Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 3 Mighty Bull Demon (Please add to your favorites and read on!)

In a corner of the academy, two women quietly watched the flying boat take off.

One of them had a complicated expression, his fingers unconsciously twisting and turning the hem of his clothes, it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

"Xiao Ye, didn't you say you hated that guy? He's so tasteless. He confessed his feelings and then challenged me to a duel. There's no guy more despicable than him. Why did you even come to see him off? And to make matters worse, you didn't even show up. What were you thinking?"

My best friend was speechless. She had accompanied her out in the freezing cold in the middle of the night, and was looking forward to watching the show live, but this is what she ended up seeing?
She took out her phone and saw that it was minus forty degrees Celsius.

Zhou Si shook her head. "It's nothing, I just came out to take a look. Let's go back."

She turned and left, her face calm, but inside, a little voice was jumping around, raising its tiny fist at her, and letting out an inspiring roar: "Dad, Mom, I will definitely open the divine aperture!"

Hu Yifei was freezing cold. As the airship started up and took off, he dusted himself off and turned to leave. But when he turned around, he saw two slender figures silently seeing him off in the woods behind him.

One of the familiar figures made him wonder if he was hallucinating. After rubbing his eyes hard to make sure he was seeing clearly, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap! Did this bastard succeed or fail in his confession?"

Suddenly jolted awake, he turned around like a madman and chased after the flying boat, jumping and waving and shouting.

There were other passengers on the airship, including rooms with the characters for "Heaven," "Earth," and "Human," as well as ordinary cabins.

The academy was well-funded, and Li Chunfeng was given a luxurious single room, the "Top Class" room. It wasn't large, only about twenty square meters, but it had everything he needed. Upon entering the room, Li Chunfeng immediately went to the only window and looked down, just in time to see Hu Yifei waving frantically.

"This unfilial son, does he have such deep feelings for his father? I'm so glad to know."

Unfortunately, I couldn't hear what he was shouting... I guess it wasn't anything nice.

The flying boat transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the dark horizon in an instant.

No one was allowed to move around freely on the flying boat. Li Chunfeng had been lying in his dormitory for two days. After taking some pills, his injuries had almost healed. He was just about to practice his fist techniques to stretch his muscles and bones when his phone suddenly rang. He found that the class group was full of messages. When he opened it, his eyes instantly became dry.

Of the 68 students in the class, apart from him and Hu Yifei, the other 66 messages were neatly arranged in a row.

"Wishing Li Chunfeng a safe journey and a speedy return from his tribulation!"

So, they all knew all along.

He grinned but didn't reply.

Thinking back to my past life, until the very last moment, I had no living being by my side, facing the darkness all alone... It feels so good to have family and friends!

Suddenly another text message popped up on my phone, with the contact name "Good boy".

It's a voice message.

"You bastard, didn't you say your confession failed? I'll throw this at you @￥#￥…%&*#@&*!"

As soon as I opened it, I heard a fragrant chanting coming out. What's wrong with my son now?

Li Chunfeng held the microphone a little further away, and it took him a while to hear what he said clearly: "Zhou Si also came to see me off? Impossible, she's probably here to tease me again."

He shook his head, a heavy feeling settling in his heart as he thought of the impending calamity.

Before the young man could even properly wield his sword, he had already stepped into the world of martial arts.

The primary task at present is naturally to prepare for the first Abyss Tribulation, so the first thing to do is to form a contract with your first natal demon pet.

Cultivation in the Earthly Realm is quite mystical. In the early stages, a Soul Cultivator has little combat power, and a Soul Cultivator without a demonic pet is practically a joke. He chose to go to the Ghost Realm for training precisely for this purpose.

A cross-border journey, a long and arduous road.

The entire process would take five days, and his time was becoming increasingly tight, so he naturally couldn't afford to delay.

Now, I calmed down and began to organize what I had learned.

The 'Mind-Calming Mantra' is an auxiliary divine skill that is indispensable during regular practice.

Because of frequent training, level 5 is within the expected range.

The "Heaven and Earth Erosion Patterns" course is the most important cultural course, as it determines whether one can be admitted to the Taoist academy in the future.

It is said that truly profound martial arts techniques were originally written in the form of celestial erosion script. If one's academic performance is not up to par, one will not even be able to understand these profound techniques in the future.

Currently, my 'Heaven and Earth Eclipse' skill is only at level 3, which is definitely not enough to pass the entrance exam for the Dao Academy. I will have to work hard.

His 'Bull Demon Mighty Fist' was only a step away from reaching the Great Perfection, making him one of the best among his peers. Li Chunfeng was a war orphan, so naturally he had no resources or background to rely on. His ability to reach level 10 was inseparable from his own passion and diligent practice.

Of course, his martial arts aptitude is also quite good.

But as Yan Liguang said, those geniuses who opened their eyes early and were determined to take the entrance exams for Daoist academies and Imperial Academy have probably already gone a long way on the path of martial arts.

Now that the divine aperture has been opened, it can be considered as opening the door to the path of immortality, but the path of martial arts cannot be neglected.

"In this world, the body is the boat, and the soul is the person in the boat. To cultivate only the nature and not the life force is the first ailment of cultivation. To cultivate only the soul and not the physical body will not allow one to cross the sea of ​​suffering to the other shore. A person's thoughts are the soul, and the person's physical body is the physical body. To cultivate only the soul and not the physical body will not be able to bear one's own burden. Only by cultivating both nature and life force can one transcend."

