"You're still alive, you brat." This was what Chu Luoyan said.
Hearing these words from Chu Luoyan, Zhou Yan didn't find it strange at all. This woman never said anything nice.
"I wish I were dead, but those people couldn't kill me, and I'm very helpless," Zhou Yan replied to Chu Luoyan. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish when we get back to Ziwei Academy," Chu Luoyan threatened.
Zhou Yan just chuckled. He was indeed no match for Chu Luoyan in the past and was worried. Now, he wasn't afraid of Chu Luoyan making a move against him at all.
"I'll be waiting!" Zhou Yan replied.
"So confident, I'm really curious to see," Chu Luoyan actually wanted to see what gave Zhou Yan the confidence to say such things.
Zhou Yan ended his conversation with Chu Luoyan and looked at Teacher Leng Yue.
"It's good that you're fine. You're quite something, kid. I heard you made quite a stir on the Myriad Realms Lord Continent, but there's been no news from you for months," Leng Yue replied.
"It's not that they didn't want to spread the news, but I killed them all. They couldn't spread anything even if they wanted to," Zhou Yan replied.
"You killed them all? No way. I heard many people were trying to kill you," Leng Yue was very curious.
"There were indeed quite a lot, about tens of thousands of lords," Zhou Yan replied casually.
"Tens of thousands..."
Leng Yue didn't want to talk to Zhou Yan anymore. These were not words a human would say. Tens of thousands of lords were chasing him, and he killed them all, yet he could still say it so calmly.
Although Leng Yue didn't know if his words were true, she knew the number wouldn't be small.
"Come back to the academy soon." This was Yang Junming's message.
As for Lin Tan, Li Qingjin, Luo Yushuang, Dong Qingyi, Gu Nianyun, and others, they had a lot to say. Zhou Yan chatted with them for a long time until someone knocked on the door, and Zhou Yan ended his calls with them.
Opening the door, Zhou Yan saw Hai Ning and asked, "Is there something?"
"Can we talk? I want to cooperate with you," Hai Ning said.
"Okay." Zhou Yan let her in and asked, "Are you in the business of lord materials?"
"Not entirely. We are involved in both the industries on Canglan Continent and businesses in the Lord's World. We even have many overseas businesses. This time, I acquired a batch of materials from overseas."
"I intended to transport this batch of materials to the Lord Continent, but it was immediately blocked, so I had no choice but to flee by ship. When we left, we had five ships and over a thousand powerful individuals."
"But in international waters, they were all killed, and only our ship remained. Our people haven't returned yet; they should all be annihilated."
Hai Ning briefly described the events and then said, "First, I want to sincerely thank you for saving us. Your strength is immense. I heard you can contend with a demigod. From the situation earlier, it seems to be true."
"It was just a casual act. The main reason is that I didn't know the specific route back to the Divine Dragon Kingdom, so I could escort you back."
Zhou Yan helped the Haitian Group because he had previously discovered in the "Heavenly Tome Library" that the Haitian Group had also sent strong individuals to help him before.
Although they never met Zhou Yan, since Zhou Yan encountered them, he wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
With him here, Hai Ning and the others would be safe. Otherwise, with Zhou Yan's capabilities, how could he not find the specific route back to the Divine Dragon Kingdom? That was just an excuse.
"No matter what, we can be considered friends now, right?" Hai Ning replied.
"Indeed." After Zhou Yan replied, he circulated a powerful ability, dispelling the scroll's effect on Hai Ning, allowing her to use her territory's abilities normally.
Hai Ning was surprised, "Your strength is indeed formidable. You can even do this."
"Ultimately, these scrolls are all made based on formations. As long as you have strength that surpasses the scrolls, you can destroy them. Although some scrolls are indeed powerful and profound, as long as your strength is sufficient, or your formation attainment is high enough, you can also resolve them."
The stronger one becomes, the less effective these scrolls and items are. They can clearly understand the structure of such things, and destroying or resolving them is not difficult.
No matter how powerful a formation is, it can be resolved with enough time.
"Since you've resolved my scroll ability, let's add each other as friends," Hai Ning said.
"Your Lord's Heart probably can't be used in these international waters, right?" Zhou Yan replied.
Hai Ning suddenly remembered that they were still in international waters and quickly said, "Look at my memory."
"I'll add you then," Zhou Yan smiled.
After the deep-sea core's second anomaly, Zhou Yan's Lord's Heart was no longer affected by this place. In fact, even the entire Canglan Continent could not prevent him from summoning his territory.
Zhou Yan still didn't know the specific secrets of the deep-sea core, but he knew that all Lord's Hearts should be related to it.
That was the core of all Lord's Hearts, and naturally, no one could enter it, not even gods.
Except for Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan felt a mysterious force guiding him from the unknown, and he also felt that all of this was his own destiny.
Regardless, what Zhou Yan needed to do now was to continuously develop his territory, expand it, and build it to be as strong as possible.
Now, Zhou Yan was no longer in such a hurry to ascend to the God Realm. He felt that building a solid foundation here was the best choice.
The core of a lord was their territory.
A lord's strength also came from their territory. The better and larger the territory developed, the stronger he would become. This had already been proven in many aspects.
When Hai Ning heard Zhou Yan's words, she was shocked and then asked, "You are not affected by international waters, not restricted by this area?"
"Everyone has secrets, don't they? This is a tradition of our Ziwei Academy," Zhou Yan replied.
"That's true. You are still a student," Hai Ning suddenly remembered that Zhou Yan was still just a student.
Just a nineteen-year-old student, who had only awakened his territory for a little over a year.
It was precisely because of this that Hai Ning found Zhou Yan so special and extraordinary.
At nineteen, he possessed the combat power of a demigod. This growth rate was truly terrifying.
No wonder so many enemies wanted to kill Zhou Yan, to eliminate him before he could grow.
Unfortunately, those people still failed. Zhou Yan had already grown, and they acted too late.
