Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 606: Chapter 0606: Evil Dog (Additional 6000, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

‘Demons’ have varying strengths, but they can still be highly lethal to ordinary people.

Only some specially made ‘talismans’, can pose certain resistance to them.

The people in the village must labor outside, so there must be someone to protect them, hence the origin of the ‘Village Protection Team’!

“Talisman?”

Su Lu thought of the talisman paper that the village chief burnt during the corroboration ceremony.

The text on it seemed to him to be just mysterious symbols and magical markings. Of course, perhaps in this world, they also have other names, like ‘Cloud Seal’ and the like.

For ordinary people, it’s basically gibberish, they cannot understand a single word.

“Yes, those are treasures made by the ‘Talisman Masters’ from the city. Every year, the village has to trade more than half of its output for them…”

Li Shitou said with a tinge of regret.

Su Lu asked a few more questions and found out that they do not have a concept of ‘taxation’, but in fact, they still need to give their harvest to the nearest ‘Qingyang City’ and obtain a year’s worth of talismans from there.

These include not only ‘Exorcism Talismans’ that specifically deal with demons, but also ‘Plague Expelling Talismans’ for treating illnesses, ‘Rejuvenation Talismans’ for healing wounds, etc.

If a village does not have these reserves, the Village Protection Squad would have been eradicated by the countless demons a long time ago, and the village would cease to exist.

Therefore, these villages are very keen to ‘present offerings’ and ‘pay taxes’, to the point where there is no need to send people to collect them.

As Li Shitou was talking to Su Lu, he received his own weapon – an iron blade that was slightly rusted.

“Gather here tomorrow, now let’s dismiss!”

At Wang Hu’s command, the teenagers scattered.

Li Shitou took his blade home and, unusually, was not required to help his family with work, gaining half a day of leisure.

“Old Grandpa… what should I do?”

He sat in the courtyard and asked himself quietly in his heart.

“Let me see, how exactly do you cultivate?”

Su Lu asked in detail.

He certainly could not directly give away the profession path, the appearance of a completely unfamiliar profession system would inevitably signal something extraordinary, which goes against his original intention of staying hidden.

What he needs to do is to assist Li Shitou to follow the path system that already exists in this world, and promote to a stage that is sufficient to pass through the Abyss Passage!

“Martial training? I practice the Evil Dog Three Styles taught by Team Leader Wang every day!”

Li Shitou used gestures, actively demonstrating a set of martial arts to Su Lu.

“Evil Dog Pounces!”

“Yellow Dog Legs!”

“Mad Dog Barks at the Moon!”

…

“Uh… These names, simple and unadorned…”

Su Lu quietly sighed. However, when he examined it closely, he found that although these moves were simple, they have a sense of meticulousness, refined by countless generations of people.

The ‘Evil Dog Pounces’ are claw techniques, which can also be used in swordsmanship and iron claw.

‘Yellow Dog Legs’ are leg techniques, similar to ‘Shadowless Kick’. If mastered, it can increase the strength of your legs and enable you to run faster.

The last ‘Mad Dog Barks at the Moon’ must be practised at night, when the moon is visible, and it has the idea of ‘breathing and exhaling method’.

If it was in the World without Demons, this set of ‘Cultivation Technique’ could roughly be considered as the secret technique of those martial arts schools.

However, in this world, it’s just commonplace.

After all, once everyone is dead, what’s the use of keeping secret techniques?

“Puff puff…”

Although he just mimicked a few postures, Li Shitou still panted slightly, “Grandpa… how is it?”

“Not so good, can martial arts kill demons when they are completed?”

Su Lu asked a key question.

“It should… be able to. It seems that Team Leader Wang Hu, he has already cultivated out ‘Qi’, and has killed the ‘Wood Demon’ and ‘Blood Demon’… He is the strongest martial artist in our village!”

Li Shitou responded awkwardly.

“Listen to me…” Su Lu arrogantly said: “My ability is to help you deduce the Cultivation Techniques, the more detailed the Cultivation Technique you give to me, the more and better feedback I can give you… Looking at your ‘Evil Dog Three Styles’, your martial way seems to have three realms!”

“The first realm ‘Refining Essence’ can make a person energetic, muscles and tendons are unobstructed, and the body’s resistance to demons strengthens.”

“The second realm ‘Qi Refinement’, a sense of Qi is produced in the body, True Qi is released, it can harm demons, this is the realm of that Wang Hu.”

“The third realm is ‘Spirit Refining’, the spirit strengthens, not fearing some mazes and phantoms, and able to perfectly leverage every potential of the body.”

“As for whether there are any realms above this, I don’t know.”

…

“Grandpa, you’re amazing…” Li Shitou said in surprise: “I’ve heard similar words from Team Leader Wang Hu, but he wasn’t clear, he didn’t seem to understand himself, and even less spoke of the realm of ‘Spirit Refining’.”

“Of course.” Su Lu said arrogantly: “I’ve already completed the ‘Evil Dog Three Styles’ for you, the last posture of it is very interesting, practice hard tonight, maybe you’ll have a little more self-preservation power tomorrow.”

In the next moment, many details about the ‘Evil Dog Three Styles’ emerged in Li Shitou’s mind.

The ‘Evil Dog Pounces’ had turned into a sharp sword technique.

‘Yellow Dog Legs’ mainly transformed into a set of light gymnastics.

As for ‘Mad Dog Barks at the Moon’, it had turned into ‘Celestial Dog Swallows the Moon Style’!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Qi can be regarded as a kind of special energy! Talisman Water can only enhance your body’s resistance but cannot harm the enemy when released externally. However, ‘Qi’ can… Boy, if you want to survive in the Village Protection Team, work hard at practising this ‘Celestial Dog Swallows the Moon Style’ and strive to perceive Qi as soon as possible!”

The reprimanding voice of Su Lu came.

“Yes, Grandpa, I will definitely work hard.”

Li Shitou stood up, picked up the iron sword, and started practising sword technique.

This time, he practised very seriously, feeling as if there was a warm current in his body, offsetting his fatigue.

The village gave out Talisman Water and a day off today so that this group of teenagers could adapt, it also serves as the last chance.

Martial training is something that accumulates, sometimes just missing a piece of window paper. Breakthrough, and you ascend a realm, unable to breakthrough, and you’ll remain mediocre for life.

And now, under Su Lu’s guidance, Li Shitou has undoubtedly entered an excellent state.

“Puff puff… The 1,100th sword!”

He was immersed in the intricacies of the sword art and unconsciously, it was already dusk and a full-moon night.

“Celestial Dog Swallows the Moon Style!”

Li Shitou sat cross-legged, facing the moon and began to inhale and exhale.

If it is said that ‘Mad Dog Barks at the Moon’ only resonates within the body through phonemes with very low efficiency, then ‘Celestial Dog Swallows the Moon’, directly enters breathing method with inhalation and exhalation, the efficiency is more than ten times higher.

Without knowing it, a night passed by.

Li Shitou stood up, feeling refreshed, his body making popping noises like exploding beans: “I was originally just proficient in skin membranes, but now, I feel that my muscles and bones have started to ‘open up’, soon I can master Refining Essence!”

“Grandpa…who are you?!”
