Chapter 24

At this moment, both the master and the apprentice were wildly excited.

No more worries!

No more fears!

The master, having entered the realm of Doushan, might be the first in the current realm of martial artists. What was there to fear from a mere Red Shadow?

As for himself, entering the realm of Zhanshi, Li Hao didn’t have many thoughts.

Zhanshi... it’s just like that.

In the demon-hunting squad, everyone is at the Zhanshi level, yet they are still struggling.

At this moment, Li Hao didn’t fully understand what it meant to enter the Zhanshi realm after only three years of martial arts training.

Yuan Shuo understood, but he didn’t care much about it.

Zhanshi, indeed, is weak.

Moreover, this was his student, who, although not primarily focused on martial arts, had the guidance of a Doushan-level master. Entering the Zhanshi realm was a given, wasn’t it?

Besides, Li Hao was already 20 years old.

Entering the Zhanshi realm at 20 isn’t really that impressive. Yuan Shuo remembered that a disciple of an old friend entered the Zhanshi realm at 12, which was truly impressive.

Of course, the disciple of the old friend had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and was bathed in precious herbs from the age of three. Yuan Shuo didn’t bother to mention this point.

Moreover, Li Hao wasn’t entirely without external help. Not to mention the Starlight Energy, the absorption of the mysterious energy was also a key factor.

"Master!"

At this moment, Li Hao was no longer concerned about other things and said excitedly, "Is a Doushan martial artist also invincible in the superhuman realm?"

Doushan!

Yuan Shuo smiled, and after a moment, as if in deep thought, he slowly said, "Almost... once I enter the superhuman realm, I will be invincible!"

"What about before entering?"

Li Hao felt something was off and asked a follow-up question.

Yuan Shuo touched his beard... and suddenly realized it was gone, feeling a bit uncomfortable. After some consideration, he said somewhat ambiguously, "Doushan is still a top-tier existence!"

"How top-tier?"

Li Hao still felt uneasy. Why was the master being so vague?

Yuan Shuo coughed, it was a day of great joy, and you’re asking too many questions.

The previous wildness had slightly subsided, and Yuan Shuo said calmly, "Li Hao, you need to understand that not all superhumans are powerful! For example, when ordinary people enter the superhuman realm, they start at about the Zhanshi level. After some time, they improve and can match the Baiqi level... and Baiqi itself has many levels, 900 Baiqi is still Baiqi, 100 Baiqi is also Baiqi!"

Li Hao couldn’t help but interrupt, he was too eager to know if his master was invincible, "Master, you... weren’t just boasting, were you?"

"Ha!"

Yuan Shuo laughed, seemingly dissatisfied.

He pointed to the sky and became arrogant again, "Let me put it this way, in the entire Silver Moon Province, with my strength, there are only three to five people who can defeat me!"

The Silver Moon Province, ranking in the top five among 32 cities?

Li Hao was somewhat shocked by this.

How big is the Silver Moon Province?

How many people?

Yincheng is considered a small city and is quite backward, but the provincial capital Baiyue City has a population of 30 million!

And Yincheng has a population of about a million.

Compared to Baiyue City, Yincheng is just a speck.

Other cities, the smaller ones are similar to Yincheng, and the larger ones, though not as big as Baiyue City, the second-ranked city in the province, Yaoguang City, has a population of over 10 million.

The entire Silver Moon Province has a population of nearly 100 million!

With so many people and many superhumans, could the master rank in the top five?

"Master, Doushan martial artists are so powerful, then..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, almost being stunned by Yuan Shuo’s next words.

"There are only three to five people who can defeat me, but I’m talking about those who are at a higher level than me. In the superhuman realm, those at a similar level to me... there are dozens!"

Yuan Shuo looked a bit embarrassed.

Of course, if he entered the superhuman realm, those few who were stronger and at a higher level might not be as strong as him.

Li Hao was initially disappointed, but then he thought, it’s still pretty impressive!

Among the top-tier strong, the entire Silver Moon Province doesn’t seem to have many.

The master has never entered the superhuman realm, and to be this strong is already quite impressive.

"Master, is it easy to enter the Doushan level in the superhuman realm?"

"Easy?"

Yuan Shuo laughed, "Not exactly easy, but much easier than for martial artists! Let me explain, superhumans also have levels. Superhumans at the Doushan level are called Rizhao in the superhuman realm. Rizhao-level superhumans are equivalent to Doushan-level martial artists. In the entire Silver Moon Province, there are quite a few Rizhao-level superhumans, almost every major city has one."

"But to say it’s easy, it’s relative. At least in the martial artist realm..."

He sighed and shook his head, "Doushan-level martial artists, I might be the last one in the past twenty years!"

There were some twenty years ago.

But now, he hasn’t heard of any, maybe there are some, but they are either in seclusion or waiting for the right moment to see if they can enter the superhuman realm, or they have already entered the superhuman realm.

Whether they are in the Silver Moon Province or not is uncertain. He hasn’t left the Silver Moon Province for many years and doesn’t know much about the outside world.

At this moment, Li Hao remembered this term.

Rizhao!

Superhumans at the Rizhao level, comparable to Doushan, were once called land immortals. In the superhuman realm, they are not invincible, and there are dozens in the Silver Moon Province.

What level is Red Shadow?

Li Hao was worried about his master and asked, "Master, can you deal with the superhuman who killed Xiaoyuan after entering the Doushan level? And if the other side is part of an organization with many superhumans, can you handle it?"

"Let’s go inside and talk!"

Yuan Shuo glanced outside and lowered his voice, "Let’s go inside and avoid the situation. The changes are a bit significant, let’s be low-key."

Li Hao understood, and the two walked towards the main house of the small courtyard.

...

The large living room was ancient and spacious.

After entering, Yuan Shuo didn’t rush to talk to Li Hao. He walked to the mirror, looked at himself, nodded in satisfaction, and then returned to the living room.

He was a bit showy.

Li Hao pretended not to notice.

"The superhuman who killed Zhang Yuan, in my view, isn’t weak, but... it’s not too strong either!"

Yuan Shuo analyzed, "If it were really strong, Zhang Yuan wouldn’t have had a chance to leave the dormitory. He would have been silently burned to death. But he did leave, which means the person or some superpower is limited!"

"Of course, we can’t conclude that the other side is weak just because of this. Being able to plan for over a decade, they definitely aren’t weak. Now we need to see if it’s an organization or an individual."

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "It’s probably an organization!"

"How so?"

Yuan Shuo looked at Li Hao with a hint of testing.

Li Hao analyzed, "I felt the presence of the other side outside Zhang Yuan’s house, which means they were tailing him! I also discovered that someone was following me outside the Inspection Bureau, even in a car, which could be an
