In normal times, sparring battles between fierce beasts are as common as daily meals. As long as they don't kill each other, it won't even cause the tribes to argue.

However, there are always some rebellious fierce beasts that, from a young age, love to compete and challenge the world.

They are often beaten by the strong and cry for their parents, but they also frequently make the weak scream and howl.

Xiaoba looks up to rebellious strong ones, its wish is to become invincible among fierce beasts after advancing to the Innate stage.

Zhou Leng didn't expect this seemingly cheerful little mammoth to be so combative at heart.

Returning to Mammoth Lake, he saw many mammoths soaking in the lake, motionless.

This sight has been seen several times, and it has become more frequent in recent months.

Not sure if the Eight-toothed Mammoths are expanding their territory or encountering strong enemies.

Leading Huang out of the fierce beast world.

The morning sun shines on Xiaoru Village, with the elders busy with farm work.

The village's cats and dogs start moving, following behind Huang.

A dog limps while barking mournfully.

Huang suddenly barked a few times fiercely, leading the cats and dogs out of the village.

Zhou Leng knew they must be going to join a group fight.

Among the cats and dogs, Huang appeared larger and more robust.

Zhou Leng paused for a moment, carefully observing and recalling Huang's aura, discovering that Huang was also growing rapidly.

Although not as fast as himself, Xiaoba can easily share some medicinal fruits, which is enough.

Walking along, checking Tian Wenhua's intelligence.

Seeing the new information, Zhou Leng's eyes lit up.

Tian Wenhua had gathered many people and fought several rounds with Xue Tongming's people in Demon City, with casualties on both sides.

The friction between the two sides is getting bigger, and the Martial Guard Bureau judges that a real battle or deadly duel is imminent.

The intelligence shows that Tian Wenhua has contacted Shuangjiao Exploration Company and other forces, continuously spending money to pull strings and invite experts.

What's interesting is that a special piece of intelligence actually reveals the name of an internal informant.

Tu Rong.

Once encountered at a nightclub, and later met in Shuizhou Demon City and the dwarf world, under Yan Fenggang's command.

This piece of intelligence was originally sent to Wang Boxiong.

Wang Boxiong shared this intelligence with Zhou Leng.

After reading the intelligence, Zhou Leng opened the Martial Guard Department's map of Demon City, finally locating the Deer Horn Mountain area and finding a mining site there.

This mining site is Tian Wenhua's base of operations in Demon City.

Tian Wenhua continuously dispatches troops to this mining site.

Zhou Leng looked at the nearby map again.

Last year, when competing with Song Juesi and Liang Baiyin, that mining site was also in the Deer Horn Mountain area.

The mining site seized back then has become Xue Tongming's base and is also expanding personnel.

In Martial Faith, Xue Chengsong also frequently sent news about both sides, and the results were almost identical to those investigated by the Martial Guard Department.

Currently, Tian Wenhua is still in Rucheng and has not entered Shuizhou Demon City.

Zhou Leng called Xue Chengsong.

"How's the situation?"

"We're discussing tonight."

"I can try both the Early Period and Middle Period vitality stage duels."

"Next, with Tian Wenhua, it's at least a fight to the death, no such thing as ordinary duels."

"No problem, whether it's a deadly fight or a regular fight, I want to use the Five Tigers of Shuizhou to test my strength." Zhou Leng said.

"Good! Our family is almost ready too, there should be results within three days."

"I'll wait for your news then."

Zhou Leng ended the call, slowly sketching various possibilities in his mind.

Returning to the Ruda campus, after cultivation and lunch, Zhou Leng instructed Xu Qingjin.

"For the next two weeks, the Demon Worship Sect will be active, you're not allowed to go anywhere, not even home. You must stay on the Ruda campus."

"Okay." Xu Qingjin didn't even hesitate.

"If anything happens, contact me immediately."

"Okay."

"This is a demonized crossbow and a box of arrows. Put them in your temporary Magic Spirit Bag for emergencies."

Xu Qingjin took the demonized crossbow, his expression slightly heavy, and placed it in the temporary Magic Spirit Bag.

"You be careful, but I know you're strong, nothing will happen." Xu Qingjin looked at Zhou Leng, who had grown much taller compared to last year.

"Mm, as long as you're safe, no one can influence me." Zhou Leng said.

Xu Qingjin was taken aback, pondering over this sentence, his lips curling into a smile that couldn't be suppressed.

After an afternoon rest, on the way back to Xiaoru Village, he received a call from Zhao Nandi.

"Zhou Leng, on April 1st, I'm coming to Rucheng with Divine Text experts from the General Bureau. They'll go straight to the Ancient River Ruins by car, and I'll stay in Rucheng for a few days to survey the martial academies and give a Divine Text class at Ruda."

"April 1st? Alright, I'll pick you up at the airport, send me the time. Have you arranged accommodation?"

"Yes, staying at a friend's house in Rucheng."

"Do you want to look around when you get to Rucheng?" Zhou Leng asked.

"I'll focus on work, no sightseeing. I came to Rucheng when I was young."

"That's fine. Let me know if you need anything since I'm a native of Rucheng."

"Okay. Don't forget to study Divine Text well, I'll test you in person, and if you can't answer, hmph..."

"I've been studying hard; this time, I'm sure I'll become a Senior Divine Text Researcher." Zhou Leng said.

"That's my boy." Zhao Nandi, eager to leave the suffocating Xiong City, was in a particularly good mood.

Zhou Leng felt helpless, Zhao Nandi treated him like a child, next time I'll find a chance to counter with the Mysterious Master... no, to acknowledge and encourage her.

