Chapter 76

"In the Ancient Demon Cave, there is a type of Undead called the Thunder Demon, which is a Viscount-level Undead. Although the Thunder Demon is not particularly powerful among Viscount-level Undead, it is very troublesome due to its large numbers and the confined space of the Ancient Demon Cave," Feng Xian said.

"How many Thunder Demons are there in the cave?"

"It's unclear, but there must be over a hundred. In the past, the Four Knights led the elite of the Knight Order to clean out the Ancient Demon Cave. Now that the Four Knights are no longer around, it's unknown how many Thunder Demons have gathered in the cave."

"We should be careful, but if we have good luck, we might obtain the Radiant Light Set, which is a very good set, not inferior to the Hell Flame Messenger Set," Feng Xian, true to his merchant nature, first thought about the benefits that could be gained from the Ancient Demon Cave.

"Uncle Seven, you have good ideas, but unfortunately, the probability of the Thunder Demons dropping the Radiant Light Set is extremely low. Even if we kill all the Thunder Demons in the Ancient Demon Cave, we might not get even one piece. Don't dream of something unrealistic. Think more about how to find the Eight-Eyed Celestial Lord," Feng Xian said with a smirk.

"Is the Radiant Light Set more precious than the Hell Flame Messenger Set?" Bai Cangdong was somewhat skeptical. The Hell Flame Messenger is a very powerful Viscount-level Undead, and there is only one of them. The Hell Flame Messenger Set, which it drops, is incomparable to the sets dropped by the numerous ordinary Viscount-level Undead.

Seeing Bai Cangdong's confusion, Feng Xian explained, "All sets are essentially better than ordinary equipment. Even among sets of the same rank, there are differences in quality. How to judge them depends on many different criteria. For example, the Hell Flame Messenger Set and the Eight-Eyed Celestial Lord Set. If used by two Viscounts of equal strength, the one using the Eight-Eyed Celestial Lord Set would be more powerful, as it has the abilities of invisibility and revealing, which are very terrifying. However, when facing a Fire-type Count-level Undead, the Viscount using the Hell Flame Messenger Set would have a stronger survival ability, as the Hell Flame Messenger Set can resist some Fire-type privileges, although the probability of resistance is not very high. The value of the two sets depends on what the user needs."

"The Radiant Light Set is somewhat similar to the Hell Flame Messenger Set, as it can resist some Light-type privileges, so its value is not inferior to the Hell Flame Messenger Set," Feng Xian added.

The three of them entered the Ancient Demon Cave. Bai Cangdong could see flashes of green lightning far inside the cave, but no trace of the Undead.

"Be careful. The Thunder Demon's body is just a pigeon-egg-sized lightning core, which can emit terrifying lightning. You must destroy the lightning core to truly kill it, like this," Feng Xian said, drawing a strange knife and throwing it at a nearby lightning. The blade shattered something, and the lightning exploded and quickly disappeared.

"Good skills," Bai Cangdong praised. Feng Xian's move was clean and precise, hitting the vital point without any hesitation, a sight that was pleasing to the eye.

"Unfortunately, it didn't drop the Radiant Light Set. We should agree beforehand that whoever kills the Thunder Demon and gets the Radiant Light Set will keep it to avoid any conflict," Feng Xian said, smacking his lips.

"Alright," Bai Cangdong agreed, feeling a bit eager. He summoned his messy set of equipment and the Baron-level knife and charged towards a patch of lightning.

"Ah!" Bai Cangdong flew back in a miserable state, his hair standing up from the electricity, and faint blue currents still jumping on his body.

"Haha, lightning can spread. Didn't you see me directly throw the knife to shatter the lightning core? You actually dared to charge in with the knife, that's really gutsy," Feng Xian laughed so hard his stomach hurt.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Bai Cangdong said angrily.

"Sometimes, it's better to let you experience things yourself; the impression will be deeper," Feng Xian said, looking at Bai Cangdong. "I remember now, you're the kid who bought equipment from my shop. All the equipment you have is from my shop."

"Your memory is really good, finally remembered," Bai Cangdong said sarcastically.

Feng Xian stopped laughing and threw another strange knife to Bai Cangdong. "Your skills are good, but your equipment is too poor. Use this for now."

The three of them entered the Ancient Demon Cave, with Feng Xian taking the lead in clearing the Thunder Demons. Feng Xian's strength was indeed formidable, and Bai Cangdong was extremely impressed.

Feng Xian not only had deep Life Force Light but also very powerful martial skills. It was the first time Bai Cangdong had seen someone with more agile movements and knife skills than himself.

Unlike Bai Cangdong's bizarre movements, Feng Xian's movements did not involve any incredible mid-air maneuvers, but they had a disorienting quality.

