Chapter 44 Understanding Monarch-Level Demons
Qingtian Hunting Grounds.
Lingling has to go to school today. The eldest sister and the other senior brothers haven't returned yet; only Old Man Bao is minding the shop.
"You've really become famous this time. Your code name has become a sensation in the hunter world!" Old Man Bao teased.
"Ahem." With a tactical cough, Gojo Satoru shrugged and said, "Zhu Meng and the others told me to hold back my strength so that other national teams wouldn't figure me out."
Although he personally felt it was unnecessary, and the title of the strongest in the contemporary era was by no means an exaggeration, so many people thought it was necessary.
In the end, he could only use his identity as a hunter as a shield, since the title of Qingtian Hunter was still very useful.
"That's what your senior sister said too." Old Bao took a puff of his pipe, then suddenly asked, "Now, what do you think of the power of a monarch-level demon?"
"I don't know about the others, but the Silver Sky Lord and the Totem Serpent are both terrifyingly powerful!" Gojo Satoru pondered for a moment and then came to his conclusion.
Based on his deduction, both the Silver Sky Lord and the Totem Serpent are probably the top beings in the monarch-level pyramid. The former is slightly weaker, but it has tens of thousands of White Demon Eagle legions.
"You're right. Both of them that appeared in Hangzhou this time are top-tier monarchs. The Silver Sky Lord is a Great Monarch, while the Totem Black Serpent has already reached the Supreme Monarch level!" Old Man Bao explained to Wu Tiao Wu in a casual manner.
After all, he is still young, so it is acceptable for him to be defeated by such a top monarch on his first attempt. As a senior, he can take this opportunity to demonstrate his knowledge.
"Even monarchical creatures are divided into different classes?" Gojo Satoru asked in confusion.
He had always thought that all the monarchs in the world were so powerful and terrifying.
"Of course, if all monarchs possessed the power of a Silver Dome Lord, humanity would have ceased to exist long ago," Old Man Bao said with a smile.
"That was my humble opinion." Gojo Satoru thought about it and realized it was indeed impossible. If demons were really that powerful, then what would be left for humans?
Moreover, through the Six Eyes, he had previously sensed the cultivation levels of Zhu Meng and the other five. Their auras were not outstanding among those at the super-rank level, far from being as unfathomable as those of Old Man Bao and Dean Xiao.
Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "By the way, old man Bao, what's your cultivation level?"
"Guess," Old Man Bao said with a smile, looking just like an ordinary person.
Even with all six of his eyes fully activated, Gojo Satoru couldn't discern the extent of the attack. He could only mutter under his breath, "It doesn't seem like a super-ranked spell. Could it be a forbidden curse?"
"Don't be so curious. What you need to know, you will know in time." Old Bao smiled mysteriously, then waved his hand, and three boxes appeared out of thin air on the table.
The appearance of these three boxes immediately caught Gojo Satoru's attention.
"What are these?" he asked.
Although I had a guess in my mind, it was just a guess and might not be true.
"What you wanted, your senior sister asked me to give to you." Old Bao smiled, opened the box, and pushed it in front of Gojo Satoru.
The first box revealed an object about the size of a pebble, shaped like a diamond, but even more crystal clear.
It is the pulse of the Milky Way!
The commission that Senior Sister posted before, the commission fee that Gojo Satoru asked for later was this.
The effect of the Star River Vein is similar to that of the Life Crystal used to break through to a higher level of the Healing system, except that the former has a more concentrated energy and is not restricted by magic.
Suddenly remembering something, Gojo Satoru reached out to touch it, mentally sensing whether the vast energy inside was superficial.
No, not at all.
Gojo Satoru put away the Star River Pulse, then looked at the second item next to him, which revealed a small bottle of emerald-colored liquid.
Even with the jade bottle sealed, he could still sense the immense vitality contained within the jade-colored liquid, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.
"What's in the bottle?" Gojo Satoru turned to look at Old Man Bao, his eyes full of curiosity.
"The Water of Life is also the sap of a monarch-level Heavenly Spirit Ancient Tree, which can be used to heal wounds and cleanse the marrow and refine bones," Old Man Bao explained.
"As expected of a high-ranking and powerful Supreme Mage, so magnanimous." Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru's eyes lit up, and he put the item away in his storage magic artifact.
Looking at the last item, this time there were two translucent silver stones, adorned with patterns.
"A senshi with impurities, huh?" Gojo Satoru muttered to himself.
He recognized this item; he had learned about it when researching resources.
It is a special celestial stone that can greatly enhance a magician's mental power, significantly boosting their mental, curse, spatial, and chaotic magic.
The rarity of these celestial stones is distinguished by the patterns on their surface. Those without impurities are worth at least a billion, while those with impurities may be worth several hundred million or even less.
However, it can also be used to improve one's spiritual level. Gojo Satoru has been tempering himself in the fifth realm for so long and is only in the middle stage. With these two spirit stones, he should be able to reach the later stage or even the perfect stage.
Speaking of which, what about demon-slaying tools?
Thinking of this, Gojo Satoru looked at Old Man Bao and asked again, "Did Senior Sister mention anything about the Demon-Slaying Tools?"
When the eldest sister returned, he had just gone out to accept a commission.
"No, but you can probably guess. Magic tools aren't easy to come by in a short time," Old Bao said without looking up from his newspaper.
"That's true, then I'll be going now." Gojo Satoru nodded.
…………
Back at Mingzhu Academy, Gojo Satoru was about to report to his department when he heard some shocking news about the main campus.
A transfer student said that Wei Rong, the head of the Fire Department, was like a gorilla, and also mocked Wei Rong's poor teaching quality. He is currently fighting against two hundred students from the Fire Department!
Upon hearing this news, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but smile.
If I'm not mistaken, the student who transferred to this department is Mo Fan. Only someone as arrogant as him could be!
To others, offending all the students in the academy is tantamount to courting death, since the struggles on the main campus are far more intense than those on the Qing campus.
The rules for the main campus are very simple.
As long as you don't break through to the high-level mage, you can continue your studies in the department, which means that there are all kinds of people on the main campus below the high-level!
But for Mo Fan, it was just offending a bunch of small fry, what was the big deal?
It would be surprising if Mo Fan, who possessed four elements, were taken down by a mere hundred or so weaklings.
It was precisely because of his understanding of Mo Fan that he was smiling so happily.
Originally, Gojo Satoru had planned to go to the Healing Department since it had been a long time since he had reported there, but now he figured the teachers there were helping out in the Fire Department, so there was no need to go.
So Gojo Satoru turned around and prepared to head to the Three Steps Tower to absorb resources.
For Gojo Satoru, the Three-Step Tower is now like his own private property; Dean Xiao will give him special treatment whenever he wants to go.
I have only one request: to shine at the upcoming World University Competition and, incidentally, promote Pearl University!
