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

No one was surprised; even Huang could be shaken, let alone the Demon Lord who had created new laws.

"Boom!"

Qi Shi'an put down the Yuanmu Cauldron, shook his arms, and said, "It is indeed very heavy."

That's the truth. Even with the power of his two divine treasures activated, his arms were slightly sore. It truly lives up to its reputation as a projection of a Celestial King-level artifact, deserving to be called the number one artifact in the world.

The veterans stared at the two men with gleaming eyes, as if they were examining priceless treasures.

"I really don't know how you guys developed your physiques; you're not much different from the geniuses of the Immortal Ancient Era," the leading veteran remarked.

“We have learned body-strengthening techniques,” Shi Hao said truthfully.

"Oh? What laws have you all studied?" the leader asked.

"The Hammer Bone Technique!" Shi Hao said. This technique was passed down by the Grand Elder and originated from the Holy Academy. The rest of the technique needs to be found there.

Qi Shi'an added, "He also has some knowledge of the sixteen-foot golden statue."

"Hmm, the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body is indeed a good method, but I've never heard of the Hammering Bone Method before. Could you explain it to me?" The leader made this request rather bluntly.

You must know that any skill is precious, so how can you easily reveal it to others?

However, Shi Hao did not hesitate and secretly used his divine sense to inform the leader of the city guards.

"Not bad, but not enough. This technique is derived from the Immortal Scripture, but it is far inferior to that true scripture." The leader immediately understood the secret of the Hammer Bone Technique and spoke truthfully.

"What? You understand the Undying Sutra?" Qi Gu spoke first, very urgently, completely unlike his usual taciturn nature.

When he was in the Holy Academy, he heard some people mention this ancient scripture, which was said to be the first true scripture of physical techniques in all of history, and no one could match it!

"I don't understand it. There are very few people in the Immortal Ancient Kingdom who understand it. At most, only two or three adults have studied it. We only know a little bit about it," the leader said.

"The Undying Scripture was one of the strongest scriptures during the Immortal Ancient Era, and it was an unparalleled treasure in the field of body tempering. At least in that era, there was no stronger body tempering method than this," an old soldier added.

According to him, once the complete Immortal Sutra is cultivated, it is impossible for Heaven to bury it or Earth to destroy it. The physical body becomes spiritually connected, and even if the divine consciousness is extinguished or scattered by someone, this physical body will still be immortal and indestructible, and will never perish.

There are even rumors that once one reaches the Great Perfection, even if the primordial spirit is scattered and destroyed, one day, after a long period of accumulation, the physical body can regenerate the true self!

"Where is the Immortal Sutra?" Shi Hao asked urgently. He was truly tempted; he desperately needed this kind of teaching.

"It has disappeared, at least not within this ancient city. However, according to our estimation, there are only three possibilities for the whereabouts of the Immortal Scripture. You can go to those places to look for it."

Subsequently, the leader solemnly informed them of the three possible locations of the Immortal Scripture, hoping to help Shi Hao and Qi Shi'an find it and bring the Immortal Scripture to light.

However, only two people can venture into the depths of this immortal city; the rest can only seek opportunities in other parts of the city and outside the mountains.

Shi Hao immediately turned around and, relying on the little horned ant he had tricked into acting as an "insider," plundered treasures throughout its own immortal city.

Qi Shi'an did not go there because he knew that the Immortal Scripture could not possibly exist in this immortal city; it was somewhere on a battlefield.

Chapter 297 A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger

There are many people on Earth, most of whom come from the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy. There are very few true disciples of the Heavenly God Academy, and they were previously ostracized.

At this moment, a group of disciples from the Heavenly God Academy rushed to the surface. They had already obtained the opportunities below, and if they stayed any longer, they would not be able to compete with the geniuses of the two academies.

With the suppression of Huang and the Demon Lord gone, the young supreme beings of the two academies were unstoppable, and the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy followed them up.

The moment they appeared, they became the center of attention, with everyone staring intently at the exit of the muddy pond and keeping a close eye on them.

