy. After listening to it, the two looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that this young man had attracted the attention of the Grand Elder.

Thinking about it carefully, with such a commotion, they should have sensed it much earlier, but they only noticed it at the last moment.

Perhaps the Grand Elder deep within the academy concealed this place, preventing them from noticing it immediately.

However, the two were puzzled. Why would the Grand Elder do this? Could it be a warning to some aristocratic families?

However, they didn't investigate further; since the Grand Elder had spoken, they simply followed his orders.

"Let's leave it at that. Next time we fight, it can only be in the training ground," the middle-aged man in blue said in a deep voice.

"Really? Can we open a betting pool?" Qi Shi grinned.

"…As long as they don't kill, do whatever you want!" The middle-aged man in blue robes flicked his sleeve, intending to take all the geniuses with him.

"Hey, wait a minute, I haven't taken their storage bags yet."

Qi Shi'an quickly spoke up, fearing that the two elders would take these people away in the next second, and then all his efforts would have been in vain.

"..."

The middle-aged man in blue twitched at the corner of his mouth, he was furious, he wished he could arrest him and, even if he couldn't punish him severely, at least give him a good spanking.

What kind of time is this to still be thinking about robbery? It's true that old habits die hard!

But he couldn't say anything, so he simply turned his back, out of sight, out of mind.

"Hehehe, I'm rich! I really have great luck; I find treasures wherever I go."

Qi Shi'an smiled broadly and with a wave of his hand, he took everyone's storage bags.

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man in blue snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and took away all the injured before disappearing from the spot.

Another elder didn't understand why the middle-aged man in blue was angry, but he didn't dare to ask. He could only shake his head helplessly and follow suit.

Qi Shi'an put away all the storage bags, then looked at the remaining Yu Yu Tian cultivators and said, "It's your turn. Come on, offer your tribute!"

The Yu Yu Tian cultivators who were pointed at were furious. They hadn't expected that this person, who had caused such a commotion, would not be punished at all.

Could this child be a disciple of some great master in the academy?

Helpless, they were pressured by this person and handed over the storage bag before leaving in anger.

They cursed Qi Shi'an inwardly, but also felt some regret. They should have known better than to come and join in the fun; they had lost their fortune just to watch a show.

This is the most expensive spectacle they've ever seen!

“These scions of prominent families are truly rich in resources. Let’s go,” Qi Shi’an remarked.

"We don't even have a cultivation cave, where are we going?" Cao Yusheng muttered.

"I'll find a cave to cultivate in first. After I break through in seclusion, I'll go and find a good cave for the disciples of those aristocratic families," Qi Shi'an said calmly.

Now, those scions of immortal families have all broken through to the Heavenly God realm, and some have even condensed three Great Dao Flowers. They are just waiting to find a suitable Immortal Seed to break through to the Void Dao in one fell swoop and embark on their own invincible path.

His cultivation has stagnated at the Saintly Sacrifice level for a long time, and he must quickly improve his strength.

He has now plundered a considerable amount of resources, which, combined with what he had previously collected, is enough for him to break through to the Heavenly God realm and condense the other two Great Dao Flowers.

After Qi Shi'an led everyone away from this place, the news quickly spread throughout the academy, causing a great uproar.

Many people are speculating about the boy and his identity. Some powerful families have even mobilized their information networks to gather information about him from all directions.

At this moment, in a swamp that was usually deserted, there was a simple thatched hut. It was very simple, without any grand aura or immortal spirit.

Around the thatched hut, there are some muddy ponds that are not connected to each other, surrounding the area, where loaches and dragonfish can be seen occasionally.

An old man dressed in hemp clothing sat on a large brown rock, holding a bamboo pole and fishing.

At that moment, a faint smile graced his face.

"You reckless brat, let me see just how much trouble you can cause."

Chapter 234 Ascension to Godhood

Inside a pure land cave at the Heavenly God Academy, Feng Xingtian looked down at the corpse before him, his face turning ashen.

Feng Xingtian said in a deep voice, "Have you found out who it is?"

Feng Yue nodded and replied, "It's been confirmed. He's from the desolate lands of the Three Thousand States. His name is Qi Shi'an, and his nickname is Demon Lord."

"You lowly commoner from the lower realm, who dared to kill my man, I will make him wish he were dead!" Feng Xingtian said coldly.

Although he didn't care about the life or death of a page, one should still consider the owner before beating a dog.

The pageboy was sent to fetch someone on his orders, but returned as a corpse. This was a provocation and a blatant declaration of war against him.

"Where is he now?" Feng Xingtian asked.

"Hiding in a low-level cave, seemingly claiming to be refusing visitors, he must be in seclusion," Feng Yue replied.

"Heh, seclusion? He probably knows he's gotten himself into big trouble and wants to avoid retaliation by going into seclusion."

Feng Xingtian remained indifferent and pondered for a moment before saying, "Go, send him a challenge and see if he dares to accept it."

"Young Master, do you want to..." Feng Yue hesitated for a moment.

A hint of ferocity flashed in Feng Xingtian's eyes as he sneered, "If he accepts, I have my own way of killing him in the martial arts arena. If he doesn't accept, I'll spread rumors about his cowardice and humiliate him severely to force him to fight!"

Since that day, the academy's leadership has issued a statement that all disputes among disciples must be resolved in the martial arts arena, and anyone who dares to fight privately will be severely punished.

"But doesn't the academy forbid disciples from killing each other? Won't doing this affect you, young master?"

Feng Yue was puzzled. Why kill a foolish person from a barbaric land when he could easily kill him once he left the academy's territory and take unnecessary risks?

