Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the faces of the Spirit Scholars from the Zhou family also became eager, and their greedy hearts instantly erupted.
They were all Spirit Scholars. When they cultivated to the Spirit King realm, they would leave the Spirit Domain and enter Devil's Island.
That place was like heaven.
There, they had excellent resources, all sorts of treasures, and could even find some elixirs, and even some inheritances left by powerful cultivators.
This held great temptation for them, especially in the Spirit Martial Academy on the Spirit Martial Continent, where all these temptations were even greater.
Therefore, their gazes instantly fell upon Zhou Yan.
"We agree!" A man at the eighth-tier of Spirit Scholar immediately said, "We also want to train on Devil's Island. Not only can we gain huge benefits from training there, but we also have a chance to encounter Spirit Emperor-level demonic beasts."
"Moreover, you can provide us with some help. Why wouldn't we do something like this?"
"That's right, I agree with this matter too!"
...
Soon, the other Spirit Scholars also agreed to the suggestion.
After all, they also wanted to break through as soon as possible, then enter Devil's Island, become powerful there, and obtain more treasures.
Zhou Yan's strength made them feel a great sense of crisis. If they could gain greater benefits through this trial, perhaps their strength would increase.
Zhou Yan smiled slightly and said, "If that's the case, then let's go!"
Afterward, Zhou Yan turned and led the crowd away.
Although Zhou Yan did not kill a sixth-tier Spirit Scholar in this battle, his imposing entrance had completely subdued those Spirit Scholars, and they no longer dared to provoke Zhou Yan.
After all, the strength Zhou Yan had displayed had completely shocked them.
...
Zhou Yan's appearance once again attracted everyone's attention, and their gazes towards him were filled with envy.
There were many cultivators with high talent in this world, but true geniuses were not many. This was because they were proud and disdained to compete for resources with others. Thus, once they advanced, they would quickly go into seclusion to break through, striving to become Spirit Masters as soon as possible and enter the sacred lands for training.
Although Zhou Yan was only a second-tier Spirit Master, with his talent, he was fully qualified to compete with ninth-tier Spirit Scholars!
This also made many people understand that among them, except for a few exceptionally talented individuals, most people's cultivation talent was far inferior to Zhou Yan's.
Therefore, after Zhou Yan displayed such strength, others no longer provoked him. They even seemed to be afraid to speak to him, lest he utter a word that would cost them their lives.
"Kid, you're very strong. Our Zhou family won't let you off!" At this moment, Zhou Hu's figure suddenly appeared in the void, looking at Zhou Yan and saying menacingly.
As his voice fell, a group of people behind him all charged towards Zhou Yan, ready to capture him.
Zhou Yan frowned as he saw them rush over, but he did not dodge.
Although Zhou Yan did not use any weapons, a strong golden light emanated from his body.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound was heard. The seventh-tier Spirit Scholar cultivator was sent flying backward before he even got close to Zhou Yan.
The others were startled, not expecting Zhou Yan's strength to be so terrifying.
Zhou Hu's eyes narrowed. He did not expect this young man in front of him to be so troublesome.
However, he did not believe in evil and charged forward again, throwing a punch.
"Boom!"
This punch carried immense power, and space itself seemed to tremble.
But it did not cause any damage to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan effortlessly evaded the attack and then kicked out.
"Bang!"
Zhou Hu was once again sent flying backward, his face contorted in pain, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Hiss~"
Seeing Zhou Yan easily defeat Zhou Hu, the other eighth-tier Spirit Scholar powerhouses all gasped.
"Senior Brother Zhou Yan's strength is so powerful!"
"Those eighth-tier Spirit Scholars couldn't even block one move from him."
"Senior Brother Zhou Yan's strength is truly too great."
...
Those people looked at Zhou Yan with admiration.
This scene made others filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
However, Zhou Yan completely ignored the others and instead asked Zhou Hu, "Zhou Hu, is your Zhou family willing to surrender to my Zhou family?"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Hu's face stiffened, and he then shouted angrily, "You're dreaming! I, Zhou Hu, will never betray the family head!"
"Hmph! Since you refuse to surrender to my Zhou family, then I'll spare your dog life today. I will send you to your death." Zhou Yan's expression turned cold, and killing intent erupted.
"Hmph! You're just a good-for-nothing. Even if you can defeat me, do you dare to kill me?" Zhou Hu stared at Zhou Yan coldly and said mockingly.
Zhou Yan ignored him and spread out his palm. A storage ring appeared, and then Zhou Yan's divine sense swept over it.
The storage ring contained quite a few precious cultivation resources. Zhou Yan even found a top-grade Origin Stone.
Zhou Yan picked up the Origin Stone and then threw it at Zhou Hu's face, saying indifferently, "Zhou Hu, hand over everything you have."
"Hmph! You wish!" Zhou Hu roared, his face distorted as he stared at Zhou Yan, "Try touching me, and my father will surely make you die without a burial place!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Zhou Yan's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Are you sure your father will protect you?"
"Of course! My father is the patriarch of the Zhou family, and I am the patriarch's son. Everyone in the Zhou family thinks my father will protect me and not let me be killed!" Zhou Hu said proudly.
"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Since your father is the patriarch of the Zhou family, then I can kill you even more."
"You dare!" Zhou Hu roared.
"If you don't believe me, I don't mind letting you see how I kill you!" Zhou Yan sneered, and then his figure suddenly disappeared. In the next moment, he appeared in front of Zhou Hu, raising his right fist.
"Boom!"
The power of this punch directly pierced through Zhou Hu's chest. His internal organs were all shattered, and his body was sent flying backward.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Hu's body heavily fell to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Am... am I dead?" Zhou Hu's eyes were filled with unwillingness and confusion.
