"Now, are you suspecting this lady is also a spy sent by foreign powers?" Zhou Hong pointed at Shen Yanran and asked.
"This...!" The Wolf Lord of the War Wolf Organization seemed dumbfounded.
"Who exactly are you people?"
"Don't ask, just know we're awesome."
"You...!" The Wolf Lord was speechless.
"Now it's my turn to ask you. You said earlier you're one of the Wolf Lords of the War Wolf Organization. What does a Wolf Lord do? Are you in charge of catching wolves within the organization?" Zhou Hong asked with some curiosity.
The Wolf Lord couldn't help but roll his eyes. He made such a prestigious organization sound so demeaning.
"By the way, is the War Wolf Organization powerful?" Zhou Hong asked again.
"Hmph, the War Wolf Organization was founded by a powerful expert named Leng Feng. You must have heard of Leng Feng's great name, right?"
"Sorry, I haven't," Zhou Hong shook his head.
"You haven't even heard of Leng Feng? I really suspect you're a foreigner," the Wolf Lord grumbled.
"Why should I have heard of him? Is he very famous?"
"He is one of the peerless experts in our Huaxia Empire who has received Imperial Merit. He is one of the most loyal protectors of the Empire."
"Oh, oh, why don't you just tell me his martial cultivation realm?" Zhou Hong quickly said.
"I'm sorry, I don't know Senior Leng Feng's strength either. He's usually elusive, how could someone at my level know the details?"
"Then what level are you at in the War Wolf Organization?" Zhou Hong asked again.
"I am one of the thirty-six Wolf Lords of the War Wolf Organization, and I am currently at Martial Master level eighty-five."
Zhou Hong was slightly surprised. He thought this guy was similar to the so-called Venerables he had killed last time, but he didn't expect him to be even stronger.
"Also, among the thirty-six Wolf Lords, I am ranked after thirtieth. This means that thirty Wolf Lords are stronger than me, and twenty of them have reached the Martial King realm," the Wolf Lord said, looking at Zhou Hong as if expecting to see a shocked expression on his face. However, Zhou Hong showed no shock at all.
The next realm after Martial Master is Martial King.
The Wolf Lord continued, "Our War Wolf Organization's founder, Leng Feng, is even stronger, having at least entered the realm beyond Martial King, which is Martial Emperor."
"Oh, oh!" Zhou Hong nodded indifferently, wondering in his heart if his strength was even greater than Martial Emperor, or if it was merely equivalent to Martial King.
However, Zhou Hong didn't dwell on it. Even if his current strength was only equivalent to a Martial King, it wouldn't matter, because Zhou Hong could easily double his strength by cultivating more profound combat techniques whenever he had the time. His current strength was only what he had gained in two hours on the afternoon he transmigrated; since then, Zhou Hong had been slacking off and had hardly cultivated any combat techniques.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave," Zhou Hong waved his hand.
The Wolf Lord wanted to say something more but ultimately didn't. He turned and left.
"Zhou Hong, I'm worried that after he returns to the War Wolf Organization, he'll report your matter up the chain and they'll send more people," Teacher Yang Xi said anxiously.
"Let them send. It doesn't matter."
At this moment, Shen Yanran chuckled and said, "Zhou Hong, I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Even someone at Martial Master level eighty-five is no match for you." Shen Yanran recalled how Zhou Hong had easily defeated the Wolf Lord earlier, and the Wolf Lord had personally stated his realm was Martial Master level eighty-five. Thus, Shen Yanran realized how incredibly strong Zhou Hong was. In Jinshi City, where there were only Martial Artists, Zhou Hong's power was indescribable.
Teacher Yang Xi also came back to her senses, filled with shock. She hadn't thought about it from this perspective earlier and now realized how powerful Zhou Hong was, defeating a Martial Master level eighty-five with a single move.
"Zhou Hong, your true strength must have surpassed Martial Master and entered Martial King, right?" Yang Xi asked.
"I don't know. Guess for yourselves," Zhou Hong said with a faint smile.
"Tell us!" Shen Yanran was full of curiosity, thinking Zhou Hong didn't want to tell them.
"I really don't know. I want to know my own realm too," Zhou Hong said helplessly.
"How is that possible? Everyone can sense their own realm. Even we, who knew nothing about martial cultivation before, can now roughly sense which stage our strength is at," Yang Xi said.
"Really? You can sense your own realm?" Zhou Hong was a bit confused. Why couldn't he sense anything?
"Of course. My current realm is roughly at Martial Master level three," Yang Xi said.
"How do you sense it?"
"I just can sense it," Yang Xi replied with a look of incomprehension.
Zhou Hong was truly bewildered. Why couldn't he sense anything? Could it be because he wasn't from Earth?
"Then what about you?" Zhou Hong looked at Shen Yanran and asked.
"I can too. Although I'm not a martial cultivator, I can still basically sense it. My sound cultivation strength, corresponding to martial cultivation, is probably at Martial Artist level ninety-seven."
"Oh, oh!" Zhou Hong let out a wry smile. It seemed it really was because he wasn't from Earth, or more accurately, his soul wasn't from Earth.
Zhou Hong was too lazy to think about it further. If he couldn't sense it, so be it. It wasn't a very important matter. Perhaps Earth's realm was too low-level, and Zhou Hong's soul came from a higher plane, so he disdained to sense it.
At this moment, Yang Xi looked at Shen Yanran and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Shen Yanran."
"Hello, Teacher Yang!" Shen Yanran quickly replied.
"You don't need to call me Teacher Yang. In fact, we're almost the same age. I'm only a year or two older than you. We're so fated to have received Zhou Hong's guidance. Let's look out for each other in the future."
"Okay!"
Shen Yanran and Yang Xi felt an immediate connection and began to converse deeply.
Seeing this, Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now. You two have a good chat. You are now the first and second strongest in Jinshi City, respectively, so you should have plenty to talk about."
Yang Xi couldn't help but feel speechless and said, "Aren't you in Jinshi City? With you here, how can I be considered the first?"
"Hahaha, let's just ignore me. Right now, in everyone's eyes, I'm just a champion of the martial cultivation competition," Zhou Hong laughed heartily and turned to leave.
"The master opens the door, but the practice is up to the individual." Zhou Hong had taught them everything he could. From now on, it was up to them.
After Zhou Hong left the park, he returned to Jinshi University. Zhou Hong had no intention of spending more effort on Yang Xi and Shen Yanran. They were both top-tier geniuses, and they would surely become very powerful with their own cultivation in the future.
