Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Chapter 238 Walking in this world, having this body and this heart is enough.

In the Blood Demon God Mountain.

After several days of fighting, Zhang Xiaoyu has been completely transformed.

But the battles that followed were not so easy, as the enemy was almost always in groups of about ten people.

Even with the Ogre Technique, Zhang Xiaoyu wasn't confident she could wipe out the enemy team.

The cannibalistic old demon then appeared.

"My good disciple, your martial arts foundation is still too weak. Today, your master will teach you a couple of moves."

"Only two moves? Master, please teach me a few more."

"There are countless martial arts techniques in the world, but a martial artist's time is limited. Even if I gave you all the secret manuals, how many could you master?"

As the saying goes, "One skill is enough to make you successful," and mastering one martial art is better than superficially learning a hundred.

You only need to learn one type of martial arts from each direction.

Today I will teach you two martial arts techniques.

Mastering these two martial arts will be enough for you to navigate this world.

For lightness skills and movement techniques, you only need to learn my "Blood Shadow Step".

In terms of offensive martial arts, you only need to learn my "Soul-Locking Needle".

People only know me, the cannibalistic old demon, for my skill with swordsmanship, but my true specialty is hidden weapons.

Most of the powerful enemies I've killed were killed with Soul-Locking Needles; my swordsmanship was merely a disguise.

Zhang Xiaoyu thought to herself, "This old guy is really despicable. Isn't this just a sneak attack with a hidden weapon?"

The cannibalistic old demon seemed to be able to sense Zhang Xiaoyu's thoughts.

"You little brat, do you think it's despicable and shameless of me to use a hidden weapon to ambush you?"

Zhang Xiaoyu felt a chill run down her spine; this old guy's senses were far too sharp.

The cannibalistic old devil continues to educate Zhang Xiaoyu.

"Don't take those orthodox moral standards seriously."

Those old guys from the righteous path are the worst, and none of the families in the Sword Sect are any good either.

Do you think the Sword Sect's territory was conquered by those families?

You'll understand when you become the Blood Demon Saint and see the history collected by the Blood Demon Sect.

The four major families of the Sword Sect were originally just underlings of those heroic ancestors.

After the war between humans and demons, the heroes of the past were severely injured. Taking advantage of this, the four major families of the Sword Sect and other second- and third-rate families of the righteous sects joined forces to wipe out the families of the heroes who contributed the most to the war between gods and demons, and completely erased them from history.

These despicable and shameless second- or third-rate families eventually built an everlasting empire.

It's a pity that those heroic ancestors, who fought so hard to defeat the demon race, ultimately fell to their own people, and the fruits of their victory were stolen.

Zhang Xiaoyu frowned, her heart filled with doubt.

This is understandable. He grew up listening to the legendary stories of the Sword Sect, and his respect and admiration for the Sword Sect were deeply rooted in his heart.

If he were with Lin Feng, he would probably immediately believe what the cannibalistic old demon said.

The cannibalistic old demon realized that Zhang Xiaoyu didn't believe him, so he continued to give him pointers.

"You little rascal, you really shouldn't disbelieve me."

History is like a little girl, left to be trampled upon by the victors.

The most powerful thing in this world is actually the four words 'despicable and shameless', which surpass any martial arts skill.

The leaders of the major righteous sects all deeply understand the essence of these four words.

Once you read the real history, you'll know just how tragically those upright and virtuous heroes of the past ultimately ended up.

They never knelt before the devil.

But after their victorious return, those second- and third-rate families threatened their relatives and nephews, forcing them to kneel and beg for mercy, offering their necks for slaughter.

But what happened in the end?

After they died, their families knelt down and begged for mercy from those with powerful or influential families.

They believed they had done great service to humanity, and that people would always leave them some bloodline.

The results of it?

In the end, their entire clan was wiped out, leaving them not a single bloodline.

If you want to be strong, you not only have to be despicable and shameless, but you also have to take a detached view of all relationships in this world. Parents, relatives, and close friends are all fleeting and cannot become your burdens.

