Chapter 74

【Diamond Body Technique · Not Yet Entered (3/100)】

"It really is a matter of grinding!"

Half an hour later, Xu Yang opened his eyes helplessly.

His true qi didn't show any obvious changes, and the progress of the Diamond Body Technique only increased by "3".

He wasn't in a hurry, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.

【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 33】

The next day, the first thing Xu Yang did when he opened his eyes was to look at the panel.

Yesterday, he obtained the Diamond Body Technique, and the panel rewarded him with thirty points. Without hesitation, he used all thirty points to upgrade his Comprehension.

【Comprehension: 34】

Satisfied, he closed the panel, got up, and practiced the Turtle-Snake Stance for a while before rushing to the Liu residence.

"Yesterday evening, when the Jade Butterfly was committing a crime at the Gu family, he was discovered by experts from the Gu family and besieged by several Qi Gathering Major Success experts. Relying on his lightness skill, he escaped while seriously injured.

This is his portrait. Everyone, take a good look. If you encounter him and take him down, the reward is as high as two hundred taels."

Zhang Bo took out a portrait and spoke about the latest news regarding the Jade Butterfly.

Wang Yun, Wu Yongfeng, Bao Gang, and others swarmed up to look closely at the portrait in Zhang Bo's hand.

"Isn't this the person from yesterday?"

Xu Yang looked over; the person in the portrait was exactly the person who had attacked him outside Bai Shi Square yesterday, whose corpse he had thrown into a mountain cave.

He had thought that person was being hunted down because of the Diamond Body Technique; he hadn't expected them to be the lecherous thief Jade Butterfly who had made all of Qingyuan uneasy.

"That person was actually the Jade Butterfly. Should I take the reward?"

Two hundred taels of silver was a lot—so much that Xu Yang had never seen so much money.

If he went to take the Jade Butterfly's head, he could obtain these two hundred taels.

At the same time, the fact that he had killed the Jade Butterfly would become widely known, and he would instantly gain both fame and fortune.

"I can't take it!"

After thinking for a while, he decided to give up the reward.

He didn't know the background or origin of the Jade Butterfly. If they had some formidable master or senior brothers, they might come to find him for revenge.

And that Diamond Body Technique was sewn so carefully and hidden in the trouser leg; it might be something stolen.

Now that he had already practiced it, if the owner came to his door, they might want to cripple his martial arts or kill him directly.

After weighing the pros and cons, the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

He had plenty of time to grind slowly; there was no need to invite unpredictable crises for just two hundred taels. It was better for the Jade Butterfly's death to rot in his own stomach.

That Diamond Body Technique manual alone was worth more than two hundred taels; there was no need to take risks for this bit of small money.

"It's a pity I didn't find the lightness skill secret manual." Xu Yang secretly regretted.

The Jade Butterfly's most formidable aspect was his lightness skill; being besieged by several Qi Gathering Major Success experts and still escaping by relying on his lightness skill was terrifying.

Of course, his killing methods didn't seem weak either. According to Zhang Bo, a Qi Gathering Major Success expert from the Gu family had been beaten to death on the spot, and other experts had also suffered not-insignificant injuries.

The Diamond Body Technique was mentioned, but it was only said that the Jade Butterfly had cultivated a hard technique and had an astonishing physique, so one must be careful when encountering him.

It is worth mentioning that the Gu family Zhang Bo mentioned was the Gu family where Gu Fang from Weiyuan Martial Hall was from. It seemed the Jade Butterfly's target was Gu Fang, but he hadn't succeeded.

Soon, the patrol started again!

Although Xu Yang knew the Jade Butterfly was dead, he still patrolled diligently.

When the day ended, he returned home to continue cultivating the Diamond Body Technique.

Three days later, there was still no news of the Jade Butterfly, and the defense of the Liu residence began to slacken.

Ten days later, the major families of Qingyuan County determined that the Jade Butterfly was either dead or had left Qingyuan County, and everything returned to normal.

【Diamond Body Technique · Entered (1/1000)】

It was also this day that Xu Yang's Diamond Body Technique finally entered, and his true qi had a trace of the shadow of Diamond True Qi, which was purer than before.

As the true qi circulated in his meridians, the meridians felt a stinging pain as if they were being cut by knives.

He channeled the true qi to his palm and struck; it actually emitted a sound like fine iron, and the defensive power of his skin and flesh increased greatly.

"Diamond True Qi is indeed overbearing. Next, I just need to grind slowly, and sooner or later, I will cultivate true Diamond True Qi."

His head felt a cool sensation, and he added all the points accumulated over the recent period to Comprehension, bringing his Comprehension to "37".

After many days, he and Wu Yongfeng returned to Weiyuan Martial Hall.

The outer courtyard was now almost all new faces, and he didn't recognize them. The two stepped into the inner courtyard under the admiring gazes of those outer courtyard disciples.

"Xu Yang, Senior Brother Wu, the two of you have finally appeared." ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
