The lightning talisman was very powerful, but Zhang Yuan's cultivation level was one level lower than Xia Changqing's. Therefore, a single lightning talisman could not kill Xia Changqing directly, but only injured him.
Just as Xia Changqing was struck by the lightning talisman and hadn't even reacted, Zhang Yuan approached again, his moon sword piercing Xia Changqing's chest. Then, another lightning talisman exploded, ending Xia Changqing's life.
The sea returned to calm, and a gentle breeze ruffled Zhang Yuan's hair.
Once upon a time, he was a weak man who couldn't even kill a chicken, but now he has become a ruthless cultivator.
Why!
Zhang Yuan sighed for a moment, then picked up the things Xia Changqing had dropped on the ground.
A katana, a golden compass.
The compass was pulsating with spiritual energy, so it must also be a magical artifact. After putting the katana and the compass into his Qiankun bag, Zhang Yuan looked at the charred corpse struck by lightning. While marveling at the strength of a Golden Core cultivator's body, he used a fire talisman to completely burn the charred corpse to prevent it from being discovered.
After doing all this, Zhang Yuan shrank back guiltily and looked around.
This was a deserted beach, and with no one around, Zhang Yuan quickly left.
After leaving the beach where the battle took place, Zhang Yuan sent a message to Liu Mingchun and Zhou Jian, telling them not to come, as he had already dealt with the enemy.
During the battle, he noticed that the peach wood token of the enforcement team emitted a red light when it approached the gray-robed elder.
Therefore, this old man must have done a lot of bad things, so Zhang Yuan acted on behalf of Heaven to bring about justice.
The peach wood token records Zhang Yuan's merit points after joining the Heavenly Court's law enforcement team.
I earned 1 merit point for helping Zeng Xianli exorcise the fox demon, 4 merit points for killing the eagle demon in the Spirit Turtle Ruins, and 5 merit points for killing the gray-robed old man.
He now has a total of 10 points. He needs to accumulate 5 more points to become a full member and then exchange them for resources from the law enforcement team.
Liu Chunming replied with a message, which Zhang Yuan read carefully, his brows furrowing in dismay.
"This gray-robed old man is called Xia Changqing. He is a master from a family of cultivators in Rongcheng City."
The Xia family is quite powerful, and it is said that there is a Golden Core Realm expert in the family.
Brother Zhang Yuan, please be more careful in your future actions to prevent retaliation from the Xia family.
After reading the message, Zhang Yuan replied with a message thanking Liu Mingchun for telling him about the gray-robed old man's identity, and then returned to his dormitory with a heavy heart.
At midnight, most shops on both sides of the student street of Tongcheng University were closed, with only the neon lights of internet cafes emitting a soft glow in the night.
The student street was somewhat dimly lit, and there were few pedestrians on the street tonight, except for a girl wearing a red hat walking alone.
The girl's light footsteps echoed in the dark night.
call!
A cold wind blew by, making the night even colder.
The girl in the red hat tucked her neck into her collar and waited for the cold wind to blow before continuing to walk forward.
Just then, a person appeared in the middle of the street a few meters ahead, seemingly out of nowhere.
He was a tall and imposing man, standing with his back to the girl in the red hat, a lock of his long, black hair hanging down his back.
The man appeared silently and without warning, as if he had been blown in by the cold wind earlier.
The girl in the red hat was slender. When she saw the tall man who suddenly appeared on the street and blocked her way, she trembled and stopped in her tracks.
A man in white with long hair and a girl in a red hat stood like this for a minute on the student street at midnight.
The man in white with long hair spoke first:
"Why didn't you say goodbye before leaving the Dahang Mountains!"
The girl in the red hat didn't speak, but sighed softly.
The man in white asked again, "Do you have someone you like?"
The girl in the red hat paused for a moment, then shook her head: "Just take it as a fact!"
On the street, upon hearing this, the long-haired man in white, who was facing away from the girl in the red hat, trembled, his shoulders slumped, as if he had suffered a great blow.
"who is he?"
The girl in the red hat didn't say anything more, turned around and left the student street.
...
Zhang Yuan has had the katana and compass for over a week.
During this week, with the help of the Enlightenment Stone's calming and comprehension-enhancing effects, he studied and practiced the attack formations on the Spirit Turtle Battle Armor every day, and finally began to understand the secrets and arrangement methods of the attack formations.
