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

With curiosity, Mu Yang took out the +1 enhanced dried pork and then took out four pieces of ordinary quality dried pork.

Before long, another piece of air-dried pork with a +1 enhancement was born.

The result was the same: the quality of the muscle growth attribute improved from white to blue.

Mu Yang followed the same method and quickly produced four pieces of air-dried pork with a +1 enhancement.

It's worth mentioning that the materials used for enhancement don't necessarily have to be dried pork. When enhancing the third enhancement, Mu Yang had a sudden inspiration and used the roast chicken he bought for a late-night snack as the enhancement material, and it worked just as well.

Unfortunately, everything was ready, but the east wind had not yet arrived.

[Ding! The current quality of the main item being enhanced has reached its limit and cannot be enhanced further!]

......

"Has the limit been reached?"

Mu Yang wondered to himself, "Is it that the dried pork itself has limited potential, or is it limited by my martial arts cultivation?"

Considering that he gains an extra equipment slot every time he advances one level in martial arts cultivation, Mu Yang believes the latter is more likely.

It's a pity he didn't have any good equipment, otherwise he could have verified whether it was the former situation.

However, since he couldn't improve it, Mu Yang didn't continue to try.

After casually equipping one of the +1 enhanced dried pork pieces, he returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

..................

at the same time.

Inside the study of the Wang family mansion.

The flickering candlelight inside cast Wang Rudong's shadow as if he were a demon, baring his fangs and brandishing claws.

For some reason, after Haiji left, he began to feel uneasy, but he didn't know why he was uneasy, so he stayed in the study without leaving.

Suddenly, a hurried footstep came from outside the door, and a moment later, Wang Fu, looking panicked, rushed in.

"Master, something terrible has happened! Master Hui is dead! He died in that constable Mu Yang's courtyard!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Rudong's expression changed slightly.

Gray Two is a mid-stage Tier 3 demon, second only to King Yellow Wind and his brother Gray Big in strength.

Furthermore, he possesses rare demon blood magic that allows him to control shadows. Even though he has already reached the peak of the Blood Marrow Realm and is about to break through to the fourth-order Qi Condensation Realm, he dares not say that he can keep Hui Er with 100% certainty.

And now, Haiji is dead?

He died at the hands of a rookie constable who had only been in office for three months?

This is too bizarre; it doesn't make any sense at all!

"Could it be that someone in the county deliberately set a trap..." Wang Rudong tapped the table lightly with his finger.

The county magistrate was an incompetent fool; he served for several years, behaved honestly, and never caused trouble.

County Commandant Zhou Heng has always been quite hostile towards the Wang family, but he is not powerful enough to be the one in question.

If we have to say who has that kind of power, it's only the elusive head of the gang, and the Liu and Hu families, who are also among the three major families.

That's right. Although the three families are allies, they are not a monolithic entity. If any of them declines or shows obvious weakness, the other two will be the quickest and most ruthless to strike.

"No matter what, we have to find the people lying in ambush first!"

That's right, Wang Rudong didn't believe at all that Mu Yang was the one who killed Ash Two.

How could a newly appointed constable with a clean record for the first twenty years possibly have this ability?

It's simply that some people see that he has some talent and want to use it as bait to catch a fish.

And the Wang family happened to arrive near the bait because of Huang Fengshan.

"Afu, immediately write a letter and send it to Huangfeng Mountain overnight. Tell Huangfeng the old monster about Hui Er's death, as well as the fact that Hui Wu and Hui Jiu also died at Mu Yang's hands." A cold glint flashed in Wang Rudong's eyes.

Although the Yellow Wind Old Monster was only at the third level of perfection, his Demonic Blood Wind technique was so powerful that even fourth-level martial artists would have to be on high alert.

Since the other party wanted to use Muyang as bait, he summoned a big fish to see how capable the person holding the rod was.

"Yes, sir!"

..................

The next day, early in the morning.

After sleeping for four hours, Mu Yang, as usual, carried the rat demon's head wrapped in a burlap sack to the county government's police station for his shift.

As soon as they entered, Lao Ye and the others were drawn to the burlap sack that Mu Yang was carrying.

The dark red bloodstains on the burlap sack, along with a faint fishy smell, clearly indicated that the burlap sack contained no roast chicken.

"Boss, you... you've killed another demon?"

Old Fang rubbed his nose and exclaimed in surprise.

What's going on these past few days? Why is the squad leader killing demons every day?!

How many is this now?

Is this monster some kind of cabbage in the field, able to grow one crop after another?

Most importantly, they had followed Mu Yang on a patrol of the streets all day yesterday and hadn't seen any demons at all. How come they woke up to find an extra demon head?

"I ran into him after I finished my duties yesterday, and just killed him on the spur of the moment." Mu Yang remained as nonchalant as ever.

For him, killing demons was not a difficult task.

It's nothing more than finding it, drawing a knife, chopping, and packing it up.

But for Lao Fang, Lao Ye, Li Chuang, and Lin Xiaoqi, this news was far too shocking.

After all, let alone fighting against demons, they would be lucky to survive if they encountered one.

"If only I were half as good as the squad leader!" Li Chuang murmured to himself as he watched Mu Yang leave after finishing his roll call.

"It's decided, we'll have extra training today!!"

On the other side, after Mu Yang finished his roll call, he skillfully carried the burlap sack to Liu Shuli's office.

Seemingly used to seeing Mu Yang carrying a burlap sack every morning, Liu Shuli wasn't too surprised; he simply smiled, took the sack, and opened it.

Then he realized he had laughed too soon.

"This size..."

Liu, the clerk, took a soft measuring tape from the side and measured the rat demon's head. He was stunned when he saw that the head circumference was far greater than that of the previous second-tier rat demon.

No, this size looks just like the head circumference of a third-tier rat demon!

Could it be that I remembered it wrong?

Liu Shuli opened the book on measuring the dimensions of common monsters and carefully flipped through it.

Then......

"Glug!!"

Liu, the clerk, swallowed hard, looked up at Mu Yang, his voice trembling slightly: "Chief Mu, this...this rat demon, is it really a third-tier demon?"

"Um."

Mu Yang nodded.

"......"

Liu, the clerk, remained silent.

He remembered that when Mu Yang first came to exchange merits, he used a first-tier rat demon, then a second-tier fox demon, then another second-tier rat demon, and now he brought a third-tier rat demon.

Does this seem right?

Most importantly, how could a newcomer kill a third-tier monster?

Liu, the clerk, looked Mu Yang up and down. He was dressed cleanly, and his exposed skin was fair and smooth, without a single scratch.

In other words, Mu Yang wasn't even injured!

Liu, the clerk, seemed somewhat dazed, suddenly feeling that the world he knew so well was a little strange.

A third-tier demon, in the entire Qingxi County, there are probably only a handful of creatures that can stand up to it, and those that can be killed can probably be counted on one hand.

And completely unharmed...

Forgive Liu the clerk's ignorance, but he truly did not know who it could be.

This isn't some rough jade; it's gold that has been washed clean of all its impurities!

Lord Zhou, do we really need the Demon Slayer Division?

"Take care, Chief Shepherd!"

..................

Soon, Mu Yang left Liu Shuli's place with the martial arts manuals he had exchanged.

A third-tier monster can be exchanged for a lot of merit points, but unfortunately the government's martial arts reserves are limited.

He only has two superior martial arts techniques left that he hasn't redeemed.

Left with no other choice, he could only exchange the remaining mid-grade martial arts techniques together, which would serve as enhancement materials.

At this point, he had exchanged all the mid-to-high-grade martial arts manuals in the Qingxi County government office.
