As a Dream Master, it was basic fundamentals to be able to control one’s emotions.

Fang Yuan was able to come to the conclusion based on Black Jack’s facial expressions and his increased blood flow and heartbeat—he was lying!

“I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”

Feeling the pain of losing his hand, Black Jack had an expression of agony and shouted all of a sudden, “It was my master who ordered me to do so!”

“The setup in the Bay of Pigs was also done by him?” Fang Yuan asked, curious.

If it was able to do that, then Black Jack’s backer would be Flaming Evil Demon Seth.

“I don’t know… All master did was instruct me to attract Demon Hunters there!” Black Jack spilled the beans, like an inverted bamboo tube that had beans falling out.

“Then, how do you contact it?” Fang Yuan moved Starry Night over Black Jack’s other hand.

“In the secret room—there’s a golden pot that allows me to link up with my master!”

Cold sweat dripped down like crazy from Black Jack as he finally spat out his biggest secret.

“Bring me there!” Fang Yuan instructed.

Whoosh!

In the secret room, a green flame burned, and a human face appeared from within.

“As expected… a Demon Hunter has come to find me?”

The other party looked at Fang Yuan with interest but wasn’t shocked. It was obvious that it had abandoned Black Jack.

“You purposely spread the news to attract Demon Hunters to the Bay of Pigs because you knew that there wasn’t only a Voodoo Corpse, but there was also Evil Demon follower activity… You were planning on ruining their plans!”

Fang Yuan looked at the human face and said with confirmation, “You’re not from the Night Family Clan… but you’re in between humans and them—Master!”

“Demon Hunter, your sensitivity is truly marvelous!” The human face within the flames smiled. “Even if it was Black Jack, he saw us as Evil Demon to serve and provide offerings to.”

It seemed that it was because of the long distance communication, the other party was at ease and even had the mood to look at Black Jack’s facial expression as the latter had a nervous breakdown.

“Didn’t you Masters always stand in the middle? Why did you desire to ruin the Evil Demon’s plan?” Fang Yuan asked.

In actual fact, his strong magical energy had begun to locate the other party secretly through the communication.

“Because…’It,’ is coming back!” The human face within the flames said in a chanting tone, “The source of everything, the true mother of all Evil Demons, the presence that holds the great power of reproduction has begun to reveal its traces to the world!”

“Mother of Reproduction?”

The departing words of Flaming Evil Demon Seth rang in his ears, it was obvious that it didn’t say it blindly.

“The Dead Sea Ancient Scroll appeared. Gaining possession of it would bring about the true names of the Evil Demons and the ability to summon the Mother of Reproduction… One of the pages is already in the hands of the Evil Demons…” The Master slowly said, “Light and darkness needs to be balanced in order to have space for us Masters to live… Hence, we chose to expose this information to the Demon Hunters and hope that you will all be able to destroy the Evil Demons’ plan of summoning the Mother of Reproduction… Otherwise, this world will completely become hell and the abyss!”

“I understand, and I’ll report this information to the superiors at the right time!” Fang Yuan nodded his head. “Can you represent the entirety of the Masters?”

“Of course not… the power and scale of Masters are beyond your imagination… I represent a part of it—the Black Scales Club!”

The human face laughed. “Take Black Jack’s wealth as a small greeting gift. We will have many opportunities to work together in the future!”

Poof!

The green flames burned ruthlessly soon afterward and flaming tongues spread, landing on Black Jack.

“Ah!”

Black Jack burned in the flame, screaming in misery. Within the raging flames, he became a pile of ash within a split second.

At the same time, the flames in the gold pot extinguished, and the connection broke completely.

Fang Yuan could notice that even the ripples of magic had also vanished completely, and it became a defective object.

“It was rumored that the emotions of Masters are unpredictable. As expected, he acted the way he wanted… What does this mean? A demonstration of his power? A provocation?”

Fang Yuan looked at the ash on the floor and laughed bitterly. “Did… it think that I wouldn’t be able to find them—these mice hiding in the sewers, just by breaking all contact?”

The time in which they were connected from before was enough for him to start tracking them down, with it, he was able to narrow down the search area.

In addition to that, the presence that the other party had left, the rippling of its spiritual mind and so on, made Fang Yuan confident in his ability to find them!

“Black Scale Club? An association of Master’s? Interesting!”

Fang Yuan looked around the secret room; there were a variety of treasures and even wads of cash lying around. He immediately packed them up without any reservations.

After all, he wasn’t alone now. He had a large bunch of subordinates to feed, he was rather strapped for cash.

Being able to seize the stockpile of a black market businessman was of some help to him.

“Furthermore… the territory that Black Jack left behind could be given to Almon and the others to use. Even if it’s a small plot of land, it can be satisfactory…”

Fang Yuan had deep thoughts, “In order to accumulate such a large amount of wealth within a short amount of time—as expected, he used many evil methods…”

He then wore his cape and low-key left the black market, returning to the Demon Hunter branch.

