"Young Master, you must avenge Brother Xu. The guards said it was the Bloodthirsty Demon who killed him."

"Qing'er, I know. Brother Xu was kind to me, yet he died because of me."

"If I hadn't killed the woman in black, the guards wouldn't have patrolled that dense forest."

"I swear, I will dedicate my life to annihilating the Bloodthirsty Demon clan."

Huang Ye made his first vow in this world.

"Young Master, I want to go too," Qing'er sobbed.

"Alright, I promise you, I'll make sure you have the strength to wipe out the Bloodthirsty Demon clan."

"I'm going too! My sister's brother is my brother."

"Yes, we'll all train diligently."

"I'll return to the academy tomorrow morning and come back in a few days. You don't need to train today."

"Yue'er, Qing'er isn't in the right state to train now. Stay with her and start again in a couple of days."

"Okay, I'll take good care of Sister Qing'er."

"Take Qing'er back to her room to rest. I won't say goodbye to you in the morning."

After Qing'er and Yue'er left the room, Huang Ye's thoughts were in turmoil. He tried several times to calm down but found it difficult.

In just two short months since his transmigration, he deeply felt that living another life wasn't about enjoyment but facing various dangers.

The mystery of his origins, the harsh environment, and the enigmatic world made every step he took extremely difficult.

Brother Xu's death brought him a greater sense of crisis and made him realize the cruelty of this world.

The Bloodthirsty Demon could speak human language, indicating it had high intelligence, far from an ordinary demon.

It chose to commit the crime outside the City Lord's mansion, surely with a purpose. With its strength, the city walls were practically useless.

This provocative act signaled the demons' audacity, and the once peaceful Silver Moon City was about to be engulfed in chaos.

Leaving the two girls at the City Lord's mansion wasn't a foolproof plan; making them stronger was the only way.

He also needed to find information on demons and monsters to understand their characteristics.

If he encountered a powerful demon, he needed to recognize it; otherwise, charging blindly would be suicidal.

Earlier, his heart was ablaze, even causing Qing'er to be pushed away, partly due to the unsatisfactory battle with the Bloodthirsty Demon today.

Although he won the fight, he held back and didn't unleash his full power.

Suppressing his inner fire might affect his cultivation, leaving him feeling uneasy.

He needed to find someone to vent this fire on.

After pacing around the courtyard a few times, he felt slightly better and returned indoors, finally able to calm his mind.

Cultivation must not stop; only with great strength could he afford to be angry.

He knew this well in his previous life: the bigger the boss, the bigger the temper.

After circulating his techniques once, he walked to the pine tree and extended his index finger.

He planned to release the wood elements using the Shangyang point. Previously, while practicing the Six Meridian Divine Sword, he could already emit spiritual energy from the acupoints of his ten fingers.

Now, he just needed to channel the wood elements separately.

The first attempt failed, as he still drew out mixed spiritual energy.

He continued to refine his control, carefully guiding the wood spiritual energy into the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming.

On the second attempt, a small stream of wood spiritual energy finally entered the meridian, and he quickly directed it towards the Shangyang point.

Finally, the wood spiritual energy, accompanied by mixed spiritual energy, burst out from the Shangyang point.

The wood spiritual energy reached the pine tree and immediately infused into it.

As the wood spiritual energy was injected, the pine tree trembled suddenly.

Then, it began to sprout new buds and the trunk thickened visibly, with the entire tree growing rapidly.

In just ten minutes, the pine tree, originally half a meter tall, grew to a meter high before gradually stopping.

Wow, the power of the wood spiritual energy was truly immense.

He hadn't expected this; he thought that a small amount of wood spiritual energy would only make the pine tree sprout some branches, but it actually doubled its size.

If he used it to grow rare medicinal herbs, wouldn't he be rich?

However, this dream shattered in moments.

Indeed, medicinal herbs aren't like pine trees; they're just ordinary trees found everywhere.

Pine trees have strong vitality, incomparable to rare medicinal herbs.

Some rare herbs can't even be artificially cultivated with modern agriculture.

Successfully channeling the wood spiritual energy this time benefited him greatly, deepening his understanding of the third layer of techniques.

Once all the elements were sorted out, his strength would reach a new height.

Seeing there was still some time before dawn, he pulled out the system's diagram and began to draw furiously.

He also wrote down the third layer of techniques, leaving a letter for the two girls to memorize.

After finishing all this, it was the darkest hour before dawn.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he quickly dashed to the wall.

Fortunately, there were no guards outside the wall, so he quickly climbed over.

On his way back to the academy, he encountered four patrols of guards, indicating the City Lord was truly furious this time.

The Bloodthirsty Demon committed a crime right at his doorstep, a blatant slap in the face.

Such obvious demons were easier to deal with, but those that could transform into human form were terrifying.

The first time he saw a beast that could transform into human form, it reminded him of the monsters in Journey to the West, which could take human form after cultivating for a certain number of years.

Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio also had many ghosts capable of transforming into human form.

Some demons and monsters weren't very powerful and could be dealt with by monks or Taoists skilled in magic.

It seemed this world was closer to the mythological legends of his homeland.

In the future, he also needed to be wary of monks; he didn't want to be taken by one and have a restrictive spell put on him, forcing him to accompany them on a journey for scriptures—that would be unfortunate.

In the morning, Huang Ye went straight to the hidden weapons class. Seeing him appear, Tang Xin's face lit up with joy, but it quickly turned to a glare as she shot him a fierce look.

Huang Ye pretended not to notice and just gave her a mischievous smile.

After class, he was naturally called to the back room.

The students were already numb to this phenomenon. Seeing Huang Ye go in, the lecture hall immediately quieted down.

Everyone perked up their ears, and a few bold ones even ran to the door, hoping to hear the delightful sounds from inside.

Huang Ye's head poked out from the inner room, facing these people directly.

"Whoosh!" They ran faster than rabbits; they couldn't afford to mess with the combination of a female tyrant and a little devil.

"You little rascal, you've been enjoying yourself these past few days, haven't you?"

"Not bad."

"Not bad, my foot! Couldn't you have come over first? Do you think I could have stopped you?"

"Did you hear about last night's incident?" Huang Ye didn't answer Tang Xin's question.

"I heard. I didn't expect the Bloodthirsty Demon to appear here too."

"Today, the academy dispatched several Martial Kings to assist in the search, and my father was also called in."

"I fought with that Bloodthirsty Demon last night."

"What!" Tang Xin stood up from her chair in shock.

She rushed over in a panic, directly touching Huang Ye all over.

You, you, you have some nerve! Don't you know men and women shouldn't touch? But he could only think this to himself.

"Are you, are you hurt?"

"Alright, stop touching. I got a small injury on my arm, but it's already bandaged."

Tang Xin quickly rolled up his sleeve.

Seeing it was bandaged neatly and his arm moved normally, she finally relaxed.

Watching her actions, Huang Ye felt a stir in his heart. He hadn't expected this female tyrant to care so much about him.

Could she really like me? Is it because I'm so outstanding?

Ah! Never try to guess a woman's thoughts...
