"That's all you need to know for the examination. You may begin now." Tang Zheng said to Yuan a moment later.
Yuan nodded, but he didn't immediately attack the artificial demon. As for the demon, it also won't attack Yuan until he makes the first move.
"What are you waiting for, little founder? The examination has already started." Yan Hara said to him.
"Umm… There's a good chance that I will break the artificial demon." Yuan said.
It was at this moment that Tang Zheng recalled Yuan's prowess yesterday that completely destroyed an artificial demon.
Although losing one artificial demon isn't a huge loss, they are not cheap either, and if they lose two artificial demons back to back in two days, the maker of these artificial demons will become annoyed at them.
However, before Tang Zheng could even say anything, Yan Hara spoke out loud, "Don't worry about breaking them! They're very durable and have the same regenerative ability as real demons, so no matter how you slice or dice it, you won't break it."
Of course, Yan Hara has no idea that Yuan had already destroyed an artificial demon just yesterday.
And she continued, "Even if you somehow manage to break it, we can easily get a replacement, so go ahead and break it!"
Yuan nodded his head and didn't say anything else.
He turned to look at the artificial demon with a calm gaze.
'I should try out the Demon Sealing Strike for the dagger.'
With this thought in his mind, Yuan summoned the Starry Abyss in its invisible mode and used it to attack the demon.
'An invisible dagger? It is also emitting the aura of a Soul Weapon… He can actually control two Soul Weapons at once?' Tang Zheng was greatly shocked by this new information.
He witnessed Yuan's Empyrean Overlord yesterday, and the fact that Yuan is using a different Soul Weapon today could only mean that he has multiple Soul Weapons, which is incredibly rare even in the upper heavens.
Whoosh!
The invisible Starry Abyss flew at the artificial demon and struck it directly between its eyes a split second later.
The artificial demon fell to its knees the next second and remained there, which puzzled the spectators, as they wondered why the artificial demon wasn't standing back up.
However, they would soon get their answer when the artificial demon began turning into stone at a rapid rate.
A few seconds later, the artificial demon was completely sealed.
"What in heavens' name…"
Everyone there except Tang Zheng was shocked to witness Yuan sealing a demon with a single demon sealing strike.
"As expected of our little founder… His demon sealing aura is quite ridiculous for someone at his level! Maybe he's really the reincarnation of the Divine Paragon…" Yan Hara mumbled to herself in a low voice.
Once Yuan sealed the demon, Senior Fu went to inspect the demon, and to her shock, the artificial demon was completely sealed, including its core, which renders the entire thing useless.
All artificial demons have a core that allows it to function and gives them their regenerative ability, and this core was specifically made to resist demon sealing aura so that it doesn't break everytime someone seals the demon.
However, Yuan's demon sealing aura had somehow managed to penetrate the core's defenses and sealed it alongside the demon.
"This artificial demon is no longer usable." Senior Fu announced the results to Yan Hara and Tang Zheng, who wasn't surprised at all.
As for Yan Hara, she was dumbfounded and amazed at the same time.
She has witnessed thousands of examinations, yet this is her first time encountering someone that has managed to destroy an artificial demon so thoroughly.
"Congratulations on passing your examination, Yuan. You're now officially an Advanced Demon Sealer!" Tang Zheng said to him a moment later, breaking the awkward silence.
"Thank you." Yuan said.
Even though the examination was a little too easy, at least he gets to learn more demon sealing techniques.
"Come with me, little founder. We're going to get you your new badge." Yan Hara suddenly grabbed Yuan and began pulling him away.
"W-Wait for me!" Senior Fu quickly followed.
Tang Zheng shook his head with a bittersweet smile on his face, and he also followed them.
Meanwhile, a new rumor began spreading around the Grand Library.
"Have you heard? There's a demon sealer who looks exactly like the founder of the Demon Sealing Clan, and he managed to destroy an artificial demon."
"Huh? The Divine Paragon? It must be an exaggeration."
"It's not. A lot of people have seen him, and they all agreed that he looks just like Divine Paragon, albeit a lot younger. They even gave him the nickname 'little founder'."
"I won't believe it until I see him with my own eyes. As for destroying an artificial demon, it's not really that impressive if you think about it. The artificial demons in the Grand Library are merely low-quality puppets. Most Elite Demon Sealers can destroy them if they try hard enough."
"It may not seem impressive because I didn't mention his cultivation. The little founder is only a Spirit Lord, and he just became a demon sealer not long ago. Hell, he just passed his examination and became an Advanced Demon Sealer."
"What? What is a Spirit Lord doing in the Grand Library? And he destroyed an artificial demon as an Apprentice Demon Sealer? Now I definitely don't believe you."
"Suit yourself. This information is already spreading throughout the Demon Sealing Clan and even the Demon Sealing Grotto. It will only be a matter of time before the higher ups set their eyes on him. Even though he's already joined the Demon Sealing Clan, it won't stop the Demon Sealing Grotto from trying to snatch him from them, as it has happened multiple times before already. I cannot wait to see where this goes."
While news of the 'little founder' spread, Yuan received his Advanced Demon Sealer badge.
"Little founder, why are you not wearing your uniform? I want to see you in the Demon Sealing Clan's uniform! Hurry up and change!" Yan Hara urged him afterward, sounding a little impatient for some reason.
