On the road, Zhou Leng checked the rankings of those six Beastmen on the youth list.

Outside of the top thousand, three moves level opponents.

Zhou Leng circled around, approaching from their blind spot, and wasn't noticed until he was two hundred meters away.

Zhou Leng pretended not to see them at first, revealing a startled expression only when the six Beastmen rushed over.

The Beastmen grew more excited, speeding up together.

Zhou Leng's acting was ordinary, and the Beastmen's intelligence was not high.

This time, Zhou Leng didn't immediately strike to kill but used them to test the Void-Breaking Finger.

One stab made a hole.

The Beastmen, strong and sturdy, didn't initially mind, but as they fought, they realized something was wrong.

Why did everyone's body have a bloody hole, continuously bleeding and unable to heal?

They looked at Zhou Leng seriously.

Fearful expression, benevolent heart, thunderous methods.

Zhou Leng realized the Beastmen had awakened, and since he'd already tested the results, he struck with heavy blows.

Killing three Beastmen in a row, the remaining three reacted and fled separately.

Zhou Leng didn't give them a chance, chasing them down one by one.

Stabbing them to the back of the head, killing them with one move.

After sorting out the spoils, Zhou Leng stood in place, carefully recalling the combat process.

"No wonder few people specialize in Finger Techniques."

"The biggest flaw of Finger Techniques is that they can't withstand hard encounters."

"If the opponent throws a punch, I can hard intercept with fist, palm, or claw, but using Finger Techniques might likely get smashed and broken."

"Unless in the future, True Qi is released externally to unleash powerful penetration abilities."

"However, Finger Techniques also have advantages, can achieve unexpected victories..."

Looking at the spoils again.

Any Beastman able to enter here holds a high status, with a total of six Magic Spirit Bags.

However, the treasures inside their Magic Spirit Bags were not many, only some Blood Bones, seemingly having consumed all they gained in Hundred Peaks Valley.

Extracted the Witchcraft Skin acquired from the Beastmen, applied it to their wounds, refined Blood Essence, to later exchange for money and War Merits in the Dwarf world.

Diligence and frugality are traditional virtues.

Halfway through refining, Zhou Leng suddenly felt a disturbance in the Magic Spirit Bag.

Searching around, found the High Priest Badge of the Ice Snow Divine Sect shaking.

With a hand touch, a transmitted thought came from inside.

"Help..."

At the same time, Zhou Leng vaguely sensed the general location of the other party, about twenty kilometers to the left front.

Zhou Leng hesitated for a moment, recalling the salary given by the Ice Snow Divine Sect, he retrieved the High Priest Badge to wear and used the Demonized Watch as a mirror to check himself, covering his face completely, revealing only his eyes.

Slowly manipulating Qi, allowing True Qi to flow around the eye area, altering the gaze to minimize the chance of being recognized.

Gathered full True Qi, sprinted towards the place calling for help.

Soon, he saw two Demon Spirit Masters of the Ice Snow Divine Sect amidst a man-made icy and snowy landscape, confronting four Giants.

The two Demon Spirit Masters sensed a member of the Ice Snow Divine Sect approaching, calling for help loudly.

The four Giants looked over, sending two running over, causing the ground to shake.

Zhou Leng took a careful look; among the two running over, they had once participated in Ancestral Protection with Giant Ancestors and even gave him a shoulder pat as an acquaintance.

Zhou Leng spoke hoarsely, "They are my subordinates; I ask Giant friends to hold back, as I am acquainted with multiple Giant friends."

"What good things can the Demon Worship Sect have? We've known for a while that you've already teamed up with the Giant Dragons." shouted a Giant.

"We are the Ice Snow Divine Sect, not all are Demon Worship Sect." Zhou Leng replied.

"It doesn't matter!"

The Giants, with brute force, couldn't care less.

Zhou Leng had long wanted to test the strength of Giants, saying, "I don't want to fight to the death with you, one by one, I won't strike to kill."

The two Giants exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, then one Giant slowed down to allow the other to advance first.

The two of them actually believed it.

The front Giant arrived close, and threw a punch.

Zhou Leng pushed forward with nine-tenths of power, All Rivers Flow into the Sea.

True Qi roared, imposing and magnificent.

With a boom.

Both bodies trembled back simultaneously, retreating three steps.

Zhou Leng was taken aback looking at the opponent, though Giants here were strong, they shouldn't be this strong, right?

The two Giants on the other side were even more shocked, because the Giant who threw the punch had the dignified blood of a Demigod Giant, although not comparable to Mountain Armor and Mountain and River Origin, he was still an over one hundred rank master on the youth list.

How could he be equal to a human?

"Again!" the Giant roared.

"Come!"

Zhou Leng attacked again, no tricks, purely clashing with fists and palms.

Punches and kicks collided, clattering loudly, with dust flying.

Sometimes the Giant pushed Zhou Leng back, sometimes Zhou Leng pushed the Giant back.

Both sides clashed hard over a hundred moves, Zhou Leng using full ten parts of palm power to repel him.

"How about we call it even?"

"You're a bit stronger than me." The Giant, as an elite, was well aware of human combat techniques.

Initially, all was purely hard clash, yet it was a tie; if humans used various ingenious Martial Arts, he wasn't an opponent at all.

"Let me try!"

Another giant, excited by the hunt, couldn't care less about the youth battle and rushed forward to spar with Zhou Leng.

Among the Grandmaster level and below, humans who can hold their own against giants are exceedingly rare.

