Lin Yaoxie naturally made his own choice. The others did not attack Flying Tiger, and Lin Yaoxie did not return the way he came. Instead, he went deeper into the area. "Boss, if we go any further in, it will be even more beyond my capabilities."

“I didn’t ask you to deal with them. If you encounter any spirit beasts, all you have to do is watch and not interfere,” Zhong Jin nodded. “We understand. You want us to broaden our horizons.”

Lin Yaoxie hadn't actually thought that way, but since Zhongjin had already said so, Lin Yaoxie accepted it.

"System, you said there are spirit beasts here that can make me stronger. Are you sure you're not just going to your death? These are all spirit beasts at the god-level. I, a quasi-saint, can't handle them. Are you aware of that?"

"Found it. It's in the cave around the corner. It has what you're looking for. Don't disturb the powerful thing," the system said before falling silent.

Lin Yaoxie indeed found a cave, which was pitch black inside. "This is it. You all stay here and guard it," Lin Yaoxie said as he walked inside.

As soon as he got close, he felt a powerful force. A roar from a spirit beast shook Lin Yaoxie so much that he had to retreat. Only after getting closer could he see what was inside.

A furry creature was sleeping soundly, surrounded by leftover bones, whether human or other animal bones, it was unclear. Lin Yaoxie's aura startled the spirit beast in front of him.

Its body slowly unfolded, its mouth wide open. What happened next was even more unbelievable to Lin Yaoxie: the furry monster began to shrink, and its fur actually turned into armor.

It transformed into a palm-sized spirit beast, flew onto Lin Yaoxie's hand, and in its moment of joy, suddenly bit Lin Yaoxie. Lin Yaoxie, in pain, jerked it away, and the little monster flew off.

"System, are you kidding me? What is this thing? It's so small, I could crush it with one hand. Are you crazy? How can you treat your host like this?"

Lin Yaoxie was filled with despair. The little monster kept flying around Lin Yaoxie, and Lin Yaoxie suddenly realized that he could understand the monster's speech.

"Master, Master, your blood is so sweet," Lin Yaoxie sensed in his mind, but before he could understand what was happening, the screams from the cave were already clearly audible. "Qingwei, what's wrong with you?"

"Boss, a divine beast, a Qilin! We can't hold them off anymore! Did you get the item?" Lin Yaoxie gritted his teeth, stuffed the little monster into his clothes, and quickly ran out.

Seeing Lin Yaoxie emerge, the four scattered. "Hurry up, don't linger, let's meet back at the bamboo house," Lin Yaoxie said as he ran. Qilin's target was immediately locked onto Lin Yaoxie. "What did you take? Hand it over! Do you know that 823 is a descendant of a god? Put him down!" Qilin chased after him desperately, but Lin Yaoxie didn't give up either; he couldn't have come all this way for nothing.

At the critical moment, the little monster inside the clothes suddenly rushed out, shouting, "Get back inside! Are you trying to kill me by coming out now?"

"Master, I'll protect you! I'll kill that bad guy!" The little monster charged out, and Lin Yaoxie couldn't stop it at all. He didn't even look back; turning back would mean certain death. Back in the bamboo house, everyone was panting heavily. Lin Yaoxie remained silent. "You all go back. I need to go back; I need something I lost."

Chapter Seven H - Little Monster

"Boss, are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous that place is?" Bei Jiang stopped Lin Yaoxie, and as he pushed, the door opened.

A small monster landed on Lin Yaoxie's shoulder.

"What is this? A bird! It looks so unique, it's practically a miniature version of a Qilin. Its wings are so strong!" The four of them became interested and surrounded Lin Yaoxie.

"You actually came back, and you actually managed to defeat the Qilin, which is dozens of times stronger than your body. From now on, I'll call you Little Monster. You're terrifyingly strong."

"This name is barely acceptable. Master, you have awakened me. We are now connected by blood. Your birthday is my birthday, and your death is my death."

This spirit beast is terrifyingly powerful and mysteriously unfathomable. "Congratulations, Boss, on obtaining such a powerful spirit beast," Zhong Jin said happily.

"Alright, now I'll ask you a question. I want to know who among you truly wants to follow me. I'm a man who seeks the strongest, and there will be countless trials and tribulations along the way. I can't guarantee your safety either."

Lin Yaoxie's sudden seriousness left the four of them puzzled. "Boss, I don't have any big goals. I'm the young master of the family, and I'm already very satisfied."

All four of them gave the same explanation. They were all of prominent status, and if it weren't for their powerful strength suppressing them, they wouldn't have followed them so wholeheartedly.

"You may leave. I will not force you to stay. You all have your own choices. I thank the four of you for buying me time to hold off the Qilin. I hope you will not do bad things in the future and will live up to your conscience."

"I will obey the boss's orders."

"We shall part ways here."

Lin Yaoxie bid farewell to the four, feeling somewhat disappointed. However, he understood that forcing them to stay by his side would not end well. The four were of prominent status, and their families would not allow their young masters to become their underlings.

