43: On the Path of the Gods

Returning to Qinglong Academy, everyone in the academy stared at Su Bai and the other person with wide eyes.

“Kid, you’re truly a beast, aren’t you not even human anymore?”

Dean Gu looked at Su Bai, his face filled with emotion.

“Hey, Dean, you’re already so old, how can you curse people?”

Su Bai rolled his eyes at the Vice Dean and said exasperatedly.

“Look at what you’ve done, is that even a human thing to do?”

“Too violent, too bloody.”

Dean Gu shook his head and turned to walk towards the distant palace.

“Remember my Divine Stones and Divine Crystals, I’m leaving first, you two can go be lovey-dovey.”

Seeing that woman Ye Ling approaching, Su Bai summoned the Nine Nether Cloud Sparrow without hesitation and flew towards his villa.

“Am I that scary?”

Ye Ling looked at Su Bai’s avoiding demeanor, her eyes filled with resentment.

After returning to the villa, Su Bai immediately began to study the set he had acquired.

[Applicable Professions: Beast Master, Mage, Summoner...]

[Level Restriction: LV 90]

[Skill Effect: Additional 10% penetration effect]

[Set Effect: Triggers Holy Light, blocking one fatal damage.]

.......

“I’m going further and further down the path of self-preservation!”

Su Bai muttered to himself as he looked at the skill effects of the set.

For Su Bai, equipment was not important; the most important thing was the class-change skills.

[Skill: Divine Decree]

[Skill Introduction: This skill is an active skill. It can advance your beast for free by issuing a decree, without consuming any resources.]

(Note: Only for beasts below the Beast Master Class, can be advanced after class change.)

“This skill seems a bit strange.”

Su Bai stroked his chin and said seriously.

However, he didn't seem to need this skill at the moment; his own beasts were at least of the Ancestral Return Class.

[Skill: Master of All Things]

[Skill Introduction: This skill is a passive skill. You will become the Master of All Things, and any beast facing you will have their favorability increased to 100%.]

“This seems somewhat useful, but actually it’s useless.”

A black line appeared on Su Bai’s forehead, and his expression was a bit unpleasant.

These skills all seemed to be supportive skills, and currently, they didn't seem to have much use!

[Skill: Divine Might]

[Skill Introduction: This skill is a passive skill. You have successfully embarked on the path to godhood and have gradually mastered the majesty belonging to a deity. Any living being facing you will feel divine pressure, and their overall attributes will be weakened by 10%.]

“Finally, a proper skill has arrived. If it hadn’t, I would have gone crazy.”

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the last skill.

If it had been another supportive skill, his mindset would have directly exploded.

However, the skill description said that he had already embarked on the path to godhood, so it should be closely related to these two supportive skills!

Besides these rewards, the most important thing was that he could level up.

Also, there were the rewards from the Pride Tower; he could exchange any Divine Stones and Divine Crystals from the treasure vault.

If this continued, it wouldn't be long before he could raise the grade of his beasts again.

At that time, with five Divine-level Beasts leading the way, who would dare to challenge him?

Su Bai directly opened the Pride Tower's exchange vault and exchanged for a total of 100 nether god stones plus three Divine Crystals.

“Hiss, I really am a pauper!”

Su Bai gasped as he looked at the items in his backpack.

He estimated that he still needed at least 400 Divine Stones, and while the number of Divine Crystals was sufficient, there were still other special materials.

Thinking of this, Su Bai suddenly felt a headache.

“Little brat, are you home?”

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Su Bai’s thoughts.

“Old Man Sun Shan, you’ve finally returned,”

“Did you bring any good news!”

Su Bai was overjoyed when he heard the familiar voice outside the door.

He quickly opened the door and respectfully welcomed the Old Man into the room.

“You little brat, you’re truly a mercenary.”

“When I do things for you, you’re respectful to me, but if I don’t do things for you, you’d probably throw me outside the wall!”

Dean Sun’s forehead showed a black line as he watched Su Bai’s fawning expression.

This little brat was truly realistic!

“Old Man, how could I be like that? I’m not that kind of person.”

Su Bai scratched his head and quickly said.

“But you, kid, are really ruthless. Did you wipe out the Yang family?”

“I was only gone for a week, and you directly annihilated the Yang family?”

The Old Man sized up Su Bai, looking at him meaningfully.

When he first heard the news, his little heart almost jumped out of his chest in fright.

This little rascal was too good at causing trouble!

“Mainly, they were looking for trouble with me. These people only allow officials to set fires, but not the common people to light lamps.”

“My hot temper, of course, couldn’t stand it, so I taught them a harsh lesson, and my hand was a bit heavy.”

Su Bai rubbed his hands, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

“Don’t worry, I’m not here to settle scores with you.”

“But I must warn you, the Old guy of the Yang family is about to return. If you don’t want anything to happen, it’s best to stay in the academy.”

“With me here, he can’t break in.”

“But if you meet that Old guy outside, then I can’t help you.”

Seeing Su Bai’s reserved expression, Sun Shan couldn’t help but smile.

“I don’t mind that. If he dares to come, I’ll dare to die for him—no, I’ll dare to make him die.”

Su Bai looked at Sun Shan with full confidence, not caring about that guardian at all.

“Alright, this time I went out, I only got you two bottles of nine serenity spring water. I really couldn’t find anything else.”

“I even sold my old face and shamelessly snatched them from someone else’s hands, so use them sparingly.”

Old Man Sun Shan took out two bottles of nine serenity spring water, placed them on the table, and said softly.

“Old Man, I truly thank you, I thank your ancestors for eight generations. In the future, if there’s anything you need from me, just say the word.”

“Don’t even mention Divine-level Bosses; even if a god comes, I’ll help you scatter their ashes.”

Su Bai immediately put away the two bottles of nine serenity spring water, his face full of excitement.

“Get out of here, stop causing me trouble. It’s best if you let this Old Man live a few more years.”

“I won’t interfere with your matters. Anyway, I’ve already warned you. You decide what you want to do, but don’t forget what you promised me.”

The Old Man left these words, turned around, and departed from the villa without lingering.
