I can equip strange items

That's too fast.

It was so fast that everyone present could only see a bluish-gold afterimage.

With a loud "bang," the barbarian who was fighting the bald, burly man was sent flying.

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, its flying body was radiated outwards from the point of impact, with golden patterns spreading outwards.

With a "whoosh," its body burst into flames in mid-air, enveloped in golden light, and turned to ashes upon landing.

Everyone was stunned, staring at the scene in disbelief, and then looked at Li Yuan and the seemingly ordinary cyan-gold bamboo stick in his hand.

The barbarian demon with skin as tough as iron that had left them helpless was sent flying by this young man's single blow.

And it even caught fire?

"What...what kind of weapon is that?" the woman in the tracksuit stammered.

Li Yuan did not answer, because the remaining two barbarian demons had abandoned their original target and rushed towards him at the same time.

They clearly sensed the threat, their eyes flashing red light wildly, and their attacks became even more ferocious than before.

However, Li Yuan shifted his feet slightly and swung the bamboo stick again.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

As the staff swept past, the bodies of the two barbarian demons flew out as well.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the others, their bodies quickly burst into flames, turning into ashes in the golden light and disappearing with the wind.

From the moment Li Yuan made his move until all three barbarian demons were reduced to ashes, the entire process took no more than five seconds.

The scene was completely silent, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd remaining.

In the distance, the association members who were secretly observing also looked at Li Yuan in surprise, and then at the bamboo stick in Li Yuan's hand, seemingly lost in thought.

The Exorcist Association's assessment mainly tests courage.

Fortunately, almost all of these folk martial artists were qualified; at least none of them were scared out of their wits.

……

The man with the injured arm forgot the pain, staring blankly at Li Yuan, then at the ashes on the ground, speechless for a long time.

The bald, burly man swallowed hard, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Li Yuan had changed.

He had just personally experienced how strong the barbarian's defense was; his full-force strike could only penetrate two centimeters.

But this young man actually used a bamboo stick to easily beat the barbarian ghost to ashes.

What exactly is that bamboo stick made of?

Could it be some kind of high-tech weapon in disguise?

Li Yuan, however, paid no attention to the shock of the crowd.

Because the equipment panel in his mind started to move.

The solidification progress of the term "equivalent evolution" increased by three percentage points.

Sure enough, killing the barbarian demon was also judged as "punishing evil and eliminating wickedness".

After all, these barbarian demons are clearly hostile creatures, natural enemies of mankind, and killing them is naturally considered eliminating a scourge for humanity.

"Thirty-five percent!"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

He was originally worried about how to quickly complete these one hundred good deeds.

Whether it's punishing evil and helping others, both require opportunity.

But now, isn't this the best place to cultivate?

Each of these barbarian demons represents one percent of the progress.

"There's more over there!"

Just then, the seemingly frail young man suddenly pointed into the distance and exclaimed in surprise.

Following his pointing finger, everyone saw that deep within the rocky area, seven or eight more barbarian demons, attracted by the commotion, were rushing towards them.

Moreover, judging from their size and speed, these barbarian demons seem to be stronger than the three from before.

"Prepare for battle!"

Although the bald, burly man was shocked, he quickly recovered and gripped his machete tightly.

The others were also on guard, but their faces showed obvious tension.

The three barbarian demons had already thrown them into disarray, and now seven or eight of them had suddenly appeared, and they looked even stronger.

However, Li Yuan smiled and took the initiative to go to meet him.

"What are you doing? It's dangerous!" the woman in sportswear couldn't help but shout.

Without turning his head, Li Yuan's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving a trail of afterimages in everyone's eyes.

"So fast!" The bald, muscular man's pupils contracted.

The next moment, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Li Yuan charged into the horde of barbarian demons, and with each swing of his bamboo stick, a barbarian demon would scream and fly away.

"Bang bang bang..."

Wherever the cyan-gold staff shadow passed, one after another, barbarian demons were sent flying backward.

