At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"That's amazing, Brother Mu!"

In the Demon Slayer Division area, Lei Sai looked at Wei Duoduo, who had collapsed at Mu Yang's feet, and clenched his fists excitedly.

Zhou Yao, who was standing to the side, felt quite relieved at that moment.

He puffed out his chest, raised his chin, and looked smugly at the area of ​​the Six Doors.

The other captains of the Demon Slayer Division were also in a very enthusiastic mood, as if it were New Year's Day.

On the other hand, there's the Six Doors.

The atmosphere there was rather somber.

Yu Sheng, who was playing with the glass beads, paused, and her gaze towards the scene became somewhat fixed.

He had considered that Wei Duoduo might lose, but that would only be against the well-established genius, Miss Yuan.

I never expected that Wei Duoduo would lose to an unknown nobody!

No, perhaps this is a hidden genius of the Demon Slayer Division!

Yu Sheng recalled the sense of crisis she had felt in the backyard of the county government office.

The person in the shadows might not be watching them, but rather protecting them.

But if that's the case, then where did the sense of crisis in the woods that afternoon come from?

Yu Sheng fell into deep thought.

"That girl Wei Duoduo was actually killed in an instant?" Huo Xing, with his bushy beard, asked in disbelief.

Although Wei Duoduo's martial art, the Spirit Cat Claw, is not a top-tier offensive technique, its extremely fast reaction makes it difficult for even a mid-stage Meridian Opening Realm martial artist to avoid a situation she cannot dodge.

"Either his martial arts are special, or he has cultivated high-grade true qi like Yu Sheng, or he has the cultivation level of the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm."

Nie Chi, who was standing to the side, slowly spoke.

Although his voice was calm, a closer look would reveal that his pupils had involuntarily dilated slightly, indicating that he was not as calm as he appeared.

"Late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm? How is that possible? How could a small place like Qinghe County have so many resources to produce a late stage Meridian Opening Realm martial artist!" Huo Xing immediately denied it.

Even Yuan Yin, the daughter of the Liangzhou Garrison Commander, doesn't receive this treatment. Why should an unknown captain enjoy such resources?

If he were truly famous, the information sent a month ago would have included his resume and a picture of him.

It couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere in the last month, that would be too far-fetched!

"Someone whose information can't even be found by the Six Doors, would it be that simple?" Nie Chi glanced at Huo Xing.

Huo Xing's expression froze.

"So, you think he has the cultivation level of the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm?" Huo Xing asked.

Nie Chi shook his head: "That's not important. No matter the reason, it doesn't change the fact that he's very capable."

"In short, send someone to investigate afterwards."

Huo Xing nodded.

Nie Chi withdrew his gaze and looked towards the direction of the Demon Slayer Division.

"Yuan Yin, is this your source of confidence...?"

Yuan Yin: Surprised? Unexpected?

Among everyone present, the most composed was none other than our Executioner Yuan Yin.

Several days ago, he learned from Fu Rui that Mu Yang had single-handedly killed the dragon!

Even using the word "slay" is somewhat inaccurate.

He remembered that Fu Rui reported it like this:

With a wave of his hand, towering waves froze in mid-air; in the blink of an eye, he walked on the waves, suppressing the enemy with a single punch—like a god!

Well, Yuan Yin knew that Fu Rui didn't have much martial arts skill and couldn't understand the fighting techniques of high-level martial artists, but he didn't expect that this old guy would be such a braggart.

Even the phrase "as if a god" was sent as a secret report.

Regardless, Yuan Yin knew that Mu Yang possessed the ability to single-handedly kill a dragon.

After confirming the accuracy of the news, Yuan Yin was stunned for a long time.

As a disciple of the Liangzhou Garrison Commander, Yuan Yin was not an ignorant low-level martial artist.

He had personally witnessed his senior brother fighting the old dragon of the Qingshui Dragon Palace in the Qingshui River area of ​​Anling Prefecture.

The world was truly transformed, with towering waves hundreds of feet high, crashing like collapsing mountains and overflowing like a celestial river. Had his master not arrived in time, the surrounding people would have all perished.

That scene left a very deep impression on him when he was a young boy.

Even though the dragon Mu Yang killed was only a young, immature dragon, it was enough to show that Mu Yang's combat power was extremely exaggerated.

