I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast Chapter 167 161: Almost Forgot We're Still Students

Three past afternoon, hotel suite.

Jiang Hou sat on the sofa by the window, holding a thick stack of docunts in his hands, the sunlight streaming through the glass enveloped him, bringing a faint warmth.

As Jiang Hou was reviewing the docunts, Zong Zheng Nan Mo across from him spoke up, "Jiang Hou, did you know that Shentu Ni went to Dragon City?"

"I didn't know. I ca directly to Demon Sea after leaving seclusion. Why, did sothing happen?"

Zong Zheng Nan Mo nodded, "I heard that a powerhouse at headquarters, after watching the battle footage of the Yidu City Demon God invasion, beca very interested in Shentu Ni, or rather, his BGM."

"That powerhouse seems to have awakened in the Dharma Era. I wonder if he will accept him as a disciple."

Jiang Hou shook his head, "Probably not, but maybe they will foster him to see if there's anything they can glean from him."

Due to the 'awakening' reason, there are very few master-disciple relationships in the Extraordinary Realm, because even if the awakening is of the sa system, the inherited abilities and incomplete cultivation techniques vary greatly.

"By the way, Jiang Hou, a few days ago the class monitor posted in the group @, asking if we want to participate in the class reunion activity."

"... Class reunion activity." Jiang Hou was slightly stunned.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo nodded, "Yes, school-organized group activities for the Cyan Origin Festival Golden Week, a three-day tour of so mountain, and local ethnic programs."

"But I was in seclusion trying to break through to Tier Four, so I didn't respond."

"We almost forgot we are still students." Jiang Hou shook his head, refocusing on the docunts in his hands.

The docunts detailed how his father, Jiang Feng, enlisted at eighteen, retired with military honors four years later, then returned to school and got accepted into the country's top institution, Demon Sea University.

At school, he t Jiang Hou's mother, Wang Jiaqi, who was studying abroad.

After graduation, Jiang Feng joined a financial group, while Wang Jiaqi joined Tianfeng Biological Research Institute, working in the genetics research field.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hou narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because the Tianfeng Biological Research Institute involved in the docunts was secretly conducting Transcendent research, backed by three dium-sized Extraordinary Forces and over ten financial patrons.

Prior to this, the institute had been operating normally, but shortly after Wang Jiaqi's death, it suddenly closed down.

The three dium-sized Extraordinary Forces also fell apart.

More than ten years passed, and the dium-sized force known as Five Dragons dispersed, the Gale Force had soone break through to Tier Seven, becoming a top-tier force, expanding and becoming the now Wind and Cloud Group.

This was the sa force where Bai Qingyun previously invited Qin Siyu to be a 'star' mber.

Lastly, the one called Jiujiang beca semi-dormant, its developnt stalling over the years, with only a few ordinary Transcendent mbers left. If not for a Tier Six expert joining a few years ago, it would have been delisted long ago.

Though this force declined in the Extraordinary Realm, it thrived in the financial sector.

In the past, they leveraged business exchanges with so countries of the Western Continent Alliance, evolving into a large multinational group with assets near a billion in Demon Sea City, gaining significant fa.

However, with the Western Continent Alliance invading Abudan and Kammon, and souring relations with Dongqin and Bauhinia, the Jiujiang Foreign Trade Group was also affected.

What concerned Jiang Hou was the sudden closure of the institute shortly after his mother's incident.

Jiang Hou took out his phone and sent a ssage to Ruan Man, the intelligence minister of the Demon Sea Branch.

"Minister Ruan, please help investigate why the forces Five Dragons, Jiujiang, and Gale fell out and why Tianfeng Biological Research Institute closed down eleven years ago."

"No problem." The response from Jiang Hou was prompt.

This is the change in status brought by strength.

In Dongqin and even globally, the actions of Tier Seven powerhouses attract attention, though Jiang Hou's breakthrough was too quick, currently only a few people knew he had stepped into Tier Seven.

At the sa ti, his rank within Heaven's Punishnt hadn't had ti to elevate, including his mindset.

It didn't take long for Jiang Hou to receive a file delivered by the staff, but its content had little connection to Wang Jiaqi's death.

The disintegration of the three major forces was due to the years of laboratory investnt pouring in massive funds yet yielding little results.

A month before Wang Jiaqi's incident, the institute's director issued notices and files of impending closure, and the backing financial groups withdrew their support.

Clearly, Wang Jiaqi's death had nothing to do with the institute, causing Jiang Hou's brow to furrow slightly.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo hesitated, "Jiang Hou, should I help you calculate a divination tomorrow to see if the murderer is still in Demon Sea?"

