Chapter 1 Rebirth

  Bang!

  A fist slammed into the head of a first-class wild boar, Chen Xuan pulled his fist out of the boar's head, blood splashing everywhere.

  It's been two days since Chen Xuan arrived at the Sunset Mountain Range, and he has been wandering around the edge of the area, not daring to venture deeper. He first chose some low-level magic beasts to practice his skills, and this is the tenth one he has killed.

  He went deeper, collected the wild boar's body, took out the core and put it in his bag, and continued to move forward. For these two days, Chen Xuan had been passing through the killing, all of which were some low-level magic beasts. When he was hungry, he ate some dry food, and when he was thirsty, he drank spring water.

  The deeper you go, the higher the level of the monsters, and it's said that there are even demonic beasts lurking in the Mountains of Sunset.

  There was a commotion ahead, Chen Xuan cautiously walked forward with his steel knife at the ready. He saw that there was a spotted tiger rushing towards him from the front.

  Third-level magical beast, the mottled tiger. Chen Xuan had bought a mainland logbook before he left, so he basically understood the grades of magical beasts. The mottled tiger saw someone blocking its way and let out a loud roar, pouncing towards Chen Xuan.

  "You beast, how dare you."

  Chen Xuan dodged to the side and avoided the leopard's attack.

  The leopard tiger turned around and pounced on Chen Xuan again. Chen Xuan didn't plan to dodge this time, and with a slight movement of his body, his steel knife chopped down on the leopard tiger's waist, leaving a deep wound that exposed its bones.

  This knife used eighty percent of its power, yet it didn't even cut him in half. The demon beast's body was not ordinary hard.

  "You don't have to compete with him in strength!"

  At this time, Lao Li's voice echoed in Chen Xuan's mind.

  "Did you forget that I told you to practice your sword? Every demon has a weakness, and if you keep killing them like this, by the time you finish off the demon, you'll have exhausted half of your true strength. You're really an idiot! The highest level is to defeat your opponent with the least amount of power. No matter how many moves you have or how fancy your martial skills are, they're useless if you don't know this. The purpose of martial skills is to kill with one strike, not like you, swinging your sword around blindly!" Old Lei said, panting heavily.

  "Got it!"

  Concentrate spirit, grasp knife with both hands, eyes fixed tightly on the spotted tiger.

  The wounded leopard also stirred up its ferocity, let out a loud roar, and then pounced on Chen Xuan.

  The leopard in Chen Xuan's eyes grew bigger and bigger, with a tearing sound, like the sound of skin being torn open.

  "Uggghhh..."

  The leopard tiger fell to the ground in agony, with a thin wound on its neck. Chen Xuan's knife had slashed across its neck, a fatal blow.

  "Good boy, that's the way to do it! If you were still hacking at the leopard like you used to, you'd think you've killed it, but how much real strength would you have left?"

  "Old man, you taught me to throw stones into a small basket every day, and to draw my sword in the same place every morning. Is that also a martial art?" Chen Xuan asked.

  "That's not martial arts, that's just basic skills, it's also laying the foundation for future martial arts, so you can cultivate martial arts faster in the future!"

  "What was the name of that sword technique just now!" Chen Xuan asked eagerly.

  "You're not stupid, you know that the first knife just now was a martial art, and that knife was the first move of my famous Seven Kills Knife, 'Wind Cutting', when it's practiced to perfection, even the wind can be cut open. You've been saying I didn't teach you martial arts all along, so what was that just now?!"

  "Then hurry up and give me the last six moves too!"

  "It's not that I don't want to teach you, but this period of time has been very conflicting for me. This set of Seven Kills Knife is too overbearing, every knife must see blood, every knife is fatal, and every knife is a killing technique. In the past, many people died under this knife technique, because in the past, those who fought with me rarely survived, and finally got the title of Knife Devil. I don't want you to become a killer too!" Lao Li said helplessly.

  "I promise you, I won't provoke my people, and I won't kill anyone without reason," Chen Xuan said hastily.

