Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 67: A Casual Strike — Slaying Exotic Beasts, Bewildered Su Die, and Lin Ping’an’s Path
"Every martial artist devotes their life to protecting this place, taking pride in dying in battle to guard the lights of thousands of homes."
As she spoke, her tone was filled with pride and longing.
Beside her, Lin Ping’an said nothing, just waited quietly.
Full of enthusiasm and great ideals, but not his path.
A few minutes later, under Zheng Die’s guidance, the two arrived at the logistics department in Hope City.
Then, Lin Ping’an spent 10 merit points to casually purchase a D-level alloy blade as a temporary weapon.
Immediately after, they left the city and headed straight for the nearby Exotic Beast Forest.
According to Zheng Die, within a 200-mile radius of Hope City, all middle-tier or higher exotic beasts are either driven away or slain.
Only the low-tier ones are left, specifically for Lower Third Grade martial artists to hunt in their spare time.
Along the way, Lin Ping’an listened silently, memorizing the information in his mind.
Whether useful or not, these bits of common knowledge he never encountered before are better known than not.
After more than ten minutes.
The two stood outside the forest, faintly hearing the roars of beasts inside.
Just at this moment, an exotic beast more than two meters tall, resembling a giant porcupine, came charging out.
Seeing this scene, Su Die drew the long blade from her back and held it in her hand.
"Step aside, this spiny porcupine is at First Grade Perfection Realm, it’s not within your trial range..."
However.
A soft shout came from beside her.
"Life Severing Slash!"
The next instant, a chilling sense of danger flashed from behind.
But before Su Die could react again, a Demon Thought Blade Shadow swept past not far from her.
A few moments later, the blade mark unsurprisingly hit the spiny porcupine, slicing it effortlessly as if through butter, splitting it in two.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
Jets of blood sprayed wildly, the air filled with an overwhelming stench of blood.
At this moment, Su Die looked back at the D-level alloy blade in Lin Ping’an’s hand, still exuding a purple, wicked aura, then glanced at the unfortunate spiny porcupine in the distance.
She was completely stunned!
"You... you... you... this... this... this..."
At this time, Lin Ping’an’s calm voice sounded at the right moment.
"I told you long ago, this is just a waste of time!"
"Your path is not my path, don’t impose your own ideas and beliefs on others."
"Isn’t the saying, ’a drawing of a tiger that doesn’t turn out like a tiger ends up resembling a dog,’ clear enough?"
At this point, Su Die was dumbfounded, utterly bewildered.
She constantly felt that something might be wrong with this entrance trial.
Normally, shouldn’t she, as a senior in her third year, use the trial to educate this new junior?
Why... why was it over before it even started?
And why was that attack so outrageous? Even if she were to be hit by it, she would undoubtedly be severely damaged.
First Grade Early Stage?
This looked like First Grade Early Stage?
Emmm...
Heavens, this is a Sixth Grade veteran among the freshmen!
At this moment, silence was the response to Su Die’s bewilderment.
Dozens of seconds passed silently.
"First Grade Perfection Realm, the entrance trial is over, right?"
"Uh... yes!"
"Then let’s go! You should take me to the Great Xia Academy now!"
"Sure!"
Now, it was Su Die who became sparing with words.
Truthfully, she wasn’t sure what to say.
She thought this First Grade Early Stage junior would be easy to handle, but unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be a veteran hiding his strength.
Especially after that astonishing and uncanny slash, which could possibly severely injure her, a Third Grade Martial Artist.
Reflecting on the previous series of events, an inexplicable sense of shame filled Su Die’s mind.
Ahhhhh! There’s a bad person among the juniors!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Ping’an, while walking, suddenly stopped.
By chance, he noticed a silent notification on the Civilization Master System panel.
[Killed a First Grade Perfection Realm Exotic Beast, gained 26 Civilization Points.]
Following this hint upward, scrolling back, he saw several messages he hadn’t noticed before.
[Killed a Third Grade Early Stage Evil Martial Artist, gained 113 Civilization Points.]
[Killed a Second Grade Peak Evil Martial Artist, gained 86 Civilization Points.]
[Killed a Third Grade Peak Evil Martial Artist, gained 236 Civilization Points.]
[...]
Until the very first message.
[Killed a Fourth Grade Early Stage Evil Martial Artist, gained 432 Civilization Points.]
This notification referred to Zhou Shang who once ambushed Lin Ping’an.
The rest referred to Zhou Yang and the other five Evil Martial Artists killed in the mansion.
Since the system was activated, over these days, he only killed seven Evil Martial Artists and one Exotic Beast.
A total of eight notifications, each matchable to an action.
This indicated that Civilization Points could be acquired not only from feedback when spreading creation techniques.
But also from killing internal human traitors, and external threatening exotic beasts, among other actions.
Upon careful thought, this was reasonable.
Otherwise, if he exhausted all Civilization Points and the creations weren’t outstanding, with no one cultivating them.
Wouldn’t the system become useless?
Having other means to earn Civilization Points was, therefore, natural.
However, this realization prompted a change in Lin Ping’an’s thoughts.
Initially, as there were no benefits, and it hindered further enhancement of his strength, he didn’t want to waste time slaughtering exotic beasts here.
After all, creating a powerful cultivation technique and spreading it would far surpass personally killing thousands of exotic beasts.
But not anymore!
Killing exotic beasts rewarded him with Civilization Points!
With the solid strength of a Sixth Grade cutting through these low-tier garbage exotic beasts that weren’t even Middle Grade, how was this any different from picking up something for free?
There was absolutely no difference!
Not a single risk!
Thinking this over, Lin Ping’an calmly spoke again.
"Senior Sister Su, suddenly I feel there is some truth in what you said."
"???
"Martial Artists are forged through combat, even a Civilization Master is a martial artist. To create a cultivation technique most suitable for the Human Race, one must seek inspiration through slaughter."
"???
"So... it wouldn’t be too late to go to the Great Xia Academy after gathering enough inspiration."
"???
Listening to this, Su Die was even more bewildered, her head filled with question marks.
She couldn’t understand why the thoughts of this beside junior had changed so suddenly.
But before she could figure it out, she saw Lin Ping’an carrying his blade and heading towards the forest on his own.
"Wait... hold on a second... there are not just First Grade Exotic Beasts in the forest, but also Second Grade and Third Grade Exotic Beasts..."
She quickly said and hurriedly chased after him.
Although the impressive slash just now was very powerful, in Su Die’s view, he could only manage it once or twice.
Being merely at First Grade Early Stage, even with concealed strength, how much Qi Blood Value could he have? His stamina wouldn’t hold out.
Once his Qi blood was depleted, being surrounded and bitten to death by exotic beasts would be the assured outcome.
However, Lin Ping’an acted as if he hadn’t heard, boldly charging in without a hint of hiding.
This scene was undoubtedly a death wish in Su Die’s eyes, but in reality, it was a max level character slaughtering a newbie village.
"Watch out, that’s a Burrowing Demon Rat, a communal exotic beast, there must be other Demon Rats hiding nearby..."
Before the words were finished.
Lin Ping’an casually struck it down, then followed with another slash, sending a few more leaping ones along the same path.
At the same time.
The Civilization Master System’s panel silently and continuously updated with several notifications.
[Killed a First Grade Early Stage Exotic Beast Burrowing Demon Rat, gained 5 Civilization Points.]
