Being a trainee demon slayer is just the beginning. Shen Changqing's pursuit is to become a formal demon slayer and then a guardian.
After breaking through to the eighth level of Pure Yang Kung, he slowed down a bit.
It's not that Shen Changqing doesn't want to continue to make breakthroughs, but that practicing a discipline requires relaxation and relaxation.
Just practice hard.
You may not be able to get what you want.
Less than a year.
I have never started with Pure Yang Kung, but breaking through to the eighth level is already astonishing.
The long period of non-stop practice also made Shen Changqing feel a little tired.
Anyway, in the remaining time, we will definitely not be able to break through to the ninth level.
That being the case.
He didn't want to waste too much energy anymore, but was adjusting his state and preparing for the next task.
After the one-year buffer period for trainee demon slayers.
If you want to become an official demon slayer, you must complete the assessment tasks.
Official slayer.
There are also equal divisions.
Just like the four demon slayers, the official demon slayers are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow.
If you go up to the rank of apprentice demon slayer, you will be the yellow rank demon slayer.
As long as he completes the assessment task, Shen Changqing can become a yellow-level demon slayer. As for failing to complete the task, the consequences are needless to say.
Because the mission of the Demon Suppressor Division has never been repeated.
Or finish it alive.
Or die in failure.
All demon slayers face monsters and monsters, and monsters and monsters don't show mercy.
If it's right.
Either they die or they die themselves.
——
In the courtyard.
Shen Changqing rolled up his sleeves and sat on a bench.
There was a flat stone placed in front of him.
The long knife that belongs to him is currently being held by Shen Changqing in his hand. He presses the blade with his left hand, and then causes the blade to rub against the stone bit by bit.
Sharpen the knife!
Two days off.
Let Shen Changqing's condition return to an unprecedented peak.
But I still couldn't completely calm down in my heart.
so.
He thought about sharpening the knife.
Each Demon Slayer is equipped with a weapon, and the specific type can be freely selected according to each person's situation.
Shen Changqing's weapon is a long sword.
The style of the long sword was somewhat similar to a weapon from a dynasty he knew in his previous life.
That is - Tang Dynasty Mo Dao!
These weapons are the most lethal.
This is also the reason why Shen Changqing chose the long knife.
Of course, compared with the real Mo Dao, there are still some differences.
For example - length!
The friction between the blade and the whetstone produced a harsh and regular sound that echoed in the quiet courtyard.
Then he stood up, pure Yang energy poured into the blade, and the dirt remaining on it disappeared, causing the long blade to reflect a frightening cold light.
The long sword is sheathed.
He walked towards the courtyard gate.
When he opened the courtyard door, he happened to see Jiang Zuo standing outside.
"Manager Jiang is here!"
"It seems you are ready."
Jiang Zuo saw Shen Changqing with a knife at his waist and a slight smile on his face.
The longer he stayed in contact with Shen Changqing, the more he gradually found out some of the other person's secrets.
for example,
When did Shen Changqing gain true energy, and what kind of martial arts is he majoring in now?
After learning that the other party had been promoted to Tongmai within two or three months of joining the Magic Division, Jiang Feng understood why Liu Chang treated him differently.
Unparalleled genius!
Placed anywhere, he is a rare figure.
suddenly.
Jiang Feng sighed: "It's a pity that you joined the Demon-Suppressing Division. If you joined other Jianghu sects, your talent will definitely be cultivated vigorously. You will definitely not reach the realm of Tongmai, and you will have to face those things.
But once you join the Demon Suppression Division, there is no turning back.
No one can escape from the Demon Suppression Division. Even if you defect, the Demon Suppression Division will hunt you down to the end.
Even if those Jianghu sects know that you are a traitor to the Demon Suppression Division, they will definitely not dare to accept you."
The Demon-Suppressing Division is no better than other sects.
After joining the Demon Suppression Division, you either reach the top alive or die during the mission.
Even a peerless genius cannot be an exception.
at this point.
strictly speaking.
In the eyes of those peerless geniuses, the Suppressing Demon Division is very unfair, but in the eyes of others, the Suppressing Demon Division's approach of treating everyone equally is actually worthy of praise.
Hear the words.
Shen Changqing smiled lightly: "What are you saying, Manager Jiang? Now that I have joined the Demon Suppression Division, I have never regretted it.
If I hadn't been taken in by the Demon Suppressor, I might have died in some deserted mountain or ridge, or become food for monsters and monsters, so how could I stand here and speak."
"You're right."
Jiang Feng looked at him deeply, then smiled again.
