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

At this moment, the muddy pond glowed and auspicious vapors rose, as if something was about to rise, causing a great commotion. Everyone rushed forward, all wanting to grab it.

The four masters made their move together. The true form of the Great Sudatta did not appear, but his alms bowl reappeared, gathering the heavens and earth. The aura of the immortal monk was boundless and descended, causing many powerful figures to feel awe and dare not approach.

Then, Lan Xian formed a hand seal, and the sky rumbled down, transforming into a Great Dao scripture that covered everything above.

boom!

Finally, the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord arrived even more directly, exchanging a palm strike with Qi Gu from afar, causing ripples like a vast ocean that shocked all directions.

Fortunately, there was a magic array here that blocked that terrifying fluctuation.

"Hmm, don't push, don't get too close to the front!" Disciples from the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy stepped forward to maintain order.

“People from the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy can stand at the front, while people from the Heavenly God Academy should stand at the back.”

This sound truly angered the people of the Heavenly God Academy. It was obvious that the four great masters had descended upon the Muddy Pond and occupied the most central position, so that they could rush in immediately once the Immortal Mansion opened.

Next were the people from the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy, who approached the area, closely following the four great masters.

Although this is the Heavenly God Academy, the academy's disciples are required to line up at the very back and are not allowed to be near it.

"Why? This is the Heavenly God Academy, how can you treat us like this?" The dozen or so disciples of the Heavenly God Academy protested.

"The Heavenly God Academy is so incompetent that not a single person can step forward to fight; it's just a bottom-tier institution. Opportunities should be reserved for the strong. Those who are not good enough should know their place!" A man from the Immortal Academy sneered with disdain in his eyes.

This can be described as a blatant mockery and humiliation, which infuriated all the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy, yet they were helpless to do anything about it.

Chi!

Just then, two hazy streams of light shot out from the muddy pond, enveloping the treasure, causing a sensation.

The four young masters immediately clashed, resulting in a major confrontation.

Others wanted to compete for it, but were also afraid of angering the four young masters.

At this moment, Qi Shi'an, who was hiding in the crowd, made his move. Demonic light flowed between his fingers, and his suction power was amazing. He wanted to take the two treasures, but one of them was intercepted.

Qi Shi'an raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the light had flown. Shi Hao, who was standing on the outermost edge of the crowd from the Heavenly God Academy, walked out from there, and the treasure landed in his palm. The two looked at each other.

Qi Shi'an smiled calmly. He had thought it was some blind fool, but it turned out to be Shi Hao.

This scene unfolded so suddenly that everyone was stunned. Someone actually dared to snatch food from the jaws of four top masters?!

"Holy crap, it's Desolation and the Demon Lord! They're back!"

Everyone looked up and stared; they recognized the two people immediately!

Especially the black-robed youth, whose blood-red eyes were all too obvious. Although they were more subdued than before, the sharp and piercing feeling was still as fierce as ever, even more so than before.

Some people were very excited, especially the disciples left behind by the Heavenly God Academy, whose faces were full of excitement.

The two men who once made the two academies unable to raise their heads have finally returned. Given their personalities, seeing the current state of Tian Shen Academy, they will definitely fight each other.

"Coming to my house as a guest, how can you not have any manners? You just barged in without even saying hello. It seems you've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed."

Qi Shi'an raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze calm as still water, yet subtly revealing a disdainful air.

"Fellow Daoist, taking advantage of someone in distress is far too unethical," a man from the Immortal Academy said coldly, his gaze unfathomable.

At this moment, many people were staring intently at the treasures the two had obtained. They were filled with auspicious energy. In Shi Hao's hand was a stone box, which was very ancient and mysterious. Wisps of white mist flowed from it, and there was even a radiant glow of immortals.

In Qi Shi'an's hand was a white jade bottle, from which radiant multicolored light emanated, surrounded by an aura of immortality, making it incomparably holy.

This has excited many people. A treasure that can break free from the mud must be spiritual, which has undoubtedly ignited a burning passion in many hearts.

