After browsing for a while, he quickly chose his target.
Cloud Dragon Rhythm. It would cost him ten minor merits.
From the merit points required to exchange, one could tell that this was a movement technique that was slightly better than Meltdown. The latter only required eight minor merits.
According to the description attached to the martial technique, once the Cloud Dragon Rhythm was used, one would be moving as fast as a dragon swimming in the sky. When cultivated to the highest depths, it could even let one rise more than 100 feet from the ground. One could also fly a thousand feet without relying on external objects. It was almost like they were using a flying spell!
From the description alone, this martial technique was much stronger than Shadows!
Therefore, Lin Shen exchanged for this martial technique without hesitation.
According to the rules, a Path-stage martial technique required the fusion of five martial techniques.
Therefore, apart from Cloud Dragon Rhythm and Shadows, Lin Shen chose three more movement techniques.
Moving Star Steps, two minor merits.
Golden Goose Technique, three minor merits.
No Trace, four minor merits.
After a round of exchange, Lin Shen only had n minor merits left.
After some thought, Lin Shen simply exchanged for three more palm techniques, preparing to use them to increase his Meltdown stage.
At this point, he had already used up all the minor merits he had.
After that, Lin Shen spent another 500 merit points to exchange for ten Prime Pills before leaving the Merit Hall.
As soon as he walked out of the Merit Hall, a paper crane flew over and slowly stopped in front of him.
Lin Shen raised his eyebrows and reached out to catch the paper crane. The paper soon unfolded, and Yang Zhongyi’s voice came from it, asking Lin Shen to meet him at the Night Dream Club.
Coincidentally, Lin Shen also wanted to ask about the war, so he was happy to go.
About half an hour later.
Lin Shen appeared at the entrance of the Night Dream Club.
What surprised him was that the number of guards at the entrance was clearly much more than the previous few times he came.
A large number of burly guards patrolled back and forth. Their sharp gazes swept past every passerby, not letting go of any suspicion.
Fortunately, Lin Shen could barely be considered a regular customer. The waiter at the door recognized him immediately and let him in without asking any questions.
Led by the waiter, Lin Shen arrived at the third floor.
It was the same private room. Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian were already waiting for him inside.
After the waiter left, Lin Shen immediately asked curiously about the nightclub.
“I’m not too sure about that either. It seems like the club was invaded a few days ago, and many guards were injured, so the security was increased.”
Yang Zhongyi shrugged and changed the topic.
“Let’s not talk about this. Lin, have you heard that Dragonside City is going to start a war with the three great demonic tribes?”
Lin Shen nodded slightly. “I just returned from the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range today.”
Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian were shocked.
“You encountered the demonic army of the three demonic tribes?”
“That’s right. The white-eyed spirit tigers and an Enlightenment Stage tiger demon. 1 almost didn’t make it back.” Lin Shen sighed.
Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian almost jumped up from their seats.
“Shit! You encountered an Enlightening Stage tiger demon? How did you manage to escape?”
Yang Zhongyi sized up Lin Shen a few times. Seeing that he didn’t look injured, he immediately had an extremely strange expression.
He didn’t suspect that Lin Shen was bragging. With his current reputation, there was really no need for him to do such a thing.
Moreover, Lin Shen wasn’t a vain person who liked to show off.
However, it only shocked Yang Zhongyi more.
That was an Enlightening Stage spiritual beast!
If a Long Breath Stage disciple encountered such a spiritual beast, they would basically die!
However, not only did Lin Shen successfully escape, but he also looked unscathed. How could they not be shocked?
Su Nian also stared at Lin Shen with a strange gaze as if he was looking at some unbelievable creature.
“I was just lucky.” Lin Shen waved his hand and changed the topic. “Yang, have you heard any news related to the war?”
Yang Zhongyi came back to his senses and nodded. “I’ve asked around. In this war with the three demonic tribes, the three great sects are each responsible for dealing with one tribe. The target of the Nine Suns Sect is the Tiger Tribe!
“Once the battle begins, the main force of the sect will charge straight into the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range to attack the Tiger Tribe’s lair. What our academy needs to do is to be responsible for eliminating the spiritual beasts of the Tiger Tribe at the periphery and clearing the obstacles for the main force of the sect to open up a path to the Tiger Tribe’s lair!”
This arrangement made Lin Shen and Su Nian heave a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing that they didn’t have to face the main force of the Tiger Tribe.
In fact, it made sense. Unless the Nine Suns Sect had lost their minds, it was impossible for them to get the academy’s disciples to attack the Tiger Tribe’s lair together. At most, the disciples would be sent to guard the periphery and clean up the small fries.
Of course, even if it was to clear out the minions, the mission was still a difficult one.
After all, the Ascension Stage or Enlightening Stage spiritual beasts were only minions compared to the cultivators of the Nine Suns Sect and the Tiger Tribe.
To the academy’s disciples, they were still difficult enemies!
“In addition, the academy’s arrangements have been made.”
Yang Zhongyi continued.
“When the time comes, the disciples will split into three teams. Each team will be led by two tutors and three upper-house disciples. They will start to clean up the beasts on the various mountains from different directions!”
“Doesn’t the upper house have ten leading disciples? Where’s the remaining one?” Su Nian asked curiously.
“You mean Senior Brother Shen Zening? He’s not with us. 1 heard that he’ll enter the depths of the mountain range with the main force of the sect,” Yang Zhongyi said.
Lin Shen’s expression changed.
He had heard of Shen Zening before.
He was the head of the Nine Yang Academy’s top ten disciples and came from a preeminent family.
For someone who wasn’t from a top family, he was able to firmly occupy the spot as the top disciple of the ten disciples of the upper house, he had to be extremely talented..
