My Master Knows It All

These individuals are all Heavenly Prides of the Human Clan.

It makes sense. To walk alongside Cao Zhen, how could they be ordinary humans?

This time is truly troublesome. Just dealing with Cao Zhen alone is headache-inducing, and now these top-tier humans have joined them.

”Four Prison clan members?”

Yan Yourong glanced at the opposite side, suddenly turning her head to her master and said, ”Master, please don’t take action; let us kill them. After all, if you always act on our behalf, we won’t get any training.”

”Very well.” Cao Zhen nodded slightly.

As soon as his words fell, one by one, the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect started making their moves.

In an instant, immortal energy surged everywhere. Yan Yourong, Duo Duo, and Ruo Yun charged directly toward the opposite side; the three of them were adept at using various weapons in combat.

As everyone took action, moments later, the ground in the center began to surge, and with a massive burst of soil, a gigantic figure crawled out from underneath.

This monster looked like an enormous lizard, measuring ten zhang in length. Its body was dark green, with two rows of striking bone spurs on its spine, while its tail split into nine branches, each ending in a bloodthirsty mouth.

After appearing, the monster opened its mouth and roared toward the crowd, its nine tails flying out, aiming to bite them.

In an instant, a dense, foul stench emanated from within, spreading rapidly around.

This monster contained toxins within its body, and it was evident that its power was significantly stronger than the monsters they had encountered before.

Cao Zhen merely glanced at the monster but did not take action. Since his disciples wanted to train, this too was part of the training, and with Ruo Yun there, it would be fine.

He was now pondering a question. Although they were on an island, there was a strong possibility that upon entering the next island, they might not necessarily end up on the same island.

If they were to enter the next island at the same time as other members of the Alien Race, or find that an island already had more than four but less than ten members of the Alien Race, then they might again be separated.

Ling Xi is in even graver danger.

They were six people, but Ling Xi had ten, increasing the probability of Ling Xi’s group being scattered further. What if Ling Xi becomes the one forced to separate?

Cao Zhen was worried, but he had already connected with Ling Xi once. He couldn’t connect again today in a way that would bring Ling Xi together with them.

Although he hadn’t taken action, his disciples, though not the strongest in the Immortality Regainment Realm, were top-tier within the same cultivation realm, and with Ruo Yun there.

The four Prison clan members on the opposite side were killed one by one, and finally, they united efforts to defeat the monster before them.

Cao Zhen watched the group, immersed in deep thought. After a while, he suddenly spoke: ”Let’s hold off on entering the light curtain. I think we were too simplistic in our earlier considerations.

Or perhaps we were just lucky before. The light curtain – while we can time it to meet up, if too many cultivators enter at once, we could end up scattered.”

He paused visibly at this point, noting that the Humans were indeed targeted, and fearing many Human cultivators had already perished in the relic.

But there was no alternative; they had chosen to enter here, to enter the relic for adventure. How could casualties not happen? Now, the only thing he could do was try his best to protect his disciples and those close to him.

As for other humans, he hadn’t connected with them, and even if he had, it wasn’t possible to move all Humans to this island.

After pausing, he continued: ”As more members of various races die, the number of survivors from each race reduces, and fewer people will pass through the light curtain together into the next island.

Thus, the chance of encountering members of different races upon entering the next island decreases, making it more likely for us to end up on the same island.

So, for now, we don’t need to rush into the next island; we can continue waiting.”

Everyone listened to Cao Zhen’s words and nodded in agreement.

Duo Duo pondered briefly and softly said, ”But Master, we don’t know if staying on the island might pose issues, like the possibility of the light curtain disappearing.”

”You’re right; the light curtain might indeed disappear. But based on previous observations, the light curtain won’t vanish immediately after a battle ends. And one more thing, it’s just my guess, but if battles continue on the island, the light curtain might persist.

Therefore...”

Cao Zhen looked at his disciples and said quietly, ”You can try sparring. We know it’s sparring, but perhaps the rules here can’t discern it.
