Balmond read the edited version of his body strengthening technique. Jiu Shen wrote this in just over twenty minutes! It was truly absurd that he almost thought that it was a dream. A top-level body strengthening technique was made just like that!
Balmond stared at the enigmatic Jiu Shen who was seated leisurely on his chair. He was drinking a bottle of wine like a roadside alcoholic. ‘He must be someone from the higher realm! And even in that place, his strength shouldn’t be ordinary, right?’
After gathering his thoughts, Balmond turned his attention back to his new body strengthening technique. He named it Mythical King’s Body Enhancing Compendium.
When Balmond read the first few lines of this new technique, he could already sense his cells screaming in excitement!
This was the first time Balmond felt this kind of thirst for power.
“To think that Wine Master Jiu Shen just used twenty minutes to write this godly piece.” Balmond sighed in admiration. Now, he wholeheartedly accepted Jiu Shen as his superior.
“You two must familiarize yourself with your new techniques. With your comprehension, it should take you one year to get used to it. I won’t allow you guys to step out of this Spirit World if you fail to live up to my expectations. Don’t disappoint me…” Jiu Shen stood up and opened a space door.
He then glanced at the two with a calm look before he left.
Balmond and Yue Bo stared at each other in silence.
“What kind of supreme being did we follow?” Yue Bo muttered with a blank look on his face.
Balmond shook his head and replied in a worshipping tone. “He is someone who is destined to be known by the entire universe! I just hope that I would still be alive to witness his glory when that time comes!”
Yue Bo nodded in agreement. He then turned around and sat down cross-legged. “Brother Balmond, I will take this place as my cultivation ground. You should begin as well. Wine Master Jiu Shen might scold us if we slack off…”
Hearing that, Balmond immediately nodded his head. It was truly shameful to be scolded at his age, so he didn’t dare remain idle anymore.

Everyone stared at Jiu Shen who suddenly arrived through a spatial door.
When Jiu Shen noticed the odd looks, he remained calm. From the looks of things, Elyk must have succeeded in killing Amon.
After seeing Jiu Shen’s arrival, Theia immediately flew towards him and reported what had transpired. She didn’t forget to say the mocking words of Amon before he died. She also intentionally increased the volume of her voice, just enough for everyone to hear.
‘Theia is smart. With this, I can scare these little ants a bit.’ Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart.
Suddenly, everyone saw Jiu Shen’s face darkening. He then burst into laughter, but when the listeners heard this, they felt their hearts trembling in fear.
Hahaha!
When he stopped laughing, Jiu Shen stared coldly at everyone, his piercing gaze almost made them die from shock. However, a few dozen people couldn’t handle the pressure and suddenly fell unconscious.
Seeing this, no one dared to help them. Heck! They couldn’t even move a muscle, so how could they have the energy to help others?
After scaring the poor spectators, Jiu Shen disappeared.
“He’s finally gone… I almost pissed myself. Dammit!”
“So scary! I would never mock the humans again!”
Many people collapsed on the ground as they panted. The sheer pressure from Jiu Shen’s gaze almost suffocated them. Luckily, he left right away or some of them might be dead by now.
Cornelia sat weakly on the ground. However, there was a strange look of ecstasy on her face as she recalled Jiu Shen’s domineering aura.
“So handsome~” She muttered in a feeble, yet seductive voice.
Theia watched the scared expressions of everyone around her. She then smirked coldly in disdain.
“Blue, tell everyone to take a one-hour break. The tournament will continue after an hour.” Theia said to Blue who was standing behind her respectfully.
“Yes, Sister Theia.” Blue nodded her head before she swiftly went to the arena to announce this.

One day ago, in the Divine Beast Continent.
Hanzo finally arrived with a group of Demon Ancestors behind him. Among them was Demon Ancestor Jun who could be considered as a peak expert in their circle.
They were the elites sent by Emperor Balmond to search for the ingredients of the Soul Stabilizing Array Formation.
“Lord Hanzo, I didn’t know that the Bloodfallen Family actually has a secret teleportation array formation connected to the Divine Beast Continent. The imperial family’s strength is truly astounding!” A late stage Demon Ancestor said with a hint of admiration on his face.
Hearing this, Hanzo smiled. “Of course! The Bloodfallen Family has more than a hundred thousand years of history. It isn’t a surprise that they have hidden something like this…”
“Hanzo, can you tell us what the ingredients are for?” Demon Ancestor Jun asked curiously. He had seen the list of ingredients, but he didn’t know what it was for.
Everyone stared at Hanzo and waited for him to answer. They were also dying to know what those ingredients are for.
Hanzo’s face turned cold all of a sudden. He then recalled the man locked up in the secret dungeon. The Demon Emperor strictly forbade him from telling anyone about Prince Artaurus. “This matter is of high importance and His Majesty forbade me from disclosing any information about it. On account of our relationship, I won’t tell His Majesty that you tried to learn about this secret information.”
Demon Ancestor Jun and the others tensed up upon hearing this. It looks like things weren’t simple, but no one dared to ask questions anymore. They didn’t want to know too much sensitive information or the Demon Emperor might silence them!
“Enough chitchat! Let’s search separately. We can communicate through the communication crystals. Just report when you encounter any of the ingredients or if you are in danger.. Alright! Let’s go!” Hanzo shot through the skies and the others immediately left into other directions.
