<h4>Chapter 676: Too Easy</h4>
BOOM!
The ship suddenly began shaking violently for a second time, snapping Yuan out of his daze.
“Wow, this one is quite powerful. Did we encounter a powerful Sea Demon already? We’ve only been out in the sea for half a day.” Qin Kai muttered in a low voice.
The shakingsted a few more moments more than the previous time.

“Half a day…?” Yuan suddenly realized something, and he tilted his head to look up into the ceiling of the ship.
“Meixiu, Lulu, I won’t be logging off until I finish this trial. Please take care of everything until I am done.” He spoke to them in the spectators’ room.
“Who are you talking to?” Qin Kai also looked at the ceiling with raised eyebrows.
“Oh, I was just talking to myself.”
“What a weirdo.” Qin Kai chuckled.
Meanwhile, in the spectators’ room, Meixiu said to Chu Liuxiang, “I am going to log off. What about you?”
“I will stay here and continue watching Yuan in case anything happens.”
Meixiu’s eyebrows twitched slightly when she realized something.
‘She’s no longer addressing him as ‘Brother Yuan’… Did something happen between them?’
“Okay, then I will check up on you once in a while.”
Meixiu logged off shortly after to notify the other members that Yuan will be busy for a week.
“A week? What’s he doing inside Cultivation Online that requires so much time?” Wang Ming asked out of curiosity.
“He’s challenging the Stairway to Heaven right now.”
“Oh, I have heard of that ce. It’s where Cultivators go to ascend to the next world, right?”
Meixiu nodded.
“Alright. Training is going to be a bit boring without him, but it’s only a week. Thank you for letting us know.”
Everybody epted the news without much problem.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye for Yuan, who was constantly cultivating and looking through his memories.
The ship shook over a dozen times over thest two days, but the warriors hired by the ship had managed to deal with the Sea Demons without any problem.
Besides the shaking from time to time, Yuan’s trial has been very rxing— suspiciously so.
This made him wonder if the real trial was at the Giant’s Continent.
However, that peace would end soon.
“We havepany. Be alert.” Qin Kai suddenly said to him in a low voice.
Yuan opened his eyes to see a group of people that had the appearance of mercenaries slowly approaching their direction.
One look and anybody can tell that they were trouble.
Both Yuan and Qin Kai stood up.
“What do you want?” Qin Kai asked them with his massive arms crossed over his chest, looking very threatening and defensive.
The man leading the group smiled and said, “Is this the Huang Family’s room? We’re actually here for a business appointment.”
“Business appointment? Howe I didn’t hear anything about such a thing?”
“This is a very important and exclusive business opportunity for the Huang Family. Why would they let some bodyguards know about it?” The man scoffed.
Qin Kai looked at them up and down and smiled, “If you wear that kind of getup to a business meeting, I doubt it’ll work out for you. Let me save you all from embarrassment. Get out of my face.”
“Imprudent bastard. I gave you a chance to live, yet you willingly choose death.” The man and his group withdrew their weapons the next moment.
Qin Kaiughed and said, “Even if you manage to kill us and steal from the Huang Family, where are you guys going to hide? We’re in the middle of the sea. You’ll die way before you can return to the docks even if you fly.”
“Who said anything about hiding or running away? Once we deal with the Huang Family, we’ll seize control of the ship and take our time robbing the other passengers. Ships heading to the Giant’s Continent are always filled with wealthy people and loaded with treasures.”
“Do you idiots think you’re the first to rob the Raging Serpent? There have been countless attempts to rob this ce, and all of them never managed to return to thend.”
“Hmph! Enough talking! Get rid of them!” The man pointed at Yuan and Qin Kai as he ordered his group.
“Heavenly Domain!”
Yuan immediately used his domain to restrict their movements, but since they were all Spirit Lords, it couldn’tpletely seal their movements.
“This guy can use a domain! Let’s get him first!” The man shouted.
“If you want to get to him, you’ll have to get past me first!”
Qin Kai stood before the robbers and Yuan.
While Qin Kai distracted them, Yuan used the soundless de to kill them from a distance, killing many of the robbers before they even realized what was happening.
The battle was a one-sided ughter, and in just a couple of minutes, Yuan had managed to kill all of the robbers.
Qin Kai stared at him with wide eyes afterward.
“Ipletely understand why the Huang Family hired you now…” He mumbled in a dumbfounded voice.
“What are we going to do with these bodies?” Yuan asked a momentter.
“The cleaning crew will take care of them.” Qin Kai shrugged.
Yuan raised his eyebrows.
“It’smon for robbers to sneak onto this ship, and it’s alsomon for them to die.”
And sure enough, the cleaning crew arrived a few minutester to pick up the corpses and clean the blood, almost like they were used to it.
As for what they did with the corpses, they simply tossed them into the ocean for the Sea Demons to feast on.
After themotion, Huang Chen opened the door and asked them about the situation.
Qin Kai recalled everything that happened to him.
Huang Chen nodded with a satisfied face.
“Good job,” he said to them, but he was mostly looking at Yuan.
However, Yuan was feeling uneasy about how easy his trial has been so far. These robbers were just like the guards from the previous trial. They were only there to exhaust his spiritual energy before the real fight.
He can only imagine what the second trial has in store for him.
