Dashing Student-Chapter 1114: Fate Beyond One’s Control

Regarding Chen Nan’s sudden advancement in cultivation, the one-eyed assassin already imagined a scenario of a genius assassin, labeling Chen Nan as a prodigy.

Little did he know this was intentionally exhibited by Chen Nan, as if he cultivated normally, the cultivation would progress too slowly. Even if he became an official assassin, he could only carry out minor tasks.

When would he be able to accumulate enough merit to exchange for the "Heaven-Slaying Art"?

So after some thought, he decided to portray himself as a genius, the type with rapid advancement in cultivation, so that his progress would not appear too abrupt.

After teaching "Concealing Technique" and "Assassination Technique" once, night had fallen. The one-eyed assassin took out dozens of jade bottles and placed them on the ground with a wave of his hand.

Then he took out a large quantity of spirit stones and placed them beside them.

"These are your cultivation resources. Each person gets one hundred low-grade spirit stones and one bottle of Qi Gathering Pill. Come up and take them."

Qi Gathering Pill is a Ninth Grade elixir used to assist Foundation Establishment cultivators in their cultivation.

Chen Nan curled his lips, feeling quite disdainful in his heart. One hundred low-grade spirit stones and one bottle of Qi Gathering Pill were unbelievably stingy.

Yet he still followed the flow, stepped forward, and received the spirit stones and elixir.

After doing this, the one-eyed assassin called up Qing You and several other female assassins, leading them to another room.

"Tonight, I will teach you something else, ensuring that it will leave men enchanted and on the brink of ecstasy. By then, your tasks will be much easier."

Clearly, he had not given up yet, and his tone was quite lewd.

Chen Nan, seeing this, knew that the move from yesterday no longer worked, so he jumped out of the window directly, entering the one-eyed assassin’s room before him.

When the one-eyed opened the room, he saw Chen Nan already lying on his bed.

"Senior, what will you teach tonight? I also want to learn!"

At the thought of facing Chen Nan, a man, the one-eyed assassin’s good mood vanished entirely. Even when looking at the female assassins, he couldn’t help but imagine Chen Nan.

"I’ll teach your mother, now get out!"

Chen Nan’s body shivered, and he quickly ran out, taking Qing You and the others with him.

After moving away, Qing You tugged at Chen Nan’s sleeve.

"It’s too dangerous. He might kill you. In the future... there’s no need for this."

"Our lives are not our own anyway; it’s bound to happen sooner or later."

Chen Nan smiled, feeling a bit sorry for the female assassins, who were completely used as tools.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine. From his actions yesterday, it’s clear he dares not kill us."

"It seems his task has a bottom line, which is not to kill us."

Winking at Qing You, he then found a room to begin his cultivation.

Although he had noted down the two techniques, "Concealing Technique" and "Assassination Technique," today, he still needed to cultivate quickly so that they truly became his.

After some training, Chen Nan frowned slightly.

He always felt that both techniques were incomplete and not whole. While they had some effect, the difference was significant compared to the assassins he had seen using them.

During his time at the Qingshan Sect, he also practiced incomplete techniques, so he was almost certain now.

"I didn’t expect them to have another precaution. Really insidious."

Chen Nan sighed twice. For the incomplete versions of the two techniques, he only practiced them briefly before continuing his cultivation.

Three days later, the one-eyed assassin gathered everyone again.

"I gave you three days. By now, you should have almost mastered ’Concealing Technique’ and ’Assassination Technique.’ We will begin the inspection now."

He smiled, but it was a cold smile, making people quite uneasy.

Chen Nan squinted slightly, his sixth sense telling him something felt very wrong.

Having a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators comprehend two Seventh Grade techniques within three days was simply too demanding.

Even Chen Nan only barely managed to practice them, which was partly because he was unwilling to practice incomplete ones.

Other assassins were nervous too, but under the one-eyed assassin’s gaze, they quickly used "Concealing Technique" to hide themselves.

But they were full of flaws.

Some exposed half their bodies, some had their heads sticking out as if they’d been beheaded, and some could be seen clearly even while performing it.

"Sigh, you’re a bunch of idiots. Such simple techniques and you can’t even learn them. You’re utterly useless!"

The one-eyed assassin roared, suddenly releasing a fierce aura, reminiscent of not only a lecherous old man but also a former B-level killer!

In Yama Hall, assassins are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. D-level is the lowest, and A-level includes the elite assassins. They are rare and expensive, but well worth the cost.

A B-level killer corresponds to a high-level Golden Core Stage cultivator. Since the one-eyed assassin had successfully assassinated a Golden Core Sixth Layer cultivator, he was also classified as a B-level killer.

The one-eyed assassin sneered, slapping a young assassin to the ground, and even kicking him brutally, before moving on to the next.

Quickly, almost all the cultivators were humiliated in turn by him, even the female assassins were no exception.

Only Chen Nan was spared; after a glance, the assassin just moved on to the next person.

Chen Nan’s "Concealing Technique" was also not up to standard, with a visible human silhouette, but at least he made the attempt.

Plus, the assassin couldn’t figure out Chen Nan’s true background and didn’t want to offend him.

Thus, Chen Nan became the only one to escape unscathed.

The one-eyed assassin was not only reprimanding the young cultivators but seemed to be venting, cursing viciously and not using any mana.

But several young cultivators were kicked so hard that they couldn’t stand up, Qing You being the worst, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood.

After this, he sat back down.

"From today, target me for your assassination attempts. If successful, you’ll be qualified."

Sending inexperienced young assassins to assassinate an experienced elder assassin, especially when the elder is on guard, is predictably difficult.

Yet all the young assassins were eager to try, as the one-eyed assassin was simply too detestable.

In the days that followed, all the young assassins tried their best to assassinate the one-eyed assassin, only to be caught and humiliated every time.

Once, he even hung several young assassins attempting his assassination, stripping them of their clothes. Among them were two female assassins.

The one-eyed assassin pointed at the hanging ones, laughing hysterically: "Haha, you’re too weak! See? This is the consequence of failure!"

He never treated these young assassins as people, just wanting to stomp their dignity and pride into the mud.

"You must always remember, compared to your life, dignity and pride are trivial!"

The young assassins looked up with no trace of lewd thoughts in their eyes, only deep-seated hatred.