"Does killing him need to be timed? A dead genius is no genius. I don't believe the academy's higher-ups would offend my Feng clan for a dead man!" Feng Xingtian's face was cold and gloomy, as if covered with a layer of frost.

As one of the immortal families of the Nine Heavens, the Wind Clan wields immense power and influence, and no one dares to provoke them.

Because in addition to their profound foundation, they also have supreme-level experts in charge, as well as a true lineage of immortal cultivation!

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

Feng Yue withdrew from the main hall.

Feng Xingtian's eyes turned cold, revealing boundless killing intent, and he said in a chilling voice, "Qi Shi'an, I will make you regret what you did that day!"

At this moment, purple clouds burst forth from an ancient cave, peaceful and radiant. The surrounding spiritual energy continuously surged towards this place, mixing with the chaotic energy, creating an extremely mystical scene.

At the center is a bronze cauldron, which is currently being forged by a blazing golden divine fire. Many divine medicines are being refined within it, and the liquid is incredibly thick, exuding a fragrant aroma that is refreshing and invigorating.

Qi Shi'an, naked, immersed himself in the cauldron, absorbing the medicinal liquid to temper his body, hone his muscles and bones, and further undergo profound changes.

Qi Shi'an's skin was radiant, and under the impact of the potent medicine, his body became even more radiant, with faint symbols shimmering on it.

If viewed from a distance, it resembles a dazzling sun, containing explosive power.

Qi Shi'an closed his eyes and breathed in greedily. The fragrance of medicine rose from the mist, but it did not spread far. In the end, all the misty essence entered his body.

Just then, Qi Shi'an suddenly raised his hand and formed a strange hand seal.

In an instant, a myriad of dao trees, their entire bodies shimmering with a vibrant green and imbued with the essence of the Great Dao, swayed within his inner cave, releasing countless Dao principles that flowed like sweet rain through his meridians and throughout his entire body.

hum!

A roar resounded within Qi Shi'an's body as two streams of immortal energy, already refined to their peak, continuously condensed and swirled, transforming into a true dragon, a true phoenix, a Nine Nether Hound, a Kunpeng, and so on, floating above his head in a breathtaking and unpredictable spectacle.

Finally, the two streams of immortal energy grew even thicker, about to combine into a flower of the Great Dao!

"Congeal!"

Qi Shi'an gave a light shout, and his brow suddenly glowed. A small spiritual embryo flew out, sat cross-legged on his head, and with its small mouth slightly open, it spewed out two beams of primordial light, which rushed into the immortal energy and completely merged with it.

The next moment, two streams of immortal energy began to condense and take shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into a flower bud as white as jade. The layers of petals were tightly closed, and they were covered with symbols, each one being the mark of the precious technique he had cultivated.

Immediately afterwards, the Dao Fruits produced by the Myriad Dao Tree radiated boundless light, and strands of Dao Qi, like celestial dragons, rose from the crown of the head and disappeared into the flower buds.

Snapped!

Several days later, the second strand of immortal energy outside Qi Shi'an's body successfully condensed into a flower of the Great Dao, blooming above his head. Strands of pure white immortal mist flowed down, shimmering and dazzling, and a terrifying aura of the Great Dao descended.

"All paths lead to the Heavenly Demon, the flower blooms to reveal the true self!"

Qi Shi'an formed a hand seal, and the Myriad Trees within his body emitted boundless energy, surging out from his spine and manifesting the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, as if a complete universe had descended.

At this moment, the third wisp of immortal energy condensed into a flower bud, blooming layer upon layer!

Qi Shi'an's spirit embryo sat in the center, radiating boundless demonic light and resonating with the three Great Dao Flowers.

At this moment, three flowers of the Great Dao hung above his head, surrounding the spiritual embryo. Dao sounds intertwined, and immortal mist filled the air. A terrifying surge of blood energy rose from Qi Shi'an's body, like a celestial river pouring out, a truly astonishing sight.

"Whose secluded training ground is that? Why is there such a commotion?"

"My God, a blood-red river of light is interwoven, and terrifying creatures seem to be emerging from within it!"

In the distance, many people were alarmed because the commotion caused by Qi Shi'an's seclusion was too great, and various strange phenomena appeared there.

One moment the crimson Milky Way overflows, the next black lotuses bloom across the land, then demons dance wildly, and then the roars of the Netherworld Hounds echo...

The emergence of any extraordinary phenomenon signifies the birth of an unparalleled master, who is about to ascend to the realm of gods. And there, extraordinary phenomena abound, filling the heavens and earth, dazzling all who behold them.

"There are too many miraculous phenomena; this person is ridiculously strong!"

"Who is he? Does anyone recognize him?"

"Anyway, they're not from the Nine Heavens."

"Isn't that the secluded cultivation place of that young cultivator from Yu Yu Tian who was raided a while ago?!"

Exclamations rang out one after another, and only then did people realize who it was. Their expressions changed drastically; that person was far too terrifying.

The Holy Sacrifice was able to defeat many gods in the past, and now that it has broken into the realm of gods, wouldn't it be even stronger?

Once he emerges from seclusion, given his actions of plundering the cultivators of Yu Yu Tian, ​​how could the other forces in the Nine Heavens possibly escape his wrath?

"It's over. This demon has become a god at such a young age, and his combat power is extraordinary. From now on, the Heavenly God Academy will become his backyard."

"Rumor has it that the demon is lawless. He only entered the academy a day ago, but he has already set his sights on the cultivators of the Nine Heavens. Who can stop him now?"

A group of people looked mournful. They had all heard the details of the battle that day and had even investigated the boy.
