Since the completion of the Iron Sand Palm, Shen Changqing has stayed in the Demon Suppression Division for nearly half a year.
During this period of time.
He has been specializing in the Hundred Battles Sword Technique and the Tianluo Ta Gang Footwork.
Period.
Shen Changqing also went to the library and learned more about a martial art called Catkin Body Technique.
as expected.
After the catkin body technique is memorized, words that can be integrated appear on the panel for the Tianluo Steps and the catkin body technique.
Just limited by the shortage of kill value, there has been no way to integrate.
same.
Iron Sand Palm and Mountain Opening Palm are also limited because of this.
Shen Changqing was not too anxious about the shortage of killing points.
Although the evil spirits in Da Qin are causing trouble now, it is not difficult to plunder the killing value. As long as you kill a few evil spirits, the killing value will naturally increase.
but.
He was not too anxious.
That's right, with his current strength, Shen Changqing is confident that no demon below the evil level can be his opponent.
However, the world is huge and there are many powerful evil spirits.
Whether it is the You level or the Resentment level, it is not that powerful at all.
and.
Although he is confident in dealing with evil spirits below the evil level, if there are too many, he may not be able to escape completely.
Shen Changqing understands very well.
In this world, no strong person can be invincible.
Even those who are as strong as the Guardian Envoy will sometimes fall into the hands of evil spirits.
Although my strength is not bad, if I really want to wander around, I might die at the hands of evil spirits at some point.
Especially since he destroyed a stronghold of the Eternal Alliance not long ago, it is very possible that he is already on the Eternal Alliance's must-kill list.
In this situation.
Shen Changqing would never go out casually.
Only when one's own strength has been raised to a point where there is no further progress can one go out to hunt evil spirits and gain kill points.
The previous three months.
Add the current half year.
His strength has improved a lot in more than half a year.
Hundred Battle Sword Technique has reached the peak of the third level, and is not far behind the fourth level. As for the Tianluo Steps, it has reached the fifth level, and is about to cross over to the sixth level.
Period.
Shen Changqing also swallowed and digested the bottle of Tongmai Pill that he exchanged for, thus opening up a few more meridians.
Although there is no way to make the Tianwu Gang Qi make a breakthrough, it can make the True Qi a bit more powerful.
“It has been almost ten months since I returned from my last mission. The one-year rest is about to end. Even if I practice hard for two more months, there will be no major breakthrough in martial arts.
In this case, we can consider carrying out the mission.”
Shen Changqing thought to himself.
Nearly ten months of latent cultivation, although I have not made any breakthrough in my realm, my foundation has been greatly enhanced.
In other words, I was fighting against myself ten months ago.
He has a certain degree of confidence that he can kill his former self without paying too much of a price.
“If you have a chance, you can try to fight against the grandmaster, but it’s too risky——”
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, cleaned up briefly, and headed towards the Demon Slayer Hall.
Come to the Demon Slayer Hall.
Because he is a yellow-level demon slayer, he also killed the yellow-level demon slayer.
Huang-level palaces are similar to merit palaces and treasure palaces.
There are many windows divided into sections, where some demon slayers either accept or submit their own tasks.
Come to an empty window.
Shen Changqing showed his identity token.
“Shen Changqing, the yellow-ranked demon slayer, is here to take over the mission.”
"Um."
The person in front of the window is an old man with a scar on his face, who looks rather sinister.
I saw him take the identity token, look at it carefully, then take out the paper, write down the name, and then hand the token back.
“I have a lot of tasks here now, you can take a look.”
As he spoke, the old man handed another notebook to Shen Changqing.
See this.
Shen Changqing took the notebook and opened it.
Turn over the first page and you will see the content recorded above.
"There is a demon causing trouble in the area of Moon Worshiping City in Nanyou Mansion. It is initially estimated that about twenty people died at the hands of the demon. The strength of the demon is initially estimated to be in the middle to late You level. The number is one. The reward for completing the task is: two points. Merit!"
Shen Changqing is quite aware of the fact that missions require merit points.
Most of the tasks in the Demon Slayer Division are rewarded with merit points. However, no merit points are given in the assessment tasks for the apprentice demon slayer.
The reason is also very simple.
The trainee demon slayer has just joined the Demon Suppressing Division, and everything is supported by the Demon Suppressing Division, and he has hardly contributed much himself.
Even the trainee demon slayers performed some tasks while they were in the Demon Suppression Division, but strictly speaking, those tasks were not difficult tasks, and they even had no way to create benefits for the Demon Suppression Division.
Hence, the assessment task of the apprentice demon slayer is equivalent to repaying the previous losses for the demon slayer.
But since the Yellow-level Demon Slayer, every mission has merit points, including assessment and promotion missions at various stages.
