After a few days, Chen Ang's body recovered almost completely. Although there were twists and turns, his own strength was greatly improved. The Dean's drop of origin essence blood was constantly improving his body strength, and his power was becoming more and more powerful, which was a very good thing.

Xing Tian called Chen Ang over and exhorted: "You should know about the inner demon matter a few days ago, right? As a genius, it's acceptable to have pride, but remember to know how to weigh the pros and cons."

"Chen Ang, you are my precious disciple. I don't want too many accidents to happen. From today on, learn to control your emotions and don't give the inner demon another opportunity. Do you hear me?"

"Hehe, don't worry, Master. I won't say anything else, but if I can't even control my own temper, how will I face difficulties and troubles in the future?"

"Good, this is what my disciple should look like. Next, no matter what Master does, you must persist."

After speaking, he took out his weapon and stabbed Chen Ang's right leg with a spear, saying: "How is it? Are you angry now?"

Chen Ang gritted his teeth and said: "No!"

After being attacked by several consecutive spear thrusts, one could clearly see the change in negative emotions in Chen Ang's body. He exhorted: "Brat, you say no with your mouth, but look at your emotional fluctuations. Do you believe that if Master attacks a few more times, the hostility in your body will increase more and more?"

"Remember the feeling of anger just now. Go back and think carefully about what is going on. If there is really a situation of demonic deviation, I will personally cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. It concerns the face of the Wuqu Academy and cannot tolerate any mistakes. Do you hear me?"

Only then did he react. The situation just now was indeed a bit wrong, so he quickly said: "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely go back and find a way to suppress and eliminate it. It won't affect the safety of the Wuqu Academy."

After returning, he carefully recalled everything that happened just now, but found that his control over his emotions was getting worse and worse, and sometimes he would even be swayed by his emotions. Could it be the influence brought by the inner demon?

It shouldn't be. Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't occur. It is really becoming more and more unacceptable. He must find a way to calm down.

Just at this moment, Wan Shitong's voice came from outside. Seeing that his boss had recovered, he said: "Boss, you are finally well. I don't know how worried I was. A few days ago, I really felt that you might leave."

Chen Ang asked: "Wan Shitong, is there any way to control one's own emotions? I feel like I'm losing control more and more. If this continues, I will really go into demonic deviation."

"Boss, I really can't help you. Some things have to be solved by yourself. Perhaps it was the psychological shadow left when you fought Master Xing Tian last time that made you like this. I believe it will definitely improve after a period of time. Don't worry."

"If you want to become a powerhouse, these are things you must face. It's useless to keep struggling bitterly; instead, it will bind your heart, which is completely not worth it."

"Wan Shitong, thank you for your enlightenment. I feel much better. It's fine to face it with a normal mentality. I will calm my mentality next."

The two came to the outskirts of the Wuqu Academy. While walking, they saw the situation of demon beasts attacking humans. They were all low-tier demon beasts, which they solved easily.

Last time, the demon beast forest invaded on a large scale and left after getting the divine beast egg. There hadn't been any large-scale attacks, but this kind of small-scale harassment was unavoidable. The law of the jungle must sometimes be followed.

Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a huge aura. Wan Shitong took his weapon and exhorted: "Boss, I can feel that it's a demon beast aura, very terrifying. There is someone being chased and killed in front. Shall we take action to save him?"

"Nonsense, they are all humans. I won't feel at ease if I don't save him. Take action quickly."

After speaking, the two gathered their strength and began to attack the high-tier Demon King beast. It was quite thick-skinned. It took a lot of effort to solve it.

Looking at the seriously injured man in front of him, Wan Shitong said: "What should we do? He is seriously injured. Let's take him back to the Wuqu Academy. It's quite dangerous to leave him here. We don't have many healing pills on us, not enough to treat him."

They took the man back to the Wuqu Academy. After treatment by a specialized teacher, the man woke up and asked: "How is it? Is it convenient to move now?"

The man said seriously: "I've recovered almost enough. I, Feng Xiu, thank the two for saving my life. It just so happens that there is a matter I want to discuss. I am a human born and raised in the Demon Beast Forest."

"Relying on the natural treasures in the Demon Beast Forest to practice, I just happened to find a few Tianyuan Sacred Fruits, which can enhance the absorption speed of spiritual energy. It's a pity that these Tianyuan Sacred Fruits are guarded by demon beasts."

"Just as I was about to leave, I was discovered by the demon beasts. Relying on my peak Tier 9 cultivation, if it weren't for the help of the two, I would definitely have died without a burial place. This time, I want to take the two to see if we can take down the Tianyuan Sacred Fruit."

Chen Ang asked suspiciously: "What is the strength of the nearby guardian demon beasts? If the three of us take action at the same time, is there any hope of winning?"

Feng Xiu explained seriously: "There are two guardian demon beasts, and their strength is at the peak of the Demon King. It is indeed a bit troublesome to really fight, but I still want to try. Maybe?"

"How about this? After getting the items, I only want one of them to practice and break through to the Spirit Realm, and all the rest will be handed over. I will never hide them privately. Are you interested in trying?"

