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

Chen Xing put away his phone and stood up.

I quickly washed up and changed into a clean black training uniform.

Then I went out again and turned left.

Walk through the small bamboo grove and head towards Villa No. 6.

This time, the garden in front of Villa No. 6 had clearly been roughly tidied up.

Although the charred burn marks are still there, at least some of the trampled flowers and plants have been straightened.

The villa's gate was wide open, and Lu Ya's unrestrained laughter echoed from inside.

And a woman's voice as melodious as a wind chime.

Chen Xing stepped into the living room.

The glass wall he smashed yesterday has indeed been repaired to its original condition, but the messy style of the house remains.

On the sofa, besides Lu Ya, who was wearing his ever-present floral shirt and beach shorts, there were two more people.

A young woman, probably nineteen years old.

She was wearing a long red dress, the hem of which only reached mid-thigh.

It perfectly showcased her pair of fair and slender legs.

Her legs were so perfectly proportioned that it was impossible to look away, and she wore a pair of exquisite black ankle boots.

She was stunningly beautiful with fair skin.

Her features were exquisite, especially her pair of captivating eyes, which sparkled with life. At that moment, she was smilingly sizing up Chen Xing as he walked in.

Her aura... had actually reached the upper level of the third realm!

They even faintly touched the threshold of the peak!

Beside him was a young man in his mid-twenties.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his face was resolute and upright, and he wore a well-tailored dark blue outfit.

His posture was upright like a pine tree, and his temperament was calm and reserved, like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath.

His gaze toward Chen Xing was gentle, yet tinged with scrutiny.

There was no malice intended; it was merely a subtle mutual recognition among fellow disciples.

His aura was even deeper and heavier, like a calm deep sea, clearly indicating that he was at the middle level of the fourth realm!

Upon seeing Chen Xing enter, the woman in the red dress was the first to jump up from the sofa.

In just a few steps, he darted in front of Chen Xing, almost touching him.

Her bright, almond-shaped eyes scanned him up and down, and she uttered an undisguised exclamation:

"Wow! Junior brother! We've finally seen one alive!"

"He looks way cooler than in the recruitment videos and battle footage!"

"That height, those muscle definition, those eyes..."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder he's the national champion who could solo-kill a mid-tier third-level Shadow Leopard!"

She extended her hand confidently, her smile radiant, her voice clear and melodious:

"My name is Jiang Yunxi, I'm a sophomore, and I have an S-rank talent called [Crimson Flame Body]."

"The previous champion of the Kuandong Province Martial Arts Examination (although it wasn't a national competition~) was your senior!"

"From now on, you can call me Sister Yunxi or Senior Sister! (✪ω✪)"

Chen Xing reached out and shook her hand; it felt warm and delicate to the touch.

But one could sense the astonishing power contained within: "Chen Xing, hello Senior Sister."

"Mo Yu, junior."

The young man in the dark blue outfit also stood up and walked up to Chen Xing.

He nodded slightly, his voice calm.

"If you encounter any trouble at Wuhan University or during missions in the future, you can contact me."

His tone was flat.

But Chen Xing could sense the sharpness and reliability beneath that calm exterior—

This is a story that has truly been tempered by fire and blood.

A senior brother with formidable strength.

"Hahaha! How about that? My eye for students is pretty sharp, isn't it?"

Lu Ya, legs crossed, flip-flops swaying back and forth, a cigarette dangling from his mouth (still unlit), smugly showing off.

"Yun tide, the top scorer in the previous provincial examination, possesses the Crimson Flame Physique and is a master of playing with fire."

"Mo Yu, a junior, has consistently ranked in the top three on the 'God of War' list, his combat skills are undeniable."

"Now there's another little monster, Chen Xing, with the Battle Saint Body and the national champion!"

"Tsk tsk, our sect will be the face of the Shenzhen Martial Arts Academy from now on! Let's see who dares to say I'm just a playboy who doesn't do anything productive!"

Jiang Yunxi smiled and took out a palm-sized object from her personal spatial bracelet.

An exquisitely crafted jade box, carved with flame patterns, was shoved into Chen Xing's hands without a word.

"Junior brother, this is a gift from your senior sister, a token of our first meeting!"

"I've been saving up materials for a long time to make the fourth-grade elixir, 'Fire Spirit Tempering Pill'."

