Bang!

The door burst open.

The first ray of morning sunlight spilled into the courtyard.

Zhou Chao's face was filled with excitement, his aged features looking a few years younger.

At this moment, a Qi of Blood was swirling behind him, and within it sat a…

Frog?

But without a doubt, this was a Spirit Connection Realm Blood Spirit!

Possessing a Blood Spirit truly marked a clear distinction from the Tuotai Realm, and in the secular world, one could be considered a Master.

Zhou You's eyes openly showed envy; a Blood Spirit, this was a Blood Spirit!

The Blood Spirit he had dreamed of!

His fists gradually tightened. He would have it, he definitely would.

He would have the Realm, and he would have the Blood Spirit!

“Hahahahaha!”

Zhou Chao burst into hearty laughter, “Little brother, I never thought that one Medicinal Pill from you would solve decades of problems for your elder brother.”

One…

Zhou You’s smile looked a bit strained. That wretched thing, he had eaten at least a thousand of them, to the point where he felt like throwing up just smelling them now.

Why was the difference between people so vast?

Zhou Chao rushed over and gave Zhou You a heavy hug, “Little brother, you truly are the lucky star of our Zhou Family. When you left back then, we went from poverty to wealth. Now that you’ve returned, you’ve made our Zhou Family go from weak to strong!”

Zhou You cried, tears streaming down his face.

It was just so frustrating.

At this moment, he once again realized just how good his Master Niu Dali truly was to him.

He was already useless to this extent, yet his Master was unwilling to give up on him.

Where could one find such a soft touch…

Oh no, such a good person?

Zhou Chao released Zhou You, his eyes turning red. He looked at his little brother, who was actually crying with excitement because of his Breakthrough. Truly, they were blood brothers.

Even after a hundred years apart, this brotherly affection remained!

“Congratulations, Grandpa.”

Zhou Chen happily ran over.

“Haha, girl, you’ll have this opportunity in the future too.”

Zhou Chao was in a very good mood, feeling that life was full of hope everywhere. Then his gaze fell upon Lu Renjia, and he was taken aback, “This is?”

Zhou Chen then briefly and concisely explained the matter of the wolf menace.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao immediately frowned and withdrew his Blood Spirit. “Five? So many? Three months ago, I heard that the Yao Beast calamity was only in the Eighteenth Ring. How did it reach the Sixteenth Ring so quickly?”

Zhou You, however, was puzzled, “What’s the Eighteenth Ring?”

Zhou Chen quickly explained to Zhou You, “The Imperial City at the center of the Hua Xia Dynasty is the Inner Ring. Different cities are built in a circle around it, and subsequently, there are the Second Ring, Third Ring, Fourth Ring, and so on.”

Zhou You understood. If that was the case, then Zhenyu Pass would be beyond the Thirtieth Ring?

Zhou Chao sighed, “That’s also why many people have wanted to live in the central area these past few years.”

Zhou You also understood.

In such a Yao Beast calamity, the people in the outer rings would surely die first. If it truly reached the Inner Ring, it would mean extinction.

However, fortunately, the closer to the center, the more powerful individuals there were.

They had abundant resources, high status, and powerful strength.

The outer rings couldn’t compare to them.

The severely injured Lu Renjia felt even more indignant in his heart. Was this second-generation rich kid an idiot?

He didn’t even understand the city’s layout?

It was truly a pity for Zhou Guniang, such an extraordinary woman, to have to serve such a useless person.

He wanted to say something, but he felt a wave of weakness throughout his body, and with a tilt of his head, he fainted directly to the ground.

The three of them glanced over there, then shifted their gaze.

Zhou Chao asked, “Little brother, what are your thoughts on this? Did your Master give you any instructions?”

How could Zhou You have any concept of this in his heart?

He had spent a hundred years on the mountain, doing nothing. “My Master just told me to go home.”

Zhou You was too embarrassed to say that he had shouted about severing their Master-disciple relationship, and then his Master had really sent him down the mountain.

“Just told you to go home?”

Zhou Chao frowned, thinking very carefully.

Zhou You nodded, not explaining further.

“I understand.”

Zhou Chao clapped his hands, “Your Master must have already known about the Yao Beast calamity, which is why he sent you down the mountain. He wants you to resolve the Yao Beast calamity.”

Zhou You was stunned. Was there even this kind of explanation?

It sounded quite reasonable.

But when did Master know?

He had always been on the mountain, and Master had never left it by half a step, except for occasional visitors. Niu Dali never left Zhenyu Pass!

However…

Zhou You’s thoughts shifted, and he felt that this explanation could also very well account for why he had suddenly returned.

Zhou You smiled, “That’s pretty much the meaning.”

Zhou Chao sighed, “I vaguely remember, back then your Master descended from the sky and touched your whole body…”

Zhou You’s face darkened, “Big brother, don’t be ambiguous when you speak.”

Zhou Chao laughed heartily, “Alright, he just examined your body, then took you away, stepping on air. What a demeanor that was! Truly, a True Immortal descended. I suppose little brother, your current cultivation is merely intentionally kept at the Fan Blood Realm, acting low-key, right?”

Even secular people knew that some powerful individuals possessed means of concealing their Qi, allowing them to display the cultivation of a weaker Realm.

Zhou You responded vaguely, “More or less, more or less.”

Zhou Chen made a face, “Grandpa, don’t try to probe Second Uncle’s cultivation anymore. He killed five Blood Shadow Wolves without even using his Blood Spirit. And I suspect one of those Blood Shadow Wolves must have been a Fourth Rank Yao Beast.”

Zhou Chao was even more shocked, “Little brother is truly unfathomable.”

Zhou You forced a smile. Was it that he didn’t use it? It was that he didn’t have it.

However, the general meaning was similar; in short, he didn’t need to use it.

Fearing they would continue to discuss these issues, Zhou You quickly changed the subject, “Big brother, your Blood Spirit?”

“Poison Dart Frog.”

Zhou Chao smiled, “It’s a Blood Spirit whose attacks carry poison. Its specific abilities still need to be slowly explored. Of course, if compared to you, it’s certainly far inferior.”

Zhou You still didn’t know much about Blood Spirits.

The stronger an individual’s Bloodline, the more powerful the Blood Spirit they awakened tended to be.

As for their rank, they were divided into Common, Fierce, Spirit Beast, Divine Beast, and Spirit Rank.

A Poison Dart Frog like this belonged to the ‘Fierce’ level.

And Common ones were like ordinary wolves, wild boars, monkeys, little sparrows, and so on.

However, regarding Bloodline, he himself wasn’t clear. If he dared to ask, it would be considered his Aptitude was dull, why think so much?

This led to him feeling…

A bit inferior about himself.

He even suspected if he would awaken something like a stray dog.

“The blow from that old geezer won’t disappear anytime soon.”

Zhou You gnashed his teeth, his expression complex.

Zhou Chao was puzzled, “Little brother, what’s wrong?”

Zhou You forced a smile, “I was just thinking about when to go and drive out the Yao Beasts, and restore peace to the world.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao’s expression brightened with joy, “As long as you are willing to act, you can surely ensure peace in this region!”

Zhou You felt bitter and helpless, truly wanting to slap him.

Who gave you such confidence?