“Although this information is very vital, it may or may not be accepted… I have to be more persuasive. However, the other Masters have to get in contact with Demon Hunters, I don’t have to be too anxious about it!”

Fang Yuan was clear about his own position. He was only a small Demon Hunter, and he had a bunch of titled Demon Hunters and Sacred Weapon holders above him. Even if the Mother of Reproduction arrived, there was nothing for him to be afraid of.

“However, if I met with any trouble, I can find Seres for help by using the excuse of seeking advice… Even if I don’t do that, it can also act as a deterrence!”

Being able to go straight to the highest channel, it was a matter of being bold. Fang Yuan could confirm that with this “amulet,” at the very least, the latent rules wouldn’t be applied to him.

“I have to cultivate again and learn, as well as practice more techniques when I go back to the Union this time! Especially medicament and alchemy, they’ll be good for researching Evil Demons and blood classes!”

Fang Yuan took a glance at his attribute window:

“Name: Hulk (Fang Yuan)

Essence: 20.0 (110)

Spirit: 20.0 (100)

Magic: 20.0 (120)

Profession: Demon Hunter

State: Healthy

Technique: Basic grapple (Proficient), Gun Fighting Skill (Normal), Secret Study (Normal), Pharmaceutics (Basic), Alchemy (Basic), Morning Stars Swordsmanship (Dawn)

Specialization: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 6)(Peak)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 3)], [Body Seal (Ultimate form)]”

His breakthrough in Morning Stars Swordsmanship brought an increase in his personal attributes.

However, Fang Yuan also knew that he was still far away from breaking through to the fourth level, the state of obtaining Starry Night.

He knew that based on the huge difference in the attributes window.

A True Power Obtainer would at least have over a hundred of the same attributes! The difference was immense.

“This could actually represent that, in this world, the difference between an average Demon Hunter and Legendary Demon Hunter is heaven and earth…”

Based on the power he currently has, Fang Yuan speculated that he was around the standard of a B-grade Demon Hunter and was 50 points off from being an A-grade Demon Hunter and still required double the levels!

Just from being an A-grade Demon Hunter to having a breakthrough and becoming a titled legend was a transformation. It was daunting to countless numbers of demon hunters. Even if they used up half of their lifetime, they still wouldn’t be able to move to the other side.

Hence, titled Demon Hunters had a highly respected position. By being appointed to a post outside the capital, they were at least a branch president!

Using the same logic within the Night Family Clan, the Evil Demons with high-class blood could also easily go against a high, mid, and low-class blood Demon, kill them, and seize their lives.

The reason for all this… was power!

“In the rumor, the Sacred Cup in the Union headquarters can increase the speed that a Demon Hunter takes to breakthrough their the bottleneck, I don’t even know if that’s true or false…”

Fang Yuan looked at the technique board again.

Through fumbling around these few days, he had a rough idea about the grades.

“The technique grades of this world starts from (Basic), that means that the basic knowledge is known, and they possess a certain level of understanding. Following that is (Normal), that means that they have a certain grasp of the ability. And the (Proficient) level means that the technique has been fully grasped and there’s even the ability to create unique minor skills.

“Above the (Proficient) grade, there are higher levels… does that mean that the second highest level can also be referred to as (Master)? And also the peak would be (Great Master)?”

Basic—Normal—Proficient—Master—Great Master!

Based on Fang Yuan’s calculations, A-grade Demon Hunters should have (Proficient) combat level—even Master Soma had (Proficient) Pharmacy level.

The thing that was said to be (Master) level was the (Dawn) level in Morning Stars Swordsmanship!

As for (Great Master), there was no doubt that only Power Obtainers and maybe Fang Yuan could obtain that.

“I have a high level currently… but my physical fitness and strength attribute is too low!”

As he pondered silently, Fang Yuan arrived in front of Master Soma’s experiment lab and knocked on the door politely.

“Who is it again?”

Master Soma popped his head out, and the impatient look on his face was replaced with a smile when he saw that it was Fang Yuan. “Haha… Hulk, are you okay? That’s great!”

“It’s all thanks to the medicament and belt that Master gave me!”

Fang Yuan thanked him sincerely, “Also… I wish to become Master’s assistant, I wonder if I could have the honor to do so?”

“Of course!” Soma readily agreed, he had previously invested so the other party could come back safe and sound so that he could become his cheap labor!

“Don’t you worry. As for the remuneration… I won’t take advantage of you!”

After thinking for a while, Master Soma set out his conditions, “I’ll issue tasks so that you can stay in the experiment lab. I’ll base it on the missions you complete each month and provide you with pay! In addition to that, if you can satisfy me, I can open up part of my private library to you!”

In actual fact, he felt that an assistant, that wasn’t his disciple and relied on self-learning, would take years to successfully produce his first medicament—even if has Hulk’s natural talent.

This was also Soma’s motive. He would exploit the other party for two to three years before providing a way out. This was how most of Pharmacist disciples were treated.

If they bumped into a black-hearted tutor, they would be seen as free labor and would be a disciple for the rest of their lives!
