Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

"I see!"

Shen You looked at his gentle and refined second senior brother, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Do you understand?"

Song Zhiqing's eyes widened slightly, showing some delight.

"I know you're showing off!" Shen You said bluntly.

"Pretentious...?" Song Zhiqing was taken aback.

Although he didn't understand what Shen You was saying, he sensed that Shen You seemed to be mocking him.

"Junior Brother Shen You, I may have caused you to misunderstand." He shook his head with a wry smile. "I didn't intend to reveal anything; I just didn't want the two of you to hurt your relationship..."

"Alright!"

Shen You waved his hand and said, "For the sake of you two senior brothers, I'll spare his life! The food's here anyway, I'm going to eat now!"

After saying that, he turned and left, calling out as he went, "Xiao Tian, ​​let's go!"

"Yes, Brother Shen!" Tian Yi'er hurriedly followed.

Behind him, Shi Jie was still gritting his teeth: "That kid, he said he'd spare my life, does he think I'm afraid of him!"

"Alright, alright!" Yao Shan walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "The food's here, stop arguing. If you waste time, you might not get any food!"

Shi Jie's face changed when Yao Shan slapped him with tremendous force, and half of his shoulder slumped down. Hearing that he couldn't get any food, he frowned even more deeply.

He tossed aside his twin swords and hurried forward, saying, "Hmph, I'll spare his life for now! I'll deal with him after I finish eating!"

At this moment, as breakfast was served, all the apprentices in blue robes in the training ground gathered around. Martial artists naturally have huge appetites, and these apprentices had all done their morning exercises, so their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. Seeing the food arrive, they all seemed impatient.

Shen You, leading Tian Yi'er, walked slowly in that direction, still pondering the "ear orifice" that Song Zhiqing had just mentioned.

"For a martial artist to advance from the first to the second rank, they need to 'purify their vital energy,' which involves impacting the 'heart aperture,' also known as the 'vital aperture.' And from the second to the third rank, they need to 'purify their apertures,' where their energy rises even higher, impacting apertures related to the five senses, such as the 'ear aperture'..."

"According to this second senior brother, breaking through the 'ear aperture' will strengthen the ears, allowing them to hear farther? Tsk tsk, I never imagined a third-rank martial artist would possess such miraculous abilities!"

Thinking about this, Shen You realized that Song Zhiqing's words made some sense. If the martial arts in this demon world were so wondrous, then it would be pointless to waste time dealing with a nobody like Shi Jie instead of focusing on cultivating one's own skills.

"And this second senior brother is so handsome! He's handsome inside and out! He's almost as handsome as me!"

Shen You couldn't help but admire him again: "Before I lost my memory, was I someone like him? No, when I came here for treatment, the entire higher-ups of Renxin Hall came out to see me. I must be better than him!"

"I'm his plus version!"

Thinking about it this way, Shen You's mood improved again.

"Brother Shen... Brother Shen..."

Shen You suddenly felt Tian Yi'er tug at her.

"What's wrong?" Shen You asked, turning her head in confusion.

"Over there..." Tian Yi'er pointed ahead, "If we don't hurry over there, we won't have anything to eat..."

"No food?" Shen You was slightly taken aback and looked up.

The scene before her eyes made Shen You's eyes widen in surprise.

"Holy crap, what's going on here? Is this some kind of reincarnation of a starving ghost?"

There, next to the breakfast that had just been picked out, a group of apprentices in green robes crowded around the first few baskets, desperately reaching in to grab a steamed bun or a dumpling.

They grabbed at the food while stuffing it into their mouths, as if afraid that if they were a second too late, they would never get to eat it again.

"Is it really that bad? Are they that hungry?" Shen You asked, stunned.

"Brother Shen, you don't know this," Tian Yi'er explained, "Those aren't ordinary steamed buns. They contain a small amount of demonic beast flesh and blood, and each one can replenish our martial arts practitioners' qi and blood, making up for the energy we consume during training."

Tian Yi'er swallowed hard, a look of disappointment on her face: "These steamed buns and dumplings are always snapped up. We were a step too late, it looks like we'll have to eat the regular food later..."

"Alright!" Shen You finally understood. If it was mixed with demonic beast flesh and blood, then it was indeed worth taking. He had personally eaten demonic beast flesh and blood, and knew best what kind of good stuff it was.

"Don't worry! Even if we're a step too slow, who says we won't be able to get it!" Shen You sneered and strode forward.

Martial artists must fight for their lives. To be humble at this time would mean losing some of the foundation on one's path as a martial artist, so he would not be polite to these people!

Tian Yi'er looked uneasy and reached out from behind, saying, "Brother Shen, even if there aren't any steamed buns or dumplings, there's still a bowl of 'blood-activating soup' for everyone..."

"Hmph, I want the 'blood-activating soup' too! And I want steamed buns and dumplings too!"

Shen You scoffed, "Why should I give it to them!"