Jiang Hou shook his head, "Don't waste it. You need to enter the ruins with the club president and others past midnight."

Zong Zheng Nan Mo's divination was strong but required sufficient information. Even if he calculated that Jiang Hou might encounter the murderer at night while going out, it wouldn't be useful.

Because Jiang Hou had no idea who the murderer was, he couldn't just see soone on the street and assu they were the killer.

......

Night, past eight.

The bustling Tianhong Square in Demon Sea, thronged with people, at the edge of the square, Zong Zheng Nan Mo and Jiang Hou walked out of a shop, each holding a milk tea.

Standing on the steps, Zong Zheng Nan Mo expressed so envy, "Why does Demon Sea feel much more prosperous than our Yidu, even though they're about the sa size?"

"Economics, simple."

Jiang Hou replied indifferently, "Demon Sea connects internationally, has robust economics, leading to advances in technology, culture, infrastructure, including education and dical-care being at the forefront globally."

"Such a scenario attracts talent and resources nationwide, teeming with vigor, everywhere there are opportunities for growth."

"Indeed." Zong Zheng Nan Mo nodded.

While they spoke, many people passing by from the lower steps were sneakily looking at the two, especially so girls boldly taking out phones to snap pictures.

During this period, with the strength enhancent and the tamorphosis of breaking through Tier Four, both Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nan Mo had undergone significant changes.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo, originally just over one-seventy in height, now approached one-eighty, his lean physique had gained so muscle, looking upright and stylish.

Alongside a face prettier than most won, his features had beco more pronounced, losing so of the delicacy but gaining a hint of masculinity.

Compared to Zong Zheng Nan Mo, Jiang Hou's physique was sowhat taller and gave off a suave and heroic impression.

A middle-parting black hair covering the ears, casually combed back, revealing the clearly contoured, fair face beneath, brows like swords, deep-set eyes.

Matched with the blood-red hair tips, an aura of nobility invisibly exuded from him, stirring so girls' hearts.

At this mont, three girls approached, among them Wang Qing who was t briefly in the morning, seed surprised, "Cousin, what a coincidence."

"Yeah, are you guys out shopping too?" Jiang Hou paused slightly before introducing, "This is my friend Zong Zheng Nan Mo, Zong Zheng, this is my cousin Wang Qing."

"Brother Zong Zheng." Wang Qing greeted politely, showing none of the arrogance of a wealthy second-generation heiress.

Zong Zheng Nan Mo smiled, "Hello, sister Wang Qing."

Just then, the cute girl on Wang Qing's left shook her arm, "Qingqing, don't just greet, you haven't introduced us yet."

"I didn't forget you, cousin, this is my friend Bai Qianqian, Li ngyao."

The girl nad Bai Qianqian, who spoke, appeared only fifteen or sixteen, wearing a blue and white princess dress with delicate hair ornants, very cute and sweet.

The other girl nad Li ngyao was about the sa age, but she was more beautiful compared to Bai Qianqian and Wang Qing, with black hair quietly draping over her shoulders.

After Wang Qing's introduction, Bai Qianqian sweetly shouted, "Cousin, Brother Zong Zheng, hello."

"Hello." Zong Zheng Nan Mo smiled and nodded.

While Jiang Hou looked towards the quiet girl, he was sowhat curious, "I have a classmate nad Li ngwu, the na is only a character difference. Do you know her?"

The girl standing quietly was taken aback, surprise showing in her eyes, "That's my sister."

"Li ngwu is your sister?" Zong Zheng Nan Mo turned his head, slightly surprised, not expecting to et a classmate's sister here.

At this mont, Bai Qianqian leaned closer to Zong Zheng Nan Mo, curiously, "Brother Zong Zheng, from your accent you're not from Demon Sea, are you?"

"Correct, we are from Yidu."

Bai Qianqian blinked her eyes, "Yidu, I heard people there have a great understanding of food, Brother Zong Zheng, is there any famous snack over there?"

"Uh... that I haven't really paid attention to."

"Brother Zong Zheng, were you and cousin coming to Demon Sea for tourism this ti?"

"More or less." Zong Zheng Nan Mo nodded.

"Many people who co to Demon Sea for the first ti often get duped, wasting a lot of ti at those internet famous spots." The cute girl exuded enthusiasm.

"Brother Zong Zheng, should I be your tour guide? I happen to have nothing to do these days."

"Cough cough!! Thank you, but no."

Speaking thusly, sowhat overwheld by the enthusiasm, Zong Zheng Nan Mo changed the topic, "Jiang Hou, don't we have sothing to deal with, should we head back?"

Although curious to see more, Jiang Hou still nodded in realization.

"I almost forgot."

"You all continue shopping, we have so business to attend to."
