Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 5

[5. Chapter 5: Demonic Knife (Please recommend)]

“Gravity suit?”

Fang Xing was shocked.

In the interstellar era, adapting to different gravity is a compulsory course for warriors!
Gravity suits are a kind of equipment to assist in training, which can easily adjust the gravity of the warrior himself.

Moreover, this gravity acts on the whole body, penetrates deep into the cells, and is very even, which is better than any weight training!

But the price is also very beautiful…

“There is also a B-level martial art, the Devil’s Blade, which is the prerequisite for the A-level martial art, the Devil’s Blade. Gu Yun, who is at most fourteen years old, has already perfected the first realm and is about to break through the second realm. She is also learning the introductory B-level martial art…”

‘Why do I feel like a loser in comparison?’

He was speechless in his heart, but he didn’t dare to relax his hands. He waved the stick and blocked in front of him.

The next moment.

Whoosh!
A black shadow flashed by, as swift as a civet cat, and the wooden sword in his hand seemed to have a hint of magic, slashing across the air.

Bang!
Fang Xing only felt a huge force coming from his hand, and the wooden stick in his hand almost flew out, but it didn’t.

‘Blocked!’

“It’s not that I’m much stronger than Liu Wei, but that he’s wearing a gravity suit! His speed is much slower than before, and his strength is also…”

He had enlightenment in his heart.

“Kill! Kill, kill!”

There was no cuteness on Gu Yun’s little face. Instead, it was full of murderous intent. She wielded the magic knife again and chopped at Fang Xing. Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she had a blood feud with Fang Xing.

“The magic sword, it is indeed a magic sword… it has a strong killing intent.”

Fang Xing felt like he was a small boat sailing in a violent storm, and the boat and everyone on board might be destroyed and killed at any time.

The B-level martial arts – the magic sword, is originally a sword technique full of demonic meaning, which contains some hypnotic methods and spiritual cultivation, and is intended to bring out the full potential of the warrior.

The negative emotions and impacts brought about by this are also terrifying.

Without madness, there is no life!
It is said that the A-level martial arts ‘Ghost Sword’ is even more terrifying!
After all, this is a terrifying martial arts that can make low-level warriors face the evil gods’ followers, and it comes from the era of bloody battles between humans and alien races!

Suddenly, Fang Xing saw Gu Yun swinging the wooden sword in his hand, one after another, and the two sword shadows seemed to overlap, with double the power!
– Double sword!

‘No, I can’t stop it.’

The wooden stick in his hand flew out, and he saw Gu Yun chopping at him with a knife.

“Stop!”

At this moment, a deep voice was heard.

The wooden sword in Gu Yun’s hand fell in front of Fang Xing and was caught by a hand as white as jade.

“I failed to hold back in time. I failed again…”

Gu Yun seemed to come back to her senses from a trance. She gasped for breath and looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of her: “Dad…”

The middle-aged man was burly, at least 1.9 meters tall. He just shook his head when he heard it. “Don’t be discouraged, Xiao Yun’er. You’ve performed much better than last time… This ‘Demon Sword’ was a pure magic martial art in ancient times. It contained a demonic nature. Practitioners would definitely create a bloody storm, but now the secret has been cracked. It is to ‘get the sword and forget the sword’, defeat the enemy without killing, in order to tame the demonic nature… Only when you reach this level can you try to practice the ‘Ghost Sword’. Otherwise, you will either go insane or die from blood reversal…”

After saying this, the middle-aged man looked at Fang Xing and Liu Wei again and said, “Thank you for your hard work. Your salary will be doubled today!”

“Thank you, boss!”

When Liu Wei heard this, the pain in his body seemed to be less severe and he immediately smiled.

…

Half an hour later.

After leaving the brilliant Jiang Mansion, Liu Wei fell silent. After a long while, he cursed: “Damn it… If I had known it was this kind of sparring partner, I wouldn’t have come. Double salary is only enough for medical expenses… That person looks like a professional, but I didn’t expect him to be so stingy.”

Fang Xing, however, recalled the middle-aged man’s last words and shook his head: “In fact, he has compensation, which is the secret of practicing the magic sword… Natural families are good, and this kind of teaching by example is hard to find in school, unless you get the favor of Teacher Xia Long…”

“Fuck, I can see that the girl is using us as tools… She practices the magic knife technique, which is difficult to control, so she needs to sacrifice a living person to the knife. But once this kind of thing is done, it is like stepping into the abyss… The so-called getting the knife but forgetting the knife means that you have to use your own will to tame the devil in the magic knife, defeat us but not kill us, and leave room for us to fight back. Only in this way can you truly cultivate the magic knife… The girl’s father deliberately hid in the dark, just to control it at all times, to monitor whether the girl would hold back, and to stop her at the last moment…”

Liu Wei is not stupid either.

In other words, the cyborgs who can go to high school are basically elites. They can’t help but be amazed when they see something: “The magic sword is so difficult, what about the A-level martial arts ‘Ghost Sword’?”

“But we are just tools… at least we get paid.”

Fang Xing still had the golden finger, so he was not too depressed. He smiled and said, “They even gave me double the amount!”

With this money, at least the basic nano protective clothing can be ordered.

“Humph, this is what we paid for with our injuries…” Liu Wei rubbed his shoulders and continued to mutter: “I originally thought that those who lived in the brilliant Jiang Mansion were all wealthy people, but now it seems that they are just middle class…”

“Middle class is a false term. Do they have any industry? It’s more like middle-income people…” Fang Xing also complained: “From the fact that he arranged a martial artist career for his daughter, we know that this family is not rich…”

Those who are truly wealthy will just drive a mecha.

