Chapter 80: Blood Sacrifice
Yun Yan shook her head. “We don’t know the exact situation, but we do know that the Dark Gods probably have their eyes on your sister because of her physique. It seems that they want to use her for a blood sacrifice. However, that’s only if your sister’s strength reaches a certain level.”
Zhang Yi almost broke down when he heard about the blood sacrifice, but his eyes widened after hearing the rest.
“Yun Yan, you… you mean that until my sister matures and meets the requirements of the blood sacrifice, she will be safe, right?”
Xu Ling and the other students nodded and said in unison, “Yes!”
Zhou Hao asked, “Do you know where Zhang Ying was taken to?”
“It’s the Dark Gods headquarters!” A voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the medical office.
The students automatically opened a path and Shen Jing walked over.
Zhang Yi and Zhou Hao hurriedly got up.
Shen Jing waved his hand. “You don’t have to move. Zhang Yi, according to our understanding, other people from different cities have also been taken away by the Dark Gods. The blood sacrifice held by the Dark Gods is very mysterious. They have to bring those people to the headquarters to train them until they meet the requirements.”
“Therefore, your sister is safe until she meets the requirements for the blood sacrifice.”
Hearing Instructor Shen say this, Zhang Yi immediately relaxed.
Zhou Hao asked, “Instructor, may I ask how long it will take for the Dark Gods to nurture Zhang Ying and the others who have been captured?”
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment before looking at Instructor Shen nervously.
Instructor Shen shook his head. “We’re not too sure about that either. We only know that the requirements for the blood sacrifice are very strict. Even if the Dark Gods are able to obtain a lot of resources, they will still need at least a year to prepare!”
Zhou Hao and Zhang Yi looked at each other.
“In other words, we only have a year!” Zhang Yi clenched his fists tightly.
Instructor Shen nodded. “That’s right. If you want to save your sister, you have to advance to the master level within this year.”
Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said firmly, “I will!”
Instructor Shen sighed in his heart. Actually, he was only giving Zhang Yi hope. After all, the Dark Gods were too powerful. If there was already a grandmaster holding down the fort at the residential area stronghold, then just what kind of expert awaited them at the headquarters?
Turning around, Shen Jing swept his gaze over the other students and said slowly, “All of you have done well in this Dark Gods Operation. The school and commander Zhao have unanimously decided to hold an award ceremony for all of you the day after tomorrow. At that time, Commander Zhao and the other grandmaster experts will personally give you the medal.”
“What? An award ceremony?”
“That’s great. A grandmaster-level expert will even be there to personally give us the medal!”
“Ahhh, I can’t wait!”
The students were pleasantly surprised.
Even Yuan Cheng, Yun Yan, and the other Yanjing geniuses couldn’t help but be excited. It was a supreme honor to receive a medal of honor from a grandmaster.
Shen Jing waved his hand, and everyone instantly fell silent.
“Don’t be happy yet!” Instructor Shen’s expression suddenly turned unsightly, and his tone became solemn. “By removing the Dark Gods’ stronghold this time, we have also attracted the attention of the experts from the Dark Gods headquarters. Now, even the foreign races will place their attention on our Huadong City.”
“Therefore, our Huadong City might start facing some great pressure.”
Xu Ling and the other students’ hearts skipped a beat when they heard this, and their hearts instantly became heavy.
Instructor Shen continued, “After the award ceremony, I will train you guys even more strictly and forcefully!”
Upon hearing this, many students immediately complained.
Even Yuan Cheng, Yun Yan, and the others had bitter expressions. They knew very well how abnormal Instructor Shen’s strict training was.
It was simply hellish.
…
At night.
In the cool moonlight…
Zhou Hao returned to the entrance of the Yang Garden Residence.
Looking at the warm lights inside, he collected his emotions and walked in.
“Little Hao, you’re back. Quickly wash your hands. The food will be ready soon. Today is your favorite braised carp and tofu with bamboo shoots!”
As soon as Zhou Hao entered, he heard his mom’s laughter in the kitchen.
His father, who was reading the newspaper, also smiled and looked at Zhou Hao. “Son, are you tired from the training camp?”
The two of them knew that Zhou Hao had entered the focused training class.
This was something they had coincidentally heard when Zhou Hao was on the phone with Xu Ling. At that time, they were so happy that their mouths were wide open. Even the dinner that night was much more sumptuous.
“I’m not tired. It’s pretty fulfilling.” Zhou Hao washed his hands and said, “The instructor said that I’ll reach the second level of blood essence soon!”
Zhou Xueguo immediately put down the newspaper and said in surprise, “Really?”
Zhou Hao said casually, “How could it be a lie? The instructor said so himself!”
“Good, good!” Zhou Xueguo became excited. “Son, work hard and break through to the second level of blood essence. You have a chance to become a martial artist in the future!”
At this moment, Wang Shuyuan walked out with two plates of food and placed them on the dining table. Seeing that Zhou Xueguo was so excited, she could not help but ask him a few questions.
Zhou Xueguo repeated Zhou Hao’s words.
Wang Shuyun was immediately excited. She planted a few kisses on Zhou Hao’s forehead. “Son, you’re really something. Haha, our family is going to have a martial artist too!”
Zhou Hao was speechless. “Dad, Mom, why are you so happy just because your son is a martial artist?!”
Zhou Xueguo stared at him. “Son, do you know how many people dream of becoming a martial artist? Once you become a martial artist, you can kill foreign races and work for the city!”
“Your father’s dream back then was to become a martial artist!”
Zhou Hao hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, Dad. I’ll work hard to become a martial artist!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but ridicule in his heart. If they knew that his son had already easily killed a high king-level demon beast, they would probably be so excited that they wouldn’t be able to sleep for a month.
“Alright, I’m happy today. Son, drink with me!”
After eating for more than half an hour, Zhou Xueguo pulled Zhou Hao to drink and chat until 9: 30 before letting him sleep.
Lying in bed, Zhou Hao looked at the starlight shining in from the window and gradually calmed down.
The biggest reason why Zhou Hao had cleaned the wilderness area and uprooted the Dark Gods was still to protect his family.
Opening the virtual screen, he habitually glanced at the luck points.
Luck Points: 893,100 (Current level: overwhelming luck)
Zhou Hao was shocked. “More than 50,000 luck points? Could it be…”
He could not help but think of the bronze-masked man he had killed today. It seemed that he was able to drop luck points after transforming into a hideous creature.
“The Dark Gods are really an evil organization. Even their luck point system considers them to be a foreign race!” Sighing, he subconsciously clicked on the shop section and arrived at the mystery box interface.
Large amounts of boxes flashed past as they were opened. Most of them still contained roses, Heaven Dao coins, and other trash.
“890,000. I’m almost at 1 million!” Anticipation flashed in his eyes.
At the Dark Gods headquarters.
In the incomparably spacious hall, roars sounded. “Damn it, Damn it. A mere Huadong City actually destroyed a stronghold of my Dark Gods!”
“Shadow.”
A ball of black gas surged out from the darkness. “Yes, sir.”
“Go, inform the Cloud Mink Royal Family outside the Huadong City that our Dark Gods are willing to cooperate with them. Together, we will make Huadong City disappear from this land!”
