When he finished handing over the money to the clan, Zheng-Fu asked to leave first because he wanted to bring Dan-Chun-Gu along to increase his level. He ordered Dong-Kuang to select ten youths who had the potential for martial arts practice for him. Because in the upcoming maneuver, Zheng-Fu would not participate but would send ten kids that he would take to practice to compete instead.

In the courtyard in front of Zheng-Fu's residence...

"Young master, here are the ten potential kids you let me select." Soon, Dong-Kuang returned with ten children of mixed genders. Some were younger than Zheng-Fu, and some were the same age as him. The total number was ten, as Zheng-Fu had ordered.

"Umm… All of these guys are not truly the bloodline of the Tian-Tang Clan. But whatever it is, everyone is also part of the clan and is considered a clan member as well." Zheng-Fu spoke as he looked at the ten kids standing in a row, with puzzled expressions staring at him.

"Hey... What are you standing there for? Why haven't you rushed to greet Young Master yet?!" Dong-Kuang saw the ten children standing idle, disrespecting Zheng-Fu, so he raised his voice for the ten to regain their consciousness.

"Re... Res... Respect, Young Master!!!"

The ten immediately did as Dong-Kuang ordered. They did it because they were afraid of Dong-Kuang. They did not do it out of respect or any feeling for Zheng-Fu at all. And some of them even disliked him, for they had to bow down to him, who was a kid of his same age. Besides, all of them had never known, seen, or heard of Zheng-Fu before.

The only youth they always respected when they saw her was Tian-Qi, Mo Zi's daughter.

"It's alright, Brother Tong, don't scold them." Zheng-Fu raised his hand to stop Dong-Kuang before continuing, "I'm Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, Young Master that everyone was talking about. I don't know what kind of me you guys imagine, but this is me. Well, let's get started. The reason I brought everyone here is that I will train you guys to become stronger and become the Ten Young Demigods."

"Ten Young Demigods!!!?"

"What's it? Can I eat it?" asked a young girl with a questioning tone because she did not know what the Ten Young Demigods was.

"Just now, he said he was going to train us?"

"Is he really the one who was rumored back then? It doesn't seem as terrifying as the rumors have it."

The ten kids loudly chattered as Zheng-Fu finished speaking. No one knew what the Youngster Demigods were and did not understand their meaning. But Zheng-Fu did not think to explain anything right now. The first thing he had to do was to make these youngsters stronger. But before he got to that point, he had to show them first.

Bang!!!

All of a sudden, a large stone came from nowhere, even though it did not exist here before, exploding into pieces just as Zheng-Fu was stretching out his hand. And this scene was not so fast. Everything and every action was within the sight of ten kids.

Everyone was shocked, especially a kid who was the same age as Zheng-Fu, who seemed to disbelieve in him. His face was the palest, and he was the most shocked among the ten of them.

"Of course, all of you'll be able to do like me. But it's up to you to accept this training with me or not?" Zheng-Fu spoke as they all stood in shock, trying to regain the consciousness of the ten kids in front of him.

"I accept, sir, young master!!!" The voice of the girl who had asked earlier immediately agreed because this was a great opportunity for her. She was an orphaned child who lived with her mother alone before coming to the Tian-Tang Clan and being helped by the clan.

"Me too!!!"

"Me too!!!"

Then the rest of them agreed in unison without any hesitation, even a boy of Zheng-Fu's age.

Yeah... Yeah... Yeah...

"Since everyone has agreed, from now on until the clans' maneuver, you must come to stay with me here. And first of all, you must pledge allegiance to me and remain loyal to the Tian-Tang Clan and me forever."

"We solemnly swear that we will always be loyal to Young Master Zheng-Fu and the Tian-Tang Clan. If we ever consider betraying them, our family and ourselves will suffer the excruciating punishment of the heavens."

The voices of the ten youngsters who had vowed to be honest immediately sounded in unison. They were all saved by the Tian-Tang Clan, so they did not hesitate to take their vows to the clan. But to Zheng-Fu, it was because they had already seen how strong he was. And if this young master was willing to train them to become stronger, they would also agree to make an oath to him.

"Good! All the preliminary things are complete. From now on, you're part of my Ten Young Demigods Squad. But before you can train with me, you must first learn the basics. And that matter, I'd like to leave it to be the responsibility of Brother Dong. Well, after another week, come see me here again."

"Yes, sir, Young Master!!!"

Dong-Kuang then took the ten kids away to train their bodies to become stronger to support the level of strength that would increase in the future. If their bodies were not strong enough to take the energy, the result would be that their bodies might explode, or they would not be able to cultivate anymore in the future.

Therefore, Zheng-Fu had to let them train their bodies first, giving them a week to practice. He expected that within a week, these youngsters would have bodies ready to receive the energy of the Golden Core stage. But if not, they would have to train at the level they could first.

