After the kids finished their eating, Zheng-Fu took them out to the courtyard with Dong-Kuang and Qi-Fu-Er as before. But more than that, Jin-Tian was lying outside waiting for them with its mother. And when it saw Zheng-Fu, it shook its tail and let out a faint growl.

Oh!!!

"High-level monster beast!!!"

The ten kids exclaimed in unison once when they saw Jin-Tian, for they had not seen it yet since entering here. That was because Zheng-Fu had taken it to the back of the residence to prevent anyone from seeing it. But it was here now because Zheng-Fu ordered it and its mother to come and wait for him. He had something for them to help.

"You don't have to be afraid. It doesn't do anything to you because it is…" Just as Zheng-Fu was about to say that Jin-Tian was Hu-Bai's son, he shut his mouth because its appearance was so different from its mother that it did not even look like a mother and child.

*What should I say? If I tell them that Jin-Tian is Hu-Bai's son, it would seem strange because Hu-Bai is still a jaguar tiger monster but this big cat...* Zheng-Fu thought hard and seemed troubled to speak, causing the kids and Qi-Fu-Er to look at him with a dazed expression, wondering what was wrong with him.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Just to say that Jin-Tian is Hu-Bai's son," the girl said with a confused expression. But the kids' faces suddenly changed when they heard that this high-level monster was the son of Hu-Bai, the guardian beast of the clan.

"Is it really Hu-Bai's child?"

"Why aren't they the same? In both their sizes and shapes, nothing is the same at all."

At that moment, the two girls' voices rang up in suspicion with puzzled faces. Because the two of them had played with Hu-Bai some time ago, they were somewhat familiar with Hu-Bai.

"Sigh... Just as you all heard... But that doesn't matter. I brought you out here to this courtyard to test your strength. Now, you guys should be able to feel the level of your energy increasing even more than before!"

"Yes!!!"

"Actually, I forgot about it. I just focused on food and was shocked by many things that happened until I forgot that my energy level had moved up. And it seems that my body feels lighter as well. At what level are we now?" A boy, about the same age as Zheng-Fu, spoke with a look of excitement, hopping here and there with joy.

Then the other kids began to explore themselves. Everyone had the same expression as the first one. They were both very joyful and thankful to Zheng-Fu for making them stronger like this.

But as they were all excited, Zheng-Fu spoke up, "Don't be so glad. Even if your level is higher, you'll not be able to use it to the best of your ability. That is the reason why I brought you guys out here."

Huh...?

"The reason you brought us here!"

"That's right... So that you can use your energy to the fullest and most effectively, you guys have to practice using it until you get used to it. And your training partner is Jin-Tian, that big cat." Zheng-Fu said as he pointed at Jin-Tian, who yawned beside his mother indifferently.

"Hah...!? Young Master, we have to practice with that high-level monster?" asked the boy who was the same age as Zheng-Fu.

"Yes. Practice with it. I'll give the ten of you one more week to practice. I hope that within a week, you guys will be able to balance your increased energy level and use it fluently." Having finished saying this, Zheng-Fu got up and turned to Jin-Tian, who was lying lazily before shouting, "You cat! Please stay here and play with them for a week!"

Grrrr!!!

Jin-Tian hurriedly stood up and nodded at Zheng-Fu, softly roaring as if smiling at him. And when it stood up, its body that was two and a half meters tall made the ten kids who were about a meter tall look much smaller.

"Y... Y... Young Master, will you have us fight with it... um... with him, sir?"

"No, I didn't let you fight with it. But a practice... Do you guys think you can fight it? Not at all. I let you train with that cat to practice fighting against the pressure. And besides, all ten of you can attack the cat with full force.

But be careful; it will hit you back," Zheng-Fu explained to the ten the reason he gave them practice with Jin-Tian for a week.

"And of course, Dong-Kuang will also be with you to train you in all the fighting skills to use in combating it. And if anyone is interested in any particular weapon besides sabres and swords, just tell me so I can prepare new skills for you."

"We can, Young Master?" It was the voice of the same girl who often asked, with her head down, not daring to look at him.

"Yes! But what weapon are you particularly interested in?" Zheng-Fu turned around to answer the girl with a friendly smile. The girl raised her head and said, "I... I like the musical instruments!!" When she finished speaking, the girl lowered her head again.

"Musical instruments? How about you guys?"

