Chapter 862 - The Tortoise Academy (1/2)

“Thank you for saving me.” The woman said to Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong asked curiously, “You are a warrior at the Apotheosis Realm. Why didn’t you directly kill the fourth-level demonic beast?”

“You think I never thought about it? But it looks so scary. I was petrified the moment I saw it!”

Then the girl patted her plump chest and tried to calm down.

Qin Haodong was rendered speechless, “Then how did you reach the Apotheosis Realm? You’re kind of a master now. Why are you so afraid of a little monster?”

The woman said with embarrassment, “I just followed my master’s instructions. But I’m still afraid of that thing.”

Qin Haodong shook his head. This girl was just like the students who had high marks but were incompetent. They were good at taking the examination but when they got out on their own, they were lost because they were either not competent or inexperienced.

But she could obviously tell him something about this world, so he would not let her go now.

“Miss, where are you going? I can go with you!”

“That’s great! There are too many beasts on this mountain. I’m really scared!”

The girl agreed without hesitation.

Qin Haodong pulled her onto the back of the Three-legged Golden Toad, and then they flew to the west according to the girl’s instruction.

A fifth-level beast was almost the ruler in this forest, so they didn’t come across any other demonic beasts along the way.

The woman let go of Qin Haodong’s arm and said, “I’m Zhao Xingyue. Thank you for your help. Can you tell me your name?”

“I’m Qin Haodong!”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Your clothes are so strange. I have never seen anyone wearing such clothes.”

“My master made the clothes for me. I lived in the mountains with my master since I was a child, so I have never seen the outside world, and I don’t know anything about the kind of clothes you are wearing.”

“But my master passed away a few days ago and asked me to come out to gain some experience. I didn’t expect to see such a beautiful girl here.”

Qin Haodong made up a story to cover up his real identity.

Zhao Xingyue believed what he said and took out a set of man’s clothes from her Storage Ring, “I was going to dress up as a man. But it seems that you need it more than I do!”

She stuffed the clothes into Qin Haodong’s hands and then turned around.

Qin Haodong didn’t want to look like a stranger in this world, so he immediately put on the robes. He had lived in the Cultivation World for 500 years, so it was not difficult for him to wear this kind of clothes.

Then he said, “Where is this place?”

“It seems that you know nothing,” Zhao Xingyue said, “This is the Lingwu Continent, and now we are in Tortoise Country.”

“Lingwu Continent? My master once mentioned that this is the Alien Demon Space and there were many Alien Demons. He told me to be careful. But where are they?” Qin Haodong asked.

“The Alien Demon Space? Are you sure?”

Zhao Xingyue was no longer nervous now. She giggled after hearing Qin Haodong’s questions. She was a beautiful girl and the smile made her even more charming.

“I really don’t know how many years you and your master have stayed in the mountains. The Alien Demons had been wiped out thousands of years ago. Now human beings are the rulers of this land.”

Qin Haodong’s guess was confirmed by Zhao Xingyue. He then asked, “What’s going on? Can you tell me more details?”

“Well, anyway, we still have some time to travel. I’ll tell you…”

Zhao Xingyue then gave him an overview of the Lingwu Continent. It turned out that it was called the Yin-yang Continent before. Half of it was full of Spiritual Qi, which was occupied by human beings and the other half was full of Devil Qi, which was the Alien Demons’ land.

Humans could not survive in the land full of Devil Qi while the Alien Demons were not able to adapt to the Spiritual Qi, so they had been living together peacefully for years.

But five thousand years ago, the Yin-yang Continent suddenly changed. The Spiritual Qi was richer while and the Devil Qi became scarcer. So the places where the Alien Demons could live became smaller.

A thousand years ago, four Spiritual Springs suddenly appeared on this continent. The Spiritual Qi was unprecedentedly abundant while the Devil Qi almost disappeared totally. The Alien Demons had no space to live and were finally wiped out by human beings.

Since then, the Yin-yang Continent was renamed the Lingwu Continent and human beings on this land were locked in a tangled fight. In the end, people were divided into four countries based on the location of the four Spiritual Springs, which were the Dragon, the Tiger, the Rosefinch, and the Tortoise.

Where they were once ruled by the Alien Demons, it was now the Tortoise Country of the Lingwu Continent.

Qin Haodong nodded. It seemed that 5,000 years ago, the experts of the Alien Demons broke through the space barriers and came to the earth because their survival space was getting smaller.

But the space loophole was then sealed by Yellow Emperor and other ancient powerful masters. All the Alien Demons who were left here died.

Zhao Xingyue was a timid girl, but she was quite knowledgeable and answered all Qin Haodong’s questions.

Finally, Qin Haodong asked, “My master has passed away, and I want to find a place to practice. Is there any good way to improve my cultivation quickly?”

“The best way to improve your cultivation is, of course, to go to the college,” Zhao Xingcheng said excitedly. “There are four major colleges in the Lingwu Continent, and the Tortoise Academy is not far away.

“Today is the last day of enrollment. I’m going there to register and study. Why don’t you come with me?”
