That aura was from the Sea of Demons. Although they were underwater demonic beasts, they lacked the aura of a demon beast, carrying endless demonic energy.
They appeared, and among the demons here, the worst were at the early Immortal King stage, with a few powerful ones already at the half-step Realm King level.
As soon as they appeared, their fierce aura surged toward them.
"Roar!"
A half-step Realm King level flood dragon let out a thunderous roar, as if issuing orders. After his roar, countless deep-sea demons charged madly toward the Seventh Branch.
Yet those demons from the Demon Domain did not clash with them, deliberately leaving a passage for the deep-sea demons to attack the academy together.
"Just as the dean said, the main hospital is just a cover; their target is the Seventh Branch." A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth.
The demons of the Sea of Demons attacked Tianlan Domain just for show; the main forces were all here.
However, this place is quite far from the Sea of Demons. These demons, far from the Sea of Demons, have greatly reduced combat power. Is this a tactic of adding fuel or just giving it away?
The demon crystals and demon cores of the deep-sea demon are treasures, especially the demon cores, which are extremely valuable. Is this because they're not strong enough and are deliberately giving him money?
As soon as these beasts appeared, Bai Shishi charged forward, slashing down with her sword. Golden light pierced through the sky, severing countless paths. The roaring flood dragon was sliced in two by his sword.
Even a half-step Realm King level deep-sea demon couldn't withstand the Golden Sword's slash. Although the Golden Sword had previously recognized Bai Shishi as its master, Bai Shishi simply couldn't unleash its true power.
But after receiving the inheritance from the original owner of the golden sword, Bai Shishi finally understood how to activate the runes on the golden sword. The flood dragon's scales were densely covered with runes, with defense comparable to a royal weapon, yet it still couldn't withstand a single cut by the golden sword.
The golden sword was unmatched in sharpness, radiating sword light across the sky. The deep-sea demon, as towering as a mountain, was as fragile as a radish or cabbage before it.
Bai Shishi merged his sword and sword, frantically slaying those deep-sea demons, gradually reaching the outer areas.
"Don't go too far. They have strong fighters watching from the outside. Your position is the limit—you can't go any further."
However, there's no need to rush back. Kill slowly, retreat bit by bit, and don't let them notice any weakness. "Bai Shishi was in the heat of killing when suddenly Long Chen's voice sounded in her ear.
Bai Shishi was slightly startled. Up until now, she hadn't sensed any sense of spying, but she trusted Long Chen completely. She stood there for a while, then pretended to be ambushed by a half-step Realm King-level demon, was knocked back, and began fighting fiercely around the formation.
Long Chen looked at Bai Shishi and smiled slightly. If this girl were a bit more well-behaved, she would actually be quite likable.
Bai Shishi saw Long Chen smiling at her and smiled back. But when she saw her mother staring at her, her eyes full of ambiguity, she couldn't help but blush. She quickly turned her head, ignoring Long Chen and the others, focusing on killing those demons.
Bai Shishi was the main force on the battlefield. Wherever there was a crisis, she would rush there to support. She fought fiercely for ten days and nights without showing any sign of fatigue. Clearly, in a battle of this level, she could be self-sufficient and didn't need rest.
Except for Bai Shishi, everyone else needed to return to the formation to rest and breathe. When their divine energy was depleted at half percent, they had to come back; otherwise, if they encountered danger, it would be troublesome.
Qin Feng and Qi Yu's energy veins were long-lasting. Within ten days, they rested three times in total, spending the rest of their time on the battlefield. They were the main forces controlling the overall rhythm of the battlefield, only letting Bai Shishi help when they couldn't keep it under control.
But to everyone's surprise, Xu Zixiong would return every two or three hours of fierce battles to rest. His combat power was astonishing—he could shatter the void with a single strike, but after a short while, he was exhausted and had to come back to rest.
"Boss, is something wrong with me? Stamina is too weak. Xu
Zixiong ran back panting, walked up to Long Chen, and plopped down on the ground, drenched in sweat, looking like he was about to collapse.
This time, he had only been killing for half an hour, barely attacking with full force, but was drenched in cold sweat and anxious.
Long Chen checked his body—his qi and blood were abundant, no issues at all. Logically, this shouldn't be the case, right? You have to know, Xu Zixiong didn't even use his Barbarian Blood Battle Body, so it wasn't that much of a cost.
Suddenly, Long Chen had a thought. With a large hand pull, he pulled back a massive octopus monster fish from the battlefield. Flames rose in his hand, and the octopus's body was enveloped in flames, instantly releasing a fragrant aroma.
The moment the aroma began to spread, Xu Zixiong was flustered, his mouth watering uncontrollably.
"You haven't eaten meat. Try having some meat."
After Long Chen finished speaking, Xu Zixiong hugged the octopus and started nibbling on it. Sure enough, after a few bites, Xu Zixiong immediately felt less weak, and Long Chen had grasped the key point.
After the awakening of the barbarian blood, Xu Zixiong could no longer follow his original cultivation path. Like Aman, he needed to replenish his flesh and blood. It wasn't that he was weak just now, but he was extremely hungry.
Xu Zixiong had always followed the human cultivation method, relying entirely on absorbing spiritual energy and basically not eating, so he had even forgotten what hunger felt like.
Now that I've eaten, I realize it's not that I lack strength, but that I'm just too hungry.
Long Chen took out a bronze furnace. It was a fire-type weapon, not an alchemy furnace, and he handed it to Xu Zixiong.
He told him to learn to cook on his own, put monster corpses into a copper furnace, cook them directly, and replenish his energy at any time.
After eating for a while, Xu Zixiong indeed felt full of strength. He took the bronze furnace Long Chen had given him and went to the battlefield to collect the powerful sea monster corpses, storing them to create his own granary.
With his stomach no longer hungry, Xu Zixiong seemed like a different person. He smashed his long staff fiercely, three consecutive strikes, shattering the shell of a half-step Realm King-level old turtle. His fierce demeanor reminded Long Chen of Aman.
Aman was a pure-blooded barbarian, with not a trace of immortal energy in his body. All his power depended on food, but his power was the most terrifying existence Long Chen had ever seen.
"I wonder how this silly brother is doing now." Long Chen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, afraid that this foolish brother would have a hard time and be deceived.
However, unlike Aman, Xu Zixiong didn't have Aman's terrifying digestive power. He couldn't eat the sea monsters one by one; he had to eat them bit by bit.
Time passed bit by bit, and the corpses outside the barrier piled up like mountains again, ready to flood the academy, because the deep sea demons were huge and took up too much space.
Long Chen cleaned the battlefield once more. The corpse entered the chaotic space, and Huo Ling'er transformed into millions of small knives to extract demon cores and demon crystals.
So, like small mountains, demon crystals and demon cores were scattered across the square. Long Chen looked into the distance, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"Let's see who loses their composure first."
