82 Demons Every Year, There Are Especially Many This Year

Just as Wang Xiao was surprised, a figure suddenly ran out of the distant forest. It was the boy who was with Xu Junrou outside the secret realm.

“Sorry! Sorry! I’m really sorry!”

Before the boy could approach, he apologized repeatedly. “My soldiers are timid. They will subconsciously attack when they sense a powerful mutated beast. I’m really sorry! I didn’t hurt you, right?”

Wang Xiao looked down. The injuries of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] looked terrifying, but they were actually not serious. It would recover in a few hours after returning to the territory.

Moreover, this person’s attitude was not bad. Wang Xiao did not continue to be unreasonable and nodded. “I’m fine.”

“It’s good that you’re fine! It’s good that you’re fine!”

The boy patted his chest with a relieved expression. As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of Wang Xiao. When he saw Wang Xiao, he was first stunned before suddenly revealing a pleasantly surprised expression. “I know you! You’re Wang Xiao from Kaiyang Academy!”

“This is bad!”

Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. Just now, he was already expecting this person to come and originally wanted to change into He Dazhi’s appearance to deal with him. In the end, he was interrupted by the Flowing Fire and directly forgot all about his disguise!

Fortunately, Wang Xiao was not shameless. He just felt that it was troublesome. Now that he had been recognized, he simply admitted openly, “I’m Wang Xiao. May I know your name?”

“My surname is Yi, and my name is Yi Han!”

Yi Han’s personality was very cheerful. As he spoke, he walked over and grabbed Wang Xiao’s hand. “I really didn’t expect to meet you here. I’m your idol… No! You’re my fan… That’s not right either…”

“Alright, alright! I understand what you mean!”

Wang Xiao was caught between laughter and tears as he waved his hand. “Actually, you really don’t have to do this. When the Crimson Star people invaded, I only did what I should have done.”

“I don’t admire you because of the Crimson Star invasion.”

Yi Han shook his head and looked at Wang Xiao seriously. “You’ve awakened a trash talent like the [Beast Tamer Lord], but you can rely on your own hard work to make a comeback. This is the reason why I admire you!”

“Uh…”

The corners of Wang Xiao’s mouth twitched twice. He really did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I’ll take it that you’re praising me…”

“I’m definitely praising you!”

Yi Han affirmed seriously. Then, he pulled Wang Xiao and walked back. “Come with me quickly! Xiao Rou will definitely be overjoyed to see you!”

“Wait a moment!”

Wang Xiao pulled Yi Han back with all his might and revealed a difficult expression. “I can understand your feelings, but I’m sorry. I have an urgent matter to attend to and have to leave the secret realm. Why don’t we meet outside when you have time?”

“Aiya! It’s fine!”

Yi Han waved his hand and continued to pull Wang Xiao back. “Our base is very close to here. It won’t take long for us to meet!”

This was the first time Wang Xiao had seen such a shameless person. However, the other party’s attitude was very good, so he could not just leave.

Moreover, Wang Xiao did not have anything urgent to do. He simply returned the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] to his territory and nodded helplessly. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Only then did Yi Han let go and take the initiative to walk in front to lead the way. However, there was actually no need for that because there was a very eye-catching dry dirt road in the damp and dark [Mist Rainforest].

As he walked, Wang Xiao suddenly felt that something was wrong.

At first, when he saw this path, he thought that it was the effect of the [Venue Card].

However, the [Venue Card] would usually manufacture a large-scale venue. Moreover, the terrain would definitely change. However, this was just a road that had dried up.

“Could it be the skill of a soldier?”

Thinking of the powerful Flowing Fire just now, Wang Xiao felt that it was very likely. Then, he pretended to ask casually, “By the way, what kind of soldier do you have? It seems to be very powerful?”

“Don’t say that! You have a platinum soldier!”

When Yi Han heard this, he waved his hand repeatedly and smiled in embarrassment. “My soldier is really not worth mentioning. It’s only a peak silver level level three [Lava Ripper].”

“So it’s a Lava Ripper… What?!”

Wang Xiao suddenly reacted halfway. “[Lava Ripper]? You’re the genius from the Yuheng Academy who awakened the [Elemental Overlord]?!”

Long before Wang Xiao awakened, he had heard that someone from the Yuheng Academy had awakened the talent of the [Elemental Overlord]. He did not expect to meet the other party here today!

Although there was only a difference of one word between [Elemental Overlord] and Fang Tianyu’s [Elemental lord], the difference was actually worlds apart!

[Elemental lord] could only control a certain elemental attribute. However, the reason why [Elemental Overlord] was called “overlord” was because it could control all elemental attributes and was unreasonably powerful!

Other than magic, strength, and speed, be it metal, wood, water, fire, earth, or thunder, wind, ice, stone, or poison, theoretically, they could all be controlled by the [Elemental Overlord].

Legend had it that hundreds of years ago, there had been an [Elemental Overlord] on the Blue Planet. When he had just advanced to level seven and become a [High Level Lord], he could fight a legendary lord back and forth without being at a disadvantage at all!

“There are so many monsters this year…”

Wang Xiao could not help but think to himself.

[Elemental Overlord] Yi Han, [Giant Tribe] Tang Hengshan, [Divine Domain] Han Bufan… Even Tian Qiang’s [Magic Net] talent was a top talent that was rarely seen in a hundred years.

All these monstrous geniuses were all gathered in the same batch as Wang Xiao. It was unknown if this was a vague sign…

At the moment.

Hearing Wang Xiao’s praise, Yi Han’s expression changed and he hurriedly waved his hand. “Don’t say that! I was just lucky. I spent a lot of effort to barely advance to level three. How can I be considered a genius?!”

“Barely?”

Wang Xiao revealed a puzzled expression when he heard this. “With your talent, even after the Crimson Star launched an invasion in the lord competition, your ranking should be very good, right? Moreover, didn’t your academy focus on nurturing you?”

“Of course the academy will focus on nurturing me, but we’re not as rich as the Kaiyang Academy. That bit of resources is simply not enough. As for the lord competition…”

At this point, Yi Han sighed and gestured to Wang Xiao. “Our team got sixth place. After the prizes were distributed to everyone, it was simply not enough. It can’t even make up for the resources I consumed when we fought the Crimson Star people.”

“… We’re all in the same boat.”

Wang Xiao nodded in realization. Even as the second runner-up, he had only obtained the City Building Token and 1,500 units of ores. If he had not robbed the others in advance, he would probably have suffered a great loss and would even have to lose the core of the territory!

“We’re here!”

Yi Han, who was walking in front, suddenly clapped and shouted. Wang Xiao returned to his senses and looked ahead. He was instantly shocked speechless.

A mechanical spider lay horizontally in the forest. Its size was so huge that even with a hundred-meter visibility range, it was difficult to see its entire appearance!