As he spoke, Shen You condensed his killing intent in his heart, preparing to unleash another mental shock by condensing "blade intent" to frighten away the crowd in front of him.

Yesterday, he used this trick to scare Shi Jie so much that he knelt down on the spot. Now that he's using it again, he's clearly quite skilled at it.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Shen You silently recited the word "kill" in his heart, and the hateful old face of Huang Yaoshi appeared in his mind. Instantly, the killing intent in his heart surged and transformed into an invisible killing intent, rushing forward!

boom--!

It was as if a phantom streak of blood-red light had pierced through the air and landed directly among the group of apprentices in green robes.

A chilling killing intent spread out, startling everyone who instinctively scattered in all directions.

"What is that?!"

Some people looked around in surprise, unable to figure out what had happened for a long time.

"Ha! I'll accept the steamed buns and dumplings!"

Shen You chuckled softly, and just then, she stepped past the scattered crowd and strode towards the baskets filled with steamed buns and dumplings.

The servants who had carried the baskets over stood there dumbfounded. Although they could tell that Shen You was behind it all, they had no idea how she had managed to do it.

Shen You walked up to the basket and reached out to grab the steamed buns and dumplings.

Bang!

A figure suddenly bumped into them.

"Get out of here! You don't deserve to eat this good stuff!"

Caught off guard, Shen You was knocked back several steps.

Turning his head in surprise, he saw that it was Shi Jie again.

After all, Shi Jie was actually a second-grade cultivator, while Shen You was a whole realm lower than him. If he didn't use his "sword technique," he wouldn't be a match for him.

So it was easily knocked away from the basket.

"asshole!"

Shen You couldn't help but grit her teeth.

He gave his two senior brothers face and didn't cause trouble for Shi Jie, but the guy actually took advantage of that.

"You forced me to do this!"

Shen You turned around to look for the knife.

Song, the educated youth, stood in front of Shen You, a smile on her face:

"Junior Brother Shen You, I promise you'll get a share of these steamed buns and dumplings!"

He sensed something was wrong and surprisingly came over to act as a peacemaker again.

This time, Shen You didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore.

"Get out of the way!"

Shen You said coldly and expressionlessly.

Song Zhiqing stared at Shen You for a moment, then softened her tone and said:

"At least don't kill anyone in the yard, is that possible?"

Shen You narrowed her eyes:

"Swords have no eyes; how would I know if I might kill someone?"

Shen You's "sword technique" is meant to ignite a killing intent within him.

If he didn't want to kill, he would never have been a match for Shi Jie.

"You want me to stop killing?"

Shen You thought to himself with a cold sneer, "This is tantamount to killing me!"

After a moment of silence, Song Zhiqing finally shook his head:

"Therefore, I cannot let you pass!"

Shen You stared intently at Song Zhiqing, slowly clenching her fist.

A burly figure walked over from the side.

Yao Shan also stood beside Song Zhiqing, frowning as he stared at Shen You, and said in a deep voice, "Kid, don't cause trouble!"

Shen You suddenly felt a tightness and pain in her chest.

This godforsaken place, there are rules everywhere, and everything makes him uncomfortable.

"Damn it, I'll just make a scene and lure Old Ghost Huang out. I refuse to believe he'd let me die right now!"

Shen You was already plotting her thoughts, preparing to flip the table.

Behind them, Shi Jie, biting into a steamed bun, wore a mocking smile and sneered:

"You brat, a mere newly admitted doctor, you think you can eat steamed buns?! Go eat shit!"

Shen You took a deep breath and secretly gathered the "Golden Snake Skill" within his body.

The killing move of "Golden Snake Skill" is the "Golden Snake Hand," which is a sure-kill move.

If the "Golden Snake Hand" and the "momentum" are combined, could they form a "Golden Snake Moment" to kill Shi Jie in one fell swoop?

With his two senior brothers blocking his way, Shen You decided to demonstrate his unarmed killing skills.

Ahead, Song Zhiqing's face darkened further, and his smile vanished completely.

"Junior Brother Shen You, don't do anything foolish..."

He said softly.

Shen You looked up and smiled slightly.

"Why would you do something so foolish? I'm perfectly fine..."

Just then, the latent energy within Shen You's body, mixed with a violent killing intent, surged forth in an instant and condensed on his arm.

The essence of the "Golden Snake Skill" is to "conceal one's energy and sharpness, and then suddenly strike to kill the enemy."

Almost without warning, he turned around, and his arm shot out like a snake, carrying a bloody killing intent, aimed straight at Shi Jie's face.

Golden Snake Hand!

"Damn it!"

Shi Jie's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly dropped the bun he had just taken a bite of and raised his arm to defend himself.

Shen You's hand twisted like a snake, passing between his arms and pressing hard against his chest.

Bang!

Shi Jie coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flew backward and crashed to the ground, his face turning a ghastly golden color in an instant.
