“Speaking of which, what does the Demon Suppression Division need these demon corpses for?”

Shen Lin walked briskly at the front, asking with some doubt.

“Demon corpses... huff, huff, tough and flexible, are huff... are good materials, able to refine... many good things.”

Cui Tiancai's face was livid as he dragged the tree vine, trudging forward with difficulty.

Behind him, the spider corpse was bound into the size of a house, being dragged along laboriously.

Cui Tiancai was alright; at least he could still answer Shen Lin's question between breaths.

The other three, at this moment dragging demon corpses of the same size, had legs trembling and no energy left to speak.

Martial artists in the Innate Realm not only had abundant spiritual energy within their bodies, but even their physical bodies were incomparably strong. Moving thousand-jin heavy rocks was an easy task for them.

But demons in the Treasure Nectar Realm had flesh density comparable to hard steel, not only tough but also extremely heavy.

Having walked this far, the few had already exhausted the spiritual energy in their bodies, relying solely on physical strength to persevere.

Shen Lin looked at this scene, smiling as he pointed ahead and said, “Put in some more effort, once we pass that slope ahead, we'll be back.”

By the time they finished walking the remaining short distance of less than ten li, it was already dusk.

After calling open the city gate that had just been closed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“The task report is up to you guys.”

Yawning, Shen Lin left directly.

Seeing his figure gradually disappearing, Li Xiaorong sat down on the ground to the side, not caring about her image at all.

“I'm exhausted, huff ~”

The others were the same; before Shen Lin, they could still maintain appearances, but now that he was gone, they all returned to their original selves.

After resting for a while, Luo Zhongning suddenly said, “Do you think, with this guy's strength, his sudden entry into the Demon Suppression Division, is it for the remaining centurion position?”

“It's possible, huh.” Li Xiaorong said, tidying her hair, “Otherwise, with his strength and background, already at the Treasure Nectar Realm, why would he still join the Demon Suppression Division with such hardship?”

Cui Tiancai remained silent for a while, then suddenly said, “Do you think there's a possibility that he has no background at all, but is a genius from humble origins?”

“Huh?”

Looking at his teammates' expressions of 'are you kidding me?', Cui Tiancai awkwardly recounted the scene he had seen at the Shanggong Hall before.

“You're saying, he only obtained the cultivation method yesterday????”

Li Guoyu widened his eyes, saying in disbelief, “But just now, his performance seemed as if all the spiritual energy in his body had already been completely converted...”

“Bro, that's not the point!”

Li Xiaorong's expression turned serious as she said in a deep voice, “The point is, he broke through to the Treasure Nectar Realm without cultivating any cultivation method! Brother Cui, can you be sure?”

“Otherwise? In Shen Lin's previous achievements, what do you think happened with that demon cultivator in the Treasure Nectar Realm?”

Cui Tiancai directly retorted.

Having witnessed Shen Lin's display of great power earlier, he no longer believed that Shen Lin had relied on any tricks to deal with that Treasure Nectar Realm demon cultivator.

Everyone was silent for a long time.

It seemed that there was no other explanation.

If Shen Lin really came from a prominent family, he would have been able to start cultivating a cultivation method as soon as he broke through to the Innate Realm.

Moreover, although the Demon Suppression Division often accepted disciples from large families, it had never accepted anyone with a cultivation base in the Treasure Nectar Realm.

“Tsk tsk, it seems that our centurion position seems to have already been decided.”

Hearing Li Xiaorong's exclamation, Luo Zhongning hesitated for a moment, then said softly, “Perhaps, it's not that stable yet.”

“What do you mean?”

“I heard... that this time when Miss Meng goes into seclusion, if everything goes smoothly, she'll be in the Treasure Nectar Realm when she comes out!”

Hearing these words, Cui Tiancai suddenly raised his head, subconsciously asking, “Is the news reliable?”

Luo Zhongning nodded, saying, “This is the information I got from the Meng family's people, it should... be no problem.”

After receiving confirmation, Cui Tiancai was momentarily dazed.

Among their generation of Demon Suppression Division captains, that Miss Meng was the one leading everyone.

Cui Tiancai had always regarded her as his goal to catch up to.

But now, the other party was about to break through to the Treasure Nectar Realm, while he was still lingering in the Innate Realm...

Seeing his somewhat dejected appearance, Li Xiaorong comforted him, “That Miss Meng is the daughter of the State Overseer, with a noble status. The resources she can obtain are not on the same level as ours at all. You don't have to be so discouraged.”

Cui Tiancai raised his head blankly, saying softly, “Before, I thought so too. But look at Senior Shen, who also came from humble origins, yet he can rise steadily and overpower those children of wealthy families...”

“In the end... I'm still not working hard enough.”

He lowered his head, looking at his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Come on, this isn't about working hard at all.”

Li Guoyu said directly, “The difference between people is sometimes greater than the difference between people and dogs. Some people can break through to the Treasure Nectar Realm with casual practice, or even without cultivating any cultivation method.”

Cui Tiancai only felt that Li Guoyu's words were like sharp knives piercing his heart, raising his head in grief and saying, “Thank you for your comfort!”

......

“So, you didn't see how he killed those two demons, you didn't see it?”

“No, didn't I say, it was just 'swoosh' then 'bang' then 'boom'...”

“Did you oversleep and didn't observe his battle at all?”

“No!!!”

The Chiliarch Yan Zeyu looked at the eye boogers that Liu Jing hadn't wiped away from the corners of her eyes, his lips twitching as he sighed helplessly.

“Forget it, alas.”

Liu Jing was a little guilty, looking around casually, saying, “Hey, anyway, the result has already proven this guy's strength. Being able to kill two Treasure Nectar Realm demons, his strength is definitely not a problem, not some watered-down Treasure Nectar Realm. Being a centurion is definitely not a problem.”

Yan Zeyu shook his head, saying softly, “I'm not planning to let him directly take the position of centurion.”

“Hmm?” Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, subconsciously saying, “That's right, he should adapt for a while longer and familiarize himself.”

Yan Zeyu didn't respond, but stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night, and said faintly, “The Meng family girl also broke through to the Treasure Nectar Realm yesterday.”

“Oh ho, are you going to make them fight?”

Liu Jing had a face full of anticipation, but then, she seemed to have remembered something, and her expression slowly became serious.

“They've both just broken through to the Treasure Nectar Realm, you wouldn't be thinking of...”

Yan Zeyu nodded, saying in a deep voice, “The Jing Yao Marquis' selection is about to begin!”
