Evil Immortal!

"I have to kill big monsters like water monkeys to get more experience... If I can kill a few more, maybe I can advance to the third level of the Black Pig Glutton Technique sooner."

Meng Yuan stood up with satisfaction.

From the day he took leave to buy the longsword, he began to work hard to fight monsters and accumulate experience points.

With a powerful weapon in hand, Meng Yuan's monster-killing efficiency was significantly improved.

Every day is spent either killing monsters or searching for all sorts of monsters.

Of course, he couldn't afford to provoke or provoke those truly powerful evil monsters, so he could only choose to pick on "easy targets" like stinking blood eels, ghost-faced leeches, and shadowy corpses.

Over the course of a few days, he had already accumulated a lot of experience.

Today, a water monkey was unexpectedly spotted in this area, so Meng Yuan decided to use himself as bait to lure the monster to kill it.

Opening the panel and glancing at the "535" in the experience section, Meng Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

[Do you want to spend 500 experience points to upgrade "Black Pig Gluttony Technique" to the second level?]

"Sure!"

The next moment, a surge of heat appeared out of nowhere in Meng Yuan's body, turning into wisps of heat that flowed into every part of his body, nourishing his limbs and bones.

The long-lost feeling reappeared.

Meng Yuan calmed down and felt the changes and improvements in his body under the nourishment of these warm currents.

His skin, flesh, muscles, and bones grew stronger and more resilient, his physique became increasingly powerful, and he also gained memories and insights from three years of practicing the "Black Pig Gluttony Technique" in his mind.

Meditation, breathing exercises, physical training... I work diligently and persistently every day.

Even his appetite has increased significantly; he now eats more than ten times the amount of food an adult man would eat each day, truly living up to his reputation as a big eater.

......

[You have advanced to the second level of the "Black Pig Glutton's Skill"!]

By the time Meng Yuan came to his senses, his body had already completed its transformation.

"Black Pig's Gluttony Technique, Level Two..."

Meng Yuan drew his longsword and casually swung it, drawing a thin, cold light in the air and letting out a soft hum. He felt the longsword in his hand was noticeably lighter, making it exceptionally easy and effortless to wield.

That's why the speed and power of this strike were greatly increased.

His spirit and energy were concentrated into a single rope, and with a single strike, he displayed a powerful aura reminiscent of a martial artist who believed that "with a sword in hand, no ghost or god can escape!"

"It's a pity that although the martial arts profession is good, it is the best in close combat, and it is said that one can defeat an entire country within a foot. However, it is not suitable for me."

Meng Yuan twirled his sword, then sheathed it, shaking his head inwardly: "At least it can't be my main profession."

A legendary professional gamer, "Rising Moon Over the Sea," once said: "There are only weak players, not weak classes."

Meng Yuan did not agree with this, or rather, he only agreed with a part of it.

While a player's inherent talent is important, there are also differences in the strengths and weaknesses of different main classes.

Among the many professions such as mage, sword immortal, martial artist, corpse driver, Zen monk, ascetic monk, Gu practitioner, corpse practitioner, and ghost practitioner, some have a bright future, while others have a rugged and narrow path.

For example, the Sword Immortal class is universally acknowledged as the best in terms of killing power, unmatched in its class. Its immortal sword is incomparably sharp, capable of slaying demons and monsters, and breaking through all laws. Once one achieves a certain level of mastery, one can fly on their sword, elegant and graceful, possessing both prestige and strength!

For example, the mage profession follows the path of cultivating qi and forming an elixir, and cultivating magic to achieve enlightenment. They can cultivate yin-yang and five-element magic and supernatural powers, wield thunder magic, practice swordsmanship, refine elixirs and craft weapons. It is recognized as the most straightforward profession with the broadest prospects!

Take the martial arts profession for example. It cultivates physical strength. The true meaning of martial arts can destroy most magical spells and supernatural powers. When it reaches a high level, the physical body is indestructible and invulnerable. Even magical weapons and treasures can be shattered with a single punch. It can be described as domineering and unparalleled!

In comparison, professions like corpse cultivators and ghost cultivators are relatively inferior.

At lower levels, they are restrained by sunlight, black dog blood, and rooster blood. At higher levels, they are restrained by Buddhist purification and Taoist pure yang supernatural powers. Moreover, they are covered in the stench of corpses and deal with evil spirits and corpses all day long. They are considered a profession that only some morbid fascination and twisted perverts would choose.

Most importantly, once you become a corpse cultivator or ghost cultivator, you'll have no chance with girls in the game, not to mention fairies, demonesses, and demon queens.

Furthermore, while some professions may be desirable, they may not be suitable for all players.

Choosing the wrong career path is like taking the wrong road; even with exceptional talent, it will be difficult to achieve success.

Therefore, the choice of primary profession is also crucial!

Meng Yuan had already thought things through regarding his career choice. He planned to switch to the mage profession in the immortal path. This profession was the most common in the world of [Evil Immortals], but it was also the most orthodox profession. It focused on cultivating supernatural powers and magic, and followed the path of proving the Dao through magic!

Moreover, as long as he chooses the right cultivation manual (professional skill book), he can even cultivate other professions in the future, such as sword immortal, weapon refiner, alchemist and so on.

only......

Meng Yuan frowned slightly as he stared at the deformed tumor on his neck: "Just now, when I advanced to the second level of the 'Black Pig Glutton Technique,' this damn thing actually snatched some more benefits!"

At this moment, the distorted human face on the deformed tumor seemed to become slightly more vivid than before, as if it had been nourished.

Meng Yuan was seething with resentment. He felt that part of the salary he earned by working hard and staying up late was deducted by the company's rival, and the other party's reason was justified and impeccable, leaving him with no way to do anything about it.

"Damn it, I'll just have to endure it a little longer. Once I enter the Demon Suppression Division and obtain the 'True Explanation of Ziyang,' I'm going to dig this damn thing out by the roots!"

Meng Yuan bent down and, with some clumsiness, began to peel the skin off the water monkey.

Although the water monkey is a demon, its skin is quite tough and can be used to make leather armor, which is quite valuable and can be sold for a few taels of silver, so it cannot be thrown away.

"Brother Meng, something's happened again!"

Sun Youfu rushed over, his face full of anxiety.

"What? Someone died again?"

Meng Yuan remained as steady as an old dog, his movements unchanged, continuing to peel the skin off the water monkey.

"This is... a water monkey?!"

Sun Youfu was startled, recognizing the corpse on the ground. He then excitedly gave a thumbs up: "Brother Meng, you're amazing! Even this monster wasn't a match for you!"

Meng Yuan was his fellow worker who patrolled with him. The stronger Meng Yuan was, the safer he would be.

"You still haven't told me what happened?"

Meng Yuan glanced at him.

"Oh right!"

Sun Youfu remembered the important matter and said, "Several more bodies have been discovered just now, including those of nearby villagers and two members of our river patrol team."

"Okay, I understand."

Meng Yuan nodded, not at all surprised.

The banks of the Yinliu River have been anything but peaceful these past few days. The skinning demon is quite vengeful, and as he predicted, he avoided the strongest officers, Huang Qing and Qiu Changshan, and repeatedly ambushed lone river patrol workers and nearby villagers.

Over the course of several days, five or six river patrol workers have lost their lives, and eight innocent villagers have also died tragically, causing widespread panic and fear throughout the entire patrol team.

Many people have already taken leave, or even quit their jobs altogether and are not coming to work.

Huang Qing was extremely anxious about this, but there was nothing he could do. No matter how prestigious he was, he couldn't let everyone risk their lives to come and die.
