Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Chapter 319: 319 wrong wrong wrong, it’s my fault

Tears brimming in his eyes, Yang Yu directly climbed onto the carriage, whipped the reins, and without looking back, drove Lotcar away.

Ghost Talk stood there dumbfounded, shivering in the cold wind.

He could never have dreamed that he had deliberately tried to teach Yang Yu to comprehend the Secret Technique of Shadow Stream, to have a great revelation, to inherit the foundation of Shadow Stream that had lasted for hundreds of years, to find the next sucker.

But he never expected that his plan had ended before it even began.

Yang Yu had come over, glanced a few times, and appeared to fully grasp his intention, and then took off running, the cooked duck completely flying away.

”Nowadays, young people, really. I haven’t even started teaching, and they think it’s insurmountable, just running off like that. And I got spoken to in such a bewildering manner.”

He sighed to himself for a moment, Ghost Talk folded his arms and scratched his head. He truly was becoming less and less able to understand the youth of today.

This generational gap in communication was too huge, no wonder Lili had taken a fancy to younger guys.

No, perhaps, I was wrong from the start to want the old cow to eat the young grass.

He put his hand on his chin, Ghost Talk pondered for a moment.

”Actually, he made sense. The current Ancient Martial Arts Sects are too complex in their cultivation, completely unable to compete with the emerging styles.

Perhaps, it’s necessary to simplify the cumbersome cultivation process. If Shadow Stream could be turned into a martial arts style suitable for all ages, Shadow Stream could be revived.

In order to do this, going out to see the world seems essential.”

Looking towards Shadow Stream Martial Arts Hall, Ghost Talk was filled with emotion and then made the most important decision of his life.

”Ancestors, forgive me. This is done out of necessity, as the young people of today are all this way, if we continue like this, we’ll definitely not find a successor. I’ve decided to leave and look for a new path.”

Successfully finding an excuse to leave the town, having convinced himself, Ghost Talk disappeared into the streets with a light step.

Sitting on the carriage, Yang Yu couldn’t stop grinning. With ”Shadow Deception,” he’d no longer have to worry about hitting someone as if he were performing gua sha.

Moreover, ”Shadow Deception” was a skill from a nearly fallen sect, hardly anyone knew about it, which meant that when someone encountered Yang Yu for the first time, they certainly wouldn’t be prepared for this move, and would definitely be caught off guard.

The skill had an attack multiplier of a whole 300%, and with the title ”Light and Sin” boosting Yang Yu’s attributes, as long as the opponent’s attack was high enough, Yang Yu was confident that even with a trash panel, he could produce explosive output.

The only downside was that the casting action for this skill was a bit long, once someone got hit by the skill, they would certainly become wary, making it very difficult to hit them a second time.

If there was a way to eliminate the wind-up, ”Shadow Deception” would be a Divine Skill among Divine Skills.

Yang Yu slightly furrowed his brow.

To so easily lay hands on such a Divine Skill, Yang Yu felt an inexplicable unease...

That was impossible.

In most games, learning a skill was just like checking in somewhere, and Yang Yu had long since grown accustomed to it.

As long as he knew where the skill was, found the person who could use it, and figured out what that person really wanted, he could smoothly acquire the desired skill.

That was a very normal process.

Even if some skills required completing tasks to obtain, Yang Yu wouldn’t have any complaints.

Rather than worrying about not learning skills, it was better to worry whether he had enough Skill Points.

Today, in one breath, he had spent a hundred and seventy Skill Points. At this rate, he feared he wouldn’t learn many skills before his Skill Points were all spent.

He still needed to find a way to acquire more Skill Points. Since he was getting crushed in every attribute, he had to start with skills.

Excellent skill combinations can be more useful than pure panel attributes.

Seeing Yang Yu humming happily, Iyas asked tentatively,

”Have you already learned it? That fast...”

Disbelief also appeared on Bai Jin’s face, ”From afar, it looked like a very difficult skill, and yet it took just a few minutes... What method did he use?”

Bai Jin knew too well the extent of effort she had to put in at the All Things Library to learn the skill Yang Yu had written down on paper.

And yet, Yang Yu had learned the desired skill almost instantaneously. The psychological gap was enormous.

Yang Yu said with a smile, ”The uncle who taught the skill was very kind and taught me with great care. Don’t be envious, the reason I learn quickly is that I have a special learning technique.

You can think of it as copying the skill used by that person in my mind, turning it into a Skill Scroll, and directly applying it to myself.

This is also one of the abilities I acquired from that mysterious maze.

However, each time I use this ability, it consumes a lot of my mental energy and can even affect my health to a certain degree.

I won’t use it lightly unless it’s really a skill I want to learn.”

Hearing Yang Yu say this, Bai Jin’s envy turned into concern.

Actually, Yang Yu was being deliberately mysterious, purely to placate Bai Jin and Iyas.

He had customized skill lists for both of them and would spend a lot of time during their journey, allowing Bai Jin and Iyas to follow various people to learn skills.

He seemed to learn anything at a glance. Iyas and Bai Jin could easily compare themselves to him, thus unable to calm down to study seriously, becoming impatient for success, learning only superficially without fully mastering the skills, and failing at critical moments.

Yang Yu always thought, if only Bai Jin and Iyas could learn skills simply by finding someone to teach them and paying a certain fee, like characters in a game.

Sadly, this idea was impractical.

The game designed by the gods was realistic in every sense.

Every individual had their own thoughts and acted according to the world’s laws; it was foolish to try to accurately predict someone’s actions.

Yang Yu would only deduce their actions after completely grasping their internal thoughts.

However, it was precisely because the game world was as real as the real world that it created this beautiful world.

Unpredictability and various possibilities were also one of the selling points of the game.

It was also for this reason that Yang Yu felt he could easily find methods that even civilians could seamlessly clear.

Continuing their journey in the carriage, Yang Yu and his companions arrived at a city not far from Luocun Town—Amulotdan.

It was a somewhat renowned city, boasting a cathedral not inferior to the Royal Capital Cathedral. Many Priests or those of the Holy Light Profession would choose to come here to study.

The adventurer guild also offered services to learn Priest skills but generally couldn’t play the role of guiding Priests further in their growth.

The Priest profession was very scarce, and high-level Priests were even rarer.

Only those blessed by the goddess could wield the power of Holy Light and become Priests or Holy Knights.

Most of them either served as the main healers in high-level adventurer teams or worked in large cathedrals, healing the injured populace.

They seldom had the time to teach Priest-related knowledge at the adventurer guild.
