After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

After a long while, Chang Tianfang woke up. As soon as he woke up, he felt that his body was different. The different feeling was that his body was very numb. He could not feel the steering wheel at all when he was holding it. He just felt that he was holding something.

Chang Tianfang tried getting out of the car and punched a telephone pole outside. The fist mark was immediately left on the telephone pole, but Chang Tianfang felt no pain in his hand.

My physical strength has increased significantly, but I've lost all bodily sensation.

This is a bit troublesome. If the body doesn't know pain, then many times you won't know your own physical condition.

Therefore, if you improve your bloodline as soon as possible to the level of a ghost messenger or ghost general, you should avoid having so many flaws in your body.

Chang Tian put the van back, then checked the time. He realized he had been dizzy for about half an hour. Fortunately, there were no bad people around during that time, and he survived safely. With this experience, he would find a safe place to exchange items in the future.

Chang Tianfang sighed inwardly as he exchanged all his remaining points for drinking water and food. The way points were exchanged for physical goods was quite subtle; they weren't delivered directly to him. Instead, he had to choose a secluded location, and the goods would arrive naturally after fifteen minutes. Chang Tianfang had tried going to that location in advance to spy on how the supplies were transported.

But once you actually get there, before the supplies arrive, you'll never find your way. Even if you arrive at the destination ahead of time, you'll suddenly get lost and end up somewhere unknown.

Chang Tianfang wasn't a scientist and didn't understand what this phenomenon was, so he stopped looking at it after a few times.

This time, Chang Tianfang chose the second floor of a nearby commercial building as the location for the supplies.

After the system notified him that the supplies had arrived, Chang Tian drove to a nearby commercial building and carried the supplies down from the second floor.

This is where the benefits of the zombie bloodline became apparent. Chang Tianfang easily moved several tons of drinking water and food into his own van, and then drove back to the prison where he had housed his family survivors.

Halfway through the drive, the system suddenly appeared, and a banner appeared in front of Chang Tianfang's eyes.

"Random Quest Begins: The Battle of the Four Schools"

"The four-school competition initiated by the four divine beasts will determine the future political direction of the Eastern Xia United States. As the host of this system, you need to gain sufficient status and recognition in this competition and receive assistance from the federal government led by Xuanwu."

"Success rewards three Ghost Talismans, failure deducts 2000 Fate Points, and if Fate Points are insufficient, the character is eliminated."

"Note: There is one week left before the start of the four-school competition. The system will arrange for the host to arrive in Zhongzhou City. At that time, many random tasks will be available. Please complete as many tasks as possible and strive for more benefits."

……

"The plane will land at Zhongzhou International Airport in two minutes..."

"Please unfasten your seatbelt only after the plane has come to a complete stop..."

An airplane fell from mid-air, skidded on the ground for a while, and then came to a stop.

The cabin door opened, and Zhou Yan and other students and teachers from the Vermilion Bird Academy disembarked one after another. The first teacher to get off waved to his students.

"Alright, my children, our school has arranged vehicles outside. Please get off in an orderly manner, and I will take you to the best hotel nearby."

The students from Zhuque Academy who disembarked from the plane spontaneously formed two lines and walked out of the airport under the guidance of their teachers.

Zhongzhou Airport is quite different during this time of year. A platoon of fully armed soldiers is stationed outside the airport. When Zhou Yan and his group went out, these soldiers checked their identification with the teachers from Zhuque Academy before letting them go.

Outside the military base were five large buses, each capable of carrying eighty people.

Zhou Yan and Lin Anru boarded the second bus together and sat down in the seats next to the driver.

As soon as he sat down, Lin Anru sighed.

"It's only been a few months since I last came here, how did Zhongzhou City become like this?"

Another demigod student, Ying Chengfeng, who followed him up, echoed this sentiment.

"That's still good. In my hometown, only a few cities have troops. Other places are still in chaos."

As he spoke, Ying Chengfeng sighed sadly.

The military is now on martial law in all major cities across the country, in case some people who have lost their entire families take revenge on society, or various disaster victims who keep pouring in from the outskirts of the cities.

Therefore, the stricter the military control, the better the public security in the area. The fact that Zhongzhou City has such strict military control is something that residents of other cities with riots envy.

Once the passengers had arrived, the driver started the vehicle and drove towards the hotel that Suzaku Academy had recently booked.

Zhou Yan, who was drinking a beverage, turned his head and looked out the car window.

