In the courtyard, Lin Baichuan's footwork was like a swimming Dragon, his fists struck like thunder, resembling a Dragon and a tiger, like a phantom and an illusion. He seemed to have entered a profound Concept, completely forgetting himself, unable to extricate himself.
The rising sun cast its morning glow upon the earth, illuminating Lin Baichuan's courtyard.
"Hoo..."
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid Qi, Lin Baichuan finally concluded his cultivation. With a twist of his body, a crackling sound like popping beans emanated, as if all his muscles and bones were resonating.
With a thought, his mind sank into his Sea of Consciousness, activating his attribute panel.
"name: Lin Baichuan"
"identity: Demon Suppression Division Junior Demon Slayer Guard"
"cultivation: Ninth Grade"
"Cultivation Technique: Golden Bell Shield (Seventh Layer, 3%)"
"Martial Skill: Seven Kill Blade Technique (Masterful), Wind Shadow Step (Minor Achievement), Raging Bull Fist (Minor Achievement)"
"Concept: Blade Intent (23%)"
"Karma: 0"
...
With a glance, Lin Baichuan's face immediately broke into a smile. After a night of cultivation, Wind Shadow Step and Raging Bull Fist had surprisingly bypassed the Elementary stage and entered the Realm of Minor Achievement.
"Is this my current bone structure and Comprehension Ability? It's truly terrifying..."
Lin Baichuan muttered to himself, his eyes glinting, his heart growing more excited. A single night of cultivation had allowed him to Cultivate two Martial Skills to the Minor Achievement Realm. Moreover, both Wind Shadow Step and Raging Bull Fist were not ordinary Martial Skills; they were High Grade Mortal-level.
Of course, Lin Baichuan was also well aware that last night was rather special. Because he had reshaped his bone structure, his entire being had undergone a complete transformation. He had seized this opportunity to allow himself to enter that profound Concept.
Only then could he Cultivate two High Grade Mortal-level Martial Skills to the Minor Achievement Realm in one night.
In the future, as he continued to Cultivate, he naturally would not achieve such results.
However, with his bone structure now reshaped and his entire being transformed, his talent and Comprehension Ability were no longer comparable to before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to seize the opportunity to enter that profound Concept.
"My current talent and Comprehension Ability are probably not inferior to those Prodigies from aristocratic families. Coupled with the System's assistance, my future cultivation will surely be smooth sailing, with rapid progress..." Lin Baichuan muttered to himself, his mind withdrawing from his Sea of Consciousness, the smile on his face growing wider.
"Lin Baichuan, get out here..."
Suddenly, at this very moment, an unexpected change occurred. A shout came from outside the courtyard, followed by a loud bang. The courtyard gate was kicked open and flew straight towards Lin Baichuan.
Lin Baichuan moved his feet, subconsciously using Wind Shadow Step, easily dodging the flying courtyard gate. In a few steps, he appeared like a ghost at the courtyard entrance, blocking the people who were about to rush into the courtyard.
The newcomers were a team of Demon Slayer Guards, but the leader was a Demon Subduing Captain.
From the star embroidered on his chest, it could be seen that this person was a One-Star Demon Subduing Captain, none other than Song Gang, the person in charge of the Seventh Battalion where Lin Baichuan was stationed.
Following behind Song Gang was surprisingly Li Da, whose eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Lin Baichuan with a cold sneer. His entire face was twisted in a sinister way, sending shivers down one's spine.
Beside Li Da stood another Senior Demon Slayer Guard, who should be the captain of another team in the Seventh Battalion. Behind them followed seven Intermediate Demon Slayer Guards, presumably his team members. The group followed behind Song Gang like lackeys, radiating Killing Intent, preparing to enter the courtyard with Song Gang, when they saw Lin Baichuan suddenly appear and block their path.
Li Da was the first to make a move, shouting sternly, "Lin Baichuan, your crime has been exposed! Why aren't you surrendering?"
Lin Baichuan's gaze sharpened, falling on Li Da like a blade. He sneered, "Captain Li, you must have drunk too much fake wine last night! Running to my place early in the morning, acting drunk and spouting nonsense."
"Lin Baichuan, how dare you!"
Li Da was enraged by Lin Baichuan's retort, gritting his teeth and growling, "Yesterday, you committed violence in Baicao Hall, severely injuring Young Master Lu Changkong of the Lu family, and even killed his four guards, snatching the Spirit Medicine xuanyang fruit from Baicao Hall. How dare you..."
"Shut up, what are you jabbering about? Do you have any evidence?"
Lin Baichuan snorted coldly, directly interrupting Li Da. He couldn't even be bothered to look at the guy; he was just a piece of trash. If it weren't for Qin Qing saying that this trash still had a use and forbidding him to act, this guy would have been dead when they returned from Yunshan County.
He raised his eyebrows, having already understood Song Gang and the others' intentions from Li Da's words. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Gang, sneering, "Colonel Song, you brought people to block my door so early in the morning. You're not here to spout such nonsense like this trash, are you?"
"You're very arrogant..."
Song Gang's eyes were cold as he looked at Lin Baichuan meaningfully and said, "Do you think that by siding with Qin Qing, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"
"Colonel Song, you've misunderstood. I'm your subordinate! How dare I be arrogant in front of you?" Lin Baichuan sneered, "It's just a matter of a single word for you, Colonel Song, to deal with me. You can casually assign me a task and have me die outside in minutes.
After all, I imagine this isn't the first time Colonel Song has done such a thing, is it? Otherwise, how could you be so skilled at it?
Speaking of which, this time going to Yunshan County, if I hadn't been careful enough, and if your judgment in employing people wasn't so poor, sending a bunch of trash over. I, Lin Baichuan, would probably be a dead man by now!"
Lin Baichuan sneered indifferently, showing no respect whatsoever for Colonel Song, his words filled with sarcasm.
He hadn't forgotten his agreement with Qin Qing to oppose Song Gang. Now that such a good opportunity presented itself, he naturally had to seize it. Anyway, with Qin Qing backing him, that woman wouldn't let anything happen to him. Of course, his biggest confidence came from his own strength.
Now that he had reshaped his physique and bone structure, his entire being had undergone a transformation. Although his cultivation Realm was still Ninth Grade Body Refinement Realm, his true combat power had increased by several times. Even a Seventh Grade Organ Forging Realm opponent was no match for him.
He even had the power to contend with someone who had just entered the Sixth Grade Blood Refining Realm.
And as far as he knew, although Song Gang had already Broken Through to the Blood Refining Realm three years ago, he had relied on external forces to Break Through at that time and had only remained in the Early Stage of the Sixth Grade Blood Refining Realm until now. Lin Baichuan was confident that even if he couldn't defeat him, self-preservation would definitely not be an issue.
It was precisely for this reason that Lin Baichuan was so confident, daring to defy Song Gang, a One-Star Demon Subduing Captain, in his identity as a Junior Demon Slayer Guard.
"Lin Baichuan, how dare you speak to Captain Song in such a manner..."
A reprimand like a tiger's roar came from another Senior Demon Slayer Guard who stood behind Song Gang, parallel to Li Da.
Lin Baichuan didn't recognize this person; he was likely a captain from the Seventh Battalion and very possibly Song Gang's true confidant. Seeing Lin Baichuan act so arrogantly, daring to mock Song Gang, he immediately jumped out, pointing at Lin Baichuan and sternly rebuking him, "Kneel down and kowtow to Captain Song to apologize, or else you'll have a hard time today.
Do you really think that by siding with a woman, you can act so recklessly?
This is Cangwu Prefecture, not Eastern Wasteland Prefecture..."
