Chapter Eighty-Five: Review

  The crows and sparrows make no sound.

  What Qin Hao said and did made them feel like a thunderclap in their ears.

  Sorry, I couldn't hold back. This phrase is too understated, it sounds like according to him, smashing a stone or two into pieces is as easy as eating and drinking, without any pressure at all.

  The person who had just mocked Qin Hao with the most effort couldn't sit still. The flesh on his face twitched, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

  This measuring stone can at least withstand the full force of a three-stage Lingxuan warrior. Once, a four-stage Lingxuan warrior also experimented with this measuring stone, and the result was that it shattered into several pieces.

  However, like this kid, with one punch, the back two-thirds were pulverized, but the front was unscathed. This kind of technique is unheard of.

  The woman sitting on the long table behind her face changed greatly, her eyes wide open, and her mouth unceremoniously agape. This situation, for her, was a first-time sight.

  After a while, she let out a sigh of relief and suddenly felt at ease. Fortunately, although she had been skeptical just now, she hadn't forgotten to maintain basic courtesy.

  "Is there anything else?" Qin Hao put away the seal and books, turned around and stood to one side.

  The woman bowed slightly, a faint smile on her face, and spoke in an increasingly respectful tone: "No more. If you have any doubts about the Hunter's Covenant, I can explain it to you."

  Qin Hao nodded and walked a few steps to the right, stepped onto the stairs, and went up to the second floor along the ladder.

  Until Qin Hao walked up, many martial artists downstairs took a deep breath and exchanged glances with the people around them, only to find that their eyes were filled with intense shock.

  "What kind of person is this kid, anyway?" A man slumped back in his chair, his tone indignant: "How can this be? At such a young age, he already has such abilities. Could it be that he's also a warrior of the Lingxuan Fourth Realm?"

  "Impossible." The dark man beside him immediately retorted loudly. He suddenly realized he had shouted too loudly, stretched his neck and looked nervously towards the stairs: "The feeling just now, his realm will not exceed Lingxuan San Chong."

  "What kind of person is he?" Yang Qing sneered, his face changing unpredictably: "That kid's martial skills are very powerful, but lacking experience, he's still a useless waste. In the Hunting Alliance, there have been many skilled warriors who, when facing a demon beast for the first time, were so scared that their legs turned soft and became cowards."

  "Furthermore." Yang Qing's gaze swept across everyone's face, his eyebrow raised: "The Hunter's Alliance has always distributed rewards based on the number of tasks received. If we let this kid snatch up all the tasks, our losses will be substantial. You all should know what to do, right?"

  As soon as this was said, everyone's face changed color. At this moment, among the martial artists still present, none of them were particularly strong, and Yang Qing, a Lingxuan and a Zhongwu martial artist, could dominate here, which is quite revealing.

  Usually powerful warriors have already taken on lucrative tasks and set off. They can't even compete with others, let alone let Qin Hao join in and take a share of the spoils, or they won't be able to make a living anymore.

  For a moment, everyone's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. Yang Qing's face revealed a cold smile, a newcomer trying to show off his power here, he had miscalculated.

  *

  Qin Hao stepped on the stairs, his eyes a bit dazed.

  He came to this hunting alliance, naturally with the purpose of getting what he wanted and inquiring about matters related to Baozi. Another point was that the information in the hunting alliance was extremely well-informed.

  Not to mention the small country of Shenmu, even if it were a country several or even ten times larger than his own, the Hunter's Guild could gather most of its information. Choosing to come here was also one of the necessary steps he had to take before his training.

  Occasional sounds, big or small, came from downstairs, most of which were comments about him. Qin Hao didn't pay much attention to it. The Earth-Shattering Palm had reached a minor completion, and he had gained insight into the intent of the fist. When attacking, his Xuan Qi was no longer straightforward and brutal, but could be like ocean waves, with each wave crashing down with a shocking force.

  Using this method to shatter a rock is no big deal for him. In a place like the Hunting Alliance, without real power, one will ultimately be looked down upon. He doesn't mind showing off a bit more either.

  After climbing nearly a hundred steps, I stepped onto the second floor and suddenly everything in front of me became clear.

  The second floor is surprisingly much wider than the one below. The entire second floor has a very simple and clear layout, divided into more than ten rooms, each of which is quite spacious.

  These rooms all didn't have doors, so from Qin Hao's side looking over, the situation inside was clear at a glance.

  Inside the room, row upon row of bookshelves stretched out horizontally, and the classics on the shelves looked somewhat old-fashioned, exuding an air of antiquity.

  At the entrance of each room, there is no ordinary door, but a thin light curtain blocking it.

  Qin Hao walked forward, carefully examining it. The light screen was smooth as a mirror, with flashes of light that were extremely dazzling. Qin Hao stretched out his hand and lightly pressed on the light screen. Before he could make another move, the light shadow wall suddenly burst into brightness, and a massive force rebounded along his arm, causing Qin Hao to retreat several steps at once.

  Sealing Mystical Formation. Moreover, it's a second-grade high-level Sealing Mystical Formation.

  Qin Hao suddenly understood in his heart. The small black stone left by the Array Master's predecessor introduced the function of this Sealing Mysterious Array.

  Using the formation diagram, the mysterious crystal's power is activated, forming a light screen. The shape of the light screen can be determined at will, and high-ranking formation masters often use this light screen to lay down seals and protect rare items.

