The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 274: Chapter 270: Dragon Tiger University, a Cultivation Sect?

”If his killing intent is too strong, it’ll just hold him back.”

Tang Qinru sighed softly.

The Lin Yi of today was a completely different person from when she had first met him.

Although he still looked kind and gentle on the surface, a hint of killing intent was already faintly visible deep in his eyes.

In truth, it wasn’t by his own choice. It was mainly because he had been to Jail City too many times.

He had taken too many lives, and for every person he killed, his body would generate a baleful aura.

The stronger the baleful aura, the stronger the killing intent.

For a martial artist, excessive killing intent becomes a shackle.

Their future path in Martial Arts is destined to be fraught with hardship.

Lin Yi’s talent was considerable, and his future should have been limitless.

If his future was hindered because his killing intent was too strong, the loss would far outweigh the gain.

That’s why this trip to Dragon Tiger Mountain was so necessary.

Once they were in the mountains and had met the Elder Celestial Master, perhaps Lin Yi’s baleful aura could be dispelled.

After getting on the highway and driving for nearly three hours, they finally exited and drove along the streets for less than an hour.

A towering mountain that pierced the clouds came into view.

From a distance, it looked like a colossal beast from ancient times.

It sat there with its gaping, bloody maw, overlooking the entire city.

The moment it awoke, the entire city would be crushed beneath it.

In particular, two peaks, one on the left and one on the right, looked as if they had been carved by the heavens themselves into the likeness of a dragon and a tiger.

Facing each other, they seemed poised for a legendary battle.

”So this is Dragon Tiger Mountain?”

Gazing at the awe-inspiring mountain before him, Lin Yi felt for the first time just how insignificant humanity was.

Faced with such an uncanny masterpiece of nature, a person was no different from an ant.

Tang Qinru nodded and drove toward Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Soon, at the foot of the mountain, rows of ancient-style buildings came into view.

There were also people in Daoist robes leaping back and forth between cliffs.

”This is Dragon Tiger University!”

Tang Qinru said, pointing at the rows of distinctly ancient-style buildings ahead.

”That’s the Alchemy Area. Students majoring in Alchemy study and live there.

And over there is the Talisman Making Area. Students specializing in talismans study and live there!”

”There are also majors in Daoist methods, Magic, Daoist Medicine, and so on...”

”All the different majors have their own distinct areas!”

”Their university is completely different from what we’re used to!”

”There’s no so-called president, nor is there a conventional campus!”

”The entire university is built into the mountain, surrounding all of Dragon Tiger Mountain!”

”The spaces between the peaks are all part of their campus...”

After Tang Qinru finished speaking,

Lin Yi nodded, his gaze already captivated by the sight of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

’I never expected Dragon Tiger Mountain to be so unique!’

”Among all the Martial Arts Universities in the New District, only Dragon Tiger has a scale like this!”

”Even their Daoist Medicine program is more refined than the physician program at Lanshan University!”

”It’s just that Daoist Medicine requires a certain talent. Those with talent learn it easily, but for those without, even rote memorization is useless!”

”No one who comes to Dragon Tiger Mountain University chooses their own major. Instead, the sect uncles assign them a specialty based on their aptitude!”

Lin Yi smiled. ”It really is a different kind of university. Qinru, isn’t this just like one of the sects from a novel? The only difference being the ranks, like Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and True Disciples, right?”

Tang Qinru laughed. ”Dragon Tiger Mountain is, in fact, a sect!”

”Put it this way: any student who can get into Dragon Tiger University has essentially received the sect’s legacy!”

”Whether it’s Alchemy, talisman making, Daoist methods, Magic, or Daoist Morality!”

”These are all part of a lineage that you simply can’t learn anywhere else!”

”Dragon Tiger Mountain has its own Daoist arts. Even after they graduate, they will only ever say they are disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain, not students of Dragon Tiger University!”

”That in itself is another part of the legacy!”

