Slaying Awakened Level Monsters, Tricking Them Into Joining the Great Wilderness Hall!

The Swamp Salamander, even as an Awakened Level monster, was at the end of its rope.

Lu Xuan held nothing back. His long saber dripped with blood, his body moved like a rainbow, and within the span of an inch, countless flying blades spun, attacking the monster from every blind spot.

He gave the salamander almost no time to react.

He struck down with explosive force, his might surpassing a shooting star.

Boom--!

The tip of his saber, infused with vitality and Spiritual Energy, pierced the salamander's flesh. Blood mixed with mucus splattered onto him, making Lu Xuan's blood boil.

He pierced through the salamander's upper and lower jaws.

Immediately after, flying blades controlled by Mental Power swarmed in.

Clang clang clang!

Strangely, a layer of mucus flowed from the salamander, creating a surprisingly decent defense as it lubricated the wound, making it difficult to break through.

"Interesting, but your fate is to perish here today!"

Lu Xuan retreated, his flying blades, under his control, surging towards the wound in the salamander's abdomen.

The flying blades seemed to come alive, shredding the internal organs once inside the salamander's abdominal cavity. Instantly, blood and a foul stench dyed the entire marsh into filth.

The Gold Rush Six-man Team, which had just been swallowed, was consequently expelled.

"Ah!"

Old Six's head surfaced, gasping for air, "Alive, haha, huff~ Alive..."

Just as he was celebrating, his gaze accidentally fell upon Lu Xuan, who was crouching by the cliff.

A Ghost Face mask, a long saber by his side.

"B-big brother, gurgle gurgle..."

Old Six's eyes widened in terror, his balance faltering as he thrashed in the water.

Oldest surfaced, no time to celebrate, and sighed at Old Six's state. He yanked him up and roared, "Your sister! Did you see a ghost?"

Old Two, Old Three, and the others also surfaced, greedily breathing in the fresh air.

They had almost suffocated.

"N-no, it's not!"

Old Six stammered, "Y-you, look, that, that is..."

As he spoke, He even raised his hand and pointed towards the terrifying figure by the cliff.

The few of them turned their heads, their gazes meeting Lu Xuan's Ghost Face mask.

Hiss--!

A collective gasp echoed throughout the entire cliff bottom.

"A Ghost Face Martial Artist!?"

There was no helping it. Lu Xuan's name was too well-known. A bandit Martial Artist who specialized in robbery, he was completely unchecked in the wilderness.

Whichever team encountered him was destined to be slaughtered.

If they didn't want to die, they could only hand over their resources.

"You're afraid of me?"

Lu Xuan tilted his head, his Mental Power extending outwards, and he said with a smile, "I was the one who saved you just now!"

The Ghost Face mask was extremely eerie in the dark. Whether it was fear or the cold river water, the Gold Rush Six-man Team couldn't help but huddle together.

Their bodies trembled, and they spoke with quivering voices, "Th-thank you, sir, for your rescue. We still have some resources on us as payment."

They had no intention of resisting.

Lu Xuan had single-handedly dealt with an Awakened Level salamander.

His strength was evident.

The rumors outside were indeed true; the Ghost Face Martial Artist had likely reached the peak of Ninth-order, just one step away from entering the ranks of Qi and Blood Martial Masters.

"I accept your thanks."

Lu Xuan extended his hand, and a storage ring floated into the air on its own.

The six men's eyes widened in terror. The cold of the river water hadn't even sobered them up.

Telekinesis!

This, this, this...

"However,"

Before they could recover from their shock, Lu Xuan's tone shifted, and another lightning strike sent them trembling.

Could this guy still want to kill them?

"Don't be nervous!"

Lu Xuan put away his storage ring and chuckled, "I've been in the wilderness for so long, and it's too troublesome to be alone. Are you interested in joining me and building a grand force together?"

Huh?

Join the Ghost Face Martial Artists?

The Xu Family and the Monster Potion Company were currently hunting him. Joining now would be like courting death, wouldn't it?

After all, both major powers had Martial Dao Grandmasters backing them.

"No need to rush to refuse."

Lu Xuan lowered his voice, speaking with a hint of persuasion:

"I don't need you to wear a ghost mask like me. I just need you to help me deal with some monster corpses... Besides, don't think I'm alone. Behind me stands the Federation!"

