Chapter 6: Underground Hunting! First Update

  In the Seven Stars Martial Arts Hall, battle points decide everything!

  Want to be invincible in martial arts?

  Want mysterious armor and treasure?

  Wanting spiritual elixirs and wonderful medicines?

  As long as you have achievement points, everything can be bought! Including that flying sword that kills people thousands of miles away, it can also be purchased with achievement points!

  Liu Hui smiled and said, "Before you go, let me supplement your knowledge. The cave you are about to enter is the Red Star Tower's cave, where the strongest demon has a cultivation base of three thousand years, equivalent to a strong warrior in the third realm!"

  "The Three Realms of Martial Arts!" Tang Lin and the others were stunned for a moment.

  "But you can rest assured." Liu Hui smiled and said, "Inside there is only a three-thousand-year-old demon who is the master of this underground cave. It usually doesn't appear in the outer surroundings of the cave, as long as you don't go deep inside, nothing will happen."

  "Under this monster lord, most monsters have several hundred years of cultivation, and there are fewer with over a thousand years of cultivation. Although they have only several hundred years of cultivation, the monsters' varied and rich combat experience still requires caution!"

  Tang Lin and others all nodded.

  The monsters' tactics are endless, and anyone who is careless in front of them has long been dead.

  "When you kill the monster, you need to cut off its head in order to calculate the battle points. If the head is destroyed, then you'll need the monster's heart instead." Liu Hui said: "Let me tell you about how battle points are calculated."

  "A hundred years of Taoist practice is equivalent to one battle achievement point!"

  "A thousand years of Taoist practice is equivalent to 10 points of battle achievement!"

  "Two thousand years of Taoist practice is equivalent to 100 battle achievement points!"

  "Three thousand years of Taoist practice is equivalent to 1,000 battle achievement points!"

  Liu Hui looked at everyone and said with a smile: "If any of you can hunt down that demon lord, it's equivalent to directly obtaining thousands of combat merit points!"

  Everyone's hair stands on end.

  Hunting Lord?

  Isn't this deceiving oneself?

  "Everyone go prepare first, those without good weapons should buy two fine iron ones. This trip will take two days, quitting halfway is equivalent to wasting a hunting opportunity." Liu Hui waved his hand and said.

  Tang Lin and others dispersed separately.

  Tang Lin returned to his dormitory and told Xiao Hui about the situation.

  "Hunt the monster?" Xiao Hui crawled out of bed, pondering: "Not only are there monsters in the martial arts school's underground cave, but also demon kings! When dealing with monsters, we can carry more talismans, but when it comes to demon kings, it's much more troublesome. Fortunately, I learned some ways to hunt down demon kings from the 'Demon-Expelling Clan' in my early years. There's no time for me to teach you slowly, so I'll just tell you some things to pay attention to."

  Tang Lin listened attentively.

  "The Demon Head is formed by devouring the natural demonic energy. In this world, there are two types of energy flows: demonic energy and spiritual energy! Cultivating spiritual energy leads to the path of sainthood and immortality, while cultivating demonic energy will lead to the path of demonhood!"

  "Compared to monsters, demons are even more cunning, able to control people's thoughts, emotions and desires, creating illusions that enthrall and can even lead to demonic possession!"

  "So, to deal with the demon king, you must have a strong spirit, and cannot be too obsessed with something, or else you will be taken advantage of by the demon king and led astray to become one!"

  Tang Lin listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion.

  Time flies.

  Xiao Hui briefly explained the precautions for dealing with Mo Tou, and then passed on three auxiliary array methods to Tang Lin.

  They are basic formation, primary formation and secondary formation.

  The basic auxiliary formation is called "Clear Spring Formation", as long as there is a water source around, the formation can be set up! This Clear Spring Formation can utilize the power of water flow to enhance the physical strength of people in the formation.

  The first formation is called "Sun and Moon Formation". According to Xiao Hui's words, it belongs to the category of "Two Extremes" formations. The so-called Two Extremes formation refers to a formation that can be set up in two different environments, with two different effects.

  The Day Moon Array enhances the attacking ability of people within it during the day and enhances their dodging and hiding abilities at night.

  The final second-level formation, called "Eight Trigrams Ghost God Formation", belongs to the "Eight Extremes" formation category, with eight different abilities that can amplify one's own power, increase one's own dodge ability, and weaken enemies at the same time, known as the strongest second-level formation!

  Although he knew three sets of array methods, the structure of this array method was too cumbersome. Even with Tang Lin's intelligence, he could only barely understand the basic array method and found it somewhat difficult to deploy. As for the first-level array method and the second-level array method, they required repeated study before they could be laid out.

  In the rest of the time, Xiao Hui began to teach Tang Lin knowledge of array methods.

  "There are countless formations, and just the basic ones are endless. These basic formations all use human 'six senses' as the foundation to build upon. For example, this Clear Spring Formation doesn't actually increase your physical strength, but in reality, within the formation, you can feel your own physical strength increasing. This is because your 'six senses' have been bewildered by the formation."

  "The formation method has certain hypnotic properties."

  "For example, in a maze, if you are inside it and use the same environment to confuse people's vision, you can trap them inside."