  "Unless you master this sword technique to the point of unity with your sword, you won't be able to wield it freely. I also mastered it back then, but I still couldn't control my urge to kill, and everyone who crossed swords with me ended up dead at my blade. It wasn't until I was surrounded by people that I chose to self-destruct and escape to Earth!"

  "Have you thought it through, kid? Are you sure you want to cultivate?"

  "I've made up my mind!"

  Chen Xuan, after all, has lived for two lifetimes and thinks differently from ordinary people. The martial arts he uses depend on the person wielding them; in the hands of a benevolent person, they are not lethal, but in the hands of an evil person, they become deadly instruments. It ultimately depends on the moral quality of the person executing the martial arts.

  "You're still not proficient in the first move, wait until you've mastered it and I'll teach you the second move. The third move will have to wait until you reach the Spiritual Martial Realm, even if I teach you now, you won't be able to learn it."

  Lao Tzu's helpless words.

  Lai Lao was very reluctant to pass on the sound to Chen Xuan, after all, Lai Lao did not want Chen Xuan to follow in his own footsteps.

  "Next, spend some time mastering this move, a third-level magic beast can no longer pose a threat to you, continue deeper inside!"

  Chen Xuan continued to venture deeper, and a sixth-order demonic beast, a powerful ape, blocked his path.

  "Draw sword"

  Sheathe the sword

  The giant ape fell at Chen Xuan's feet, and Chen Xuan seemed to be back in the training arena, repeatedly drawing his sword and sheathing it. Chen Xuan's speed of drawing his sword was getting faster and more accurate with each attempt, almost every strike being fatal, and a demon beast would fall with each slash, without wasting a second blow. Old Li also guided him through the movements, again and again.

  It's been ten days since I arrived at the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Every day, I hunt magic beasts during the day and cultivate the Devouring Heaven Technique at night. Chen Xuan feels that he is not far from breaking through to the sixth rank, and he has a faint feeling that he is about to break through, but he just needs an opportunity.

  The fifth and sixth-level magic beasts didn't pose too much of a threat, so Chen Xuan decided to challenge his own limits by taking on a seventh-level magic beast. Only under pressure could he quickly stimulate himself; with the family constantly facing danger, he had to grow up as fast as possible.

  Chen Xuan came to a small stream to drink some water, and there were some fifth- and sixth-grade magical beasts drinking water by the stream. Chen Xuan did not take the initiative to hunt them down.

  Chen Xuan now needs a demon beast that can bring pressure on himself, and suddenly a wolf howl came.

  "Ahhh..."

  A small stream beside the monster scattered and escaped, a wolf with a body as big as a calf, all over the red fur came to the stream to drink water, and scared away all the monsters. Chen Xuan hid behind a tree, observing the monster that came to drink water.

  Huǒ Láng, a seventh-tier demonic beast capable of spitting fireballs to attack. Chen Xuan's mind recalled the description recorded in the Continental Log.

  "It's you then!"

  Chen Xuan walked out from behind the tree, and Huo Lang saw someone walking towards him. He immediately let out a loud roar, bared his teeth and pounced on Chen Xuan.

  "Cutting Wind!"

  Chen Xuan drew his sword, but Huo Lang's speed was more than twice that of a sixth-order magical beast. This sword did not land on Huo Lang's neck, but instead landed on his back, and was dodged by him.

  Huolang let out a loud roar, spitting out a fireball that flew rapidly towards Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan awkwardly used the "Lazy Donkey Rolls" move to dodge the fireball's attack.

  Chen Xuan also struck out with a fierce flame, the first time he was forced to be so desperate, picking up his steel knife Chen Xuan hacked at Huo Lang again.

  The seven-tiered beast was still a bit of pressure, the Fire Wolf's speed was too fast, Chen Xuan's knife was hard to chop at the Fire Wolf's vital point, and the nearby trees were burned by the fireballs spat out by the Fire Wolf.

  Chen Xuan was getting more and more addicted to it, feeling that the sixth rank was getting closer and closer. When he returned this time, he also had to find a body method to practice, his own speed was too slow.