"Within ten years, the Federation will launch a decisive battle against the monsters. But the prerequisite is that the rear battlefield must be stabilized. That's why they sent me to conduct small-scale trials to form a force that integrates the martial artists of the wilderness. When the time is ripe, we'll eliminate all the monsters in the rear and push forward on all fronts..."

"In the future, when the war is over, you will have 'merit for following the dragon'!"

Such logical and well-founded words.

It made the six members of the gold prospecting team waver. Thinking about it carefully, ever since the Ghost Face Martial Artists appeared, the ones who had been causing trouble were always some unruly factions.

It was entirely possible.

"What benefits can we get?"

The leader, being quite meticulous, asked, "Can we break through to Martial Master? Can you guarantee that we won't be retaliated against by other forces?"

"Of course!"

Lu Xuan laughed heartily, "What's a Martial Master? As long as you are willing to contribute to the Federation, even a Martial Dao Grandmaster is within reach!"

With that said, An eerie silence fell upon the bottom of the cliff.

The six-person team bickered and discussed for a while before nodding:

"We are willing!"

"Very good!"

Lu Xuan stood up, took out a drop of spiritual liquid from his Bronze Gourd, divided it into six portions, and distributed it to them.

"The Federation will remember your contributions. This is your joining reward!"

Feeling the surging power of Spiritual Energy, the six were shocked and believed Lu Xuan's words even more.

This kind of thing could only come from the Federation!

"Do we have any missions?"

Amidst their excitement, they didn't forget to ask.

Lu Xuan activated his psychic power, preparing to fly out of the cliff.

Hearing this, he replied, "Not for now. For this period, you should cultivate well, hunt monsters appropriately to hone your Martial Skills, and improve your strength... Oh, right, our organization is called the Great Wilderness Hall!"

Whoosh!

With a gust of wind, Lu Xuan's figure soared into the sky and vanished.

"Holy crap!!!"

The sixth member was the first to let out a sharp cry, startling the others into giving him a kick.

"What the hell are you screaming about?!"

"Boss, he's flying! That means he's a Martial Dao Grandmaster!"

The sixth member was so shocked that his stuttering was cured.

"I didn't expect Ghost Face Martial Artists to be so powerful... It seems he didn't lie to us. He really is from the Federation. We have this opportunity, and we absolutely cannot slack off. One day, we will become Martial Masters, or even Martial Dao Grandmasters!"

Establishing a force.

Lu Xuan's idea was just a whim. He mainly wanted to be safer when traveling in the wilderness.

He really didn't want to have enemies wherever he went.

They were endless.

"Break through to Martial Master as soon as possible and uproot the Xu Family and the Monster Potion Company."

This trip, he had stumbled upon an Awakened Level Swamp Salamander.

Worth tens of millions!

However, he didn't plan on exchanging it all for cash.

"I'll keep some for myself, and give the rest to my little sister..."

Lu Xuan hesitated, "Giving it to her directly might not be suitable. I'll convert her share into cash so she can buy suitable Monster meat."

With that thought, he opened his Martial Artist account and contacted a Broker.

Lu Xuan: "Awakened Level Monster, help me find a buyer."

Broker: "Aren't you going to sell it at the Martial Artist Association? Is its origin questionable?"

Lu Xuan: "The Martial Artist Association is too troublesome. I don't just want money... A Swamp Salamander, give me a quote and find me a buyer."

The Broker was silent for a long time before saying, "An Awakened Level Swamp Salamander, this thing is quite valuable, more so than ordinary Awakened Level Monsters. The highest price is 15 million Federal Coin. Its mucus alone is worth 5 million."

"No need to find a buyer, I'll take it."

Lu Xuan: "Okay, see you tomorrow!"

He exited the chat.

Duan Ziyan let out a sigh, "I was just worrying about resources for my disciple's cultivation, and now someone is sending charcoal in the snow!"

Ever since she took Lu Ying as her disciple.

What troubled her daily was how to find meat resources for her disciple.

The Martial Artist realm is all about building a foundation of vitality.

The stronger the vitality, the higher the chance of breaking through to Martial Master.

Duan Ziyan walked downstairs and looked at Lu Ying, who was cultivating, nodding with satisfaction:

"Little Ying, next week Jiangnan Martial University will be holding a freshman exchange event with other Martial Universities. Your master has prepared a great gift for you. Break through to Tier 3 Martial Artist as soon as possible."
