"I’m going to look around," Fang Xiu said.
He was going to be an instructor for the new recruits, so naturally, he needed to familiarize himself with the area.
"This..."
Jian Ying hesitated for a moment, but then she recalled the scene of Fang Xiu hunting the Celestial Net Illusionary Serpent Lion.
She knew Fang Xiu’s strength surpassed everyone else’s here, so she nodded. "Be careful on your own, then. Don’t go too far. The farther you go, the more dangerous it gets."
"Okay."
Fang Xiu nodded.
Then, he bid farewell to the group and walked off into the distance.
Watching Fang Xiu walk away, several people turned to You Xiao. "Xiaohai, what happened just now? What did you see?"
"Huh? Nothing! I saw that Fang Xiu has limitless potential."
You Xiao froze for a second but quickly recovered.
He shook his head and spoke.
"You might be able to fool the others, but you can’t fool us. Spit it out, what really happened?"
This time, it was Jian Ying who spoke.
She was also very curious about what You Xiao could have possibly seen to get so spooked.
"Well... it wasn’t really anything."
You Xiao hesitated before saying, "I think I must have seen it wrong, or maybe it was something else."
"So what was it?"
Du Wan said, a little impatiently.
"Do you guys believe that Deities exist?"
You Xiao suddenly asked in return.
"Of course we do. Without Deities, how could there be Awakening? Every Profession has its own corresponding Deity. That’s common knowledge. Besides, Fang Xiu is a Sacrificial Master. He makes Sacrifices to Deities."
Although the question was sudden, everyone’s answer was surprisingly unanimous.
After Jian Ying finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yeah! Sister Jian is right."
"Mhm, every Profession has its own god."
"The existence of Deities is already a given."
"Why are you asking this?"
"..."
The chorus of agreement was loud.
But they didn’t understand what this had to do with Fang Xiu.
"A Sacrificial Master? Then it’s even more impossible. I must have seen it wrong."
You Xiao said, shaking his head.
"What was it already? Stop dragging it out."
Fan Gang, who was standing to the side, was getting impatient.
"I... I saw Fang Xiu beat up a Deity."
You Xiao said helplessly.
Even he couldn’t believe what he had seen.
And what he’d seen was even more outrageous. Although it wasn’t very clear, he saw Fang Xiu stomping a Deity under his foot.
That scene seemed so unreal.
He couldn’t even trust his own ability.
Let alone anyone else.
After a moment of silence...
"Alright, it’s confirmed. There’s something wrong with your ability."
Fan Gang said mercilessly.
"Mhm, a very serious problem."
Someone added in agreement.
You Xiao was speechless.
"I already said it wasn’t accurate, but you guys just had to keep asking!"
You Xiao was truly exasperated.
He also didn’t understand why he would see such an absurd scene.
’Maybe it really was just a jumbled vision.’
After all, he had never seen a Deity before.
But subconsciously, You Xiao just felt that the one getting beaten to a pulp was a Deity.
"Let’s not talk about this. Do you guys think someone was really controlling the Celestial Net Illusionary Serpent Lions today?"
At that, Jian Ying looked at the others and asked.
"Well... it’s not impossible."
Fan Gang thought for a moment and said, "After all, Fang Xiu was right. With so many Celestial Net Illusionary Serpent Lions, according to the rules of the Demon Beast Realm, at least one Elite Level should have appeared. But it didn’t."
"Mhm, I was thinking the same thing. It was too chaotic just now, so I didn’t think much of it. In that regard, Fang Xiu did better than us."
Jian Ying said.
The others also nodded slightly.
The newest among them had been on this Demon Beast Battlefield for five years, yet they were outdone by Fang Xiu on his very first day. It was almost laughable when they thought about it.
"In that case, Sister Jian, why don’t we tell Fang Xiu about ’them’? He must have noticed something. Won’t he think we’re shutting him out?"
An Awakened to the side asked, a bit confused.
"He just arrived today. I don’t want him to be disappointed in the Awakened."
Jian Ying explained, "Besides, Fang Xiu is smart. He’s bound to find out on his own. Telling him a little later won’t make a difference."
"Mmm, that’s fair."
Fan Gang and the others nodded slightly.
Then they dispersed to tend to their wounds and rest.
After leaving the residential area, Fang Xiu picked a random direction and started walking.
