Chapter 79

Under the blazing sun.

Zhou Yuan, clad in iron armor, crossed the mountain ridge and finally stopped at a certain place.

"According to the information, this is where the disaster is located."

He looked at the barren land before him, his expression calm.

Upon receiving the news of the disaster, Zhou Yuan came directly to this place.

He was not surprised that the barren land before him was completely different from the small courtyard described in the information.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the right moment.

Time passed quickly, day by day.

As night fell, rain began to pour down again.

In the barren land, which was originally empty, a small courtyard gradually appeared in Zhou Yuan's line of sight.

From nothing to something, it gradually became more solid.

The tranquility of the small courtyard, combined with the candlelight, presented a completely different sensory experience from the outside world.

"Finally, it has appeared!"

Zhou Yuan moved his body, and stepped towards the small courtyard.

For several days, he had been waiting for the disaster to appear.

A young disaster cannot fully manifest its domain and can only reveal its domain at specific times and places.

The manifestation of the domain before him required a specific moment.

The moment, according to Zhou Yuan's thoughts, was a rainy day and dusk.

Sure enough, after several days of waiting, he finally waited for another rainy day.

At this moment, the small courtyard appeared, and the raindrops that fell did not touch Zhou Yuan's body, as if they were repelled by an invisible membrane.

Reaching the courtyard gate, he struck with his palm, shattering the gate.

The loud noise made the sounds inside come to a halt.

Zhou Yuan took a step forward and saw Mo Zijin walking out of the hall.

"Why are you destroying my courtyard gate!"

Seeing the intruder, Mo Zijin's face was filled with anger.

Due to his anger, his facial expression began to twist and become terrifying.

In response, Zhou Yuan's expression was indifferent: "A thing that should have died long ago, don't try to remain in the world to cause harm. If you don't want to leave, then I will send you on your way!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, and his body disappeared from the spot.

In the next moment, his palm struck Mo Zijin.

The violent force instantly shattered Mo Zijin into pieces.

However, the body that had just split apart disappeared, and a scholar appeared in another part of the courtyard, clearly the same Mo Zijin who had just died.

Being beaten for no reason, he burst into a rage.

"You should die!"

"I don't believe the disaster can't be killed!" Seeing the reborn Mo Zijin, Zhou Yuan's expression became more solemn, but he did not stop his attack.

He took another step and struck with his palm, sending a powerful force through the air.

Before Mo Zijin could react, his body was once again destroyed.

Similarly, as soon as his body was destroyed, he was reborn in another place.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan did not stop his attack.

A young disaster, with strength around the Grievance level, was not difficult for him, as a Guardian, to eliminate.

If it were another evil, it would have died in the first attack.

However, Mo Zijin was a disaster that could be considered almost indestructible, and no matter how many times he was eliminated, he would not die.

After several more attacks, Zhou Yuan suddenly stopped, his aura rising, subtly shaking the air.

True Qi condensed around his left arm.

His left arm, wrapped in black True Qi, seemed to be filled with countless wailing and roaring spirits, emitting a fierce and violent aura that swept through the entire courtyard.

This aura also made Mo Zijin's expression even more twisted.

"Die!"

Zhou Yuan growled, his left arm clenched into a fist and struck out.

At that moment, the wailing spirits roared like a fierce wind, sweeping everything away.

From the outside, it looked as if a terrifying force instantly tore the entire courtyard apart.

Everything in the courtyard turned to ashes.

Zhou Yuan stood in place, the black True Qi around his left arm having dissipated somewhat.

His senses expanded, observing the changes around him.

Disasters cannot be destroyed!

This was a long-standing conclusion.

Even the strong of the Demon Suppression Bureau had tried to kill powerful disasters multiple times, but they always ended up reborn.

Some had speculated that destroying the disaster's domain might completely kill the disaster, but this speculation had never been verified.

The reason was that the disasters were too powerful, and while it was possible to kill them once or twice, destroying their entire domain was impossible.

Now, facing a young disaster, Zhou Yuan's reason for acting was to see if, under the condition of the domain being destroyed, the disaster could still be indestructible.

After a moment, two moments, and then five moments, the surrounding space trembled.

The courtyard, which had been shattered into ashes, returned to normal.

The hall was brightly lit.

A scholar stood there, looking at Zhou Yuan with a puzzled expression: "May I ask who you are, and why you have come uninvited?"

"Phew!"

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the person before him, and turned to leave.

Disasters cannot be destroyed!

