My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

It was at this moment that

Whoosh!

A knife plunged between the two, shielding the burly man from the fatal blow, sparks flying everywhere!

"We are foreign guests from the Northern Liao Dynasty invited by your emperor to attend the coronation ceremony of the empress in ten days. Is this how you, the so-called Celestial Empire, bully foreign guests?"

After a fair duel, they shamelessly tried to kill the victor.

Are you such a sore loser?

A middle-aged man dressed in Hu clothing, who appeared to be of noble status, stopped the young girl.

Upon seeing the man, the burly Hu man immediately knelt respectfully on one knee and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince!"

"Okay. Yas, you can go now. I'll take care of things here."

"Yes."

The burly man turned and left.

The girl gritted her teeth, but dared not attack again, because she already knew from the brief contact that her opponent was a first-class martial artist, a master on the same level as the master of Qingfeng Manor, and that she, a third-class martial artist, was no match for him at all.

Unable to avenge her, she could only watch helplessly as the burly man left.

A private room in a restaurant a few hundred meters away.

Qian Chuanxue said, "You already knew that the barbarian's swordsmanship was fast?"

Leng Yichen said, "No, I don't have that ability. It's just that the Hu man had many old wounds in his vital areas, and he looked like someone who had been through life and death. If such a person didn't have any trump cards, he would have died long ago."

On the other hand, the successor of Qingfeng Manor, although possessing profound internal energy and skillful swordsmanship, simply followed the sword techniques from start to finish throughout the battle. He was clearly a complete novice with no real combat experience, fresh out of school.

"I see," Qian Chuanxue said, suddenly realizing.

Leng Yichen walked to the table and picked up a chopstick.

"What are you going to do?" Qian Chuanxue asked upon seeing this.

"That barbarian committed all sorts of evil deeds in our Great Xia Dynasty, so it's destined that he won't be able to return alive."

"But the barbarian was exhausted just now, and if I had killed him, it would have seemed like taking advantage of his weakened state. However, now that the barbarian's second prince is here, if I were to kill him, it would show that they are incompetent."

Leng Yichen finished speaking.

The chopsticks, imbued with the sword energy of the Absolute Sword, shot out with the force of thunder; Leng Yichen had no intention of sneaking in or concealing his attack.

Before the burly Hu man had taken two steps, a wave of fear washed over him.

Not just him, but everyone present seemed to have a hallucination, feeling a sharp, piercing sensation.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a streak of light accompanied by a whooshing sound as it streaked across the heavens.

The second prince looked up at the sky and exclaimed in surprise, "This sword energy... it's the work of a master!"

After he finished speaking, he swung his sword with all his might at the sword energy in the air.

He was also a first-rate master, and considered himself invincible among the younger generation of Northern Liao, but this was the first time he had ever seen sword energy of this level.

Sure enough, the moment the Second Prince's blade touched the sword energy, the Vajra Blade creaked under the strain.

"Such strong penetrating power!"

Clang—!

With a loud crash, his Vajra Sword shattered.

"Ah—!!" The burly Hu man screamed in agony as his chest was pierced and he fell to the ground dead.

The second prince glanced at the burly man's corpse with a blank expression, then glared fiercely in Leng Yichen's direction. After exchanging a glance with Leng Yichen from several hundred meters away, he suppressed the surging anger in his heart and then left silently.

In fact, he had already suffered minor internal injuries from that attack, and he was just pretending to be fine.

Their Northern Liao cavalry was unparalleled in the world, enough to crush the Xia army.

However, the land of their Liao Kingdom seemed to have been abandoned by heaven, unsuitable for martial arts training. There were no innate masters, very few grandmasters, and far fewer masters of other levels than in the Xia Dynasty.

Therefore, they dared not send troops, because with the superhuman strength of warriors, the advantage of cavalry was that they could escape further before being killed.

The man was dead, and the streets gradually returned to their bustling state. The young hero's junior sister had also disappeared without a trace.

If no one collects the body on the street, government officials will collect it and dump it in a mass grave five kilometers outside the city, in the same dense forest where Hui Gang came from.

Now, the bodies on the street have been taken away.

The second floor of the restaurant.

The moment those two young heroes died,

Hui had a strange feeling, a feeling like "hunger".

Hui's mind was automatically thinking, "Eat!"

Instantly, the feeling of "hunger" was filled.

Although Hui vaguely sensed something competing with her for "food" during this process, the other party was too weak, and Hui barely felt anything.

After "eating", a different feeling takes its place.

A warm current flowed down from the back of Hui's head, into her limbs and bones, as if igniting something within her body.

What Hui didn't know was that this was the awakening of Qi.

"...A strange feeling."

