Chapter 5: Demon Blade (Seeking Recommendations)

“Gravity suit?”

Fang Xing was astonished.

In the interstellar age, adapting to different gravities is a required course for Martial Artists! A gravity suit is a piece of equipment that assists in cultivation, easily adjusting the user’s gravitational pull. Furthermore, this gravitational force affects the entire body, penetrating down to the cellular level, and is extremely even, far surpassing the effects of any weight training! But the price is also quite… beautiful…

‘And a B-rank martial art—Demon Blade, a prerequisite for the A-rank martial art ‘Ghost God Blade.’ Gu Yun, at most fourteen years old, has already reached the peak of the first realm, about to break through to the second, and has also mastered the basics of a B-rank martial art…’

‘In comparison, I feel like I’ve become a complete waste.’

He was speechless in his heart, but his hands dared not relax, performing a flourish with his stick, blocking in front of him.

The next instant.

Whoosh!

A dark shadow flashed past, swift as a lynx, the wooden sword in its hand seeming to carry a hint of demonic nature, cleaving down through the air.

Slap!

Fang Xing felt a powerful force on his hand, his wooden stick nearly flying out of his grasp, but he managed to hold on.

‘I blocked it!’

‘It’s not that I’m much stronger than Liu Wei, but that she’s wearing a gravity suit! Her speed is much slower than before, and so is her strength…’

He had an epiphany.

“Kill! Kill, kill!”

Gu Yun’s small face lacked any trace of cuteness, instead filled with murderous intent, again wielding the Demon Blade to strike, her eyes bloodshot, as if she had a blood feud with Fang Xing.

‘Demon Blade, truly a Demon Blade… the killing intent is very heavy.’

Fang Xing felt like a small boat sailing in a raging storm, likely to be destroyed at any moment.

The B-rank martial art—Demon Blade, is a blade technique brimming with demonic intent, secretly incorporating hypnotic techniques and mental cultivation to fully unleash the cultivator’s potential. The resulting negative emotions and effects are also extremely terrifying.

No madness, no survival!

It is said that the A-rank martial art ‘Ghost God Blade’ is even more terrifying!

After all, this is a terrifying martial art that allows low-level Martial Artists to directly confront the Evil God’s servants, originating from the era of bloody battles between humans and alien races!

Suddenly, Fang Xing saw Gu Yun’s wooden sword slash, one cut followed by another, two blade shadows seeming to merge together, carrying double the force!

—Double Strike Blade!

‘No, I can’t block it.’

His wooden stick flew out, as he saw Gu Yun’s blade coming down.

“Stop!”

At that moment, a deep voice came.

Gu Yun’s wooden sword stopped before Fang Xing, caught by a hand as white as jade.

“I couldn’t stop in time, I failed again…”

Gu Yun seemed to snap out of a daze, breathing heavily, looking at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared: “Dad…”

The middle-aged man was tall and strong, at least six and a half feet tall. He simply shook his head: “Little Yun’er, don’t be discouraged, you’ve performed much better than last time… This ‘Demon Blade’ was a genuine demonic martial art in ancient times, containing a demonic nature, its cultivator inevitably causing bloodshed and chaos, but now the secrets have been cracked, the key is to ‘obtain the blade and forget the blade,’ defeat the enemy without killing, to tame the demonic nature… Only with such a realm can one attempt to learn the basics of ‘Ghost God Blade,’ otherwise, at best, one will suffer mental derangement, and at worst, Qi and Blood will flow backward, leading to death…”

After saying this, the middle-aged man turned to Fang Xing and Liu Wei: “Thank you both for your hard work, your wages are doubled today!”

“Thank you, boss!”

Liu Wei, hearing this, felt his pain lessen, instantly smiling.

…

Half an hour later.

Leaving the grand Jiang residence, Liu Wei fell silent, after a long time cursing: “Damn it… If I had known it was this kind of sparring, I wouldn’t have come, double the wages, only enough to cover medical expenses… That person looked like a Professional, but it turned out he was so stingy.”

Fang Xing, however, was pondering the middle-aged man’s final words, shaking his head: “He actually did provide compensation, that is, the cultivation secrets of the Demon Blade… It’s really good to come from a family of professionals, this kind of personal instruction is difficult to find in schools, unless you gain the favor of Teacher Xia Long…”

“Damn, I can see it now, that girl used us as tools… She cultivates the Demon Blade technique, difficult to control, thus requiring live sacrifices to hone it, but once this is done, it’s stepping into the abyss… The so-called ‘obtaining the blade and forgetting the blade’ is to tame the demonic nature within the Demon Blade with one’s will, to defeat us without killing, holding back, only then can one truly master the Demon Blade… That girl’s dad deliberately hid in the shadows to constantly monitor whether his daughter could hold back, and to stop her at the last moment…”

Liu Wei wasn’t stupid.

Or rather, the bioengineered students who can enter high school are basically elites, they could see through some things, and couldn’t help but exclaim: “The Demon Blade is so difficult, what about the A-rank martial art ‘Ghost God Blade’?”

“But we were indeed tools… At least we got paid.”

Fang Xing, who still had his cheat code, wasn’t too discouraged, smiling: “He even gave double pay!”

With this money, at least he can order a basic nano-protective suit.