Even the four top experts were curious about what kind of opportunity was hidden in the stone box and the white jade bottle.

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent and said coldly, "Rules? After I returned, I inquired around and found that the people from your two academies seem to be quite unfriendly. They often suppress the disciples of my academy, and now they're talking to me about rules."

Upon returning to the academy, he naturally wanted to inquire about what had happened during his years of seclusion.

Since he went into seclusion, disciples from both academies have frequently come to the academy seeking opportunities, and have even clashed with the remaining disciples. Several people were beaten until they coughed up blood and were left at the academy's gate, but they could only endure it and remain silent.

These people's goal is nothing more than the opportunities hidden within the academy. The resources within the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy have been completely divided up, and only a very few disciples have benefited. Most people have not been able to obtain anything.

Therefore, they turned their attention to the Heavenly God Academy, which had no powerful experts and held great opportunities; they would not let it go.

Upon hearing this, the people from the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy all trembled in their hearts. Just thinking about what had happened to their elite disciples and the Little Heavenly King made them feel a chill run down their spines.

Years ago, the young Heavenly King was almost killed by the demon in front of him with a celestial artifact. Although they knew that the two did not have the flawless ancient seed, their hair still stood on end and fear arose in their hearts.

Chapter 288 Taking the Opportunity to Test the Waters

Qi Shi'an noticed that some people in the crowd from both academies were looking around, as if they were communicating telepathically and exchanging strategies.

At this moment, a tall, humanoid being stepped out and smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoists, these two treasures were washed out of the muddy pond. They should come from a celestial abode and are unclaimed, so they should not belong to you."

This is a golden-horned rhinoceros with a single golden horn on its head, pale golden eyes, and long, blazing hair that shines like flames. Its robust body gives off a sense of oppression.

Clearly, he recognized Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao, and knew their identities. Even if he hadn't seen them before, he must have heard others talking about them. The fact that he still dared to step forward showed his attitude.

Everyone's expressions changed. They knew that this person had no good intentions. He was challenging the authority of the Desolate One and the Demon Lord, and they should consider their true strength now.

Although this person spoke tactfully and did not directly break off relations, their attitude and tone clearly indicated that they were deliberately obstructing the conversation.

Qi Shi'an narrowed his eyes, revealing a barely perceptible killing intent. He understood that this person had been pushed out, and the culprit was most likely one of the four masters.

This was an attempt to probe his current strength, to see if he had truly fused with a Dao Seed, and if so, what kind of Dao Seed he had fused with.

"I don't know who pushed you out like a lamb, but the person who sent you this message seems to have ill intentions. Aren't they afraid I'll accidentally kill you? Just like that silver-haired woman who died by my hand back then." Qi Shi'an spoke calmly, as if he were recounting something insignificant.

The disciples of the Immortal Academy had gloomy expressions. Some of them had witnessed the scene from back then. This person had killed an elite disciple in an instant, and that gloom still weighed on their hearts.

The four masters remained calm and composed, but Zi Ri Tian Jun's heart was in turmoil. He had clearly sent a message through his page, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if he had a bad premonition.

"Unclaimed property? Now that it's in my hands, it's considered to have a master." Shi Hao glanced at the golden-horned rhinoceros indifferently.

The golden-horned rhinoceros felt a chill run down its spine. Its heart skipped a beat. These two... could they still be terrifying? Wasn't it because there wasn't a suitable Dao Seed to fuse with?!

"Unclaimed items must be handed over. Only after everyone has discussed the matter can we discuss ownership!"

His long, fiery hair was disheveled, and his golden pupils shone with an eerie light. He did not back down, but instead took several large steps forward.

Many people remained silent, but their eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Watching the spectacle, they understood that this person was determined to stop the two from obtaining the treasure.

The disciples of the Heavenly God Academy were filled with rage. This was simply too much. If it were Da Xutuo, Lan Xian, or others who obtained the treasure, would this person still dare to say such things?

