The moment the demon king appeared, Chi Chen's eyes turned cold.
Because that ugly face was etched deep in his memory; it was a nightmare he dreamed of almost every day and night.
"die!"
Almost instantly, the Battle Saint Intent was activated, the domain unfolded, and the long sword at his waist was tightly gripped in Chi Chen's hand.
Then, in the darkness, a face filled with arrogance and anger suddenly appeared in front of the Ghost-Faced Demon King.
As the long sword fell, its blade flashed; Chi Chen showed no mercy from the moment he made his move!
"Gah!"
The demon king with the ghostly face let out a strange cry and charged towards Chi Chen without hesitation.
The sharp, long limbs clashed with the long sword in Chi Chen's hand, sparks flying through the air and reflecting off Chi Chen's ferocious face.
The Ghost-Faced Demon King blocked Chi Chen's long sword with his two long limbs, but his entire body was violently pushed backward by Chi Chen's terrifying power, and he crashed straight into a large tree.
"Bang!"
As the demon king's body collided with the trees, its other two long limbs also bent at one joint and went down towards Chi Chen's head.
If Chi Chen were to be stabbed by that long limb, he would surely end up with his brains splattered everywhere.
But Chi Chen's expression did not change at all when faced with the two long limbs that came at lightning speed. He drew a pistol from his waist with his other hand, which was originally free.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two fiery snakes shot out, and two bullets struck the two forelimbs accurately and quickly, successfully deflecting their descent slightly so that they fell just below Chi Chen's shoulders.
At the same time, Chi Chen suddenly pushed off the soil and pressed down hard again with the knife in his hand.
"Pfft!"
The blade slashed smoothly into the body of the Ghost-Faced Demon King, producing a sound that pleased Chi Chen.
"Holy crap! No way, what is that kid's forbidden ability? It's too powerful! Even a mystical being of the same level as him might not last three minutes against him. Damn it, I need to increase the mental power output here!"
Chi Chen and Lin Bai's performance made the two men in black exclaim "Holy crap!" several times. If they couldn't even handle these three newcomers today, how the hell would they be able to serve as instructors in the future?
If the other guys find out when I go back, they'll laugh me to death.
"Thankfully, the one on the other side wasn't as freakish!"
The two then looked at Xiang Ming in another virtual realm.
At this moment, there was a ghost flying around in the air in front of Xiang Ming, constantly attacking him. Xiang Ming successfully resisted this sudden and strange phenomenon by relying on the Night Ghost and his own good fighting ability.
In fact, Xiang Ming's performance was not bad at all; in fact, it could be said to be quite excellent. But unfortunately, he ended up with two young geniuses, Chi Chen and Lin Bai.
Compared to Lin Bai, who possessed the destructive power of forbidden annihilation, and Chi Chen, who relied on divine prohibitions to achieve physical salvation, Xiang Ming's performance seemed less dazzling.
"Hmm? Why has its attack speed suddenly slowed down? And its strength has also decreased?"
Xiang Ming, who was on the defensive, sensed the speed and power of the ghost and was slightly puzzled.
This was naturally because Chi Chen's side was simply too fierce, forcing the man in black to continuously increase his strength towards Chi Chen's side.
Beneath the eerie red moon, deep within the forest, in three illusory realms.
One area was relatively stable, but in the middle, there were occasional pig-like screams and huge explosions, which made the black-clad man maintaining the virtual world's head ache.
The last thing caused another person to break out in a cold sweat, and the look of shock on their face grew increasingly intense.
"What the hell kind of monster is this kid? I've already raised that Ghost-Faced Demon King's cultivation level to the Solid Mirror Realm, how is he still chasing after the Ghost-Faced Demon King and hacking away at it?!"
The two dark figures exchanged a glance, both looking like they were about to cry. Why did they have to run into these two freaks?
...
This scene is just one of more than a hundred such instances in the mountains tonight.
The sounds of fighting could be heard from every corner of these mountains.
This was the first gift the instructors prepared for these new recruits. Yes, in fact, their new recruit training had already begun the moment Chi Chen and the others saw this mountain in the far distance.
...
After an unknown amount of time, the night faded, and the east gradually turned a pale white, as the first rays of morning sunlight shone into the forest.
Chi Chen looked haggard, holding a long sword, and once again slashed down a ghost in front of him.