As you walk through this world, having this body and this mind is enough; everything else is like the clothes on your body and the shoes on your feet—you can discard and replace them at any time.

......"

Zhang Xiaoyu pondered for a while, finding it difficult to accept the ideas of the cannibalistic old demon, and also not quite believing in the history he described.

The cannibalistic old demon could see it all, of course.

“My disciples must be despicable and shameless; if they cannot, I will kill them.”

"I'm giving you a mission: infiltrate a small group, instigate a fight between two teams, and then wipe them both out."

Zhang Xiaoyu was speechless; this was the first time she had ever heard of someone teaching their apprentices like this.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, his heart skipped a beat.

Is it that this cannibalistic old devil likes to teach his disciples this way? Or does he never even consider me his disciple?

As Zhang Xiaoyu was thinking, the golden headband on her head suddenly contracted, and a piercing pain shot straight into her mind.

"Ahhh!" Zhang Xiaoyu collapsed to the ground with a thud, rolling around in pain as she covered her head with her hands.

"I've been talking to you for ages and you haven't listened to a thing."

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't listen to me."

Zhang Xiaoyu begged for mercy repeatedly, "Master, spare me! Master, spare me!..."

It took about ten breaths for Zhang Xiaoyu's excruciating pain in her head to stop.

The cannibalistic old demon said, "Master didn't mean to torture you."

I'm trying to help you get rid of some of that junk stuff in your head; you have too many toxic ideas.

You can't become a strong person if you have this mindset.

Now, don't think about anything else, just do as I say.

Zhang Xiaoyu sat up and found that her clothes were soaked with sweat. This kind of pain was something that ordinary people could not bear.

Having learned her lesson, Zhang Xiaoyu dared not let her mind wander again.

Next, Zhang Xiaoyu found a small team of eleven people and managed to infiltrate them by paying some resources.

Following the cannibalistic old devil's methods, they found an opportunity to instigate conflict between this team and another team.

The other team is weaker, and when the two teams fight, the other team is at a disadvantage.

When our side is about to win.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Xiaoyu stabbed her in the back, using the Soul-Locking Needle technique she had just learned to ambush her own team leader. She easily wiped out two teams and then absorbed them all with her Ogre Demon Technique.

Zhang Xiaoyu's strength has improved significantly this time, breaking through to the Flesh Refining Realm in one fell swoop.

The cannibalistic old devil then appeared again to lecture Zhang Xiaoyu.

"How about it? You've tasted the sweetness of despicable shamelessness, haven't you?"

If you were to face these two teams head-on, you'd be guaranteed to get killed. But if you're a little unscrupulous and shameless, you can easily take them down.

Don't feel guilty.

All the top experts on your righteous path are despicable and shameless, without exception.

They are simply wearing a moral cloak, making it impossible for ordinary people to see through them.

Next, you need to go a step further: do despicable and shameless things while making people think you are morally upright.

It's okay if you don't know how; the teacher will teach you step by step.

Zhang Xiaoyu stared silently at the mummified corpses scattered on the ground, forced to admit that his teacher was right.

Despicable and shameless are indeed the most powerful weapons in the world, and all those in positions of power are well aware of them.

He had once heard Lin Feng say, "Baseness is the passport of the base, nobility is the epitaph of the noble."

Now I realize that this statement doesn't apply to this world.

Because the noble ones won't even have a tombstone, let alone an epitaph; they will be completely forgotten by the world.

Zhang Xiaoyu took a deep breath. What I want is strength. Do I care about the means?

Since being despicable can lead to strength, then I, Zhang Xiaoyu, will be a despicable and shameless person.

Thinking of this, he felt a sudden sense of clarity, but also a faint sadness.

I, Zhang Xiaoyu, have ultimately become the person I used to hate the most.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked towards Qinghe County, hoping that Xiaofeng and the others wouldn't end up like her on their path to becoming stronger.
