Logically speaking, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are all paths of human cultivation, and monsters cannot embark on them.
They can accept enlightenment from Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism and become demons, but it does not mean that they can read the meaning of scriptures, Taoism, and Buddhist scriptures. For example, Granny Jinchan from Fuyunfang and the ancestor of Xianhu Mountain from Xianhu Mountain are both great demons from the Taoist sect, but they still follow the path of demon cultivation.
However, there is a type of demon that can combine the cultivation of both demons and humans, and that is the half-demon born from the union of humans and demons.
Half-demon initially appears in the form of a demon clan. Among them, those with the gift of reading will awaken when they take on human form for the first time. If you are a naturally intelligent monster, such as a fox, ape, elephant, crane, etc., you can embark on the path of dual cultivation.
Double cultivators and half-demon, because they have the best of both worlds, if trained properly, are often more difficult to deal with than human or demons of the same level.
Looking at the half-demon in front of him, Tanqu's palms and soles grew long sharp claws.
"I've smelled a demonic aura on you for a long time. It turns out that you are really a half-demon."
Lu Nianfeng smiled faintly: "My father is a master of Taiping Academy, and my mother is a member of the Linglu Feng clan of the Northern Territory who was enshrined by the founder of the country. Does it matter whether she is half-demon or not?"
Tanqu snorted coldly and rushed towards Lu Nianfeng. Lu Nianfeng's figure shook and turned into three phantoms.
Spiritual Deer Magic·Shadow.
The greedy wolf's eyes narrowed and he sneered: "Your avatar has no use in front of me!"
As he spoke, Tan Qu had already pounced on Lu Nianfeng on the left. Lu Nianfeng looked like he was about to run away, but was not as quick as Tan Qu, and Tan Qu came directly to his side.
On the demon clan's seat, Bai Qingqing snorted coldly: "Idiot!"
At the same time, Chen Luo also heard Song Tuizhi's message: "Junior brother, please pay attention. This is the standard tactic used by Confucian scholars against demons and barbarians. It's just that the half-demon Confucian scholar on the stage used the talent of the demon clan to perform it on his own."
Chen Luo nodded and looked at the arena intently.
When Tan Qu was less than one step away from Lu Nianfeng, the panic on Lu Nianfeng's face disappeared, replaced by perseverance and calmness.
He opened his mouth slightly: Sleepy!
You are ordered to be imprisoned in the rock,
The rock is a rock.
The pine roots connect its feet,
Vines bound his elbows.
In an instant, pine roots sprouted from the ground and wrapped around Tanqu's feet. From the pine roots, vines shot out and wrapped around Tanqu's hands.
But Lu Nianfeng didn't pay the price. Tan Qu's head turned into a wolf's head, and he opened his mouth to bite it. Lu Nianfeng raised his hand, and Tan Qu grabbed it in his mouth.
"Trapped poems tend to be more powerful the closer they are." Song Tuizhi explained to Chen Luo, "And the wolf demon is very fast. Only by attracting it to your side can you have a chance to hit it with one blow."
Just when Lu Nianfeng was dripping with blood, the other two figures turned into two deer at the same time, lowered their heads, held the antlers, and rushed towards Tanqu like lightning. Tanqu couldn't break free and was hit in the waist by two deer.
A wolf demon with a copper head and an iron tail.
Tan Qu let out a scream, and his mouth was so fierce that you could almost hear him biting Lu Nianfeng's shoulder blade. Lu Nianfeng's expression remained unchanged, and with each thought in his mind, the two deer took two steps back and bumped into Tanqu again.
A trace of blood flashed in Tan Qu's eyes, and then his whole body was wrapped around his head. Almost instantly, it was visible to the naked eye that Tan Qu's body expanded rapidly, bursting through the clothes on his body, and the vines and pine roots that originally tightly bound Tan Qu were broken. In the blink of an eye, In the meantime, Tanqu transformed from a human form into a giant wolf nearly a foot long. He swung his tail from side to side and knocked down the two deer that were charging towards him.
Tan Qu opened his bloody mouth again and bit Lu Nianfeng's head. At this time, a demonic energy flew out from the demon clan's seat and hit Tan Qu. Tan Qu, who had become a giant wolf, turned around and found the person who had launched the attack. It is Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing looked directly into Tanqu's eyes, and the three colors of green, black, and white in his eyes were rotating. The blood in Tanlang's eyes gradually faded, and he slowly changed back to the young man he was before, but his clothes were completely damaged. .