  The most wonderful thing about this Xuanxuan formation is that the attacking power of the martial artist will be absorbed by the light curtain and rebounded back with the help of the Xuanjing demon's power. In order to break through this seal, one can only use a powerful force to burst open the formation diagram.

  What made Qin Hao's heart uncertain was that this Sealing Mysterious Array had already reached the second-tier high-level category. It seemed that his previous guess about the array master was still a bit too low.

  Just as I was about to step forward, a deep voice emerged beside me.

  "Don't run around randomly."

  Qin Hao was slightly startled in his heart, but his face remained unchanged. He turned sideways and saw a thin old man standing behind him with an unpleasant expression, coldly staring at him.

  The old man was extremely thin and small, only half a head taller than an ordinary 8 or 9-year-old child. His face was covered with age spots. His hands were like withered vines.

  So far, those who can appear within three steps behind Qin Hao without him noticing are Ji Fan and the three elders of the Qin family, true masters of martial arts.

  "Hmm?" The old man furrowed his brow, his already wrinkled face resembling a dry orange peel: "Ling Xuan's second disciple, quite young but your cultivation isn't bad. Are you the new nominal warrior of the Hunter Alliance?"

  Qin Hao didn't dare to be careless, cupped his hands and replied in a neither arrogant nor humble tone: "Yes."

  "Bring out the seal."

  Qin Hao hesitated slightly, lowering the seal. The material of this seal was quite strange, neither iron nor wood, and it felt warm to the touch. In his previous life, he had also come into contact with it. Generally, when a nominal warrior wanted to convey a message, as long as they stamped the seal pattern, any branch of the Hunter's Alliance would help deliver it as soon as possible.

  As for other effects, he is unclear.

  "The authority is only one." The old man measured for a moment, and threw the seal back into Qin Hao's hand: "You can only go to that room over there. Do you see that spot on the outer wall of the room? Put the seal in it, and you'll be able to enter."

  Qin Hao walked towards the old man's location and found that on the outer wall of a relatively small room, there was a small recess.

  "Thank you." Qin Hao nodded his hands and turned to leave. He walked to the wall, put the seal into the recess, and it fit perfectly.

  The screen shook violently and automatically retracted to both sides, revealing a gap in the middle that could accommodate one person.

  Qin Hao turned his head to look, and the old man who was standing there just now had disappeared unknowingly. Shaking his head, Qin Hao pulled out the seal and stepped forward a few steps.

  When he was fully inside, the light screen quickly closed again and restored its original appearance.

  "There is indeed something interesting in this hunting alliance."

  Qin Hao muttered to himself. In his past life in the Hunter's Alliance, he had stayed for a year and hadn't seen anything like this before.

  As he drew closer, the classics on the bookshelf were densely packed. Qin Hao quickly browsed through the shelves, occasionally pulling out a book to examine it carefully.

  Ten thousand beasts valley demon beast.

  A sign in front of a bookshelf stopped Qin Hao. He pulled out a classic from the shelf, brushed off a thin layer of dust on it, and examined it carefully.

  Wan Shou Gu, Qin Hao also had some understanding. Wan Shou Gu was not all low-lying areas, the outer periphery was relatively high terrain, only the central area, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and sunken in the middle. Because this place gathered monsters, it was called Wan Shou Gu.

  It is said that there are tens of thousands of kinds of demonic beasts in the valley. However, hundreds of years ago, four Tianxuan Wuzhe from this country, along with three Tianxuan Wuzhe from other countries, joined forces to seal off the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, allowing humans to enter and exit freely while preventing the demonic beasts from taking even half a step out. Furthermore, over the past hundred years, martial artists have continuously hunted down the demonic beasts in the valley, keeping their numbers stable and unable to grow.

  Long fingers flipped open the catalog, and a beautiful pattern appeared in front of her.

  "Fengshe, a first-class peak demon beast, with a pair of small meat wings on its back, extremely fast, and scales on its chest comparable to fine iron."

  " Weakness: Relatively weak against fire-type Xuanqi."

  ………

  Behind, a big pile of zeros and ones, from the habits, habitats, strengths, weaknesses of the demon beasts, almost an introduction to one demon beast, occupies half the thickness of the book. A book as thick as a pillow, but only introduces one or two kinds of demon beasts.

  The degree of detail was beyond Qin Hao's imagination. The fat man had also left some things behind, but the records he left were too rough compared to these.

  Qin Hao put down the book in his hand and casually picked up another one. He flipped it open and found that it was also the same situation.

  As he flipped through it, Qin Hao became more and more surprised. There were indeed some underlying implications in the Hunting Alliance.

  Suddenly, Qin Hao remembered something: what was the deal with the virtual shadow that appeared in front of Qin Yuxian's body?

  That strange virtual shadow, Qin Hao had never even heard of it. With so many demon beast tomes in front of him, could he find some information from them?

  Qin Hao's heart suddenly accelerated, he quickened his pace, row after row of bookshelves flipping past.

  ………

  After an unknown period of time, Qin Hao finally put down the things in his hands and let out a long sigh. The bookshelves here recorded demonic beasts that were all below first rank, high-ranking demonic beasts had not been recorded. Other demonic beast data should be in other rooms.

  It seems that checking the beast's data is indeed closely related to that authority. According to the rules, the way to upgrade authority is to perform well in subsequent tasks.

  Thinking of this, Qin Hao had no choice but to restart the light screen and walk out, heading downstairs. It seemed that he still had to complete some tasks before he could find what he wanted to see.
