I will return you 10,000 times my money. I am the strongest furnace in the Demon Sect.

Sure enough, Dugu Zhan had met the Saint Yuan Ancestor.

When the Saint Yuan Ancestor left the Demon Sect, it was at least three thousand years ago. So Dugu Zhan has lived for more than three thousand years?

People who practice Buddhism really live a long life.

Zhao Mu didn't think much about it, and then began to learn the three-step half-body technique from Dugu Zhan.

The so-called body method refers to the method of winning, the method of repelling the enemy, the method of avoiding disaster, and the method of moving forward.

All flexible behaviors on the battlefield can be summarized in Shenfa.

Elementary body skills, focusing on body coordination, quick action, and surprise.

What is needed is strong responsiveness.

But the three and a half steps are different. This is an earth-level high-grade skill that has transcended the limitations of the body and pays more attention to perception.

The practitioner's perception does not rely on his eyes, but on his induction of spiritual energy.

This ability to perceive is also called spiritual consciousness.

The most powerful thing about three and a half steps is that it can greatly enhance the ability to sense spiritual consciousness within a distance of three steps.

According to Zhao Mu's understanding, three and a half steps is more like a small-scale domain space than a movement technique.

Within the three-step field, spiritual consciousness can observe all subtle changes and can even make predictions, never reaching the state of being invincible in close combat.

Zhao Mu finally understood why Dugu Zhan would use these three days to teach him the three and a half steps of identity.

This set of movements only needs to be mastered briefly, and it can bring about a considerable improvement in the ability of divine sense sensing and judgment.

Once you engage the enemy in close combat, you will have the opportunity to dominate and gain a greater advantage with your superior divine sensing ability.

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

Bloody Battle Hall, under a waterfall in a valley.

Zhao Mu stood on a grassy hill. At his feet was a newly broken beehive. There were a large number of bees flying around. They were erecting their poisonous needles and attacking Zhao Mu from all directions and angles.

Zhao Mu closed his eyes tightly and replaced his eyes with spiritual perception to capture the movement trajectory of every bee.

All bees' attack routes were clearly presented in Zhao Mu's mind.

He is like a shadow, constantly moving within a three-step range to avoid the bees' attacks.

Hundreds of bees tried to pierce their stingers into Zhao Mu's body, but they were all neutralized by Zhao Mu's clever and flexible movements.

Even if the bee's stinger has touched Zhao Mu's skin, at that moment, as Zhao Mu's body moves, the stinger will be deflected and will never penetrate into Zhao Mu's skin.

Zhao Mu seemed to be stung by bees repeatedly, but in fact Zhao Mu was unscathed.

After this state lasted for more than ten minutes, Zhao Mu slowly opened his eyes after feeling that the bees were beginning to lose their strength.

Bang.

A searing spiritual wave erupted from Zhao Mu's body, sending all the bees flying away.

Dugu Zhan walked over from outside the valley.

He nodded with satisfaction: "In just three days, you have been able to practice three and a half steps to such a high level. It is very good. I believe it can also be used in actual combat of hunting monsters."

Zhao Mu stepped forward: "Master, what exactly is this hunting day? Everyone in the sect seems to pay special attention to today."

Dugu Zhan said: "To put it bluntly, Hunting Day is the annual small assessment of Shengyuan Demon Sect. On this day, the disciples under each elder will compete to hunt monsters and compete for rankings to show the achievements of the past year's practice. Specific matters , just follow me and you’ll find out in a moment.”

Zhao Mu nodded and kept up with Dugu Zhan.

After a while, Zhao Mu arrived outside the main hall of the Bloody Battle Hall.

Almost all the disciples in the Bloody Battle Hall have gathered here. The total number is not one thousand but eight hundred. The scene is very grand.

"Is everyone here?" Dugu Zhan asked.

Xiao Wugui stepped forward and reported: "Master, all the disciples in the Bloody Battle Hall have gathered and are ready to leave at any time."

"Let's get going."

After saying that, Dugu Zhan rose into the sky and stepped forward to lead the way.

The disciples followed him in great numbers.

Those in the second echelon are naturally the three direct disciples, Zhao Mu, Xiao Wugui, and Xing Ziyue.

Xing Ziyue greeted Zhao Mu with a smile: "Junior brother, when you arrive at the Secret Realm of Warcraft, follow the senior sister. The senior sister will ensure that you are safe and sound."

protect me?

Thank God you didn't eat me.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior sister, but this is my first time participating in a hunting day, and I still want to experience it alone."

Xiao Wugui heard this and said: "Junior brother's idea is correct. Hunting day is a rare day where you can fight freely. It is a good opportunity to hone your fighting ability and should not be missed."

"Senior brother, what you said is wrong. Our junior brother is now the public enemy of the demon clan. I don't know how many demon clan disciples hold a grudge against him. If he is left alone, it will be difficult to guarantee that no accident will happen. It is safer to follow the senior sister."

Xiao Wugui said: "I am also a demon clan. Could it be that I would be harmful to my junior brother? Besides, there are masters and other elders watching on the hunting day. What accidents can happen?"

Before Zhao Mu said a few words, the two people started arguing.

While they were talking, everyone had arrived outside the west gate of the Demon Sect.

After passing the mountain gate in front of you, there is an endless forest of monsters outside.

At the foot of the mountain gate, the team led by eleven sect elders has assembled.

Almost more than 90% of the inner disciples and direct disciples of the entire Shengyuan Demon Sect were present. There were tens of thousands of people, and the scene was quite grand.

Zhao Mu glanced around and found many familiar people.

Xiong Yourong and Niu Yulan are together.

Tao Subai was with the inner disciples of Yaowang Valley.

He even saw Lu Qi, following closely behind Elder Lu Haikong. It seemed that she had temporarily regained her freedom and was promoted to an inner disciple.

Zhao Mu even saw Chu Jiaoran, who was in the largest team and seemed to be under the command of the Great Elder.

Not far from Chu Jiaoran, there was also a very eye-catching figure.

The man had flying blond hair, handsome and sharp. His every move gave people a strong sense of oppression, like a sharp sword that could be released at any time. Zhao Mu just took a look and felt his eyes were pierced by needles.

Such a strong sword intent.

Not surprisingly, this person was Long Tianxiang, the fifth on the Tianjiao List of direct disciples, and Lu Qi's fiancé.

While Zhao Mu was looking at him, Long Tianxiang turned around indifferently and looked at Zhao Mu with cold eyes.

"Ahem."

The burly old man beside Long Tianxiang coughed lightly, and Long Tianxiang then stopped his killing intent and turned around.

Could this old man... be the Great Elder of the Demon Sect?

Zhao Mu didn't think much about it and continued to look forward.

At the front of all the teams, there stood two peerless figures.

An Zixuan was one of them.

The other man with black hair like a waterfall and a stern look should be the Demon Sect's Saint Jun Mo.

"The time has come, get ready to go."

An Zixuan gave an order, flew up to the sky first, and led the way.

Jun Mo walked side by side with her, causing many female disciples to tremble.

"The Holy Son is so handsome."

"The Holy Son and the Holy Daughter are so well matched that I can't even feel jealous."

"I dreamed of the Holy Son again last night. I gave birth to seven children for him. Although it was just a dream, I have no regrets in this life."

"If I can become a Taoist partner with the Holy Son, I will not hesitate even if it means shortening my life by a thousand years."
