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

As he spoke, the young man from the Zhao family looked at Su Bijun from Indiana. This holy maiden of the Miro Cult spread her supernatural powers outwards, and all awakened beings and commoners below the Ghost level immediately felt a strong liking for this beautiful girl who was as lovely as an orchid in a secluded valley.

In response to this positive feeling, Su Bijun spoke softly.

"Heaven is merciful and cannot bear to see the people suffer. It has sent us into the world to save them. However, I am of humble status and weak words. If I wish to save the people, I will need your help."

The young man from the Zhang family clenched his fists.

"Everyone, we are all citizens of the Eastern Xia United States. For the sake of our country, we must work together."

The people in the square looked at each other, and many of them showed signs of resignation.

Those invited here are basically people who hold positive views on the Miluo religion in Indiana and the Taisho descendants in Western India. At this moment, the Taisho descendants and the Miluo religion are recruiting together. Many members of Congress, wealthy people, and awakened individuals who have already been recruited in private have begun to take action, discussing with their friends and acquaintances that there really are gods on the Miluo religion side, and that they are not just low-level priests like the Four Divine Beasts.

As for the Zhao family of Xiluo Prefecture, they are descendants of the emperor, personally appointed by Heaven.

Then Zhou Yan and Lin Anru, who were standing in the corner, were ignored by everyone else. No one came up to persuade them, except for Little Yama who came over with two little girls.

The three children approached Zhou Yan together. Little Yama looked at Su Bijun, who was standing at the front and in charge of the entire banquet, and said, "I am a descendant of the Zhao family."

"A bunch of charlatans, a bunch of remnants of the previous dynasty, still dreaming of changing the dynasty."

Zhou Yan said sarcastically.

"And they even hugged each other."

Judging from the appearance of Su Bijun and the descendants of the Zhao family, Zhou Yan could tell with his own eyes that these two forces were probably afraid of the pressure from the cooperation of the four divine beasts of the federal government, so they joined forces in an attempt to increase their influence.

Of course, the premise of this alliance is that the charlatan and the monarch are not actually in conflict. In all the dynasties before the Eastern Xia Federation, the monarch and the religion ruled together, and the monarch performed sacrifices to heaven and gods countless times every year.

However, the emperors of previous dynasties were able to suppress religious forces, and the practice of governing the country through religion was extremely rare in the history of the Eastern Xia Federation.

Therefore, Zhou Yan estimated that if the Zhao family of Xiluozhou and the Su family of Yindizhou were to succeed in the future, they would definitely fight fiercely over whether the future would be one of absolute monarchy or religious rule.

They might even be wary of each other now, secretly preparing to betray their teammates.

Zhang Ye's father from Indiana came out, and the energetic middle-aged man spoke sincerely.

"Everyone, you are not just representing yourselves or your families, but millions of people in the Eastern Xia United States. I have personally witnessed families torn apart by disease and people losing their lives, and I have also personally witnessed villains who take revenge on society because they have lost hope for the future..."

Zhang Ye's father looked heartbroken.

"The calamities sent down by the gods have left our country devastated, but now, the merciful Celestial Venerable Miluo has shown us a path that will allow us to safely overcome these calamities."

What are we waiting for?

Zhang Ye's father's voice hardened.

"We must work hard for our country, for our families, and for all the children of this country's future."

"This is the mission of us in positions of power!"

"Wait a minute about the mission... I heard..."

A young voice came from the corner.

Zhang Ye's father looked towards the corner, and his heart sank.

He saw Zhou Yan holding Lin Anru's arm.

Zhou Yan smiled at Zhang Ye's father.

"...It seems that Ms. Su Bijun is going to participate in the four-school competition?"

Zhang Ye's father looked at Su Bijun.

Su Bijun still maintained her usual radiant and unapproachable demeanor.

"...I shouldn't be involved in this four-school competition. But the Celestial Venerable advised me that worldly affairs require perseverance, and that without experiencing human suffering, how can one understand the ways of humanity and help protect all living beings? For the sake of all living beings, I stepped forward."

Lin Anru, who was standing next to Zhou Yan, sneered.

"You talk like you're some kind of god. Those sluts just like to pretend to be virtuous."

Lin Anru just couldn't stand Su Bijun's arrogant attitude, as if she were superior to the students of the four schools and could win with a flick of her wrist. If she hadn't promised Zhou Yan to be his obedient companion today, Lin Anru would have already verbally abused this pretentious Su Bijun to the point of disbelief.

A member of the Wang family from Indiana, who idolized Su Bijun, stepped forward and mocked Lin Anru, who had just spoken.

"What do you flowers grown up in a greenhouse know? Our Su Bijun is blessed by the gods and has outstanding talent. Even the top warriors of the honor battlefield combined are no match for my Su Bijun."

