Excessive ferocity due to caution

"loser?"

Yunfang was stunned. When she looked at the guys inside the red lacquered wooden door, her expression suddenly became complicated.

Zhao Yi continued:

"Those who die on the road are imprisoned by red-lacquered wooden doors because of their resentment."

"Once they sense other outsiders, they will try every means to kill them, to make them die on the way, and to make them losers as well."

There's a saying that goes something like this: "Instead of trying to improve yourself, try to discredit others."

Upon hearing this, Yunfang's eyes flashed with disgust.

"That sounds disgusting."

Zhao Yi:

"Evil, evil... This is one of the most fundamental evils in human nature—jealousy."

Upon hearing this, Yunfang's eyes lit up slightly.

"So, you've now broken through to the Evil Realm?"

Zhao Yi shook his head.

"without."

"This is just the first hurdle. Just like how a great ferocious beast needs vast knowledge and accumulation to enter the Dominator Realm."

"Talent can help you break through barriers, but it can't help you climb mountains."

"If you really want to break through the Evil Realm, you'll probably have to find a way to reach the end of this path."

Upon hearing this, Yunfang let out a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile:

"I was too naive."

"I shouldn't have had such illusions."

Zhao said to her:

"You can come in now, but once you pass through the wooden door, you will be on a different path from me, and I will no longer be able to help you."

Yunfang hesitated and said:

"But the ominous aura inside is too strong; I can't get close at all."

Zhao Yi pointed to the "Slay Me Technique" in her hand.

Use this.

"With me here to keep watch, the evil things inside won't dare to come out and cause trouble for the time being."

Yunfang slapped her forehead:

"I'm so sorry... my idiot brain, I completely forgot!"

She quickly sat down cross-legged and, under Zhao Yi's guidance, began to practice the "Slaying Me" technique.

Originally, it would have taken her at least several months to comprehend this.

But now, with Zhao Yi's guidance, Yunfang skipped this tedious process entirely.

Not long after, Yunfang successfully completed the task of slaying me.

Compared to her past self, she appears much more mature, especially in her physique, which is now more imposing and graceful.

Her entire demeanor has changed.

Having survived the ordeal, I feel reborn!

Furthermore, since I was slain in an area teeming with ominous energy, my new self possesses a remarkably strong resistance to ominous energy.

Yunfang felt the changes in herself and trembled with excitement. She sincerely thanked Zhao Yi.

Then she stepped through the red lacquered wooden door.

The moment she stepped inside, Zhao Yi disappeared from her sight.

Yunfang knew that from now on, she would have to rely on herself to walk the path she was on. She could no longer complete the most difficult task as easily as she had today, without exerting much effort.

Her consciousness returned to her body in the Chaotic Realm. Yun Fang took a deep breath, thanked Zhao Yidao, and expressed that she owed him a great debt of gratitude and would definitely serve the Jie Sect loyally in the future!

Now, both of them have greatly improved their strength, especially Yunfang.

Since Zhao Yi had just embarked on the path of cultivation, he didn't have enough time to accumulate experience. Breaking through the barrier ahead of time simply saved him trouble later.

But Yunfang is different.

Her accumulated knowledge had long surpassed her current level, but she had been suppressed because she had not yet broken through. Now that she had successfully broken through and severed her own barrier, a new self was born, and her strength had almost achieved a qualitative leap!

Feeling the explosive power within her body, Yunfang felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

Whether it was luck or something else, at least... she accomplished what countless predecessors in their land had failed to do!

She successfully stepped through that door!

Glancing at the monstrous-looking man beside her, Yunfang noticed Zhao Yi quietly staring at the "Self-Slaying Technique" in his hand.

"The predecessor who created this method... was truly remarkable. If he were in our original cultivation world, he would probably be a legendary figure remembered for all time!"

"It is truly a great blessing for you, Master, to know such a friend."

Yunfang couldn't help but sigh, thinking to herself that perhaps only monsters could become friends with other monsters.

Zhao Yi smiled slightly:

"Strictly speaking, I can't really call him a friend."

"It's just that there are still old friends with whom I haven't fulfilled my promises."

Upon hearing this, Yunfang's heart skipped a beat, but she seemed somewhat unable to understand:

"Since we're neither friends nor enemies, there's no need to be so serious about whether a promise is kept or not; otherwise, it's just too much trouble..."

Zhao Yi replied:

"With the passage of time, some people, even if they are not familiar with each other, whether they are friends, rivals, or even just a fleeting glimpse, can leave a very deep impression, and these people will inevitably be cherished more."

Yunfang lowered her head, seriously considering Zhao Yi's words.

She was an experienced woman and roughly understood the meaning behind Zhao Yi's words.

"There was a time when I thought this person was nothing special, but Fan Qingxue's Flying Immortal Sword really made him grow a lot."

Yunfang looked up at Zhao Yi with some surprise and chuckled:

"I rarely hear you praise someone... at least this is the first time."

"However, it would be unreasonable not to return the favor after he gave you such an expensive gift."

Zhao Yi stroked the "Slay Me Technique" with his fingertips and said something that made Yun Fang both laugh and cry.

"He didn't actually give it to me; I took it by force."

After saying this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but wonder if he had harmed the Warring States.

After all, without this, sooner or later someone will fall into the same predicament as Ren Wudi back then.

He'll have to ask Feng Nan and Yan She later to see if this thing can still be returned.

As Wu Liang stepped out of his hotel room, his eyes lit up the moment he saw Zhao Yi.

"Congratulations, Master! Your strength has increased once again!"

After bowing to Zhao Yixing, he nodded to Yun Fang to express his apology.

Yunfang understood Wu Liang's meaning and waved her hand.

"It's none of your business."

"Even if it wasn't you, someone else would have woken me up sooner or later."

"It's just fate playing tricks on us."

After the two had lunch arranged by Wu Liang, Zhao Yi received another email from the entertainment company.

The authorities granted Zhao Yi the title and authority of a Best Actor.

After becoming a movie star, Zhao Yi was able to wield some power within the entertainment company and even begin to cultivate his own influence.

After all, it's quite easy to improve one's skills and abilities within an entertainment company.

Simply completing the movie will earn you a large number of points, which can be exchanged for items and acquired bloodlines in the shop.

While these items are almost exclusively helpful to beings below the Great Ferocity level, the items available for exchange in the shop are not very helpful to those above the Great Ferocity level.

As for rare and exclusive martial arts techniques, Zhao Yi consulted Feng Nan, who told him that such things are not something that just anyone can obtain, and the number of times one can participate in dungeon trials in movies or games like "Hell" produced by entertainment companies is limited.

Only monsters like Zhao Yi, who almost always receive extremely high ratings, have a chance to buy rare, red-tier cultivation techniques.

Even so, it greatly helped Zhao Yi cultivate the power of the Jie Sect!

He began selecting the best assassins from the Jie Sect and sending them to the entertainment company.

Feng Nan naturally knew that Zhao Yi had a considerable force under his command.

His and Yan She's ideas were very simple...

They want to use Zhao Yi, this sharp scalpel, to pick out the corrupt elements within the company one by one!