At this time, Lu Nianfeng was half-kneeling on the ground with almost half of his body soaked in blood.
"Young Master Qingqing." A great scholar in charge of Linhuang Arena in Wenchang Pavilion stood up, "Young Master Tanqu should have broken through the blood refining realm, found the bloodline true spirit, and condensed the demon pill. This level of soul-seeking realm is enough to rival My Confucian master is in the realm of enlightenment, and by sending him to the ring, does it break the rules?"
"Bah!" Tan Qu spat out a mouthful of blood, "See clearly, I have the blood of a blood-violent wolf. When I transform into my original form, my demonic aura will surge. If I were in the spirit-seeking realm, I would have chewed the half-demon on the stage to pieces."
"Be greedy and don't be rude!" Bai Qingqing said, looking at Wen Xiang, "Wenchang Pavilion summoned the Confucian scholars of Taiping from Taiping Academy. Our demon clan sends demons with noble blood, which can be regarded as courtesy. In the end, it's not For the spirit demon world?”
"You..." The scholar was still arguing, but Wen Xiang waved his hand.
"There are some methods that are not used in the arena. I hope you can keep your promise."
Bai Qingqing did not answer, but saluted again.
"In this competition, the demon clan wins." Wen Xiang nodded and said calmly.
…
This is how the Linhuang League ended.
Compared with the climax of the literary competition, the martial arts competition seemed to end in a hurry.
Among the three Confucian scholars, except for Lu Nianfeng who made some counterattacks at the end, the other two could almost be said to be instant kills.
"Fourth Senior Brother, is there really no genius who can defeat the demon barbarian one-on-one?"
Chen Luo asked on the carriage back.
Song Tuizhi snorted: "Why not? If nothing else, I can find two or three people who come to the stage to fight with them among the disciples of my Zhulin lineage. When our senior brother was in the Confucian realm, I went to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters and 'picked up' a lot of monkey wine, and I gave them all to Master."
"Then why..."
"Show weakness!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"We, the human race, occupy the most fertile land on this continent, and we have the largest number. There was a Lin Emperor before us, and a Martial Emperor after us. Do you think the demon clan will be afraid of us?"
Chen Luo nodded.
"The national policy of this dynasty is to defend against monsters and fight against barbarians. That means we will not take a step back against the barbarians, but when it comes to monsters, prevention is our priority."
"Defense means military defense. For example, King Jing's lineage is stationed in the south. At the same time, other plans must also be supported."
"For example, getting married, giving them benefits, and showing weakness!"
"Let the demon clan sit back and watch us fight to the death with the barbarians, and they will not have the strength to go north and south like the Emperor Wu."
"This is how Yan Baichuan and his gang implemented a Jiazi policy. Now Zhou Zuofeng proposes to unite demons to fight against barbarians, which is a step further."
"He wants the demon clan to contribute people to help us fight against the barbarians. Of course, the benefits given up are countless."
"The martial arts competition is just a show of weakness."
After hearing this, Chen Luo frowned slightly, suddenly thought of something, and said, "What about my 'martial arts'?"
Song Tuizhi nodded and said, "I was just about to explain this to you. Although 'Martial Arts' is good, it takes time to develop. So for a long time, you may become a thorn in the eyes of the demon and barbarian tribes."
"You are the master of martial arts. If you die, martial arts will be without a master, and someone may steal it..."
"Although we are taking care of you, you still need to be careful, whether it is monsters, barbarians, or humans!"
Chen Luoning nodded. Song Tuizhi looked at Chen Luo's expression, smiled again, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, you still have seven senior brothers and sisters, and a master! The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. We not only have to drive three thousand miles, but also six thousand miles, nine thousand miles. Go forward indomitably and open a ten-thousand-mile road to the sky!"
Chen Luo nodded heavily: "Yes!"
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Chen Luo and Song Tuizhi swayed in the car. Chen Luo pulled the curtain: "Why... hmm?"
In front of Chen Luo's eyes, there was a sea of people outside the Earl's Mansion. When everyone saw Chen Luo's carriage, they rushed towards him like an overwhelming force——
"Literati - bah, Wan Anbo!"
