The God of Cataka

26

"Our journey to the Knight Trials is still very long," Bao Hu exclaimed from the podium where the spiritual power test apparatus stood.

College students lined up neatly in the middle of the hall floor, listening to his speech.

"In the midst of this mourning, in the remnants of our destruction, no matter how painful it may be, no matter how difficult it may be, we must not retreat. The Bao Sect Championship will still be implemented!" Bao Hu announced.

College students clenched their hands on the sides of their bodies. Raising their faces full of determination.

Soon, they had already been herded into the fighting arena on the other side of the dorm grounds. A kind of open hall designed specifically for championships. In the middle of the hard and dark stone floor, a low stage was installed surrounded by seating or standing for the audience.

Shen Zhu was placed in a special seat as the sole Champion Path Participant, while the other participants fought to clinch the Great Nine.

The remaining less than fifty participants were left after some of them were killed in the tempest a few days ago.

Not until the full day of the Nine Great Struggle had been completed with the final result clear, given the number of their spiritual strength.

Four of them are Chairman of Dormitory One Son, Chairman Dormitory Two Sons, student Dormitory One Son and Chairman Dormitory One Daughter as the only female student who entered the Top Ten.

The other five were disciples of Dormitory Seven, and that meant seven quota won by Bao Yu's college. Some parties are dissatisfied.

But Bao Hu is trying to remain sportive given that Bao Yu has the most advanced weapon that can sweep a continent in one fell swoop.

"Next," Bao Hu's instructions at the end of the championship. "The Knight Exam Requirement requires that each participant already have a mount."

What was meant by a mount here was a spiritual beast that would become a knight companion. Also called Monster Partners. It takes a blood covenant or spiritual covenant and the consent of the related beast to make it as a companion. Each knight has only one chance to choose a mount for the rest of his life. And every year, there were only dozens of qualified knights.

"In addition, the requirement to choose a mount, at least the knight has already passed the level of fifty spiritual power!" Bao Hu added. "So, during these two months, you've all had to pass level fifty."

"What?" top ten champions—except Shen Zhu, squealing simultaneously.

"For that," Bao Hu added again. "You will be given a mission. The first week, hunt the demon monsters to obtain the demon god crystal. The second week underwent a divine resurrection ritual. Week three, self-development discipline. The rest depends on your own efforts."

The participants groaned at the same time.

"Specifically for the Champion Path Participants," Bao Hu glanced at Shen Zhu, followed by everyone's eyes. "You'll follow the hunt, but you're not obligated to undergo the divine resurrection ritual, unless you get a suitable crystal."

"Crystals that fit?" Shen Zhu did not understand.

"Crystals suitable for the galactic realm are only possessed by the Demon God Pillar," explained Bao Hu.

The Demon God Pillar was the source of the power of the thirty-one Demon Gods. Originally, the demon gods were born from the Demon God Pillar. Each demon god crown had a demon god crystal. It is a symbol of their identity.

When the demon god died, the demon god crown would return to the Demon God Pillar by itself, to then re-select the successor that would become the new demon god.

If the crown of the demon god was destroyed, the Demon God Pillar would take another hundred years to create a new demon god.

From this demon monster usually a new demon god will be born.

Demon monsters were spiritual beasts of the demon race. Unlike the mounts that came from the god race.

After a hundred years, the demon monsters would undergo physical changes naturally and would continue to ovulate year after year after that. Depends on their respective cultivation. If qualified, they would be appointed as the new demon god.

"What a pity!" muttered Shen Zhu as he rubbed his chin with his knuckle. "Know that, the crown of the vampire king won't come with me!" regretted with the eyebrows linked.

Everyone simultaneously stiffened. Some laughed in his heart.

"Mistress," Shen Zu raised his eyebrows politely. "You misunderstood me!"

Everyone held their breath. Not expecting Shen Zhu to dare to quibble.

Everyone knew Liu Shen Zhu was suffering from an impaired ability to interact. He never even raised his face when he met someone else. Especially Madam Chairman, no one dared to argue with her.

"Is he really Liu Shen Zhu?" whisper some people.

The honored elders and grandmistress certainly wished Shen Zhu to remain a sickly autistic child. It would definitely be more convenient for them to reduce the thought of a demigod to just a killing machine that had the ability to only obey orders.

But Liu Shen Zhu, just like that annihilated their hopes as he began to stand up.

Calmly and cleverly strategized as an experienced chess player, he folded his hands and explained, "I'm not being damned to the Chairman," Shen Zhu said. "Just bereft of information as important as this I just found out!"

"You dare to argue with me?" Jian Yin raised his voice even more.

"Yin'er!" sela Bao Hu half growled.

Jian Yin instantly fell silent. His face looks angry. His eyes were full of threat.

More and more of it sounds dehumane because of the uncomfortable feeling when the chairman added, "This is an important extension!" he said to his wife. "Can't you just put aside the one-hour caste problem?"

Shen Zhu's turn was now the one laughing in his heart. Apparently Madam Chairman will miss this very beautiful day. Too bad, he thought he didn't care.

"And you!" Bao Hu turned to Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu immediately bowed respectfully soldier-crossed one hand in front of the chest with his fingers clenched.

"You've reached the galactic realm" Bao Hu reminded. "No need to rush to level up. The Low-Level Galaxy Realm was enough for the Continent Level Knight Exam!"

"Shen Zhu understands!" Shen Zhu bowed again.

Princess Bao Hu glanced towards the young man silently while grinding her teeth. The cold face of the young man made his face feel burning. Liu Shen Zhu. Don't think that since you've already broken through the galactic realm you can arbitrarily, growled inwardly.

"I warn you all!" Bao Hu stared at the ten participants with squinted eyes. "No matter which dorm, the ten of you are a team. So from now on you should work together."

Jialin was immediately bowed with a pouting face. So did his brother and his henchmen.

"If anyone dares to provoke, don't blame me for being cruel!" bao Hu's.

Bao Yu gave a faint snort. Glancing at his sister-in-law's cynical secret.

"Tomorrow morning, you will leave," continued Bao Hu. "After entering the Hunt Forest, other than monsters, you will encounter many dangers. And just so you know demon monsters don't know the noble caste. Other than strength, no one can guarantee your lives. So, try to take care of each other."

Jian Yin groaned towards Tianba with a subtle gesture.

The young man responded with a faint subtle hunch.
