At nightfall, somewhere in the Xinghua Sect's house, someone was planning something.

"Your Excellency, this is what you commanded the lowly to find. A slender black figure knelt respectfully on the ground. In both hands, a bag containing broken glass was presented.

Sitting in front of the dark shadow was a fair woman leaning against the window. Because of the light coming in through the window, it was impossible to see her face. But her beautiful voice, like heaven, can be heard clearly—

"Well, that's right, it's that broken True Qi test tube. There seems to be a subtle aura left on it......"

The black shadow kneeling on the ground said: "The humble position has been ascertained, and the person who caused this test tube to be broken is called Jiang Ziyao, and he is a disciple of the outer court. ”

"I know that. At that time, I was in the crowd at the examination site in the inner courtyard. ”

"Oh, then, Holy Maiden, you should also know about Elder Stardust taking him as an apprentice?"

"Yes. Elder Stardust had a bright eye and accepted a very potential Assassin disciple. ”

"Since your heart is like a mirror, you have the courage to ask, is this test tube broken because of the power of the Nine Yang Bead?"

"This ...... I can't say for sure yet. The fair woman, known as the Holy Maiden, carefully looked at the glass fragments in the transparent bag, "Our Moon God Palace has been looking for the Jiuyang Pearl, could it be on Jiang Ziyao?" ”

The dark shadow hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about ...... Shall we report this to the Witch-sama?"

"Not at the moment. I don't have enough evidence to prove this at the moment. Let's wait and see. However, once the location of the Nine Yang Beads is confirmed, I will personally take action to seize the treasure left by the ancestor of the Assassins. ”

......

At seven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Ziyao reported to the elders' house on time. The Xinghua Sect is divided into an outer court, an inner court, and an elder's house. The outer courtyard is located on the periphery of the Xinghua Sect and is where the inferior disciples work. The inner courtyard was where the Assassin disciples studied, practiced martial arts, and lived.

As for the House of Elders, as the name suggests, it was the exclusive domain of the Assassin Elders. Here live the elders of the Xinghua Sect. Except for the elders, only the elder disciples were allowed to enter and leave freely.

Although Jiang Ziyao only passed the Inner Court assessment, he had become a disciple of Elder Stardust. So he also has the right to be an elder disciple.

Walking into the mansion where Elder Stardust lived, Jiang Ziyao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the treatment of the disciples and elders in the outer courtyard was really too different. The building of this house is carved and painted, and it is extremely luxurious. This pavilion and water pavilion are even more exquisitely carved and beautiful.

"You're here. Just as Jiang Ziyao was looking at the flowers, the purple-clothed Stardust Elder walked up to him with a smile.

"Elder Stardust, hello!" Jiang Ziyao bowed respectfully to him according to the etiquette of master and apprentice.

After a brief greeting, Elder Stardust immediately cut to the chase: "After entering the inner courtyard, you will officially become an assassin of the Xinghua Sect. The average Inner Court disciple needs to learn many Assassin lessons. Assassin Mentors with different specialties will teach different courses. Such as assassination, concealment, gathering intelligence, and so on. You can learn a lot of Assassin techniques from it. But I don't want you to follow this proper path. ”

"Why?" Jiang Ziyao was quite happy to hear that he could learn many practical assassin skills. But in the end, Elder Stardust actually came to say this.

"Because that's how the Xinghua Sect cultivates assassins in batches. Maybe you can learn a lot from it and become very good. But if you go that way, you will never be able to become the top assassin of the Yantian Continent. Since you have great ambitions, you will definitely not be willing to be ordinary, right?"

Jiang Ziyao nodded vigorously and asked, "Then how can I become a top-level assassin with superior strength?"

"Follow my instructions. I will carve your fine piece of jade into the most brilliant Qiong Yao in the world. After completing the training I have assigned, I will not stop you if you still want to go to the Inner Court to learn the Assassin course that interests you. You can choose to accept or reject this teaching method. I didn't mean to persecute you. ”

Jiang Ziyao thought about it for a while and felt that this method was good. Since Elder Stardust was the strongest assassin in the Xinghua Sect, under his teaching, he would definitely be able to learn many things that ordinary people couldn't learn.

And Elder Stardust also gave him a certain degree of freedom. As long as he completed his training, he could still study the Assassin course in the Inner Court for the rest of the time.

Thinking of this section, Jiang Ziyao said, "I am willing to accept your teachings. ”

"Good. But I want you to be mentally prepared. I'm a very strict teacher. So let's talk about the basics of assassination. Elder Stardust stretched out three fingers, "The cultivation of the assassin can be roughly divided into three aspects. Namely, exercises, killing techniques, and divine seals. Only by doing these three things to the extreme can you become a top assassin. ”

Regarding the Divine Seal, Jiang Ziyao doesn't know much about it. But he knows a little about the exercises and killing techniques.

First of all, the exercises were the foundation of the Assassin's cultivation. If you want to talk about the skills of the Assassin, you have to talk about the rank of the Assassin first.

In the Yantian Continent, the level of assassins can be divided into three categories from low to high: Killer, Killer, Sect, Lord, King, Emperor, Emperor, Saint, and God.

Each major level is divided into a nine-star realm.

For example, at the level of Killer, there are one-star killers, two-star killers, and three-star killers...... All the way to the Nine Star Killer.

One of the one-star killer cultivators is the lowest. The strength of the nine-star killer is the strongest. Nine-star killers go up, that is, one-star killers, and two-star killers...... Until the nine-star killer. Except for killing gods, the rest can be so on.

