Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

Late at night.

Chen Xing lay on the hard bed.

Without turning on the lights, I stared at the ceiling with my eyes open.

My father's words echoed in my ears again, deep and powerful:

"Only by staying alive can you kill more demons and go further."

Alive.

These two words are taken for granted in peacetime.

In this world, however, one must strive with all one's might.

Luxury goods to be defended.

The mother gave her life to ensure the father's survival.

His father traded half his life's blood, sweat, and wounds for him to "live".

And now, it's his turn.

The system's path to enlightenment is proven through slaughter.

He now has a more concrete anchor point in his mind.

……

"dad……"

He meditated in his heart.

"Just wait and see."

At four in the morning, all was quiet.

Even the roars of beasts outside the wall seemed distant.

Chen Xing sat up silently, without disturbing his father who was sleeping soundly next door.

He walked to the window and opened it.

The cold air rushed in at dawn.

It carried the lingering, bloody scent unique to the wilderness.

But it also gave him a boost of spirits.

"Five days..."

He muttered to himself.

The gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of buildings and high walls of the deep city.

They headed further north.

Deeper into the more dangerous wilderness.

As dawn broke, we continued our journey out of the city.

In these last five days before the college entrance exam, he was determined to carry out the killing to the very end.

Kill points must be accumulated!

The Vajra Indestructible skill must be at least at the minor level of mastery.

If possible, we should even strive for mastery!

As for those three SS-rank...

There was no fear in Chen Xing's eyes.

Only a burning fighting spirit and an almost unwavering confidence remained.

See you on the college entrance exam.

……

It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

A thin mist enveloped the old neighborhood.

Chen Xing changed into a clean combat uniform.

A backpack containing supplies and medicine was carried on his back.

Finally, I grasped the one covered in cracks.

Yet, it was a C-grade black iron rod that faintly exuded a fierce aura connected to his own.

The cracks were left from yesterday's fierce battle against the Rat King, but they also seem to have become a kind of medal.

He pushed open the unit door and walked steadily down the stairs.

I just stepped out of the building.

A figure suddenly darted out from the side of the green belt.

It startled the old man who was out for his morning walk.

"Brother Xing! Good morning!"

Lin Moyan had dark circles under his eyes, caused by unhealed internal injuries and possibly from repairing the piano overnight.

But he was surprisingly energetic.

He carried the guitar with its strings that had been tightened again.

He even polished his worn-out wooden guitar until it gleamed, grinning from ear to ear.

"Where shall we go for a wild rampage today?"

"My guitar strings are itching for a break!"

"The newly replaced 'dragon tendon strings' are said to be able to withstand even stronger sound wave infusions!"

Chen Xing glanced at him.

I've gotten used to his super-energetic state:

"Deep in Blackrock Canyon. Near the lair of that rat king from yesterday."

"There should also be its own kind or other demonic beasts that it intimidated."

"Go clean it up, and see if there's anything else you've found."

"Cut the weeds and wipe them out completely? Confiscate their property and exterminate their entire family? I like it!"

Lin Moyan's eyes brightened even more, and he rubbed his hands together.

"Brother Xing, your methods are getting wilder and wilder!"

"But I like it! Let's go now..."

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

His gaze passed over Chen Xing and looked towards the entrance of the residential area.

His expression became somewhat...strange.

Chen Xing also sensed something and turned around.

At the entrance of the residential area, shrouded in morning mist, a tall, aloof figure stood quietly.

She was wearing a plain white practice uniform.

Wear a light, long gown with an ink-wash style over it.

Her long, flowing hair, like a waterfall of ink, was simply tied back.

Her long, fair neck was exposed.

Her temperament was as aloof and elegant as a solitary orchid under the moon.

It stands out starkly from this dilapidated old neighborhood.

It is Xia Qingyun.

Her deep blue eyes looked over calmly.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

"I said it,"

Xia Qingyun's voice was clear and melodious.

The message spread through the quiet morning: "Next time, you can call me."

Chen Xing looked at her and remained silent for a second.

He didn't expect Xia Qingyun to be waiting here so early.

Moreover, it was done in this way... by directly joining.

However, considering her S-level [Ink and Wash Painting] talent...

And the reliability and decisiveness hidden beneath that cool exterior.

Chen Xing quickly came up with a plan.

Multiple powerful ones.

Controllable teammates.

Moreover, it is an S-rank creature with special crowd control and area-of-effect attack capabilities.

This will only benefit the high-intensity hunting that follows.

He nodded and replied with only one word:

"Walk."

Xia Qingyun's cool lips curved slightly, almost imperceptibly.

He strode over with his long legs.

Her steps were light and steady, seemingly not fast.

But in just a few steps, he reached the two of them, bringing with him a faint scent.

Like the elegant fragrance of ink when a traditional Chinese ink painting scroll is unfurled.

"Holy crap..."

Lin Moyan then

"The Highest-Ranking Flower of Shenzhen No.1 High School"

"The only daughter of the Xia family in Shenzhen"

"S-level ink painting artist Xia Qingyun actually came to this old, run-down place early in the morning to wait for Brother Xing to team up with her."

He snapped out of his shock.

He looked at Chen Xing, then at Xia Qingyun.

The expression on his face was priceless.

Finally, it turned into an extremely excited state of watching the show.

"Three S-class heroes! Their first-ever collaboration! A historic moment!"

Lin Moyan lowered his voice excitedly, but the excitement in his tone was almost overflowing.

"Brother Xing is the main attacker, Goddess Xia provides crowd control and support, and I'll use sonic harassment and buffs!"

"With this lineup, we could easily raid the lair of a third-tier monster, let alone Blackrock Canyon!"

Xia Qingyun glanced at him indifferently.

There was no emotion in his deep blue eyes.

But what he said made Lin Moyan's smile freeze:

"Don't hold us back."

Lin Moyan: "???"

"I'm an S-rank, after all!"

"Without my 'Broken String Requiem,' could Brother Xing have turned the tables and killed the Rat King?"

Lin Moyan was not convinced.

Xia Qingyun's gaze fell on the guitar in his arms.

She glanced at his still somewhat pale face again, but said nothing.

But his eyes clearly said...

"I know, but you're still the weakest one."

Lin Moyan: "...₍ꐦ -᷅ ⤙ -᷄ ₎꧞"

Chen Xing was too lazy to pay attention to the unspoken confrontation between the two.

He had already started walking towards the north gate.

"I'm gone."

Lin Moyan and Xia Qingyun exchanged a glance, then followed.

Three young figures stood facing the rising sun.

Walk through the gradually awakening streets of the deep city.

They disappeared into the thin mist leading to the north gate.

Wherever they went.

Early risers cast curious glances their way.

Envious glances and hushed whispers followed.

"It's Chen Xing! And Lin Moyan! And the other one is... Xia Qingyun?"

"Three S-class ships leaving the city together?!"

"My God, this is going to be big!"

"Shenzhen is really going to take off this year!"

The three of them moved without the slightest hesitation.

Almost at the same moment.

Throughout the Dragon Kingdom, geniuses chosen by fate.

They each began their new day's journey.

Deep within a historical site in Kyoto, designated as high-risk.

A person dressed in black.

The boy, with an expression as cold as ice, slowly ascended from the third rank.

A blood-soaked fist was pulled out from the shattered skull of the massive rock-armored earth dragon.

He shook the blood off his hands and looked up towards the south.
