This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Defeated by Junior Female Apprentice with One Move

Half a year later, almost all major skills had been leveled up to the fourth tier, which is the rapid advancement endpoint for all players in the early game.

From the fourth to the fifth tier, the required Experience sees a soaring increase, easily starting from millions. Players then begin to shift from earning experience to holistically improving themselves, awaiting the next version update.

Now, Liang Yi stands at the pinnacle of the first version, leading other players by at least two version updates, and this gap will only widen further over time.

In just half a year, his skill panel evolved from initially having only a few skills in golden orange to a list that stretches extensively upon scrolling down. Although most of the new skills learned were of medium quality, Liang Yi did not study them just for fun.

In his past life, he was a pure homebody with only nine years of compulsory education. If you asked him to explain about Swordsmanship, the most he could offer would be some cliches:

"No sword exceeds having a sword."

"There is no sword in hand, but a sword in the heart."

"Human Sword Unity"

These are things that everyone here could say, but when it comes to basic knowledge of Swordsmanship, he knows next to nothing.

Completely clueless.

Although the Immaculate Sword Technique clearly crammed various concepts of swordplay into Liang Yi’s mind, allowing him to perform a set standardly, it was impossible for him to dissect the movements step by step.

This issue also posed the greatest obstacle to the proficiency growth of his Sword Technique.

Thus, he pulled out the Basic Swordsmanship from the talisman, absorbing the knowledge like a sponge with the help of the You Meng Garden Transformation Array’s effects. Moreover, with his understanding of more advanced Sword Techniques, revisiting these basics led to twice the result with half the effort.

After mastering Basic Swordsmanship, Liang Yi learned a bunch of blue and purple quality Sword Techniques for reference. However, he only studied them superficially, taking in the underlying sword principles as nourishment.

The same went for Daoist Skills; the Basic Taoism Collection was to fill the gaps in his lower-end knowledge.

Given that he wasn’t a true native, he couldn’t start learning step-by-step from a young age. Fortunately, with the System in hand, tasks that took others years or decades could be accomplished by simply clicking to upgrade.

While studying Daoist Skills, Liang Yi also discovered some peculiar aspects of Endless Dao.

It surprisingly had no special attribute enhancements!

Other cultivation techniques, like the Complete Heaven Sect’s "Complete Heaven Changes Defense Scripture," would incredibly enhance Star Dao Techniques and Heavenly Mechanism Calculation. When previously in the game, these enhancements were numerically displayed.

Studying a Fire System Technique would enhance Fire Daoist Skills, allowing them to exhibit 150% of their power. Conversely, studying a Water Dao Technique without any enhancement would substantially reduce its effectiveness, displaying only 70% of its power.

Yet, Endless Dao was unique; it neither enhanced nor weakened, maintaining neutral balance, meaning Liang Yi could execute any kind of Daoist Skills with 100% effectiveness.

For Liang Yi, who had the talisman on hand, this was indeed great news, so in his excitement, he learned various Daoist Skills sporadically, equipping himself to handle any situation.

With plenty of Experience, might as well make use of it!

Starting a team without maximizing potential is like wasting it; not using Experience to improve oneself is also a waste!

Finally, there was the Escape Skill. Ultimately, Liang Yi couldn’t resist and also learned the third golden Escape Skill. It’s not that Liang Yi was inhuman, but that gold was too tempting!

He also casually learned the Great Five Elements Escape Skill, the kind that typical Forbidden Five Elements Formations couldn’t trap.

Realizing that the three top-tier Escape Skills he learned, though unmatched in speed and providing the most enhancements when transforming into tunneling light, were still not comprehensive enough, he simply learned the most extensive Escape Skill available to bolster his arsenal.

"Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool! Good brother, I’ll remember you!"

Liang Yi sincerely thanked his master for setting up this Array, for without it, his half-year of cultivation achievements would have been halved.

Not to mention his current comprehension of all aspects of Sword Skill and Daoist Skill has truly reached the standard expected of a Super Force heir.

Having fought countless battles in his previous life, considered top-notch among players, plus the six months of intense refining by that mysterious phantom. If he were to engage in real combat now, Liang Yi himself didn’t know how strong he would be.

He only knew that the black-robed person from when he first crossed over, he could now easily overwhelm single-handedly. As for Yin Lu at his prime, he might still be unbeatable for Liang Yi, but managing two moves and retreating unscathed would be effortless.

"Half a year and you’ve become this strong! Worthy of being me indeed!"

Liang Yi boastfully praised himself.

"Senior brother~"

A voice like wind chimes came from the entrance of the cave.

A joyful expression appeared on Liang Yi’s face, he scratched his somewhat messy long hair that hadn’t been groomed for half a year, and made his way out of the cave mansion.

Su Youyi, dressed in a blue skirt, stood at the entrance with a gentle expression.

Seeing her senior brother come out, Su Youyi mischievously smiled, leapt up, and wrapped her arms around Liang Yi’s neck, pressing herself against him.

"Hey, haven’t bathed in half a year, aren’t you finding it dirty?"

Liang Yi felt helpless towards this junior sister.

"I don’t mind Senior Brother being dirty!"

"Who’s talking about me, I clean myself daily with the Cleaning Technique, I meant you!"

"Senior Brother, you’re so mean!"

Su Youyi realized she misunderstood his meaning, her face turned red, and her fists became a blur as they hammered into Liang Yi’s chest.

Feeling a great force from his chest, Liang Yi felt the corner of his mouth heat up. He reached up to touch it, and saw a smear of bright red on his thumb.

"My Qinglian Creation at the fourth level? Is it fake?"

Liang Yi showed a life-questioning face.

"Ah, Senior Brother! I’m so sorry! I just broke through in my Daoist Skill and couldn’t control it well."

Seeing the blood on her senior brother’s mouth, Su Youyi’s movements became noticeably flustered, hurriedly taking out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, before not daring to stay too close to Liang Yi.

Liang Yi grabbed Su Youyi, who was trying to distance herself, and grinned confidently.

"It’s okay, your Senior Brother isn’t that weak."

"Senior Brother..."

"Hmm?"

"There’s still blood all over your mouth..."

Su Youyi looked up at Liang Yi and cautiously reminded him.

"..."

Liang Yi’s expression stiffened, his image completely destroyed, no way to continue this topic, so he shifted the subject.

"Junior sister, what Realm have you reached now, and what Daoist Skill did you just break through?"

"In terms of Realm, I just broke through to the fourth level of Guardian Realm two days ago. The Skill I learned from the talisman is ’Moonlight Cloud Essence’, a Body Cultivation Method, and today I’ve broken through to the fifth level. Senior Brother, that ’Qinglian Creation’ you’re studying is too difficult, I just couldn’t comprehend the existence of Creation Green Lotus initially."

Su Youyi propped her index finger on her head, tilting her head to recall.

"’Moonlight Cloud Essence’, huh?" This Body Cultivation Method, Liang Yi had seen in the talisman, was also a top-tier golden skill, absorbing Moonlight and Cloud Essence into the body, like the moon coldly overlooking Mortal World from the Nine Heavens, indestructible. As clouds drift and elegantly float with the wind, impervious to all methods.

Correspondingly, the Moonlight needed for cultivating this Skill must be exceptionally pure, and the rarer the Cloud Essence, the better. Although primarily focused on defense and evasion, being a Body Cultivation Method, it also wouldn’t lack the necessary strength.

Considering that the junior sister is now level 44, all her knowledge is certainly not inferior to his own, a defense-breaking move was indeed to be expected.
