The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 146 Branching Path - [Fraud], Mu Yun Visits

Lu Yan did not hold back and told the two of them the effects of the five secret techniques.

"Thornmail! I want this Thornmail!"

Yin Shuo made his choice immediately.

His principle is to prioritize survival, and the anti-armor armor undoubtedly meets his needs perfectly.

The mirror space is also good, but he is already a Gate Sequence transcendent and possesses similar abilities, so there is no need to repeat them.

On the contrary, Ning Ran, after some deliberation, chose the mirror space.

With this method, he shouldn't have to worry about hurting others if he loses control, right?

"You can come back to me to learn other things after you've mastered this one. There's no need to rush to choose."

Lu Yan shook his head and chuckled, then told the two how to cast the two secret techniques and the corresponding magical potions.

"It seems quite troublesome, completely different from yours."

After learning the details, Yin Shuo couldn't help but smack his lips.

When Lu Yan himself used it, he could simply flip through the manual and release the secret technique, so why was it so troublesome for them?

"My sequence is a bit special; you can't envy it."

Lu Yan shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help.

As a natural-born individual, even he lacked the intelligence to awaken a teacher.

Without awakening teachers, the subsequent sequence is naturally just empty talk.

"Oh well, I always throw in reels anyway, so throwing in a bottle now is just the same thing, it doesn't make a difference."

Yin Shuo didn't dwell on it too much. After all, he had gained an extra method outside the established order for nothing, so why should he be picky?

What's more, there's a special branch sequence waiting for him!

Lu Yan smiled slightly, his smile widening as he looked at the new notification that popped up on the panel.

【Second requirement for promotion to Professor of Arcane Arts: Successfully teach arcane arts to at least five people (2/5)】

Lu Yan was not surprised, after all, this behavior itself was in line with the origin of the word "teacher".

This leaves the professor of arcane arts with only the third condition yet to be revealed.

"It's slowly getting back on track!"

Lu Yan stretched, and a black inverted cross flashed in his eyes.

It's about time we dealt with those criminals.

Five days later, in the office of the fourth presiding judge.

Wan Zhuliu looked at the reports on the table with a solemn expression.

In the past few days, a series of bizarre cases have occurred in the college and even the shelter.

The unusual manner of death, the unpredictable deaths, and the killer with no clues.

Everything seemed so unusual.

However, after conducting his own investigation, Wan Zhuliu still discovered some clues.

The clues weren't about the killer, but about the victims.

Those who died laughing maniacally after sleepwalking in the early morning were almost all hidden followers of the evil god, including some who were messengers.

Some of the criminals who disappeared without a trace and were later found dead were actually criminals who had never been discovered by the court!

To him, these people were all people who deserved to die.

But this judge hiding in the shadows made him quite concerned.

It wasn't hostility, but concern.

Although he is stubborn, he is not pedantic and will not suppress others just because they are uncontrollable.

But the situation in the Primal Sanctuary is delicate now, and the timing of this Judge's appearance is truly too coincidental.

If it had been a few days ago, he would definitely have investigated further, but after Jiang Nandao revealed his plan, he found himself in a somewhat passive position.

"I hope it really will turn out as you wish~"

Wan Zhuliu sighed and continued to bury himself in dealing with other cases.

[Executioner Promotion Requirement 1: Uncover ten previously unknown criminals (10/10) - Completed]

[Executioner Promotion Criterion 2: Execute ten Sequence 6 criminals without anyone knowing (6/10) - Not Completed]

[Second condition for promotion to Lord of the Black Forest: Use the uncanny to kill ten Sequence 6 transcendents according to the rules (7/10) - Incomplete]

Inside the cultivation building, Lu Yan looked at the pop-up notification on the panel and nodded slightly.

In his spare time these days, he has also been active in various places, and the promotion requirements for each sequence have been raised considerably.

The first condition for the general promotion of the executioner has been successfully met, and the second condition is not far from being met.

Actually, the conditions for the Black Forest Lord and the Executioner are somewhat incompatible; after all, you can't expect someone who dies laughing hysterically to be unknown.

Fortunately, he has a mirror space.

He only needs to throw people into the mirror space, and then he can leave everything else to Yin Yang Gui to handle, making it a matter of no one knowing and saving him time and effort.

In addition to these gains, he also successfully acquired five portions of the power of the evil god.

Puppet Power*3, Death Power*2.

He combined the power of the three puppets into a single puppet essence and used it on the Ember Flame Bow.

His offensive capabilities in all aspects are not weak, but his ranged attacks are slightly lacking, so he naturally prioritizes making up for it.

Of course, he could also use extraordinary materials to force an advancement, but Lu Yan still wanted to see what kind of effect the Ember Flame Bow would have after it possessed spirituality.

As for the Moon Shadow used by the Shadow Executioner—it can only serve as a scout and bait for a while.

"I'm still missing one unit of death power. I'll go find another one tonight."

Lu Yan stretched, glanced at another progress bar on the panel, and dialed Yin Shuo's number.

In no time at all, Yin Shuo, who lived next door, rushed over, his eyes gleaming.

"Lu Yan—wait a minute! Young Master Lu, is my exclusive branch sequence ready?"

Lu Yan nodded slightly, then took out a scroll and wrote down the branch sequence he had just deduced in detail.

