Swoosh!

The person who arrived was none other than Zhou Hao.

After killing the demon generals crazily, he had just arrived at Area 226 when the Black Scale Demon Python and the other demon beasts fled in fear, making him very speechless.

Fortunately, his speed was not slow. He caught up to the edge and killed this high-level demon general just in time.

Glancing at Yuan Cheng and the others, he thought that they were from the martial artist team of the Huadong City. He smiled and said, “Are you guys alright?”

Hearing this, Yuan Cheng, Yun Yan, and the other geniuses returned to their senses.

Shock filled their faces that were covered by the masks.

With just one saber move, he had killed the high-level demon general.

They instantly realized that the person in front of them was definitely a grandmaster!

“Se… Senior, Thank you for saving our lives!” Yun Yan was the first to react as she opened her mask in gratitude.

Yuan Cheng and the others also hurriedly thanked him.

Zhou Hao was stunned. He did not expect this team of martial artists to be so young.

“Are you students from the city?” he asked.

Yun Yan hurriedly said, “Sir, we are students from the Yanjing Training Camp. We were transferred to Huadong City to participate in a training class!”

Zhou Hao was stunned again. “The Yanjing Training Camp?”

Another woman called Fang Yu spoke first, “Yes, sir. It was Qu City High School’s Instructor Shen who transferred us here!”

Only then did Zhou Hao understand. He subconsciously said, “Does that mean that you guys are also here to undergo training at Qu City High School?”

“Sir, do you know about the Qu City High School’s training class?” Yuan Cheng seized the opportunity and said directly. After all, this person in front of him was likely a grandmaster. In front of such a figure, Yuan Cheng naturally wanted to get on the grandmaster’s good side.

Zhou Hao realized that there was something wrong with his tone and hurriedly restrained his thoughts. He said indifferently, “Not bad. This will be a good opportunity for you guys. Remember to work hard in Qu City High School’s training class!”

With that said, he put the Black Scale Demon Python into his spatial bag and soared into the sky.

Looking at the red armor disappear into the horizon, Yuan Cheng and the other geniuses revealed disappointed expressions.

“That saber move just now… was too shocking!”

“That’s right. Even our Chief Instructor wouldn’t be able to perform such a saber technique!”

“That’s right. It’s as if there’s only that saber light left in the world. If I can learn even a little of it, I’ll be satisfied!”

“Save it. How can such a saber technique be learned so easily? Moreover, even if this expert is willing to teach, it will still be extremely difficult to learn!”

All of them sighed. They were completely stunned by the saber technique Zhou Hao had used.

Yuan Cheng and the other geniuses from the Yanjing Training Camp had seen many secret techniques and combat techniques, but they had never seen such a terrifying saber technique.

“Alright, let’s hurry back. Also, cancel the emergency distress signal!”

…

At the military camp of the East Station of the Huadong City.

At midnight, Commander Zhao and the other grandmasters returned.

The other grandmasters had gained some gains from the cleanup operation tonight. It was mainly because they had bumped into the shadow insects Zhou Hao failed to capture.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

For a moment, the entire military camp square was filled with the corpses of shadow insects.

“More than two hundred shadow insects. I think there are very few shadow insects remaining outside the city now. Even if there are, they will probably be summoned by the insect king to retreat!” He Biao said with a smile.

Zhen Hong nodded. “There are very few shadow insects to begin with, and all of them are the Insect Race’s treasures. Now that they have lost so many at once, that insect king must be anxious.”

Commander Zhao laughed. “Nice. There’s nothing to worry about in the city now. It’s all thanks to Senior Zhou.”

“That’s right. It’s definitely Senior Zhou’s credit that we were able to find the shadow insects!” Grandmaster Yu chimed in. They were not stupid. When they had encountered the shadow insects, the shadow insects had clearly been fleeing. Moreover, they were fleeing from Zhou Hao’s location.

The other grandmasters nodded.

Swoosh.

A red figure descended.

“Senior Zhou!” Commander Zhao and the others smiled as they welcomed him.

Zhou Hao swept his gaze over the shadow insect corpses in the camp square and smiled. “Looks like everyone has gotten a lot of gains this time.”

“All thanks to Senior Zhou!”

“Senior Zhou’s luck is much better than ours!”

He Biao and the others were all enthusiastic.

Zhou Hao smiled and took out the shadow insect corpses from his spatial bag. There were more than 70 of them. Including the previous 100, there were now more than 200.

“The competition has ended. Senior Zhou killed the most shadow insects and will be the one to receive the Life Stone!” Commander Zhao did not waste any time when he saw the corpses and directly handed the Life Stone to Zhou Hao.

Holding the Life Stone, Zhou Hao immediately felt a refreshing feeling spread throughout his body, making him excited.

“Commander Zhao, thank you!” Although he had relied on his strength and luck to get first place, he knew very well that Commander Zhao’s contribution to the Life Stone was a selfless contribution!

If it were any other expert, they wouldn’t have taken it out so easily even if it was useless to them.

Commander Zhao shook his head. “Senior Zhou, you’re too polite. You’ve contributed greatly to the city. This Life Stone is well deserved!”

The other grandmasters nodded.

Then, they all participated in the celebration banquet. Commander Zhao also announced that the cleanup operation had temporarily ended. In the future, they will still continue it if more shadow insects appear.

During this time, many grandmasters also asked Zhou Hao about how he planned on dealing with the corpse of the Seven-Tailed Cloud Mink.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hao finally decided to hand over the Seven-Tailed Cloud Mink’s corpse to Commander Zhao.

Compared to the other factions, the army camp undoubtedly needed it the most.. After all, they were resisting at the frontline and needed the materials of high-level demon kings to provide better equipment for research!