How Lin Yaoxie chooses to proceed from here on out is his own decision.

Passing by a tavern, Lin Yaoxie went inside. He was exhausted from traveling for many days and wanted to have a big meal. "Bring me the best food and drinks you have here."

While they were feasting, a group of martial artists arrived. The aura emanating from them was that of a Saint, far inferior to Lin Yaoxie. "Waiter, come on, bring all your wine."

"All of you? There are still so many guests, could you...?"

"Are you afraid we won't pay? Do you know where we're going? Absolute Kill Academy. Don't force us to use you as our target."

Xiao Er's legs suddenly went weak with fear, and many of the diners quietly left. Lin Yaoxie was curious as to why the people here were so afraid of the Absolute Kill Academy.

“I’m so sorry, sir. Your life is more important. Please leave quickly,” the waiter said as he approached Lin Yaoxie. “What exactly is the Absolute Kill Academy? Why are you all so afraid?”

"Sir, are you new to this place? Let me tell you, the Absolute Kill Academy (Qian Lehao) is on that mountain. The people there are ruthless killers with extremely high cultivation levels. I've heard that their recruitment condition is killing; one out of ten people who kills will be accepted."

"Is it really that cruel? Then why would anyone go?"

"It's all about getting ahead. That's how the world is. Without power or influence, you can only rely on your own life to fight for something. Everyone knows it's not good, but every year there are still a constant stream of people looking for it."

"I don't want any more alcohol, just meat and vegetables will do."

Chapter Seventy-Two: The Academy of Absolute Kill

Lin Yaoxie became interested in the Absolute Kill Academy. The first step to conquering this world was to enter the Absolute Kill Academy, which sounded very impressive.

Only Lin Yaoxie and the other four remained in the tavern. "Come on, drink! Let's have one last good drink. If we don't succeed this time, we'll all turn to bones."

"Hey, why aren't you leaving yet? Consider this our initiation gift."

The four men drew their swords and surrounded Lin Yaoxie. "I don't want to kill you, don't make a fool of yourselves," Lin Yaoxie said coldly, while the four men laughed wildly.

"You can only blame your bad luck for running into us, 823. As long as you have one life, all four of us can get in," the leader said, his knife already at Lin Yaoxie's neck.

A flash of light, and before the three could react, a gash appeared on their throats, blood gushing out. The moment the leader exhaled, he knelt in terror, pleading, "Quasi-Saint level! We meant no offense! We're sorry, please spare us!"

"I gave you a chance just now, die!"

“You can’t kill me. If you want to get into the Absolute Kill Academy, I can help you. My brother holds an important position there. It’ll be a piece of cake to get both of us in.”

Lin Yaoxie hesitated for a moment, but without showing any mercy, he still made his move.

Lin Yaoxie knocked on the gates of the Absolute Kill Academy, intending to enter, but was stopped. "Don't you know the rules? Where's your pass?" The meaning was clear.

"The four of you are in the bag behind you. Go and see for yourselves."

"Kid, if you want to get into the Absolute Kill Academy, you'd better be polite. Here, your status is only higher than crawling on the ground. Go in, you'll have a hard time later."

Once inside, there was a sea of ​​people, all queuing up. Lin Yaoxie felt nauseous. One person, one life. Just how many people had these people killed?

"Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you all here. There are many people this year, including powerful individuals at the Human Emperor level and weak ones. You should all be aware of the rules of the Absolute Kill Academy: the strong prey on the weak."

"Based on your performance (aefe), you will be divided into five levels: five or more people will be considered superior, five will be considered average, five or fewer will be considered inferior, two will be considered lower-ranking, and one will be the worst."

unmanned."

"The Academy of Absolute Kill only accepts the top 100. You have seven days to eliminate the people around you, no matter what method you use. You will be the winner and enter the academy to improve as a victor."

After saying that, he left. Lin Yaoxie did not expect that an academy could be reduced to this state: 100 out of 200 people were left to run, kill, or be killed.

Inside a room, an old man smashed a cup. "Who are you? Who dared to kill my men? All four of them have been killed. Do you even respect me, Jue Xiong?"

"Master, we've found this person. There was only one person in this group who killed four people, and it happened in the tavern."

"who?"

"Lin Yaoxie, an unknown nobody."

"Are you sure he's some nobody? Nobody supports him daring to kill my people."

"If I don't kill him, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart."

As night fell, no one dared to sleep, for no one wanted to die in their sleep. Lin Yaoxie walked to a secluded spot, closed his eyes to rest, and sensed the presence of several people.

"You are Lin Yaoxie. You killed that Jue Xiong's man. Someone wants your life."

Five people surrounded Lin Yaoxie. "Kill me? Who gave you permission to kill me? Do you even have the strength to do so?"

Chapter Seventy-Three Night Demon

"Brother, if we kill him, we can go straight to the Academy of Advancement. There's no need to stay here in fear."