These are all famous sayings from renowned figures, earnestly taught in the academy's textbooks. And which of those illustrious Yang Shen immortals wasn't exceptionally accomplished in martial arts and body refinement?

The early stages of martial arts body refinement are nothing more than tendons, bones, and flesh. The first three realms of martial arts are the Power Refinement Realm, Bone Strengthening Realm, and Organ Refinement Realm, which are all integrated.

The first three realms are also known as the three realms of the physical body.

The 'Bull Demon Mighty Fist' is a top-tier fist technique for those in the Power Refinement Realm. Upon reaching the pinnacle of its power, one can obtain the power of the Bull Demon. This will be of immense help in dealing with future calamities.

Now, with the help of the incomplete jade disc, he should be able to break through to the Refinement Realm in a short time.

Thinking of this, Li Chunfeng took out the Tiger Demon Bone Strengthening Pill.

These are rare and precious elixirs for those at the third level of physical cultivation. Each bottle is worth 30,000 Dao merits, and they are cultivation resources that Li Chunfeng had previously sought but could not obtain.

Teacher Yan really went all out this time, and he now owes a huge favor.

There were ten pills in the bottle. He carefully took out one and put it into his stomach. He immediately felt a surge of heat in his abdomen. He immediately assumed a boxing stance in the room and imagined a peerless demon, the Bull Demon King, standing tall and invincible.

Legend has it that the Primordial Bull Demon King was a descendant of the Wingless Qilin clan, and was renowned for his immense strength.

The "Bull Demon Mighty Fist" also maximizes the effect of strength training. "Bull Demon Reaching the Sky", "Bull Demon Crashing into the Mountain", "Bull Demon Treading the Sea"... each move has dozens or even hundreds of variations, making it complex and ever-changing.

The academy has its reasons for using this technique as an introductory textbook for cultivating strength. If ordinary people find the right method, they can also achieve good results in cultivating strength by following the steps step by step and gradually increasing the difficulty.

However, reaching a high level requires immense effort; otherwise, it's impossible to achieve the ultimate skill. Reaching the pinnacle allows one to unleash a phantom of a Bull Demon, gaining its power, which can reach the strength of a thousand jun (a unit of weight). Many aspire to push this technique to its limit, laying a solid foundation for the future.

The airship took off and landed several times during its journey, presumably to pick up other people.

Aside from eating, Li Chunfeng ignored everything else and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

His boxing movements are grand and fluid, his posture upright and his steps steady, strong yet not stiff, soft yet not weak. He combines strength and gentleness, each breath carrying a unique rhythm. In motion, he is as agile as a swimming dragon, as nimble as a bull demon treading waves, light and free. In stillness, he is like a pillar supporting the sky and the earth, immovable as a mountain.

Extremely pleasing to the eye.

They have clearly reached a state of complete freedom.

Five days later, the flying boat suddenly lurched in the void, waking many people.

Inside Li Chunfeng's room, a roar that sounded like an ancient bull's moo suddenly rang out. A tall, monstrous demonic phantom with two horns on its head emerged from behind Li Chunfeng, who was naked from the waist up, and roared to the sky.

Li Chunfeng let out a long breath, slowly circulating his qi and blood to calm the surging power, and the phantom of the Bull Demon behind him gradually faded away.

[Bull Demon's Mighty Fist: Level 10 (10000/10000)]

Perfected Characteristics: Bull Demon Power, Vision of Qi and Blood.

With the aid of one Tiger Demon Bone Strengthening Pill every day, the progress of the cultivation technique has increased rapidly, and now it has finally reached the Great Perfection.

Clenching his fists and feeling the immense power in his every move, Li Chunfeng felt even more confident about the otherworldly continent he was about to step into.

An announcement came over the loudspeaker: "Attention passengers, the airship is about to enter the portal for teleportation. Please sit tight and hold on, and do not move around."

The "All-World Connect" phone, which claimed to have a signal even at the deepest part of the ocean, had long lost its signal. In other words, he had already left the Earthly Realm.

Looking out the window, all I saw was pitch blackness, like a gaping maw of darkness, devouring all life and hope.

Staring into the darkness can inexplicably induce waves of panic.

"Supreme Star, ever-changing; expelling evil and binding demons, protecting life and body; wisdom clear and pure, mind at peace; three souls eternal, spirit without loss or decline." Li Chunfeng instinctively recited the calming mantra, gradually dispelling distracting thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, a little more light appeared in the distance.

Like a giant, one-eyed gaze watching you from the abyss. Or like a fishing boat sailing on a dark sea seeing a distant lighthouse, its beam guiding the fisherman's vessel home.

Only when you get closer can you see clearly that it is a huge stone archway standing in the dark void, with an oval halo in the very center being the portal.

[Ghost Realm Teleportation Portal!]

The airship slowly entered the teleportation portal, followed by a violent jolt. Li Chunfeng experienced extremely noticeable weightlessness and increased weight, alternating between the two states, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

This is still the effect under the protection of the formation.

If one were to physically step into the boundary gate, they would likely be immediately torn apart by the chaotic boundary forces.

After a long while, the announcement was finally made again, informing passengers that they had arrived at Ghost City and that they should take their luggage and disembark in an orderly manner.

Li Chunfeng packed his meager belongings and left the room, following behind the others. Along the way, he saw several young men and women, likely newly awakened cultivators on their training journey.

After disembarking from the spaceship, one is greeted by a rugged yet modern metropolis.
