Chapter 20

At the same time, the other party's words also served as a reminder to him; he still had to be careful and cautious when using martial arts that were not registered with the DemonSubduingOffice.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Lu Changsheng left the DemonSubduingOffice office and returned to his small courtyard.

For the next few days, he began to practice the several technique manuals with all his might, preparing to get them all initiated in one go.

Time flew by, and three days passed.

This day, early morning.

Lu Changsheng was practicing the Five Tiger Door-Breaking Blade when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

He turned his head to look.

He saw a young man in black crossing the threshold and walking in.

Lu Changsheng frowned; he was not familiar with this person, only having met him once at the DemonSubduingOffice office.

Before long, the man in black walked up to Lu Changsheng, looking arrogant: "My young master invites you for a gathering."

"Who?"

Lu Changsheng's brows tightened.

Having just joined the DemonSubduingOffice, he didn't know any young masters.

"The genius of the Li family, Li Yunhua."

As he spoke, Ye Songlin looked full of pride.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng's eyes shifted slightly.

This person had joined the DemonSubduingOffice with him, and he had seen the other party's "heroic posture" of lifting the cauldron that day.

However, the two had no interaction, and the other party looking for him was somewhat unexpected.

"Lead the way."

Lu Changsheng looked indifferent.

He wanted to see what medicine the other party was selling in their gourd.

Soon, Ye Songlin led Lu Changsheng out of the courtyard.

While walking, the other party didn't stop talking.

"It's very difficult for us commoners to practice, and since everyone is practicing the Iron Cloth Shirt, it's better to find a backer..."

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng sneered inwardly.

This person wanted to be a dog for the aristocratic families, but he had no such intention.

It seemed the purpose of this trip was very clear.

Before long, the two arrived in a courtyard.

Li Yunhua was standing in the open space, waiting for them.

Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, he said nonchalantly: "Your technique has flaws, and your martial path won't go far. How about joining my guard team? I also have some methods for medicinal baths here..."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I'll decline."

Lu Changsheng refused the other party without hesitation.

Li Yunhua's expression turned cold: "Are you not going to consider it? I heard you recently offended some people."

"No need."

A flash of killing intent crossed Lu Changsheng's heart.

Then he turned and walked away directly.

At this moment, even a fool would understand that the Sanhe Gang had made a move.

Li Yunhua had probably reached some agreement with the other party, or it was a direct transaction.

To let the other party kill him.

After all, in Li Yunhua's view, killing a Stone Skin warrior was like crushing an ant, and getting some benefits from the Sanhe Gang was not bad.

It was a life-or-death situation between the two, so naturally, there was no need to say anything more.

"Hmph... The Sanhe Gang has such a big hand, reaching their dark hands into the DemonSubduingOffice."

Lu Changsheng's killing intent boiled.

When he had the chance in the future, he would definitely settle these accounts.

As for Li Yunhua, he was probably also looking for a suitable opportunity, so he had to increase his strength as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming situation.

Li Yunhua watched Lu Changsheng leave without any courtesy, his eyes filled with palpable killing intent.

As a genius of the Li family, no one had ever dared to ignore him like this.

This person was already on his must-kill list.

As they were in the same batch of recruits for the DemonSubduingOffice, it was highly likely they would be on the same mission next time, and he would settle the score then.

"Young Master, don't be angry; this kid won't be able to jump around for long."

Ye Songlin hurriedly stepped forward to show his loyalty.

………………

After returning to his courtyard, Lu Changsheng began to practice the newly acquired secret manuals day and night.

It wasn't until three days later that he had initiated all these secret manuals.

"Crimson, add points for me, add points to everything!"

Lu Changsheng couldn't wait to open the panel. As the Source Energy Points on the panel flowed away rapidly, several martial arts were also improving rapidly.

Lu Changsheng felt as if he were in an alternate space, practicing martial arts every moment.

This practice lasted for more than ten years.

【After you practiced diligently for three years, the Five Tiger Door-Breaking Blade reached perfection.】

【After you practiced diligently for six years, Floating Light Shadow reached perfection.】

【After you practiced diligently for ten years, the Burning Blood Secret Art reached perfection.】

【After you practiced diligently for eleven years, the Iron Arm Skill and Iron Head Skill reached perfection.】

……

……

……

Crisp prompt sounds rang in his ears one after another.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, as if time were flowing within them.

He clenched his fists tightly, and an incomparably powerful force surged into his heart.

After the Iron Head Skill and Iron Arm Skill reached perfection, his strength had reached a terrifying 3,000 jin, an increase of about 1,000 jin.

If it were an ordinary warrior, it would be impossible to practice several techniques to perfection at the same time, except for a freak like himself.

Even children of aristocratic families didn't have such conditions; the conflicts between techniques were not so easily reconciled.

Lu Changsheng gently urged the blood and Qi in his body.

"Buzz, buzz..."

His whole body radiated a bronze-colored luster, looking like a bronze statue.

The skin membrane all over his body had finally reached the Copper Skin Realm.

He opened the panel.

Host: Lu Changsheng.

Age: 20 (85).

Realm: Copper Skin Warrior.

Techniques: Iron Cloth Shirt 【Perfect】, Iron Head Skill 【Perfect】, Iron Leg Technique 【Perfect】, Iron Arm Skill 【Perfect】.

Skills: Burning Blood Secret Art 【Perfect】, Basic Blade Technique 【Perfect】, Five Tiger Door-Breaking Blade 【Perfect】, 【Floating Light Shadow】 【Perfect】.

Equipment: Killing Pig Knife 【Sharp Weapon】

Quality: Blue.

Status: Good.

Bound Exotic Beast: Pangolin.

Source Energy Points: 7.

Looking at all the martial arts techniques on the panel reaching perfection, Lu Changsheng felt his own strength for the first time.

This all-around improvement brought an extremely shocking increase in strength.

If his strength before was only that of an ordinary Copper Skin warrior, then at this moment, he was the most top-tier existence among Skin Refinement warriors.

The perfect-level blade technique and movement technique also gave him more means.

Whether attacking or escaping, he could advance and retreat freely.

However, the consumption of Source Energy Points this time was also extremely shocking.

The resources of the entire Xiao Yun Mountain had been emptied by him to reach this point.

Looking at the plus sign behind the Iron Cloth Shirt still being gray, Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought.

He urgently wanted to know what the next realm was.

Was it beyond everything in the past, including the founder of the technique, above perfection?

It seemed that the Copper Skin recognized by the Attribute Panel was not the limit of Skin Refinement.

However, the Source Energy Points in his hand were already in short supply, and he had to explore the mountain range again.

There wasn't much time left for him, and the next mission could arrive at any time.

And there were the Sanhe Gang and those heretical cultists of the Wenxiang Sect; a sense of impending storm always lingered in his heart, not allowing him to slack off.

"Next mission, I must give Li Yunhua a big surprise."

Lu Changsheng sneered inwardly.

………………

Cangyun Mountain Range, as a branch of the 100,000 Great Mountains, was far from the range controlled by humanity. Poisonous insects and fierce beasts ran rampant, and miasma was abundant; it had always been a forbidden zone for humans, and even some warriors didn't dare to venture deep into it.

At night, the bright moon hung high, and the moonlight was like water.

"Rustle..."

Just at this moment, a pangolin suddenly darted out from the ground. It carefully examined the surrounding environment, its eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.