The rest of the kids also told Zheng-Fu which weapon they liked, and each of them had different aptitudes. Zheng-Fu arranged the teaching for everyone according to their aptitude, except for the girl who liked the harp and the boy who liked the flute. He did not know how to teach the two of them because he did not know anything about music at all.

So, Zheng-Fu had the two of them practice the basics first.

When finished managing everything, Zheng-Fu immediately asked to separate from the ten children and Dong-Kuang to go out with Qi-Fu-Er. He thought about going to In-See City to seek the scriptures or anything related to the two instruments for teaching those two kids.

"May I ask you something?" Qi-Fu-Er suddenly asked as they walked out of the courtyard.

"Huh...? Alright, what do you want to ask?"

"What is the word 'Ten Young Demigods'?" she asked with a puzzled look on her face because she had never heard the words before.

"Ha ha ha!!!" Zheng-Fu could not help but laugh since he had already thought that she would only ask him because no one in this world would know this combination word for sure. "It's like ten gods or ten devils, but it's a little bit different." Zheng-Fu gave an example, answering the girl, looking for a similar analogy.

"Oh... So, it's like that... You're always coming up with weird words, but I like it. It's cool in a weird way."

"Ha ha ha!!! Well, because it's unique, I named it like this... Let's go together!"

"Where are you going?!" said the girl with a puzzled expression on her face.

"In-See City... Are you going with me?"

"Yes!!! Go, go, go!!!" As soon as Zheng-Fu said that he would go somewhere other than within the clan, her face immediately changed to joyful excitement. She agreed immediately.

The two of them then set off in an instant. The journey from his clan would usually take three days to reach In-See City, but with their energy level, they could get there without any horses or vehicles in only half a day.

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

Half a day had passed, and they had finally reached the In-See City territory. As they approached the city, they both slowed their pace and adjusted their energy levels to blend in with the others so as not to create chaos in the town because of their high energy levels.

"Wow! This is In-See City? It looks really big!!!" the girl said, joyful with gleaming eyes and filled with excitement as she saw the In-See City in front of her.

"That's right, here is In-See City... Well, let's go inside!"

Finished speaking, Zheng-Fu reached his hand to grab Qi-Fu-Er's hand and immediately led her into the city without her even realizing it. But even when she had come to, she did not shake his hand away. She just let Zheng-Fu hold her hand and continued walking with a shy expression.

Passing through the In-See City Gate was not that strict. Just a little check was enough to pass through the city. And when they completed the inspection, both of them immediately entered the city.

"Wow!!! Look at that, Zheng-Fu... that! Those too! Aaa! This hairpin is so beautiful."

"Ah!!! This lady is very sharp-eyed. This hairpin was made of fine jade ore. It suits a very beautiful lady like you. If you're interested, I'll sell it at a special price of only two hundred monster crystal coins!!! How is it?

So cheap, isn't it!?" The merchant spoke up, rubbing his hands with a sly smile.

"Hehehe!!! Do you think to palm off on me? Don't dream of doing that in front of me!" Zheng-Fu suddenly let out a snort from his nose and raised his mouth slightly before speaking, "Hey, I think it's too expensive for this hairpin... And besides, it isn't made of jade. But it's a low-grade mineral stone that is green in colour, so it looks like the colour of jade."

…!!!

The merchant's expression immediately turned pale upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words. But when he saw that the person speaking was only a child, he suddenly smiled again before saying, "Kid!!! You know nothing. You accuse me that my hairpin isn't made of jade, but have you ever seen jade at all?

You make me look bad by saying this!" The merchant said with a fierce look, staring at Zheng-Fu as if to quarrel with him because of what he had just said.

"Ha ha ha! Accuse? Well, so, would you like to take this hairpin to the In-See Napa Auction House and have them check if it's really a hairpin made of jade... If it's made of jade, as you said, I'd be willing to pay ten times the price of this hairpin!" Zheng-Fu said with a smile on his face and lifted his head confidently.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. I'm just coming here, as well."

Suddenly, a community of snoopers arose. When they heard Zheng-Fu's arguing with the hairpin merchant, more and more surrounding people stopped to listen and started to look.

As for the merchant, when he saw that the number of people began to increase, his expression became even more distorted because if anyone found out that he was selling counterfeits, he would be unlucky because he had already deceived so many people.

"How's that? Do you dare take it to be evaluated at the In-See Napa Auction House to see if it is the real thing or not?" Zheng-Fu saw that the merchant was starting to hesitate, so he repeated it with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I... I..."
