Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Academy in the Wilderness Valley, and the other was actually the little beggar from back then.

Li Yuanqing had encountered them two or three times in the Wilderness over the years, so he had some impression of them.

This time, they were surrounded by countless envious gazes when Li Yuanqing saw them.
This was because they were the most famous Demon Slayer youths in the current Land of War.
Their best records are achieved from them killing daily demons by themselves.

To all martial artists, this was an honor that made them extremely envious.
Therefore, the two of them were quite proud.
When they were together, they vaguely became the backbone of all martial artists in the dangerous areas of the catacomb.

This also made the two of them, who were once humble, become exceptionally proud and confident when they walked in front of others.
Therefore, when the two of them led the patrol team and saw that Li Yuanqing was alone, they kindly stopped.

“Brother, we received a message that an ordinary-level demon escaped from the catacomb.
It’s not recommended for martial artists to travel alone because it’s too dangerous.
You can team up with us.
With Black Iron and me around, we can protect you at critical moments…”

The person who spoke was the little beggar from back then.
He didn’t even have a name at first.
After entering the Martial Arts Academy, he took the surname North and was named North Star.

He and Black Iron were known as the Northern Black Star and could be considered the rising stars of the Northern Kingdom.
The two of them had the strength of eighth-grade martial artists.
Their actual combat ability was very good because they often went to the Wilderness to train.

When North Star saw Li Changqing, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this elegant young man somewhere before.
After all, Li Yuanqing looked like he was only in his twenties.
He looked to be two or three years older than North Star and Black Iron.

North Star thought that Li Yuanqing was a classmate of the Northern Kingdom’s Martial Arts Academy.

Li Yuanqing had a super memory.
He recognized North Star and Black Iron.
He heard them say that there were ordinary-level demons when he heard them say that they wanted to protect him.

He smiled.

“There are actually ordinary-level demons? So many of those demons have escaped?”

Demons were divided into daily-level demons, ordinary-level demons, nightmare-level demons, terrifying-level demons, and extinction-level demons.

Most of them were daily-level demons back when Li Yuanqing sealed the Catacomb No.
1.
Although there were also ordinary-level and nightmare-level demons, there were very few of them.
He did not expect that the level of demons in the Catacomb No.
2 had increased.

“Yes, follow us.
It’s too dangerous to be alone.
Let’s form a team.
It’s safer and we can attack and defend together…”

Black Iron was also calling for Li Yuanqing.
They could not see through Li Yuanqing’s realm.
They only saw that he was unfamiliar and young, so they instinctively treated him as an ordinary martial artist.
They would never have dreamed that Li Yuanqing was the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom, that he was the god in their hearts.

Li Yuanqing nodded when he saw the two of them trying their best to invite him.
So he went together with North Star and Black Iron.

There were about twenty to thirty people in this group.
They did not look old and were all rising stars of the Northern Kingdom’s Martial Arts Academy.
When Li Yuanqing joined these people, he barely said anything.
However, he could hear the whispers of their companions.

“I heard that many martial artists from the Northern Kingdom have come this time.
Even Dean Wang has come.
The Catacomb No.
2 is the most dangerous.
The original Northern Kingdom is still the best.
There’s actually not a single exit to the catacomb…”

“I heard that the ordinary-level demon have already injured more than ten martial artists this time.
Dean Wang came for him.
If anyone really encounters him, you must release the signal light first.
This kind of ordinary-level demon is very rare.”

“Yes, ordinary-level demons are more ferocious than ten, no, a hundred daily-level demons.
I heard that ordinary-level demons can easily kill Martial Saints…”

“A ninth-grade martial artist was killed this morning.
Everyone, be careful!”

…

All kinds of discussions were saying that ordinary-level demons were quite difficult to deal with.
If a small team of twenty to thirty people like them encountered them, it was best not to fight them head-on.
They just had to stall for time.

They could not trap the ordinary-level demons.
At most, they could still fight against daily-level demons.

North Star and Li Yuanqing walked at the back of the group.
From time to time, North Star’s eyes would land on Li Yuanqing’s face.

“Brother, what’s your name? Are you a local here? Have you been to the Wilderness? Why do I find you familiar? You look like an old friend I met in the Wilderness…”

North Star still had a trace of fantasy in his heart.
He felt that as long as Li Yuanqing had been to the Wilderness, he might have a connection with that old friend.
There were not many people who looked similar, but it had been too long.
He might not even remember Li Yuanqing’s appearance clearly.
After all, it had been many years.

“I’ve been to the Wilderness Valley…” Li Yuanqing paused for a moment when he said this because something had approached within ten miles.
However, none of them had discovered it.
Their strength was still too weak.
It was completely insufficient.

“Then have you been to the Wilderness Martial Arts Academy?” North Star was still asking Li Yuanqing anxiously and did not notice anything approaching them.

“Eh, why did you stop?” North Star looked at Li Yuanqing in confusion as he stopped.
He still did not notice anyone approaching.

“Hey, newcomer, why are you stopping? You can’t fall behind!” Black Iron was still laughing.
Everyone in the team was still rushing forward.

They were all urging Li Yuanqing to walk.

“I’m a little tired.
Can I rest?” Li Yuanqing’s serious words attracted the kind advice of many people.

“Young man, you should leave quickly when you return to a safe place.
The Land of War is not a place for you to visit your friends.
This place is the most dangerous place.
How can you stop because of hardship?”

“If we Martial Arts Academy martial artists were all afraid of hardship and fatigue, we wouldn’t have our current reputation.
You should leave after you return to the camp…”

“We’re here to suppress the demons, not to enjoy ourselves.
The Martial Arts Academy’s trial is countless times harder than this.
If you can’t do it, give up early.
We can’t burden everyone and tarnish the reputation of all martial artists because of you…”

…

At this moment, almost all the martial artists were disappointed in Li Yuanqing.

Initially, it was easy for people to have a good impression of him just by looking at him.
However, they did not expect that he was so good-looking but useless.
He was so good-looking yet he was too disappointing.

“Everyone, stop talking.
Have you forgotten what’s the most important thing about the Tripartite Formation? Coordination, cooperation, and tolerance.
Let’s rest for ten minutes…” North Star suddenly shouted, his voice suppressing the words of many martial artists.
However, he looked at Li Yuanqing in disappointment and gestured for everyone to rest.

However, he stayed far away from Li Yuanqing and stopped asking questions.
It was obvious that he was extremely disappointed and disdainful of him.
Such a person who was afraid of hardship and liked to enjoy life was definitely not the man with the temperament of a legitimate immortal that he had seen back then.

There might be similarities in appearance, but it was impossible for everyone’s thoughts and thoughts to be the same.
