These guards were all residents of Devil's Island, so they were unaware that Zhou Yan was the biggest winner of this Devil's Island trial.
Zhou Yan arrived at a tent.
"Go inside!" the guard standing outside opened the door and said to Zhou Yan.
"Mm." Zhou Yan nodded slightly and walked in.
"Young Master!" As soon as he entered the tent, a middle-aged man walked out from inside.
This man, dressed in a white long gown, had a gentle smile on his face and was clearly a refined middle-aged man.
Zhou Yan glanced at the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "Uncle, why did you personally come out to greet me? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me outside? Look at these guards, they dare to disobey my orders."
"Haha!" Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the man burst into laughter and then said, "Yan'er, don't blame them. You have no idea, I was personally in charge of the trial today."
"What? You were in charge?" Zhou Yan was surprised.
His father, Zhou Xiong, was a peak Heavenly God expert and the sole heir of the family.
This Zhou Yan, so to speak, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but within the family, he was merely Zhou Xiong's nephew.
"That's right, I was in charge." The middle-aged man nodded, then pointed at the two guards behind Zhou Yan and said with a smile, "These two young brothers aren't disobeying me, it's just that they are seriously injured and can't participate in the trial, so I replaced them."
Saying this, Zhou Xiong pointed at the two guards beside them.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan quickly turned to look.
He saw that two sharp blades were inserted into the chests of the two guards, and blood had soaked through their clothes, indicating severe injuries.
"Uncle, who did this?" Zhou Yan frowned and asked angrily.
"Yan'er, don't rush, let me tell you slowly." Zhou Xiong shook his head and then slowly began to speak, "It's like this, today, I was personally in charge of the Devil's Island trial, but your situation is very special. Because your cultivation is too low, I personally came to help you break through."
"My cultivation is too low?" Zhou Yan was a little confused after hearing Zhou Xiong's words.
"Mm." Zhou Xiong nodded heavily and said, "My son, you should understand, I am the head of the Zhou family. Although I am the head, I cannot stay at the Zhou family all the time. Therefore, I hope to send some experts to assist you for a period of time so that you can break through smoothly."
"But this person's cultivation and strength are very strong, I'm afraid I can't match them. Moreover, even if they are willing to assist me, I don't have enough resources to improve my cultivation!" Zhou Yan frowned.
"Yan'er, don't worry, I will arrange it." Zhou Xiong smiled.
"Mm." Zhou Yan nodded slightly and said no more.
"Your task now is to cultivate diligently and recover your strength to the Spirit King realm as soon as possible. Then, you will be able to participate in the Devil's Island trials." Zhou Xiong patted Zhou Yan's shoulder and said.
"Yes, Uncle!"
"Mm!" Zhou Xiong nodded with satisfaction and then said, "You should rest first. I'll go prepare some food. You must be hungry!"
After Zhou Xiong finished speaking, he left.
"Sigh!" Zhou Yan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
In his sea of consciousness, a ball of flame floated.
That was the essence blood of the Fire Qilin.
This Fire Qilin essence blood floated there like a bead, constantly rotating and emitting a powerful and peerless pressure.
And that ball of flame seemed to be devouring the Fire Qilin essence blood, constantly refining it, which greatly surprised Zhou Yan.
This Fire Qilin essence blood was a seventh-grade Sacred Artifact, which was incredibly powerful. Yet, it was now being constantly devoured by this ball of flame.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh at the power of the Fire Qilin essence blood.
At this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly remembered something and turned his gaze to the two guards beside him, asking, "By the way, Uncle, where are those people? Why haven't I seen them?"
"Oh, those people left long ago. You've been in a coma these past few days, so you don't know what's been happening outside," the middle-aged man said indifferently. "Those people have all been teleported out. They will gather in the plaza outside Devil's Island three months later, based on your performance."
"So that's how it is..." Hearing this, Zhou Yan also nodded slightly.
"Then I'll go back to cultivate. Uncle, please take care of yourself!"
"Mm, go, don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself."
Zhou Xiong waved his hand and said with a smile.
............
Zhou Yan walked out of Devil's Island and headed straight for the Zhou Manor.
He did have something that needed to be resolved.
He had to break through, improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and then go to Devil's Island to explore!
...
Zhou Yan returned to the Zhou Manor and went directly into his room, closed the door, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
The night passed quickly, and Zhou Yan woke up from his cultivation the next morning.
Although his cultivation was only at the sixth level of Spirit Lord, his combat power was no weaker than a Spirit Emperor.
"Uncle, I have prepared the things you asked me to prepare."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Yan looked up slightly and glanced out the window, seeing that it was not yet dawn.
Zhou Yan got up, walked to the window, and opened the door.
"Uncle, shall we leave now?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Mm." Zhou Xiong nodded, and then added, "However, before we leave, you still need to do a few things."
"What things?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Actually, while you were away, your aunt came over every five days to bring you some fresh fruits and vegetables," Zhou Xiong said. "She came this time because she wanted to ask you something."
"Ask me something?" Zhou Yan blinked, then asked, "Is it about the Devil's Island trial?"
"Mm, it's about the Devil's Island trial. Your aunt came this time because she wants you to do something for her." Zhou Xiong said, taking out a map and handing it to Zhou Yan.
"What task?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.
"The second round of the Devil's Island trial assessment will be held in the plaza outside Devil's Island. Those people are helpers that your uncle found. Although your current strength is weaker than theirs, you can still fight them head-on. So, this matter is up to you." Zhou Xiong said.
"Mm, this is no problem. As long as it's about Devil's Island, I have no objections." Zhou Yan replied.
"Mm, that's good!" Zhou Xiong nodded.