All the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy have emerged. What did they obtain in the underground cave? This is a question many people are concerned about.

Moreover, why did they come up so early, and what about the disciples from the other two academies?

"Why did they come out? Has something happened?"

Many people were nervous and whispered among themselves. Even some of the old monsters from the three major academies looked solemn. Although several living fossils had gone down, they had not yet come back up.

"Hmm? Huang is with a living being!"

An old man from the Immortal Academy focused his gaze on Shi Hao's shoulder, where there was a golden dot that was almost invisible unless you looked closely.

However, those at their level could clearly sense that although the creature was small, less than an inch long, it contained terrifying blood energy that would be incredibly powerful once it erupted.

"Skyhorn Ant!"

An old relic of the Holy Academy gleamed with a sharp light as he recognized the creature's true nature. As a member of the Holy Academy, he understood such creatures best, for they possessed the power to expend all their blood.

These words, once uttered, were like a meteorite falling into the sea, causing towering waves!

"My God, it really is a horned ant!"

At this moment, people were almost suffocating and couldn't help but exclaim in shock, what earth-shattering news this was?

One of the strongest races in the ancient immortal era, the descendants of the Ten Fiends, still exist in this world and have been reborn!

This was truly a raging storm, shocking everyone.

If you keep a young ant close to you and provide it with the nutrients it needs to grow, wouldn't its blood be inexhaustible?

At this moment, not only the young people, but even some old monsters were breathing heavily. For the sake of their descendants and their respective academies, they had every reason to snatch and take away the Heavenly Horned Ants!

"You outsiders are so strange, all of you with such burning eyes. Is it because you've caught a glimpse of my magnificent figure?" The little ant stood on Shi Hao's shoulder, hands behind its back, looking around.

"You're so narcissistic," Qi Shi'an teased.

The little ant raised its head and said proudly, "Hmph, I am a descendant of the Ten Fiends, and my strength surpasses all others. How can you say I am narcissistic?"

At this moment, an elder from the Immortal Academy, though his hair was thinning, had a ruddy complexion and a vertical eye on his forehead. He looked at the second elder of the Heavenly God Academy and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, this is a Heavenly Horned Ant. It is extremely important and should be sent to my Immortal Academy for cultivation."

"Hehe, these horned ants were brought out by Huang, we have no right to interfere, you should ask him. As for this little ant, they have to be willing to go with you." The Second Elder said calmly.

Shi Hao stepped forward, preemptively silencing the crowd: "I will not join the Immortal Academy or the Holy Academy. The Grand Elder has been kind to me and helped me achieve my Dao path. I will never leave the Heavenly God Academy."

People from the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy felt their faces burning. Back then, the two academies didn't pay enough attention to the wilderness. Even if you entered the two academies back then, you wouldn't receive any training. All those resources were given to the children of the immortal families.

Now that Huang has refused so decisively, it has made them extremely embarrassed.

"I am in a hurry and need to find an opportunity with my mount. You all must leave immediately." The little ant stood tall and proud, its voice thin and childish, which sounded extremely grating to everyone's ears.

"Hey, who's your mount?" Shi Hao said helplessly.

"Hmph." The little ant perched on Shi Hao's shoulder and let out a soft hum.

Everyone's hearts sank. It was yet another being like the young Qilin, who, once it made up its mind, was unwilling to leave.

“No, this matter is of utmost importance. They are descendants of the Ten Fiends, and we absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen to them. They must be strictly protected and cannot be allowed to go on this dangerous journey with Huang,” someone said.

Shi Hao glanced at them; they were people from Wang Xi's family. The two sides had an old feud, and the fact that they were acting like this clearly showed that they were afraid he would obtain the Blood of Ultimate Power and fear that he would evolve into something even more unpredictable.

“I also think that makes sense. The Skyhorned Ants are almost extinct. Now that one has finally appeared, we must protect it well. The Longevity Family might be a good choice.” A middle-aged man spoke up. He was tall, handsome, and had an outstanding presence.

