His phone suddenly rang. Zhou Wen glanced at the number and saw that it was Hui Haifeng.
After the call connected, Hui Haifeng's heavy voice sounded. "Zhou Wen, are you watching the cube's challenge?"
"Yes," Zhou Wen answered.
"Don't you find that Ya a little familiar?" Hui Haifeng asked again.
"You also think he looks like Zhong Ziya?" Zhou Wen said directly.
Hui Haifeng fell silent for a moment before saying, "He seems to have Teacher's shadow on him."
Zhou Wen originally thought that he might be overthinking things, but now that Hui Haifeng thought so, it was very likely that Zhong Ziya had chosen an extremely difficult path.
"Maybe we're overthinking things. Maybe that's not Zhong Ziya at all," Zhou Wen said.
Hui Haifeng said with a bitter smile, "The possibility of us admitting our mistakes at the same time is slim. It's better to make plans early. Escaping won't solve the problem."
"What do you have in mind?" Zhou Wen asked. He didn't even know where Zhong Ziya was, nor could he think of a solution.
"Do you still remember the question Teacher asked us back then?" Hui Haifeng asked.
"Yes, there are two paths," Zhou Wen answered.
"I want to try the first one," Hui Haifeng said.
"How?" Zhou Wen asked.
"In the dimensional zones, I discovered quite a number of strange materials, such as common Essence Gold and Essence Crystals. There are also some uncommon materials. I want to give it a try and see if I can research something that can fight dimensional creatures. For thousands of years, humans have used their intelligence to become the masters of Earth. Perhaps this time, we can still rely on our intelligence to win, "Hui Haifeng said.
"This path isn't easy." Zhou Wen knew how difficult this path was. The An family had invested so many resources, but the things they had researched weren't very effective against Mythical creatures.
"Someone has to walk over and see if it's the end of the world," Hui Haifeng said with a smile.
"Then let's walk and see. Perhaps there's really a new world ahead," Zhou Wen said.
"I don't care if there's a new world or not. I just want to retain the past." Hui Haifeng paused before saying to Zhou Wen, "Wen, don't take that path."
Zhou Wen knew which path Hui Haifeng was referring to, but he fell silent. He didn't know if he would take that path.
If the Lost Immortal Sutra didn't work and he had to choose between Guardian and Spirit Casting, Zhou Wen felt that he would very likely choose the path of Spirit Casting, so he couldn't answer Hui Haifeng.
The long silence was finally broken by Hui Haifeng's soft sigh. "Alright, if one day you really walk on that path, I hope that when you want to turn back, you will be able to see me."
Zhou Wen forced a smile and said, "You make it sound like I'm taking a path of no return. I have my own path. If my luck isn't too bad, I probably won't choose that path. Don't worry."
"Come to Sea Return to visit me when you're free. I'll bring you to try some rare seafood."
"Alright, I've been wanting to go out for a walk recently."
The two of them tacitly didn't continue the previous topic and agreed to meet at Sea Return.
Although Sea Return and Sea Gazing City were only one word apart, their locations were very different. Sea Gazing City was in the East Sea, while Sea Return was in the South Sea.
Zhou Wen remembered that Feng Qiuyan came from Sea Return, and the Feng family was rather famous there.
Zhou Wen wondered if he should inform Feng Qiuyan if he wanted to go to Sea Return and see if he wanted to return with him. That way, he could have a guide.
Now was clearly not the time to think about this. Zhou Wen watched the livestream again. Great Skyfiend hadn't accepted the challenge, and the countdown to accepting the challenge was only twenty-four hours.
After waiting for half an hour, he still didn't see Great Skyfiend accept the challenge. Zhou Wen called Feng Qiuyan and told him that he was heading to Sea Return soon. He asked if he wanted to go with him.
"Coach, Sea Return isn't very peaceful now. There are often break-out creatures coming ashore at sea. Many people have moved inland from Sea Return. Why are you going to Sea Return?" Feng Qiuyan asked in surprise.
"I have a senior there. I want to visit him," Zhou Wen said.
"Those who stay in Sea Return now are basically those who have family businesses there. That senior shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?" Feng Qiuyan asked.
"Hui Haifeng." Zhou Wen directly said his name.
"As expected. The Hui family has many mineral veins in Sea Return. They are also the most determined to defend Sea Return." Feng Qiuyan explained the situation in Sea Return to Zhou Wen in detail.
The situation was worse than Zhou Wen had imagined. Apart from some cities guarded by humans, most areas in Sea Return had break-out creatures. It was almost impossible to distinguish the boundaries between dimensional zones and non-dimensional zones.
There were many break-out creatures that came out of the sea, and they were very difficult to deal with. Sea Return had three relatively large families leading the way. Together with more than ten small families, they formed Sea Return City and had been fighting the break-out creatures.
The Hui family and the Feng family were two of the larger families. Feng Qiuyan came from the Feng family of Sea Return.
Feng Qiuyan got Zhou Wen to wait. He had to apply for leave from school before he could accompany Zhou Wen back to the sea.
As the two of them spoke, there was a sudden commotion on the cube. Great Skyfiend accepted the challenge and descended into the cube's arena in the void.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by Great Skyfiend. The scene of Great Skyfiend destroying the Heavy-Armored Titan with one strike still surfaced in many people's minds.
Ya stood in the arena and calmly looked at Great Skyfiend as though he didn't know how terrifying Great Skyfiend was.
Uesugi Nao had been in a bad mood recently. Her progress in Luoyang hadn't been smooth. She had already thought of many solutions, but she was ultimately unable to obtain any information on the Essence Energy weapons from the An family.
Although she had seen An Tianzuo a few times, he didn't talk about work when he was at home.
Back in the An family, An Tianzuo wasn't as domineering as the rumors said. He was no different from an ordinary young man.
Ignoring the lack of progress in the mission, she was continuously challenged. This left her somewhat vexed.
Although Uesugi Nao chose to accept the challenge, she didn't dare let her guard down.
She had already seen the might of Primordial Sword Immortal in the previous tournament. It was an existence even more terrifying than Orochi. Now that someone had entered the rankings with Primordial Sword Immortal, this person was likely like her — someone who had contracted a Guardian.
However, Uesugi Nao didn't look like he had used a Guardian. Typically, when people with Guardians fought, the Guardians should have already fused with humans. They should have Guardian armor on them, but Ya was wearing a Companion Beast armor.
The reason Uesugi Nao accepted the challenge was because she wanted to know Ya's origins.