Shi Hao glanced at him dismissively and said calmly, "Is this everyone's idea, your idea, or the idea of ​​the people behind you?"

“Fellow Daoists, I am not targeting you. We all hope that this place can be more peaceful and avoid bloodshed. However, it would be better to be fair in this matter. Please hand over the treasure.”

The golden-horned rhinoceros smiled slightly, its pupils gleaming with intense golden light, and even its skin radiating a golden glow.

"Heh, isn't it just an attempt to test our strength?" Qi Shi'an glanced at them coldly and said in a chilling voice, "Can I take your words as a provocation?"

"What do you mean?!"

Jin Jiaoxi was stung by Qi Shi'an's cold and contemptuous gaze, as if he were watching the most despicable and lowly person perform, which made him feel ashamed.

"A bunch of defeated dogs from the Immortal Academy. After their crushing defeat in the battle between the Boundary Tomb and the Selection of Disciples, they still haven't learned their lesson. Do they really think they can act so arrogantly in front of me just because they've fused with the Dao Seed?"

A fierce glint flashed in Qi Shi'an's eyes, revealing a murderous intent. He smiled contemptuously: "I could kill you before, and I can do it now and in the future!"

Chi!

Qi Shi'an's blood-red eyes flashed with symbols, and he shot out two demonic beams, sharp as celestial swords, their edge piercing straight at the Golden Horned Rhinoceros's brow.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. The Demon Lord was as unreasonable as ever, and his decisiveness in taking action remained unchanged!

Golden Horned Rhinoceros's expression changed drastically. He had intended to assess the strength of the two men, but he hadn't expected things to go so wrong. They remained lawless and ruthless, and their attacks were decisive.

boom!

The next moment, the Golden Horned Rhinoceros's size exploded, its upper body transforming into a divine rhinoceros. Its enormous body was incredibly imposing, and its fur emitted a pale golden luster.

That rhinoceros horn was even more dazzling, emitting electric sparks and metallic essence, which transformed into sword light and shot out, extremely terrifying.

boom!

In an instant, the light shone brightly, and runes surged outwards like a tide.

The demonic light was incredibly sharp, instantly shattering the sword light. Its power remained undiminished, and with overwhelming force, it broke through the Golden Horned Rhinoceros's defenses, severing its horn.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The golden-horned rhinoceros let out a shrill howl that shook the heavens and the earth. The ground cracked, and distant mountain peaks swayed precariously, with rocks flying into the sky.

His strength was immense; he had already broken through to the Void Dao Realm and possessed terrifying divine power. Yet, a demonic ray of light shot from a gaze severed his most powerful and renowned rhinoceros horn!

Everyone was stunned. It was over so easily with just one strike?

The Demon Lord merely made a casual move, without using any special techniques or supernatural powers, and the Golden Horned Rhinoceros lost its divine horn, which was the essence of its entire body!

"To break through the Golden Horned Rhinoceros's defenses and cut off its horn with the power of a Celestial God, what a skill!" said the Purple Sun Celestial Lord calmly.

Everyone was stunned. For a god-level power to break through the defense of a sect leader-level expert was simply unbelievable; it represented a leap across an entire realm.

"you······"

The Golden Horned Rhinoceros was in agony. That was the very thing that would allow him to achieve enlightenment, and it had been destroyed just like that. He was so filled with remorse that he wanted to commit suicide.

"It's been a long time since I've had a proper meal. Today I'll start with you and stew you!" Qi Shi'an's eyes were dark and filled with pure killing intent.

The golden-horned rhinoceros was terrified and immediately transformed into its true form, becoming a huge golden rhinoceros, and turned to leave.

The Demon Lord is too terrifying. Even without fusing with a perfect seed, he is still no match for him.

Furthermore, he had heard some rumors that when the Demon Lord and Huang were at their peak, they loved to roast all kinds of rare and exotic beasts, which was very frightening, and that they were the reincarnations of a great demon!

