Chapter 18: Demon‑Slaying Marshal

"Qian Han, although this Giant God Palace is a high‑level dungeon, you aren't that scared, are you?"

The Giant God Palace is the only large dungeon in N City.

There once existed a Demon God!

Demon Gods, like human generals, are divided into Demon Gods and title Demon Gods.

The Demon God of this Giant God Palace is a title Demon God.

It stands a hundred meters tall, wields a hundred‑meter great axe, and a single swing creates a ten‑mile trench!

Because of its massive size, the upper echelons of B City designated that Demon God's title as Giant God.

But that was in the past.

Over a hundred years ago, that Giant God Demon God was slain by the Great Summer title General, General Po Jun!

Now only a few demons, monsters, and ghosts remain inside.

"Scared!

Of course scared."

"You have to know, the higher the dungeon's level, the stronger the demons, monsters, and ghosts inside."

"\"In a high‑level dungeon, even the lowest‑grade demons are intermediate Martial Artists; how are we supposed to fight that? \""

"\"Previously the Genius Class trained in intermediate dungeons; why switch to a high‑level dungeon this time? \""

Qian Han's face turned grim.

Xu Wei caught on.

The demons in the Giant God Palace start out as intermediate Martial Artists.

An intermediate Martial Artist's fist strength is ten thousand jin!

Most Genius Class members have fist strength of only five thousand jin.

The opponent's strength is double, crushing!

How to fight? No way!

"\"Huang... Teacher Huang, are you mistaken? If we go to the Giant God Palace, the demons start with ten‑thousand‑jin fist strength; one punch could kill us. What's the point of this training? \""

"Right!"

Unless we learn body‑movement Martial Skills and reach the entry level of those skills, facing intermediate Martial Artists is certainly a dead end.

"Exactly, this isn't training at all; it's a suicide mission."

Many geniuses couldn't help but speak up.

"Quiet."

Huangpu pressed his hand down, yet someone kept speaking.

"I have no idea what the school is thinking; training in a high‑level dungeon, at most ten out of our fifty‑plus can survive there."

"Survival is all we get; probably only Jiang Nian can actually train in a high‑level dungeon."

"Jiang Nian is strong; with caution, a high‑level dungeon is indeed suitable for training."

The classroom was as noisy as a market; Huangpu lightly hammered the blackboard with his left hand.

Boom!

A huge hole was punched in the blackboard, through which the bewildered faces of the neighboring class could be seen.

In an instant.

The classroom fell silent.

"First, I'm not your teacher; if you must address me, call me Instructor Huang."

"Second, this Genius Class isn't just your school; your principal alone doesn't qualify the Giant God Army to train you."

"Finally, I dislike idle talk; anyone wanting to join the Genius Class line up at the school gate immediately."

"If you don't want to go, you may stay behind."

After speaking, Huangpu didn't even glance at the students and left directly.

As soon as he left,

Jiang Nian followed right out of the classroom.

"What should we do?"

Qian Han asked.

"Are we going?"

"Going, why not? The school can't really send us to our deaths, can it?"

Xu Wei smiled.

He used Explosive Step to enter the entry level; even if the school truly sent them to die, he wasn't afraid.

Hearing him, many classmates thought it reasonable and followed Xu Wei out of the classroom.

They arrived at the school gate.

A green military vehicle was parked on the road.

"Get in."

Huangpu said only one sentence, then took the co‑driver seat of the military vehicle.

Everyone boarded in turn.

The green vehicle only had seats on both sides; because there were so many, many had to stand.

And even standing, they were packed to the brink of death.

Xu Wei, quick‑witted, saw there was only one vehicle and immediately grabbed the outermost seat.

The ride was bumpy all the way.

Four hours later.

The military vehicle drove into a garrison.

"Is this near the Giant God Palace? Why are so many troops stationed here?"

He jumped out of the vehicle, looked at row after row of buildings and the patrol squads that passed from time to time, and Xu Wei was very surprised.

He had only heard of the Giant God Palace, never actually visited it.

He didn't expect so many forces to be stationed here.

From the open area, looking at the rows of six‑story buildings, there were at least several thousand troops stationed!

One must know that without a Demon God, the palace's Demons and Monsters cannot emerge.

Because the Demon God is the source of their power!
