Chapter 2

Upon hearing this, the female demon across from him pouted and pounced over, "Oh, little brother, you’re so direct, I like it."

The longer one lives, the deeper the scheming. What seemed to be a gentle and soft demeanor was all an act. She appeared to be cooperative, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

When she was less than half a meter away from Zhou Xuan, her aura suddenly changed, and her murderous intent became apparent.

She quickly extended her right hand, with long, sharp nails that were as sharp as swords, pointing directly at Zhou Xuan’s chest.

Zhou Xuan had only a Silver Rank Three cultivation level, one rank lower than the female demon.

However, he was not at all flustered when facing the female demon. There was a demon-suppressing stone at the door, and if he couldn’t handle her, he could quickly retreat outside, where the female demon wouldn’t be able to follow.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t risk his life so easily.

He immediately activated his Star Soul, and a weed appeared behind him, emitting a green glow.

Then, he gathered the power of his Star Soul into his fist, raised his hand, and struck out, the wind whistling as his fist moved with great force.

This was precisely the Mighty Bull Demon Fist he had obtained the day before!

With a loud thud, the attack of the human and the demon collided, causing a shockwave.

The difference in cultivation levels, combined with the fact that he had only obtained the fist technique the day before, resulted in Zhou Xuan being pushed back outside. However, he successfully made contact with the green-clad woman.

In the next moment, the voice of the Unscientific Sign-in System sounded in his ear.

“Ding, target detected, do you wish to sign in?”

He didn’t hesitate, immediately responding in his mind, “Sign in.”

“Ding, sign-in successful, obtained Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. By fusing with the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, your Star Soul can evolve.”

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, with its nine leaves, each as sharp as a sword, was a legendary object of great evil, capable of cutting through the sun, moon, and stars, and severing the flow of time.

Zhou Xuan hadn’t expected that signing in on a weed would yield the legendary Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, and he was so excited that he shuddered.

Indeed, it was unscientific!

“Little brother, I haven’t even touched you yet, why are you shuddering?” The green-clad female demon waved at Zhou Xuan, “Come in, let big sister take good care of you.”

She couldn’t leave, so she could only try to lure Zhou Xuan inside.

Upon closer inspection, her delicate fingers had disappeared, replaced by sharp, blade-like leaves, incredibly sharp.

Such sharp leaves could easily pierce through the body of a Silver Rank Three Hunter like Zhou Xuan.

Seeing that Zhou Xuan was unmoved, the green-clad female demon laughed, “Little brother, what are you afraid of? Big sister won’t bite you.”

The previous attack had left Zhou Xuan in pain, but he didn’t hold a grudge.

He would take revenge on the spot.

He softly murmured, “Fusion with the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, evolve the Star Soul.”

Now, in the confrontation between humans and demons, humans had awakened their Star Souls, becoming Hunters, which gave them the ability to hunt demon beasts.

Human cultivation was essentially the process of strengthening the Star Soul, making it crucial.

Zhou Xuan’s Star Soul was originally just a weed, very ordinary, with little potential. But with the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass entering his body, his Star Soul was directly replaced by the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.

This meant that his Star Soul had evolved from a weed to the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, a qualitative leap.

At that moment, he shuddered again.

It was from excitement.

As his Star Soul evolved into the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, an unprecedented power erupted from his body.

This was the power of the Star Soul, as sharp as a sword, filled with lethal force.

His cultivation level also began to rise, from Silver Rank Three to Silver Rank Four, then to Silver Rank Five...

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass glowed, releasing a powerful force that spread in all directions, forcing the female demon, who had cultivated for a hundred years, to retreat continuously.

She felt the astonishing changes in Zhou Xuan, her mouth agape, as if she had turned into the sixth emoji on your phone.

She had a Silver Rank Four cultivation level, but now she couldn’t even withstand one of Zhou Xuan’s attacks.

In the end, she was forced into a corner by the powerful force.

Her clothes were tattered, her hands clasped around her body, trembling, “No, no.”

“Green hats are the ugliest,” Zhou Xuan coldly snorted, stepping forward and delivering a powerful attack.

With a casual strike, he shattered the green hat on the female demon’s head. Not only that, the powerful Star Soul force exploded, directly reducing her to her original form.

Her true form was a foxtail grass. Originally, she was lush and green, but now she was withered, with no leaves left.

Zhou Xuan gained immense power from the transformation of his Star Soul, his cultivation level skyrocketing, breaking through several minor ranks to reach Silver Rank Nine.

He forcibly suppressed the urge to continue breaking through and began to consolidate his cultivation level.

He spent some time consolidating his cultivation level, finally gaining initial control over the new power in his body.

Then, he activated the Turtle Breath Technique, disguising his cultivation level as Silver Rank Four.

Even for a janitor, there were evaluations, once a month. Tomorrow was the evaluation day.

If he hadn’t improved, he would be dismissed.

By disguising his cultivation level as Silver Rank Four, he had improved by one rank compared to a month ago, which was enough to pass the evaluation and continue working as a janitor.

At the same time, just improving by one rank wouldn’t attract too much attention.

You need to sign in quietly, cultivate peacefully, and become invincible.

Zhou Xuan completed the disguise and walked out.

When he went out, his steps were still a bit unsteady.

Indeed, this was the price of being too fast.

It seemed he still needed to spend time consolidating his cultivation level and getting familiar with the new power.

Zhou Xuan turned and went to the adjacent Room 5, where a Lightning Weasel was kept.

It was only a foot long, completely white, fluffy, with big, bright eyes, like a ball of meat.

It looked cute and adorable, but it was highly toxic and extremely dangerous.

Moreover, it had incredible agility and moved at an unimaginable speed. Being targeted by it often meant death without even knowing how it happened.

The value of the Lightning Weasel lay in its poison. Every so often, someone would come to extract the poison for other uses.

Zhou Xuan now had a Silver Rank Nine cultivation level, and the Lightning Weasel was also Silver Rank Nine. However, he didn’t dare to enter easily.

He knew that the Lightning Weasel’s speed was too fast, making it unpredictable.

Being bitten once would result in severe poisoning, which wasn’t worth it.

He opened the door and stood at the entrance, watching.

The Lightning Weasel inside couldn’t come out because the door was sealed by a demon-suppressing stone.

The foot-long Lightning Weasel, with its big, blinking eyes, looked at Zhou Xuan with a defiant expression, saying in a soft, childish voice, “I, the Lightning Weasel, will never be a slave!”

Zhou Xuan didn’t say anything, just casually threw a “Big Spicy Strip,” a two-meter-long venomous snake, which was the Lightning Weasel’s favorite food!

“Unless there’s a Spicy Strip!” The Lightning Weasel’s eyes lit up when it saw the venomous snake, and its expression instantly changed.

It had been hungry for several days, and there was nothing more joyful than seeing food.

With its maximum agility, it transformed into a white blur and pounced on the two-meter-long “Big Spicy Strip.”

The Lightning Weasel’s speed was so fast that Zhou Xuan almost couldn’t follow it with his eyes. Such agility made him envious.

In just two seconds, the foot-long Lightning Weasel had killed the two-meter-long “Big Spicy Strip” and was happily gnawing on it.

A “Spicy Strip” for the body!

Two months ago, it was lured back with a “Spicy Strip.”

Later, it was captured and realized it had been tricked.

What people needed was just its venom!

“Mouthing love for me, but thinking about my saliva, hmpf.” It muttered softly while eating.
