MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 1 [001] Proficiency panel
Chapter 1 [001] Proficiency Panel
"The Seventh Team of the Bronze Leopards is back!"
The gate made of copper and iron slowly opened, and a group of dusty riders rode in from the outside.
They were dressed in black-silver chain mail, carrying goose quilled knives, and half-covered iron masks on their faces, which made them look majestic.
On the school grounds on both sides of the , more than a hundred commoner youths who were practicing martial arts stopped when they heard the shouts, and cast their burning gazes at the team of riders, their eyes full of admiration and desire.
"Several adults went out to slay monsters and came back. I think this time they did a great job and killed a lot of evil spirits."
"I really hope that one day I will be able to join the Fumo Division, eradicate evil spirits, and help the world."
"I've been training hard in the championship camp for many years. That's not what I'm doing, let's keep practicing. One day adults will notice our efforts."
Just as everyone was talking about it, not far away, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and a face like a crown of jade was still standing in front of the stake to practice boxing.
His eyes never looked at other places from beginning to end, and he was very focused.
It has been a year since he came to this world. Thanks to the blessing of his predecessor, Ning Xiu has become accustomed to his identity and recognizes the current situation of the world.
More than five hundred years ago, evil spirits suddenly appeared in various places, causing chaos in the world, poisoning the people, and making life difficult for the people of the world.
Later, the imperial court set up a special department for subduing demons, recruiting strange people from all over the world, Buddhist monks, and monks, and working together to slay demons and subdue demons, the world just improved slightly.
But the risk of fighting against evil spirits is unpredictable, and the Fumo Division often sacrifices people to add new blood and make up for the manpower.
Fu Mosi opened a championship camp under its banner, recruiting teenagers and girls from ten to fourteen years old, and unified training.
When someone reaches the age of 18, they can participate in the selection in the camp. If the apprentice age is not yet reached, but the performance is too good, far exceeding the selection criteria, they will also receive a selection invitation in advance.
Those who pass will officially join the Fumo Division, and those who are not selected will be assigned to serve in various state capitals and county offices.
Although these people can't become the Fu Mowei of the Fu Mo Division, they still have the purpose of defending the people and investigating evil spirits.
Skilled at the stake and finished a set of boxing techniques taught by the instructor, Ning Xiu drew back his strength and slowly let out a sigh of relief.
【Yuanyang Fist, Proficiency +1】
As the voice sounded in his mind, Ning Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and a translucent panel slowly appeared in front of him.
…
【Yuanyang Fist: Four Layers (599/800)】
【Golden Bell Cover: Three Layers (211/400)】
…
When he first crossed a year ago, Ning Xiu found that he had a proficiency panel.
As long as he works hard in any kung fu and martial arts, he will continue to increase his proficiency, so that he can get started quickly or even make breakthroughs.
Over the past year, he has been diligent and diligent. Every day, regardless of the wind and rain, he will go to the school grounds to practice the boxing and horizontal kung fu taught by the coach of the champion camp more than ten times.
He will never go back to the house to rest until he is exhausted. His level of diligence and training is so strong that no one in the entire championship camp can compare with him.
It is because of this diligence that Ning Xiu is particularly favored by the coaches in the camp.
As long as he is a few years older, and after two more years of martial arts, to polish his temperament, he will recommend Ning Xiu with the Fumo Division, and strive for a chance to join the Fumo Division.
"Ning Xiu, Lord Fu Mowei has come back safely after slashing monsters outside. It's too majestic, why don't you go take a look."
Just as Ning Xiu was about to do another set of Yuanyang Fist, a dark-skinned teenager ran up to him and said excitedly.
This person's name is He Yunlang. He is Ning Xiu's friend in the champion camp. He is two years older than Ning Xiu.
Counting his age, he seems to be able to participate in the selection of Fu Mosi this year.
"See what's the use, why don't you hurry up and hit a few more sets of punches." Ning Xiu looked at the stake and said seriously.
