Five days have passed since the end of the magic tide.

In the past five days, apart from the extensive reports about the heavy casualties inflicted on various exploration towns by the magic tide, many journalists have turned their attention to a figure within the Scarlet No.2.

The Hunter known as 'Yama', Yan Luo.

Once, Yan Luo was well-known for "killing a city-breaking level mutated creature with a mortal body," with many news reports covering his feats and name.

But in reality, Yan Luo was not an ordinary person at all; he found another way to enhance himself and possessed extraordinary power comparable to that of an Engraver.

Everyone was deceived by Yan Luo!

Many fans of Yan Luo, upon learning of this, immediately became infuriated and "unfollowed", becoming "Yan Hei", engaging in endless online arguments with the original fan community.

Those who knew Yan Luo but were not familiar with him were intrigued by him instead.

As it is widely known, Engravers are the only way on Blue Star to achieve extraordinary power; only Engravers can master magical power.

To become an Extraordinary and wield transcendental strength, one must become an Engraver.

Yet, Yan Luo has pioneered another path to grasp extraordinary power, making people inevitably curious about him.

Journalists from all over the world are trying to rush to the Scarlet No.2, conveniently timed when the magic tide has just ended, and the Abyss contains almost no demons, if any, only low-level ones.

During this downtime, the Abyss becomes the most convenient means of travel, with many passing through to reach the Scarlet No.2.

The first to arrive were undoubtedly reporters from the Spiritual Spring Daily; journalist Zhang Wen from the Scarlet Two Reporter Station immediately requested an interview with Yan Luo, but even until the headquarters reporters arrived in Lingquan City, Yan Luo did not approve the interview requests.

Subsequently, reporters from other cities arrived, all sent interview requests to Yan Luo, but unfortunately, the requests vanished like stones sinking into the sea, with no response coming back.

So much so that those reporters doubted whether Yan Luo was under some sort of control by someone or some organization.

In actuality, he was not.

No one or organization restricted Yan Luo's freedom; he simply did not wish to engage with those journalists, tossing their interview requests into the trash without even looking.

Sasa really wanted Yan Luo to go out for an interview, but she couldn't persuade him at all.

Furthermore, Sasa has been too busy to even contact Yan Luo these days.

The research team at Lingquan University has been studying the pile of meat produced by the bone-piercing bear, along with that Ruby.

There have been some research findings, but Sasa's communication was vaguely cryptic, leaving Yan Luo clueless about what they had actually discovered.

Apparently, they've discovered something significant, prompting Lingquan University to urgently dispatch another team of about ten to aid, forcing the Hunter's Guild to arrange a new dormitory building for them.

Yan Luo has been holed up at home, training his body within a gravity chamber.

After the battle during the magic tide, his absolute strength skyrocketed to 1.9 tons, almost capable of being compared to a Sequence 4 Engraver.

He doesn't even need to enter the Abyss; as long as he intensifies his physical training, unlocking the current body's potential, Yan Luo can surpass the Sequence 4 Engraver.

Yan Luo realized his own weakness during the magic tide; if he doesn't find a way to grow, he could easily perish within the Abyss.

Currently, he can battle against fatal-level demons in terms of power, but that's not enough—he needs to match city-breaking level demons.

Because of this, Yan Luo ignored all interview requests, tuned out the world, and focused solely on strengthening himself.

Unable to interview Yan Luo, the journalists had no choice but to interview the residents of the Scarlet No.2.

The ordinary residents answered their questions, but when journalists tried to guide them to denigrate Yan Luo, the Scarlet No.2 residents would promptly flip out.

The journalists were puzzled, unsure why such a situation arose.

Not just one or two local residents, but almost all of them did the same.

Does Yan Luo have such a reputation in the Scarlet No.2? What on earth did he do?

The journalists' keen news instincts suggested that there might be a big story here, prompting them to try every method to uncover the truth behind this matter.

Fortunately, the truth wasn't difficult to find; it was prominently displayed on the homepage of the local online community of the Scarlet No.2.

Apparently, Yan Luo can attract city-breaking level demons, so shortly after the magic tide began, he joined a group of advanced hunters to enter the Abyss, luring the city-breaking level demons away to battle them within the Abyss.

That's why the Scarlet No.2 was spared the destruction by city-breaking level demons, unlike other exploration towns which suffered significant damage.

The journalists recalled this detail and finally realized the difference between the Scarlet No.2 and other exploration towns.

In other exploration towns after the magic tide, many buildings had collapsed, even the roads were uneven, clearly having gone through a great battle, with many soldiers patrolling everywhere to eliminate demons that broke into the town.

Yet, in the Scarlet No.2, apart from the area near the Abyss Entrance, everything remained largely intact.

No wonder they were rejected by the local residents—it's because of this!

After the magic tide, Yan Luo became the hero of the Scarlet No.2. Be it hunters, ordinary residents, or even the stationed army, all held him in high regard.

Realizing that this was yet another newsworthy topic, journalists began contacting each other, gathering to discuss how they could write the story.

Of course, they wouldn't actually reveal their plans, just trying to get some ideas they could reference from each other.

Yan Luo avoided all interviews, angering and yet somewhat relieving the journalists.

They were angry because he dodged interviews, relieved for the same reason.

They themselves could not interview Yan Luo, obtaining no first-hand information, but luckily, neither could anyone else.

Each journalist had their own thoughts, noticing they couldn't interview Yan Luo, and Yan Luo was closely related to many in the Scarlet No.2, they decided to interview other people.

Using the excuse of "clearing Yan Luo's name," they interviewed hunters and ordinary residents in the Scarlet No.2, gathering many surprising stories.

Now many people know Yan Luo can enhance his body by hunting demons, but his method of enhancement is unknown outside.

Through interviewing hunters, journalists learned that Yan Luo uses demon blood to saturate his body, absorbing the faint magic power through the skin to achieve body enhancement.

Yan Luo was able to find such a peculiar method due to his first hunt within the Abyss.

At that time, he was a complete ordinary person without any enhancement, facing a fatal-level demon alone, finally killing the demon at great cost but himself severely injured. Fortunately, by providence, Yan Luo hid himself inside the demon's body, destroying its heart to kill the demon, thus demon's blood sprayed over him, almost soaking him in the blood.

Yan Luo turned disaster into fortune, not only recovering from his injuries but also discovering the body enhancement method.

It is said, if Yan Luo can continuously hunt demons, absorb magic power through demon blood, and convert it into physical stamina, he can fight continuously for over ten hours.

Additionally, many hunters mentioned that Yan Luo made a fortune this time because he acted as a bait entering the Abyss, helping advanced hunters to hunt city-breaking level demons, and since those demons were killed within the Abyss, materials from them were dropped, allowing Yan Luo to earn a portion of money.

Actually, this was the news that pleased the journalists the most; everyone loves to hear stories of overnight wealth, especially since Yan Luo also became the hero of the Scarlet No.2.

Who wouldn't love a story of fame and fortune?

So before long, news reports about Yan Luo suddenly emerged, with many articles praising him, highlighting how Yan Luo might become a billionaire this time.
