"Tell me about it?" Ling Yi asked.
"I can give you a top-grade Heaven Pin arts technique."
Ling Yi remained silent, his expression Changes, quietly waiting for Tang Rou to continue.
"If you can successfully cultivate and reach the Ninth Pin Martial God in the future, help me destroy the Jin Family of Black Tortoise City, provided you ensure your own safety."
Ling Yi did not respond immediately, maintaining his calm expression as a multitude of thoughts raced through his mind.
After a full minute, he slowly said, "You're worried that you might die in Extraterritorial Space. No, it's not 'might,' you know that you will definitely die in Extraterritorial Space."
"Yes, the final trial; survival is unlikely."
"Is the mission difficult to complete, or is someone obstructing it?"
" The Bai Clan!"
Ling Yi nodded. "Tell me about your so-called trial."
"I am a third-generation member of a collateral branch of the Tang Family, the most powerful family in Vermilion Bird City. The Tang Family family is extremely influential and has many members. It is incredibly difficult to enter the core of the Tang Family and receive special training from the family."
"Either be Supreme prodigy, or pass the Tang Family's Vermilion Bird Trial."
" The Vermilion Bird Trial is divided into two parts. One part Outer Clan Trial, in which you must remain anonymous and not rely on any assistance from your family. You will be randomly sent to a city and live for three years."
"Three years later, you will participate in the Martial Practitioner Trial, enter the Extraterritorial Space, survive for a year in the Extraterritorial Space, and obtain 10,000 merit points. This will be the final part of the Outer Clan Trial."
"After that, it's time to return to the clan and participate in the Inner Clan Trial. However, this second part is more of an opportunity than a trial."
"So, you only need to complete the Outer Clan Trial to pass the trials?" Ling Yi asked.
Tang Rou nodded.
"So, the Bai Clan wants to prevent you from succeeding in the trial?"
" The Bai Clan wants to control me, and use my power to curry favor with the Tang Family."
Ling Yi was puzzled. Had the Bai Clan gone mad? Weren't they afraid that Tang Rou would turn around and wipe out the Bai Clan after passing the trial?
Seemingly sensing Ling Yi's thoughts, Tang Rou explained, "There are many ways to control people. The Bai Clan has a kind of Demon Gu, once used, can empty a person's mind, making it difficult to escape except through death."
"You should be able to contact the Tang Family, right? Just tell Tang Family about this!"
Tang Rou shook her head. "During the trial, the Tang Family won't interfere unless I die at someone else's hands, then they will take action to avenge me."
Are you crazy? What's the point of seeking revenge after someone dies?
"Is your Tang Family really this Coldblood?"
" The Tang Family has a history of ten thousand years, with only one direct line and twelve collateral lines. The second generation of these collateral lines number in the tens of thousands, and the third generation in the hundreds of thousands. I am merely one of the hundreds of thousands of people in the third generation of the Tang Family's collateral line. Once I die, I die."
"Hiss!" Ling Yi gasped. "This Tang Family is pretty powerful!"
A legacy spanning ten thousand years, tens of thousands in the second generation, hundreds of thousands in the third generation?
Tang Rou continued, "I don't care about you while you're alive because I don't want to waste resources. Unless you have potential, seeking revenge after death is just to maintain the Tang Family's reputation."
"Does passing this Vermilion Bird Trial mean it's worth cultivating?" Ling Yi asked.
However, the Vermilion Bird Trial —what does this trial have to do with the Vermilion Bird? Ling Yi couldn't help but think of the second part of the trial that Tang Rou had mentioned.
However, this likely involves the core secrets of the Tang Family, so Tang Rou didn't mention it.
"So the Bai Clan threatened you, saying that if you use the Demon Gu, they will wish you success in the trial; if you don't, they will obstruct you. But they probably wouldn't dare to kill you, right?"
"If I fail the trial and suffer a fate worse than death, I might as well die in the Extraterritorial Space and drag the Bai Clan down with me."
Is this really necessary? This is a bit Tai Chi.
Ling Yi had only been in this world for a short time. Although he had received the original owner's memories, he was still influenced by the nine years of his previous life, making it difficult for him to understand such extreme life-and-death actions.
