249: Eighth-tier extreme realm!

"Everything under his command?"

Inside a tent, Instructor Pan spoke with a strange expression.

"Yes... Understood, I will cooperate with him."

After ending the call, Instructor Pan's face turned a bit sour; he hadn't expected the higher-ups to hold Fang Bai in such high regard.

After a long while, he sighed, left with no choice but to obey the order... "Giggle, Chief Instructor Fang, may I come in?"

Outside Fang Bai's private tent, a sexy and charming voice rang out; it was Song Jiaojiao.

However, after waiting for a long time without a response, a look of surprise appeared on Song Jiaojiao's face. She then made a bold decision and pushed open the tent flap to walk inside.

Much to her disappointment, Fang Bai was not in the tent.

Elsewhere, a wisp of white smoke curled upwards as several young people gathered around a campfire, roasting fresh meat.

These people were Fang Bai and his three companions.

At this moment, Qi Tian leaned in close to Fang Bai, sizing him up seriously as if he were studying an unknown creature.

"How damn long are you going to keep staring?"

Fang Bai spoke helplessly, "Haven't you ever seen a genius like me before?"

Qi Tian shook his head solemnly, "This is the first time I've seen a freak like you. You must be the only one in the entire Dragon Country, right?"

Fang Bai's mouth twitched.

Was that a damn insult or a compliment?

"Old Bai, tell it like it is. How exactly do you cultivate?"

Qi Tian asked dejectedly, "We all started at the same point, so how did you get so far ahead of us?"

Fang Bai said smugly, "There's just a gap between individuals."

Pausing, he added, "Didn't I mention my cultivation method before?"

"You mean getting stronger by killing Demon Beasts?"

Su Su chimed in then.

She remembered Fang Bai telling her about this before.

Fang Bai nodded and said, "That's right. As long as I kill Demon Beasts, I can devour their blood and qi, and subsequently grow stronger."

Qi Tian said in disbelief, "So you've just been grinding mobs in the Demon Realm for the past few months?"

Fang Bai nodded, "You could say that."

"Weren't you discovered by any of the powerful figures of the Demon Race?"

Fang Bai replied, "So what if I was? They couldn't take me down anyway. It's just a Demon Lord; it's not like I haven't killed one personally."

Qi Tian's mouth twitched, and he quickly waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that during a gathering of brothers; it's bad for morale."

Killing a Demon Lord?

Dammit! This show-off is just too demoralizing!

Forget a Demon Lord, they couldn't even handle a Demon King!

Fang Bai glanced at Qi Tian and Xiao Yuan and said, "The cultivation of you two is still too low. Try to get into the Guardian Alliance next and increase your strength as soon as possible."

Qi Tian frowned, "Is something happening?"

Fang Bai said solemnly, "The current global situation isn't looking good. I have a premonition that the start of a great war isn't far off!"

Qi Tian's expression darkened.

Fang Bai said slowly, "I'll do my best to give you a hand and ensure you receive the best resource allocation."

Qi Tian patted his shoulder with a moved expression and said gratifiedly, "As expected of my brother, the one who got rich first is helping the rest of us catch up."

Xiao Yuan chuckled; he wasn't good with words and could only keep smiling the whole time.

Su Su looked at Fang Bai, her gaze filled with undisguised admiration.

She had been very optimistic about Fang Bai from the start, and she hadn't expected him to truly live up to expectations and reach this point. At the same time, a fighting spirit ignited in her heart!

She couldn't fall too far behind!

The aroma of roasting meat permeated the entire camp area, attracting the attention of many.

"They actually know each other."

Several young people in the distance were also gathered together.

Murong Hen of the Murong Family, Fu Lei of the Fu Family, Pei Song of the Pei Family, and Gu Linger of the Gu Family.

"So what if they know each other? We don't have any conflict with them. There are so many slots in the Guardian Alliance; as long as we don't clash with them, it's fine."

Fu Lei said indifferently.

"That makes sense. With our talent and strength, the probability of us successfully entering the Guardian Alliance is nearly one hundred percent."

Pei Song appeared very relaxed and possessed absolute confidence.

"Hehe, but it's truly unbelievable that Chief Instructor Fang possesses such strength now, especially since he's even younger than us."

Gu Linger smiled meaningfully.

Murong Hen said slowly, "There are many geniuses in this world. Just like Su Yunsheng of the Su Family—isn't he hailed as the youngest Ninth Rank?"

Fu Lei raised an eyebrow, "Do you think this Chief Instructor Fang might be the next Ninth Rank?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a flash of contemplation crossed everyone's faces.

The next Ninth Rank!

The Ninth Rank is not something anyone can achieve. You have to understand that while there are many martial artists in this world and even quite a few in the Eighth Rank, how many Ninth Ranks have actually emerged since the spiritual qi recovery began?

Not even one in ten thousand!

Some geniuses who consider themselves prodigies break through the Eighth Rank boundary early on, yet remain unable to take another step forward for decades! In the end, they can only wait for their lifespan to run out and enter the Demon Realm alone to perish together with the Demon Race... "Not necessarily. The Ninth Rank isn't that easy..."

Murong Hen's eyes narrowed as he stared at Fang Bai not far away.

Fang Bai's expression shifted, and he turned his head to look.

Murong Hen's pupils constricted; that one glance from Fang Bai made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

What a terrifying gaze!

Just a single look gave him the feeling of facing a great horror.

"What's wrong, Old Bai?"

Qi Tian's confused voice rang out.

Fang Bai withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "Nothing, just a little bug."

Su Su seemed to realize something and said, "His name is Murong Hen, the crown prince of the Murong Family. The Murong Family has a Ninth Rank ancestor presiding over it and two Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm experts."

"Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm?"

This was the first time Fang Bai had heard this term.

Su Su nodded, "Yes. The Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm is a stage that has transcended the scope of an ordinary Eighth Rank and is closer to the Ninth Rank. They are stronger than the Eighth Rank but still some distance away from the Ninth Rank."

"Murong Hai of the Murong Family is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Dragon King Hall. He is an Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm expert and recently advanced. Before this, he was a Space Element expert hailed as The foremost person below the Ninth Rank, and now his strength is even greater."

Fang Bai had heard of this person. An Eighth Rank Space Element user; if he broke through to the Ninth Rank, he would be the second Space Element Ninth Rank in the world!

However, after seeing Old Man Wan thrash the Space Demon God, Fang Bai felt that the Space Element was just so-so. But he also knew it was because Old Man Wan's strength was too great; otherwise, let alone the Space Demon God, even the Eighth Rank Murong Hai wouldn't be someone he could deal with.

Eighth-Rank Extreme Realm!

Fang Bai felt that with his current strength, he was not yet a match; he would at least have to wait until he broke through to the Eighth Order Late Stage to have a chance.

He had to continue getting stronger!

There were still many people who posed a threat to Fang Bai.

Especially these Noble Families; he felt that he would eventually have a battle with them.

"The Murong, Fu, and Gu Families all have Ninth Rank ancestors presiding over them. There's also the Pei Family, but the Pei Family Ancestor announced he was going into seclusion to heal his injuries after the last battle with the Demon God. No other families have Ninth Ranks."

Fang Bai nodded. As expected of someone from a Great Clan—only a Great Clan would understand other Noble Families so well!

However, Fang Bai would not overlook the Su Family,

The only super family with two Ninth Ranks in one clan!