Hard to persevere for a year, rain or shine, Ning Xiu spent a lot of energy and time, and only then did Yuanyang Boxing reach the fourth level.
And the horizontal practice of the golden bell is more difficult to get started, and it only reaches the third level after a year.
If you join the Fumo Division at this level, you want to kill demons and demons, which is tantamount to asking for a dead end.
No matter if he can join the Fumo Division on the day he was selected at the age of eighteen, Ning Xiu wanted to try his best to train Yuanyang Boxing to the top level, so it was very important to hurry up.
"You have been practicing boxing every day for the past year. This Yuanyang boxing has long been familiar to you and has been remembered in your heart. What are you doing with it? Why don't you try the stick and palm techniques, which can show you There are many means, and in the future, I can also add some chips that Lord Fu Mowei takes a fancy to when you participate in the selection." He Yunlang said.
Ning Xiu said with a smile, "You can't chew more than you can chew. Specialization is the best policy. You don't understand."
Yuanyang Boxing is just a popular boxing technique in the champion camp, and everyone can learn it.
According to the coach in the camp, this boxing method was created by a martial artist of the fifth rank of martial arts in Dashang, and the practitioner can enhance their blood and strengthen their physique.
Although it is not a boxing method specially used for actual combat, it has the wonderful effect of starting a martial artist, polishing the foundation, and strengthening the body and nourishing blood.
After practicing boxing for a year, Ning Xiu has never suffered from any major or small illness. He is full of energy every day, and his hands and feet are strong. Therefore, he attaches great importance to this Yuanyang Boxing, which is a martial art that he focuses on.
Looking at the entire champion camp, among the apprentices, when it comes to the attainment of Yuanyang Boxing, Ning Xiu said that the second, no one dared to be the first. Also an oddball.
"You specialize in Yuanyang Quan, and you practice horizontal kung fu. You don't touch any other martial arts. You are the number one weirdo since the establishment of the Champion Camp." He Yunlang shook his head and sighed.
Just as the two were chatting, the martial arts instructor who was in charge of managing the school ground suddenly strode over from a distance.
Seeing his very serious expression, it was obvious that something special happened. The apprentices, who were still discussing the prestige of the Demon Commander, suddenly shut up and waited quietly for the martial instructor to announce something important.
"The person who reported the name came with me, and the others continued to practice, Ning Xiu, He Yunlang, Li Chang, Su Lanzhu, Wang Bing..."
read more than 30 names, and then the martial arts head stopped talking.
Hearing the names of himself and He Yunlang being mentioned, Ning Xiu walked out of the crowd immediately. The champion camp has always been managed in the way of an army. The trainer is the biggest here, and everything just needs to follow the trainer's orders.
With more than 30 apprentices named by himself, the martial arts instructor immediately left the school grounds.
The remaining group of apprentices looked at each other with very puzzled expressions.
"Where is the instructor taking them? You won't let them participate in the selection."
"No, among the people whose names were named just now, many of them are under 18 and have not yet reached the age for selection."
"I'll ask them in detail when they come back."
…
In the tent, a middle-aged man wearing black silver chain mail sat on the first seat.
When Ning Xiu and his party walked into the camp and saw this person, their faces were all shocked.
Mysterious silver chainmail, only people from the Fumo Division in the entire Shang Dynasty can wear it. Today, a Fumowei came to the champion camp. Could it be that the selection is really going to start?
"Meet Lord Fu Mowei." Everyone cupped their hands and said.
"There's no need for false gifts. I'm not here today for selection, but because there is a lack of manpower in Demon Suppression Prison recently. I have to select a group of apprentices from the champion camp to help. If you can persist there for a while, you can go directly to Included in the roster of the Fumo Division, there is no need to participate in the selection."
"Suppressing the Demon Prison?" Ning Xiu looked at the martial instructor standing next to him strangely, but he had never heard of this place.