Chen Ang thought for a while and said: "Rest first. We will consider it and tell the Wuqu Academy teachers about the situation to see if we can get support from the teachers."

After leaving the room, Wan Shitong said: "Boss, I think we can try. Tianyuan Sacred Fruit is such a good treasure, which has huge benefits for spiritual energy cultivation. We must get it."

"The relationship between the Demon Beast Forest and the Wuqu Academy is particularly tense, leading to increasing difficulty in obtaining natural treasures. This time is a very good opportunity; we must not miss it."

Chen Ang said seriously: "This matter must be considered carefully. Don't worsen the contradiction between the two major forces. From Feng Xiu's explanation, this matter is likely true."

"Our cultivation speed is actually not bad. If we can get the help of the Tianyuan Sacred Fruit, it will be a great improvement to our own strength. Risk and benefit coexist. We can try; maybe we can turn a misfortune into a blessing."

"Hehe, I think so too. Let's tell Master Xing Tian. If we can get Master's support, even if something really goes wrong, there will be someone to help cover our retreat."

462: Feng Xiu's Decision

Hearing the news, Xing Tian couldn't help but say: "Are you really sure about doing this? Brat, think carefully. There are two peak Demon King guardians next to the Tianyuan Sacred Fruit. As for whether there are higher levels, it's not certain. There are too many dangers."

"Don't worry, Master. I believe it's a very good opportunity. This isn't telling you in advance? If a demon beast above the Demon King appears, just help block it. No need to kill it."

"Alright, go ahead. With Master here, there absolutely won't be any mistakes. This is the jade pendant, old rule. Crush it and I will arrive immediately. Those guys in the Demon Beast Forest won't dare to act rashly."

According to Feng Xiu's guidance, they came to the side of the Tianyuan Sacred Fruit and saw two peak Demon King level demon beasts. He exhorted: "Wan Shitong, let's each delay one demon beast and give Feng Xiu enough time to pick the Tianyuan Sacred Fruit."

"Remember, the action must be fast. Don't be sloppy. It's the only opportunity. If you miss it, it's very likely you will be surrounded. Put your heart into it and don't be afraid."

Feng Xiu said seriously: "Is there really no problem? My cultivation is at the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm, but if we really fight, it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with the peak Demon King."

Wan Shitong said indifferently: "My strength is not bad, and I can barely deal with it for a period of time. If it's too long, there will definitely be life danger."

The two peak Demon Kings rushed over. Chen Ang and Wan Shitong released their auras to delay them. It was Chen Ang's first time fighting a peak Demon King alone.

The aura on its body was obviously much more terrifying than the Demon King level. He was defeated after a few moves. The gap between the realms was too large, and he felt a bit unacceptable in his heart.

He was particularly unwilling. He used the Ice God Spear Technique to continuously consume the physical strength of the peak Demon King. After twists and turns, Feng Xiu arrived at the position of the Tianyuan Sacred Fruit.

Just after picking two, it attracted the attention of the peak Demon King. Chen Ang and the other spent a lot of effort to barely hold them back. He put the last Tianyuan Sacred Fruit into his clothes.

Wan Shitong took out the treasure prepared in advance to temporarily control the two peak Demon Kings. Just as they were about to leave, they felt a terrifying aura.

"The Tianyuan Sacred Fruit is not something humans can possess. Put down the Sacred Fruit obediently and leave, otherwise don't blame this Demon Saint for taking action. I guarantee you will lose your life and die without a burial place."

The Demon Saint's cultivation was too high. Helpless, Chen Ang summoned Xing Tian over. Xing Tian looked at the Demon Saint in front of him and couldn't help but say: "Tianyan Demon Saint, long time no see. Resources should be obtained by young people. Why bother with the juniors?"

"It's you, Xing Tian. I'd like to see if you have that strength. Is this your personal opinion, or the opinion of the Wuqu Academy? It's hard to solve if you don't make it clear."

Tianyan Demon Saint said seriously: "This matter concerns whether I can break through to a higher realm, so I definitely can't let it go. Hand it over obediently, and I can let you leave."

Xing Tian didn't show weakness either and erupted with the same aura, which made Tianyan Demon Saint hard to accept and also added a lot of wariness. There was no chance of winning in a battle of the same level, let alone his own cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Demon Saint. Facing the peak of the Emperor Realm, he couldn't fight at all.

"Peak of the Emperor Realm, it is indeed a bit hard to imagine. There are indeed few who can reach this realm at this age, but today, if I want to capture these few people, no one can stop me."

Both sides fell into a dire situation. Neither was willing to take action, and both understood that if they took action, they would definitely be doomed.

After a stalemate for a period of time, Tianyan Demon Saint said helplessly: "Leave three Tianyan Sacred Fruits for this seat to break through to the high-stage of the Demon Saint, and I will let bygones be bygones. This is my bottom line; it can't be lower."

"No way. The Tianyuan Sacred Fruit is in my disciple's hands. If you want me to take it out again, it is absolutely impossible. I know you are powerful, but at worst, we will risk our lives."

"Is it really worth doing this? Do you believe that with one word, these few brats will be on the blacklist of the Demon Beast Forest? The next time you enter the Demon Beast Forest, what awaits you is a dead end."