’There seem to be other secrets on this Demon Beast Battlefield, but since Jian Ying and the others won’t talk, there’s nothing I can do about it.’
At that moment, Fang Xiu decided to search for the secrets of the Demon Beast Battlefield on his own.
Based on the expressions of Jian Ying and the others just now, Fang Xiu was almost certain there were other people on this Demon Beast Battlefield.
’But why would they let these people exist on the Demon Beast Battlefield?’
Fang Xiu was rather curious.
After all, in his view, it was incredible that other people, or other Awakened, would be present on the Demon Beast Battlefield.
This was definitely not a good thing for the Awakened who were here to hunt Demon Beasts; it would only put them in greater danger.
’Why hasn’t anyone driven them away or... eliminated them?’
’Or are they so powerful that they can’t be eliminated or driven away?’
A few theories began to form in Fang Xiu’s mind.
Just as with ordinary people, not everyone was a good person.
There could be traitors among the Awakened, too.
Naturally, it was perfectly normal for individuals or organizations that opposed the Awakened to appear.
And perhaps such an entity existed right here on the Demon Beast Battlefield.
"Master."
Just then, Kajimi’s voice sounded out as her figure gradually materialized.
"What did you find?"
Fang Xiu asked.
"It’s just as you said, Master. There are other people here. But they only mentioned it briefly, without going into specifics."
Kajimi briefly recounted the conversation she had just overheard between Jian Ying and the others to Fang Xiu.
"I knew it."
After listening, Fang Xiu nodded slightly and sighed helplessly. "As I thought. On this Demon Beast Battlefield, the Demon Beasts aren’t the most dangerous thing."
Fang Xiu didn’t feel particularly disappointed in the Awakened, however.
After all, wherever there are people, there will be both good and bad.
In Fang Xiu’s eyes, the Awakened were no different. In fact, gaining power made it even easier for people to stray onto the wrong path.
"So, Master, what should we do now? Hunt those Awakened?"
Kajimi was eager to take action.
But Fang Xiu shook his head. "Since the Awakened here, and even the people from the Awakening Hall, aren’t getting involved, there’s no need for us to get involved either."
"If even they can’t handle it, how many could the two of us possibly kill?"
Fang Xiu wasn’t inclined to meddle.
Unless Jian Ying and the others showed up right now and said, "Let’s go destroy that villainous Awakened organization."
Then Fang Xiu might have gone along with them.
But since they were remaining indifferent, Fang Xiu certainly wasn’t going to be the one to stick his neck out.
Fang Xiu understood the principle that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
He had just arrived. It wasn’t worth the trouble.
"Yes, Master."
Kajimi nodded slightly.
Whatever Fang Xiu said, she felt was right.
"Come on, let’s just focus on getting familiar with our surroundings for now."
Fang Xiu smiled faintly and walked forward.
His pace was unhurried, almost as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
Kajimi followed by his side.
"By the way, Master, that person just now said he saw your potential... he saw you beating up a Deity."
Just then, Kajimi suddenly said.
"A Deity?"
Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, then nodded. "That must have been the Bright God!"
"It must have been."
Kajimi nodded like a bobblehead.
If Fang Xiu were to clash with any Deity, it would undoubtedly be the Bright God.
After all, the last time he made a Sacrifice to the Bright God, the item he received almost obliterated Kajimi.
Fang Xiu was still holding a grudge over it.
If it had just been a reward item capable of destroying Demon Beasts, Fang Xiu could have accepted it.
He could even have accepted it if it were specifically designed to target a Succubus.
But the Bright God had designed it so that the moment Fang Xiu opened it, it would attack Kajimi without any warning.
That was something Fang Xiu absolutely could not tolerate. He wouldn’t let anyone else have it either, so he chose to destroy it directly.
And that grudge was remembered by both Fang Xiu and Kajimi.
If Fang Xiu were to beat up any Deity, it would definitely be the Bright God.
"Master, something is approaching over there. I don’t know if it’s a person or a Demon Beast."
Just then, Kajimi suddenly spoke up.
"You can’t sense what it is?"
Fang Xiu wasn’t afraid.
"No, its aura is concealed."
Kajimi nodded slightly.
Whether human or certain Demon Beasts, some possessed such an ability.
But without a doubt, anything with that kind of ability was very strong!
