In the morning, Tang Zheng went to the lecture hall for class, and in the afternoon, he practiced combat with Azhi at the training ground. Tang Zheng's days passed by quickly.

"PK skills, PK skills..." There were very few people in the entire Tang Family Castle who had decent PK skills, and Azhi was one of the few. If he didn't seize the opportunity to practice, his PK skills would definitely deteriorate quickly.

For a high-level player, PK skills were the top priority, followed by level and skills, and lastly, equipment.

However, in his previous life, he had sold all the top-tier equipment, which was a significant regret.

Thud...

On the初级 training ground, Azhi was once again knocked over by a sword, spinning in the air for half a circle before falling to the ground.

"Again!" Azhi raised his short sword and wiped his cheek, which had been grazed.

Tang Zheng didn't hesitate, grabbed Azhi's short sword, and charged forward.

Clang, clang, clang...

After a few rounds of attack and defense, Azhi's short sword was knocked away.

"Again." Azhi ran to pick up his short sword and turned back.

"Ho ho ho ho ho..." On the side, Old Ghost rubbed his chin and laughed continuously.

His gaze rarely lingered on Azhi.

He had seen Azhi's combat experience from childhood to adulthood, so there was no need to watch him closely now.

Therefore, he mostly observed Tang Zheng.

Azhi, who had grown up in a pile of corpses, was actually being overwhelmed by Tang Zheng in combat experience, which even he found hard to understand!

If this person were a top expert on the Starlight Stronger List or the Shadow Stronger List, he could勉强 understand, but what made it interesting was that this person was only in his early twenties and had only reached the initial stage of the first star!

The huge disparity in age, strength, and combat experience was very thought-provoking.

Clang...

Azhi's footwork was once again disrupted, and he was kicked out of the training ground by Tang Zheng.

What made Azhi most furious was that he heard the little bell clapping without fail!

Spring days were warm and cold.

In Tang Zheng's morning class, he had already switched to teaching "The Starlight History: The Families."

From single characters to complete sentences, from sentences to events, he taught in a way that made the children reluctant to leave the class...

However, Tang Zheng himself spent much more time on it.

These family histories were much more convoluted than the "Spring and Autumn History of the Purple Gold Empire" he had taught before. There were many conflicting records of the same major events, and if he didn't organize them, he couldn't continue teaching!

In his previous life, Tang Zheng was a lone wolf. Even when he formed a team, it was never a fixed one. If he could solo, he would, and if he couldn't, he would create conditions to solo.

However, after coming to the Starlight Continent, he spent at least half of his time not on "leveling up," "improving skill proficiency," or "obtaining equipment," which were considered the main tasks.

Tang Zheng closed the book on the table, scratched his head, and smiled, "Maybe, I also want a 'family'?"

...

After practicing PK skills in the afternoon, Tang Zheng returned to his courtyard in the evening and started practicing martial arts.

More than 900 threads of star power had quietly settled in his body. As he began the opening move of the "Dagger Technique," a fierce wave of star power surged!

Tang Zheng held the dagger in one hand, and the star power flowed as he thrust it out.

The paper hanging in front of him didn't even move.

However, upon closer inspection, a tiny hole as thin as a hair could be seen on the soft paper!

Even the ancient sages who wrote the "Dagger Technique" probably never imagined that someone could practice the opening move to such a level!

A new thread of star power emerged from the top of the star wave and merged back into it.

"908..." Tang Zheng took a step back and started the opening move again.

The star wave surged, wave after wave, and new star waves continuously formed. Sweat began to appear on Tang Zheng's forehead.

Practicing martial arts to cultivate star power was much more tiring than running or jumping rope. After about ten moves, the star power would start to wane, and he would need to rest before continuing.

However, today, he was close to 1000, and Tang Zheng decided to push through and reach the mid-stage of the first star.

908...

911...

919...

Tang Zheng was getting closer to the mid-stage of the first star.

At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded directly above his head!

Snap, the mechanism was activated.

"Sure enough, it's happening again... Don't! Just kill properly, don't tear off the roof!" Tang Zheng couldn't care less about the last few threads of star power and darted out of the room in a flash.

Bang!

The mechanism on the roof was continuously triggered.

If his roof was torn off again, he couldn't imagine how the craftsmen of Tang Family Castle would look at him tomorrow.

Taking a few steps out, Tang Zheng's footsteps stirred the wind.

The star wave in his body surged, breaking through the 1000 mark in one go!