“Hmph, this is what we earned with our injuries…” Liu Wei rubbed his shoulders, still muttering: “I originally thought that everyone living in the grand Jiang residence were tycoons, but it turns out they are just middle-class…”

“Middle-class is a false proposition, do they have assets? It’s more accurate to say they are middle-income earners…” Fang Xing also complained: “From the fact that he arranged for his daughter to follow a Martial Artist career path, you can tell that this family isn’t wealthy…”

Truly wealthy families would have mechs.

“Yeah, yeah, just middle-income, yet they act like tycoons…” Liu Wei laughed, his injuries seemingly improved significantly.

…

Happy Home Community.

“So fast?”

Fang Xing looked at the package at his doorstep, scratching his head: “I just ordered it on the way…”

He hugged the package and opened the door. After scanning his identity, the package box automatically opened, revealing a silver metallic sphere.

Fang Xing pricked his fingertip, letting a drop of blood fall onto the silver sphere.

This wasn’t ‘blood recognition,’ but allowing the nano-suit to memorize his DNA information.

Ding!

After a soft sound, Fang Xing, following the instructions, brought the silver sphere into contact with the skin on his arm.

The silver sphere instantly ‘dissolved,’ like a liquid, covering his entire body.

“Hmm, very light, breathable…”

Fang Xing moved around, finding no obstruction, the weight was also very light.

“Mask mode!”

He softly said a command, and a silver mask immediately covered his face, with a transparent film even protecting the eye sockets.

“All-round, no dead angle protection… Change color! Rose gold!”

At Fang Xing’s command, his nano-suit instantly changed to various colors, finally settling on pure white.

“I don’t need to be so careful at school…”

He thought for a moment, changing the nano-suit into the style of a white short-sleeved shirt, casually lying on the chair, then picking up his holographic glasses: “Play! Play!”

Several hours later…

“Sigh… As expected…”

Fang Xing’s face bore laziness and satisfaction as he lay in bed: “I’m addicted again… Even with reincarnation, without a cheat code, I’m still that useless person…”

Acknowledging one’s ordinariness and incompetence is also a test one must face during growth.

Fang Xing clearly knew that as a former nine-to-five office worker, his history wasn’t very good, even if he had been reborn in ancient times, the greatest possibility was that he would die due to language barriers, illness, famine, or war.

The other world is even worse, representing the fact that most of a time traveler’s experience and knowledge would be useless, especially in a technologically advanced and developed world.

The only thing he could rely on is his cheat code.

Without a cheat code, he would only be able to accept his fate.

“Lying down… is also a kind of wisdom.”

Fang Xing checked the time, forcing himself to sleep, after all, he had class tomorrow.

…

The next day.

Yucai High School.

The voluptuous Lan Fei teacher’s voice was round and clear: “…Evil God’s minions are divided into lower servants, upper servants, lower眷族, upper眷族… and between the upper眷属 and the dominators, there is another level, that is—Evil God’s offspring!”

“Evil God’s offspring, whether in terms of pollution or ability, are far superior to the upper眷族, and it is even rumored that the most powerful Evil God’s offspring possess power and authority close to that of the lower dominators… It’s just that the conditions for the birth of Evil God’s offspring are extremely harsh, and their numbers are scarce, they are not considered a group…”

Fang Xing glanced around and found it empty.

Liu Wei was injured and had taken a class off, currently receiving treatment in the school’s infirmary.

‘The school infirmary’s treatment chamber can even quickly repair broken arms and legs… The key is that students get discounts, Liu Wei definitely wouldn’t want to seek treatment outside…’

While thinking, Fang Xing took notes.

Suddenly, he slightly raised his head, seeing a gaze sweeping over.

‘It’s her, Bai Lianyuan?’

Fang Xing saw a female classmate with exquisite features, looking over with thoughtful eyes.

She had fair and delicate skin, like a fine porcelain doll, possessing a gentle and demure temperament, wearing a snow-white martial arts uniform, with a black belt around her waist, adding a touch of neatness and capability.

‘Looks like I wasn’t wrong in the Jiang residence… Is this guilt?’

Just as he was pondering, it was finally time for class to end. With the change of environment, it was soon time for Fang Xing’s desired Martial Arts class.

“Axing, I’m back!”

At this time, Liu Wei also jogged over, the acne on his face even seemed to be jumping and blushing.

Any student can skip cultural classes, but they certainly wouldn’t want to miss Martial Arts class.

A Martial Arts teacher like Xia Long charges at least 10,000 Star Coins per hour for private tuition!

“Injury healed?”

Fang Xing glanced sideways.

“Of course… Full of vitality!” Liu Wei flexed his muscles.

Interstellar medical technology is indeed extraordinary, plus his arm wasn’t broken, it healed remarkably fast.

“Teacher Xia is here!”

Fang Xing was about to say something when he saw Xia Long enter the classroom. His eyes were like a tiger’s, scanning the room, his voice like a bell, thundering: “First stand the post, then practice the boxing!”

“Yes!”

All the students answered in unison, simultaneously assuming the Great Dragon Stake, with a uniform beauty.

Fang Xing concentrated, practicing the post, gradually entering a state of oneness with the world.

Suddenly, his spine felt like it had been whipped, as if he were a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his fur stood on end.

“The post is too stiff, the Qi and Blood in the third node of the spine needs attention…”

Xia Long’s voice echoed in his ears.

Fang Xing subconsciously followed, feeling his skin tighten, his skill deepening.

He jolted, looking at his attribute panel:

【Great Dragon Stake: 69/100 (Beginner)】

‘Finally got Teacher Xia’s guidance, the difference between having guidance and not having it is truly enormous…’