The real name of the martial arts instructor is Wu Yan. He used to be the Iron Horse Demon Commander of the Demon Demon Division. Later, he was injured by evil spirits during an operation to slay demons and could not continue to serve. Only then did he retire from Fu Mosi in advance and came to the champion camp to become a coach.
Presumably he should know about the Demon Suppression Prison.
"The Demon Suppression Prison is a place specially used by the Fumo Division to detain the evil spirits. Recently, the number of evil spirits near Chaotiandu has increased greatly, and many have been arrested, but there are too few prison guards, so we need to send more people. You and this adult go to the town. The demon prison helps, if you can persevere, you can directly join the Fumo Division in the future, which can save a lot of time." Wu Yan explained.
The apprentices who were named by him today are all the seedlings he is very optimistic about on weekdays.
This time, it is rare for the Fumo Division to come to the champion camp. This kind of opportunity to brush his face in front of the Fumowei is rare. Wu Yan chose to push Ning Xiu out.
"Yes!"
Being able to do things for Fu Mo Si is the dream of all apprentices in the championship camp. At this time, a Fu Mo Wei came to ask for someone in person, and naturally no one would refuse.
Seeing that more than 30 people had arrived in front of him, Fu Mowei stopped staying, got up and took Ning Xiu and his party out of the championship camp and went directly to the headquarters of Fumo Division.
The headquarters of Fumo Division was set up in the capital of the big merchants, "Chaotian Capital", and it was not far from the champion camp.
What Ning Xiu never imagined was that the Demon Suppression Prison was actually located underground in Chaotiandu, a place where the sun was completely invisible.
followed the demon subduing captain all the way down the thousand-story stairs, passed through dozens of gates weighing thousands of pounds, and the group arrived at the entrance of the town demon prison.
The gate here is in the shape of a cast-iron tiger's mouth. An iron plaque with the word "Zhen Yao" hangs on the door. It is only illuminated by torches and oil lamps, and the atmosphere is extremely gloomy.
"Come in, someone will arrange for you to do things, and when you get through this period of time seriously, I will personally bring you to join the Fumo Division." Standing outside the Hukou Gate, Fu Mowei didn't mean to enter the interior, but Said to Ning Xiu and the others.
"Thank you sir."
Everyone had no choice but to do as they were. When they said goodbye to Fu Mowei and walked into the Demon Suppression Prison, He Yunlang immediately walked up to Ning Xiu and said excitedly, "I didn't expect that I would be able to work for Fu Mo Sect this time, and I also got in touch with Demon Suppression. The existence that outsiders such as prison do not know, Ning Xiu, it seems that this time we are not far from the time when we become the subjugator."
"Be careful, all the people locked in the Demon Suppression Prison are evil, and the means of harming others are unimaginable. Don't be too happy too soon." Ning Xiu said in a low voice.
In the champion camp, apart from practicing basic boxing techniques, the most common thing Ning Xiu does is to read the books in the camp.
It records a lot of things about evil spirits. For example, there is a kind of evil spirit called 'nightmare', which can kill people in a dream, and the means are silent and difficult to detect.
There is a kind of evil called 'ghost ghost', which is transformed by the souls of people eaten by tigers. They will become servants of tigers, tricking innocent passers-by into taking the bait and causing them to be eaten by tigers.
There is a kind of evil called 'night cry child', which is transformed after the death of a premature child. It looks like a child. It often appears at night. will be seriously ill.
It was precisely because he had read the introduction in the book that Ning Xiu did not act as excited as He Yunlang, but was very cautious.
This time, it may not be as simple as they thought.
As soon as he entered the Demon Suppression Prison, a big man dressed as a jailer came over, and after looking at Ning Xiu and the others, he said aloud, "You are all here to help, from the seventeenth to one hundred and thirty in the yellow district. Cell No. 2, each of you can choose a random one, you only need to execute the evil spirits in the cell, and you can rest today after you are done."