Behind the school, a deserted hillside covered with jagged bluestone boulders.
After class, Zhang Yuan returned to the woods to practice setting up the formation.
Although he had grasped the method of setting up the attack formation, he was not yet proficient and needed to practice more.
Zhang Yuan stood on a flat piece of land, surrounded by dense trees and grass.
The moon sword, katana, and compass floated in the air, forming a peculiar triangle. Each of the three magical artifacts emitted its own light. Zhang Yuan communicated with the three artifacts through his spiritual power, causing them to resonate and form a field, which amplified his attack power within the field.
The stronger the soul of the person who sets up the formation, the deeper their understanding of the formation, and the more powerful the magical artifact used to set up the formation, the easier it is to attack the formation and the stronger the power generated!
With Zhang Yuan's current skill level, using the three magical artifacts—the Moon Sword, the Katana, and the Compass—to form an attack formation, he can increase his attack power by about 20-30% within the formation!
It's a pity that the katana and compass are of too low grade; otherwise, the power of this attack formation would be even stronger.
The attack lasted for about ten minutes before Zhang Yuan felt somewhat exhausted. He then removed the formation and put the three magical artifacts into his Qiankun bag.
After his soul resonated with the magical artifacts used to set up the formation, Zhang Yuan could store the three artifacts into his Qiankun bag with just a thought. Conversely, in battle, he could release them with a single thought to form an offensive formation, making them extremely convenient to use.
However, the attack formation consumes a great deal of spiritual energy, and with Zhang Yuan's current spiritual energy level, he can only use it for about ten minutes.
After retrieving the three magical artifacts into his Qiankun Bag, it was already dark. Zhang Yuan used his movement technique and arrived at the foot of the back mountain in a few breaths. Then, he casually blended into the crowd and left the back mountain.
...
Tonight is Zhang Yuan's roommate Fei Bo's birthday.
Although Zhang Yuan moved out of dormitory 301, he still had a good relationship with Fei Bo and Zhu Gan. Fei Bo invited Zhang Yuan to come over for a celebration that evening.
He booked a table at a newly opened trendy bar called Moonlight Bar on the student street and invited his roommates to celebrate his birthday together.
Zhang Yuan ate a simple dinner in the cafeteria, and when it was almost time, he headed straight for the back gate of the school.
Around 7:30, Fei Bo, Zhang Yuan, Zhu Gan, and Xie Feng from dormitory 301 arrived and headed to Moonlight Bar together.
Zhang Yuan was usually busy cultivating and had no recollection of when a new bar had opened on Student Street, so he followed behind Fei Bo.
The group chatted as they walked.
"Fatty, you've really gone all out this time! I heard that Moonlight Bar is very popular and it's hard to get a table."
Xie Feng said.
"Yes, I booked it a day in advance. Any later and there wouldn't have been any seats left!"
Fat Wave Channel.
Why is it so hard to get a reservation at this bar?
The bamboo pole remained unsolved.
There are a few small bars on the student street that cater specifically to students. When Zhugan was pursuing girls before, he took them there, and the business seemed to be just so-so.
"Can those run-down bars compare to Moonlight Bar?"
"The owner of Moonlight Bar, wow, she's amazing! Beautiful face, great figure, and she even does cosplay!"
Which guy wouldn't be impulsive and spend some money if he saw such a charming and beautiful girl?
"Yeah, I heard that many of the customers who come to their bar are perpetual single guys from school who can't find girlfriends, so they spend a little money to go to Moonlight Bar, order a drink or a beverage, watch the pretty proprietress all night, and then go back home to have some fun."
Xie Feng chuckled wickedly.
"Brother Feng, do you have experience? How do you know so much!"
"It's like a bamboo pole," he joked.
Xie Feng: "Get lost!"
"The Moonlight Bar not only has a young and beautiful owner, but the waitresses are also very pretty. I heard that they are female students from school working there temporarily."
If I'm lucky, I might be able to date one.
hey-hey!"
Fatty chuckled, his already small eyes narrowing into slits.
Zhang Yuan roughly understood that these guys weren't there to drink; they were there to see pretty girls!
Before long, they arrived at the student street, at the entrance of the Moonlight Bar, hidden in an alley.