Yin Shuo was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, and would come over to check on him every now and then.

"Fraud?"

Yin Shuo was taken aback at first, then coughed twice, pretending to be embarrassed.

"Is this path not quite right for me? After all, in such a large academy, everyone knows that I, Yin Shuo, am of pure and good character."

Lu Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance upon hearing this.

This is supposed to be the original sanctuary, with pure and virtuous people? The grass on their graves is probably taller than a person by now.

However, Lu Yan was too lazy to expose him and tossed the completed scroll to Yin Shuo.

"Hurry up and awaken, this should greatly improve your overall combat strength."

"Okay!"

Yin Shuo grinned, but despite his words, he was quite confident in Lu Yan's development abilities.

Didn't you see that Ning Ran has obtained the military contract path, and most of the problems that had been troubling him before have been resolved?

It's unclear whether his method of deception or the method of military contracts is superior.

Yin Shuo's eyes darted around, and he said, "Hey Lu Yan, why don't you demonstrate for me? That way I'll have a better idea of ​​what to expect."

"Demonstration?"

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't I already demonstrating it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yan's body suddenly exploded, turning into a small king.

Yin Shuo was stunned by the sight, clearly unable to react to this sudden change.

If it were an illusion, then Lu Yan was just helping him write on a scroll.

If it were real, how did it suddenly turn into a card?

"I'm here."

At this moment, Lu Yan's voice came from behind him, his face full of mockery.

"You bastard Lu Yan, you actually dared to mess with me!"

Yin Shuo feigned anger and patted Lu Yan heavily on the shoulder.

With another "bang," "Lu Yan" turned into a card, the King.

The young man who had just appeared transformed back into Lu Yan, without even moving an inch.

"Is this the fraud scheme?"

Yin Shuo's eyes were bright, clearly quite satisfied with this branch path.

Such flexible and varied paths, combined with the door sequence that controls space, will definitely make it impossible for the enemy to defend against them.

Even now, he can disguise his spell scrolls as himself and wait for his enemies to come to him.

"more than."

Lu Yan smiled slightly, and Zhang Da Wang actually transformed into his appearance again, one on the left and one on the right, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.

Before Yin Shuo could discern the truth, the real Lu Yan emerged from the mirror space, snapped his fingers, and the two fake bodies simultaneously transformed into cards that returned to his hand.

"Depending on your mental strength and level of control, you could commit even more fraud, but that depends on you."

"Don't worry, this is something I'm an expert at!"

Yin Shuo grinned and hurriedly ran back to awaken.

Lu Yan opened the panel to view the newly displayed subtitles.

[The host has successfully completed a perfect deception. The con artist is in high spirits. Progress +10%]

As he expected, swindlers had to rely on deception to improve, but he didn't expect this to count.

"In that case, we'll have to trouble Yin Shuo."

"9

Lu Yan turned to look at Yin Shuo, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Just as Yin Shuo was about to leave, he suddenly felt a chill run down his back and couldn't help but shiver.

But when he looked back, Lu Yan had already returned to normal, and his eyes were still somewhat serious.

"Awakening on your own is too slow, let me speed it up for you~"

"Um—actually, I can do it myself—!"

The doors of the cultivation building slowly closed, and only the faint screams of Yin Shuo could be heard coming from within.

However, all of this reached Ning Ran's home on the other side.

"Did Yin Shuo also go to Brother Lu for help with his cultivation? If that's the case, I'll have to work even harder!"

Ning Ran nodded to herself, then tossed out a bottle of magic potion and opened the mirror space.

Then, the demonic fire within him was unleashed at full power for the first time, engulfing the entire mirror space.

With this, his strength can be improved rapidly!

three days later.

The doors of Lu Yan's cultivation tower slowly opened, and a weathered figure emerged from them—it was none other than Yin Shuo.

But at this moment, Yin Shuo's eyes no longer held their usual liveliness; instead, they were filled with endless numbness.

God knows what he went through in those three days!

Either Lu Yan dragged her to familiarize her with the [deception] path, or she replaced sleep with meditation.

Three whole days!

He hadn't slept a wink for the past three days, spending the entire time cultivating!

Although he successfully awakened Sequence 9 of the [Deception] path as a result, he felt no joy whatsoever.

There was nothing that could be done; it burned out.

-

However, he finally understood why Lu Yan leveled up so quickly and why his combat power was so strong.

This is a cultivation method that no normal person can endure!

"Yin Shuo, go back and rest for the night, we'll continue tomorrow~"

At this moment, Lu Yan poked his head out and arranged a time for them to cultivate together again next time.

[Sequence 7 - Master of Gamblers: 92%]

Although the effect of deceiving the same person will gradually weaken, fortunately, Yin Shuo cooperated enough to still manage to get most of the money.

However, the conditions for becoming a swindler have not yet been revealed, which is somewhat frustrating for him.

"Perhaps fraud alone isn't enough; it has to be a gambling game."

Lu Yan was deep in thought, considering whether to go to the fighting arena again, when his gaze inadvertently swept across the window and he was surprised to find a magnificent and luxurious aircraft parked outside the gate of his manor.

The aircraft's fuselage was gleaming and shiny, with a distinctive white cloud pattern printed on it that was exceptionally clear, appearing and disappearing in the sunlight, giving it an unusual texture.

"That's—Mu Yun?"