“Yes, yes, he is just a middle-income earner, but he thinks he is a rich man…” Liu Wei was very happy, and it seemed that his injuries had healed a lot.

…

Happy Home Community.

“You’re here so soon?”

Fang Xing looked at the express delivery at the door of his house and scratched his head: “I just placed the order on the way…”

He opened the door holding the express delivery. After scanning the identity verification, the express box opened automatically, revealing a silver-white metal ball.

Fang Xing pierced his fingertips, causing a drop of blood to fall onto the silver-white metal ball.

This is not “recognizing the master by dropping blood”, but letting the nano suit remember his DNA information.

Ding!
After a slight sound, Fang Xing followed the instructions and let the silver-white metal ball come into contact with the skin on his arm.

The silver-white metal ball ‘dissolved’ instantly, like liquid, covering his entire body.

“Well, it’s very light and breathable…”

Fang Xing moved around and found that there was no obstruction at all and the weight was very light.

“Mask mode!”

He shouted softly, and immediately put on a silver mask on his face, with even the eye sockets protected by a layer of transparent film.

“All-round protection without blind spots…color change! Rose gold!”

Under Fang Xing’s command, the nanosuit on his body instantly changed colors and finally stopped at snow-white.

“Normally at school, you don’t have to be so careful…”

He thought for a moment, and turned the nanosuit into a white short-sleeved shirt. He casually lay down on the chair and picked up the holographic glasses: “Let’s play! Let’s play!”

A few hours later…

“Ah… As expected…”

Fang Xing lay on the bed with a lazy and satisfied look on his face: “I’m addicted again… Even if I travel through time, if I don’t have the golden finger, I’ll still be that salted fish…”

Admitting one’s own ordinariness and incompetence is also a test that one must face in the process of growth.

Fang Xing knew very well that as a former nine-to-five office worker, he was not very good at history. Even if he traveled back to ancient times, the most likely outcome would be death due to language barriers, disease, famine, or war.

The situation in another world is even worse, which means that most of the experience and knowledge of the traveler will be invalid, especially in a world with advanced technology.

The only thing I can rely on is the golden finger.

If you don’t have a golden finger, you can only accept your fate step by step.

“Lying down… is also a kind of wisdom.”

Fang Xing looked at the time and forced himself to sleep. After all, he had classes tomorrow.

…

The next day.

Yucai High School.

The hot teacher Lan Fei said in a mellow voice: “…The evil god’s followers are divided into lower servants, upper servants, lower followers, upper followers… and between the upper followers and the rulers, there is another level, that is – the descendants of the evil god!”

“The descendants of evil gods are far more polluted and powerful than the higher-level followers. It is even rumored that the most powerful descendants of evil gods have power and authority close to that of lower-level rulers… However, the conditions for the birth of the descendants of evil gods are extremely strict, and their numbers are rare, so they are not considered a tribe…”

Fang Xing looked around and found it empty.

Liu Wei was injured and took a leave of absence for one class. He is currently receiving treatment in the school infirmary.

“The treatment room in the school’s infirmary can quickly repair even broken limbs… The key is that students get discounts. Liu Wei definitely doesn’t want to be treated outside…”

Fang Xing took notes while thinking.

Suddenly, he raised his head slightly and saw a pair of eyes looking at him.

‘Is it her, Bai Lianyi?’

Fang Xing saw a female classmate with delicate features looking at him thoughtfully.

The other person had fair and delicate skin, like a fine porcelain doll, and had the temperament of a beautiful girl next door. She was wearing a snow-white training suit with a black belt wrapped around her waist, which added a bit of dashing and capable feeling.

“It seems that I didn’t misjudge the person in the brilliant Jiang Mansion before… Is this because I feel guilty?”

As I was pondering, the get out of class finally ended.

As the environment changed, it would soon be time for Fang Xing’s desired martial arts class.

“Axing, I’m back!”

At this time, Liu Wei also jogged over, the acne on his face were jumping and bright red.

Any student can skip academic classes, but they certainly don’t want to miss martial arts classes.

A martial arts teacher like Xia Long charges at least 10,000 star dollars an hour for private lessons outside!

“Are you healed?”

Fang Xing glanced sideways.

“Of course…full of energy!” Liu Wei flexed his muscles.

The medical technology in the interstellar age is indeed not to be underestimated, and since his arm was not broken, he healed very quickly.

“Teacher Xia is here!”

Fang Xing wanted to say something when he saw Xia Long walk into the classroom. He looked around like a tiger and his voice was like a bell, booming: “Stand still first, then punch!”

“yes!”

All the students agreed and set up the dragon pole at the same time with a sense of uniform beauty.

Fang Xing concentrated on practicing the standing meditation and gradually forgot about himself and the world.

Suddenly, his spine seemed to be whipped, and his fur stood on end like a kitten whose tail was stepped on.

“Zhangong is too rigid, the Qi and blood at the third node of the spine need attention…”

Xia Long’s voice came to my ears.

Fang Xing followed subconsciously, and felt his skin tighten all over his body, and his skills became more profound.

He shuddered and looked at the attribute panel:
[Big Dragon Pile: 69/100 (Beginner)]

“Finally, I got some guidance from Teacher Xia. It turns out that guidance and no guidance are two completely different things…”
