However, when Dan Xiuxiu finished speaking and subconsciously looked at Shan Xiuran.

She was surprised to find that the expression on his face had suddenly become stern.

So she asked, confused, "Xiuran, why do you look like that?"

"Alas, I miscalculated."

Shan Xiuran sighed with complicated emotions, "You probably don't know, but the Heavenly Rank Commandant of the Demon Slayer Division—is a position only a Grandmaster can hold.

And the host just said that this Li Hai, who has already been promoted to Heavenly Rank Commandant—is only eighteen years old."

"What?!"

Dan Xiuxiu was instantly stunned, "You mean, this Li Hai is—is an eighteen-year-old Martial Dao Grandmaster?

How, how is that possible?!"

After seeing Shan Xiuran nod silently, she widened her eyes and slowly turned her head, looking distantly towards the stands on the other side, several hundred feet away.

That area was already seated with over a hundred Demon Slayer Commandants, all wearing black double-breasted leather coats.

And in the very center, surrounded by these Demon Slayer Division personnel, sat a tall, burly man with his arms crossed, so strong he looked like a monster.

It was Li Hai himself.

Perhaps feeling Dan Xiuxiu's gaze filled with shock, he slowly raised his head and shifted his eyes to look at her, then suddenly grinned.

"Ah!"

Several hundred feet away, Dan Xiuxiu shivered violently, then quickly pushed and nudged Shan Xiuran beside her:

"Let's go quickly, don't participate in the Tianjiao Ranking, you'll die!"

"Ouch, what are you doing?!"

Shan Xiuran frowned, pushed her hand away, and said angrily, "Why are you acting so crazy?"

"No, no, it's not like that!"

Dan Xiuxiu said, flustered and almost crying, "You know my Divine Ability can predict danger, right? Just now, after that Li Hai looked at me from across the way, I, I, I suddenly had a premonition.

That premonition was super real—you will die, you will die terribly!"

"Alas~"

Shan Xiuran covered his forehead and said speechlessly, "I know your Divine Ability can predict danger, but I also know that your success rate for predicting danger has always only been two or three tenths, and I also know—"

At this point, he looked at the frightened and uneasy Dan Xiuxiu, and said in a stern voice:

"The Division's deficit is already very serious, so I must win the Tianjiao Ranking, otherwise many people will be finished, including you and me."

"Alright—alright."

Dan Xiuxiu calmed down a little, but still stammered uneasily, "Brother, I don't want you to die, that, that secret weapon of yours, are you confident—that it's a guaranteed win?"

"I'm confident, but I won't say 'guaranteed win', it feels a bit unlucky to say something like that."

Shan Xiuran sighed, "Forget it, I'll still tell you a little bit. I'll open a signal frequency, you come in, and we'll talk there."

As he spoke, a large amount of data suddenly flashed across his eyes, and Dan Xiuxiu, who was beside him, also relaxed her expression.

Various data symbols also flickered in her eyes.

Then, just one second later, Dan Xiuxiu visibly relaxed, and even started to laugh:

"Hahaha, it's that weapon! Seriously, you made me so worried."

Shan Xiuran beside her also smiled faintly: "So, you just sit in the stands later and enjoy watching your brother, me, how I abuse that Li Hai."

"Mhm mhm."

Dan Xiuxiu nodded heavily, and then when she looked at Li Hai across the way again, she was no longer so afraid.

She even made a funny face at him from afar and stuck out her pinky finger, deliberately showing a provocative posture.

Interestingly, at this moment, the host in the sky happened to introduce the Divine Armory, mentioning Dan Xiuxiu's brother, Shan Xiuran.

So she immediately raised her hands, cheering and applauding. With her leading, all the personnel in this Divine Armory stand area also began to clap vigorously.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ~

However, this surging applause still failed to infect the people from other departments.

Even He Shengtian of the Eastern Military Region directly curled his lips and scoffed:

"What's there to be arrogant about? Aren't they just a bunch of grave-robbing dirt diggers and stinky blacksmiths? Heh, ridiculous."

Even though it was just a casual remark, his enormous voice echoed like thunder throughout the entire arena, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly.

And facing He Shengtian's direct provocation, all the personnel present from the Divine Armory naturally glared angrily and even cursed, while Shan Xiuran immediately stood up straight, his eyes flashing with cold light and Killing Intent overflowing.

However, He Shengtian only treated them as barking dogs, completely ignoring them.

At this moment, his true attention was already directed towards the Demon Slayer Division's area.

To be precise, he was looking distantly at Li Hai.

"An eighteen-year-old young Grandmaster—truly unbelievable."

He Shengtian's expression was stern, "I wonder from what godforsaken place the Demon Slayer Division dug out such an astonishing Prodigy. This kind of Martial Dao talent—is simply a monster."

"Brother."

At this moment, He Shengyi beside him said with some concern, "You said this Li Hai—will he become an obstacle to your championship?"

"What?" He Shengtian turned his head and looked at him coldly, "You don't have confidence in me?"

"No, no, no."

He Shengyi quickly waved his hand in denial, "I just think this is an eighteen-year-old Void-Reality Grandmaster, which seems to have never appeared in the thousands of years of Yu Continent's history. I suspect he might have some incredible Divine Ability—"

"So what!"

He Shengtian interrupted him, "If he has a Divine Ability, do I not? Hmph, what if his Martial Dao talent is strong? If he hasn't converted his talent into strength, if he hasn't grown up—"

As he spoke, a hint of grimness flashed across his face: "Then he's nothing more than a corpse."

After realizing that his elder brother seemed to be getting angry, He Shengyi beside him dared not say more and quickly shut his mouth, falling silent.

Similar to the inexplicably angry He Shengtian, Zheng Beihong was also filled with complicated emotions and jealousy at this moment, with raging flames of jealousy and anger burning in his chest.

In fact, the moment he heard the mechanical host in the sky introduce Li Hai as the Demon Slayer Division's Heavenly Rank Commandant, and that he was only eighteen years old.

He immediately trembled all over and turned his head to look in the direction of the other party.

And after seeing Li Hai's true form, Zheng Beihong suddenly used a strange secret method to ascertain the other party's Realm and Cultivation—which was the Grandmaster Initial Realm.

He knew that unless the Cultivation level of the person locked onto and surveyed by this secret method had reached the Grandmaster Great Perfection Realm,

otherwise, they would absolutely not be able to conceal their true Realm details.

Therefore, Zheng Beihong, who had absolute faith in this survey result, instantly became furious:

"This is outrageous! To be able to Cultivate so quickly, truly—deserves to be killed! But—heh, so what? He just Cultivates fast.

I, Zheng Beihong, entered the Grandmaster Realm by creating my own Cultivation Technique! What are you, Li Hai? I am the true peerless Genius!"