As they flew backward, golden patterns spread across their bodies, and golden flames rose up, turning them to ashes in mid-air.

Li Yuan's figure weaved through the horde of barbarian demons, his steps nimble, as if dancing on the edge of a knife.

The barbarian's attacks couldn't touch him at all, and every time he made a move, he would inevitably take the life of a barbarian.

Those tough skins that leave others helpless, those properties that make them immune to most physical attacks, are useless against his bamboo stick.

Those from the association who were secretly observing from a distance were surprised and hesitant at the same time.

He really wanted to tell Li Yuan that this assessment was only for entering the association, and there were no rewards for killing more people.

However, before he could even show himself, Li Yuan had already slaughtered all the barbarian ghosts.

It only took a dozen seconds.

Seven or eight barbarian demons were all reduced to ashes.

Li Yuan put away the bamboo stick and looked at the equipment panel in his mind.

The solidification progress of the term "equivalent evolution" has soared to 43/100.

"Cool!"

A slight smile played on his lips; the feeling of rapidly accelerating progress was simply addictive.

At this moment, perhaps because his aura was detected, or perhaps because a large number of barbarian ghosts died in a short period of time, barbarian ghosts further away noticed the abnormality.

Li Yuan suddenly turned his head and saw that more barbarian ghosts were gathering in this direction from deeper into the rocky area.

"Oh no, even those from afar have been attracted here..."

The association member who was observing the situation changed slightly in expression and was about to show himself.

However, after seeing Li Yuan's actions, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Because Li Yuan had already taken the initiative to attack, his eyes filled with excitement.

The observers in the shadows were speechless at this scene.

Everyone else considers this place extremely dangerous, but you've turned it into a training ground?

Meanwhile, the dozen or so powerful individuals from the common people who participated in the assessment were completely petrified.

They looked at Li Yuan, who had taken the initiative to charge into the rocky area, and then at the ashes left behind by the barbarian ghosts on the ground. Their mouths were slightly open and their eyes were wide open.

"What...just what is his strength?"

The frail-looking young man murmured, "Could he already be a Xiantian martial artist?"

"That bamboo stick...it's definitely not an ordinary weapon!"

The bald, burly man stared intently at the cyan-gold bamboo staff in Li Yuan's hand: "Could it be a legendary magical artifact?"

"A magical artifact? What's that?" the woman in the sportswear asked curiously.

"I've only heard that some special items supposedly possess the power to subdue evil spirits..."

The bald, burly man shook his head: "These barbarian ghosts clearly carry a chilling aura; they must be evil spirits. But this is too exaggerated. These barbarian ghosts are not weak, yet he could send them flying with a single blow."

"His speed and strength far surpass ours."

Another man said in a deep voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should already be a Xiantian martial artist, or... very close to becoming a Xiantian martial artist."

"A martial artist with innate talent..."

The expressions on everyone's faces were a mix of emotions, but most of them were shocked.

They were all strong individuals from the common people, who barely reached or approached the limits of acquired martial arts through various means.

But innate martial artists... aren't those only found in powerful forces?

After all, the changes in the world had not been going on for very long, and in such a short time, it was almost impossible for ordinary martial artists to reach the Innate Realm.

Unless a great opportunity arises.

"I still think his power mainly comes from that bamboo."

The bald, burly man disagreed: "I've seen a martial artist with innate abilities before, and that person was much faster than this one."

As they were discussing, more and more intense roars came from deep within the rocky area.

Everyone's expression changed, and they quickly looked over there.

A dark mass of savage demons emerged from the depths of the rocky area, numbering at least thirty.

However, at the same time, Li Yuan had already charged into the barbarian ghost horde.

"Bang!"

As the staff swept past, a barbarian demon's head deformed, and its body flew out horizontally. It was enveloped in golden flames in mid-air and turned into ashes after flying more than ten meters.

"Bang!"

Another barbarian demon had its arm broken off. The cyan bamboo staff continued its momentum, striking its chest and sending it flying backward with a scream.
