“What happened?”

The disciple looked around in confusion, not understanding why everyone was looking at him strangely.

It wasn’t until a good friend ran up to his ear and whispered a few words that the disciple looked at Lin Shen in disbelief. Then, his face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and walked away.

At this moment, the news that Lin Shen had mastered a Path-stage martial technique and killed an Enlightening Stage white-eyed tiger demon had already quickly spread in the crowd.

Instantly, countless gazes of surprise, shock, and admiration focused on Lin Shen.

Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian also found out what had happened. While they were shocked, they didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Lin Shen was indeed Lin Shen. No matter where he went, he could always create shocking news.

In the crowd, Yan Jingren took a long look at Lin Shen and turned to leave.

Lin Shen didn’t stay any longer. Before the people who wanted to get close to him surrounded him, he left the scene with Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian.

After returning to the Nine Yang Academy, Lin Shen didn’t return to the wooden building immediately. Instead, he rushed straight to the Merit Hall.

In the last three days of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, although he didn’t kill many spiritual beasts, his clones cultivated day and night, allowing his Moving Star Steps to reach Perfection.

After the fusion, Cloud Dragon Rhythm had already reached 75% Perfection.

Once his Traceless Snow Steps reached Perfection, the Cloud Dragon Rhythm would advance to Path.

Arriving at the Merit Hall, Lin Shen first went to the Mission Hall to exchange the tokens for merit points.

The person on duty today wasn’t Jiao Yu, but an unfamiliar girl.

Seeing Lin Shen take out nine merit tokens, eight of which were full, the girl was dumbfounded.

This was the first time she had seen a Long Breath Stage disciple exchange so many tokens for merit points!

Fortunately, she quickly recognized that the person was the academy’s most popular disciple, Lin Shen. Hence, she suppressed the shock and quickly registered the tokens for him.

A moment later, he obtained 173 minor merits!

Lin Shen then arrived at the Exchange Hall.

Opening the martial arts exchange list, his gaze first landed on the sword technique.

Apart from palm techniques, Physical Enhancement techniques, and movement techniques, he also planned to cultivate a weapon-type Path-stage martial technique.

With the Perfection Supreme Yang Swordplay, sword techniques were undoubtedly the first choice.

“However, the level of the Supreme Yang Swordplay is a little low. It’s only on the same level as Shadows. It’s not suitable to be the main body of the fusion martial technique. It’s best to choose a more powerful sword technique!”

Lin Shen suddenly thought of the Nine Divine Sun Sword that Jiang Hao had used to kill the black-spotted tiger demon.

That seemed to be a good sword technique.

He immediately looked at the list and quickly found his target.

Nine Divine Sun Sword, 12 minor merits.

“It requires more merit points than Meltdown!”

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise, then he was overjoyed.

The more merit points it cost, the stronger this sword technique would be!

Furthermore, Lin Shen had seen the power of the Nine Divine Sun Sword after it had reached Path.

Jiang Hao could already heavily injure an Enlightening Stage tiger demon with just three suns. If he cultivated nine suns, he would probably be able to instantly kill an Enlightening Stage white-eyed tiger demon.

Thinking of this, Lin Shen no longer hesitated and decided to choose this sword technique.

After that, Lin Shen chose three more sword techniques.

South Mountain Sword, two minor merits.

Sinking Sand Sword, three minor merits.

Flying Eagle Sword, three minor merits.

The four sword techniques cost him a total of 20 minor merits.

Immediately after, Lin Shen exchanged for another 15 palm techniques and five Physical Enhancement martial arts techniques.

After everything was settled, he only had three minor merits left.

Among the remaining Physical Enhancement martial arts on the exchange list, the cheapest required five minor merits.

“Merit points are used up so fast. No matter how many merit points there are, it’s not enough.”

Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh.

In just a moment, the large number of merit points he had just obtained was almost completely spent.

“However, 20 martial techniques are enough to last me for a while!”

Lin Shen did some calculations in his heart. 20 palm techniques were enough to raise the progress of Meltdown to 100%.

At that time, he would still need quite a few Physical Enhancement techniques.

If he wanted to exchange for more, he would probably need 80 to 90 minor merits.

However, he didn’t know how long the war in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range would last. For the time being, he could forget about carrying out missions there.

There were many related missions in the lake and swamp to the west of Dragonside City and the wilderness to the east. He could always earn merit points there.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Shen decided not to carry out the mission for the time being. He would cultivate and fuse all the martial techniques in his hands first.

“Unfortunately, there arc too few demon beasts in the west and east. The hunting efficiency is too low, so it’s not suitable to work on the effect of “Testify by Killing.”

Lin Shen felt a little regretful. It seemed like he could only cultivate in seclusion during this period of time.

After calming himself down, Lin Shen thought for a moment and used the remaining three minor merits to exchange for three Seven Star Swords.

Currently, he only had one Six Yang Talisman Swordwhicht was an enchanted armament. In addition, he had five Seven Star Swords that were talisman weapons.

However, with his clones, there were a total of seven of them. Six weapons were simply not enough. The remaining one could only be used as a Hundred Refinement Weapon.

“When will everyone have a Six Yang Talisman Sword?” Lin Shen sighed inwardly.

When he came back to his senses, he left the Merit Hall with a pile of martial technique manuals.

Eight days later.

Deep in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.

The huge Tianshu Flying Palace was propped up on a cloud.

In the main hall, dozens of people sat opposite each other.

The person in the main seat had a long nose and a wide forehead. His eyes were like those of an eagle, and he was extremely majestic. He was twice as strong as an ordinary person. At a glance, his aura was simply terrifying..
