After hearing this answer, the muscular man in black fell silent.

As an Adventer, he has been to many worlds and met many people, but there is only one person like this little girl who does not hide her greed that is comparable to original sin.

"How can someone so young have such strong negative emotions?"

The muscular man in black nodded, then shook his head, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Rather than reaching the ninth level at such a young age, he was more concerned about the other party's will.

After all, those geniuses are all very powerful at a young age, but their mental willpower cannot be honed by talent alone. It is related to a person's life and experience.

That little girl looks so young, yet she possesses such a malicious mental will. What on earth has she experienced?

"It's just greed, a normal human emotion. It's just that her greed is magnified countless times more than that of a normal person, making it a little distorted. But it's not really a negative emotion."

The middle-aged woman laughed, not caring at all.

She had seen even more twisted personalities before, so the twisted greed alone was not too surprising.

"There are no martial arts secrets in the bloody ruins..." The muscular man in black thought for a few seconds and couldn't help but say, "But that fragment of martial arts book, where did you get it? Aren't you afraid that she will find something wrong?"

"It's a martial arts secret method I got from the world of Gur. Only fragments exist. The one I gave her is a replica." The middle-aged woman shrugged. "Everything written in it is true, but there's no sequel. But since this girl didn't participate in the quest for the Dark Crimson Book, she's just an insignificant passerby, no better than a supporting role in the main quest. So even if she finds out, what impact will it have on us?"

If they had a name, they might have to be more cautious, lest they be accidentally tricked or killed by the other party. However, the threat level of a passerby without a name was naturally much smaller.

"But her strength should not be underestimated." The muscular man in black said, "Sparrow, we'd better be careful."

Their advantage is just that they have more intelligence information than the natives here, but it does not mean that they can crush the other side with their strength. It is normal to be killed by these natives.

"Of course I know." The middle-aged woman known as Sparrow shook her head. Then she glanced at the abandoned factory nearby and said, "We still have some time. Let's go find the next strong man."

After saying this, she did not delve into it any further. Instead, she took out a parchment map from her bosom. On it was a picture that looked like water waves. She stretched out her finger and lightly tapped it, and circles of ripples appeared on the map.

As the water rippled, a few tiny red dots appeared on the parchment.

This was the Noble Phantasm of the middle-aged woman, Sparrow, which possessed the ability to seek out strong opponents of the same level. Since the end of today's competition, they had been rushing to the door one by one, targeting several passersby with considerable strength.

Xu Xianxian is one of them, but the other people they found before were all Force users around the Void Realm, and only this little girl is a ninth-level martial artist.

And it just happened that he happened to see a fight when he followed over.

As for their actions, will they cause unnecessary trouble?

Of course not. First of all, they are looking for elders or strong people from small and medium-sized sects. Secondly, they both have legal identities on the surface.

Every time the descenders descend into a world, they will be assigned different identities by the Dark Red Book. This time, their identity is to be Lin Kongzhi's guest subordinates.

Lin Kongzhi, the Sixth Elder of the Zhenwu Dojo's provincial branch, had always been at odds with the provincial government. However, all of these descenders knew that Lin Kongzhi and the current governor's father had an irreconcilable feud, a feud that had annihilated their entire family.

They had even been preparing for more than a decade, just to annihilate all the participants in this school battle in one fell swoop, and then use a large amount of powerful flesh and blood to open the bloody ruins under Nanyun City.

By then, not only will the provincial capital cease to exist, but even tens of millions of people in the entire Nanyun City may be buried with it.

As the mission this time was to help Lin Kongzhi, the two of them naturally had the identity of Zhenwu Dojo. Even if the passers-by they approached might be suspicious, even if they were rejected, it would not cause any trouble for a while.

After all, Lin Kongzhi will start to attack all major schools in a few days.

In order to increase the success rate of this main mission, the middle-aged woman Sparrow and the muscular man in black naturally cast a wide net to catch more fish, hoping to win over more indigenous allies to increase the success rate of the mission.

The two then discussed for a few words, locked onto the red dot on the map, and began walking towards the city.

......

Inside the hotel suite.

It was late at night and the darkness was very dark. The curtains in the room were drawn, leaving only a tiny gap. The light moonlight slowly poured in and landed on Xu Xianxian's pale and cute face, making it look a little more weird.

She sat cross-legged on the bed. The loli Xiaoqing lying next to her was sleeping like a dead pig, lying on the pillow in a very unkempt manner, with saliva all over the bed and making a slight snoring sound.

Xu Xianxian had no time to complain about this, as she was completely focused on the ancient fragments in front of her. The martial arts fragments were already quite old, and she had flipped through them countless times, even starting to curl at the corners.

"Martial arts... can martial arts be like this...?"

Xu Xianxian stared at the pictures and notes on the page in front of her, her scarlet pupils glowing slightly, and she muttered to herself as if possessed.

Although she had only been exposed to the shuttle fist, she had also sparred with many martial artists and understood the core of the martial arts secrets: training the body to concentrate Dan Qi, ultimately achieving a state where Dan Qi and spirit merged into one. Dan Qi fused with the martial artist's spiritual will marked the seventh level.

But even in terms of theoretical knowledge, there is no information about what to do after level seven.

Xu Xianxian was able to reach the ninth level because of the hairpin's enhanced abilities, not through actual practice. She didn't understand the cultivation methods beyond the seventh level, but now, after reading this fragment of the secret technique, her knowledge and understanding of the martial arts has completely changed.

"The false mind gives rise to the Way... Once it is attached to all things, greed and desire arise..."

Xu Xianxian looked at the notes next to it. These were not the words of the secret method itself, but annotations added by the predecessors.

She just read it carefully and felt that it was full of ancient charm, unlike what people say today, and she didn't know which dynasty this ancient book came from.

The text of the secret method itself is a bit obscure and difficult to understand, but Xu Xianxian has received so many years of education that she can still basically understand it. Moreover, each page has pictures, meridian flow, acupuncture point locations, and detailed explanations of some hand seals and postures.

"This is an ancient secret method for concentrating one's spirit and pursuing transcendence in the martial arts." Xu Xianxian picked up the fragment, her small face showing a hint of fascination, but also a hint of regret. "It's a pity that this secret method only has the first part."
