"Killing Body Style!"
Gu Yang opened his eyes, his gaze filled with intense killing intent. After a while, the killing aura dissipated, and he returned to normal.
He had just inherited the martial arts experience from this simulation, mastering the second form of the Nine God-Slaying Techniques.
He finally understood why the simulated him could die alongside a Second Rank expert.
This was a technique that aimed to destroy both oneself and the enemy.
Killing Body Style, burning one's own martial will, condensing the killing intent to the extreme, to kill the enemy.
It could be said that it first kills oneself, then the enemy.
This was a method similar to the Heavenly Demon Disintegration, a killing move used only when there was no other way out.
He remembered that Ling Ling had also used a secret technique in a certain simulation, forcibly elevating her realm to ultimately kill an enemy of a higher rank.
The technique Gu Yang had previously mastered was called Jade-Breaking Style, mainly using the intent of the blade to suppress the opponent, competing with martial will. Although he defeated Tian Fei easily last time, if he encountered an opponent with a stronger martial will, he would lose very badly.
From these two blade techniques, it could be seen that the Nine God-Slaying Techniques were extremely extreme. Either kill the enemy cleanly, or be killed cleanly, or die together cleanly.
In any case, the Killing Body Style could be considered a powerful trump card.
Of course, Gu Yang's gains were not limited to this.
His blade techniques had reached a new realm. As for how strong he was now, he would have to test it out.
"I wonder who that mysterious old man is and why he helped me."
Gu Yang couldn't help but think about the mysterious old man who had guided his blade techniques in the simulation. He wondered if he would encounter this person again in the next simulation.
The old man had guided him for several months, making his blade techniques advance rapidly. He was undoubtedly a world-class expert.
Unfortunately, he didn't know the old man's name, and he wouldn't know how to find him in the future.
It was truly a pity.
At this moment, Gu Yang sensed something and turned his head in a certain direction. He felt a sharp aura, like a sword that had just been unsheathed.
That direction was where Xu Ruomei lived. After removing the seal of the Yuan Lock Bracelet, her cultivation had finally recovered.
Thinking of her, Gu Yang thought of the sword slave who had been guarding nearby.
This sword slave was a Second Rank cultivator.
Perhaps, he could use this...
A moment later, Xu Ruomei's aura subsided, and Gu Yang closed his eyes, calming down to digest the gains from this simulation.
...
The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, a group of people arrived at the Gu family's gate.
Zhang Xiaohai opened the door and saw people carrying boxes, blocking the road outside.
When he asked, he learned that these were things sent by the Fang family.
He didn't dare to make a decision, so he asked them to wait and went to inform Gu Yang.
Gu Yang had already heard the commotion and came out. Without waiting for him to speak, he said, "Have them move the things to the west wing."
"Yes."
Zhang Xiaohai responded and went to direct the people.
These large boxes were filled with silver.
How much is 500,000 taels?
50,000 pounds, 25 tons.
Stacked up, it would be a little over two cubic meters.
Divided into smaller pieces and placed in boxes, with 10,000 taels per box, it would be 50 boxes, almost filling the west wing.
After the 50 boxes were moved into the wing, Gu Yang didn't count them and let the people from the Fang family leave.
Then, he sent Zhang Xiaohai away and closed the door, closing his eyes to sense for a while. The feeling of being spied on had become very faint.
In fact, after the news of his ranking on the Hidden Dragon List spread, the feeling of being spied on had become extremely weak.
The sword slave no longer hid nearby and spied on him as recklessly as before.
After confirming there were no issues, Gu Yang began to recharge the system.
As for whether this would raise suspicions, he no longer cared.
In this simulation, a Second Rank expert suddenly appeared, chasing him for a whole year to capture him alive. The purpose of the other party could be guessed.
He also knew who had sent this person.
The eldest son of the Lin family had just left, and a Second Rank expert came to kill him. Who else could it be?
Or was it because his realm had advanced too quickly, causing trouble?
When he met Lin Zirui in Tianshui City, it was only a little over a month ago, and at that time, he was only a Sixth Rank cultivator.
The people around Lin Zirui at that time were definitely not low in cultivation, and it was normal for them to see through his realm.
In just over a month, from Sixth Rank to Third Rank, it was not surprising that Lin Zihua would be interested.
The key was that in the previous simulation, Lin Zihua had seen him but did not have any thoughts. As the eldest son of the Lin family, he would definitely have sent people to investigate him.
But this time, he sent people.
If there was any difference between these two times, it was that Gu Yang had spoken up to protect the Fang family.
This undoubtedly touched the interests of the Lin family.
Lin Zihua, who appeared graceful and had the demeanor of a noble, was actually petty and vengeful.
Gu Yang had already been mentally prepared after ranking on the Hidden Dragon List. Others were not blind or foolish; his rapid progress could not be hidden.
That was why he hated the Red Mansion so much.
Originally, he could have continued to hide.
Now, with the exposure on the Hidden Dragon List, he couldn't hide anymore.
What Gu Yang needed to do was to quickly improve his strength. As long as his strength was strong enough, what did it matter if his secrets were exposed?
Which of those Divine Realm experts didn't have some secrets and opportunities? Who would dare to target them?
Next, he opened the boxes one by one, recharged the system, and then closed the boxes again.
After doing this, he opened the system, and the balance had exceeded 640,000.
Gu Yang felt a sense of joy. With this money, he could conduct 32 more simulations.
Next month, another 500,000 would come in, and the balance would directly exceed one million.
The premise was that there would be a next month.
In a few days, the Second Rank expert would come to kill him.
Although he had already practiced the "Killing Body Style," the result would ultimately be mutual destruction.
How could he get through this?
When Gu Yang walked out of the west wing, he was still thinking about this problem, and gradually, he had an idea.
Returning to his room, he initiated another simulation.
[At 22 years old, you are already a Third Rank cultivator, ranking seventh on the Hidden Dragon List, and famous throughout the world. You sympathize with Xue E's plight and decide to help the Fang family break free from the Lin family's control. You negotiate with Lin Zihua and get his promise.]
[The next day, you leave Pingjun City quietly with Su Qingzhi, heading to the capital. You join the Tianxin Martial Hall. Cheng Tianxin, upon learning of your intentions, refuses to take you as a disciple and insists on addressing you as a junior brother. You become the little uncle of the Tianxin Martial Hall...]