"It was refined by that old-fashioned man at the Alchemy Academy; it has miraculous effects on cultivating fire-based techniques and tempering the physical body!"

"Don't think it's shabby!"

Mo Yu then took out a palm-sized, dark gold piece.

The scales, gleaming with a faint metallic sheen and exuding a heavy feel, were handed to Chen Xing:

"The reverse scale of the fourth-tier lower-level demon beast 'Golden Armored Earth Dragon' is hard in texture and contains dual metal and earth elements of energy."

"You can find a weapon refiner to melt it down and incorporate it into your Dragon Spine Staff."

"It should be possible to upgrade its grade from C-grade superior to B-grade, and also add some armor penetration and sturdiness effects."

Chen Xing took the jade box and the scales, and could feel the pure fire energy and sharpness contained within them.

He felt a warmth in his heart and developed a greater liking for these two senior brothers and sisters he was meeting for the first time.

He clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister; thank you, Senior Brother."

"We're family, no need to be so polite!" Jiang Yunxi waved her hand, her smile bright.

Lu Ya seemed to suddenly remember something and casually asked:

"By the way, kid, did you look at those two cultivation techniques I gave you yesterday, the Nine Forms of Burning Heaven and the Thunderous Breathing Technique?"

"Is there anything you don't understand or find awkward?"

"Since your senior sisters and brothers are all here, and they've been through this before, they can give you some advice to save you from taking the wrong path."

Chen Xing glanced at Lu Ya.

She then looked at Jiang Yunxi and Mo Yu, who were also looking at her with encouraging and curious eyes.

He gave the answer in a calm tone:

"You've already gotten the hang of it."

"..."

The living room fell into a deathly silence.

Jiang Yunxi's smile froze, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes widened in shock.

A hint of surprise appeared on Mo Yu's usually calm and composed face.

This time, Lu Ya really couldn't hold the cigarette in his mouth.

It fell with a thud onto his flashy beach shorts.

"What...what did you say?"

Lu Ya suddenly sat up straight, his eyes always carrying a cynical smile.

At this moment, his eyes were sharp as a knife, fixed intently on Chen Xing.

It was as if they wanted to see right through him, inside and out.

"Introduction? The Nine Forms of Burning Heaven and the Thunderous Breathing Technique? You...you only received the jade slip yesterday afternoon!"

Chen Xing did not offer any further explanation.

He took a few steps back, clearing a small space in the center of the living room, and slowly drew the Dragon Spine Staff from his back.

Taking a deep breath, he activated the mental technique of "Nine Forms of Burning Heaven," causing his fiery blood and qi to surge.

On the jet-black body of the Dragon Spine Staff, those crimson flame patterns reappeared.

First move: Blazing Flames Burn the Sky!

Waaah—!

The staff moved like a dragon, tearing through the air with a scorching, explosive aura!

Before the force of the staff had subsided, the qi and blood had already instantly transformed and accumulated along the route of the second move, Wildfire!

boom!

The second strike followed immediately, its power significantly greater than the first.

As the stick passed by, the air crackled slightly, as if sparks were flying!

The two moves are connected, and their combined effect is already achieved!

Chen Xing sheathed his staff and stood up, the flame patterns on the staff slowly fading away.

He took another deep breath, his chest heaving slightly—

Boom!

A deep yet clear rumble of thunder exploded from his chest!

His aura surged instantly, and there was a faint sound of his blood boiling around him!

After three seconds, the momentum slowly subsided.

But his breathing quickly became steady and long, and his depleted energy and blood were rapidly restored.

It is the thunderous explosion and rapid breath recovery that you master after learning the basics of "Thunderous Breathing Technique"!

In the living room, you could hear a pin drop.

Lu Ya, Jiang Yunxi, Mo Yu.

The three of them were frozen in place, staring at Chen Xing in disbelief, their expressions a fascinating mix of emotions.

Lu Ya's lips twitched uncontrollably.

He slowly turned his head to look at his two most prized former students, his voice hoarse:

"Back then, how long did it take you two to master the first move of the Nine Forms of Burning Heaven?"

Jiang Yunxi snapped out of her shock, a blush rising on her beautiful face.

He whispered somewhat shyly:

"After I obtained the cultivation manual, I secluded myself for three months before I could barely even grasp the first form..."
