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

"boom--!!"

A massive jade hand, several meters long, with an overwhelming aura, crashed down on Mu Yang.

The terrifying sense of oppression caused sand and gravel to fly everywhere it passed, and even the weeds were all flattened to the ground.

Although Yuan Yin did not use his full strength in this palm strike, he still used a full 70% of his power.

Let alone a martial artist in the Enlightenment Realm, even a martial artist in the early stage of the True Qi Realm would not feel good if they were hit by it.

But Mu Yang acted as if nothing had happened.

He just stood there, and then...

"bass--!!"

The dazzling golden light was even brighter than the sun on the horizon.

The indestructible Vajra-like body is activated!

Mighty Vajra Palm!

A golden light, solidified to the point of being tangible, burst forth from Mu Yang's palm. His originally fair and slender hand instantly transformed into a dazzling display of pure gold.

The golden light was not only dazzling, but also seemed to possess a sharpness that could cut through everything.

Entry: Golden Claw, open!

The tiny golden hand tore through the air currents and made contact with the enormous jade hand.

"boom--!!"

The shockwave swept outwards, uprooting the wild grass lying on the ground, and even the ground beneath Mu Yang's feet cracked as if an earth dragon had turned over.

Cracks spread out in dense clusters.

Even Yuan Yuan and Liang Qing, who were standing at the edge of the field, felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently.

But they had no interest in these things at all.

Because, right there, with one small and one large, one gold and one white palm colliding, the enormous jade palm suddenly cracked open.

A slender, shimmering golden hand emerged from the center of the palm.

Yuan Yin's Heaven-Capturing Hand...

It cracked!

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

When the wind subsided and the sound of the wind calmed down, Mu Yang slowly withdrew his palm, watching the cracked jade hand in front of him gradually disintegrate and slowly disappear into the air.

Yuan Yuan: (⊙_⊙；)!!

Liang Qing: o_O? ?

Yuan Yin: ⊙ˍ⊙! ?

All three of them were dumbfounded.

Especially Yuan Yin.

As the one who wielded the Heaven-Capturing Hand, he knew the power of this move better than anyone else, and that was precisely why he was the most shocked.

Even if he didn't use his full strength, judging from Mu Yang's appearance, it didn't seem like he used his full strength either.

In fact, Mu Yang did not use his full strength.

Putting aside everything else, he didn't activate the Vajra Indestructible Lapis Lazuli Seal, nor did he receive any blessing from the Flowing Wind and Golden Light.

He couldn't even use his five senses to control him.

Otherwise, Yuan Yin probably wouldn't have even had the chance to create distance.

Yuan Yin: Should I say thank you?

Mu Yang: We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

Seeing that Mu Yang made another move after stopping, Yuan Yin spoke up repeatedly.

It's not that I'm scared, it's that I feel there's no need to continue.

This is just a friendly sparring match; if we continue fighting, it will be a fight to the death.

It wouldn't be good if anyone got hurt in the end.

"You kid, you really are... really a monster!" Yuan Yin rubbed his right hand, which he had just used to clash with Mu Yang, and exclaimed as he did so.

At the age of twenty, with a cultivation level of six, he physically withstood the innate martial arts of a seventh-level martial artist.

Yuan Yin never dreamed that one day these words would be connected.

Even if Mu Yang tells him tomorrow that he has opened up the two acupoints of his life soul, he probably won't be too surprised.

"Thanks to Lord Yuan for showing mercy."

Mu Yang smiled modestly and said.

Mu Yang's attitude towards his own people has always been gentle.

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

"Mu Yang, are you really still only at the Enlightenment Realm?"

On the way back, Yuan Yuan couldn't resist her curiosity and asked.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yin and Liang Qing both subconsciously slowed down and pricked up their ears.

Although judging from his aura, Mu Yang was indeed only at the Opening Acupoint Realm.

But judging from Mu Yang's performance just now, some people might believe he is a True Qi Realm martial artist.

"Yes, I just opened my spiritual aperture."

Mu Yang nodded.

