I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

The cultists hiding in the mountain were melted into ashes before they could even scream.

Along with it, several surrounding hills were also leveled to the ground.

Qin Xiaoyuan lowered his hand. "Those who can learn this move are among the best in the Divine Manifestation Realm. If they are not careful and do not control it properly, they will suffer serious injuries."

Jiang Qin remained silent.

He suddenly wondered if that otherworldly god had used this move in Black Earth City that day, would he still have been able to escape?

the answer is negative.

As if sensing his confusion, Qin Xiaoyuan continued his explanation:

"You haven't had much contact with otherworldly gods. They're not as terrifying as you think. Perhaps we're not as strong as they are, but in terms of various techniques for using that power, the gods are far inferior to us humans."

The otherworldly god was born with immense power, looking down on all races in the world. With a mere flick of his wrist, he could cause cataclysmic destruction. Naturally, he wouldn't bother to study the techniques of using his power; all he wanted was to destroy everything.

However, human warriors are different; when they break through to a higher realm, they are bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, in order to defeat enemies stronger than themselves, they painstakingly studied various techniques, and martial arts were born from this.

As long as your martial arts skills are strong enough, you can still fight even if your cultivation level is weaker than your enemy's!

Qin Xiaoyuan then told Jiang Qin many things that students don't have access to.

This is also just in case.

After all... this little guy's luck is truly heaven-defying. Even though he has been cultivating martial arts for so long, he has only assisted his seniors in fighting against the descent of otherworldly gods once on the frontier. Jiang Qin, on the other hand, has already come into contact with otherworldly gods twice in less than two months since he embarked on the path of martial arts.

Jiang Qin benefited greatly from listening.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Principal. You brought me out here specifically to strengthen my resolve to become stronger, so that I can break through to the Divine Realm as soon as possible."

"Not bad." Approval appeared in Qin Xiaoyuan's eyes. With his exceptional talent and humble demeanor, he was becoming more and more satisfied with Jiang Qin.

"Remember, once you arrive in Cold Moon City, do not indulge in sordid matters. Do whatever you want to do. Remember that behind you stands the entire Spirit Town Academy and the Spirit Town Bureau. Just do your job, and I will take care of the rest."

This is equivalent to sending a signal.

This trip to Coldmoon City is unlikely to be easy...

However, what Jiang Qin fears most is not having trouble. How can he improve his strength and make progress without encountering difficulties?

...

Time flies.

Two days have passed.

Early in the morning, on the rooftop of one of the buildings in Zhenling Academy.

A dark blue aircraft is parked on the rooftop, its shell flashing with light from time to time. Both its shape and texture are full of technological beauty.

The wings are shaped like butterfly wings and are folded vertically at this time.

Hanyue City is located in the westernmost part of China, thousands of kilometers away from Shanghai. If you take a car and make transfers along the way, it will take at least several days.

And by taking this aircraft, it only takes two hours to get there.

This aircraft was certainly not prepared by the academy, but by the Jiang family.

Butler Jiang bowed slightly: "I will accompany you to Hanyue City this time, as is the master's wish. I will only help you if your life is in danger, and will not interfere at other times. I hope you will grant me permission."

Jiang Qin was speechless. It was as if he said that if I disagreed, you wouldn't follow suit.

He nodded. "Then let's go together. Thank you for your help on this trip."

No sooner had he finished speaking than three more figures walked toward them.

It's Old Man Lin.

Su Lingwei and Chen Xiaohu followed behind him.

After being baptized by the Spirit Pool, Su Lingwei's realm stabilized at the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, and her physical strength was also enhanced, giving her an ethereal and graceful aura.

A token engraved with the character "镇" (zhen, meaning town) was thrown towards Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin's name is engraved on the back.

Old Lin explained, "This is an exclusive token for official investigators. With this token, you can mobilize trainee investigators and peripheral personnel. As long as it's not a state secret location, no one has the right to stop you with this token."

Then the old man looked at his granddaughter and glared at her, saying:

"Remember what I said, don't be like this kid who chops people to pieces at the drop of a hat. If you encounter danger, don't be stubborn, run if you can. I'm an old man, and I don't want to bury my child..."

He rambled on and on, but Su Lingwei paid no attention to it.

Then Old Lin looked at Chen Xiaohu. At this moment, he had shed his previous frivolity and become more composed.

"You're the same. You used to be like a coward, always trying to hide when something happened. Now you're stubborn, and every time you fight, it's like you want to die together with your opponent. Even though you can take a beating, if the enemy traps you, they can wear you down with a war of attrition..."

It's not hard to tell from the old man's behavior where Chen Xiaohu's ancient martial arts techniques came from.

After chatting for a while longer, Jiang Qin and the other three finally got into the aircraft.

"Deep Blue, launch, destination: Cold Moon City."

As Butler Jiang sent the command, the aircraft started operating, its folded wings unfolding to both sides, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly after the device was activated.

The Deep Blue gradually ascended into the air and turned westward.

A mechanical sound emanated from the machine.

[Energy replenished, about to enter ultra-high speed driving mode, 3, 2, 1...]

With a "whoosh," the aircraft took off, soaring into the sea of ​​clouds above, leaving a long trail in the sky before disappearing from sight.

A corner of Zhenling Academy.

After finishing her night of cultivation, Li Yunyan stared at the direction where the aircraft had disappeared and silently clenched her fists.

She had never relaxed for a moment since entering the Zhenling Academy. It wasn't until last night, after completing five rounds of spirit refinement, that she broke through to the Spirit Sea Realm. Such strength was already among the best of the freshmen, yet she couldn't even see his back.

Just wait, I'll catch up!

She turned her gaze away and walked towards the student council.

She wanted to see just how big the gap was between her now and Jiang Qin when he first entered the university.

...

A flying vehicle is speeding across the sea of ​​clouds.

Shanghai has been left far behind.

Inside the Deep Blue, Butler Jiang acted as an advisor, explaining the situation in Cold Moon City to the three of them so they wouldn't be clueless upon arrival.

"Coldmoon City has a unique geographical location and is famous for its Coldmoon Ore."

Cold Moon Ore is a mineral used to forge magical artifacts. It can be used in both high- and low-grade magical artifacts and sells extremely well.

"Because Cold Moon City is too remote, interdimensional rifts rarely appear. In addition, due to some special reasons, the Spirit Suppression Bureau has not deployed many personnel. Only one official investigator and a hundred trainee investigators have been assigned to guard the city. The official investigator is named Zhou Cang. He has been dismissed from his post for making a mistake..."

"Although Coldmoon City is still under the control of the state."

"But in reality, control is in the hands of the three major groups. They have recruited a large number of martial artists, who are said to be mining teams, but in fact they are their guards. Therefore, the influence of the Public Security Bureau and the Spirit Suppression Bureau on them is very limited, or even useless."
