Chapter 016: If Heaven Provokes Me, I Will Cut Down Heaven to Avert My Anger
Yang Chen opened his eyes, and a beautiful figure appeared in his mind. "Eagle Elder, do you have any news about Ling'er?" Yang Chen asked.
"It is said that the young lady plans to enter seclusion. She won't emerge until she breaks through to the Fighting Monarch level. Moreover, some say she intends to stay in seclusion for ten years," Eagle Mo explained.
"Seclusion, for ten years?" Suddenly, Yang Chen felt the last two words weighed heavily on him.
"Ten years? Ten years! Eagle Elder, I came to find you this time because I want you to help me select a group of elites from the Shadow Killing Pavilion to join my Yongbing team. I want to train a batch of promising assassins!"
Eagle Mo nodded and said, "Although I don't have high hopes for you, I will support you. Besides, the Pavilion Master has given orders that if we find your people, we must fulfill your requests at all costs!"
Yang Chen stood up and respectfully bowed to Eagle Mo, saying, "Thank you very much!"
"Follow me; I will gather all the members of the pavilion for you to choose from."
"Okay."
An hour later,
"Yang Chen, all the members of the pavilion are here; feel free to choose," Eagle Mo said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded and walked out slowly. "I believe Eagle Elder has informed you all about what I intend to do. Do any of you have something to say now?"
"Yang Chen" said casually. The others looked at "Eagle Mo," who nodded, and then someone spoke up, "You're 'Yang Chen,' right? I'm 'Lu Ying,' and I can be considered the big brother among this group. How do you plan to train us?"
"Yang Chen's" lazy gaze suddenly became sharp as he asked, "What is the most important thing in killing?"
"One strike must hit, and the target must die!" "Lu Ying" replied.
"Yang Chen" nodded and said, "People can miss, and horses can stumble. If a strike misses or the target does not die, what should be done?"
"Lu Ying" frowned and said, "One should retreat a thousand miles."
"This is what I want to teach you!" "Yang Chen" said confidently.
"Are you saying that your speed is faster than mine?" "Lu Ying" asked.
"Yang Chen" nodded and said, "You are all fresh blood in the pavilion, all here to gain experience, and your Fighting Spirit levels are below Duel King. So, if anyone at the Fighting Spirit stage can come out and exceed my speed, I will not mention training at all. How about that?"
"Yang Chen," "Eagle Mo" interrupted.
"Eagle Elder, don't worry, it's fine," "Yang Chen" replied confidently.
At this moment, "Lu Ying" glanced at "Eagle Mo," who hesitated for a moment before nodding again.
"Alright! Since you are so confident, let's have a competition. If you win, I 'Lu Ying' will willingly follow you from now on," "Lu Ying" said solemnly.
"Yang Chen" respectfully nodded and said, "Good. Since it’s a competition, we cannot use external aids. We will compete in speed without using any teleportation items. It will be about footwork and body technique. Do you have any objections?"
"That's very good."
"There's a tree a thousand meters away, and I've placed two Purple Gold Cards on it. Whoever retrieves them first wins. However, one thing: you are not allowed to attack each other during the process!" Ying Mo said.
"Of course!" both of them replied simultaneously.
"Three, two, one!"
As the words fell, both of them took off at the same time, turning into two afterimages.
"Who do you think will win?"
"Come on, a One Star fighter competing against a Five-Star spirit in speed? Have you ever seen a fighter faster than a spirit?"
"Who knows? I'm betting on Yang Chen."
"Ah, Senior Brother Tian Yi, are you saying..."
"That's right. I believe Yang Chen will return first. This person wouldn't challenge unless he was confident. Moreover, he has caught the attention of the Pavilion Master and the young lady, so he must have some shining qualities."
"Senior Brother Tian Yi makes a good point. Ah, someone is coming back; there's a figure ahead. Is it Senior Brother Lu Ying or Yang Chen?" As soon as the words were spoken, that figure stopped, followed closely by another figure that also came to a halt.