Three days passed. It was time for Zheng-Fu to take Qi-Fu-Er out of his dimensional space. However, Zheng-Fu was still in no hurry, so he first took a look at the mine to see how it was now.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

Wow!!!

"Not wasting my energy in vain bringing the mine here." As soon as Zheng-Fu arrived, he found that the mine was now filled with a large amount of monster crystal ore. Not only that, there were many other ores within the mine, whether it be Earth Iron ore, Water Reflux ore, Fire Magma ore, Storm Swirling ore, or Winter Frozen ore.

Zheng-Fu even danced a snake dance with joy, for these ores were all rare and expensive because of their own uniqueness. That was, they had properties that were suitable for making high-end armour or weapons. And not only could these ores make the armour and weapons of good quality, but they also allowed the users to gain passive elemental energies.

And if you cast those weapons or armour with the Monster Mind Mergence spell of the same specific element, it would increase their effectiveness even more.

"So, it can be concluded that, whether mine or the Immortal Cave, which was about to run out of production, if I brought them here, they would be able to continue producing. And it can also increase the level of both the mine and the Immortal Cave." Zheng-Fu spoke with satisfaction, stroking his chin before walking back out of the mine. But at that time...

Boom!!!

"W, what, what happened!?" Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded from outside, causing the entire mining cave to tremble. Zheng-Fu instantly rushed out to see what had happened.

Huh!!!

But suddenly, when Zheng-Fu reached the entrance, his face was filled with a lot of sweat because the explosion sound just now was the sound of Qi-Fu-Er and two fox monsters fighting.

"Zheng-Fu?" As soon as Qi-Fu-Er saw him, she shouted his name before ordering the two fox monsters to stop and rush toward him with a smile on her face.

"Huh… What are you doing?" As soon as the girl arrived, Zheng-Fu immediately asked.

"Me, Mian-Qi, and Ke-Lang are testing a new level of energy." The girl replied with a sweet smile at Zheng-Fu. The two fox monsters, as well, happily jumped around the girl before slowly walking towards Zheng-Fu and licking his face.

Brab!! Brab!! Brab!!

"Stop! Stop now!! Why do you guys like licking so much? All dogs must like to lick, right?" Zheng-Fu said as he pushed the two fox monsters away and wiped the saliva from his face.

Heheh...

"They just want to thank you; don't scold them." The girl laughed pleasantly before explaining the reason why the two of them licked Zheng-Fu.

"If they just want to thank me, they don't have to lick my face; they just raise one front leg in a pose of begging for a hand. That's enough. Or jump on two legs and move around."

Haah!!!

"Ha ha ha! They are monster beasts, not house dogs. What did this guy say!? They just lick a little. Why do you have to complain like that? Not as tough as a male."

"So, why does this matter have anything to do with being male? Or do you like being licked?"

Huh! Huh! Huh!

"You, crazy guy Zheng-Fu!!! Raunchy guy!!! You bastard..." The girl's face immediately turned red with embarrassment before raising her hand and slapping Zheng-Fu's face without him even realizing it.

Smack!!!

Agh!!!

Zheng-Fu's face immediately trembled as the girl's palm hit his cheek while he did not realize it. He was completely numb. Although her palm could not do anything to him, it caused him to feel quite a sting and numbness all over the part of his face that was slapped.

"Wh... Why did you slap me?" Zheng-Fu asked with wonder as he put his hand on his cheek that still stung.

"And what did you just say!?" The girl replied without looking at him as she was embarrassed by Zheng-Fu's previous words.

"I didn't mean that. (But actually, I think, hehe...) I mean, do you like to get them licking your face as they did it to me?" Zheng-Fu replied, pretending to show displeasure but secretly smiling in his heart.

"I don't care! You just said that yourself!!!"

Sigh...

"Alright, forget it. Let's say it's my fault... Well, it's been three days since I promised to take you back. So let's hurry up, and we won't be late for the dinner cooked by you." After finishing his words, Zheng-Fu immediately led the girl out of his space.

In the blink of an eye, both of them appeared in the guesthouse courtyard, along with the two fox monsters. The reason Zheng-Fu took them out was to make them play with the girl and Jin-Tian. And Zheng-Fu dared to let them all out because he had already cast the Protective Sealing spell on his residence.

Thus, the people outside the residence were unable to perceive the existence of the three beasts.

Unless someone who entered his inner area would be able to recognize them, even though they could not sense their energies, they could see them because Jin-Tian was two hundred and fifty metres tall, and the two fox monsters were two hundred and ten metres, and one hundred and ninety metres tall, which was already higher than humans anyway.

Having them in his residence like that also gave Zheng-Fu peace of mind and trust to go out and handle the Ten Youngster Demigods Squad's training. He would have no worries about the safety of the girl and his mother anymore. At least Jin-Tian was on the third level of the Immortal stage, and the two fox monsters were on the fourth and fifth levels of the Nascent Soul stage.

Most importantly, Qi-Fu-Er herself was already at the Nascent Soul stage as well.