The knife had already fallen in front of Lin Yaoxie when the little monster suddenly rushed out and started biting at the five people. Lin Yaoxie gathered his spiritual power and kicked one of them.

Unable to move, the remaining four had no choice but to take things seriously. One person restrained the little monster, while two others stood in front and behind. Just as Lin Yaoxie was about to make his move, more people arrived.

"With so many people, I can go straight to the hospital this time," the sudden appearance of the person made the four of them stumble back. "Night Demon, what are you doing here? Hurry up and leave."

“Now that you’ve recognized me, don’t even think about leaving. No one who has seen me has ever survived,” a black cloak flew out, covering the four people.

A figure rushed forward, lifted the cloak, and found only four corpses. "Such speed, mental power is actually speed," Lin Yaoxie was also somewhat surprised.

The man disappeared into the darkness. "Are you going to handle this yourself, or should I help you?" Lin Yaoxie gathered his spiritual power and flew up to a tree. "If you're capable, we can give it a try." He was ready to fight immediately. The power of a quasi-saint level expert was not to be underestimated. Lin Yaoxie had learned many secret techniques, and although the Night Demon was powerful, it wouldn't be so easy for him to gain the upper hand.

"Boy, your realm is not just Quasi-Saint, you possess immense power. I will take your power," Night Demon's power intensified. Lin Yaoxie was no match for Night Demon and was still struggling to hold on.

Lin Yaoxie finally collapsed to the ground, and Ye Mo was also injured. "A Quasi-Saint actually managed to injure me, a Quasi-Emperor, I underestimated you," Lin Yaoxie said, enduring the excruciating pain in his body.

"How about we form an alliance? When you killed four people just now, you didn't involve me, which proves that you are a person who hates evil. We can turn hostility into friendship."

"If you want to win me over, you'll need to have the strength to do so," Night Demon won't submit so easily.

"Of course I know. If the place I just visited is a secret realm, if you have the guts, let's go take a look together," Lin Yaoxie extended an olive branch.

Night Demon hesitated. "You really saw the secret realm. If you're lying to me, you know the consequences."

"To show my sincerity, you can choose first in the secret realm. Take the best one, and then we can go into the courtyard and fight there. What do you say?"

0oo is asking for flowers.....

"Lin Yaoxie, who exactly are you? Why haven't we heard of you before?"

“I am just an ordinary person, Night Demon. I know you very well. You have had a hard life since childhood. When you were working in the dark, you accidentally caused a ship full of cargo to sink into the sea. Afterwards, you were forced to repay your debts, which drove your parents to their deaths. From then on, you fell into the demonic path.”

"Knowing a lot doesn't matter. That's just how the world is. If you're not strong, someone will force you to become strong. Who knows that I deliberately sank that ship of cargo to the bottom of the sea because it was all harmful stuff?"

“I wanted to save people, but everyone was blaming me, scorning me, and hating me. Why should I save such people? They drove my parents to their deaths. I want them to pay the price. The world is heartless. Only the darkness of night can make them feel the threat of death.”

Having spoken the Night Demon's thoughts, Lin Yaoxie had already succeeded halfway. "Revenge isn't limited to this one method; there are better options, making them pay the price."

Chapter Seventy-Four: Awakening Memories

“I have avenged myself, and I have killed those who deserved to die. Now I live like a corpse, without any will, drifting with the wind,” Night Demon said, uttering words he should not have said.

Lin Yaoxie looked at Ye Mo and said, "Fight for me, fight for your own conscience. This world is unfair, so we will change it. All the humiliations I, Lin Yaoxie, have suffered in the past, I will make them pay for their blood debts."

Suddenly, Night Demon took to the air and gave Lin Yaoxie a golden object. "This is my spiritual power. Infuse it with strength, and I will dare to fight you no matter where you are. But I do not belong here; I belong to the darkness."

Lin Yaoxie successfully subdued a powerful general. Watching the Night Demon's departing figure, Lin Yaoxie began to seriously consider the path he should take. Suddenly, many unpleasant memories flooded his mind.

"Lin Yaoxie, you're just a piece of trash. Without the protection of the Fifth Academy Master, you're nothing but a cripple. Don't you like Xue Rou? She's my woman now, understand? To make you give up completely, Xue Rou is here too."

The young man clutched his chest tightly, raising his head with a face full of resentment. "Lin Yaoxie, you wanted to see me? Here I am. You think I really like you? Dream on! You're just trash. If it weren't for the Fifth Academy Master, I wouldn't even bother with you."

The woman in the white dress mocked the young man on the ground without restraint, "Why did you hurt me? Why did you kill the Fifth Master?"

"The Fifth Academy Master is arrogant and aloof, which has long made many people dissatisfied. With the Headmaster absent, now is the best time for him to disappear. But this is also thanks to you. Without you, how could I have deceived his trust and delivered a fatal blow?"