"Why choose me? I'm just a nobody, and I've offended the Bai Clan. I probably won't live past a year."
"If I die, the Bai Clan will surely die, so you don't need to worry about the Bai Clan."
Ling Yi sensed a death wish in Tang Rou's words.
"Furthermore, my trial a year in advance guarantees you won't die within that year."
What if I keep being a useless piece of trash?
"I had no choice," Tang Rou said with a bitter smile. "Because of the Bai Clan, I'm isolated in Heaven-Dominating City."
"If you're unlikely to achieve great things, then the deal is pointless."
Tang Rou was clearly grasping at straws in her desperation.
"I'm gambling, and I have no other choice but to gamble. Like I said, I have no other option."
"Perhaps you've made the right bet?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"Then I can only say that I'm very Luck."
"Forget about the Heaven Pin cultivation technique." Ling Yi shook his head. "As for your enemies, you should take revenge yourself."
"Besides, how easy is it to cultivate Heaven Pin cultivation technique? Let's talk about it after we've lived for another year!"
The higher the level of the cultivation technique, the more extraordinary the requirements for aptitude.
Ling Yi Ling Yi has been sending out the Nine Swords of Dugu for three days now, and he refuses to believe that no one is practicing it.
But so far, the system hasn't responded at all.
Ling Yi guessed that either the system didn't approve of this teaching method, or the Nine Swords of Dugu was too difficult to Entry.
Ling Yi leans towards the latter.
Or rather, Ling Yi could only hope it was the latter, otherwise, he would be in a dead end!
Ling Yi was only able to barely Entry thanks to the systematic instruction.
Without the help of a system, he estimated that he would barely be able to get Entry.
The Nine Swords of Dugu have been modified by the system to suit local tastes; if one can cultivate them to perfection, they will be comparable to a sword immortal.
Entry, you'll be invincible within your realm.
Take Ling Yi for example, with his Entry Nine Swords of Dugu, he's First Pin Martial Practitioner, and he can take on as many as he wants.
Even Second Pin Martial Practitioner can handle the situation.
Even Third Pin Martial Practitioner would die if struck by the sword light of the Nine Swords of Dugu.
The prerequisite is that you have to be able to poke it.
"You..."
Ling Yi shook his head again, stopping Tang Rou from speaking, and instead smiled, "There's still a year left, maybe a MU Online will happen!"
" MU Online?" Tang Rou naturally didn't believe in MU Online.
What are you planning to do next?
"Find a place, hide, and wait for MU Online!"
" MU Online don't just come by waiting," Tang Rou said with a wry smile, shaking her head.
"Of course we can wait for it!"
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, the system notification sounded.
[Ding, Xiao Qingtian Entry the Nine Swords of Dugu, Teaching Points +10, Nine Swords of Dugu proficiency +0.1]
See? MU Online has happened!
[Ding, Ye Tian Entry the Nine Swords of Dugu, Teaching Points +10, Nine Swords of Dugu proficiency +0.2]
[Ding, Wang Chen Entry the Nine Swords of Dugu, Teaching Points +10, Nine Swords of Dugu proficiency +0.1]
[Ding, Bai Jiaxiong Entry the Nine Swords of Dugu, Teaching Points +10, Nine Swords of Dugu proficiency +0.1]
[bite...]
[Ding, Xiao Qingtian has mastered the Nine Swords of Dugu, gaining +1 Teaching Points and +0.1 proficiency.]
[Ding, Ye Tian has mastered the Nine Swords of Dugu, gaining +1 Teaching Points and +0.2 proficiency.]
[bite...]
The system either remains silent, or once it starts moving, it's completely out of control.
The ringing was so loud that Ling Yi's head almost exploded on the spot.
"System, can you fucking mute this?" Ling Yi roared inwardly.
The system notification stopped abruptly.
With a thought, Ling Yi opened the system interface.
[ Infinite Passive Teaching Rebate System Version 1.0]
[Host: Ling Yi ]
[Cultivation Level: First Pin, First Level]
[ Qi and Blood: 150]
[ Teaching Points: 22390]
[Shop][Click to expand]
[Techniques: Mortal Pin Brute Bull Force ( Entry ), Nine Swords of Dugu ( Entry 342.7/100)]
[ System Space: Omitted...]
