A moment later, the shadow slowly disappeared, only to suddenly reappear.

This cycle repeated three times until it finally disappeared completely...

After the shadow disappeared, Jiang Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"he……"

Seeing Jiang Quan's reaction, Ling couldn't help but ask.

"He is a demon."

Jiang Quan said calmly.

"Demons?"

Ling was taken aback when she heard Jiang Quan's words.

Demons? How could demons appear here, and in such a place?

"Aren't you surprised? We were all surprised when we first discovered his existence. But it's a long story, and if you want to know more, we need to sit down and have a good talk."

Jiang Quan looked at Zero and said.

"Okay, let's go back to the training room first."

Zero nodded in agreement.

After the two returned to the training room—

"I also learned about this underground base by chance. It was said that there was a giant demonic beast there. It was about ten times the size of an ordinary wolf, and its muscles were unusually hard, its strength was formidable, and its speed was extremely fast. It would absorb the surrounding elemental power to become stronger and even more powerful. If it were an ordinary human, it would probably have been torn to pieces by now. But we are spiritual cultivators, and we can use spiritual power to resist it. Although it was very powerful, we defeated it and established a base here."

Jiang Quan stopped talking at this point.

Zero looked at him, a look of doubt in her eyes:

"A magical beast, a demon... Was that shadow you just mentioned the giant magical beast?"

"It's a demonized beast, not a magical beast. There's a difference between a demonized beast and a magical beast..."

Jiang Quan corrected him.

What's the difference?

He asked subconsciously.

"Do you still remember what I looked like when we fought before?"

Ling nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"At that time, I used 'Demonic Transformation'. In Demonic Transformation, my defense and attack power would be greatly increased, and my speed would also increase. Of course, that state could not be maintained for too long, and after Demonic Transformation ended, my body would be weak for a period of time."

Jiang Quan explained.

"No wonder you ran away in such a hurry later."

Zero represents understanding.

"That shadow just now, unlike my demonic state, could control its state on its own. That's what demons are like."

Jiang Quan continued.

"However, over the years, the demon race has gradually disappeared, and it is extremely rare for them to be able to maintain their human form and appear here."

"Then what's wrong with his eyes?"

"Well... that's why I asked you to avoid it."

Jiang Quan paused for a moment, then continued:

“I don’t need to say anything; you should already know that I have an organization behind me that studies various species. They study not only spiritual practitioners but also other species. That shadow was one of their research subjects… However, an accident occurred along the way, causing him to lose his sight. That’s why he was returned to this place, and he’s also used as a training subject…”

As Jiang Quan spoke, he looked at Zero:

"Having failed in the experiment, he possesses neither human intelligence nor emotional intelligence; he only knows how to kill and devour. Therefore, it's best not to disturb him..."

After listening, Ling nodded as if he understood.

"By the way, what about the life monitor? Did you get it?"

Zero suddenly remembered something and asked.

"No... I ran into him when I was on my way there, so I came back."

Jiang Quan shook his head, a look of frustration on his face.

“He’s guarding this side, I can’t get over.”

Is he very strong?

Upon hearing this, Ling suddenly blurted out a comment.

"What?"

Jiang Quan was puzzled for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and shook his head repeatedly, saying:

“No. Although you are very powerful, he is different. He has been modified through experiments and can change his form at will. I don’t have any inhibitors right now, so I can’t match him.”

"Inhibitor?"

"The inhibitor is a drug that suppresses the restless cells in his body. As I mentioned before, he is an experimental subject. To ensure his safety and prevent him from harming those around him in a fit of rage, we inject him with inhibitors before training to prevent him from going berserk."

Jiang Quan explained.

"Moreover... the fact that he ran out like this means that the device restricting his movement has been damaged, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed out so recklessly."

Jiang Quan continued to explain.

"So...do you think the remaining people might die at his hands?"

Zero suddenly had another guess.

Those people clearly died from knife wounds, but the others were nowhere to be found in this training base, which is why Zero suspected that they might have been killed or eaten by that giant demonic beast.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Quan pondered for a moment.

Then he nodded and sighed:

"We can't rule out that possibility either. In any case, let's stop our exploration of this underground training base here. Beyond that is where that person is staying, and there's no other information..."