At least in Qinghe County, no one else besides him and Liang Qing could achieve such a feat.

Therefore, when he heard that the ownership of the blessed land depended on the outcome of the blessed land election, he actually wanted to see what kind of prodigy the Six Doors could send out.

As a result, he was greatly disappointed.

With a sense of emotion in his heart, Yuan Yin's eyes met Nie Chi's across the distance.

As the two gazed at each other from afar, the various factions present also harbored different emotions.

The two people from the Canglan Sect stared wide-eyed.

Judging from the strength Mu Yang just displayed, he is probably even stronger than the top-ranked inner disciples in their sect.

It should be noted that those inner disciples are not young, and many of them have the cultivation level of the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.

You're just a Demon Slayer Captain under 25 years old, with such amazing cultivation. What are you doing here in this small place like Qinghe County, competing with these "poor" kids?

You shouldn't have gone to Anling Prefecture, but to the core prefectures of other states outside Liangzhou, to compete with those prodigies!

What kind of skill is it to bully a bunch of little karaomi!

As the saying goes, where there is joy, there is sorrow, and vice versa.

Seeing Mu Yang defeat Wei Duoduo with a single punch, Hao Ben felt as if he had won himself, and excitedly swung his fist.

"As expected of a senior, you're incredibly capable!"

Seeing his behavior, Di Ren asked in confusion, "Didn't you say he was very young? Why are you calling him 'senior'?"

To everyone's surprise, Hao Ben replied with a matter-of-fact expression, "The accomplished are respected! Is there a problem?"

Di Ren:.........

"Alright..."

Di Ren was speechless, so he changed the subject and said quietly, "But I'll give you a heads-up: if you make it to the next round, your opponent might very well be your senior."

Hao Ben: (-> <) -!!

No way! I'll hit my senior!?

The thought of the dragon that died tragically that day, and the way Wei Duoduo had just collapsed to the ground, made Hao Ben shudder involuntarily.

If I were to face a senior, they would definitely go easy on me, right?

"Don't worry, you definitely won't die."

Lei Xing looked over at some point: "So, you two both know Mu Yang?"

"Forehead......"

Hao Ben and Di Ren paused at the same time.

"It was just... we bumped into each other on the road... really, Uncle-Master, you have to believe me!" Hao Ben tried to persuade Lei Xing with his sincere eyes.

Lei Xing glanced at him, giving him a look that said, "You little brat, do you think I'm easy to fool just because I look young?"

"Well, actually, Hao Ben was in trouble, but Senior Mu happened to pass by and saved him," Di Ren said.

Finally, he added, "Although I followed along, I was just a step too slow and didn't have time to make a move. Fortunately, Senior Mu intervened, otherwise we might not have seen Xiao Hao."

Hao Ben: Senior brother, what are you talking about? You were clearly the first one to be eaten!

Di Ren: Then who should we blame? My dear junior brother~~

Hao Ben: Cough cough, senior brother is right, I'm the only one who's in trouble!

Their eyes met, and they instantly rehearsed their story.

"Is that so...?"

Lei Xing glanced at Di Ren, then at Hao Ben, and suddenly asked out of the blue, "What kind of demon did you encounter?"

Di Ren: "Crab demon!"

Hao Ben: "Fish demon!"

Hao Ben: "Uh..."

Hao Ben: "A crab demon?"

Di Ren: "Crab demon!"

Lei Xing:.........

"Whoosh!!"

Seven water-splitting swords shot out from Lei Xing's sleeves, instantly aiming at Di Ren and Hao Ben's groins.

"You know, Uncle-Master, because I'm not very tall, it's hard for me to attack anything above the waist~" Lei Xing said with a smile, his hands in his pockets as he glanced at Di Ren and Hao Ben.

"Uncle-Master, I'll confess! I'll confess everything!"

Di Ren instantly abandoned the light and turned to the dark.

Hao Ben was greatly surprised.

"Senior brother, what are you doing!"

"If we say it out loud, we'll become the laughingstock of the entire sect, Senior Brother Di!"

"You're about to have a fight, and your martial uncle definitely won't hurt you, but it's different for me, your senior brother. I'm still young and not married yet!"

Di Ren covered his genitals with both hands, tears streaming down his face.

Finally, after Lei Xing's persuasive questioning, both of them revealed their shameful secrets buried deep in their hearts.