These ranks, in turn, correspond one-to-one to the Nine Veins of the Assassins.

The so-called nine veins of the assassins are the nine meridians cultivated by the assassins, namely, the Shi vein, the general vein, the clan vein, the Jue vein, the king vein, the imperial vein, the venerable vein, the holy vein, and the divine vein.

The nine veins of the Assassins correspond to the nine realms of the Assassins. The warrior vein corresponds to the killer, the general vein corresponds to the killing general, and the clan corresponds to the killing sect...... Until the holy vein corresponds to the killing of the saint, and the divine vein corresponds to the killing of the god.

Each Assassin meridian has nine acupuncture points, corresponding to the nine-star level.

For example, a two-star killer means that the first two acupuncture points of the Shimai have been opened. The five-star killing general means that the first five acupuncture points of the entire Shi vein and the general vein have been opened.

However, not everyone has the Nine Veins of Assassins in their body.

The number of the Nine Veins of the Assassins is innate. It will not change because of the transformation of the day after tomorrow. So even though there are many would-be Assassins, this innate factor keeps many people out.

Some people have a few of the nine assassin veins in their bodies, but they are not all of them. These veins would then limit his future growth in Assassin cultivation.

For example, a person has a warrior and a general. None of the other seven veins. Then this person will at most cultivate to the nine-star killing general. If you want to break through to the upside, in general, it is impossible.

Such a person is destined not to become a top-level assassin. And those who don't have nine veins can't become assassins.

The role of the Assassin technique is inseparable from the rank of the Assassin. To put it simply, practicing the Assassin Technique can enable the Assassin to open the Nine Veins of the Assassin faster, thereby increasing his level.

Therefore, it is very important for every Assassin to have a powerful technique.

In the past five years, Jiang Ziyao has been staying in the realm of assassins at the level of two-star killers. The root cause is that he is plagued by the true qi of the moon god. Fortunately, there is no more trouble. Jiang Ziyao believes that with the power of Jiuyang Zhu, as long as he cultivates diligently, he believes that his cultivation will definitely enter the realm quickly.

Secondly, the killing technique, which is the skill used by the assassins. Normally, there are ten levels of killing skills: Tier 1 to Tier 10. The first-order killing skill has the lowest level and the weakest power. The 10th order killing skill is the highest level and the most powerful.

But the more powerful the killing skill, the harder it is to learn. Because the more powerful it is, the harder it is to harness.

The Assassin's skill and killing skills were equally important to the Assassin.

An assassin with high cultivation is like a strong man with infinite strength, with great basic energy. Killing skills are techniques that use this power.

If the Assassin is highly cultivated, but does not practice killing techniques, then he is like a strong man with no divine powers, unable to use his strength correctly, and can only rely on his strength to fight randomly.

Therefore, exercises and killing techniques are indispensable to the Assassins, and they cannot be neglected.

"The Divine Seal is the mark that only the best assassins will appear. Now you don't have to know much about it just yet. I'll tell you then. In the early stage, we mainly focused on the two things of martial arts and killing techniques. Elder Stardust didn't explain much to the Divine Seal, and directly pointed out the key points.

Jiang Ziyao nodded and asked, "So which one should I learn first today?"

"Originally, I was going to teach you an assassin technique first. But for some reason, the Assassin technique hasn't been mastered yet. In addition, today is the day when the Tibetan Technology Pavilion is open. That's why we're going to let you master the killing technique first. Now, tell me about the assassin skills you've mastered. ”

"Afterimage. ”

"What else?"

"It's gone. ”

"What?" Elder Xingchen looked at Jiang Ziyao in surprise, "You have been in the outer courtyard of the Xinghua Sect for five years, and you have learned a first-order killing technique that almost every disciple can do?"

"I, I'm ......" Jiang Ziyao hung his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, teacher, I have a low status and don't have the opportunity to come into contact with other assassins......"

Elder Stardust suddenly shouted, "Don't hide your skills in front of me!If it's really as you said, then how did you learn the afterimage?"

Jiang Ziyao said aggrievedly: "I, I didn't lie, and I didn't hide skills. I learned the afterimage by peeking at the cultivation of my senior brothers by chance. ”

Elder Stardust stared at Jiang Ziyao for a long time before he sighed: "That's it, just with this ability, you have defeated the examiner, and you can be regarded as very good." Now I'll give you the first Assassin Cultivation - enter the Hidden Technique Pavilion and learn a killing skill above the second order within twenty-four hours. ”

The Tibetan Technique Pavilion, that is, the place where the Xinghua Sect collects killing techniques, is similar to the existence of a library. Killing skills, on the other hand, are skills that every Assassin must master. For example, the afterimage used by Jiang Ziyao is the most basic killing technique of the assassin.

Xinghua Sect has always had a rule: newly promoted inner court disciples can get a chance to enter the Tibetan Technology Pavilion. However, the time spent in the Tibetan Pavilion was only twenty-four hours.

After twenty-four hours, regardless of whether or not they have learned the killing technique, they will be sent out of the Tibetan Skill Pavilion. If there are no special circumstances, you will not be able to go in later.

As for how much you can learn, it depends on your understanding.

After assigning Jiang Ziyao the task, Elder Xingchen said again: "At two o'clock this afternoon, the Tibetan Technique Pavilion will open to the newly promoted inner court disciples on time. If, within a day, you can't learn a killing technique higher than the second order, don't come back to see me. ”