"chi"

Qi Shi'an's eyes were sharp. He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a jet-black sword light burst forth from his fingertips, crackling with arcs of electricity, as it shot through the air toward the Golden Horned Rhinoceros.

Just then, the sky became incredibly bright, and a huge purple sun descended, terrifying beyond compare.

"Heavenly Lord, save me!" the Golden Horned Rhinoceros cried out, utterly terrified, and unable to help but plead for help in front of everyone.

Although the Demon Lord has been gone for nearly three years, his power remains. The sharp edge that cuts through the air exudes a terrifying aura, and wherever it passes, the void is torn open, which is too frightening.

In the midst of the purple sun, a blurry figure waved his sleeve, unleashing a surge of purple energy, like a raging torrent, threatening to engulf the entire world.

boom!

The moment the purple waves collided with the sword light, the heavens and earth roared, and the light of runes radiated in all directions, as if it would engulf the sky, its power overwhelming.

However, just when the Golden Horned Rhinoceros thought it had escaped a calamity, Shi Hao made his move. He pointed out a finger, which quickly enlarged and pressed down like a mountain, extremely heavy.

boom!

Before the golden-horned rhinoceros could react, the finger struck his body, causing a cracking sound inside him. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.

His chest was caved in, and other parts of his body were twisted, making it hard to imagine the terrible blow he had endured; his body seemed about to disintegrate at any moment.

"You...you have some nerve! How dare you launch a sneak attack while your master is fighting the enemy!" Zi Ri Tian Jun's page angrily rebuked.

"A sneak attack? How can you call that a sneak attack when you're bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" Shi Hao said calmly, flicking his right hand.

"you······"

"Zitong, say no more!" A calm voice came from within the purple sun.

At this moment, a great purple sun stretched across the sky, sacred and majestic, radiating intense purple light. Streaks of purple energy filled the void, creating a truly astonishing sight.

Around it, the light was dazzling and the purple clouds flowed like a waterfall.

No one could see the true face of the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord. His blurry figure seemed to stand in a distant realm. Only when his eyes opened and closed could one feel his vigorous life essence surging forth.

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent and said coldly, "So it was you who sent the Golden Horned Rhinoceros to provoke us?"

Zi Ri Tianjun spoke calmly and peacefully, saying, "Brother Dao is joking. This is just the Golden Horned Rhinoceros acting on its own; it has nothing to do with me."

Qi Shi'an snorted coldly. This man's attitude was nonchalant, as if he wanted to let the matter drop. But how could he let it go so easily?

"Is that so? Aren't you afraid that this little rhinoceros's stubbornness will bring a third heavy blow to your Immortal Academy?" Qi Shi'an narrowed his eyes, revealing a subtle but fierce aura.

Everyone was shocked. The Demon Lord remained neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord. Could it be that he had really obtained some peerless ancient seed?

Even Daxu Tuo, Qi Gu, and Lan Xian took another look. When they came out of the pass, they heard their subordinates recount the battle for selecting disciples three years ago.

That was arguably the most crushing defeat for both houses of parliament, a near loss of face.

"Brother Dao, you are still as sharp as ever. It's a pity that I was in seclusion fusing with my Dao Seed back then, otherwise I would definitely have had a showdown with you, the number one person in the Heavenly God Realm. But I probably won't have that chance again in the future," said Zi Ri Tianjun calmly.

Upon hearing this, many people were shocked and showed strange expressions.

Clearly, the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord was transcendent, unparalleled in power and arrogance. His meaning was obvious: if two people in the Heavenly God Realm did not spar, then entering the Void Dao Realm would be meaningless.

Because everyone knows that Qi Shi'an only has one soul power seed, which is far behind that of Zi Ri Tianjun, a genius who has fused with the Primordial Purple Qi Seed, and he is destined to never catch up.

"However, I think I may have misunderstood something when I saw you make your move. That kind of technique is not something an ordinary person can use. To break the Golden Horned Rhinoceros with the power of a Celestial God Realm expert is truly remarkable!" Zi Ri Tianjun exclaimed.
