Chapter 106 Becoming an Apprentice!
On the desolate land south of Mugu City.
Song Xingyuan and Lan Yue pushed the cart slowly toward the small patch of gray-blue sky to the north.
Shen Mo followed behind the two, carrying a bow and arrow, shooting down the monsters they encountered, and achieved some success.
They had already left the Demon Realm.
Judging from the time, it's highly unlikely that they'll make it to Mugu City in time.
So the three of them prepared to go to the MG-S-3 outpost to rest for the night.
Since Shen Mo's phone and some other things were still stored there, I picked them up while I was there.
On the two wheelbarrows, besides the spoils Shen Mo had collected, there was also some equipment.
These items came from Song Xingyuan and Lan Yue's teammates.
The group of nine escaped the abyss together, but were hunted down and killed by the cat demon, killing seven of them.
After much effort, Shen Mo and his two companions only managed to find the remains of four people.
And they were all destroyed by cat demons or eaten by monsters, leaving them in pieces.
Song Xingyuan could only take their equipment, badges, and other belongings, returning them to their families as souvenirs.
As for whether any other companions will survive.
Song Xingyuan is pessimistic about this.
After this incident, the Rock Lion Demon Hunter Team will definitely be expelled from the Demon Hunter Association.
During the search, Shen Mo learned that Song Xingyuan and Lan Yue were both bronze-level demon hunters.
Moreover, Song Xingyuan is only 23 years old, younger than Shi Lan, and has already undergone a second sublimation.
Lan Yue isn't very old, only 26, and seems to come from a well-off family. She's a magic bullet gunner.
Although he looked disheveled, it was clear that he had a good foundation.
He was extremely depressed, like a walking corpse.
On the way out of the Demon Realm, Song Xingyuan would always find something to talk about and chat with Shen Mo.
As for Lan Yue, she seemed to have withdrawn into herself, barely uttering a single word throughout the entire conversation.
She would occasionally turn her head to glance at Shen Mo, then quickly turn away again, as if she were doing something wrong, and continue her solitary confinement.
That look in his eyes left Shen Mo feeling somewhat bewildered.
His somewhat vacant eyes held a strange emotion that left him puzzled.
"Almost there!"
After crossing a hillside and seeing the outpost in the distance, Song Xingyuan felt a great sense of relief.
For him, the day's experience was like a rollercoaster ride.
Countless times, he felt like he was going to die.
Seeing the outpost at that moment, the pressure in my heart was released once again.
Glancing at Lan Yue, who stood there stunned, Song Xingyuan turned his head and hesitated before saying, "Father, I have a request..."
'
"Then don't say it." Shen Mo refused indifferently.
Through their conversations along the way, he roughly guessed what Song Xingyuan was thinking.
Song Xingyuan is skilled with a knife, and he has a good talent for it.
I deliberately showed off a few times along the way.
He said he was asking for advice, but he couldn't hide his true intentions...
Upon hearing this, Song Xingyuan gave an awkward smile, intending to let the matter drop.
After hesitating for a moment, he still shamelessly continued, "Could you please give me a chance to become your disciple and teach me swordsmanship?"
From now on, I will serve you with the respect due to a disciple!
Shaking his head, Shen Mo refused without hesitation: "I need to purify myself from demons; I don't have time to teach you."
"I can cleanse the demon with you!" Song Xingyuan said eagerly. "I don't want any reward, I just want you to give me a few pointers."
"It's inconvenient," Shen Mo refused bluntly. "The difference in our strength is too great."
Upon hearing this, Song Xingyuan gave an awkward laugh, his expression turning somber.
Having witnessed Shen Mo's swordsmanship, he genuinely wanted to become his apprentice.
But he himself knew it.
For Shen Mo, he was indeed a burden.
As for telling Shen Mo not to worry about his own life or death when he was purifying the demon, Song Xingyuan was too ashamed to say it.
Such words are tantamount to moral blackmail.
If something were to really happen, how could a clergyman, with his moral character, turn a blind eye?
After thinking for a moment, Song Xingyuan asked earnestly, "Could the Holy Father provide a way to contact you?"
If I encounter any problems with my swordsmanship, could you please teach me in your spare time?
As he spoke, Song Xingyuan bowed.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo considered it briefly and then gave her his phone number.
He had a pretty good impression of Song Xingyuan.
Even in a critical moment, he was willing to turn back to save his companion.
They treated themselves with utmost respect, eagerly taking on the dirtiest and hardest jobs, and showering them with concern and care along the way.
Moreover, he is indeed quite talented in swordsmanship.
If you can offer some guidance, that would be a good deed, and it would be worthy of the name of a clergyman.
Neither Shen Mo nor Song Xingyuan noticed.
Lan Yue, standing to the side, also seemed to have a renewed sparkle in her eyes, as if she were deep in thought.
"Thank you, Holy Father!"
After noting down Shen Mo's phone number, Song Xingyuan bowed again.
Shen Mo waved his hand and said, "Don't call me Holy Father anymore. My name is Shen Mo. Just call me by my name from now on."
Upon hearing this, Song Xingyuan pondered for a moment, then bowed to Shen Mo and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
'
"Okay." Shen Mo nodded in agreement.
He is younger than Song Xingyuan.
Calling me "brother" or any other title seems inappropriate; calling me "teacher" is much more suitable.
After all, those who have achieved something are teachers!
While chatting, the three arrived at the outpost.
The contents of those two wheelbarrows made the scavengers watching quite envious.
But he didn't dare to approach the three men and could only stand at a distance and beg.
Ignoring the scavengers, the three pushed their wheelbarrow to the guardhouse and checked in.
The brains of first-tier magical beasts and demonic wolves cannot be stored for very long.
Shen Mo took this opportunity to clean up his inventory, selling everything, including some minions of first-tier demons and low-level spoils collected by the Demon-Wo clan, to the outpost.
Only the trial certificate, magic crystals, and some relatively valuable items were left behind, to be dealt with upon returning to Dusk Valley City.
Song Xingyuan reported to the outpost the destruction of the Rock Lion Demon Hunter Group, as well as intelligence on the demon force in the Abyss Mist Forest (MG-SE30-CP75).
Then, led by the guards, the three of them each moved into a superior room.
After taking a shower and having a meal.
Shen Mo relaxed and lay down on the bed to start adding more medication.
He currently has 9 points of physical enhancement, 4 points of mental enhancement, and 3 points of holy enhancement.
Reserve 4 points for Constitution Enhancement.
Shen Mo raised his physical attribute to 65 points.
He then consumed 2 points of Holy Enhancement to see the changes after the first Holy Ascension.
In an instant, Shen Mo's senses were enveloped in holy light.
Comfortable, content, happy... Silence seems to have left only positive emotions.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment before disappearing as the holy light faded.
Shen Mo was surprised as he examined himself.
Aside from the increase in his holy power, he did not notice any other changes.
Opening the "Demon Hunter's Handbook," no new talent abilities appeared in the talent bar.
"Won't the ascension to sainthood unlock innate abilities?"
Shen Mo felt somewhat disappointed.
Da da da—
Just then, Shen Mo heard footsteps approaching him and stopping at his door.
Shen Mo raised an eyebrow, sat up from the bed, and then heard a loud knocking on the door.
Lan Yue?
Shen Mo's innate ability allowed him to know the identity of the visitor, which surprised him slightly.
"Who?"
The person outside the door remained silent, but Shen Mo knew she hadn't left.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to get out of bed, walk over, and open the door.
