The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1086: The Rules Changed Again! (2)

The latter was incomparably light, like a soaring swallow.

Very soon, the three of them had vanished into the afternoon sunlight.

...

[Yes/No spend 20 Satiety points, 1 Excitement of Feast point to learn Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique?]

After the old monk finished his explanation, such text appeared in front of Jason.

Jason was not surprised.

He had guessed as much before.

And now, it was just confirmation.

"Yes."

Jason gave a positive answer.

[Spent 20 Satiety points, 1 Excitement of Feast point to learn the basics of Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique.]

[Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique (Basic): This is a secret technique passed down from the first Master of Tongshou Temple, ’Ming Wang.’ It’s a unique technique created by the Master combining several secret techniques, which can gather special strength and attach a ’dragon form’ to the body, greatly enhancing the user’s capabilities; Effect: Consumes a certain amount of Physical Strength, with a 3-second preparation time, gains a +0.2 bonus to all attributes, continuously losing Physical Strength during the duration.]

(Note: Its dragon form is just a shape, not an actual dragon in the literal sense.)

...

Looking at the detailed explanation of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique, Jason’s eyes lit up.

His gaze was fixed on the all attributes +0.2.

If the basic level increases all attributes by 0.2, then... what about at the Master level? The Transcendent level?

How much will the attributes increase?

Will there be more special effects?

The thought excited Jason.

However, when he saw that raising the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique from basic to entry level required 30 Satiety points and 2 Excitement of Feast points, he quickly calmed down.

Satiety points are easy to obtain.

Excitement of Feast?

Too difficult.

Especially for Jason, Excitement of Feast was never enough; he was always in a state of shortage.

"I need more ’hunting’!"

Jason thought silently.

And the old monk of Tongshou Temple once again sighed with admiration.

Jason truly has extraordinary talent!

Starting from the [Substitute Hair], although it wasn’t the first time he had sensed Jason’s immense talent.

But each time he saw it, the old monk of Tongshou Temple couldn’t help but exclaim again.

"Indeed, my choice was right."

"Entrusting Tongshou Temple to a true Master like Jason is the most correct decision."

"I, the imposter, can finally retire."

With this thought, the old monk of Tongshou Temple genuinely felt relieved at heart.

He could already imagine the unshakeable state of Tongshou Temple as time passed and Jason grew stronger step by step.

And it wouldn’t be long.

Ten years!

Fifteen years!

At most, no more than twenty years!

Jason would be able to reach the average level of past Masters of Tongshou Temple.

Even, he could be on par with the second and third-generation Masters.

By then, he could close his eyes in peace.

Thinking of the beautiful future, the old monk of Tongshou Temple couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile.

But then, he immediately remembered the troubles that Jason is facing now.

"Master, please be extremely careful."

"The Hanakaiin Family’s trial for the branch family to ’take over the main house’ is far crueler than you can imagine."

"And far more... sinister."

The old monk chose his words carefully before using that term.

"I have already felt it."

Jason replied.

The fact that the invitation from Hanakaiin Haru had mysteriously disappeared said it all.

And the ’wildcard’ competition tonight further clarified things for Jason.

"This is just the beginning."

"Or rather..."

"What is given is always what they want the Master to see, and what remains hidden is truly what they care about."

The old monk reminded.

"I understand."

"Tonight’s fight, how could they simply notify us so straightforwardly."

"It’s nothing more than an early notice of the new rules to disrupt our ’Xin’, to make us ’actively adapt’ to the new rules, but when we arrive at the scene, they’ll simply change the rules again."

Jason said with a smile.

When he first heard the new rules, Jason had already made similar speculations.

It seemed incredulous and shameless to ordinary people.

But to Jason, it was just commonplace.

Because, in the Nightless City, such things are too common.

"Master, you are truly wise."

The old monk initially wanted to remind Jason again, but after hearing Jason’s words, he just smiled and brought his hands together in a sign of respect.

What he wanted to say, Jason had already understood on his own.

It couldn’t be better.

What’s left?

The old monk also believed that Jason would do well enough.

Of course, when Jason left, the old monk still made a final reminder.

"Master, you are still young."

"The gains and losses at the moment don’t amount to much."

"What is most important, is to stay alive."

"Only by staying alive do you have everything."

"Only by staying alive can you witness miracles."

The old monk said earnestly.

"Of course."

Jason responded even more earnestly.

Nobody understood the significance of ’staying alive’ better than Jason.

If he didn’t stay alive, how could he return home?

If he didn’t stay alive, how could he avenge the old Earl?

If he didn’t stay alive, how could he taste those foods he’d never tried?

Staying alive was too important.

Therefore, strength was too important.

To stay alive, and to live better, he must become powerful!

Become powerful time and time again.

Powerful enough to live freely.

The old monk watched Jason’s retreating figure leaving the Sutra Depository, and he could clearly feel that Jason had become a bit firmer once again.

It was obviously a strengthening of the mind.

"Master, do you have a goal?"
