Supernatural Insight Eyes

Chapter 2111 - 2112: Peaceful Days

For half a month, Ye Qiu’s life has been relatively peaceful.

Every day, he would join Turquoise Pool, Qin Feng, Jin Shanshun, and others to hunt abyssal demons, and his military merit points increased bit by bit.

During this period, Ye Qiu killed three king-level abyssal demons, all of which were adults. This news shocked many within the ancient city, clearly indicating a rising star had directly ascended to the first tier.

However, Ye Qiu’s rank in military merit points among the young kings in the first tier was at the bottom; others had killed far more king-level abyssal demons than he did.

Ye Qiu hadn’t been in the ancient city for long, and sometimes killing king-level abyssal demons depended on luck—not every time could one encounter such level of abyssal demons.

This resulted in Ye Qiu’s military merit points being vastly different from those at the top.

Ye Qiu deliberately swept an eye over the military merit points leaderboard, memorizing the names of those ranked ahead of him.

At the top was the Taiyi Saint Heir, with military merit points reaching a terrifying million level. It’s unknown how many demons this guy killed; just looking at the point quantity is terrifying. Why? Well, some people’s military merit points are only tens of thousands, while the most are only a bit over a hundred thousand, but reaching a million in military merit points is simply extravagant.

The most dazzling part is that in everyone’s eyes, the Taiyi Saint Heir always worked solo, never forming a team, yet the number of abyssal demons he killed was unmatched, making others feel like they could never catch up.

This is the difference between prodigy and ordinary people, as reflected on the military merit points leaderboard.

Moreover, those who haven’t entered the Saint Realm and are still striving to enhance their strength in the Aether Realm look even more trivial.

These days, Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng followed Ye Qiu, earning quite a bit of military merit points. Ye Qiu was not a stingy person; his strength reached the Supreme Saint level, making further improvement difficult, so he deliberately honed the two, allowing their power to rapidly increase.

During the day, it was Ye Qiu, Turquoise Pool, and them together hunting abyssal demons.

But at night, it was just the three men taking action.

The Milky Way path could quickly enhance a martial artist’s strength, but this was built upon certain brutality. Without military merit points, you have no opportunities, so everyone fights desperately to gain points, battling abyssal demons.

Previously, Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun lived like this, enduring very tough times. After all, both their abilities were inadequate, always on edge, only daring to target isolated abyssal demons.

But it’s different now. With Ye Qiu around, they need not worry and could desperately train themselves knowing Ye Qiu would intervene in critical moments.

This kind of training rapidly enhanced their strength daily, in half a month, Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng both broke through to the late Aether Realm, not far from its peak.

Of course, such fast strength improvement naturally burned through a large amount of military merit points.

Ye Qiu wasn’t stingy, if he could enhance the duo’s strength, spending some time and military merit points was nothing.

After all, Ye Qiu deeply valued those around him, especially after Bai Xiong’s death, which reminded Ye Qiu that when the small world of the ancient land shattered, and the aircraft exploded, not everyone survived; many died as a result.

Back then, many of Jin Shanshun’s clansmen boarded the aircraft, including elders and young talents from the Jin clan. Some left a deep impression on Ye Qiu, but unfortunately, none survived, not even Jin Shanshun’s father.

Even if they had survived by luck, could they live well now?

Like Bai Xiong, who escaped the initial crisis only to be killed later. Why was that? Still too weak.

Only strong ones can survive.

Perhaps as a lesson from this, Ye Qiu was willing to invest greatly in enhancing the two’s strength, believing that if he could boost their power, the cost was irrelevant.

Ye Qiu already had few loved ones, he didn’t want them to leave him one by one.

Deep down, Ye Qiu feared that as his strength rapidly increased, those who once had a good relationship with him were gradually becoming distant because they couldn’t keep up. He feared that the further he walked on the martial path, the fewer people would remain by his side.

If he someday reached the peak of the martial path alone, what meaning did it have?

This is the main reason why Ye Qiu ceaselessly honed the pair. Fortunately, they didn’t let him down.

Due to their rapidly increasing strength, Ye Qiu decided to let them hone their skills better, so he spent all his military merit points to redeem an opportunity for them to gain insight deep within the ancient city.

Ye Qiu tried this once before, but to him, the effect was minimal. Besides, he had just reached the Supreme Saint level, and breaking through to higher levels couldn’t rely solely on enlightenment.

He was still missing something, Ye Qiu was aware of this.

Military merit points were simply a matter of a few king-level abyssal demons to him, not too difficult. If it could improve the two’s strength further, it was well worth it.

Initially, Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng both refused, saying the twenty thousand plus military merit points were substantial. Not even Turquoise Pool had more than Ye Qiu, yet Ye Qiu only used a little himself, leaving most for the two.

The two didn’t say thanks verbally, gratitude stayed in their hearts. Ye Qiu’s actions warmed them profoundly, even if they would break and grind for him, they wouldn’t flinch.

Thus, leaving their four-man squad with Ye Qiu and Turquoise Pool temporarily.

With Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng gone, their demon killing speed increased significantly. Ye Qiu had deliberately slowed down to hone the two previously, but now it was different; finding abyssal demons felt like locusts swarming—resulting in total annihilation.

During this, they also faced life and death crises, encountering two king-level abyssal demons simultaneously.

Abyssal demons have a trait; kings don’t often appear together. Rarely, within a group of abyssal demons are two king-level abyssal demons present simultaneously.

But their luck was precisely so ’good’; Ye Qiu and Turquoise Pool didn’t want to miss the chance, thus took the risk. Unexpectedly, after killing the two king-level abyssal demons, more abyssal demons emerged, including two more king-level ones. Turquoise Pool at that time was exhausted and fainted, leaving Ye Qiu to strike.

Yet, when Turquoise Pool awakened, she found she was okay, as was Ye Qiu, safely returning to the ancient city in the Milky Way. She asked Ye Qiu how he survived, as merely the first two king-level abyssal demons’ encounter depleted Ye Qiu’s strength significantly, and even more so once two more emerged.

Ye Qiu didn’t explain much, only said he had good luck with a final stand.

Turquoise Pool could only relent, saying nothing more.

Time seemed like it continued to pass quite peacefully.