Hui stretched out her slender index finger and thumb, pinched her brow, and narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. She felt that everything in her field of vision was swaying slightly.

At the same time, it felt as if something in the outside air was constantly flowing into his body, as if washing away everything inside.

This is the feeling of having one's meridians and dantian opened up, and instantly advancing from third-rate to second-rate. What ordinary people would take years to achieve, Hui obtained simply by watching the spectacle.

It's hard to describe that feeling in words.

In that instant, Hui felt every nerve ending in her body extend outward by more than a meter, breaking free from the constraints of her flesh and connecting directly with the universe…

The feeling came and went quickly. When it was over, Hui opened her eyes and looked around. The world seemed much clearer. She could even see the pattern on the back of a small beetle on a tree in the distance.

At the same time, a strange memory and insights from sword practice flooded into Hui's mind and were absorbed by Hui.

Immediately afterwards, the large, Hu man was also killed.

The same feeling washed over me again.

When Hui finally opened her eyes, she, who had never practiced martial arts before, was already able to master the "Thirteen Swords of Wanhua" and the "Eight Blades of Sky Splitting".

The internal energy cultivation techniques "Demon Extermination Heart Sutra" and "Essence Source Technique" also seemed to have been practiced by Hui for decades. The two automatically circulated in Hui's meridians and merged to form a completely new internal energy cultivation path, which automatically circulated in Hui's meridians.

In addition to these, there were also basic martial arts techniques and light-body skills such as "Basic Sword Techniques" and "Soaring Steps," which Hui instantly understood.

At this point, even someone as slow-witted as Hui would understand.

I... have a cheat code.

However, this cheat ability has a very warped set of values: it can become stronger as long as people die!

Feeling the powerful internal energy circulating within her body, Hui murmured, "Me? I've already reached the second-rate level?! Is martial arts training really this simple?!"

However, suddenly, an unprecedented and intense hunger surged through her body, and Hui felt as if she could eat a whole cow.

"Waiter, bring me all your best dishes!"

······

Source of Chapter 185

The waiter was initially hesitant, thinking he had misheard.

However, Hui simply and domineeringly slammed ten taels of silver onto the table.

Although wealth should not be flaunted.

But that was before. Now, Hui feels full of power and is not afraid of anyone causing trouble.

The waiter seemed even more efficient than before when he saw the silver.

Soon, a table was filled with delicacies from land and sea.

Hui had no appetite for the food at that moment; she just ate mechanically, her chopsticks never stopping.

The food was devoured in a whirlwind, and only then did the intense hunger pangs in Hui's small body subside.

It was at this moment that Hui noticed the strange looks people were giving her. Being stared at like that, Hui suddenly felt embarrassed, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

As Qin Jiuxian watched the petite beauty before him devour a roast suckling pig, half a beef leg, a roast duck, a stir-fried duck, and a fish, his mind was in turmoil.

Seeing that Hui hadn't stopped him, he ate and drank all three dishes on the table without leaving a drop of oil.

And so, his stomach, which hadn't been full for two days, was so full that he couldn't eat anything else.

But when Qin Jiuxian looked at the sheer volume of food piled on the table, and then at Hui's flat stomach that showed no signs of protrusion, he felt as if his common sense of the past twenty-odd years had been rubbed into the ground!

However, I remembered my main purpose.

Qin Jiuxian noticed that Hui had slowed down her eating, so he took the opportunity to say, "Girl, you saw her fighting power just now, didn't you? Let me tell you, if you had cultivated this manual, even the mysterious expert who made the final move wouldn't have been a match for you!"

Hui then noticed that Qin Jiuxian hadn't left yet.

Having obtained the memories of the successor of Qingfeng Manor, Hui's understanding of the martial arts world, while not 100% comprehensive, includes some aspects of the internal workings of martial artists.

Take, for example, this book, "The Yin-Yang Life and Death Secret".

What I said was...

This manual is indeed from a real historical period.

It is said to have been created 700 years ago by a palace maid who managed the royal library.

This palace maid was exceptionally intelligent, but her life was full of misfortunes. She could only waste her days in the palace, spending her days reading and her nights counting stars before sleeping.

And so, she read books and counted stars for seventy years. When she was about to die, she seemed to see through the ultimate truth of the universe. She had a ten-day bout of lucidity before death and poured her heart and soul into writing this secret manual: "The Yin-Yang Life and Death Secret". Then she peacefully closed her eyes.

A palace maid who had received her favor printed five thousand copies of the secret manual according to her last wish, and it spread throughout the world.

Immediately, the whole world was in an uproar!

After all, martial arts manuals are extremely precious items, usually only held by powerful forces, but now, everyone in the world has one.
