Chapter 28: You Kid, Not Bad!

"This kid must be a pervert, daring to fight a Demon like this?"

Watching the monitor's footage, Liping and several Giant God Army soldiers gaped.

In the footage, Xu Wei is engaged in close combat with a Demon.

The Demon swung an axe down, and Xu Wei skillfully sidestepped.

At the same time, his warblade slashed fiercely at the Demon!

The Demon, in pain, swept a massive axe back in retaliation.

Xu Wei activated Exploding Step, lunged straight into the Demon's body and struck again.

Repeatedly.

Each axe the Demon swings is met with a slash from Xu Wei.

Although his Fist Strength is not as high as the Demon's.

Yet Exploding Step together with Stacked Blade still manages to hurt the Demon!

Even without worrying about efficiency, it can kill the Demon!

"Bold and meticulous! I originally thought this kid only came down to observe the Demon."

"Never expected him to train his blade on the Demon, and make it so thrilling!"

"I retract my earlier words; this kid qualifies to contend with Jiang Nian and Feng Ao for the Demon God Crystal!"

"Indeed, this kid has a certain ruthless vigor!"

"Just because of that ruthless vigor, who will end up with the Demon God Crystal after a month is still uncertain!"

"Hmm, Xu Wei's Fist Strength is insufficient now, but once his blade is refined, his Fist Strength will rise, and his speed in killing the Demon will definitely surpass others!"

Liping and the Giant God Army soldiers watching nearby were somewhat shocked.

Xu Wei's current blade training is not in vain.

It's like a butcher; after slaughtering many pigs, one naturally knows how to dismember more efficiently and with less effort.

In plain terms, practice makes perfect.

Of course.

This isn't to say that those with high Fist Strength can't train their blade on the Demon.

It's just that if your Fist Strength crushes the Demon, you overlook many details, making blade training very inefficient.

It's like adults training fists with children.

Do you expect adults and children to gain anything from the training process?

When the weak fight the strong, the weak always reap more.

Of course.

The premise is that the weak must not be killed by the strong.

Otherwise, no matter how much they gain, it's all for nothing.

Moreover.

They know Xu Wei's Stacked Blade at Micro Level, Exploding Step at Micro Level, and that his Fist Strength can increase by 500 Pounds per day.

Previously they doubted him because Jiang Nian was improving, and Feng Ao was also improving.

Jiang Nian's Fist Strength rise will certainly not be slower than Xu Wei's.

Xu Wei's Fist Strength rises 500 Pounds per day.

Jiang Nian's rises 1000 Pounds per day!

Under normal circumstances, how could Xu Wei's Demon killing compare to Jiang Nian's?

But now it's different!

The ruthless vigor Xu Wei displayed impressed the Giant God Army soldiers!

Add to that the Micro Level Stacked Blade and Exploding Step.

Perhaps there truly is a sliver of chance to vie for first place!

"This kid probably still doesn't know the benefits of the Demon God Crystal."

"No, when he returns, I must remind him of something."

Liping thought to himself.

……

The eighteenth layer of the Feng Family's underground palace.

Xu Zhangjiang, following the other workers, walked cautiously within, his gaze carefully scanning the surroundings.

The walls of unknown material were densely covered with countless characters.

"Heaven and Earth are heartless, treating all things as straw dogs..."

Xu Zhangjiang whispered one of the lines.

He has also read a bit of books.

He knows this is a famous saying from Laozi's Dao De Jing.

"But why does Laozi's saying appear in the Demon God underground palace?"

Xu Zhangjiang was somewhat puzzled.

He didn't wait to think it over.

The worker ahead warned:

"Shh, keep it down; if we provoke the Demon, we'll all die."

"Your name is Xu Zhangjiang, right? Listen up, the Feng Family's task for us is to search for any suspicious items."

"As long as we can find a single usable item, besides the base salary, we can also receive a hefty bonus."

"Besides, that's also the most important thing: if you don't want to die, you must hide in this room from 12 to 1 every day."

A co‑worker tossed a watch to Xu Zhangjiang and then pushed open a room door.

There are many rooms within the maze.

No one knows what they're for.

But Martial Artists generally use the rooms as bases.

"Why must we hide in here from 12 to 1? Is it because demons and monsters appear?"

Xu Zhangjiang was somewhat puzzled.

"Demons and monsters? Compared with them, that thing that appears from 12 to 1 is truly terrifying!"

"You must have heard that the Feng Family Martial Artists suffered heavy losses in the Underground Palace, which is why they're recruiting ordinary people like us into the Underground Palace, right?"

Xu Zhangjiang nodded.

He had heard about this before coming here.

He even heard many co‑workers talk about it on the bus.

It is said that the Feng Family lost several hundred Martial Artists in this Underground Palace!

The Martial Arts Association is paying attention, asking what happened.

"Didn't the Feng Family say they encountered a Demon God, which caused the heavy losses?"

Xu Zhangjiang said.

"Damn Demon God!"

"That's the Feng Family's excuse to the outside; in reality, they never encountered a Demon God!"

"Those Martial Artists all died at the hands of that thing that appears from 12 to 1!"

"If you don't enter the room from 12 to 1, both junior and senior Martial Artists will die!!"

"If it weren't for a Martial Artist who happened to be resting at a temporary base and luckily survived to discover this secret, no Martial Artist would dare to explore this Underground Palace!"

The co‑worker pursed his lips.

Hearing this, Xu Zhangjiang widened his eyes.

Both junior and senior Martial Artists will die?

What kind of monster is this?

He was terrified to death in his heart.

In his view, a senior Martial Artist's Fist Strength of one hundred thousand Pounds is already god‑like.
