Chapter 2, Here Comes the Nine Yang Divine Skill

In "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," You Tan Zhi, after acquiring the Yi Jin Jing of the Beggar's Sect leader Qiao Feng, swiftly transforms from an inconspicuous figure in the martial world into a top-tier master, second only to the main characters such as Qiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Duan Yu, comparable to the renowned Nan Murong.

Before mastering the Dugu Nine Swords, Linghu Chong's skills could at best be considered barely second-rate in the martial world, and his internal energy was exceedingly poor. Even in the later stages of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," when Linghu Chong became a top master in this world, his internal strength still left much to be desired

A young girl, around fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in green and possessing a delicate and exquisite appearance, hurriedly caught up from behind with this package.

"Master Brother, please come back soon!" Yue Ling Shan was unwillingly pulled away by Lu Da You

To break free from the constraints of the original narrative, one must first possess formidable internal strength for self-protection. The Huashan Sect's Zixia Divine Skill can be considered one of the top internal martial arts in the martial world; however, relying solely on the Zixia Divine Skill to dominate the martial realm is evidently unrealistic

The one who has arrived is Yue Buqun's only daughter, Yue Ling Shan, the most favored junior disciple of the Huashan Sect, and also a significant tragic figure in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"

The Nine Yang Divine Skill is even more miraculous. After Zhang Wuji, this sickly man, mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, not only did he cleanse his marrow and eliminate his old ailments through the principles of the I Ching, but he also ascended to the pinnacle of martial arts in a remarkably short time, flattening all enemies and obstacles in his path

Compared to the Yi Jin Jing, Linghu Chong prefers the Nine Yang Divine Skill. The mastery of Nine Yang not only renders one immune to all poisons but also provides a significant advantage in combat.

Yue Buqun clearly understood this eldest disciple, and with a glare, said: "Why aren't you leaving quickly!"

Rest assured, little junior sister. Perhaps the senior brother will return early after completing his task. When that time comes, he will take you out for some fun. For now, let Lu Hou'er accompany you in practicing your swordsmanship, alright? Be good and listen!

Linghu Chong is no longer the original Linghu Chong; this fellow intends to sneak into Lingjiu Temple to steal the Nine Yang Divine Skill, so how could he dare to bring along a burden

It is settled. You are no longer a child; it is time for you to venture out. After delivering the letter to Master Fangzheng, you should go out into the world to gain experience. Do not bring shame upon your teacher. If I hear of you doing anything that tarnishes the reputation of Mount Hua, I will punish you by making you face the wall at the Cliff of Reflection for a year

Under the influence of Linghu Chong's way of thinking, I involuntarily began to adopt my usual smooth-talking manner

"Chong'er, the world is fraught with danger; be mindful of your safety when you go outside. Exercise caution and do not be careless." Madam Yue, Ning Zhongze, handed the luggage she had prepared last night to Linghu Chong.

Do not make a fuss, junior sister; the senior brother is attending to serious matters and cannot accompany you to play

Tomorrow, I will set off for Lingjiu Temple to deliver a letter. No matter what, I must seize this opportunity to try my luck at the Sutra Repository at https://www.hetushu.com. " Linghu Chong silently thought to himself

Master, rest assured. Your teachings will be firmly remembered by your disciple. Punish the wicked and eliminate evil, uphold righteousness and assist the needy, and help the poor by taking from the rich. No, I mean, it is to draw the sword in aid of those who suffer injustice, to uphold the majesty of Mount Hua!

Junior Sister, Lu Hou'er, Master and Mistress, I, Linghu Chong, will definitely not allow a tragedy to occur again. I am determined to completely change this world. I am here to laugh proudly in the Jianghu. Lingjiu Temple, I, Linghu Chong, have come for the Nine Yang Divine Skill!

As the male protagonist, he appears carefree and at ease, experiencing one adventure after another, acquiring extraordinary skills and attracting beautiful women, making others envious. While watching television, it feels quite enjoyable, yet reality is not as good as it seems.

Linghu Chong silently said to himself

Linghu Chong bid farewell to the Yue Buqun couple and walked out of the main hall. It seemed that at this moment, Yue Buqun was not too bad, at least he still cared for his eldest disciple. Remembering the ending of Yue Buqun in the television series, Linghu Chong felt a wave of sadness.

Early the next morning, Yue Buqun handed the letter to Linghu Chong and solemnly instructed, "The journey ahead is long; do not indulge in drinking and cause trouble. If you dare to tarnish the reputation of our sect, I will not spare you!"