One mission, two points of merit, seems a bit little.
But what you need to know is.
When killing evil spirits, the evil aura captured by the Qingling Jade Pendant can still be exchanged for merit points.
so.
Strictly speaking.
After completing a mission, you will get three or four points of merit.
A bottle of Tongmai Pill only costs six points of merit. Earning three or four points of merit for a task is already considered a generous reward.
but.
Shen Changqing just glanced at it and skipped this task.
A monster in the middle and middle stages of You level cannot stand in his eyes at all. He has finally completed a mission, so there is no need to choose one with such a low difficulty level.
He was originally a top-notch innate warrior, and he had a great advantage in performing tasks among the yellow-level demon slayers.
If you choose some simple tasks to do, how many years and months can you accumulate enough killing points?
Turn to the second page.
There is also a detailed introduction to the task above. Unfortunately, like the first task, the difficulty of the second task is about the same.
Soon, I turned to the third page again.
——
After a while, Shen Changqing closed the book and handed it back again.
“Why, no suitable task found?”
The old man looked strange.
He watched Shen Changqing flip through almost half of the book, but he couldn't find any mission that he wanted.
You must know that the above tasks are not too difficult, and any yellow-level demon slayer can be sure to complete them.
But it is naturally impossible to achieve 100% completion.
"When did the Demon Suppression Division produce such a weak demon slayer who dares not even carry out such a task? It will be difficult for him to have any future in the future."
The old man sighed secretly in his heart.
In his eyes, Shen Changqing is the type who doesn't live long.
If you are too cautious and timid, the probability of dying in future missions is not as high as usual. After all, being cautious is a good thing, but being too cautious is a bad thing.
Just when the old man was feeling helpless, Shen Changqing spoke.
"Are there any difficult tasks? I think the difficulty of the above tasks is average. As the person who manages the task release, I believe you have a lot of knowledge about the tasks of the Demon Suppression Division today."
He was too lazy to look through them one by one, so he might as well just ask directly.
“Um—you think the difficulty of the previous tasks is too low?”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shen Changqing carefully up and down, as if he wanted to get to know the person in front of him again.
There are many people who come here every day to receive tasks, but there are only a handful of people who dislike the low level of the tasks.
Every person who says this has a very high degree of confidence in his or her own strength.
He calmed down his mind and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Shen Changqing.
“As for the missions that are a bit more difficult, there is one. I just don’t know if you are sure about taking it.”
“Your Excellency, please speak.”
“There are evil spirits in Jincheng, Dahuang Prefecture. According to the intelligence, the strength of the evil spirits causing trouble there was originally judged to be around the beginning to the middle stage of the You level, so it was listed as an assessment task for the trainee demon slayer.
But later, there was news from the Tianchawei that there were suspected signs of demon activities from the Eternal Alliance in Jincheng. It was suspected that there was a stronghold of the Eternal Alliance there, and the difficulty of the mission suddenly increased a lot."
While the old man was speaking, he flipped through the pages at the back of the book, looked down at the information above, and then looked up to explain.
“Eternal Alliance Stronghold?”
Shen Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly.
Any Eternal Alliance stronghold has considerable strength. It would be a good thing if there really is an Eternal Alliance stronghold.
But he did not interrupt, but allowed the old man to continue.
"but--"
The old man paused and then continued.
"You have to know that in any Eternal Alliance stronghold, there are demons of the innate realm, and there are even demons above the Nether level hiding there. Generally, only Xuan-level demon slayers are qualified to take on such tasks. Pick.
But because the matter of the Eternal Alliance stronghold cannot be 100% certain for the time being, sending a few Xuan-level demon slayers there for an uncertain matter is undoubtedly a waste of effort, so the difficulty of the task will be reduced to the Yellow level."
Wait until the old man speaks.
Shen Changqing asked: “What do I need to do?”
“If you want to accept this mission, the mission is divided into two parts. In the first part, when the trainee demon slayers complete the mission, if their lives are in danger, you can help protect them.
If all the trainee demon slayers return safely, you can get two additional points of merit.
But there is a premise for this, that is, unless there are evil spirits beyond the mission, otherwise, you cannot help kill the evil spirits. Once you violate the rules, not only will there be no merit point reward, but two merit points will be deducted."
The old man said a lot in one breath, and then spoke again.
“The second mission is to find out whether there really is a stronghold of the Eternal Life Alliance in Jincheng. Although the Tianchawei has strong intelligence capabilities, it is weak in strength and needs the cooperation of a demon slayer.
After completing this mission, you can get three points of merit. With the first mission, there are a total of five points of merit."
Hearing this, Shen Changqing finally understood the specific task process.
Soon, he thought of some questions again.
“What if I destroy the Eternal Alliance stronghold?”
