Chapter 894 - celestial Qi"Yuan, you never told us that demons could just explode like that!" Shi Lang exclaimed afterward. "Sorry, they rarely do that even in desperate situations so I forgot about it." Yuan said with an apologetic smile. "What the demon just did is called a 'Core Detonation'. It's basically a suicide move that is very hard to stop and has the effects of a bomb. I didn't think it would kill itself so quickly, so I wasn't prepared for it. What a pity it only lasted for two days." "With that being said, Liya, can you bring us the next demon?" Yuan turned to face her. "Absolutely not! You almost blew up the entire mountain!" She immediately refused. "That's an exaggeration. With that demon's strength, it would've blown away our house at most." Yuan said. "Ridiculous! Why are you even training them?! What do you hope to achieve with just a few days of training?! There are only 10 demons left, and I doubt they are capable of fighting all 10 demons! Even if they can fight all 10 demons, it won't make any real difference! If it was so easy to train a demon sealer, there would be many more demon sealers in this world!" After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke, "Yes, you're right. Out of the remaining 10 demons, they would only be able to fight two of them with the rest being way beyond their capabilities." "However, you shouldn't underestimate my friends nor my training methods. Even a day's worth of training will benefit them enormously. In fact, it could even be a difference of life and death." "I don't get it… Just where are you getting your confidence from?" The Manager sighed, feeling as though she was talking to a wall. Of course, there was no way that the Manager could have known that in one of Yuan's past lives, he was the Divine Paragon, creator of the demon sealing techniques and the founder of the Demon Sealing Clan, where he trained tens of thousands of demon sealers. "Trust me, this will only last for 2 more demons. After that, I will swiftly take care of the rest. I promise." The Manager rubbed her temples for a good moment before speaking, "Fine. Two more demons. If you don't stop messing around with the demons after that, I will kill you. I promise." "Thank you, Liya." Yuan smiled. "Don't call… Forget it…" Yuan then turned to look at the others and proceeded to lecture them about their mistakes. "How do you feel, Wang Ming?" Yuan asked him afterward. "I'm still a little shaken… If you hadn't stopped the demon, I would've been dead now." He sighed. "I'm truly pathetic." "Don't think like that. You're doing very well for a new demon sealer. In fact, most demon sealers won't be able to face a real demon without months of intense training. The fact that you could fight it without running away on your first day is very impressive." "This goes for all of you. I'm actually very surprised that none of you ran away. Of course, I wouldn't have blamed any of you even if you did run away." 'After all, I was frozen from fear when I first encountered a demon…' He sighed inwardly. "Anyways, let's take a break. We'll start our next training session in two days." Sometime later, the Manager returned to the Lord to explain the situation to him. "I see… So that's the real cause of the tremor just now. I thought it was another earthquake caused by the sealed demons. He's using the demons as a practice tool for the others… I must say, this is beyond my expectations. It's so bold that it's almost crazy." The Lord sighed. "Should I stop him?" "And how are you going to do that? You might have been able to defeat him when he first arrived at the mountain, but you won't stand a chance against him now." "What? You think he's stronger than me? Is it because he can kill demons and I cannot? If I could use demon sealing techniques, I would also be able to kill them!" The Manager exclaimed. "No, his strength far exceeds his ability to kill demons. Although very faintly, I could sense Celestial Qi from his body during his last visit." "What?! Celestial Qi?! Impossible! He was born in this world! There's no way he could have Celestial Qi!" The Manager shouted in a voice of disbelief. "It's true. I couldn't sense it from him before, but I sensed it very clearly during his last visit. He must have awakened his Celestial Qi somehow. Do you have any idea?" The Manager pondered for a good moment before shaking her head, "The only thing I can think of is the incident that happened to him at the Qi Family, but it's highly unlikely. It was after our visit to the Qi Family that he started acting… differently." "So something happened to him after he returned, huh? What could've happened in such a short time? I cannot even imagine." Sometime later, the Lord spoke, "Anyways, continue monitoring him. We need to be certain that we can trust him." "Okay…" The Manager nodded. "What's wrong? You seem worried about something." The Lord suddenly asked. "Actually… I might be overthinking this, but I have this feeling that he somehow knows of our secret." She sighed. "What? How is that possible? Did you do something that could've revealed it?" "No! I didn't say or do anything—" The Manager suddenly stopped talking and held a dazed look on her face. "I-I told him that I couldn't learn demon sealing techniques out of frustration… That's also around the time when I started having this feeling. T-There's no way he could've realized the truth just from that alone… right?" The Manager said in a worried voice. "It's possible." "I-I'm sorry…" The Manager sighed. "What's done is already done. And we don't really know if he realized our secret or not. Just continue to monitor him, but don't try to probe his knowledge. You might end up telling him the truth, which would be quite comical if he doesn't actually know anything." The Lord said. "Okay." The Manager nodded.