"Brother Yang Chen has excellent movement skills; I am ashamed to be compared," Lu Ying said solemnly.
"Brother Lu doesn't need to mind; this is just a competition. In the future, I will teach everyone this set of movement techniques," Yang Chen replied.
Then, Yang Chen glanced at the others and said, "Is there anyone among you who still has objections?"
The crowd fell silent, seemingly acknowledging Yang Chen's strength.
One person stepped forward, walked up to Yang Chen, bowed, and respectfully said, "Eagle Tianyi believes in the lady's judgment!" Eagle Mo nodded in admiration.
"Mm." Yang Chen helped Eagle Tianyi up and addressed the crowd again, "Is there anyone among you who still has objections?"
"No!" everyone replied in unison. At the gesture of Lu Ying and Eagle Tianyi, the crowd stood in formation, led by Lu Ying and Eagle Tianyi.
"From today on, I am your captain! The Shadow Kill Pavilion will eliminate everyone in the world. If heaven provokes me, I will cut down heaven to quell my anger! We shall be called the Heavenly Kill Squad! Do you understand?" Yang Chen declared arrogantly.
"Heavenly Kill Squad! Heavenly Kill Squad!"
After the crowd quieted down, Yang Chen looked at Lu Ying, who understood and stepped forward: "Report, Captain. The Heavenly Kill Squad is supposed to have 120 members, and we have 120 present. Please give your orders!"
Yang Chen nodded, signaling Lu Ying to return to the team. "I don't have much time for you. One month—within one month, everyone must master my set of footwork. In the future, when you carry out missions, you can delve into it slowly," Yang Chen said.
"Report, Captain. May I ask what level this footwork is?" one person stepped forward to inquire.
Yang Chen glanced at him lightly and replied, "There is no level; this was created by me during my battles with Demon Beasts. Return to your positions."
"Yes!" At that moment, everyone looked at Yang Chen with admiration; no one doubted him because they believed he had this capability.
Suddenly, a notification sounded: "Ding! Player Yang Chen has preliminarily completed the Supreme Path mission, mastering a squad of elite soldiers and unlocking the Teaching System."
“Teaching System: From the skills of the Demon God's son, one can choose to impart a skill. The skills available for selection are Deceptive Phantom Step, Deception, and Backstab Throat Kiss.” Yang Chen first ruled out Deception.
As an Assassin, the principle is to strike without missing and retreat thousands of miles away. There is no intention to engage in prolonged battles.
Faced with the choice between Deceptive Phantom Step and Backstab Throat Kiss, Yang Chen was momentarily unsure which to select.
“I ask you all, if I impart a skill that ignores the opponent's protective battle techniques, can you achieve a one-hit kill?” Yang Chen inquired.
“Yes!” Everyone showed excitement, including Lu Ying.
“Report, Captain. An Assassin excels at stealth. If we must break through the opponent's protective battle techniques, it can only be done through direct confrontation. If we can ignore the opponent's Protective Battle Qi, then…” Eagle Tianyi stepped forward to say.
Yang Chen nodded, observing that within the Heavenly Kill Squad, Lu Ying was focused on killing, while Eagle Tianyi, like his Grandfather Eagle Mo, was more strategic.
“Everyone sit cross-legged! I will use soul consciousness to impart skills to you; how much you can master depends on yourselves. Eagle Elder, come over as well?” Yang Chen said.
The method of soul transmission was merely an excuse for Yang Chen. The actual imparting of combat techniques was conducted by the invisible System.
The transmission of skills was quick, and just as fast in departure. In half an hour, Yang Chen had conveyed the usage techniques of Backstab Throat Kiss to everyone in the Heavenly Kill Squad, including Eagle Mo. At the same time, he also imparted Ghostly Step to them. Ghostly Step was a skill created by Yang Chen himself and was not counted among the imparted techniques.
