Chapter 363: Zhang Hao's Deduction

Hearing Du Qian's anxious tone, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel a bit amused and said,

"Zhang Yi's situation is actually quite safe."

Upon hearing this, Du Qian and the others all showed doubtful looks,

"Dean, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Yi is currently gripped in the hand of that huge stone statue, showing no movement at all; he's likely already on his last breath.

How could the Dean say that, Zhang Yi's safety is unconcerned?

After Zhang Hao voiced his earlier analysis, Du Qian and the others then showed expressions of sudden realization.

His Majesty ordered them to come support, and they, assuming the worst, thought that everyone in this sky fortress must be enemies.

Yet they failed to notice, amidst the Black Tide creations and those armored retinue,

There was also a figure wielding a golden spear.

Moreover, that Domain Stone Person and that figure cooperate seamlessly; every attack never harms the other!

This isn't an acquaintance; if word got out, nobody would believe it!

Zhang Hao left the crowd behind and slowly flew forward,

"This young friend, I come from Ben Lang Guo's Ben Lang Guo Academy; I am Dean Zhang Hao of the Ben Lang Guo Academy, and this trip is solely to aid His Majesty of our nation."

"Just now, due to a slight misunderstanding, I collided with your... uh, war beast; I hope you'll forgive me, young friend."

Zhang Hao's self-introduction was not meant to intimidate the other party.

Given how easily the other party subdued Zhang Yi, even if he invoked His Majesty, they might not be intimidated.

His actions were merely to convey to the other party that they harbored no ill intent.

Their main purpose is to support His Majesty, not to fight to the death here with this stranger.

Yet he didn't expect that, upon hearing their self-introduction, Gu Han below would show a surprised expression on his face.

Seeing the subtle change on Gu Han's face, Zhang Hao's heart stirred slightly.

It seems this young person is connected to their Ben Lang Guo!

Gu Han was crushing the Black Tide creations and the Mad King's retinue.

As for these people who appeared out of nowhere and inexplicably attacked the Domain Stone Person, Gu Han felt no fondness for them.

But he never expected that these people were actually from Ben Lang Guo as well?

Is this world really that small?

He could even run into a fellow countryman?

Gu Han immediately ordered the Domain Stone Person to loosen its grip and fling Zhang Yi away.

After being flung away, Zhang Yi only felt dizzy; he shook his head and discovered that Dean Zhang Hao had somehow arrived beside him.

"Dean, this Fellow is a tough nut; you must absolutely not be careless."

In Ben Lang Guo, whether they are imperial descendants, military officers, or civil officials, the vast majority have received instruction from Dean Zhang Hao at some point.

Thus, even someone as rough as Zhang Yi holds Dean Zhang Hao in great respect.

Yet what Zhang Yi didn't expect was that, upon hearing this, Dean Zhang Hao not only refrained from attacking the Domain Stone Person, but instead gave him a chestnut!

Zhang Yi felt a pain in his head, covering his head in disbelief as he looked at Zhang Hao,

"Dean, why did you hit me?"

Although he had received plenty of reprimands from the Dean during his time at the academy,

but he now ranks among the few high-powered individuals in all of Ben Lang Guo.

Being humiliated in front of everyone like this, how will he ever face people again when he returns?

Looking at Zhang Yi, who has poured all his talent into his muscles and whose years of study have yielded no intellectual progress whatsoever, Zhang Hao felt his anger flare up.

"Can't you use your brain? You were seized by that huge stone person—what did you think was breaking free of its control?"

Zhang Yi rubbed his head, looking quite perplexed, like a monk who can't figure things out,

"Wasn't it you, Dean, who saved me?"

Zhang Hao glared at Zhang Yi angrily,

"It's because the other party couldn't be bothered to argue with you that they let you go!"

Zhang Yi stared dumbfounded, seeing that Du Qian and the others didn't rebut Dean Zhang Hao's statement, and only then realized how utterly wrong his own idea was.

He immediately put away his Lance, intending to land and thank Gu Han, who was still fighting.

But upon seeing the huge Domain Stone Person still smashing those Black Tide creations with its massive fists, he couldn't help but shudder!

Even if he were in that position, he could not withstand the Domain Stone Person's attacks.

Zhang Yi could only stand aloft in the air, bowing to Gu Han below.

"Thank you for showing mercy, sir."

Gu Han replied without turning his head,

"Do whatever you want, just don't disturb me here."

Upon hearing that, Zhang Yi froze for a moment and then asked,

"With so many monsters, do you really not need our help, sir?"

Although this young person and the Domain Stone Person are formidable and can crush these monsters at will,

even a Martial Emperor cannot endlessly resist the erosion of the Black Tide's aura.

They probably aren't an exception either, right?

"Zhang Yi, say less."

Zhang Hao interrupted Zhang Yi's speech, speaking in a low voice,

This little friend, possessing such strength, is certainly not merely a rash person who only knows how to show off.

Anyone who is merely a brute who only knows how to rush blindly would not have survived to now.

Zhang Yi could only take back what he had just said, and followed Zhang Hao as they detoured around the Black Tide Monster, heading toward the interior of Sword Edge City.

Gu Han and the Domain-Suppressing Stone Person can only attract a limited number of monsters.

It is inevitable that scattered Black Tide Monsters would try to chase and kill Zhang Hao and the others, but they were all easily defeated by Zhang Hao and company.

In order to avoid being tainted by the Black Tide's aura, they all used martial techniques to defeat the Black Tide forces from a distance.

Not long after, they followed the sounds of battle within Sword Edge City and entered its interior.

From afar, they caught a glimpse of Xiao Wan Di and Bai Ce joining forces to face the God of War, and Zhang Hao and the others felt their hearts tighten.

"This six-armed monster can actually suppress Your Majesty?"

Zhang Yi, Du Qian, and the other strong ones all swallowed nervously, their eyes wide with shock.

Among them, Zhang Hao is undoubtedly the strongest.

But even Zhang Hao, sensing their battle, felt immense pressure.

He raised his hand and summoned a wolf with yellow and white fur, which appeared at his side.

"That six-armed monster has reached the level of a Martial Sovereign!"

Through the war beast's scouting means, Zhang Hao determined the God of War's specific strength.

As soon as those words were spoken, Zhang Yi and the others were all stunned, unable to speak for a moment.

Martial Sovereign?

"Your Majesty isn't a Martial Emperor? How can you contend with a monster of Martial Sovereign level?"

The gap between a Martial Emperor and a Martial Sovereign is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.

To say it could be slapped to death with one palm is an overestimation of the Martial Emperor's strength!

For a Martial King to overthrow a Martial Emperor is already as difficult as climbing to heaven, yet in history there have been those who managed it.

But for a Martial Emperor to overthrow a Martial Sovereign, they have never even heard of a single case!

Based on their knowledge of Your Majesty, although Your Majesty's strength is among the top of the Martial Emperors of the surrounding nations.

But to match a Martial Sovereign remains a fantasy.

Among those present, only Zhang Hao knows why Xiao Wan Di can contend with the God of War.
