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

"Holy crap, the bet's been placed!"

Looking at the last entry on the panel, Mu Yang felt his heart beat faster.

It wasn't just the excitement of having a golden entry right in front of me that thrilled me; it was also the excitement of this law-breaking intent, which was definitely the will of martial arts!

And it's the very top-tier kind!

In other words, once this term is activated, he'll be just a matter of cultivation level away from reaching the eighth rank.

It should be known that many seventh-level martial artists waste their lives at the seventh level because they fail to comprehend their own unique martial will.

"I never imagined that I would have already paved halfway through the path to the eighth rank without even opening my life aperture or tempering my true energy!" Mu Yang thought to himself with a sigh.

Moreover, even disregarding the gold attribute "Intent to Break the Law," the effects of the other three purple attributes are quite formidable.

The martial arts skill attribute states that for each fully mastered seventh-tier martial arts skill, the power of all moves will be permanently increased by 10%.

For most seventh-tier martial artists, mastering a seventh-tier martial skill to perfection is already quite difficult.

Those who can master two or three perfect seventh-level martial arts techniques are extremely rare geniuses.

But for Mu Yang, it was just a matter of a thought.

Unfortunately, the trigger requirements for martial arts skill entries are different types of martial arts skills.

In other words, equipping a seventh-tier palm technique will trigger the effect, but equipping another palm technique will not trigger it.

To trigger it again, you need to switch to finger techniques, fist techniques, leg techniques, or the like.

Then, Mu Yang glanced at the True Qi and Myriad Law entries.

The former can enhance the amplification effect of True Qi, increasing it by 10%.

If he could gather all ten attributes, the power boost from a single strand of his true energy would likely reach two thousand jin.

The latter reduces the consumption of physical strength and energy, which is also quite good.

As for the prerequisites for activating the intent to break the law?

Relatively speaking, it's best to complete the ten activations of the True Qi attribute.

As long as I kill a few more seventh-tier demons, I can exchange them for the ten forging techniques in the Demon Slayer's armory.

That should be enough to complete most of the task.

As for martial arts...

"Fists, palms, fingers, legs; knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks..."

"Collecting twenty of them shouldn't be too difficult..."

Mu Yang muttered something to himself.

He knew of no fewer than twenty obscure weapons.

Given the resources of the Demon Slayer Division, as long as he has enough merit, exchanging for it shouldn't be a problem.

Therefore, activating the martial arts skill attribute twenty times is not difficult.

The problem is that he doesn't have enough credit to show for it.

"Kill the demon, kill the demon, we still have to kill the demon!"

Say the important thing three times.

After Mu Yang calmed down and put the stack of books into his sleeve pocket, he followed Lu Zongsong out of the city's armory.

Stepping out of the armory gate, sunlight bathed him, and Mu Yang looked at Lu Zongsong, casually asking, "Brother Lu, what are you planning to do next?"

Although Lu Zongsong was a cold person, he was indeed willing to answer any questions: "I accepted a mission related to a sixth-tier demon."

Mu Yang was not surprised by this.

The people of the Demon Slaying Division are naturally focused on slaying demons. Investigations like the one involving Ghost Lantern Temple or Medicine King Valley are something that might not happen again for many years.

Extremely rare.

After all, if this were commonplace, there probably wouldn't be many powerful forces left within Anling Prefecture.

On another note, with so many demon-hunting captains in the Demon-Slaying Division, how many sixth-tier demon corpses must they collect every month!

If he were given that, it probably wouldn't be long before he could physically confront an eighth-tier demon lord.

Of course, Mu Yang was only thinking about it.

There are so many people in the Demon Slayer Division, and unlike Mu Yang, they don't need to rely on food to recover.

In fact, the daily consumption of demon beast meat by the Demon Slayer Division is astronomical.

We don't even have enough to eat at home, how could we possibly give it to him?

However, since we can't get our hands on the demon corpses from the Demon Slayer Division, it seems like we could give Lu Zongsong a try!

Remembering Lu Zongsong's indifferent attitude towards material possessions, Mu Yang tentatively asked, "Brother Lu, how do you usually dispose of the corpses of the monsters you hunt?"

"Sell it to the armory."

Lu Zongsong said.

As Gu Changkong's apprentice, Lu Zongsong rarely had to worry about his daily meals.

Cultivation resources and martial arts techniques were also provided by Gu Changkong.

Therefore, the monsters he killed were sold directly to the armory.

If it weren't for Yao Lao's strict orders—either sell it or keep it for himself—Lu Zongsong would have actually prepared to give it to the armory.

"Sell it to the armory...?"

Mu Yang muttered to himself, then casually added, "Brother Lu, how about this? After you hunt down a sixth-tier demon, can you sell its corpse to me? I'll buy it back at double the price from the armory."

Even if a demon can cultivate to the sixth rank, its bloodline grade is only mortal, and its attributes are rarely white, mostly blue.

In other words, a sixth-tier demon corpse guarantees a power boost of at least three million jin, a large amount of blood and qi, and decent demon blood spell attributes.

If you can buy it with your merits, it's much more cost-effective than exchanging for a sixth-tier martial skill.

"Need not."

Lu Zongsong shook his head: "I'll give you the demon corpse, you just need to spar with me."

"How about a day of sparring with a demon corpse?"

To reiterate, Lu Zongsong has no shortage of resources, and killing demons is simply his duty as a disciple of the Demon Suppressor.

In contrast, becoming stronger is what he pursues.

But with his current strength, unless he spars with a Demon Suppressor, ordinary sixth-tier Domain Seekers and Demon Suppressors are no match for him.

"Just sparring?"

Mu Yang was taken aback when he heard Lu Zongsong's words.

He doesn't want credit but wants sparring partners; that's really Lu Zongsong's style.

"In that case, there's no need for a single day or two. As long as I'm in Anling Prefecture, Brother Lu can spar with me anytime."

Lu Zongsong was so generous, so Mu Yang naturally reciprocated.

Anyway, he doesn't need to spend extra time cultivating. As long as Lu Zongsong has the energy, he can fight for ten days, let alone one.

There is no need to limit the time.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zongsong's eyes lit up almost imperceptibly.

He looked at Mu Yang and said earnestly, "You're such a good person."

Mu Yang:.........

That sounds a bit strange.

It's like giving out friend cards.

However, considering that he would soon be able to obtain the corpse of a sixth-tier demon for free, Mu Yang didn't care.

In high spirits, he immediately made the decision: "There's no time like the present, Brother Lu, how about we practice today?"

Lu Zongsong was tempted, but quickly shook his head: "My Destiny Aperture is about to open, so it's not advisable to take action now. Let's wait a while."

"Alright."

Mu Yang didn't insist: "Then let's talk about it when I get back."

After saying this, Mu Yang parted ways with Lu Zongsong, then informed Gu Changkong and Yuan Yin before riding Xiao Hei away from the Demon Slayer Division.

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

Seven days later.

Thunder Valley.

Mu Yang reined in his horse and waited for Xiao Hei to stop before gazing ahead.

A massive canyon stretched across the sky and the earth.

The mountain peaks on both sides soar into the clouds, and the dark rock walls are mottled with dark purple, as if they have been carved with dark patterns after being repeatedly tempered by lightning.

A thick layer of purplish-black thunderclouds hangs over the canyon year-round, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling incessantly.

The rumbling thunder never stopped from the moment we entered the area.

Even the air near Thunder Valley seemed to be filled with electricity; taking a breath made one feel numb all over.

Even Xiao Hei's smooth black mane was slightly bristling at this moment.