At her words, Lin Yi nodded.

Among the universities in the New District, only Dragon Tiger Mountain had such a concept of lineage.

While they were speaking, Tang Qinru had already driven into the Dragon Tiger University parking lot.

Just as she parked the car, a Little Daoist in robes hurried over.

”Excuse me, are you Donor Tang?”

Tang Qinru quickly opened the car door, stepped out, and nodded slightly. ”I made an appointment with the Elder Celestial Master. I’ve come to pay him a visit today!”

”The Celestial Master is waiting in the Dragon Tiger Palace. However, he has given word that Fellow Daoist Lin must ascend the mountain on foot!”

”On foot?”

Tang Qinru’s brow furrowed as she glanced back at Lin Yi.

”It’s fine, Qinru. If the Elder Celestial Master wants me to climb the mountain on foot, he must have his reasons!”

”You go on ahead and wait for me. I’ll walk up myself!”

Before Tang Qinru could say anything, Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

In his mind, a great master like the Elder Celestial Master naturally had his own ways of doing things.

Perhaps making him climb the mountain on foot was a kind of test.

Therefore, Lin Yi agreed without a second thought.

”Fellow Daoist Lin does not need to ascend alone. You can just follow me!” the Little Daoist replied with a light smile.

Tang Qinru nodded. ”Alright then. Be careful. I’ll go up the mountain and wait for you!”

After saying this, Tang Qinru didn’t even look back.

She walked straight ahead.

As Lin Yi watched, she walked up to a cliff face.

The next moment, something happened that stunned Lin Yi.

An elevator door actually opened in the cliff face.

After Tang Qinru stepped inside, she turned back and gave Lin Yi a faint smile.

Then, the elevator door slowly closed...

”I didn’t realize you guys at Dragon Tiger Mountain were so high-tech. You installed an elevator inside the mountain?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Little Daoist smiled and nodded.

”Even a cultivation sect has to keep up with the times!”

”Besides, Dragon Tiger Mountain has always been this way. Fellow Daoist Lin, are you ready? Shall we enter the mountain?”

Lin Yi nodded.

”Yes, let’s go!”

”Very well. Please keep up with me, Fellow Daoist Lin. Don’t get lost in the mountains!”

”The mountains are fraught with danger. The paths are treacherous and complex, and there are even demonic beasts. Please be careful, Fellow Daoist!”

After the Little Daoist finished his explanation,

Lin Yi frowned and glanced at him.

”There are demonic beasts in the mountains? Hasn’t anyone cleared them out? Aren’t you worried other Daoists might run into danger?”

Hearing this, the Little Daoist smiled. ”That’s also one of the required courses at Dragon Tiger Mountain!”

Lin Yi: ”...”

After that, the two of them walked toward the foot of the mountain.

A few minutes later, the Little Daoist led Lin Yi to the front of a rugged and steep mountain path.

He glanced back at Lin Yi and said with a light smile, ”Fellow Daoist, you can ascend the mountain from here. Be careful on your way up!”

Lin Yi nodded and glanced at the steep path ahead.

This mountain would not be an easy climb; it was far more treacherous than he had imagined.

The next moment, the Little Daoist headed straight onto the path.

His steps were light and quick, completely unaffected by the rugged, steep terrain.

Lin Yi felt a deep sense of admiration.

He quickly followed after him.

But the moment he stepped onto the mountain path, Lin Yi’s heart jumped.

A powerful sense of resistance felt as if it was trying to push him back down.

Lin Yi quickly adjusted his posture and glanced at the Little Daoist walking ahead.

He noticed the distance between them was already widening.

He hurriedly tried to imitate the Little Daoist’s posture and started slowly up the mountain.

Sure enough, the resistance he had just felt lessened considerably.

However, Lin Yi felt as if his body was being weighed down by a hundred pounds.

Every step on the mountain path became increasingly difficult.

He had only just begun, and he already felt like he couldn’t go on...