Zhou Yan had been to this road before, where the bus was now traveling. In the past, this road was crowded with people, full of happy and shopping people. Now, this street is full of soldiers with weapons and strict officers. Even when someone occasionally comes out, they hang their heads and look gloomy.

Even in Zhongzhou, where federal government resources were concentrated, the plague caused by Zhao Wenhe resulted in more than one-tenth of the population dying, and this one-tenth of the deaths plunged the entire city into deep sorrow.

However, this sorrow is only temporary. Even Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun have to admit that after this great disaster, due to the massive loss of population, everyone who survived will have a job. Xuanwu has also planned to suppress the country's education industry and make sure to absorb more commoner elites into the management class.

In the next thirty years, a large number of middle-class people will inevitably emerge.

Sometimes life is just so strange. The old man Zhongdou Xingjun said he wanted to save the world, and his methods were the most ruthless, direct, and effective.

Ten minutes later, the vehicle arrived at a large hotel, and the students from Zhuque Academy got off one after another.

Suzaku Academy has two thousand students, with four hundred arriving every day. They will all be there two days before the four-school competition, and then they will accompany the other three schools, totaling about nine thousand people, to the Zhongzhou City Gymnasium to watch the competition of demon-level and higher-level awakened individuals.

Putting everything else aside, the gathering of nearly ten thousand awakened individuals at least creates a significant spectacle.

"Alright, the children are coming into the hotel one after another. We've already booked the hotel, and the worst rooms are all single rooms, so you don't have to worry about being disturbed."

The head of discipline at Suzaku Academy went to the hotel front desk, started taking room keys from the hotel staff, and then distributed them to his students.

Zhou Yan, Ying Chengfeng, and Lin Anru, as the top students, were all assigned the best room cards.

When distributing room cards, the discipline director muttered something under his breath.

"If Liu Yuedong doesn't come today, we won't be able to get a good room later."

Previously, Liu Yue Dong, the mother of the Golden Silkworm Gu, was frightened by Zhou Yan, so she dared not travel with him to Zhongzhou City this time and could only come a few days later.

Zhou Yan smiled faintly at this, and then led Lin Anru and Ying Chengfeng to the staircase.

There were several hundred people in the lobby, and Zhou Yan was too lazy to fight with his classmates for the elevator, so he just went upstairs by himself.

There were several people on the stairs. These people had strong facial features and delicate features, but they had an exotic look. They were obviously not locals of the Eastern Xia Federation. These foreigners were also chatting in their native language.

Zhou Yan couldn't understand what these people were talking about, but as they spoke, cartoon-like dialogue boxes popped up one after another.

"These are the students from Suzaku Academy? They're so weak. I could crush ten of them with one hand."

Zhou Yan glanced at the person who spoke, and realized that his bloodline was that of the Black Impermanence.

Another beautiful young woman chimed in.

“I went to the First Academy before, the one where Qinglong is the principal. Ha, apart from that gibbon, there wasn’t a single one worth looking at.”

"I also think that the schools run by the Four Divine Beasts seem to be nothing special except for their large number."

"Tsk tsk, that's how the Eastern Xia Federation is. They only lose because they have a lot of people, like cockroaches. They all attack at once when it comes to fighting, which is why we can't beat them."

"Haha, human wave tactics, oh no, cockroach wave tactics."

"enough!"

A blond, blue-eyed man with delicate features like a young girl spoke, and the group of foreigners around him immediately fell silent, their faces showing fear.

Zhou Yan glanced at the man, then his eyes widened in astonishment.

Height: 179cm.

Weight: 100 kg.

Personal attributes.

Neural reaction speed: 8000

Bloodline Awakening Passive Skill.

Fire God: Immune to all fire-based magic, spells, and evil arts.

Divine Fire: It can burn all living beings and things that do not possess divinity.

Nine Dragons Divine Fire: Can summon nine fire dragons, each capable of defeating nine Zhou Yan.

Divine Body: The body has no weaknesses and can quickly recover from damage using flames.

Fire Release: Allows the user to leap between any point of flame within a 30-kilometer radius.

Zhou Yan then checked the nationality of this true god; he was from the East Sea Kingdom.

The Eastern Sea Kingdom is a major international power with numerous relationships and rivalries with the Eastern Xia Federation. Although its national strength cannot compare with that of the Eastern Xia Federation, it is still a force to be reckoned with. Zhou Yan had no interest in this country in the past, but now, seeing the bloodline of this Wang Xuan and the group of demigods surrounding Wang Xuan...

