Relying on Wind Shadow Leg and Azure Steel Fist, Li Changsheng had used only a small portion of his strength, yet he had fought this Red Dog Demon to a standstill.

He had also exposed two Martial Arts.

There were martial artists who cultivated more than two Martial Arts, but not many. Those from impoverished backgrounds lacked resources and could at most cultivate one Martial Art. Cultivating two would undoubtedly waste time and resources, hindering their growth.

The descendants of those great figures in the inner city could afford to cultivate two Martial Arts, but they possessed High-grade Martial Arts. A single High-grade Martial Art could crush several mid-grade Skin Polishing Martial Arts, so there was no need to cultivate two Skin Polishing Martial Arts.

This was why martial artists who cultivated two Skin Polishing Martial Arts were so rare—not even one in ten.

Yet now, they had seen one.

"A mud-legged genius cultivating more than two Martial Arts?"

A great figure held a cup of wine and offered his assessment with a smile.

He had seen this sort of mud-leg a few times before. They might have some strength in the Skin Grinding Realm, but afterward, they could no longer keep up and would ultimately fade into the crowd.

Thus, he did not consider such mud-legs geniuses at all. They were merely fools indulging in wishful thinking.

Li Changsheng's display of two Skin Polishing Martial Arts did not cause much of a stir. He dragged out the battle, taking a long time to kill the Red Dog Demon while pretending to be greatly exhausted.

This way, he would not be considered a Monster Prodigy and would not draw the Fighting Arena's attention.

After killing the Red Dog Demon, Li Changsheng's Demon Slaying Dao Fruit gained another 5% experience.

Afterward, he came to the Demon Fighting Arena every day, and almost every time, he was able to get a match.

He killed one demon a day, while the demons arranged by the Demon Fighting Arena grew increasingly powerful. After all, the Demon Fighting Arena did not capture demons for nothing; losing one was a loss to them.

Yet each time, Li Changsheng revealed just a little more strength, killing the demon by the skin of his teeth.

Gradually, Li Changsheng had killed twelve demons, gaining 60% experience. His lv1 Demon Slaying Dao Fruit had now reached 90% experience. Killing two more demons would allow the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit to rise by one level.

Moreover, over the past dozen or so days, his Wind Shadow Leg had broken through to the Great Accomplishment Realm, and the iron skin on both his legs had reached the peak of the Minor Accomplishment Realm, greatly raising his strength.

Demon Fighting Arena.

Li Changsheng came again.

This time, the person in charge had changed. A more powerful and higher-ranking manager of the Demon Fighting Arena came before Li Changsheng.

"Steel Fist, hello. I am Jiang Yun, one of the Demon Fighting Arena's managers. You may enter this match, but you must lose," Jiang Yun said.

"You want me to lose? Wouldn't that be sending me to my death?" Li Changsheng frowned.

Jiang Yun hurriedly said, "That will not be necessary. You only need to exchange a few moves, pretend you are no match for it, and then deliberately concede. We will open the iron gate, and you can take the chance to come out. You are very fast, so you can definitely escape easily. There will be no danger to your life."

Li Changsheng was somewhat angered. He had come here to kill demons, yet the Fighting Arena would not let him kill them.

He also knew that the Fighting Arena had a difficult time capturing demons. If it let him keep killing them, its Level 1 Minor Demons would undoubtedly become fewer and fewer.

So, the Fighting Arena would not allow him to keep killing demons!

But if he was not allowed to kill demons, what was the point of taking part in the matches?

"Sorry, I am giving up this match. I joined these matches to temper myself. Deliberately conceding is not my style!"

Li Changsheng said.

Seeing Li Changsheng give up the match, Jiang Yun smiled. In any case, Li Changsheng had voluntarily withdrawn, so Jiang Yun's task was complete.

"Steel Fist, giving up the match was your own decision. We did not force you," Jiang Yun said.

Li Changsheng could not be bothered to waste words and left the Fighting Arena directly.

He would not make trouble without reason either. If he truly enraged the Fighting Arena, a Skin Grinding Realm martial artist like him would be nothing more than an ant.

After leaving the Fighting Arena, Li Changsheng pondered how he could kill two more demons.

Perhaps I should look for Cunning Wolves again? If I kill two more Cunning Wolves, I'll have enough experience to level up the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit!

Afterward, he wandered all over Baiye City's outer city.

There might be quite a few hidden demons in Baiye City's outer city, but he could only receive warnings for Level 1 Minor Demons. Level 2 Minor Demons were beyond the warning range, and Level 1 Minor Demons were quite scarce to begin with, making them hard to encounter.

The outer city was vast, filled with streets and alleys. Li Changsheng roamed everywhere, and after more than an hour, he finally sensed a warning from the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit.

"A Level 1 Minor Demon!"

Li Changsheng quickly found that Level 1 Minor Demon. It was a man dressed as a servant, looking honest and meek. No one would have imagined that he was a Cunning Wolf.

Li Changsheng followed him until dusk. Once the man entered an alley, Li Changsheng swiftly followed.

He used Wind Shadow Leg, turning into an afterimage as he rushed forward, then killed him with a single punch from Azure Steel Fist.

But at that moment, a Level 2 Cunning Wolf rushed out from a nearby house. Its right hand transformed into a wolf claw and viciously raked toward Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng tried to evade, but his reaction was still a fraction too slow. The claw tore through the iron skin on his body and wounded his flesh.

"Run!"

Li Changsheng knew that this Level 2 Cunning Wolf was no newly advanced Bone Refining Realm opponent. It was absolutely comparable to a relatively powerful Bone Refining Realm martial artist, and he was not its match yet.

Li Changsheng was fast, but the other party was faster.

A wolf-claw afterimage tore through the air toward him. Li Changsheng sensed the danger and swung back with a Perfection Realm Azure Steel Fist, meeting it head-on.

Boom!

Li Changsheng's body was sent flying, though he had barely blocked the wolf claw. However, the iron skin on his right hand had been ripped open, and even his bones had cracked somewhat. His injuries were truly serious.

After that blow, he flew backward onto the street.

Knowing it had been exposed, the Cunning Wolf still wanted to kill Li Changsheng. But suddenly, a large hand seemed to appear out of nowhere, grabbing the Cunning Wolf's arm and snapping it outright. Then, with a light palm strike, it was severely injured.

The one who acted was a young man in white.

"Young master, could you let me kill it myself?"

Li Changsheng hurriedly called out.

The young man stopped and looked at Li Changsheng, somewhat puzzled.

Li Changsheng hurriedly said, "This demon nearly killed me. Naturally, I want to kill it with my own hands!"

"Then do it."

The young man stood with his hands behind his back.

Li Changsheng immediately acted, killing the demon with a punch of Azure Steel Fist.

After killing the demon, Li Changsheng thanked him. "Many thanks, young master, for saving my life."

"It was nothing. When we martial artists encounter demons, naturally we cannot rest until they are slain. Leave quickly. This Cunning Wolf may have companions. If you remain here, it will be easy for the Cunning Wolves to target you," the young man said.

"Young master, may I ask your name?"

Li Changsheng asked.

"Qin Wuyang of the Qin Family!" The young man left after saying that.

"The Qin Family? Is there such a family in the outer city?"

Li Changsheng did not dwell on it. He needed to return home quickly.

His Demon Slaying Dao Fruit could now level up. He had just suppressed its advancement, but he was about to be unable to suppress it any longer. Once he returned, he planned to immediately let the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit level up, then use the time during its advancement to cultivate his Martial Arts.
