I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 15 What is this young monk good at?
"Now we begin the second round of the assessment. I'll trouble you, fellow apprentices, to help me activate the illusion array."

As soon as Elder Jingyun finished speaking, the four elders of Bodhi Temple, Jingfa, Jingshan, Jingshui and Jingkong, walked out of the main hall of the Martial Monks' Court.

"Respected, Senior Brother Jingyun's order."

Four elders including Jingfa, along with Elder Jingyun, took action together to activate the illusion array.

Colorful light burst out from the gray bricks and stones in the courtyard in front of the Monk's Hall.

In a moment, the entire courtyard was enveloped.

"The first two hundred people who break free from the illusion and enter the main hall will be admitted to our Martial Monk Academy."

As Elder Jingyun finished speaking, Jiangchuan felt dizzy.

The next moment, Jinghui, the Martial Monks' Academy, and everything else disappeared without a trace, replaced by a dense forest.

All that comes into view across the river is towering ancient trees.

The bark of the ancient tree is like a coiled dragon, and its branches stretch towards the sky, blocking out the scorching sun.

It gives people a desolate and primitive feeling.

"It's a familiar scene. Since it's a fatal accident, it should be a sure thing for me to be in the top three." Jiang Chuan's thoughts were in turmoil.

"Roar!!!"

"Help! Who can help me!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, rapid shouts reached Jiangchuan's ears.

Jiang Chuan immediately ran in the direction where the sound came from.

Soon, a tiger demon with a body length of nearly five meters, pure white, and golden stripes on its body appeared in Jiangchuan's sight.

On the ancient tree in front of the tiger, a middle-aged man in blue cloth was holding onto a branch and calling for help.

Seeing Jiang Chuan coming over, the man shouted in surprise: "Little Master! Little Master! Save me!"

"I am a wealthy businessman in the city. If you save me, I can give you mountains of gold and silver, and even marry you my beautiful daughter."

Jiangchuan: "."

Do you dare to be fake again?
It's just an illusion, but at least we should put a little more effort into it, right?!
As a wealthy businessman, you have come to this desolate mountain area. You should at least bring some people with you, right?
Besides, which rich businessman wears plain clothes?

If such a person was really rescued in the Qingyuan Realm.

Not to mention mountains of gold and silver, Jiang Chuan felt that he was lucky to get a silver ingot.

"Roar!!!"

The tiger demon roared and turned to look at Jiangchuan.

"Little monk, do you want to save him?"

Jiang Chuan clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Naturally, I want to save this donor."

"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

The tiger demon's thick tail slammed to the ground with a bang.

"Little monk, let me ask you, do the lives of us demons count as lives?"

"Of course it counts." Jiang Chuan answered without hesitation.

"If I don't eat people, I will starve to death. If you save him, I will die."

The tiger demon stared at Jiang Chuan with his fierce eyes: "Then why did you save him but not me? Is it because I'm not human? Or is it because a demon's life doesn't count? Or is it that the compassion of your Buddhist sect is just fake compassion?!!"

The tiger demon's voice grew louder and louder, until at the end it sounded like the roar of a huge bell.

"Mr. Tiger, you have quite a few questions."

Jiang Chuan looked at the tiger demon with a smile on his face, then he gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"It's just that answering questions is not what I'm good at."

"Then what are you good at?" asked the tiger demon.

"I'm good at solving demons that create problems."

Jiang Chuan unsheathed the sword in his hand. He wielded the demon-slaying sword to its full potential, and the sword's gleaming blade turned blood red.

The blood-colored blade seemed to have condensed the murderous intent of the entire hell, and it was extremely cold and eerie!
As Jiang Chuan swung the blood-red ring knife, it slashed towards the tiger monster like a blood-red lightning.

"This knife!"

The tiger demon's eyes were as big as copper bells.

Jiang Chuan's strike was far beyond his expectations.

Comprehending the sword intent of the Golden Wind Demon-Slaying Sword has allowed Jiang Chuan to further understand the Demon-Slaying Sword, and he is only one step away from perfection.

Jiang Chuan was confident that if he used all his strength, he could kill the third level monster with one blow!

This is why he is confident and determined to secure a place in the top three!
Pfft!

Bright red blood splattered, and the tiger demon's five-meter-long body was directly cut into two by Jiang Chuan.

At the same time, outside the illusion array, in the Martial Monks Academy.

Elder Jingyun looked at the colorful bubbles above Jiangchuan's head.

Looking closely, Jiang Chuan was confronting the tiger demon in the bubble.

"Is this little fellow the disciple that Senior Brother Jingyun favors?"

Elder Jingfa, holding a string of jade prayer beads, with his chest bare and barefoot, asked Elder Jingyun.

Elder Jingyun nodded and said, "Jingyang has good aptitude. He was able to master the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist after watching it only three times. I think he has a good chance of entering the Arhat Academy in the future."

"Can you master the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist after watching it three times?"

Elder Jingfa was surprised. "I never thought he had such talent. No wonder Senior Brother Jingyun valued him so highly. However, this little fellow's luck wasn't very good. To have been killed by a tiger's mouth would have ranked him among the top three in all the illusions."

The cold murderous intent swept out like a wave, like a cold winter wind, whistling in all directions, interrupting Elder Jingfa's words.

"This is?!"

Elder Jingfa was shocked and uttered five words in disbelief: "Demon-killing and devil-slaying sword?!"

"It's the Demon-Slaying Sword! And it's a nearly perfected Demon-Slaying Sword!"

"At such a young age, he has already cultivated the Demon-Slaying Blade to such a high level. The young are truly formidable! Truly the young are formidable!"

The three elders Jingshan, Jingshui and Jingkong all exclaimed in amazement.

Elder Jingyun also had a huge wave of emotion in his heart at this moment.

"What Jingyang took from the Sutra Library was the 'Ruyi Heart Sutra'. How did Jingyang learn the 'Demon Slayer Sword'? Could it be..."

Learn secretly!

Thinking of this, Elder Jingyun's eyes turned cold.

"Stealing magical skills is a serious crime. If Jing Yang really stole the 'Demon Slayer Sword', as the elder of the Monk Academy, I must punish him severely!"

The moment he killed the tiger demon, Jiang Chuan felt that everything in front of him disappeared.

Immediately, the colorful courtyard shrouded in an illusion appeared in Jiangchuan's eyes again.

"It seems like a dream, but it's not real."

After glancing at the colorful bubbles above Jinghui's head, Jiangchuan walked towards the hall.

In the bubble, Jing Hui was carrying herbs and was chased by a group of monkey monsters. Then she slipped and rolled down the mountain like a snowball.

He fell and got bruised and swollen, looking very embarrassed.

"It's a pity I didn't bring the Image Stone. Otherwise, with this one handle, I could control the future Arhat Academy elder's closed disciple, a practitioner of the Star Constellation Nirvana Sutra, and the most powerful competitor of the Buddha's disciple for life."

While thinking, Jiang Chuan walked through rows of people, walked out of the illusion array, and came to the main hall of the Martial Monks' Academy.

When Jiang Chuan walked into the ancient and solemn main hall of the Martial Monks' Temple and saw the empty hall, he suddenly became excited.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

“Not the top three, but first!”