Sometimes, you would clearly see him dodge to the left, but when you attacked to the left, he would have dodged to the right, creating a very strange feeling.

After observing for a long time, Bai Cangdong finally realized that when Feng Xian seemed to dodge to the left, his feet did not move; it was just the movement of his body that gave the impression. When the opponent attacked to the left, they would find him dodging to the right.

Bai Cangdong tried to use Feng Xian's method but found it very difficult. He either really dodged to the left or couldn't fool the Thunder Demons, which made him very frustrated and got electrocuted several times.

"You brat, if my 'Half' movement technique could be learned just by watching, it wouldn't be my exclusive skill," Feng Xian said, amused to see Bai Cangdong trying to imitate his movements.

Bai Cangdong ignored him and continued to try to imitate Feng Xian's movements, but the results were always miserable. He couldn't fool the Thunder Demons and was electrocuted to the point of feeling numb.

"Brat, if you want to learn my movement technique, it's not difficult. Just give me a hundred or so years of life span, and I can consider giving you some pointers. If you want to learn the entire technique, considering you're a friend of my little Xian, I'll give you a 50% discount. I'll only charge you 500 years of life span, and I'll teach you until you master it. If you don't learn, I won't charge you a penny," Feng Xian's merchant nature was evident.

Bai Cangdong naturally couldn't give him 500 years of life span; he didn't even have 50 years.

"What's wrong?" Bai Cangdong tried several more times but still couldn't imitate the essence of the 'Half' movement technique, unable to create the illusion.

Calmly observing Feng Xian, after a long time, Bai Cangdong suddenly had an epiphany. He thought to himself, "The 'Half' movement technique is a Viscount-level technique, and it must involve a special application of Life Force Light. I can't just imitate the surface; it won't work."

This time, Bai Cangdong started to pay attention to the flow and changes of Feng Xian's Life Force Light. Although he couldn't see how it circulated inside Feng Xian's body, the changes in the external Life Force Light gave him a lot of inspiration.

"Life Force Light can be used in such a way!" Bai Cangdong marveled and began to try to change the way he used his Life Force Light.

"It seems he has discovered the fundamental secret of the 'Half' movement technique, but trying to imitate the circulation of Life Force Light just by watching is too naive," Feng Xian thought, sneering.

Bai Cangdong tried to change the way his Life Force Light circulated, but it was very difficult at first. He hadn't truly seen how Feng Xian's Life Force Light circulated, so his attempts were based on superficial observations, which naturally had a large margin of error and couldn't achieve the same effect as Feng Xian.

After several attempts, Bai Cangdong found that his movements were even worse than when he just imitated the movements, like the story of the man from Handan learning to walk. This made Feng Xian laugh and mock him continuously, strongly suggesting that Bai Cangdong pay tuition to learn from him.

"I am a super genius, unmatched in the past five hundred years and the next five hundred years. You can't even imitate me to a tenth of my skill. Quickly offer your life span, and I'll teach you personally. I guarantee you'll learn to a third of my skill, which is enough to make you invincible among Viscounts," Feng Xian boasted without blushing.

Feng Xian's words were like a thunderbolt to Bai Cangdong, who realized, "I don't know how his Life Force Light circulates. Trying to deduce it is like a small error leading to a huge mistake. I should just focus on how to use my Life Force Light to improve my movements."

Bai Cangdong tried it and found it effective. At least, he wasn't as miserable as when he was purely imitating Feng Xian.

At first, Feng Xian kept promoting his movement technique, emphasizing how good and difficult it was to learn without his guidance. However, as he spoke, he gradually fell silent and just watched Bai Cangdong with a strange expression.

Bai Cangdong indeed couldn't imitate Feng Xian's 'Half' movement technique, as there were many differences in the movements and the circulation of Life Force Light. However, Bai Cangdong did manage to use his movements to deceive the Thunder Demons, which, in a way, meant he had imitated the 'Half' movement technique.

Of course, the movement technique Bai Cangdong created was still in its early stages, far from matching the power, effect, and practicality of Feng Xian's 'Half' movement technique. However, if he continued to improve it, who could guarantee that it wouldn't surpass Feng Xian's 'Half' movement technique in the future?

"Cough, boy, what are you doing with this messy thing? It's a disgrace to the name of my 'Half' movement technique. Quickly forget about this mess and pay some life span, and I'll teach you the real 'Half' movement technique," Feng Xian said, a bit勉强 (strained).

Bai Cangdong was very satisfied with the movement technique he had created and said with a smile, "Although this movement technique is not very powerful now and is inferior to the lowest Viscount-level martial skill, it is still a Viscount-level skill that uses Life Force Light. Since it is derived from your 'Half' movement technique, I'll call it the 'Quarter' movement technique."
