68: Chapter 68 Battle against a Qi Refining Realm cultivator

Wang Tao and Su Xue naturally had no idea how many people had gone bankrupt or how many had become overnight millionaires because of their rank-climbing.

In the restaurant, the two of them gathered together with some spirit meals.

"This Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle feels like it has no effect. Except for you, I basically crush all other battles.

Only those iron lumps from the Mechanical Department can cause me some trouble, but even then, it's just a bit more effort."

Hearing Wang Tao's words, Su Xue gave him a sharp roll of her eyes.

"Every day, 6 billion worth of Medicinal Pills, plus several hundred million in various A-grade Spirit Fruits and beast meat. Spiritual Veins are supplying us, and the Martial Arts Hall is being used.

A full thousand sets of Low Grade Magical Artifact equipment—do you know how many divine power points that costs? Our Lord spent such a huge price; if we still couldn't sweep the Anping County Divine Being rankings,

then what face would we have to stay by his side? It's not that we are too powerful, but that Anping County is too small.

Even for those powerful clans, the faith points they can spend on their direct descendants are limited. Meanwhile, we are being cultivated by our Lord according to the standards of a Prodigy."

Wang Tao scratched his head sheepishly, a simple and honest smile appearing on his face.

"Hehe, I know what you mean. That's why I'm planning to go to the Secret Realm in a bit to hone my Believers. I'll try to improve them further before the class placement evaluation."

Within Yan Cang's Divine Kingdom, a piece of land spanning a million kilometers had been specially cut out by him and divided into thousands of different sized areas.

In each area, he had placed varying numbers of Believers, ranging from Tier 2 to Tier 3, and even Spirit Rank Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment ones.

Yan Cang, who was resting, suddenly felt a mysterious fluctuation from within his Divine Kingdom. With a sweep of his Divine Thought, he immediately noticed extra figures in a certain area of the Secret Realm.

Upon discovering they were his master's two Subordinate Deities, his Divine Thought paused. After carefully sensing the equipment on their Believers, his Divine Thought froze for a moment.

Then, before the two could enter the Secret Realm area he had pre-arranged, his Divine Thought manifested into the form of his original body and appeared before them.

Seeing Yan Cang suddenly appear, the two were startled. Once they recovered, they both gave him a bow.

"Greetings, Senior."

Regardless of his status, with his god-level strength, they had to show respect.

At this moment, Yan Cang's monkey face twitched unnaturally. He looked at the two, then at the two thousand Believers behind them, especially their weapons and equipment.

"You... are planning to come to the Secret Realm for training?"

Yan Cang really didn't know what to say, so he could only squeeze out this one sentence.

"Previously, we Juniors have already battled on the virtual platform, but it had no effect on honing our Believers. That's why we came to Senior's Secret Realm to train."

Su Xue curtsied slightly and explained in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Looking at the uniform set of Low Grade Magical Artifact longswords and armor, Yan Cang's heart twitched. He had heard the master say that his and the Subordinate Deities' Believers were only Tier 2.

When setting up the Secret Realm, he had followed Tier 2 standards. But the master didn't say these Believers would have full sets of Low Grade Magical Artifacts!

Wearing such equipment, forget Tier 2 Believers; even his own Tier 3 Believers would likely not gain any advantage if they encountered them.

"I see, it was my oversight before. Wait a moment, I will rearrange the Secret Realm."

As he spoke, Yan Cang began his operations. He tossed aside the Tier 2 and Tier 3 Believers; three thousand Qi Refining Believers were arranged by him throughout the Secret Realm.

They were divided into small squads of one hundred, three hundred, five hundred, and one thousand, from low to high difficulty. Then came the Foundation Establishment Believers.

As the final test, they were composed of one, three, and ten individuals respectively.

He had already finished giving the necessary instructions to his Believers. After completing these layout changes in an instant, he looked at the two with a smile.

