Evil Immortal!

The next moment, Meng Yuan was in a daze, and some memories and insights about his cultivation of the "Yin Wind Demon-Slaying Blade" appeared out of thin air in his mind.

In my memory, he practiced swordsmanship every day, from the coldest days of winter to the hottest days of summer, until his palms developed thick calluses.

After more than two years, I finally grasped a bit of the essence of "The Yin Wind Demon Slayer Blade" and was able to get started.

At the same time, a cool aura quickly flowed into all parts of Meng Yuan's body. Wherever it passed, his muscles and bones seemed to be strengthened to a certain extent, and became more coordinated, flexible, and light, making him more suitable for performing this sword technique.

The long sword in my hand felt more familiar and easier to handle.

[You have reached the beginner level in "The Ghost Slayer Blade"!]

Meng Yuan snapped out of his daze, gripped the hilt of his sword, and a strange sense of familiarity welled up inside him.

He knew the weight, length, and width of the longsword, as well as the angle from which to swing it to conserve energy and maximize its power.

It seemed like he spent a while upgrading the "Yin Wind Demon-Slaying Blade," but in reality, it only took a dozen or so breaths. Gu Zhengyang and the others were already carefully experiencing the sword technique, so they didn't feel anything special.

Seeing him open his eyes, Gu Zhengyang smiled and said, "How is it, Brother Meng? Does this sword technique meet your standards?"

Meng Yuan did not answer, but instead drew his long sword and slashed out.

Clang——

The blade flashed dazzlingly, carrying an even more chilling killing intent. It drew a bright streak in the air, accompanied by a faint, ghostly wailing sound.

choke!

Then, Meng Yuan sheathed his sword.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the three people froze instantly.

For a moment, the surroundings were completely silent.

"you......"

Du Caidie rubbed her eyes hard, doubting she was seeing things: "You've already mastered the basics of swordsmanship so quickly? How is that possible?!"

Reason told her that Meng Yuan had indeed mastered the basics of swordsmanship, but the problem was that Gu Zhengyang had taught him the "Yin Feng Zhan Gui Dao" technique in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

What is this?!

A swordsmanship genius?

You can figure it out in a minute?

"Amitabha, Benefactor Meng's talent is indeed outstanding, truly the only one I have ever seen in my life."

The withered monk chanted Buddhist mantras and gave Meng Yuan a deep look. He was a disciple of the Buddhist Mind Sect, whose doctrine emphasized pointing directly to the human heart and attaining Buddhahood through seeing one's true nature. However, witnessing what had just happened nearly shattered his long-cultivated state of mind, and ripples began to stir within him.

"I never imagined Brother Meng would possess such talent in swordsmanship!"

Gu Zhengyang stared intently at Meng Yuan, and for once, he felt a rare sense of having found a kindred spirit.

He showed great talent in martial arts from a young age. He could learn ordinary martial arts at a glance and master them quickly. Others admired him and thought he was a martial arts genius. Some even asked him for tips.

But in his view, practicing martial arts is as simple as drinking water and eating.

Even some so-called advanced martial arts skills can be learned with a little thought, right? What secrets could there be?

But it wasn't until he grew up that he gradually realized that not everyone in the world was like him.

In this world, more than 99% of people encounter bottlenecks when practicing martial arts, their cultivation stagnates, and they cannot even grasp the essence of a simple martial art. It takes years of contemplation, comprehension, seclusion, and seeking guidance to achieve any results.

Right now, he suddenly discovered a kindred spirit, and Gu Zhengyang felt a sense of joy that came from long ago and that they were kindred spirits.

"You gentlemen think too highly of me. I am merely a person with some talent."

Meng Yuan waved his hand modestly.

Those who are familiar with their own situation know that his outstanding performance is entirely due to the game panel. What kind of martial arts genius is he?

However... if you really look into it, the game panel is also his cheat, and also a part of him that he can't give up. If you take it all in stride, it can be considered his unique talent. In a way, it wouldn't be wrong to call him a martial arts genius.

"I've seen your file. You're sixteen years old this year. When did you start cultivating?"

Gu Zhengyang developed a strong interest in Meng Yuan and decided to find out Meng Yuan's background and recruit him to the Demon Suppression Division. Otherwise, letting such a promising talent stay in a place like the river patrol team would be like casting pearls before swine, burying Meng Yuan's exceptional talent!

Meng Yuan thought for a moment and then told the truth: "It was probably more than twenty days ago."

"What did you say, more than twenty days ago?" Gu Zhengyang suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, and the smile on his face faded a little.

Meng Yuan said seriously, "To be precise, it was at 9:00 AM twenty-five days ago that I began practicing the 'Black Pig Gluttony Technique'."

"Ahem... Actually, you didn't need to go into so much detail."

Gu Zhengyang's lips twitched slightly.

How long did it take me to go from the beginning of my martial arts training to the peak of martial arts mastery?

It's been at least three months!

Upon comparison, it seems... perhaps... maybe... Meng Yuan's talent is slightly stronger than his.

However, such a comparison is inappropriate. He cultivates the legendary martial arts manual, the "Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture," which is a supreme martial arts manual aimed directly at the Grandmaster level. This skill is incredibly profound, obscure, and domineering, and its difficulty in cultivation far surpasses that of techniques like the "Black Pig Gluttony Skill"...

But if you really want to be serious, before he started learning martial arts, he took a lot of elixirs to strengthen his foundation and solidify his roots. He spent a long time just building his foundation, and he also had his master to guide him.

On the contrary, Meng Yuan was penniless and had to figure out his own path to cultivation.

Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the two are more talented.

Du Caidie, standing to the side, remained silent, wanting to cover her face in embarrassment, and didn't know what to say.

Looking back on her previous meeting with Meng Yuan, she was arrogant and aloof, not taking Meng Yuan, a minor "polluter," seriously. But now it seems that she was simply humiliating herself.

Fortunately, her aloofness served as a protective shield, preventing the awkwardness from escalating further.

The withered tree monk remained as honest and silent as ever, but his heart was far from at peace.

I thought my boss, Gu Zhengyang, was already a rare genius in the cultivation world, but now it seems that Meng Yuan is no less so.

This caused him quite a shock.

"Your talent is considerable; it's a waste of your abilities to stay here. Would you be interested in joining the Demon Suppression Division?"

Gu Zhengyang didn't dwell on the issue any longer and went straight to the point.

"Thank you for your kind consideration, sir. I am naturally willing!"

Meng Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, revealing his heartfelt joy.

This is one of the benefits of dealing with high-level NPCs.

As long as you can gain the other party's trust or demonstrate certain value, you can obtain enough benefits and hidden privileges.

Meng Yuan had already made some plans and preparations in order to join the Demon Suppression Division.

Even so, according to his plan, it would have taken at least three months to successfully join the Demon Suppression Division.

In the remaining three months, he can use the time to change his class to a mage in the immortal path, resolve his own corruption, improve his cultivation level as soon as possible, and wait for the players to arrive, and begin to face a series of dangerous and exciting events full of risks and opportunities!

But he has only known Gu Zhengyang for a little over ten days, yet he has already obtained the "Yin Wind Demon-Slaying Blade" and the qualification to join the Demon Suppression Division, thus realizing his plan far ahead of time.
