Chapter 78: 080: Think long-term, admit to cowardice inwardly

The daily quest that promised strength through martial training had been issued, and the majority of players within Black Wind Village were finally able to vent some of their frustrations.

However, there were still a small number of players who continued to complain, believing that a game should just be for entertainment and that there was no need to work so exhaustingly hard.

Jiang Dali had no intention of indulging these few players.

At this point, many players had not yet recognized the challenges of the Mixed Martial Arts World, still treating it with a casual gaming mentality.

They even believed that the natives of this world were merely chunks of NPC data, thinking that levelling up and learning martial arts could simply be resolved by spending some Cultivation Points and Potential Points, never undergoing a subtle shift in attitude.

Such a group of people would ultimately be quickly left behind by the most diligent and adaptable players.

Even new players who joined after the public test could surpass them.

By the time they realized their mistake, it might be too late, as all the good opportunities had been snatched away by others.

Jiang Dali did not have high expectations for these complacent and lazy complainers either.

Although Black Wind Village needed to attract more players to help him rapidly grow stronger.

Once the number reached a certain level, it was inevitable to weed out the unworthy and take the path of elite quality.

If there were differences now, then let the differences evolve.

When the fruit is ripe, he would go back and cut it down with one stroke.

Thinking this way, Jiang Dali glanced at his attribute panel.

"Jiang Dali [Black Wind Village Chief (Outer Qi Realm Big Boss), Qi-Blood 5320/6200, Inner Qi 1500/1500[Nine Yang Variant])

Realm: Outer Qi Realm (0/1500)

Status: Black Wind Village Chief/Green Clothes Silver-letter Assassin

Martial World Reputation: Notoriety Spreads Far (950/3000)

Pet: Sword Gate Demon Hawk

Martial Arts: Hidden Weapon: Mortal Middle Grade ’Sky Rain’ (3rd stage slightly successful)

Fist and Foot: Basic ’Four Directions Fist’, Basic ’Six Paths Leg’, Basic ’Eight-direction Palm’, Earth-rank Ultimate Skill Fragment ’Great Vajra Palm’ (2nd stage Initial Insight)

Saber Skill: Mortal Middle Grade ’Tiger Evil Golden Ring Saber’ (5th stage Refinement)

Internal Cultivation Methods: ’Basic Internal Skill·Nine Yang Divine Skill’ (1st stage barely grasping the basics)

Cultivation Points: 6081

Potential Points: 1960" (Don’t talk about the panel being filler anymore, it’s free ha, and I’ve not posted many Chapters, after the launch I will reduce the panel’s appearance or omit most of it.)

After learning Nine Yang Divine Skill, his Basic Internal Skill had fallen from the 7th stage Peak back down to the 1st stage.

This fall was not a regression in power, but rather a full integration of his original Inner Strength with Nine Yang Divine Skill.

The ordinary Inner Qi had wholly transformed into the more potent Nine Yang Inner Qi variant.

As a result, his Basic Internal Skill, now centered on Nine Yang Divine Skill, was at the stage of barely grasping the basics.

"If in the future I could train the Nine Yang Divine Skill to a deep realm and gain a deeper understanding, I could then attempt to continue learning and integrating other powerful Internal Strength techniques. That’s the advantage of Basic Internal Skill."

Jiang Dali thought to himself, looking at his current 1960 Potential Points which he still hadn’t used.

He had just acquired the One Yang Finger but hadn’t learned it yet.

To learn this Earth-rank Ultimate Skill would require 4000 Potential Points.

Jiang Dali planned to leave the vicinity of the Kunlun Mountain Range and then buy a carriage, traveling while seated inside it.

Thus, he would be able to practice the One Yang Finger while seated on the Ice Soul Jade Stone, making good use of the time.

...

Meanwhile,

outside the Zhuwu Linked Rings Estate and the gate of the Kunlun Sect, two groups of Players from the Bloodthirsty Guild had appeared, respectively.

"Xin Se, I’ve told you I can’t leave the mountain, and seeing you here at the gate is already a kindness from my Master.

You’ll have to deal with that traitor Wan Chen yourselves. Doesn’t your Bloodthirsty Guild have enough talent to handle this?"