"Alright, the Secret Realm has been modified according to your strength. Since it's your first time training, I will follow along.

If any situation arises, I can step in to save your Believers."

"Thank you, Senior."

This Secret Realm had been transformed into a valley. Not far after entering, they saw a hundred Qi Refining Realm demon monkeys patrolling the valley.

The moment they were discovered, the leading demon monkey captain let out a massive roar. Immediately, responding roars came from several valley passages further inside.

The hundred Qi Refining Realm demon monkeys quickly formed a Formation, and fire-attribute Spiritual Qi circulated rapidly through their meridians. As the Qi flowed, the already hot space around them became even more scorching.

At the same time, dozens of fireballs the size of water vats manifested in mid-air. The moment they formed, they smashed toward the two with a whistling sound.

"Let my Believers try first."

Under Su Xue's command, her thousand Believers quickly moved to meet the fireballs. As the Believers circulated their Internal Energy, the Magical Artifacts in their hands glowed with spiritual light.

They slashed toward the fireballs, which were like bread, being cut into huge gaps before silently vanishing behind them.

Seeing this scene, Yan Cang's monkey face twitched again. This Subordinate Deity's Believers were not right; how could Tier 2 Believers have this kind of reaction speed?

Normally, shouldn't they be in a frantic scramble to defend only after the fireballs had already smashed down? And that Internal Energy circulation—how could it be so fast?

Furthermore, that sword strike they just made—although the Low Grade Magical Artifact played a part, they couldn't have achieved that effect if they didn't have sufficiently thick Internal Energy themselves.

In short, these Tier 2 Believers gave Yan Cang a very wrong feeling, as if they were a group of higher-Realm Believers wearing the skin of Tier 2.

After slashing apart the whistling giant fireballs, Su Xue's Believers quickly lunged at the demon monkeys.

Swinging their sword techniques, a strike landed on a demon monkey's body, immediately producing the sound of clashing metal. Subsequently, a bloody mark appeared on the opponent's body.

The struck demon monkey let out a sharp, violent screech, its claws glowing with spiritual light as it lunged for the magical sword.

Seeing this, Believers immediately followed up to assist. Seeing several more sword strikes coming their way, the demon monkey had to give up its attack.

Before long, these demon monkeys were separated by the Believers, with ten Believers surrounding each one. Low Grade Magical Artifacts continuously left bloody gashes on the demon monkeys' bodies.

Whenever a demon monkey went into a frenzy, trying to attack one person regardless of the consequences, the Believers would quickly form a Formation for protection.

The combination of the Formation, Magical Artifact armor, and a Physical Body exceeding Tier 2 standards meant the demon monkey's attacks simply couldn't achieve their intended effect. Seeing a demon monkey about to die at the hands of the Believers,

a flash of light occurred, and that demon monkey instantly vanished from the spot.

Seeing this, the Believers were only slightly stunned for a moment before immediately reinforcing nearby comrades. Subsequently, more and more white lights lit up in succession.

Su Xue saw this and looked at Yan Cang beside her. The Fire Ape acted as if he hadn't noticed, maintaining a look of serious observation, though his monkey face turned a few shades redder.

Soon, of the hundred demon monkeys, fewer than 30 remained. Fortunately, at this time, a large number of demon monkey reinforcements from the valley arrived.

They immediately engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Believers. Without their numerical advantage, the Believers' previously unstoppable Aura was quickly suppressed.

Yan Cang was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he noticed something wasn't quite right. It was clearly already a one-on-one situation.

Why hadn't he seen the opponent's Believers collapse yet?

Looking closer, he discovered that these Tier 2 Believers were actually fighting evenly with his Qi Refining Believers.

In fact, by taking advantage of their Magical Artifacts, they were gradually suppressing his Believers.

This scene caused Yan Cang's eyes to widen significantly. Was this a joke? Tier 2 cross-ranking to defeat Qi Refining? Could it be that these Believers had the combat power of their Demon Royalty?