If Yuan Yin and the other two had heard before the fight that Mu Yang had gone from the initial stage of the Enlightenment Realm to opening up the five major body apertures and five major spiritual apertures in just a few months, they would have been extremely surprised.

But now, they feel that it's outrageous that Mu Yang hasn't even opened the two apertures of his life soul, given his performance.

In other words, Mu Yang hasn't even reached the sixth-order limit yet.

"Indeed, every generation produces its own talented individuals!" Yuan Yin exclaimed.

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

Soon, the four returned to the city.

Liang Qing and Yuan Yuan followed Yuan Yin to the Yuan residence, while Mu Yang went to the Demon Slaying Division outside the city to settle the merits and sell the items.

The merits in the settlement were eleven first-class merits at the prefecture level.

As for the proceeds from the sale, they added up to three top-tier Earth-level merits, equivalent to killing three sixth-tier demons.

Afterwards, Mu Yang went to sweep through the armory.

He originally intended to exchange for more storage crystals as inventory, but unexpectedly, he had emptied most of his inventory last time, and now there was very little left.

Left with no other choice, Mu Yang could only tearfully spend seven lower-level regional merits to exchange all 350 remaining gas storage crystals in the warehouse.

At this point, Muyang only has 19 outstanding achievements at the prefecture level yet to be realized.

Sigh, the troubles of having money~~

In the following days, Mu Yang visited acquaintances such as Dai Wang and Qin Yuan. Along the way, Lei Sai and Zhou Yao treated Mu Yang to several meals at the best restaurant in Qinghe County as a token of their gratitude.

According to Lei Sai, they are already engaged and have chosen a date, which will be next month.

It's a pity that Mu Yang is about to leave with Yuan Yin and the others, otherwise we could have had a wedding feast.

"Brother Mu, you're already twenty, aren't you planning to find a partner?"

Some of the drunken Resai asked this question.

"I am devoted to martial arts and will not be swayed by romantic feelings." Mu Yang casually picked up the last piece of roast duck in front of Lei Sai.

"That's true, Brother Mu, you have exceptional talent, unlike me. I'll probably only reach the fifth level in my lifetime, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to leave Qinghe County."

Perhaps he had drunk a bit too much, because Lei Sai started to feel melancholy again.

Finally, he sighed, "If only my child and Sister Yao's child had half of your talent, Brother Mu."

Zhou Yao nodded in agreement.

However, she also knew that this was impossible.

After all, a child's talent is largely determined by their parents, and even if there are some changes, they shouldn't be too different.

"To live a peaceful and safe life is a kind of happiness."

Mu Yang said with a smile.

If given a choice, who would willingly risk their life on the line?

In this world, being able to live peacefully is already better than 99% of people.

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

Time flies, and the day of departure has arrived.

On this day, many of Mu Yang's acquaintances gathered at the city gate.

Lei Sai, Lei Jiaojiao, Zhou Yao, Qin Yuan, Mei Cao, Dai Wang, Shen Chongyuan, Li Xiulian, Huang Can, etc.

Basically, everyone who knew Mu Yang came.

Even Prefect Lu of Qinghe County brought a group of officials to see them off.

Of course, their main purpose was to escort Yuan Yin; Mu Yang was just a side trip.

After all, the two weren't very familiar with each other.

"Let's go."

Yuan Yin waved his hand and mounted a cloud-white steed.

Like Little Black, that BMW had scaly hooves that could generate clouds and mist, clearly belonging to the Cloud Scale Horse clan.

However, his cultivation level was much higher than Xiao Hei's, reaching the early stage of the sixth rank.

It was a rare mare, and Little Black was completely mesmerized by her.

"As long as you work hard, you'll have everything you need in the future."

Mu Yang was making empty promises to Xiao Hei.

Saying it's just wishful thinking might be a bit inaccurate. After all, once Xiao Hei's strength improves, finding a mare or even a female dragon wouldn't be a problem.

"By the way, do you know anything about the Fengyun Sect?"

On the way, Yuan Yin asked.