"Even the champions of your four schools throughout the years might not be able to beat our War God of Honor. Hmph, it's just the right time to let the whole country see that our Sister Su beats your four school elites like beating a dog."

Now, the Four Divine Beasts have opened up the competition among the four schools, and have brought the competition to its maximum level of popularity, making it a national event.

If Su Bijun can truly defeat all the demigods and above students from the four schools with an absolute kingly demeanor, she will naturally gain countless attention, and her words will naturally be heard by countless people. If even a few of these countless people believe her words, then spreading her teachings in the future will be much easier.

After all, the idea of ​​one person defeating four elite schools in a single battle and winning every single one is truly legendary.

Zhang Ye's father immediately reprimanded the Wang family's children.

"Don't talk nonsense. There's nothing in this world that's not available. You're so short-sighted, what do you know? Hurry up and go back, don't embarrass your family."

That's what they said, but when Zhang Ye's father turned around, he looked so arrogant that he looked up at them. Not only Zhang Ye's father, but also a group of Taisho descendants looked back at Zhou Yan and his companion, their eyes filled with haughty arrogance.

They dared not insult the Four Divine Beasts, and had to bow their heads in front of them. But why didn't they dare to discriminate against Zhou Yan, a student from one of the Four Schools with no family background or noble status?

The other wealthy individuals and members of parliament, however, looked at Zhou Yan with rather solemn expressions.

Some suspected that Zhou Yan was sent by the Vermilion Bird to cause trouble. The Zhao family of Xiluo Prefecture and the Su family of Yindi Prefecture had already caused such a ruckus that they had attracted the attention of the Four Divine Beasts.

"Victory or defeat means nothing to me, but in order to protect the world, I will show the whole nation how insignificant an individual's power is before the will of Heaven."

Su Bijun's ethereal voice became increasingly distant, as if she had descended from the heavens and floated down to earth.

Zhou Yan clapped his hands, and Lin Anru, understanding the situation, let go of his hand.

Zhou Yan smiled jokingly and slowly walked towards Su Bijun.

"I really like a quote from a certain plague god..."

Zhou Yan looked at the Zhao family descendants in Xiluo Prefecture.

"Man can conquer nature!"

Across from her, Su Bijun's lips parted slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Isn't something going wrong with how things are developing?

Zhou Yan was invited to the dinner party by her, and she was prepared to talk to him about Yingzhao after the party, since they were supposed to be teammates exchanging benefits.

Why is Zhou Yan speaking so rudely now that he's come out?

Aren't you afraid that when you pay later, you'll give me a few less zeros?

"Young man, this is not a place for you to fool around."

Sensing something was wrong, Zhang Ye's father went outside.

From the moment Zhou Yan started scaring his daughter and son, this father sensed that Zhou Yan was up to no good. Now, Zhou Yan's increasingly violent appearance perfectly matched Zhang Ye's father's earlier prediction.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot let this young man ruin our family's banquet.

Zhang Ye's father walked out and reached Zhou Yan in a few steps. This man's bloodline was Jin Wenhu. Tracing the source of his bloodline, it seemed to be the tiger god subdued by the Arhat who subdued the tiger back then.

This tiger god was a divine beast subdued by an Arhat. When it came to Zhang Ye's father, it manifested as a demigod. However, there were no true gods in Indiana, so Zhang Ye's father, who had the bloodline of the Golden Tiger, easily became a top figure in Indiana based on his bloodline.

However, in order to hone his martial arts skills, Zhang Ye's father used to fight against different opponents on the Indiana ring every day when he was young. His bare fists killed countless warriors.

Zhou Yan is only eighteen years old, and Zhang Ye's father has probably been killing people in the ring for longer than Zhou Yan is now.

Zhang Ye's father was very confident that he could overpower Zhou Yan and get this troublesome brat out.

When they reached five meters in front of Zhou Yan, Zhang Ye's father didn't say much and reached out to wave his hand at Zhou Yan.

Suddenly, the airflow surged, and some people nearby couldn't withstand the wind and retreated.

Zhou Yan chuckled and took a step forward. Those with poor dynamic vision could only see Zhou Yan disappear instantly, followed by a series of dense explosions. Amidst the explosions, Zhang Ye's father staggered back several steps.

With each step, the ground trembled slightly, causing many of the seasonings in the hands of the surrounding chefs to roll away.

Zhou Yan stood motionless, with his hands behind his back where Zhang Ye's father had just been.

After retreating, Zhang Ye's father looked solemn. Just now, Zhou Yan leaned forward and exchanged five punches with him. As a tiger-type divine beast, Zhang Ye's father's strength attribute had always been superior to other demigods, but after exchanging punches, Zhang Ye's father clearly felt that Zhou Yan's strength was at least 30% stronger than his.