Yue Buqun turned his head and let out a cold snort, yet Linghu Chong still caught a fleeting glimpse of concern in his eyes

How can one avoid such tragedies, and how can one take control of their own destiny? This is what Linghu Chong needs to understand and plan for at this moment

Master's wife ... ... Rest assured

Mother said you must venture into the world, and Father will not return until his birthday, so I will not see Senior Brother for a long time, and there will be no one to practice swordsmanship with me, no one to play with me

Master, Master, wait for me, I want to venture into the world with you

Having lost all internal power and being expelled from the sect, the junior sister met a tragic end, and my closest junior brother, Lu Hou'er, also died a tragic death. Master Yue Buqun castrated himself and subsequently died a tragic death. Mistress Ning Zhongze suffered the greatest sorrow, leading to her own tragic demise. In summary, very few who had a close relationship with this person ended up well.

"Lu Hou'er, why aren't you quickly taking the junior sister back!" Linghu Chong shouted to Lu Dayou, who was hiding behind and watching the excitement.

After mastering the Solitary Nine Swords, it still ended in tragedy, plagued by misfortune all the way. Multiple internal energies clashed within, leading to near-death experiences several times. Let alone the question of life or death, just the feeling of being half-alive is enough to send shivers down one's spine

Linghu Chong had no choice but to obediently coax her

Yue Lingshan pouted, feeling extremely downcast

The moon on the fifteenth is very round, and a figure sits quietly on the eaves, seemingly in deep thought. This figure is Linghu Da, who has inexplicably crossed over to the world of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"; he is now Linghu Chong, the male lead in the story.

With a swift motion, Linghu Chong leaped down from the eaves, vanishing into the darkness

It is now the ninth year since Dongfang Bubai was elected as the leader of the Demon Sect, and there are less than two years left before the Lin family is exterminated, marking the beginning of the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

To be honest, the so-called leading man, Linghu Chong, is actually a complete tragic figure. Before mastering the Dugu Nine Swords, he was brutally beaten by the flower-thieving bandit Tian Boguang, leaving him with not a single good piece of flesh on his body. Several times, he fell to the ground pretending to be dead, and the blood he coughed up had to be collected in a wine jar.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill is externally fierce and domineering, while internally it warms the meridians and nourishes the veins. Moreover, the speed of internal energy generation is astonishingly rapid and inexhaustible. Even ordinary strikes can unleash tremendous offensive power, and its defensive capabilities are unmatched, with an automatic protective function that rebounds external attacks, forming an indestructible body. Practitioners excel in lightness skills, surpassing all masters of lightness techniques in the world. It is also a sacred text for healing, impervious to all poisons, specifically designed to counteract all cold and yin internal energies.

I am not the indecisive, heartless Linghu Chong from the television series, the one who makes people want to stab him twice. I am a time traveler, the protagonist of this world. I will never allow the tragedies of the story to unfold before me. Master and Mistress, take care of yourselves

The only martial arts that truly caught Linghu Chong's attention in the present era were the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Yi Jin Jing of Lingjiu Temple. However, Linghu Chong's current physique has already missed the optimal period for martial arts training, and only the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Yi Jin Jing can enable him to undergo a complete transformation.

One can imagine the kind of nightmares that adversaries must endure when facing such a person

Honestly, Yue Ling Shan is pure and lovely, no less than the big stars like the Jade Maiden Sect Leader from the previous life. However, at this moment, Ling Hu Chong only sees her as a little sister and does not harbor any inappropriate thoughts, as she is still a young girl who has not yet reached adulthood

Sighing, Linghu Chong lamented that the brothers of Mount Hua, and even the couple Yue Buqun, regarded him and Yue Ling Shan as childhood sweethearts. As a result, they often teased and guided Yue Ling Shan, leading the naive Yue Ling Shan to believe that this was love. In reality, Yue Ling Shan's attachment to him was merely that of a younger sister towards an older brother. This explains why, shortly after Lin Pingzhi's arrival, Yue Ling Shan quickly changed her affections.

Linghu Chong murmured to himself: "According to the introduction in the previous life’s novel, the Nine Yang Divine Skill is hidden within the Lankavatara Sutra at Shaolin Temple. In this new world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, there is only Lingjiu Temple; I wonder if it is still inside."

Madam Yue's words of care deeply touched Linghu Chong, as no one had ever treated him so well in his past life

Hmph, a doting mother often spoils her child

Yue Buqun is also a pitiable figure; in order to revitalize the Huashan Sect, he toiled for over a decade, even going so far as to castrate himself, which led to a drastic change in his character, ultimately resulting in his being forsaken by both friends and family.
