Dashing Student-Chapter 1081: Shameless Beyond Belief

The Demon Ancestor, harboring some kind of thought, bestowed a Secret Technique upon Chen Nan.

It’s known that Secret Techniques are extraordinarily precious, and even those sects and families that possess them guard them closely, fearing others might learn them.

Secret Techniques are often Magic with special powers, and sometimes they are techniques whose power greatly increases with Cultivation, transcending ordinary Rank divisions.

The "Taotie Technique" is one such Secret Technique, initially possessing power only equivalent to a Ninth Grade Technique.

But it has an extremely unique effect, allowing the user to absorb the Cultivation of those they kill!

This effect is considered defying the heavens; if Demon Cultivators were to all cultivate this Secret Technique, their strength would grow at a shocking rate.

This is much faster and easier than painstaking Cultivation!

Moreover, as more Cultivators are killed, the "Taotie Technique" will evolve and advance, its power growing stronger, and the proportion of absorbed Cultivation increasing.

After reading "Taotie Technique", Chen Nan was overjoyed.

What he wants to do now is to devote himself to Cultivation so that one day he will stand at the top of the Nine Provinces Continent, trampling those who once regarded him as an ant beneath his feet!

And the "Taotie Technique" will undoubtedly help him achieve his goal faster.

However, when he calmed down, Chen Nan broke into a cold sweat, because he realized that the Demon Ancestor had not told him the side effects of cultivating the "Taotie Technique".

With such heaven-defying effects, how could there be no side effects? The Demon Ancestor merely chose not to inform Chen Nan.

But he could figure it out on his own; the side effects would be nothing other than having an unstable foundation or the risk of going insane after absorbing too much Cultivation.

Moreover, to maximize the effect of the "Taotie Technique", one must kill many Cultivators, and once discovered, would be branded a Demon.

The Demon Ancestor was also suppressed here because he killed many Cultivators.

Chen Nan certainly doesn’t want to become a second Demon Ancestor, so the "Taotie Technique" cannot be cultivated recklessly.

After putting away the Jade Scroll, Chen Nan decided to return the way he came, surprised that the mist had all dissipated upon his return, and he encountered no obstacles on the way.

Just as he was about to leave the underground, he saw Divine Calculator approaching.

"Divine Calculator, you dare appear before me again?!"

Chen Nan immediately let out an angry roar, murderous intent surging from him.

Divine Calculator was startled, and when he saw the anger on Chen Nan’s face, he turned around, panic-stricken, and bolted.

"Stand still! If you don’t give me an explanation, don’t blame me for being unkind!"

As he thought of being conned twice by this dead fat man, he couldn’t suppress the fury within him.

As the Thunder Wings unfolded behind him, he suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning shooting out, shattering the ground with a stomp.

Though Divine Calculator’s speed was fast, it could not compare to lightning, and he was caught up in the blink of an eye, receiving a fierce kick to his belly fat.

The fat sunk deeply, and Divine Calculator rolled away like a ball, crashing heavily into a wall.

"Junior Brother, listen to my excuse... no, my explanation!"

Chen Nan rushed over, ignoring Divine Calculator’s words, instead taking the opportunity to throw a few punches, stopping only once he felt content.

"Alright, let’s hear your excuse then. Tell me how you conned me into blazing a trail for you?"

Divine Calculator, his face bruised and swollen, sneaked a glance at Chen Nan like a guilty thief.

"You knew all along?"

"If I still couldn’t figure it out, wouldn’t I be swindled to death by you?" Chen Nan replied crossly.

Immediately demonstrating his great acting skills, Divine Calculator held Chen Nan’s leg, crying and wailing.

"Junior Brother, I suffer, leaving behind what I must retrieve, but my strength is weak, and I have failed many times, I am unworthy of our ancestors!"

"This time was a last resort, but I never intended to harm you. I foresaw on the map that you should arrive safely, right? Did you bring out the Mystic Yin True Water and Compass?"

In the end, he finally revealed his true intentions, still longing for the Mystic Yin True Water and Compass.

Chen Nan sneered, all the while his special map had flown off after locating the core of the Array, never encountering the terrifying Demon Ancestor.

"I didn’t take it. Since Brother knows how to get in, go retrieve it yourself."

After speaking, he prepared to leave.

Divine Calculator didn’t believe Chen Nan’s words at all; he’d come so close but hadn’t taken anything unless it was unattainable.

Rolling his eyes, Divine Calculator realized danger lies ahead, and thus directly followed Chen Nan.

"Hey, Junior Brother, I still think it’s best to stick together; united brothers are strong and can break through anything, I will follow your lead!"

Chen Nan gritted his teeth, "You’re really shameless!"

"Junior Brother flatters me." Divine Calculator shamelessly took pride.

Unable to deal with someone like him, Chen Nan reluctantly let him tag along after getting conned twice by Divine Calculator.

"Junior Brother, where are we heading now?"

After thinking, Chen Nan decided to divulge what had transpired to Divine Calculator.

Upon hearing the description of the Demon Ancestor’s body blotting out the sky, his fat quivered.

Such a terrifying figure is truly best not seen, sparing him the nightmares at night.

"So, once all Ancient Altar Arrays are destroyed, only then can the great Array suppressing the Demon Ancestor be dismantled; this is the Mother and Child Linked Array!"

With his high proficiency in Arrays, he instantly understood the relationship between the Ancient Altar Array and the Array beneath the Divine Hall.

Even more so, because they had first removed the Soul Destruction Sand, destroying an Array, the Demon Ancestor’s power had somewhat restored itself; otherwise, the Demon Ancestor wouldn’t have emerged.

"Destroying the Ancient Altar Array is akin to releasing the Demon Ancestor; won’t there be any problems?" Divine Calculator hesitated.

Simply by hearing Chen Nan’s description, he knew the Demon Ancestor was undoubtedly a powerful Demon.

If truly released, it would surely lead to chaos and bloodshed, countless people dying in the ensuing turmoil.

"But now I only want to survive!"

Suddenly, Chen Nan turned back, glaring fiercely at Divine Calculator, ripping open the clothes on his chest, revealing a black thread there, like a living creature that sent a chill down his spine.

"This is the Restriction the Demon Ancestor placed on me; once the thread completely disappears, I will die. What do you think I should do?"

From the moment the Demon Ancestor placed the Restriction on him, to now, he saw the thread had already shortened, with perhaps less than a month left.

Damn the Demon Ancestor!

He cursed silently in his Heart.

Divine Calculator was startled, then put on a sorrowful look, "Junior Brother, how did this happen? If you die, what will become of Daoist me?"

"Rest assured, Daoist will certainly give you a grand burial and find you a scenic spot for a grave!"
