From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts

Jingyu's room is much larger than the room Musheng is currently living in.

At least the bedroom also has a kitchenette and a living room.

In the reception room, Jing Yu sat in a rocking chair, looking quite relaxed.

Seeing Mu Sheng approaching, Jing Yu asked with droopy eyelids, "Where did you go today?"

His cloudy gaze met Xiang Musheng's eyes. He couldn't make out the face of the three-meter-tall man, but his eyes gave him a feeling that he had seen him before.

Mu Sheng bowed her head and clasped her hands in a fist salute, saying, "I went back to the ancestral home today; there are some things there that need to be tidied up."

"Is that so?" Jing Yu looked at Mu Sheng with a smile, but didn't continue speaking, as if waiting for something.

Mu Sheng remained motionless.

After a long while, Jing Yu smiled and shook his head. Although Mu Sheng had hidden something, putting aside his physique, his strength to kill demons was something only a Qi-level martial artist could achieve.

Mu Sheng was not yet one of them. Zhenyuan Temple was skilled in internal energy, and naturally they were also better at observing the strength of an opponent's internal energy. Mu Sheng, however, showed no signs of internal energy at all.

As for strength, it depends on one's physical condition. The techniques of "connecting strength," "attacking strength," and "neutralizing strength" are actually just ways to utilize strength. It's hard to tell what kind of strength your opponent has without a fight.

He's overthinking it.

Mu Sheng remained silent, waiting for Jing Yu to speak.

Jing Yu then spoke up at the opportune moment: "Now that the matter of the demons is over, the City Lord's Mansion will take care of the people hanging on the tree, so there shouldn't be too much danger."

In reality, they simply tied ropes to the leaves that enveloped everyone, and then pulled those below down. The leaves themselves served a protective function, and there were blankets and other items underneath to cushion the fall, so at most they would only suffer serious injuries, but they wouldn't die.

This was also for the sake of speed. After all, if they continued to wait, those people would probably starve to death. They just fell into a coma and their bodies entered a low-consumption state, which is why they were able to hold on for so long.

"Your brother and sister-in-law will naturally be rescued as well," Jingyu comforted her.

Instead of refuting, Mu Sheng changed the subject and asked, "Master Jingyu, is that demon dead?"

Upon hearing this question, Jing Yu fell into deep thought. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Judging from the current situation, whether this demon is dead or not is actually a question. If the demon were dead, its creations would have disappeared, but they are still here, so we still need to investigate."

Only by finding that giant might we know the real answer.

They had all witnessed the demon's body disappear; under such circumstances, this mid-level demon should have been dead.

But the fact that creation still exists is very puzzling.

"Can't we be sure if he's dead or not?" Mu Sheng felt a chill. Yang Xing had been forcing him to use demonic martial arts, and in the end, Yang Xing gave him everything he had.

However, his improvement was limited.

It's just that his blood has changed from blue to red, while the other party is not only purple but has even begun to demonize. If such power is really meant to be given to him, why is the increase only so small?

He had this question lingering in his mind. At first, he could explain it away by the fact that there had been some kind of energy depletion involved, but when he heard that it was impossible to confirm the other party's death, this question resurfaced completely.

"Even if that demon doesn't die, it will be severely weakened, and it has some unique characteristics. Even a martial artist with the strength of internal energy could defeat it," Jing Yu explained.

Although demons are called demons, they have not reached a level that is beyond their comprehension. Even if they have a way to avoid death after their bodies disappear, they will inevitably become extremely weak.

"I summoned you here today not for this matter, but for the upcoming selection of inner disciples. How confident are you?" Jing Yu then revealed his true purpose.

"I have some confidence, but what will be the selection process this time?" Mu Sheng asked. If he went all out, unless there was a martial artist with internal energy to fight against him, or a martial artist with superhuman strength, no one would be his match.

"This selection is a competition among all disciples; only one out of twelve will be chosen," Jing Yu said.

Although Zhenyuan Temple suffered heavy losses among its inner disciples, it had many other branches besides this one.

Each sub-view only selects one person, and the number of people is not small.

Mu Sheng's pupils contracted.

"But your martial arts skills are still shallow. When the next spot comes up, we don't know when it will be available again. Moreover, there will be another secret realm in a few years. If you don't enter this time, you will miss this secret realm. So I still agree to your request. As long as you can get into the top five, I will allow you to enter the inner sect of Zhenyuan Temple as a special exception," Jing Yu said with a smile.

This level of comprehension is enough to make up for a lack of talent.

"Thank you, Master Jingyu," Mu Sheng said, clasping her hands in thanks.

"It's not too late to say what to call her then," Jing Yu said meaningfully.

Although Mu Sheng did not understand the key point, he could still grasp the gist of it and clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This disciple will definitely be among the top five."

"Hmm." Jing Yu then slowly took out a book from his sleeve: "I know you are literate. This manual is the true introductory manual of our Zhenyuan Sect. Although it is not as good as the Five Beasts Yuan Technique, it can help you control your strength better. However, this manual must not be passed on in any way. Otherwise, you will be stripped of your martial arts and expelled from the Zhenyuan Sect."

"This disciple guarantees that I will never reveal this to anyone," Mu Sheng hurriedly replied, extending both hands to take the book and looking at the large characters on it.

True Essence Body Tempering Technique.

This is the martial art that Mingliu was taught when he first came up, and now he has obtained it.

"Go and prepare. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Jing Yu waved his hand and said, "I hope you can accompany me when I return to the inner sect."

"Then this disciple will take his leave." Mu Sheng took the manual and respectfully withdrew.

...

Mu Sheng returned to the room and took out the secret manuals that Yang Baiyu had given her, placing both manuals on the table.

One book on True Essence Body Forging Technique, and another on the Twelvefold Vajra Bodhisattva Body.

Only then did he begin to peruse the two manuals.

He quickly finished reading both manuals and then brought up the martial arts instance.

[A Narrow Path (Incomplete) (Yellow) (Beginner) (Can Be Unlocked)]

【Demon Blood True Transformation Technique (Yellow) (Beginner) (Accessible)】

[Medical Explanation of the Qingnang (Beginner Level) (Available)]

[Twelve-fold Vajra Bodhisattva Body (Green) (Beginner) (Can be Unlocked)]

[True Essence Body Tempering Technique (Beginner) (Available)]

There's no need to keep grinding the Five Beasts Yuan Gong and the Tiger Slaying Blade Technique, as they've already reached their peak.

"A new cultivation level has appeared? Green text, is it higher or weaker than yellow text?" Mu Sheng pondered.

However, we should go in and take a look to find out.

"Activate the Twelvefold Vajra Bodhisattva Body." Mu Sheng silently chose to start a new instance.

But a new option has appeared before us.

Does it consume external power?

Mu Sheng: "???"

He fell silent for a moment, wondering where he got the external power source.

Final decision.

"Consumes external power."

"Ah!!" A painful roar came to his ears.
