Mystic Realm Martial Arts

Si Yiwu's brow twitched. Damn it, what kind of uncle would be happy hearing something like that?

He shook his head, no longer dwelling on the topic.

"You already know the plan from earlier. Before we depart, you'll need to prepare more."

"The resources of the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division are now open to you to the maximum extent."

"Whether it's cultivation techniques, martial arts, elixirs, or divine weapons, anything you need, just tell me."

"I'll do my best to meet your requests!"

Li Xuanxiao was overjoyed upon hearing this. It was finally time for his favorite part: striking while the iron was hot.

He cleared his throat. "Uh... General, I heard that you and Deputy General Yang are the only two people who cultivate Mystic Realm techniques?"

"I was wondering if you have any Mystic Realm martial arts in your possession, besides the techniques?"

Si Yiwu took a deep breath. This kid really dared to ask!

He had just stepped into the Mystic Realm and already wanted Mystic Realm martial arts?

"Cultivating Mystic Realm martial arts is not something that can be achieved in a day. Even if I gave it to you now, it wouldn't be of much use."

"It would be better to hone the Profound Realm martial arts you're currently using. With the boost from your Mystic Realm True Essence, they can unleash power far greater than before!"

Li Xuanxiao immediately said, "No, no, I just want to take a casual look. I'm not asking to learn it. If you'd let me flip through it, just to broaden my horizons, I'll return it to you."

Si Yiwu glanced at Li Xuanxiao suspiciously. After a moment's hesitation, he still produced a booklet.

Despite Li Xuanxiao's best efforts to control himself, the slight tremor in his eyes betrayed his inner joy.

"This Mystic Realm martial art is called the 'Mirage Blade.' It was a reward the headquarters gave me when I was promoted to General of Pei Province."

"Over the years, it's this martial art that has allowed me to suppress three Demon Emperors by myself."

He glanced at Li Xuanxiao and slowly handed it over.

Li Xuanxiao received it as if it were a priceless treasure, then immediately employed his quantum speed-reading technique!

Si Yiwu's brow furrowed unconsciously. This kid, even if he was just looking casually, shouldn't be flipping through it so haphazardly.

What could he possibly learn like that?

[Martial Art Recorded - 'Mirage Blade'!]

When the system notification appeared, Li Xuanxiao was ecstatic.

He kept his expression neutral, slowing down his pace of flipping through the pages.

He pretended that the content was incredibly profound and difficult for him to comprehend.

"As expected of Mystic Realm martial arts, they are indeed complex and intricate. Thank you, General, for broadening my horizons!"

Li Xuanxiao feigned a moment of contemplation before returning the 'Mirage Blade' to Si Yiwu.

Si Yiwu snorted lightly. "No need to rush. After this crisis in Pei Province is resolved, I'll help you put in a request to the headquarters."

"At that time, perhaps you'll be rewarded with a Mystic Realm cultivation technique or martial art."

Li Xuanxiao's eyes widened involuntarily. Such a double blessing?

He immediately bowed respectfully. "Thank you, General!"

Leaving the General's Residence, Li Xuanxiao headed straight for the Mission Hall. He hadn't collected his contribution points yet!

The Mission Hall, usually bustling with activity, was now much quieter.

Most of the martial artists here had been dispatched to various cities to help defend them.

Li Xuanxiao approached the mission counter and found a staff member to collect his contribution points.

"Please present your record jade token."

Li Xuanxiao immediately handed over the jade token from his waist.

The staff member took it carelessly, then his gaze fell upon the numbers inscribed on it.

"Holy crap!"

The staff member's eyes widened like saucers, stunned by the numbers.

A total of 108 Profound Realm Demon Kings, 875 Apex Realm Great Demons...

He slowly looked up at Li Xuanxiao, his surprise evident.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll process this for you right away."

His tone and address immediately became respectful, even his voice seemed to change.

A moment later, the staff member finished tallying the information and began calculating the contribution points.

"That's a total of 5660 contribution points!"

After stating the figure, the staff member felt his throat grow dry.

Since joining the Mission Hall of the Demon Slayer Division, he had never seen a martial artist redeem so many contribution points at once.

5660 points!

Normally, when martial artists go out to slay demons, they might face at most a few dozen Profound Realm Demon Kings, or nearly a hundred Apex Realm Great Demons.

It's very rare for anyone to receive over 1000 Contribution Points at once.

But this time, they'd jumped straight to over 5600!

What a terrifying number, what a terrifying person...

Li Xuanxiao didn't care what the other person was thinking. He looked at the Contribution Points on his Jade Token, watching them jump up crazily until they finally stopped at 5660.

He smiled, completely satisfied.

With 5660 Contribution Points, how many Profound Realm cultivation techniques and martial arts could he exchange for?

How many top-grade Profound Realm divine weapons could he get?

And how many different kinds of elixirs with various effects could he purchase?

This was definitely a fortune!

He turned and walked into the Armory and Elixir Workshop, exchanging them for a top-grade Profound Realm treasure blade – the Nether Severing Blade.

This was also the highest grade available at the Pei Province Armory.

After strapping it to his other side, Li Xuanxiao turned and headed straight for the Elixir Workshop.

He exchanged the points in his hand for a large quantity of elixirs with various different effects.

His Contribution Points dwindled rapidly, finally stopping at 2000.

The shopkeeper of the Elixir Workshop was overjoyed and even threw in a storage ring as a bonus.

With everything prepared, Li Xuanxiao went to visit the several Hall Masters he was familiar with, as well as the General's Residence, bidding them farewell one by one.

Then, he transformed into a beam of light and soared into the sky.

Since it was a random combat mission, there was no specific target.

Li Xuanxiao chose a direction he hadn't traveled before and quickly flew off.

The scenery on the ground rapidly receded, and cities began to appear in Li Xuanxiao's sight.

However, these cities were close to the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division, so they didn't suffer much from demon attacks.

After all, even though important figures like the General and Hall Masters were tied down and couldn't leave the Demon Slayer Division freely, It was still easy for them to lend a hand to nearby cities by casually killing a few demons.

Li Xuanxiao continued flying, searching for better targets.

Within Yan Border City, the defending martial artists and demons were already locked in battle.

The scene was terrifying, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

On the city walls, martial artists and demons alike were dying every second.

As time passed, the defending martial artists began to show signs of weakness.

Seeing that the demons were about to break through the defenses and storm the city, several defending martial artists wore expressions of despair.

They looked at the hopeful expressions of the citizens behind them and thought about what would happen to them after the city fell.

The martial artists couldn't bear it, but under such intense combat, they had reached their limit.

Their arms were numb, and their bodies seemed to have lost all sensation.

"We've truly done our best, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

But even if they couldn't win, at least... let them, these martial artists, die before you.

And at this very moment, a dazzling beam of light rapidly approached, descending with an invincible aura!

Before the various forces within the city could even see who was coming, they saw the demons falling in droves.

Whether they were Apex Realm Great Demons or Profound Realm Demon Kings, under this terrifying power, they were all like paper, unable to withstand a single blow!

The originally dense horde of demons was instantly reduced to only a handful of survivors.

"This..."

The defending martial artists exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
