A night passed.

The morning sun rose, the mountain forest peaceful and serene.

Occasionally, the chirping of birds could be heard, crisp and pleasant.

The entire Wuliang Daoist Temple was utterly silent.

From a bird's eye view, the large Wuliang Daoist Temple was in disarray, the main gate shattered, walls collapsed, and every room showed signs of being ransacked, with not a single person in sight.

It was as if it had been raided by mountain bandits.

At this moment, two figures, faces filled with suspicion, stood tall on top of a structure within Wuliang Daoist Temple, looking down at the entire scene.

"Wuliang Daoist Temple has been annihilated? How could this be?"

An elderly man dressed in a snow-white robe, short and stout, spoke in disbelief.

"Strange!"

The thin, bamboo-like old man beside him spoke in a cold tone.

"Let's go over and take a look."

The short and stout elder said.

Swish! Swish!

Their body technique was mysterious, instantly flashing through the air, leaving heavy afterimages, and landing in the courtyard, sniffing the air lightly to discern the scent of blood as they searched.

Quickly, they discovered several corpses within the courtyard, halting their steps once more.

"This is Elder Qing Song, Elder Qing Song has been killed, and aside from him, there is... someone from the Kunshan Long Family!"

The short and stout elder's eyes half-closed, revealing shock.

Elder Qing Song, who lived to about one hundred and fifty, had extremely pure power, yet was killed?

Moreover, the young man from the Kunshan Long Family was no simple character, with noble family blood extremely rich, his blood dripping and scorching the ground with holes.

This is the Long Family's unique [Crimson Flame Blood], and someone capable of achieving such concentration is definitely not an ordinary person.

"This is the mark of a heavy weapon blow!"

The tall, thin elder spoke coldly, pointing to the corpse of Young Master Long.

"Indeed, it looks like... a Wolf Fang Club!"

The short and stout elder spoke in a deep tone.

"It's that Jiang Shi!"

The tall, thin elder's tone was icy.

Has Jiang Shi's strength reached such a powerful level?

He was actually able to kill Elder Qing Song and the Long Family heir.

"Interesting, very interesting indeed."

The short and stout elder's face showed a peculiar expression, "You and I came out for another mission, and also to handle the person who killed a member of the Zhang Family, but this person's performance has increasingly exceeded our expectations, though it's best to find someone to inquire, just to make sure there's no mistake before confirming anything."

"Indeed!"

The tall, thin elder spoke coldly.

Swish! Swish!

The two moved with body techniques like the wind again, bringing up heavy afterimages, swiftly disappearing from the scene.

···

One day later.

In another direction.

A relatively prosperous city, bustling with people, the sound of vendors hawking filled the air.

Rock City.

Despite the chaotic world, this city maintained its prosperity, which is indeed no small feat. Located at a crucial point in Fengzhou, land routes are extremely developed, with merchants and Jianghu figures traveling from north to south, east to west, almost all passing through this city.

This city is also the only one tightly controlled by the Fengzhou Army.

Thus, it could maintain relative prosperity in times of chaos, away from the disturbances of bandits and the Rebel Army.

At this moment.

In a room of an inn.

Jiang Shi exhaled a long breath, finally standing up from the red medicinal barrel, his entire body drenched, creating a series of splashing water sounds.

Since leaving Wuliang Daoist Temple that night, he rushed all the way, entering the city the next day, leasing a room, and began cultivating in hiding.

Now, a whole day had passed.

[Red Sun Divine Skill] was finally cultivated to the completion of the Third Realm.

Red Sun Divine Skill: Third Realm (Defense Enhancement Level 3, Power Rebound Level 1, Power Amplification 68%).

"Only a 68% power amplification, I thought it would at least reach 70%, what a pity, truly a pity."

Jiang Shi observed the panel in front of him, muttering to himself.

However, perhaps after merging a few more Hard Skills, the power amplification might increase again.

After all, he possessed the talent of [Enlightenment], intending to see where this cultivation technique's limits lie.

Can [Enlightenment] merge without limitation?

Soon, Jiang Shi's eyes flashed with a strange color, noticing the change ahead.

Defense Enhancement had upgraded from the previous Level 2 to Level 3.

Directly elevating a notch.

"Previously, my defense could already withstand a distant Sword Qi from Daoist Qing Song without injury. Now, wouldn't my defense be even stronger?"

Daoist Qing Song, at the initial stage of the Martial Saint Third Realm, executed [Super Grade Martial Arts], attacking from afar with over a dozen moves, only leaving a few red marks on his body.

If facing Daoist Qing Song now with this defense, wouldn't even the red marks definitely not remain?

Thinking about this, Jiang Shi couldn't help but smile again.

But now that [Red Sun Divine Skill] is smoothly perfected, it's time to begin cultivating that super grade martial art [Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill].

At the thought of this super grade martial art, his heart couldn't help but feel anticipation.

The various experiences during this period made his views on super grade martial arts constantly change, increasingly wanting to train in [Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill] to see the results.

Thinking of this, he immediately began to open the package, taking out medicinal materials to configure them one by one.

Half an hour later.

The medicinal water in the bath barrel had been completely changed.

Jiang Shi comfortably lay inside, closing his eyes, starting to cultivate [Barbarian Elephant Divine Skill].
