After Yuan destroyed the artificial demon, the lecturer had someone take away the demon, and since they didn''t expect someone to destroy an artificial demon in such a manner, a recement would not be ready for a few days.


    "Umm… Do you mind if I continue practicing with the artificial demons?" Yuan suddenly asked the lecturer, leaving him speechless.


    When Yuan saw the lecturer''s perplexed face, he quickly continued, "I-I won''t break any more artificial demons, I promise! I won''t even use my demon sealing techniques! I just want to be morefortable when fighting demons!"


    "If you say it like that, I cannot refuse." The lecturer nodded.


    "Thank you, Senior!" Yuan bowed to him before waiting for the next avable artificial demon.


    While he waited, Wan Yu approached him and started a conversation with him.


    "How old are you this year? You look very young."


    "I''m 18 years old."


    "What? You''re that young? I truly wasn''t expecting that." Wan Yu thought Yuan was older than he appeared, as that is usually the case in the cultivation world, especially in their realm.


    "If you don''t mind me asking, which family are you from?" Wan Yu then asked.


    "I don''t belong to a family." Yuan shook his head.


    "Oh? What about a sect?"


    "I used to be in a sect, but I am now wandering the Nine Heavens with my friends."


    "So you''re a rogue cultivator, huh? That''s very surprising as well. I thought you would be from some big family or prominent sect."


    "With that being said, if you wish to join the Demon Sealing Grotto, you''re more than weed."


    "Demon Sealing Grotto?" Yuan looked at Wan Yu and asked, "What''s their rtionship with the Demon Sealing n?"


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    "The Demon Sealing n came first and was created by the Divine Paragon himself. The Demon Sealing Grotto, however, was created after the founder''s disappearance."


    "The two of them basically exist for the same purpose— to deal with the remaining demons in the Nine Heavens. However, despite their simr purposes and existence, the two of them are not really that close to each other. In fact, they can even be considered rivals."


    "After the founder''s disappearance and the fact that demons are no longer a threat to the Nine Heavens and humanity, the Demon Sealing n began to decline and grow weaker, yet the n refused to change and continued their tradition despite the change happening across the world."


    "A few higher-ups were fed up with the Demon Sealing n''s stubbornness, so they left the Demon Sealing n to create their own powerhouse, which is the Demon Sealing Grotto that functions more like a sect than a family, and they brought with them many prominent figures from the Demon Sealing n, hurting them even further."


    "However, despite our rivalry, both the Demon Sealing n and the Demon Sealing Grotto share the Grand Library. You can tell us apart from our uniforms."


    "Those wearing ck and gold are from the Demon Sealing n while those wearing ck and red are from the Demon Sealing Grotto. As you can see, I am wearing ck and red, so I am from the Demon Sealing Grotto."


    "Uhhh… I''m not sure. Can you give me some time to think about it since all of this is very new to me?" Yuan said after a moment of silence.


    "Of course. Take all the time you need. And I am not saying this to blow our own bubbles, but the Demon Sealing Grotto is currently far stronger than the Demon Sealing n. If you join us, we will forge you into a top-tier demon sealer."


    Sometimeter, Yuan returned to the stage when there was an opening to fight with an artificial demon.


    When the spectators saw this, they quickly went to watch Yuan fight the demon, but they became frustrated when Yuan did not use any demon sealing techniques for an entire hour even while being constantly mocked by the artificial demon.


    However, they did not want to leave, fearing that they might miss the action again.


    Unfortunately for them, Yuan fought until the end without using a single demon sealing technique.


    "Fuck! He''s definitely doing this on purpose!" The spectators were fuming by the end.


    If it weren''t for Wan Yu and the other lecturer''s presence, these people would''ve fought Yuan with nothing but their fists.


    Meanwhile, after he was satisfied with his practice, Yuan returned to Wan Yu and said to him, "I would like to learn some demon sealing techniques now. I came to this ce for this very reason, as well."


    "I understand. Follow me." Wan Yu nodded.


    As they walked, Wan Yu spoke, "Since you''re new here, you are only allowed ess to very limited techniques. If you want to learn more techniques, you will need to raise your demon sealer rank."


    "You can raise your rank by taking an examination that tests your demon sealing aura and your knowledge of demons. Since you have managed to sessfully seal an artificial demon, you''re considered an Apprentice Demon Sealer."


    "However, if I take into ount your demon sealing aura and your performance today, I would rank you as high as an Elite Demon Sealer, which is two ranks above apprentice. Unfortunately, you must take the exam before you can officially be considered as one."


    Yuan nodded and said, "I will think about the examter. For now, I will just look at the avable techniques."


    Sometimeter, Wan Yu led Yuan inside arge room that had multiple jade tablets ced around the room in an orderly fashion.


    "What is this ce?" Yuan asked.


    "You will understand once you take a look at the jade tablets," said Wan Yu.


    Yuan nodded and approached one of the jade tablets.


    "This technique… Demon Sealing Strike?"


    To Yuan''s surprise, the jade tablet had the Demon Sealing Strike engraved onto it.


    "That''s right. These jade tablets are the techniques, and anyone can learn them as long as they have ess to the rooms." Wan Yu said.


    Yuan didn''t say anything else and began looking at all of the jade tablets.