This giant was a bit weaker, lasting only eighty moves in the exchange, before being pushed back by Zhou Leng with ninety percent of his strength and True Qi.

"You possess the Giant Body!" he exclaimed.

"Indeed, he is a friend," the other giant said.

"Cease fighting!"

The two giants in the distance stopped, looked at the two Demon Spirit Masters, and hurried over.

"What's going on?"

The two giants who had fought explained the situation, but the newcomers were skeptical and also sparred with Zhou Leng.

One lasted for eighty moves, the other for ninety, both were not as strong as the first giant.

"How many times have you received Ancestral Blessings?"

"Many times."

"Forget it, take care of yourself," the giant saw Zhou Leng didn't want to reveal his identity, stopped questioning, and turned away.

As they walked, they speculated which human warrior could he be.

The two late-stage Life Force Demon Spirit Masters in black snowflake robes ran over, glanced at the badge on Zhou Leng's chest, touched their foreheads with three fingers of their right hand, and bowed deeply.

"Greetings, High Priest, and thank you for saving our lives."

Zhou Leng returned the courtesy by touching his forehead but did not bow.

"I am Snow Mountain Rock, he is Extreme Ice Feather. If you had been a bit later, we might have perished at the hands of the giants," Snow Mountain Rock said gratefully.

"What relation is Snow Mountain Wolf to you?" Zhou Leng recalled the two Demon Spirit Masters who had sent him Ice Snow Divine Sect wages.

"My elder brother."

"Hmm."

"You are a human martial artist and know my brother, could it be that you are a subordinate of Frosty Hand master?"

"Why, do I need to introduce myself to you?" Zhou Leng deliberately maintained an aloof tone.

The two quickly stood upright and bowed their heads. Snow Mountain Rock said, "Forgive me, I was too excited and forgot the rules. Rest assured, we can sense your Priest Badge, and have no doubts about your identity."

As a High Priest, he held a position equivalent to the Great Innate in the Ice Snow Divine Sect.

Beyond that is the Legendary Priest, equivalent to a Grandmaster.

As Zhou Leng was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "What intelligence have you gathered? Share it with me."

Snow Mountain Rock hurriedly said, "You must have come from the human world or the Demon Worship Sect, let me explain…"

Snow Mountain Rock slowly described the situation.

"On the surface, we'll ally with Demon Spirit Masters, but actually to aid Deep Dark Fury, we will work to eliminate humans under the guise of the Demon Worship Sect…"

"After all, we've long known that the number of entries in this youth battle doubled, so we made ample preparations…"

"Oh right, here's an Ice Snow Card specific to this battle, do you have one?"

Zhou Leng responded indifferently, "Do you think I would participate in such low-level cooperation? My identity in the human world cannot be compromised by a mere youth battle."

"You're right, however, please accept it to avoid accidents. Deep Dark Fury is crazy. Even if you hold the Ice Snow Card, he might still attempt a probe."

Zhou Leng accepted the Ice Snow Card and placed it into his Magic Spirit Bag.

Snow Mountain Rock continued to explain the intelligence he gathered and his observations along the way.

Finally, Snow Mountain Rock said, "Currently, Lord Deep Dark Fury is short of personnel and is planning a small assault on the mountain. It is rumored that the mountain harbors treasures that can enhance blood. You're a martial artist and might need it, why not cooperate with Lord Deep Dark Fury?"

Zhou Leng remained composed, yet an idea sparked in his mind.

Though not as strong as Deep Dark Fury, his Lightweight Skill allowed him to come and go effortlessly.

The Demon Dragon, though mighty, was too heavy and couldn't fly faster than a martial artist using Lightweight Skill.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Leng said, "I indeed don't want to be involved in this matter, but if there are treasures, that changes things. You should give me a magic item or a beacon so that I can locate you later. I'll join you after I finish my business."

"Yes."

Snow Mountain Rock retrieved a badge, performed a spell, and handed it to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng bade farewell to the two and produced the badge of Cyan Flame, sensing his location, and proceeded swiftly.

After running several hundred kilometers, he burst out of a forest and saw a cluster of magic cottages ahead.

Zhou Leng halted, raising Cyan Flame's badge.

Soon, Cyan Flame arrived encircled by a breeze, running swiftly across the ground under the protection of wind magic.

"We meet again, Zhou Leng."

"I agree to cooperate. But I need an artist's mask to ensure my identity remains hidden."

"Here you go."

Cyan Flame said as he retrieved a red, white, and black mask and handed it to Zhou Leng.

An Innate Demon Spirit Artifact, even if not used in combat, is worth no less than twenty million.

Zhou Leng accepted it, and Cyan Flame also handed over a beast hide glove embedded with High-Energy Crystal Stone.

"This is a magic glove. By embedding High-Energy Crystal Stone inside, you can use most Demon Spirit Artifacts upon wearing it, complimentary."

"Thank you."

Zhou Leng put on the magic gloves, Cyan Flame explained how to use the artist's mask.

Zhou Leng gradually adjusted, soon transforming into a youth of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years.

His appearance closely resembled Guan Canglong.

The magical power enveloped his entire body, changing even the sheen of his skin surface.

Cyan Flame passed all the herbs originally in the Magic Spirit Bag, from eight to now nine kinds.

Zhou Leng accepted them.

The two discussed cooperation matters for a while before Zhou Leng requested that he buys herbs from among the Demon Spirit Masters, proposing future trades with various items.

Cyan Flame readily agreed.

Leaving the Demon Spirit Master encampment, Zhou Leng removed the artist's mask and ran back to the human race camp.