Then, Zhao Nandi earnestly began to nag.

"You are my first disciple, I have already told the teacher..."

"In the Divine Text Domain, everyone is amicable, but there are still academic and factional disputes..."

"Recently, with the big explosion of Divine Text, as research reached new areas, debates have become more intense..."

"Don't always isolate yourself, reach out and ask me when you encounter problems..."

Zhou Leng knew Zhao Nandi genuinely treated him as a disciple and that he truly saw her as a half-teacher in the Divine Text Domain.

However, some problems are really hard to ask, probably only the top Divine Text Masters of the Ten Realms could barely answer some.

After finishing the conversation with Zhao Nandi, Zhou Leng noted the pick-up time and headed straight to Mammoth Lake, calling Xiaoba along, once again to spar or rather to have a bloody battle with the Black Bone Tiger.

The sun set, and the moonlight shone upon the Lianxiang Exploration Branch.

In the basement, the black leather outfit accentuated Mrs. Xiyang's provocative body curves.

She stood in front of the table, scanning the Demon Worship Sect members standing at both sides.

"Today is March 27, in the coming days be fully prepared, on April 1, let's play a bloody little joke on humans."

"This joke will unfold comprehensively from railways, electrical lines, subways, highways, to airports."

"I will personally go to the airport to deal with a batch of Divine Text Experts."

"How's the progress of the defection of Rucheng's subordinates?"

Mrs. Xiyang looked towards everyone, and they pitched in with ideas.

"Half are willing to take direct action, the other half are still considering."

"I just defected a Vitality Stage Late Stage expert, preparing to assist him in ascending Demon Innate."

"Why not just demonize them all right away."

"I think that's unwise, we should take it slowly, after all, these people lurking can be much more useful."

"Then have those who are not very valuable demonized quickly, to cooperate with our actions as soon as possible."

"April 1 is just the opening, the real show is yet to come..."

Tian Wenhua's villa.

Fully armed, Tian Wenhua stood in the living room, scanning every corner of the house.

The fifth of the Five Tigers of Shuizhou, Yan Fenggang also looked around.

"Big brother, we are sure to come back, there is no need to be so solemn. It's just a death battle, why not just pay someone to die for us?"

Tian Wenhua smiled and said, "Old Five, you are still the same as before, being stingy on small matters, but soft-hearted when it comes to big ones."

Yan Fenggang muttered in a low voice, "Over the years, you've been softer than I have."

Tian Wenhua didn't mind, looking at himself in the mirror, seeing his full head of white hair, not a single black strand, he sighed softly.

Tian Wenhua said, "Do you remember how my hair first turned white?"

That year, when he learned his parents were killed by a demon, he first had some white hair.

Yan Fenggang nodded, "Of course I remember, and that little bitch."

A fleeting nostalgia flashed across Tian Wenhua's face, then he said expressionlessly, "I have always been grateful to her, she released the tiger within my heart."

"Why else would you be the big brother?" Yan Fenggang's eyes flickered, back then, the reputation of the Five Tigers of Shuizhou was mostly established by Tian Wenhua alone.

At the start, he led the charge, fearless whether against demons or adversaries, returning bloodied each time.

Later, as the company grew, he strategized and made the company thrive.

After the Five Tigers of Shuizhou split into divisions, he maintained fairness in distributing interests, gaining everyone's respect without greed or corruption. This made the other four tigers, even with their own companies, frequently gather and regard each other as one.

No matter what outsiders said about Tian Wenhua, in the eyes of the old brothers, Tian Wenhua is forever the best big brother.

Tian Wenhua slowly said, "Do you know what I've worried about most since I washed my hands off the business?"

"The reckoning of other forces?"

"With so many old enemies, how could I not be worried? So, to avoid that constant worry, before I retired, I want all the old friends to hear that the tiger's might still exists."

"Are you planning to target Xue Tongming? But in a death battle, there are victories and defeats, it's uncertain." Yan Fenggang said.

"Death battle? I never planned for that. Let's go." Tian Wenhua headed outside.

Yan Fenggang pondered while walking, soon understanding Tian Wenhua's intent.

Back then, Tian Wenhua did the same.

That battle established his absolute position as the leader among the Five Tigers.

Walking out of the villa, dozens of camouflaged off-road vehicles lined up along the roadside.

As engines roared, the off-road vehicles kicked up a storm of dust, heading towards Shuizhou Demon City.

Under the Frost Giant Tree.

Zhou Leng woke up, did some light exercises, and started practicing the dynamic "Establishing Image Chapter."

The training method enhances physical power output, merging the body with various moves and True Qi.

Through continuous practice of the "Establishing Image Chapter," Zhou Leng discovered its content primarily enhances the ability for explosive power.

If before the final move was like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, now the final moment of the move is like a bullet firing out.

The explosion is faster, fiercer, like an elephant suddenly charging forward.

All Rivers Flow into the Sea successfully integrated with the killing move Thousand Tides Pouring into the Sea, increasing destructive power once again.

After morning exercise, Zhou Leng exited the Fierce Beast World and glanced at the time.

March 28th.

Jogging while reviewing the Martial Guard Department's intelligence.

Tian Wenhua and Xue Tongming have scheduled a death battle on the morning of March 31st at the Shuizhou Demon City Xue Tongming's mining site.

Last night, Tian Wenhua had already entered Shuizhou Demon City for final preparations.

Hundreds have gathered at his mining site.

Among them, there are over thirty at the Vitality Stage, more than sixty at the Body Refining Stage, and nearly all others are at the Blood Transporting Period.
