Master's fist was heavy, unlike before; this time, Master did not hold back much.

This time, I need to truly face death. If I don't grow, there will only be greater dangers waiting for me.

I have never been a delicate girl; I have my own opinions and my own principles.

I felt more at ease knowing my master was serious. The opponent I was facing was a heinous cult member.

They kill without blinking an eye; they won't pity me, and they won't care whether I'm a man or a woman.

Therefore, what men can do, I must also be able to do, even if it costs me my life.

Although, once I took that step, there was no turning back.

My hands are stained with blood, and sometimes I dream of killing people. In my dreams, I am like an observer, watching everything I do.

But what choice do I have?

This seemingly harmonious society is actually rife with bloodshed and killing. People can even be made to disappear as long as their superiors approve.

I'd rather be punished by law, but I'm a law enforcement officer...

My master's fists kept coming down on me, with great force and weight. It was difficult for me to dodge, but I still managed to find the right moment to strike.

Gradually, I adapted to my master's rhythm, and I was able to see the incredible in his eyes. A fact that I had ignored myself surfaced at this moment.

That is, my growth rate in battle.

I can always adapt to attacks from those who are better than me.

Furthermore, I will break through the opponent's offensive in the shortest possible time.

These seem to be innate; I only need to think carefully to understand the details and break them down to find the best solution.

Just as Shi Jiu said, I might really not be an ordinary person...

After listening to Shi Jiu's words, for some reason, I became more confident. Thresholds that I once dared not cross could now be easily crossed.

I used to tell myself that it was unreasonable, that I was so weak, how could I possibly beat them, but I never actually tried.

Until I killed the Corpse Demon in my own way and then personally killed the Rat, I suddenly realized that these things that I once thought were impossible had become commonplace!

Sometimes, courage is our most powerful weapon, and the obstacles in our hearts are the real reasons that prevent us from becoming stronger.

My eyes became focused and sharp as I aimed for my master's dawn. My left hand transformed into a hand chop, and I thrust out with a straight arm. Seeing my wide and powerful movements, my master grabbed my wrist with one hand, then turned and elbowed me, aiming right at my armpit!

That was precisely the flaw I was trying to exploit. I twisted my body forcefully and, almost simultaneously, at extremely close range, dodged my master's elbow strike.

My master's attack missed, and his body lost momentum, but my arm was still twisted and dislocated. I didn't care about that and used the force from the twist to turn around and strike with my elbow again.

My master was momentarily stunned by inertia, and I charged up my power almost at the same time he released his force. He was in a vulnerable position when my attack reached his chest!

I unleashed a powerful force, pushing my master's strong figure away. At that moment, he released his grip on my hand.

I gritted my teeth, pressed down on my dislocated wrist, and snapped it back together. I even twisted it a little to get used to it.

Although I feel a little sore, it's nothing serious.

The master staggered back two steps, chuckled twice, and nodded:

"Not bad, to be able to retaliate in such a clever way, it seems I really have struck gold."

"Given time, you will surely surpass me, but the situation is urgent now, so we cannot be careless!"

After saying that, they attacked again, this time with even greater ferocity than before.

"I will no longer be timid and hesitant. Since there is no way out, I will break through the wall!"

I got into position, and this time I went to meet them head-on, no longer sitting idly by and waiting to be killed.

And so, after what seemed like an eternity, my master and I were both drenched in sweat and panting heavily, and that was when today's training finally came to an end.

With only a month left until Ghost Festival, the association still has a lot of preparations to make.

I haven't been home for a long time, and I'm planning to go back home to visit before the extermination operation begins.

Lately, I've been fighting one battle after another, and I've almost used up all the talismans I have. I plan to go back home and study advanced talismans properly.

If it's about dealing with ghosts and monsters, the most useful thing is the Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Thunder Talisman. Not long ago, I had already made a lot of progress on the Earthly Fiend Thunder Talisman, but it was delayed by various things.

Time is of the essence; I need to master the usage of some advanced spells within this month.

Since I'm being pushed along, I need to move faster.

Wu Shi will also be coming home with me this time. We're married now, so naturally we need to go back together.

Our married life is vastly different from others. We don't have sweet daily routines; instead, we support each other in times of crisis and offer warmth when one is helpless.

I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword, and being with my other half. Thinking about it, I can say that I'm actually living the life I once dreamed of.

However, no one knows how long this kind of life can last.

Wu Shi bought a lot of things, put them in the car, got into the driver's seat, and said to me:

"Xiaoxi, is there anything else that your parents like?"

"The preparations aren't very complete; won't it seem a bit abrupt?"