"Embarrassing." Tang Zheng was certain that there were very few people in the world who broke through to the mid-stage of the first star while preventing someone from tearing off the roof!

Thud, thud, thud...

The mechanisms on the roof were triggered in a chain reaction!

Tang Zheng grabbed a nearby branch, swung to the beam, and kicked the tree trunk, rushing up to the roof.

What he saw upon reaching the roof was a towering mountain star image behind the assassin!

A star as bright as daylight moved with the wind.

This bright color indicated that the assassin had reached the peak of the first star.

A faint yellow light flashed on the assassin's body, and the deadly mechanisms he set up only left a few cuts...

All the spikes hit the assassin's chest but were repelled, not piercing through at all!

"Is there such a martial skill?" Seeing the situation, Tang Zheng quickly suppressed his aura.

Ten steps, five steps, three steps...

Using the mechanisms as cover, he moved lightly on the roof!

Until he was close to the assassin...

Dagger Technique, opening move!

Tang Zheng launched a killing move right away.

The assassin was focused on dealing with the mechanisms on the roof. Only when the star power impact was close did he roar, and a surge of star power formed a protective shield around his body!

Tang Zheng felt a powerful counterforce as soon as he used the martial skill.

The star power of the mid-stage of the first star and the peak of the first star were still several levels apart!

"Star power forms a wave... extends into the dagger, thrusts out." Tang Zheng concentrated and performed the opening move twice in succession.

The surging star power condensed into a thin line, piercing through the peak of the first star martial artist's protective skill!

The star power, with its sharp piercing force, almost penetrated his body!

The dagger's blade followed and pierced in.

"Ah..." The assassin screamed, and his star power surged with blood, forcefully pushing Tang Zheng's dagger out of his body!

"..." Tang Zheng felt a tightness in his chest and immediately took two steps back.

Swish.

A row of poison needles flew over.

Tang Zheng ducked to avoid them, and the poison needles hit the assassin's body!

Clang, clang, clang...

The poison needles, carrying star power fluctuations, were all repelled by his body.

"MT playing assassination, are you kidding me?" Tang Zheng cursed and immediately jumped off the roof.

The assassin could withstand the mechanisms on the roof with his body, but Tang Zheng couldn't do the same.

On one hand, it was for the sake of the battle environment, and on the other hand, he really didn't want to damage his roof again!

Tang Zheng jumped off the roof in a few steps, but the assassin's speed wasn't slow either, and he quickly followed.

The axe was heavy, and the dagger was light!

Tang Zheng used his agility to engage in several rounds of combat with him.

However, the damage from the axe was higher than that of the dagger...

One hit created a pit in the ground, and if it hit Tang Zheng, he wouldn't have the chance to swing his dagger again!

But in this situation, Tang Zheng was still holding back!

He wanted a live captive!

With the second assassination attempt, he didn't want to be on guard all the time. If he could capture a live person, he could at least find out who had put a price on his head.

Who were those few kind people in the Hidden Blue Manor?

As a reward for their kindness, Tang Zheng would kill them first!

However, the assassin was at the peak of the first star, and it wasn't easy for Tang Zheng to capture him alive. After using the Dagger Technique twice, his star power was already running out, but the assassin's thick star power still protected his entire body, and each swing of the axe triggered a martial skill...

At this moment, a series of flying knives shot at the assassin's face!

"Master, what's happening?" Tang Zixie's voice sounded from outside.

"Zixie, Xuanxuan." Tang Zheng remembered that since the last assassination attempt, there had been patrols around his courtyard every night.

Today, they just happened to catch the assassin!

One at the peak of the first star, one at the high stage of the first star, and Tang Zheng quickly formed a包围 around the assassin!

The assassin clearly didn't expect anyone to come so quickly. Seeing the situation, he immediately turned to run...

"Stop him." Tang Zixie stepped forward to block the assassin.

The assassin immediately swung his axe at Tang Zixie in front of him!

Clang!

Tang Zixie, who practiced hidden weapons, couldn't withstand such a heavy and swift blow.

His agile body could easily dodge!

However, he didn't want to let the assassin escape and actually took the hit!

Both were at the peak of the first star, and neither was weak. Tang Zixie, enraged, pushed the assassin back several steps with one blow!

At the same time, a crisp sound of a dislocated joint in Tang Zixie's left arm reached Tang Zheng's ears.

"Damn, that's my student!" Tang Zheng's hearing was already sharp, and this crisp sound made his heart tremble.

All thoughts of capturing a live person were instantly thrown to the wind!