Shi Hao's gaze turned cold. He remembered this person too well. Yuan Qing of the Yuan Clan had become much younger. He had almost caused Shi Hao's death in the Primordial Ancient Mine and was the sinner who prevented him from entering the Heavenly God Academy.

“Hmm, that makes sense. We should indeed be careful about the safety of the horned ants. We can’t afford to lose them. It would be best to keep them alive.” Another old man chimed in.

"Oh? The Jin family has come. That's rare." Qi Shi'an's gaze was deep as he recognized their origin at a glance. The glaring Jin family crest could be seen everywhere.

"Little devil, I'll settle accounts with you after I deal with the Heavenly Horned Ants!" A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Jin family elder, revealing pure killing intent.

From the moment Jin Yun was injured until the recent killing of Jin Yan, the black-robed youth before them had repeatedly challenged the authority of the Jin family. They had to be captured alive and taken back to their clan to be thoroughly humiliated in order to vent their hatred.

Just then, the Second Elder of the Heavenly God Academy glanced at them and snorted coldly: "You're meddling too much. With the Heavenly God Academy here, who dares to make a move against Demon Boy, Huang, and the Heavenly Horned Ant!"

“Fellow Daoist, we are only acting out of good intentions. This matter is of utmost importance and cannot be taken lightly.”

"Yes, we must be cautious and careful."

The Wang and Jin families, two great families of immortality, have made statements one after another. These are two behemoths, families whose ancestors produced immortals. They look down upon the heavens and the earth, and every word they say carries great weight.

It is rumored that these two powerful families will soon form a marriage alliance, with the Jin family's top prodigy set to marry the Wang family's darling. At that time, the influence of these two forces will be even more terrifying.

Qi Shi'an's eyes were playful as he sneered, "Mind your own business! I know exactly what the Wang and Jin families are up to, what kind of shit they're going to spew. They're all scheming bastards with ulterior motives."

Everyone was shocked. This young man was truly fearless, daring to openly rebuke two great immortal families. He had guts!

The elder of the Jin family roared, "You little devil, you have repeatedly challenged the prestige of the Jin family. Do you really think that no one in the Jin family dares to kill you?!"

"I've heard that you not only nearly caused the downfall of the Wang family's precious jewel, but also spoke disrespectfully to the Wang family and even stole our family's secret techniques. Each of these three crimes is enough to kill you a thousand times over," a member of the Wang family chimed in.

"Wang Jiamingzhu was indeed a remarkable child, but she was born into a family that lacked discernment. Even in death, she deserved it. Besides, was what I said before wrong?"

Qi Shi'an remained indifferent and said in a cold voice, "Does your Wang family's son still guard the borderlands? I'm afraid the nine dragons that the Wang family boasts about can't even produce a decent battle record."

"They are nothing but rats in the gutter who have survived to this day by relying on the glory of their ancestors. They look magnificent, but they are already rotten inside. They are like a mirage, which will shatter at the slightest touch."

"The marriage alliance between the Jin and Wang families can be considered as collusion and birds of a feather. They are a den of snakes and rats, and can only enjoy it internally."

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath, their hearts trembling. How dare they call the nine dragons of the Wang family "dog sons"? What an insult!

Even the elders of the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy twitched at the corners of their mouths. They were still young after all, truly fearless like newborn calves.

The leaders of these two great immortal families, who are respected by even the most powerful, were unexpectedly insulted by a junior. It's truly a rare sight indeed.

"You little devil, how dare you insult my Wang family! You're asking for death!"

"Young man, I admit you're brave, but your abilities don't match your mouth!"

The powerful members of the Wang and Jin families attacked simultaneously, using secret techniques to kill Qi Shi'an in one fell swoop.

"Get out! Anyone who dares to lay a hand on my two disciples will be chopped off!"

Just then, a cold shout rang out, its terrifying aura overwhelming, descending from the heavens and repelling the powerful figures from the Wang and Jin families.

