After being reborn as an ugly cannon fodder, my appearance stats are off the charts!

Ning Fu brought Yan An to the core area of ​​Senluoling.

This place is different from the trial area outside.

At the very center is a tall and magnificent pavilion, surrounded by many lower buildings, showing signs of long-term human habitation.

In one of the houses, nineteen children were already standing in the open courtyard.

The oldest was only about thirteen years old, and the youngest was about the same age as Yan An.

Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman flew down from the pavilion.

Both were dressed in white; the man was fresh and handsome, while the woman had delicate features and arched eyebrows.

The woman was also holding a beautifully sculpted little girl in her hand.

Yan An looked closely and saw that the man among them was Wu Xiang, whom he had seen on the day his family was massacred.

Ningfu and the others had already knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Protector Jade Maiden!"

"I have seen the Formless Protector!"

On the day the family was massacred, after Yan An called out the name of the sect leader E Feng, Wu Xiang immediately knelt down to wait for him, and not on one knee.

During this time, Qin Wu was seen kneeling before Ning Fu, and now Ning Fu was kneeling before Wu Xiang and this unfamiliar Yu Gu...

It is evident that the Hidden Demon Sect has a strict hierarchy, where those below must kneel before those above and show utmost respect.

However, the interaction between superiors and subordinates is extremely arbitrary.

Children around her knelt down like Ning Fu and the others. When Yan An noticed this, she instantly blended into the group and did the same.

Yu Gu and Wu Xiang did not react.

Until the scene quieted down.

The atmosphere gradually became somber and chilling.

"Nymphs, you may leave."

Yu Gu looked at the remaining twenty children, no, including the one in her hand, making a total of twenty-one.

She pushed the girl forward. "Qingxuan, go."

"In the future, two of you will stand out. One will become the young demon lord of my Hidden Demon Sect, and the other will become the sect's holy maiden or holy son."

Yu Gu said calmly, "The rest of the people will be assigned to different halls, and they may become protectors of the sect in the future."

Wu Xiang interjected, "You should know that within our sect, the Young Demon Lord is second only to the leader. If he becomes the Young Master, all the other protectors, hall masters, commanders, and disciples must obey his orders."

Yan An could clearly feel that the breathing of more than half of the children around him had become somewhat rapid due to their excitement.

Wu Xiang smiled slightly and uttered four words: "Heavenly Demon True Technique—"

"From now on, you will practice this skill here."

"The Heavenly Demon True Technique has eighteen levels. Whoever cultivates to the tenth level first will become the Young Demon Lord."

"During this training period, you may spar with each other, but you must stop when you've made your point," Wuxiang said quietly. "If anyone wants to eliminate their opponent completely in private... then they must be smart and do it cleanly, and don't let me and Yugu find out... otherwise, they will be killed without mercy."

The children who can stand here can be described as ruthless among the ruthless, or capable among the ruthless. Suddenly, thinking of each other's existence, and that they are all competitors in their future, their eyes all turned unfriendly.

Even the children's eyes fell on the girl named Qingxuan, who stood out from the crowd from the start, wondering if she was one of those who had already been chosen.

……

The twenty children, excluding Qingxuan, were taken away by deaf-mute servants to wash, change clothes, treat their injuries, and eat.

Two hours later, in front of Wuxiang and Yugu were twenty-one children dressed in white with clean faces.

These children were all gifted and had excellent looks.

But among them, Qingxuan and a child named Murong stood out the most.

Yan An looked at the empty panel that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Appearance: 72 points (the human limit for appearance is 100 points)

In the modern world, this score would be considered equivalent to being the most handsome or beautiful person in your class.

But in this world where martial arts can be practiced, it's neither particularly rare nor amazing.

As for Qingxuan and Murong, judging from the aesthetic sense that Yan An developed from his own face in the previous world, they are both around 90 points, with Qingxuan being slightly higher.

Yan An felt that it would be great if he could maintain his score of 72.

This world is dangerous enough, but now he happens to be in the Hidden Demon Sect, making it even more dangerous. Being too beautiful is definitely not a good thing here.

Although reaching 120 points in appearance would grant him some special abilities, the question remains: will he be able to live to see that time?

Once your appearance score reaches 95 or higher, things might get complicated...

Yan An temporarily put these worries aside...

But he soon realized that it was just unnecessary worry!

……

Upon entering the first level of the Heavenly Demon True Technique, Yan An immediately felt excruciating pain all over his body.

When he woke up again, he found that his body seemed to have been scorched by invisible flames. Countless complex and hideous dark lines appeared on his skin from his face to his body. These lines were not static. They fluctuated with changes in cultivation, breathing and even emotions. It was extremely strange and terrifying.

Yan An calmly walked out of his room and saw that the other children looked exactly like him.

Most of the children seemed quite calm, except for two who strongly believed they had been poisoned and ambushed. They became extremely frantic and aggressive, even launching a surprise attack on the way to the yard, intending to kill the other children.

Yan An had noticed their condition long ago and had intentionally avoided their potential attack range while walking.

While observing coldly from the sidelines.

Two figures suddenly appeared, and two different hands appeared above their heads.

"I've said it before, if you want to completely eliminate your opponents, you have to be smart and not let me find out," the owner of one of the hands said with a smile.

They were no longer able to move, standing frozen in place, their bodies gradually becoming withered and shrunken... just like the way Yan An had seen his father die.

Yan An slowly raised his head and saw the faces of Wu Xiang and Yu Gu.

……

Nineteen black demon masks were laid out before him.

Looking at the ugly and terrifying appearance of Yan An and the others, Yu Gu remained unmoved. "This is how it is after entering the first level of the Heavenly Demon True Technique. It is a natural phenomenon that comes with practicing this technique. It will subside on its own after you reach the fifteenth level. There is no need to worry."

Wu Xiang then walked into a group of children, looked them over, and said, "Not bad, you have all entered the gate."

"The Heavenly Demon True Technique is the most powerful martial art in the world. To date, only the Sect Leader has reached the eighteenth level."

Wu Xiang suddenly coughed before continuing, "This technique has only one taboo: male practitioners must preserve their primordial yang energy, and female practitioners must protect their primordial yin energy... otherwise they will never make any progress in their lives, and their power will even decline, until they fall into mental obstacles and go completely insane."

Yan An's expression was a little strange.

Doesn't this mean you can't have sexual desires or have sex with someone?

In other words, everyone in the Hidden Demon Sect who has cultivated the Heavenly Demon True Technique, starting from the sect leader, is a virgin.

He realized that his current body was that of a congenital eunuch, which might actually be the most suitable for cultivating this technique...