"Actually, you have a higher probability of passing the assessment than most trainee demon slayers. You major in Pure Yang Kung Fu, which is the most powerful martial art.
When you reach a high level, you can control weaker monsters.
Most of the tasks for trainee demon slayers are to deal with ghost-level monsters, so as long as you are careful, it won't be a big problem."
Finished.
Jiang Feng paused for a moment: "For the sake of you and me having the opportunity to become true colleagues in the future, I will give you another warning.
During the task, don’t easily believe what you see, and don’t easily believe what you hear.
Monsters use illusions to kill people. Once you are trapped in it, it will be difficult for you to get out. How to break it is up to you."
"There are many things that I cannot tell you in detail, because I have imparted too much experience to you, which may not be beneficial to you.
There are too many types of monsters and monsters. If you really have to follow one method to deal with them, it will definitely be a dead end.
How to deal with critical moments depends entirely on your own abilities."
Jiang Feng's voice was solemn.
When the other party finished speaking, Shen Changqing clasped his fists and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Deacon Jiang, for clarifying my doubts. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you!"
"Haha, you don't have to be too serious. I'm explaining these precautions to you. They are all what we, the manager of the Demon Slayer Academy, should do.
You can solve some common things in the library.
But when it comes time to actually go on a mission, I will need to explain something to you carefully, so that we can reduce some losses."
"Having said that, I still dare not forget Deacon Jiang's guidance!"
Shen Changqing's expression remained solemn.
What Jiang Feng said is one thing, but what he did is another.
Saying a few nice words will not bring any loss to yourself, so why bother making people annoying.
Hear the words.
The smile on Jiang Feng's face became more obvious.
After explaining some things that needed attention, he handed a white jade pendant to Shen Changqing.
"The Qingling Jade Pendant is a treasure refined by the Demon Suppression Division. Whenever there are evil spirits, the jade pendant will give a warning.
Kill those things at the same time, and corresponding marks will appear on the Qingling Jade Pendant.
This trace is your basis for completing the mission."
"Qingling Jade Pendant!"
Shen Changqing looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and after hearing Jiang Feng's words, he understood that this was indeed a precious treasure.
Not to mention anything else, just from the appearance alone, it is already worth a lot of money.
It looks like it.
The Demon-Suppressing Division almost always has one.
From this aspect alone, we can see how wealthy the Demon Suppression Division is.
but.
Shen Changqing also noticed the loopholes in Jiang Feng's words.
"What Deacon Jiang means is that the mission must be completed after killing the monster. So if someone else kills the monster, wouldn't it mean that I have failed the mission?"
"Yes, but no. Once the monster is killed, your mission will be completed, but without the Qingling Jade Pendant as a basis, you cannot be promoted to the yellow rank Demon Slayer.
Because every yellow-level demon slayer must have the strength to compete with ghost-level monsters.
And as long as a monster dies within ten feet of you, the Qingling Jade Pendant will capture its aura.
Normally, as long as you are within the range, then the monster will not die at your hands, and you can still be promoted."
Jiang Feng shook his head and explained Shen Changqing's doubts.
See the other person's look of understanding.
He said one more thing.
"As a yellow-level demon slayer, all tasks performed will be related to monsters. If you don't have the strength to match the monsters, even if you are reluctantly promoted, it will be a dead end.
Therefore, when performing tasks, if you can avoid being opportunistic, then try not to be opportunistic.
Because the more powerful the monster is, the more difficult it is to deal with.
If you are opportunistic, you can only harm yourself in the end.”
"Been taught a lesson!"
Holding the Qingling jade pendant in his hand, Shen Changqing solemnly handed it over.
He also understood what Jiang Feng said.
Any official demon slayer respects strength.
All opportunistic tricks are vulnerable in the face of absolute power.
Even if you are lucky enough to complete the promotion mission, you will not be so lucky every time in the many subsequent missions.
The yellow level demon slayer is just the beginning.
In the future, there will still be mysterious levels, earth levels and even heaven levels.
Demon slayers at each stage need to complete corresponding tasks, and no one can avoid them.
Not strong enough.
In many subsequent missions, he is destined to perish.
See this.
Jiang Feng didn't say much more.
He has already said everything that needs to be said, and the rest can only be learned in the process of performing tasks.
So when Shen Changqing realized it, Jiang Feng got to the point.
"According to intelligence, there are strange things causing trouble in the Lin'an City of Guangyuan Prefecture. According to the evaluation of the Demon Suppression Department, there are indeed strange things there, but their strength is not too high, roughly around the You level.
Your mission is to go to Lin'an City and completely eliminate the monsters there.
This is some specific information, you can read it slowly on the way."