To dare to rebuke the people of the Changsheng family like that is so domineering that it's astonishing. It shows absolutely no mercy and is a blatant insult.

"who is it?"

"Who dares to stop me from exorcising demons!"

The powerful members of the Wang and Jin families were both shocked and furious. They could not tolerate being humiliated twice in a row!

boom!

A figure landed on the ground, his body straight as a pillar supporting the sky. He exuded an aura of power, his gray clothes fluttering in the wind, facing everyone directly.

"Elder!"

Everyone at the Heavenly God Academy was overjoyed. The Grand Elder, who had been missing for nearly three years, had returned. He was a formidable figure who feared no one in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

"Haha, the Grand Elder is back! What a joyous occasion! I think the Heavenly Horned Ants should stay at the Heavenly God Academy. Let's not fight over it anymore!" At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a crown laughed heartily.

People were astonished to learn that this person came from an extremely powerful family, belonging to the Immortal Dynasty, a family of immortals, but who had already established his own kingdom. He was Princess Yaoyue's father.

Immediately, many people echoed this sentiment, showing great respect for the Grand Elder, including many from the Longevity Dao lineage.

The elder, dressed in gray robes with his hair flowing freely, stood there calmly, his imposing presence not intimidating.

However, everyone could sense that this person possessed an aura that could overwhelm mountains and rivers, and was not to be trifled with.

This was like a wake-up call, or even an instinctive intuition. All the experts present felt apprehensive, even fearful.

"So you're a senior." The Wang family members put away their previous aggressive attitude and dared not be forceful anymore.

Facing the Grand Elder, how many people wouldn't be wary? Even if the oldest members of the clan were brought out, the situation would likely remain the same. Only when the true strength of the Wang family is revealed can one be truly confident.

The elder gave a cold glance, saying nothing, but exuding an astonishing sense of oppression that immediately made the Wang family members who came to visit feel a chill.

"It's been many years since we last met. Brother Dao, you are in excellent health and your demeanor is even more impressive than before," said the elder of the Jin family. He was a very high-ranking member of the clan and a senior figure.

"Is that so? I didn't even know I was better than before, otherwise how could anyone dare to lay a hand on the disciple I trained!" The First Elder's eyes were cold as he stared intently at the Jin family elder, showing no regard for the other party's seniority.

This one glance sent a chill down the spine of the Jin family elder, filling him with a deep-seated fear.

Unexpectedly, Meng Tianzheng, who had been injured for many years, not only did not regress, but also showed a momentum that surpassed his previous one, even more frightening than when he faced the ancient ancestor of the Jin family. He was like a ferocious dragon, ready to hunt at any moment.

"Brother Dao is joking. I was just joking with the junior."

The elders of the Jin family chuckled, completely abandoning their thoughts of vying for the Heavenly Horned Ants and avenging Jin Yan.

Chapter 298 A Powerful Move

"The Grand Elder has truly trained two outstanding disciples. They are both young, yet their talents are extraordinary, surpassing many ancient sages," said Xu Mingxuan, the ruler of the Changsheng Dynasty.

He was dressed in a golden robe embroidered with a real dragon, which shone brightly, and wore a crown, making him look extremely majestic.

This is an extremely powerful cultivator, very old, yet he still looks young and full of vitality.

Everyone knows that this person achieved the supreme position tens of thousands of years ago, and his strength is unfathomable. He is one of the most powerful beings in the Nine Heavens!

At least on the surface, the retired old emperor of the clan valued him highly, entrusting him with all the power and letting him handle all kinds of important matters.

No one expected that the ruler of the Eternal Dynasty, the Emperor, would personally visit the Muddy Pond and even try to curry favor with the Grand Elder. Was this an attempt to form an alliance?

It should be noted that this dynasty and the royal family have always been at odds, constantly vying for power. Otherwise, Princess Yaoyue would not have confronted Wang Xi so directly at the Heavenly God Academy.

Therefore, everyone in the Wang family felt a chill and showed a wary expression.