"Everyone can talk tough. There is definitely no problem with taking action among the same tier, but if the older generation relies on living a few more years and having a higher realm to bully my disciple, it is absolutely impossible."

Tianyan Demon Saint had a headache. He really couldn't beat Xing Tian, but on second thought, he should save his life first.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I have something to do, I would definitely argue with you. Don't let me see these few brats next time, otherwise, I will definitely kill them!"

After speaking, he left in a sorry state. Xing Tian said: "Fortunately, I greeted him in advance. No wonder it had a peak Demon King guardian. Brat, don't cause such big trouble next time."

Feng Xiu saw Xing Tian's strength and had also seen the cultivation environment of the Wuqu Academy, so he quickly said: "Are you from the Wuqu Academy? I want to join the Wuqu Academy. Can you give me an opportunity? I will definitely cherish it."

Xing Tian saw that Feng Xiu's strength was quite good, bold and careful, so there shouldn't be any problems. He said: "Your strength, cultivation, and talent are not bad. Don't worry. Being able to live in the Demon Beast Forest for such a long time, you definitely have unique advantages."

"Remember, the Wuqu Academy is a big family. You cannot do anything treacherous. I will give you an opportunity for a test. As for whether you can pass, it depends on your ability."

After the few returned to the Wuqu Academy, they began to absorb the Tianyuan Sacred Fruit. Chen Ang clearly found that the spiritual energy cultivation speed was much stronger than before. Such a sacred fruit is terrifying.

He felt that he would be able to break through to the high-stage of the Spirit Realm after a period of time. By then, he would have stronger power, and even if he faced a peak Demon King, he would have the strength to fight.

This time, fighting alone against a peak Demon King, using a god-level technique like the Ice God Spear Technique, was still a bit hard to resist. The gap was indeed too large, which made Chen Ang feel particularly unbalanced in his heart.

After the closed-door practice ended, Xing Tian said: "How is it? Brat, this Tianyuan Sacred Fruit is quite powerful, right? You and Wan Shitong each have one, and you gave one to Feng Xiu. Do you have any arrangements for the rest?"

Chen Ang saw through Master Xing Tian's little thoughts and quickly said: "Master, this thing is useless to me. Just take it. I believe these Tianyuan Sacred Fruits can help more junior brothers and sisters break through and let the Wuqu Academy create more geniuses."

"Haha, I am very happy to have this idea. Students of the Wuqu Academy must have this spirit of selfless dedication. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"If there are any cultivation resources you want, tell me, and I will try my best to fight for them. I still have this bit of authority."

Chen Ang knew clearly that he had to be polite at this time. His Master was cunning, so he just exchanged pleasantries. If he really lacked resources, it was a matter of one sentence; there was no need to be so troublesome.

What's more, the Tianyuan Sacred Fruit is extremely special. One person can take at most one; excessive use will have side effects, which is completely not worth it. Just treat it as a favor.

463: Space Channel

The Demon Dragon Pavilion is brewing a huge conspiracy. Some time ago, they discovered a space channel. If they open the space channel, the connection between the entire Perished World and the Demon World can directly pass through the Sin Prison. By then, they can obtain victory.

But just at this critical moment, an accident occurred. The disciple responsible for the space channel was caught by the Wuqu Academy, which made the Pavilion Master particularly angry. He must find a way to kill him to silence him.

At a critical moment, any movement might affect the entire war situation. The Pavilion Master exhorted the Great Elder: "Great Elder, this matter concerns whether we can directly pass through to the Perished World. You should know the result, right?"

"If necessary, we can sacrifice the lives of some people to obtain victory. We must not let the disciple say what he knows, otherwise, something big will happen."

"It was hard to bypass the Sin Prison to enter the Perished World. If we miss it, it will be very troublesome to explain to Lord Demon Master. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The Great Elder said with a smile: "Don't worry, Pavilion Master. I know it in my heart. This time, I will definitely kill that disciple, and I will find a way to protect that space channel."

"Good, that's how it should be. I will tell the Demon Master and try to get more powerhouses to help with the action. The current situation is particularly complex. At critical moments, we must know how to sacrifice to complete the task."

"Don't worry, Pavilion Master. My family was killed by the Wuqu Academy. It's useless for me to live. If it really comes to a critical moment, at worst, we will perish together. I will definitely not leak the news."

After getting the Demon Master's affirmation, after a while, two mysterious powerhouses descended from the sky and appeared in front of the Demon Dragon Pavilion Pavilion Master.

One of the powerhouses said: "We were sent by the Demon Master. This space channel concerns the entire Demon race's strategic plan for the next step. There must not be any problems."

"This time, with the Demon Master's treasure, it is enough for us to go to the Perished World. Great Elder, you go and kill that disciple, and we two brothers will delay the people of the Wuqu Academy. Remember, this time we must not fail. There is only this one opportunity."

On the other side, Chen Ang was still practicing in the secret room when he was called over by Master Xing Tian. Here, he saw many powerhouses, at least above the Emperor Realm, even more terrifying than his Master. Since when did the Wuqu Academy have so many powerhouses? He didn't even know.
