Chapter 152: Showcase of Advanced Demon Techniques

“You are very special.”

Those four short words were Lin Nuo’s answer and also a comment on Ling Meng.

With deep set eyes and a cold tone, he seemed like a lofty figure looking down from the peak, gazing down at the weak Ling Meng.

Indeed, as a past peak figure, he had the qualifications to evaluate her as a senior.

But for Ling Meng, this wasn’t an answer.

Or rather, it was akin to no answer at all.

Because how could such a vague statement qualify as an answer when someone had saved her because they deemed her special?

“What do you mean? I don’t understand. What exactly makes me special? I still can’t figure out the reason.”

“Simply put, I think you’re a person of exceptional talent.”

“Of course I know that! Didn’t you just mention it?”

“Yes, you are a good seed. I plan to cultivate you.”

“Cultivate me?”

Ling Meng found that absurd and looked down on him a bit.

“I know you’re strong enough to kill those Taoists and my subordinates, but to be blunt, you’re nowhere near the level required to cultivate me. I’m a practitioner of the demonic path, and as everyone knows, the Refining Demon Sect is the strongest sect in the world, with ample resources and talents for demonic cultivation. At my current rate of progress, I’ll definitely encounter powerful mentors who are qualified to cultivate me.”

“They’re not qualified to cultivate you.”

“You’re going too far! I’m not strong enough to say they’re unqualified to teach me, and neither are you. So tell me, what qualifications do you have to cultivate me? I practice demonic techniques, and if you’re going to teach me some other techniques or persuade me to abandon the demonic path, forget it.”

“I’m going to teach you demonic techniques,” Lin Nuo replied with a scoff.

Ling Meng found that even more absurd.

No matter how you looked at it, Wu Ying Ge didn’t have a solid foundation in demonic cultivation. When he had just saved her, he hadn’t used any demonic techniques; even his demon qi was very weak. Even in their previous fight, he used the rudimentary Demon Qi Wave, which was incredibly weak. It was just his agility that shined.

How could someone like him teach her? Wasn’t that a joke?

Ling Meng’s expression grew serious: “Young Master Wu, don’t make fun of me. There’s nowhere better for me to practice than the Refining Demon Sect. I’m very grateful for your saving me, but please don’t disparage the Refining Demon Sect casually. Thank you.”

“Heh, let me ask you, in your Refining Demon Sect, is anyone teaching you right now?”

“Currently, mainly my father is teaching me, but the Refining Demon Sect treasures talent. As my abilities improve, they will definitely arrange for master-level cultivators to teach me.”

“Do you have any techniques stronger than the Demon Qi Wave?”

“That…”

Ling Meng hesitated. Though she didn’t want to admit it, she wasn’t planning to hide the truth.

“For now, the strongest demonic technique I know is the Demon Qi Wave. I’m studying more advanced techniques, and I’m sure it won’t be long until…”

“Enough, don’t assume. I get it.”

Lin Nuo was already aware that she had only reached the level of the Demon Qi Wave. Although her wave could unleash devastating power, it wasn’t a high-level spirit technique, and its potential was too limited.

Noticing the two fallen Taoist corpses, Lin Nuo began to ponder.

He still had a magic crystal in his pocket, which could provide some Demon Soul Power, enabling him to exhibit a higher-level technique.

“Whether I have qualifications, you can take a look first.”

Lin Nuo walked over to one of the corpses and stopped.

Ling Meng was unclear on what he intended to do but thought he probably wouldn’t exhibit anything impressive.

Just watch and see what he can do.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Nuo extended his right hand towards the fallen corpse, transferring Demon Soul Power from his palm to the body.

In an instant, something astonishing happened.

The corpse stood up, and its limbs began to move!

“This, this…”

Ling Meng stared in shock; the body had clearly been lifeless, yet now it was standing…

No, this technique is…

Corpse Manipulation!

In her impression, only the top demonic masters of the Refining Demon Sect could use such a technique! How could he…

“Heh, did I just scare you with that?”

Lin Nuo chuckled coldly, raising his left hand and snapping his fingers.

In an instant, three black dragon souls erupted from behind him, each opening wide their massive mouths, looking exceptionally fierce.

Ling Meng was once again dumbfounded. Dark Dragon Souls; this was another high-level demonic technique!

Summoning one was already challenging, let alone summoning three—this was unbelievable!

His power could truly rival that of the Refining Demon Sect’s experts!

With both Corpse Manipulation and Dark Dragon Souls, he was wielding two advanced demonic techniques simultaneously!

Incredible! Absolutely incredible! How could someone who seemed to lack demonic roots pull this off?

“You, how is that possible…”

“Why wouldn’t it be possible? For me, that’s an easy task.”

“Easy… But you’re using techniques that only top disciples of the Refining Demon Sect can utilize…”

“I said I would teach you; it’s definitely not empty talk. I’m proficient in high-level demonic techniques.”

“Incredible… You clearly aren’t a disciple of the Refining Demon Sect; how did you manage to find the resources to cultivate demonic techniques…”

Ling Meng’s mind was in disarray. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand how he could do this without being part of the Refining Demon Sect…

“Your demon qi isn’t strong… By all logic, you shouldn’t be able to cultivate high-level demonic techniques… Furthermore, if you know everything, why hasn’t your name spread in the Refining Demon Sect or any other sect…?”

Lin Nuo: “…”

Oh boy, are you the question queen? So many inquiries! I’m about to crumble under pressure! Is it easy to show off with two advanced techniques at once?

Better wrap this up before I get worn out.

“Alright, I’ll just showcase a little; this ends here.”

Lin Nuo calmly withdrew his hand, and the standing corpse collapsed while the Dark Dragon Souls began to dissipate.

The magic crystal’s Demon Soul Power was nearly exhausted; he couldn’t assist himself anymore.

But that was enough; at least he’d put on a good show.

Corpse Manipulation and Dark Dragon Souls were indeed advanced demonic techniques, but Lin Nuo had used a bit of trickery. To use both normally would drain him, so he chose to selectively showcase them.

The manipulated corpse couldn’t really fight; it could only move a bit.

As for the Dark Dragon Souls, that was just three; the remaining two were mere illusions created by the Split Clone Technique to confuse Ling Meng.

And that one Dragon Soul, with that little Demon Soul Power, would barely even qualify to be present in real combat.

Those two techniques would have no real-world application; they were just for fooling an ignorant girl.

Like a complete con artist.

Lin Nuo asked calmly, “So, do I now have the qualifications?”

“This…”

Ling Meng found it hard to deny; using two demonic techniques simultaneously was already at a master-level standard.

But she still couldn’t wrap her head around it.

“You’d be better off saying I’m unqualified… But if you’re teaching me, you must want something in return, right?”

“If we’re talking benefits, then it’s…”

Lin Nuo stated with a serious face,

“The sense of achievement I’ll get from watching you succeed.”