Even if the domain is destroyed, they can still be reborn.

So he left, leaving very decisively.

Since they cannot be destroyed, there was no need to waste any more effort.

On the plum blossom stakes, Shen Changqing moved his steps, his figure like a phantom, making people dizzy.

After a long time, he stopped, lightly tapped his foot, and stepped down from the plum blossom stakes.

"The Heavenly Net Step is indeed a good light skill. After a period of practice, my leg muscles have become much more resilient, and my movements are much lighter."

Shen Changqing was very satisfied with the changes in his body.

After obtaining the Heavenly Net Step, he had moved a set of plum blossom stakes from the Miscellaneous Hall.

The Miscellaneous Hall was a department of the Demon Suppression Bureau, containing many daily items.

Items like the plum blossom stakes, used for training, were not in short supply.

In the past, Shen Changqing had not practiced light skills, so he had no use for the plum blossom stakes.

It was only after obtaining the Heavenly Net Step that he moved a set of plum blossom stakes from the Miscellaneous Hall.

Returning to the Demon Suppression Bureau, it had been about half a month.

During this time, the rewards given by Zhou Yuan had arrived, five black Demon Suppression Coins, representing five points of merit.

This reward was completely an additional gain.

After receiving the Demon Suppression Coins, Shen Changqing almost never left his room, focusing entirely on practicing the Hundred Battles Saber Technique and the Heavenly Net Step.

In his free time, he also practiced the Iron Sand Palm.

To practice the Iron Sand Palm, he specifically found an iron pot and iron sand to assist his training.

However, his main focus was still on the Hundred Battles Saber Technique, followed by the Heavenly Net Step, with the Iron Sand Palm being the last.

This arrangement was very simple.

The Hundred Battles Saber Technique was the most powerful of his offensive skills.

After one fusion, it was far superior to ordinary skills.

It could be said that the Hundred Battles Saber Technique was his most powerful offensive means, so he focused on this skill.

As for the Heavenly Net Step, while it was a light skill, Shen Changqing did not place too much importance on it.

What he truly valued was the body movement techniques contained within the step.

Body movement techniques were also an essential part of combat.

Especially against strange and unpredictable evils, powerful body movement techniques could often play a significant role.

The remaining Iron Sand Palm, while somewhat optional, was still important.

However, Shen Changqing could not guarantee that he would not engage in close combat with evils.

In close combat, the Iron Sand Palm would be more useful than the Hundred Battles Saber Technique.

The Hundred Battles Saber Technique was a normal offensive skill, the Heavenly Net Step was a skill for killing enemies, and the Iron Sand Palm was a close combat skill.

These three skills complemented his weaknesses.

Combined with the Unbreakable Golden Body, which gave his physical body strong defensive power, Shen Changqing estimated that the skills he needed to practice were almost complete.

"Too much is not good. The panel is not 100% useful. Apart from external and internal skills, the rest require my own hard practice. I am already at my limit with three skills."

He shook his head slightly.

The three skills filled his entire day.

Unfortunately, even with this, after half a month, his gains were not significant.

First, the Heavenly Net Step had not yet entered the first level, and the Iron Sand Palm was still at the third level, with a significant gap to the fourth level.

The Hundred Battles Saber Technique also showed little progress.

Of course, despite the lack of significant progress in the three skills, Shen Changqing could clearly feel that his strength was gradually increasing.

Apart from that, just practicing the three skills daily made his physical fitness stronger.

The Hundred Battles Saber Technique affected the strength of his arms.

The Iron Sand Palm, while strengthening his arms, also made his hands more resilient.

It could be said that Shen Changqing's hands now had the strongest defensive power in his body, a benefit of practicing the Iron Sand Palm.

At the same time, the Heavenly Net Step made his leg muscles stronger.

These changes were not something that could be achieved by simply improving external skills.

Therefore, Shen Changqing understood that the inability to improve skills on the panel was a drawback, but it also had a clear advantage.

That is, through hard practice, he could gain significant benefits during the training process.

At this moment, a sense of hunger came from his stomach.

Shen Changqing returned to his bedroom, took a few Fullness Pills, and then continued his next round of training.

With the Fullness Pills, he did not need to go out to eat, saving the time for meals for training.

Soon, a day passed.

As it approached midnight, Shen Changqing ended his day of hard training, washed his body, and returned to his bedroom to meditate.

Although the Heavenly Martial Qi could not be improved through hard practice, daily meditation and using True Qi to nourish his physical body could help him recover faster from the day's exertions.