So he took several steps back.

Of course, Zhang Ye's father's retreat was simply because he was weaker than his opponent, and there was still a good fight ahead. But in the eyes of the surrounding audience, it looked like Zhang Ye's father had been defeated by Zhou Yan in the first exchange and had lost.

A young man from the Taisho clan of Xiluozhou, standing nearby, shouted.

"You're utterly ignorant and shameless. Is this the place for you to throw a tantrum?"

The young man from the remnant clan stepped out, using the Bagua Step. His body moved in several arcs that were invisible to normal people, leaving a bunch of afterimages before he arrived in front of Zhou Yan and then threw a punch.

A sound like firecrackers exploding rang out in mid-air.

Zhou Yan didn't look at the Zhao family member who was approaching him, but instead looked at the group of the remnants of the Great Zheng clan not far away. The entire clan was surrounding a handsome young man with regular features who vaguely resembled Zhao Wenhe.

This is Zhao Wenhe's great-grandson, whose bloodline is the Brute Force Divine Tooth Chisel. He also learned the Imperial Extreme World-Shaking Fist passed down by Zhao Wenhe. He is one of the young people sent by the Zhao family of Xiluozhou in this four-school competition, preparing to compete for a seat in Congress.

"Sizzle!"

Zhou Yan remained standing still, when a flash of purple light appeared in front of the young man from the remnant clan who was throwing a punch at him.

This young man is also a demigod, with the bloodline of the Huatuo, a kind of hairy humanoid monster. He is a melee-type demigod and is the most outstanding young generation in Xiluo Prefecture. However, he is still a bit inferior to Zhao Wenhe's great-grandson. Therefore, he suddenly came out this time to test Zhou Yan's level.

Everyone around Zhou Yan knows his identity; he is the top student of the four academies. Fighting with Zhou Yan is enough to know the level of the top students of the four academies.

The Taisho descendants from Xiluo Prefecture and the Su family from Yindi Prefecture came to participate in the Four Schools Competition with political goals. They did not dare to use Su Bijun and Zhao Wenhe's great-grandchildren to compete against the top students of the Four Schools Competition, for fear that if they lost, their divinity would be exposed.

Now that Zhou Yan is here, it's a good time to test him.

However, the target level for this test was too high.

When the young men from Xiluozhou who came to test the waters approached Zhou Yan, they only saw that Zhou Yan's fist did not change, as if it were a straight punch.

Then, bolts of lightning swirled around Zhou Yan's fist.

The young man from Xiluozhou, who was still using the Bagua Step to move around, widened his eyes. The fist hit him precisely where he was about to land 0.001 seconds later.

His fists flew like a purple dragon, the purple dragon filling his body.

"Boom..."

The young man from Xiluo Prefecture seemed to have run into Zhou Yan's fist. His body then flew out in an arc, and upon landing, purple lightning continued to dance on his body, rendering him unable to move.

Surrounded by the remnants of the Taisho clan, Zhao Wen and his great-grandson whispered.

"His predictive ability is unparalleled."

The person he sent out to test the waters wasn't some blockhead who only knew how to use tricks and didn't know how to adapt. Even Zhao Wen and his great-grandson wouldn't dare say they understood the Bagua Step just now, but Zhou Yan directly punched the tester in a position that the tester couldn't dodge at all.

This was not simply a matter of overwhelming power, but a seemingly effortless punch delivered after pushing technique and awareness to their peak.

If this kind of person represents the pinnacle of students from the four top schools...

Zhao Wen and his great-grandson couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

Do these four divine beasts really have so many talents under their command who are no less capable than themselves?

Zhao Wen and Zeng N Sun slowly turned their heads. He saw Su Bijun, who also had a solemn expression. Their eyes met, and they both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Given the strength Zhou Yan has shown so far, it's fortunate that he's joined forces with others.

"You bastard..."

Zhang Ye's grandfather came out, along with many security guards, some of whom were demigods.

Grandpa Zhang Ye said solemnly.

“We don’t welcome disruptive guests, you…”

Zhou Yan interrupted.

"You don't think I came here to attend a party, do you?"

Zhou Yan snapped his fingers.

A member of Congress suddenly threw an unconscious person out of the crowd.

Zhou Yan said loudly.

"Everyone, can you believe it? These people claim to be protected by gods, and that they originally didn't want to go to the Four Schools Competition, but came down to earth to save the world, and that they are from the royal family."

Zhou Yan reached out and pointed at Su Bijun and the members of the Taisho clan one by one.

"They actually sent assassins to kill me!"

Zhou Yan then pointed to the black-lined assassin at his feet and said righteously.
