It Was Time to Give the Demonic Path Seniors a Little Shock

Su Yuan had no idea what Uncle Wang had gone through internally, nor had he comprehended any divine technique from the cultivation mantra.

He had merely been inspired in the moment and gone with the flow, practicing the Eighteen Divine Fork Styles he had just learned.

From beginner, to minor accomplishment, to major accomplishment, and finally perfection—it had taken less than a quarter of an hour.

Of course, it was not because Su Yuan had suddenly seen the light. It was because... the damn system's reward had randomly landed on the Eighteen Divine Fork Styles and upgraded this martial art!

When Su Yuan emerged from that wondrous sensation of his comprehension being super-doubled and carrying him in one burst all the way to mastery of a martial art, he could not help wanting to curse his mother.

What the hell use is learning fork techniques? This crap isn't even on the college entrance exam!

But since it had already happened, there was no use complaining no matter how much Su Yuan grumbled.

It was a reward the system had given him for free, so however he used it, he would not be losing out.

Besides, after cultivating the Eighteen Divine Fork Styles to perfection, Su Yuan discovered that this method was not without its merits.

And with this skill under his belt, once he got old and retired, he could at least become a security captain.

Comforting himself thus, Su Yuan grew even more eager for the novice mission's reward.

A sudden mission could randomly raise a skill to max level. What sort of reward would the novice mission give him?

Just then, another "ding-dong" sounded by Su Yuan's ear.

[You have wrung every last bit of skill from the demonic path senior and cultivated it to perfection, yet that old fellow still has not discovered the abyss-like darkness beneath your pure and kind exterior!]

Same old flavor! This Dog System was slandering good people again!

Where is this abyss-like darkness in me? I've always been just as pure and kind on the inside as I am on the outside, all right!

[This is the demonic path: a bloody road filled with darkness and betrayal.]

[Demon Lord Mission triggered]

[Mission: Establish Dominance]

[Now is the time to give the demonic path senior a little shock! Gradually erode his status, seize his authority, fork the Righteous Path Prodigies off their horses before he does, and establish yourself as the new master of this demonic domain!]

[Task Progress: Reputation (0/1000)]

[Mission Reward: Demonic Art Grade Increase (Choose One)]

The instant Su Yuan saw the newly issued mission, he was no longer sleepy.

Although the system's wording was incredibly cringe, once he stripped away appearances to see the essence, the method of completing this mission was quite simple.

As long as he did his job as a security guard properly and stopped the delivery riders from entering, these reputation points should increase.

And the mission reward was even more heavyweight—directly increasing the grade of a demonic art. It was not some goddamned random draw either, but a choice of his own!

Though he did not know what the system's definition of a demonic art was, he was definitely going to complete this mission.

Originally, after learning the Eighteen Divine Fork Styles, Su Yuan had been wondering how he should bring up quitting this security job to Uncle Wang.

But with this long-term mission now, he could work as a security guard with a clear conscience.

"Uncle Wang, I want to try intercepting some delivery riders. Do you think I'm strong enough now?"

Su Yuan asked eagerly.

By then, Uncle Wang the security guard had recovered from his initial shock. He laughed heartily and said, "Other than actual combat, I have nothing left to teach you now."

"But it's already so late. You still want to patrol with me?"

It was nearly four in the morning. Su Yuan had not slept all night, but he did not think much of it. "It's just staying up for one night. It's nothing, right?"

Experts recommended that Qi Cultivators sleep four hours a day, but Su Yuan did not accept that recommendation.

With a Qi Cultivator's physique, staying up all night was like an ordinary person skipping their afternoon nap. It was not a big deal at all.

Uncle Wang did not insist further. "Then I'll count it as a six-hour night shift for you. Sixty an hour. Once accounting comes in, I'll take you to collect your pay."

"Thanks, Uncle Wang."

Su Yuan felt secretly delighted. Learning martial arts and earning wages at the same time made him feel rather embarrassed.

Uncle Wang added, "In another hour, it'll be the peak time for residents ordering breakfast. Dozens, maybe hundreds, of delivery riders will barge into the residential complex to make deliveries. That will be the best time for you to make a name for yourself!"

Su Yuan was slightly startled.

Uncle Wang patted him on the shoulder. "Though you've already learned the security guard's most important cultivation method, you can't be too slick when you're just starting out. It's fine if you stop the delivery riders until after they finish their deliveries."

"Only then will they fear you."

Su Yuan nodded. This happened to align perfectly with his need to gain reputation.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and the horizon began to pale with the light of dawn.

A delivery rider stood atop his flying sword, gazing at the warmly lit, brightly colored community in the distance as though he were looking upon a demon king's castle. Just the sight of it made cold sweat bead across his forehead.

"That's the community guarded by the Security Guard King. The day before yesterday, even the Azure Lotus Sword Emperor, one of the Four Emperors of the delivery world, fell into his hands! Can I... really make it out unscathed?"

The delivery rider muttered under his breath.

But when he thought of the customer's tempting tip, a glint of resolve flashed through his eyes once more!

"So what if I get caught? As long as I deliver the order before that happens, it'll be worth it! I'm going all in!"

With that thought, spiritual power surged through his body. The flying sword beneath his feet erupted with near-limitless speed, transforming into a streak of light as it shot straight toward the customer's residence!

Yet the moment he flew into the community, a figure blocked his path!

It was a youth dressed in a security guard uniform, standing atop a flying fork.

The youth stood loosely on the flying fork, wearing a harmless smile. He did not seem the least bit aggressive!

That youth was none other than Su Yuan.

"The Security Guard King isn't this young. A new security guard?!"

The delivery rider was startled at first, but after taking a closer look, he was delighted.

The person before him was merely an ordinary high school student working a part-time job, with a cultivation base only in the middle stage of Qi Cultivation.

With his own Qi Cultivation Level 6 cultivation base, bypassing him to deliver the order would be child's play.

With a thought, he was about to urge his flying sword onward and circle around Su Yuan.

But the instant he made his move, advancing less than an inch, a chill surged into his heart like a rising tide.

The delivery rider halted his charge again, staring uncertainly at Su Yuan.

"This kid is clearly full of openings, so why do I feel like the moment I move, I'll be viciously forked? Is it an illusion?"

"Outsiders are forbidden from entering this community. Please place the delivery in the delivery locker."

Su Yuan spoke with a smile.

The delivery rider hesitated.

Should he trust his instincts, or take a reckless gamble?

Time slowly passed. After ten seconds of deadlock, the delivery rider gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and pushed his flying sword to the absolute limit as he charged toward the customer's location!

But in the very next instant, he suddenly felt an immense force strike his chest. Looking down, he saw that although he should have shot forward at over three hundred kilometers per hour, an Anti-riot Fork had jabbed into his chest, leaving him unable to move.

Not long after flying away, the flying sword also returned with its tail between its legs.

What shocked the delivery rider even more was that aside from stopping him, Su Yuan's fork had caused him no discomfort whatsoever.

To lift heavy as though it were light—this was absolutely the level of a grandmaster of the fork path.

"I concede. Should I ever come to Feiyun Community to deliver food again, I will never dare cross the thunder pool by even half a step!"

With a solemn expression, the delivery rider cupped his hands toward Su Yuan, then asked again:

"May I ask your esteemed name?"

"Security guard, Su Yuan."