  Xiao Hui is absolutely a master in terms of array techniques, speaking eloquently: "First-level array technique is to utilize the environment, utilize the dazzling sunlight to make your opponent uncomfortable, and utilize the darkness of night to conceal yourself. This is the utilization of the environment."

  "As for the second-level formation method, it is only considered a true formation method. Although they are all uses of the environment, the second-level formation method is not limited to mountains, water, grass and trees, but rather the energy in the air."

  In Xiao Hui's narrative, a mysterious and vast gate seemed to unfold before Tang Lin.

  Talismans, Battle Formations.

  These two things have been passed down through countless years in the Town Demon Tribe.

  Tang Lin was like a beginner, diligently moving forward on the vast and boundless road.

  ……

  The next morning.

  The sky is gray and misty with thick fog.

  Tang Lin breathed in the humid air, carrying the Black Toothed Blade on his back, wearing a purple mane beast skin cloak, with a bundle behind him containing a wolf hair brush and over a hundred sheets of cinnabar paper, as well as thirty already completed first-grade talismans.

  Assemble on the martial arts field.

  Xie Jianfeng and Zhao Ziyu, among others, were all fully armed. Xie Jianfeng carried a Qingfeng fine sword on his back, emitting a sharp aura throughout his body, like an unsheathed treasured sword.

  Zhao Ziyu wore a martial arts uniform on top, with a red beast skin short skirt below, and white fine iron boots, full of seductive charm.

  The rest of them were all carrying their own weapons and wearing precious animal hides or steel armor.

  Liu Hui looked at everyone and said with satisfaction: "Very good, let's set off!"

  A group of people arrived at the underground cave under his leadership.

  The underground cave is located in the backyard of the western hall of the Red Star Building, and from a distance, on this large square-like hall, there is a large area of dark shadows, with all kinds of noise rising.

  "That's the entrance to the underground cave up ahead." Liu Hui pointed with his hand.

  All that can be seen is at the end of the hall, there is a pitch-black stone gate. Many people are gathered in front of this stone gate, some waiting for someone, others chatting in twos and threes.

  Tang Lin noticed that these people all exuded a murderous aura, with sharp eyes filled with coldness and killing intent, each person carrying an air of cold arrogance.

  The entire hall was filled with gathering geniuses of martial arts!

  Tang Lin quietly clenched his fist, with hot blood boiling in his heart.

  "Here I come!"

  "Get out of the way! Move!"

  Suddenly, a loud noise came from in front of the stone gate, and the crowd automatically retreated to both sides.

  Tang Lin hastily looked over.

  Behind the stone gate, a blue-clad young man slowly emerged, with fair skin and a noble demeanor. The corners of his clothes were slightly tattered, and there were several bloodstains on his chest. From his intact clothes, it was clear that the blood wasn't his own.

  He walked out, and behind him, three or four people slowly emerged, each with a cold and murderous aura about them. These few people were holding a huge sack, inside which several small packages bulged.

  "It's Huayang!"

  "Heavens, I've actually hunted down so many demons!"

  "Look quickly, that is Iron Wing Great Demon!"

  Some sharp-eyed people saw a pitch-black beak-like skull from the mouth of that huge bag, and they were all shocked.

  "Who is Huayang?" Zhao Ziyu furrowed her brow and asked Liu Hui beside her.

  Liu Hui smiled slightly, "Among the thirty people who broke through the Iron Tower Pass in the Red Star Building, there was this Huayang. He came to the Martial Arts Hall for nine months and persisted for six months, ranking in the top ten in the Star Building's Ranking Battle! I didn't expect that this time he went to the underground cave, he actually killed the Iron Winged Great Demon!"

  "'Iron Wing Great Demon?' Wang Yong wondered."

  "This Iron Wing Great Demon has over 2,000 years of cultivation and is a direct disciple under the leader of the underground demon world. With its versatile transformations and ability to fly, it's extremely troublesome."

  Tang Lin was secretly shocked in his heart.

  This Huayang actually managed to kill a demon with over 2,000 years of Taoist cultivation!

  "Let's go." Liu Hui said with a smile.

  Tang Lin and others followed him from behind, walking towards the pitch-black stone gate.

  "This is the entrance to the underground cave." Liu Hui looked at Tang Lin and the others, saying: "The area of the underground cave is very large, you must remember to stay together, otherwise it's easy to get into danger. If an emergency situation arises, this is the distress signal." As he spoke, six bamboo tubes appeared in his hand out of nowhere.

  "Just squeeze the bamboo tube until it bursts, and the elder guarding the cave will sense it and come to rescue you."

  Tang Lin and others took over the bamboo tube.

  Tang Lin found that this bamboo tube was no different from ordinary bamboo tubes, but he didn't know what was inside.

  "Be extremely careful." Liu Hui warned, "Although there is a bamboo tube for rescue, the monster is very cunning. In history, many students were killed by monsters due to arrogance or carelessness."

  Tang Lin and others were shocked in their hearts.

  Is there even life-threatening danger in this cave hunting?

  "Go." Liu Hui smiled and said: "Two days later, I will be here waiting for your return."

  "Hmm." Tang Lin and others each loaded their bamboo tubes.

  After waving goodbye, everyone walked into the stone gate one by one.

  Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

  Several people's bodies vanished instantly.

  Tang Lin only felt that his body was wrapped in a strange and mysterious power, and before he could react, he found himself transported to a completely unfamiliar place.
