Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Over the next few days, Lin Bei stayed in the county town with Ma Danna to recover from his injuries.

Madana changed his dressings every day and fed him medicine, and Lin Bei's injuries healed very quickly.

During his recovery, Lin Bei talked a lot with Ma Dana.

Madana may seem aloof, but she's actually quite easy to talk to.

She told Lin Bei that the Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan had been passed down for over a thousand years, with each generation passing the tradition to women only, and their sole purpose being to slay demons and monsters.

"The magic of the Ma family is quite different from that of your Maoshan sect," Ma Danna said with a soft laugh. "Your Maoshan sect mainly uses talismans, while our Ma family mainly uses incantations."

"Talismans and incantations each have their own merits; it's hard to say which is stronger or weaker."

Lin Bei asked curiously, "Sister Na, are you now at the True Person Realm?"

Madonna nodded: "That's right, post-production editing!"

"Summoning a dragon is possible at the True Immortal realm? That's amazing!"

Madana shook her head: "The dragon is not my power. It was the first ancestor of the Ma family who subdued the dragon, making it willing to help us eliminate demons. In return, we also have to worship the dragon and cultivate. Therefore, each generation of our descendants can borrow the power of the dragon."

Lin Bei's eyes lit up as he listened, then he recalled the movies he had seen in his past life: the Ma family of the exorcist dragon clan, the divine dragon, Jiang Chen, Kuang Tianyou, Yamamoto Kazuo...

This world may not be what he imagined.

"Sister Na, have you ever heard of Jiang Chen?"

Madonna paused, her expression slightly changing.

"Jiang Chen? Where did you hear that from?"

Lin Bei scratched his head: "I heard Master mention it on the mountain, it seems to be the Zombie King?"

Madana put down her teacup and remained silent for a while.

"Jiang Chen, the King of Zombies, is one of the four progenitors of zombies, an ancient being who is said to have lived for tens of thousands of years." Madana's voice was deep. "Our Ma family has been fighting Jiang Chen for thousands of years and has never won."

A hint of confusion appeared in Madonna's eyes. Could she really do what her ancestors had failed to achieve?

Lin Bei was startled; it really was Jiang Chen.

"What about Kuang Tianyou? What about Yamamoto Kazuo? Sister Na, do you know them?"

Madanna frowned: "Kuang Tianyou? Yamamoto Kazuo? Never heard of them. Where did you hear these names from?"

Lin Bei quickly laughed it off: "Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong. Master seems to have mentioned it, but I've mixed it up."

Madana glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.

Lin Bei's heart was in turmoil. If Madana had appeared, Jiang Chen would surely be here soon as well.

Whether Kuang Tianyou and Yamamoto Kazuo will be bitten by Jiang Chen again is still unknown, and it is also unknown whether his butterfly can flap this timeline!

This world not only has Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu from Zombie Supreme, but also Madonna and Jiang Chen from My Date with a Zombie.

Lin Bei took a deep breath and realized that he had been too simplistic in his thinking. He thought this was just an ordinary world in the Republic of China era, with at most some ghosts and zombies.

It seems now that the waters of this world run very deep.

"What are you thinking about?" Madonna's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Bei snapped out of his daze and smiled, "It's nothing, I just think Sister Na is amazing, slaying demons and monsters all by herself and traveling all over the world."

Madana smiled and shook her head: "It's not just one person. Every generation of the Ma family has a successor. It's our mission to slay demons and monsters."

"Sister Na, does your Ma family have any rules? For example... that you can't date?"

Madana's face darkened, and she glared at him.

Why are you asking this?

Lin Bei chuckled: "Just asking, just asking."

Madana didn't answer. She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and turned to look out the window.

Lin Bei saw a hint of loneliness on her profile, and he immediately understood something, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Two days later, Lin Bei's injuries were completely healed, and the two left the county town and continued south.

Along the way, Madana taught Lin Bei a lot of things.

"Your Golden Light Spell is quite good, but it relies too much on magic power," Madana said as they walked. "True masters don't rely on magic power to withstand attacks, but on their agility to dodge."

"Movement technique?"

"Yes, movement technique." Madana's figure flickered, instantly appearing three zhang away, then flickered again, returning to her original position.

It was so fast that Lin Bei couldn't even see it clearly.

"This is the Ma family's Cloud-Stepping Step, which you can't learn, but if you master the Yu Step of Maoshan, you can achieve the same effect."

Lin Bei nodded: "My master also said that if you practice the Yu Step to its fullest extent, you can shrink the distance between two points."

"Have you practiced to the extreme?"

"No..."

Madanna shook her head: "No, that's right. The Yu Step, like our Cloud Step, is a profound movement technique. It takes at least ten years to master the ability to shrink the distance between people!"

Along the way, Lin Bei got up before dawn every day to practice the Yu Step, stepping on it again and again by the roadside.

Madana would sometimes offer a few pointers, but most of the time Lin Bei practiced on his own.

The two traveled for about ten days, passing through several counties. Along the way, they encountered several little devils, all of whom Lin Bei killed with practice.

Lin Bei also took some time to practice talisman techniques, and replenished his mana and talisman paper.

That evening, the two found an inn in a small town and stayed there.

After finishing his meal, Lin Bei sat on the stone steps at the entrance of the inn, looking at the stars in the sky.

Madonna came out and sat down next to him.

"Missing home?"

Lin Bei smiled and said, "A little. I miss Master and Senior Brother!"

"How is your senior brother's cultivation level?"

"A mid-stage Taoist, a bit weaker than me, but he's working very hard."

Madana nodded and said, "For those who cultivate, talent is important, but hard work is even more important. Your current level of cultivation is not solely due to your pure Yang Dao Body."

Lin Bei nodded: "I know."

The two remained silent for a while.

Lin Bei suddenly asked, "Sister Na, which do you think is harder to deal with, zombies or ghosts?"

Madana thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the cultivation level. At the same cultivation level, zombies are more difficult to deal with."

"Zombies have physical bodies and are impervious to swords and spears, which reduces the effectiveness of talismans. Ghosts, although elusive, are afraid of sunlight and lightning, and there are many ways to restrain them."

"What's the most powerful zombie you've ever dealt with?"

Madana remained silent for a moment, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.

"General."

Lin Bei was startled.

"Is Jiang Chen really that powerful? Also, Sister Na, have you ever fought against Jiang Chen?"

Madana stood up and dusted herself off.

"Jiang Chen's prowess is beyond your imagination."

She turned and walked into the inn, leaving behind a single sentence.

"Go to sleep early, we have to travel tomorrow."

Lin Bei watched her retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The women of the Ma family have had many unfortunate fates. If things are really as depicted in the TV series of my previous life, then the cause and effect of everything must be traced back to Ma Ling'er.

I will never shed a single tear for a man in my entire life!

This curse... is truly cruel!
