Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

The group couldn't even imagine it.

What they didn't know was that Yang Xian's comprehension of the "Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Technique" had already surpassed the limits of their imagination.

It has reached the highest state of "returning to simplicity".

Otherwise, it would be impossible to trigger such a terrifying celestial phenomenon with a mere second-level cultivation.

"The battle over there... seems to be over."

Zhong Lianyun said in a deep voice, "Let's hurry over there and take a look."

At this moment, everyone's curiosity about the mysterious person who saved Ye Huairou had reached its peak.

Even Ye Huairou felt that she could no longer understand that annoying uncle.

A few minutes later, the five finally arrived at the scene of the battle.

The scene before them made everyone gasp in shock.

Within a radius of 100 meters, the area was in complete disarray.

The earth had been plowed by a terrifying force, leaving behind scorched pits and jagged cracks everywhere, and a pungent smell permeated the air.

The massive corpse of a Shadowclaw Demon Tiger lay silently in the center of the arena, its demonic core already removed.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle! Where are you?"

Ye Huairou shouted at the empty battlefield, but only the howling wind answered her.

After searching in vain, a strange sense of loss welled up in her heart.

He... just left like that?

Will we ever see each other again?

"The bloodstains on the ground are all from monsters."

Zhong Lianyun carefully examined the battlefield. "The person you mentioned should have left after killing the monster."

On the other side, a male student had already arrived at the giant tiger's corpse.

He looked at the tiger's corpse, which had been almost completely destroyed by the power of lightning, with a face full of awe: "To defeat a fourth-realm demon like this by one's own strength... even I am ashamed of my own strength."

"Could he also be a fourth-realm expert? I really wish I had the chance to spar with him."

The other man clenched his fist, his fighting spirit palpable.

"Uncle isn't at the fourth realm..." Ye Huairou subconsciously retorted, "He's a third realm martial artist."

However, Zhong Lianyun shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the four younger people present with a complicated expression.

"You're all wrong."

"The one who made the move is only at the second realm..."

As a sixth-realm Martial King, she could clearly sense the residual energy aura at the scene.

That energy belonging to martial artists, amplified by divine-level techniques, became incredibly powerful.

But at its core, it is indeed only at the level of a second-realm martial artist!

"What?!"

In an instant, the brains of the four Canglan students, including Ye Huairou, simultaneously went blank.

Second Realm?

With a cultivation level of only second realm, he killed a fourth realm demon two realms higher?!

Compared to this person, these geniuses are practically as stupid as pigs!

They can't even compare to a single hair of someone else's!

The group felt their worldviews were collapsing, and even Zhong Lianyun felt the same way!

"One is at the second realm... one is at the fourth realm..."

"To bridge this insurmountable gap, even mastering a divine-level technique to the point of 'complete understanding' would be absolutely insufficient!"

"That would at least be 'the pinnacle'! Perhaps even reaching 'returning to simplicity'!!"

"But...but how is this possible!"

"How could someone who has mastered a divine-level cultivation technique to this extent... only be at the second realm?!"

------

"Finally, I can go back..."

Yang Xian gazed at the outline of District G in the distance and let out a long sigh of relief.

He glanced down at his left hand.

The human skin mask that Jiang Mengyun gave him was now completely ruined, with several ferocious claw marks on it almost tearing it apart.

His combat uniform also had several holes in it.

The giant tiger launched a counterattack before it died. If it weren't for the basic defensive capabilities of its equipment, it probably would have been injured as well.

If the Su family's movement technique could be improved by one level, that heavily injured tiger wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of his clothes.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough points.

"This mask... was accidentally damaged by a monster, so it's not my fault."

Yang Xian muttered to himself as he carefully put away the damaged mask.

Jiang Mengyun gave a strict order: if he went out wearing it, he had to come back wearing it, to prevent him from having affairs.

Scratches are the best proof of exemption from liability.

"As for that girl Ye Huairou..."

When Yang Xian left the battlefield, he saw her following the group of people.

They must have been sent by Canglan University.

Instead of going up to say hello, he simply ran away.

They've bullied that girl so badly these past few days; her teacher is a sixth-realm Martial King.

Going there now would be suicide, wouldn't it?

Moreover, the commotion I just caused was really too big.

A lightning technique that triggers extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth will definitely make the opponent, unless they are a fool, doubt the power they possess.

You can't see into someone's heart.

Even if the other party was a professor from a prestigious university, Yang Xian wouldn't dare gamble with his life.

Winning a bet brings no benefit, but losing a bet means you lose everything.

It's best not to use the Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Technique until it's fully developed.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Yang Xian had already reached the city gate.

Many surviving martial artists were queuing up, waiting to enter the city for inspection, and the queue was filled with a sense of relief at surviving a disaster.

When it was Yang Xian's turn, he completed the identity verification as required.

The guard glanced at the information on the screen, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Second Realm?" The guard clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Young man, you're incredibly lucky to be alive."

"Even one person can come back alive."

"You wouldn't believe it, in just the last few days, at least eighty to a hundred martial artists have died outside the city, and several experts at the third realm inside have perished!"

Yang Xian simply gave a polite smile.

"Just lucky."

"I got separated from my teammates, and I'm already grateful to God for bringing me back alive..."

The guard checked his mission log again and found that it only involved clearing out low-level monsters, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Alright, go in."

Yang Xian nodded and stepped through the city gate.

However, he had only taken a few steps inside when a slender figure quickly came to greet him.

The person who came was wearing a school uniform that had faded a bit from washing, and had a pale face with faint dark circles under their eyes.

It was Tao Tao.

The moment she saw Yang Xian, a light shone in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.

She clearly recognized that he wasn't the person she was waiting for.

"Hello, young man."

"Excuse me... did you see an uncle named 'Yang Yang' outside the city?"

"He's about your height, and his appearance is very ordinary."

The girl had been waiting here for several days, asking countless martial artists who had returned from outside the city.

Every inquiry is a cycle of hope and despair.

Yang Xian subconsciously reached for the mask in his pocket.

For a moment, he didn't know how to start the conversation.

original……

She's been waiting for me to come back here...

Yang Xian's heart was inexplicably touched.

He looked into the girl's expectant eyes and asked.

"Little sister, what's your relationship with that uncle? Why are you looking for him?"

"I……"

Upon hearing this question, Tao Tao's mouth opened slightly.

Then, she clenched her fist, met Yang Xian's gaze, and said firmly:

"I...I'm his girlfriend!"

"I'm waiting for him to come back...to marry me!"