A player in a green robe carrying a sword walked down from the Kunlun Sect gate, frowning at Xin Se, the vice president of the Bloodthirsty Guild.

Xin Se smiled faintly, "Hehehe. Wan Yue, don’t underestimate our Bloodthirsty Guild. I’m not here to ask you to do us a favor; I have a very important matter that needs to be reported to the experts of the Kunlun Sect through you."

"Oh? What’s the matter?"

"I’ll tell you. The Master of Zhuwu Linked Rings, Zhu Changling, may have met with misfortune. We encountered a foreign NPC who asked us to help him find some herbs..."

Xin Se explained the whole story to Wan Yue, and added, "Our guild has also sent a group to inform the Zhuwu Linked Rings Estate, and it’s confirmed that Zhu Changling might indeed have met with misfortune."

Wan Yue’s expression first turned grave, then he chuckled lightly, "What do the Zhu family’s feuds with others have to do with our Kunlun Sect? Do you think someone will care just because I report this?"

Xin Se’s face turned ugly as he snorted, "I’ve told you the news. Whether you report it or not, that’s up to you. As the largest sect in the Kunlun Mountain Range area, wouldn’t the Kunlun Sect, who holds sway here, inquire about Master Zhu Changling of the neighboring Zhuwu Linked Rings Estate dying at the hands of outsiders, leaving behind orphans and widows?"

Wan Yue chuckled, "Alright, I’ll go back and report it. But if the Master doesn’t wish to bother with it, then there’s nothing I can do."

"You’d better notify them quickly, or that foreigner might even escape."

...

Half a day later.

An assembly of Kunlun Sect Disciples, led by Elder Xu Keqing, joined forces with the people of Zhuwu to arrive outside the secret cave harboring the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Almost as soon as they arrived outside the cave, the Sword Gate Demon Hawk inside had already sensed them in advance and escaped from the cave, flying away from the valley.

"Sword Gate Demon Hawk!?"

Elder Xu Keqing’s complexion instantly changed as she exclaimed in concern.

All the Disciples and Zhu family members present also paled at the mention of the Demon Hawk.

"This is the big eagle we saw yesterday, but now it seems even bigger."

At that moment, the young Zhu Jiuzhen, only six or seven years old, spoke up in a preadolescent voice.

"It seems Master Zhu must have seen this Demon Hawk last night and descended into the valley to investigate. This Sword Gate Demon Hawk is a Messenger Pet often kept by Demon Sect experts.

Wherever the Demon Hawk frequents, Demon Sect experts may also be present. It’s possible that Master Zhu has encountered a murderous demon!"

Elder Xu Keqing said with a somber expression.

Hearing the words "murderous demon", everyone from Zhuwu, including the youthful Zhu Jiuzhen, realized that their father might have met with danger, and their faces whitened with emotion stirring.

"Let’s go up and take a look."

Elder Xu Keqing suddenly used Qinggong to leap into the air, reaching the crevice above in several bounds.

The other Disciples followed suit if their Qinggong was good enough, while those less skilled in Qinggong stayed to wait below.

A short time later.

Elder Xu Keqing, with a very ugly expression, stared at the unrecognizable corpse of Zhu Changling inside the cave.

Her gaze wandered between the skeleton of a White Ape and the deep pit dug into the ground.

She picked up a piece of Ice Soul Jade fragment remaining in the pit, her expression changing subtly, "Is this Ice Soul Jade Stone?"

"It seems... that people from the Demon Sect learned of Ice Soul Jade Stone here and came to excavate it only to be discovered by Zhu Changling. After a fierce battle..."

Elder Xu Keqing eyed the violently shattered, collapsed rock wall and the embedded body of Zhu Changling, drawing in a cold breath with her hardened flesh on her face tensed like tendon, her thoughts already dismissing any impulse to take the lead.

"If it truly was the work of someone from the Demon Sect, this person’s strength must be extremely formidable. Master Zhu Changling’s strength was only stronger than mine... yet he was beaten to death against the wall.

This... cannot be handled rashly. We must think this through for the long term, report back to the Sect Leader and the Three Saints, then make a decision.

Furthermore, Wu Lie has yet to return. He can handle this vendetta... It’s better not to get involved with such murderous demon ways if we can avoid it..."
