Sometime later, the first group entered the Demon Sealing Zone and waited for Yuan to unseal the demon.

Once it was unsealed, the demon looked around in a calm manner. However, that calmness quickly went away when it saw Chu Liuxiang and the others surrounding it.

"What is the meaning of this?" The demon spoke in a grim voice.

"They are demon sealers, and they will be sealing you, demon." Yuan said.

And he continued, "You are currently within the Demon Sealing Zone, so don't even think about escaping. Of course, you could kill yourself with Core Detonation."

"However, if you accept my request, I will set you free."

The demon narrowed its eyes on Yuan, who was wearing a mask. It then turned to look at the others there.

"What is your request?"

"It's quite simple, really. I want you to fight these demon sealers for the next 7 days. If you can do that, I will set you free."

"What if I kill them?"

"You can try, but it won't happen." 

"If I can kill them, will you let me free early?"

"Sure." Yuan calmly nodded.

"Perfect." A malicious grin appeared on the demon's face.

The demon sealers and the demon clashed with each other shortly after.

The demon sealers expected to quickly overpower the demon, but they soon realized that would not be the case, and the demon was able to defend itself and counter attack at the same time.

Compared to the last demon, it was at least twice as hard, and it would take them thrice as long to seal the demon.

Of course, none of them would end up unscathed. Most of them left the Demon Sealing Zone with bruises. In fact, all of them had experienced near-death situations more than once during their fight.

"Holy shit… How can three levels make such a huge difference? We could barely keep up with the demon this time…" Wang Ming exclaimed as he laid on the floor, his body soaked in sweat.

"I don't think we'll be able to fight the demon more than once a day," Chu Liuxiang said while gasping for air.

"How long did it take to seal the demon? It felt like an eternity," Xi Murong asked.

"Two hours and eleven minutes." Wang Bingbing said.

"Two hours?! It only took us 30 minutes to seal the last one!" Hong Xiuquan exclaimed.

Shortly after the first group finished, the second group entered the Demon Sealing Zone and started fighting the demon.

In the end, it took them a little under two hours to seal the demon.

"One hour and fifty one minutes." Wang Ming said to them.

"I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but to think it was that much harder…" Wang Bingbing sighed.

Yuan approached the exhausted demon sealers and said to them, "At this rate, you won't be able to seal the next demon. Therefore, I will be teaching all of you new demon sealing techniques."

"Oh? How many?" Wang Ming asked out of curiosity. 

"I have three demon sealing techniques for each of you."

"Three?!"

Yuan nodded, "It might take some time before you're able to use them, but that's not the real purpose. I want you all to increase your demon sealing aura. It's taking all of you too long to seal the demon, and you're in a group. At this rate, it'll take you an entire day to seal the demon by yourself."

"Anyways, line up. I will give you these techniques now."

Thus, everybody there began lining up in front of him.

Sometime later, Yuan transferred three demon sealing techniques to each of them.

"Everyone here besides Jinxi can leave for today. You can also take tomorrow off to study these new techniques. Since I transferred the techniques directly into your mind, you'll be able to comprehend it faster than normal."

Once everyone but Li Jinxi left, Yuan said to her, "Whenever you're ready."

Li Jinxi nodded and entered the Demon Sealing Zone.

The moment Yuan released the demon, Li Jinxi activated her nameless technique.

"Just one of you this time?" The demon grinned when it saw Li Jinxi.

However, despite only facing Li Jinxi, the demon did not underestimate her. In fact, he knew at a glance that she was the strongest out of everyone it's faced today.

The two of them began exchanging blows shortly after.

Li Jinxi easily overpowered the demon in terms of raw strength and speed, but that did not last long.

After 10 minutes of dominance, Li Jinxi could no longer control the nameless technique and began experiencing a backlash.

However, despite feeling like her muscles were being torn apart, Li Jinxi continued to fight the demon for a couple more minutes until she could no longer lift even a single finger.

"You're mine!" The demon laughed as it lunged forward at the unconscious Li Jinxi.

"Maybe next time." Yuan suddenly appeared behind the demon with the Empyrean Overlord in his grasp.

'What?!' The demon didn't notice Yuan's presence until it was too late.

Its body immediately began turning into stone.

'All it took was a single strike?' The demon stared at Yuan in disbelief as it completely turned into stone.

After sealing the demon, Yuan carried Li Jinxi into her room and began massaging her body.

Two days later, the training resumed.

This time, it took the first group only an hour to seal the demon while the second group took around 50 minutes. It was a drastic improvement that nobody there but Yuan had expected.

This continued until the seventh day, where it would take both groups only 15 minutes to seal the demon.

As for Li Jinxi, she was able to use the nameless technique for 20 minutes straight.

"Great job, everyone. It appears that you're all ready for the next demon." Yuan said to them after their training.

"What are you going to do with the demon now?" Wang Ming asked him.

"I'm going to 'free' it, of course." Yuan responded with a calm smile on his face, causing everyone to swallow nervously.