Yes, after Chi Chen killed the first Ghost-Faced Demon King last night, before he could even rest for a few minutes, another strange and mysterious creature appeared. Its cultivation level was also at the early stage of the Solid Mirror Realm. It fought with Chi Chen for about half an hour before being successfully slain by Chi Chen's blade.
Then, whenever Chi Chen had just recovered some of his mental strength, another mysterious creature would appear, and then even more bizarre creatures would appear before him, such as a horse with a monkey's head, a crawling monster covered in blood, and a woman in red with flowing hair and embroidered shoes. They would appear one after another, draining him dry time and time again.
Chi Chen swore that he had seen more strange things in that one night than he had in the past eighteen years.
This was Chi Chen's experience that night; he felt as if he were being targeted by these mysterious forces.
"Is such a monster really going to be used in this new recruit training camp?"
On the tree trunk, two figures looked at Chi Chen below, their faces blank with numbness.
They were completely numb. Last night was the biggest setback they had ever experienced since they started working as instructors.
The boy at my feet had persevered for an entire night, and he had been fighting a mysterious battle between the Radiant Realm and the Solid Mirror Realm for the whole night.
In one night, a full fifty mysterious creatures were physically exorcised by that kid!
The swordsmanship, the spearmanship, the speed and power of the attack—all of these left the two of them in awe.
"That's enough! We're done playing! Release Lin Bai and Xiang Ming now!"
Chi Chen slayed the last of the ghosts, planted his longsword directly in the ground, and then sat down on the ground with a thud.
After a night of fighting, how could Chi Chen not see the clues? The opponent was clearly not after his life, otherwise they wouldn't have only released the mystery at exactly the limit of his combat power each time.
Moreover, it also gives me some time to recover. This is clearly the work of those people from the Secret Bureau!
Perhaps they wanted to give these newcomers a hard time?
However, Chi Chen was also stubborn. After thinking it through, he knew that Lin Bai and Xiang Ming were definitely not in danger, so he stubbornly held on until now before finally raising his hands to surrender.
It wasn't that Chi Chen didn't want to fight anymore, it was just that Chi Chen felt he was about to give up, and Lin Bai and Xiang Ming were probably also close to their limits. If he gave up now, he wouldn't let them laugh at him, right?
Although the three of them have a good relationship, they still inevitably have some of that youthful mentality, wanting to compete and see who is better.
"Alright, go down. This kid finally gave in! We've both saved face!"
Upon seeing this, the two exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Did they really save face?
What face is left now? The rest of the places should have finished by now, right?
The illusory realm dissipated, and the mysterious corpses that had piled up overnight on the ground vanished like smoke.
Two figures, one carrying another under his arm, leaped down from the tree trunk and landed steadily in front of Chi Chen.
Chi Chen looked up at the two figures, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short. They were the culprits who had caused him a night of suffering.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Have you had breakfast?"
Lin Bai rubbed his eyes, waking up from his dream, with a few traces of drool still on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmm? Chi Chen's finished? It's still more comfortable sleeping on the Simmons mattress at home!"
On the other side, Xiang Ming also yawned, freeing himself from under the tall man's armpit, stretching, and muttering something under his breath.
Upon seeing this, Chi Chen's face darkened. Had these two slept together all night?
So he was the only one who played all night?
Is this even allowed to be treated differently?
On what grounds?
Do outstanding people always have to endure more pain?
"Hey, Chi Chen, why the long face? Don't you just love waving a knife around and hacking away? This is perfect for you."
Lin Bai squatted down and said with a grin, showing no shame whatsoever for a traitor.
Chi Chen slapped Lin Bai's hand away in disgust, looking like he didn't want to talk to him, and also gave Xiang Ming a disdainful look.
Xiang Ming scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. Actually, he was mainly worried that Chi Chen would be unwilling to let him rely on him anymore because of this.
Last night, Xiang Ming and Lin Bai were released from the virtual world after only experiencing two or three ghosts. Two instructors explained the situation to them while they were still confused, and then the four of them squatted on a tree trunk to watch Chi Chen's performance.
After Lin Bai and Xiang Ming got tired of watching, they actually chose to fall asleep on the spot.
This action surprised the two instructors, who wondered if they were friends or not.
Only now did they understand why the two trusted Chi Chen.
Because he's cheating! This kid has cheating abilities! And it's a really super powerful one!