Sure enough, posting the Nine Swords of Dugu tutorial video online was the right move.
At the same time, Ling Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
If the system remains silent, Ling Yi might not be able to handle it.
In just a short time, more than 20,000 Teaching Points were added, and these Teaching Points are the guarantee for Ling Yi stronger.
I've been transported to a strange world, a dangerous fantasy world with High Martial Arts, comparable to the world of immortals and heroes.
Ling Yi was constantly on edge.
Even if the cheat code is activated, this is still the case.
After all, the prerequisites were a bit tricky, and the system didn't explain them. In addition, Ling Yi was expelled from school and lost his teaching qualification, plus the life-or-death threat from that bastard Bai Clan Mountain.
That was really stressful.
If Ling Yi hadn't discovered the Martial Practitioner Home website and hadn't uploaded the Nine Swords of Dugu instructional videos, if Ling Yi had gotten stuck on the idea that only teachers could teach...
Ling Yi is surely in Extremis.
Now!
"Hehe!" Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Tang Rou was puzzled by Ling Yi's laughter.
"It's nothing. How much do you know about this Extraterritorial Space?" Ling Yi asked.
"This Extraterritorial Space is roughly half the size of our Ancestral Star," Tang Rou explained with a nod.
Half of the Ancestral Star, that's five thousand times the size of the previous Blue Star.
"So big? "Ling Yi was somewhat taken aback.
"Among them are a large number of Mortal Pin raw stone veins. On the Ancestral Star, about 20% of the raw stones come from this Extraterritorial Space."
"Where does the main danger come from for us?" Ling Yi asked.
"There are too many aspects. The Devil Clan in the Extraterritorial Space, who are the natives, are the strongest, comparable to Fourth Pin Martial Practitioner or Third Pin Nian Master."
" Devil Clan?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, almost all the native inhabitants of the Extraterritorial Space are Devil Clan. Some have speculated that this Extraterritorial Space might be part of another world, but I don't know the specifics."
"Perhaps only the officials and core members of those powerful families know the true secrets of Extraterritorial Space."
Fourth Pin Martial Practitioner, that's Martial Marshal Realm expert?
The Limit for Martial Practitioner is 1000 Qi and Blood, Limit Martial Master it's 10,000 Qi and Blood, Limit Martial General it's 100,000 Qi and Blood, and Limit Martial Marshal it's one million Qi and Blood.
Ling Yi checked his Qi and Blood points: 150.
Doesn't that mean someone with Fourth Pin strength could be wiped out with a single breath?
"However, Devil Clan generally live in the core area and rarely appear on the outskirts. As long as we don't enter the core area, we won't encounter Devil Clan."
While listening to Tang Rou's story, Ling Yi checked the items in the System Shop interface.
The First Pin Mirror-Breaking Pill 10 Teaching Points and is only effective for Martial Apprentice. Each dose can raise one's cultivation level by one small realm until breaking through to the Second Pin. It has no side effects.
It's cheap. If Ling Yi wanted, he could train a batch of rank-one Martial Practitioner at any time.
However, there's no need for that. Unless Ling Yi has the means to control people, he would never allow others to use his abilities casually.
Second Pin Mirror-Breaking Pill costs 100 Teaching Points and can be used to break through to the Third Pin; Third Pin Mirror-Breaking Pill costs 1000 Teaching Points and can be used to break through to the Fourth Pin.
If Ling Yi wants to reach the Fourth Pin of Martial Practitioner, he needs nine Second Pin Mirror-Breaking Pill, 900 Teaching Points, ten third-rank Third Pin Mirror-Breaking Pill, and 10,000 Teaching Points.
In other words, Ling Yi only needs 10,900 Teaching Points to reach the Fourth Pin Martial Practitioner.
If Ling Yi wanted, he could take drugs and reach the Fourth Pin right now.
For Ling Yi, the Fourth Pin was just the beginning.
"Besides the Devil Clan, there's the Demon Clan. The Devil Clan doesn't need primordial stones for cultivation, so they won't compete for primordial stone veins. Therefore, the only ones competing for primordial stone veins are the Human Clan and the Demon Clan."