Zhao Wenhe's plague is very violent, even capable of killing Awakened Ones, but so far, the highest level of Awakened Ones it can kill is Demon-level. In the Eastern Xia United Kingdom, no Awakened Ones of demigod level or above have died.

This matter has probably been discovered by foreign governments, and they have now sent people to investigate the true nature of the Eastern Xia Federation.

However, Zhou Yan felt that these countries had ulterior motives for specifically choosing to come and investigate during the four-school competition.

Furthermore, there are indeed many hidden gods in this world. First there was Zhao Wenhe, and now Wang Xuan has emerged.

A time of great turmoil.

Zhou Yan glanced at the Fire Department True Monarch Wang Xuan again. This man, who now had the appearance of a complete foreigner, noticed Zhou Yan's gaze, and smiled politely at him.

There was not a trace of hostility.

Zhou Yan nodded to Wang Xuan, then led Lin Anru and Ying Chengfeng up the stairs.

After Zhou Yan walked away, a man next to Wang Xuan nudged Wang Xuan's side with his elbow and asked curiously.

"What, interested in that pretty girl from earlier? She was quite dashing."

The surrounding demigods burst into laughter. They could tell that Lin Anru was one of the strongest students in the Vermilion Bird Academy, and therefore worthy of their bloodline.

Wang Xuan shook his head and said calmly.

"That girl was so-so, but the child who looked after me just now was different."

Wang Xuan smiled at his friend beside him.

“If my sister were here, I would have to make her interact with that child more.”

Wang Xuan's friend, Le Dao.

"Interesting. Vermilion Bird Academy does have a few impressive kids. But you, with your Xia Clan bloodline, really like recruiting members of your own clan."

Wang Xuan smiled but remained silent.

Throughout its history, the Eastern Xia Federation has spread its culture to surrounding countries. Almost every large country in the vicinity has an inextricable relationship with the Eastern Xia Federation. Even if some countries speak different languages, they still use the Chinese characters of the Eastern Xia Federation.

The Donghai Kingdom is a case in point. A thousand years ago, this country was a barren land with an extremely backward way of life and culture. It wasn't until the Dongxia Federation suffered consecutive years of disasters, forcing many of its ancient people to leave in search of a living, that the Donghai Kingdom acquired a large number of highly skilled individuals who possessed the cultural ideas and various handicraft skills of the Dongxia Federation. These highly skilled individuals naturally became the local nobility in the subsequent development of the Donghai Kingdom and have guided the national culture and thought of the Donghai Kingdom to this day.

This noble family had a title: Xia Clan.

Wang Xuan is a nobleman of the Xia clan who has lived for thousands of years. Although he no longer has the appearance of a person from the Eastern Xia Federation, and his attitude towards the Eastern Xia Federation is that he will never skimp on anything he can get his hands on.

Chapter Nine Contact

Zhou Yan, Lin Anru, and Ying Chengfeng each went to the room indicated on their room cards.

After all, it was a high-end suite for Awakened Ones, and for a high-level Awakened One like Zhou Yan. When Zhou Yan walked into the living room, he saw a plate of fruit that had been delivered. When he opened the refrigerator in the corner of the bedroom, it was full of free high-end drinks.

Zhou Yan casually took out a bottle of Wansui Mountain mineral water. He had seen it online and it was said to cost 500 RMB per bottle. Some rich kids like to show off their wealth and use Wansui Mountain water to bathe. They would spend tens of thousands of RMB on a single bath and consider it a saving.

However, that's all in the past. In this day and age, apart from the capitalists in Zhongzhou City and the cities controlled by the Four Divine Beasts, capitalists in other places are almost all dead.

That's why choosing a safe place to live is so important. Other places are full of mobs, but here you can live peacefully in a luxury hotel suite and enjoy these luxuries.

Zhou Yan opened the bottle cap and took a sip.

There's not much difference. It feels like the one that costs 500 yuan a bottle is about the same as the one that costs 1 yuan a bottle.

It seems to be saying that rich people only wear high-end gowns once, which is really showing off their wealth.

Zhou Yan finished his water, then grabbed a bottle of juice, closed the refrigerator lid, and just as he closed it, the doorbell rang, followed by Zhu Que's voice.

"Xiao Yan, are you there?"
