Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

Seeing Shen Lin's decisive actions, Gao Shenghan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't bother competing with you for a demon of this level."

Shen Lin scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said, "Demons are rare, and if you don't want others to snatch them up, you have to act quickly, it's a habit."

"Demons are rare, huh." Gao Shenghan chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Do you know why the Demon Suppression Division noticed something was wrong in Qiulin County and specifically sent me here?"

Shen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because the number of reported demon cases has increased recently?"

Since he transmigrated here, he has already killed more than a dozen demons in less than a month.

If this were before, Qiulin County might not have had such great achievements in an entire year.

So he naturally thought that the Demon Suppression Division might have come to investigate because of this unusual situation.

But the next moment, Gao Shenghan shook his head, denying Shen Lin's guess.

"Quite the opposite!"

He said with a serious expression, "It's because Qiulin County has had too few demons killed in recent years. Since Lin Youwei became the magistrate, the security of Qiulin County has improved abnormally, and the number of demons killed each year has also become extremely small. The most in one year was only twenty-five demons. Do you know how few demons the other counties in Youzhou kill each year at the very least?"

Without waiting for Shen Lin to ask, Gao Shenghan directly held up two fingers and said in a deep voice, "Two hundred! And that's the minimum! The county with the most demons encounters at least five hundred demons each year, and we even established a centurion office in that county."

After hearing Gao Shenghan's words, Shen Lin finally understood that the rarity of demons was a unique phenomenon in Qiulin County.

Qiulin County is located in a remote area, and most of the people in the county have never left it their entire lives, so they naturally don't know how severe the demon scourge is in other places.

Moreover, even those who frequently travel between Qiulin County and the state capital probably only think that Magistrate Lin is an accomplished administrator who has improved the security of Qiulin County.

Most likely, the Demon Suppression Division of the state capital also thought the same way.

That's why Gao Shenghan came to investigate after such a long time.

"That Lin Youwei is a spy sent by the Myriad Demons Kingdom, probably with the idea of making achievements in the position of magistrate and then ascending to the center of the imperial court."

"In order to give him enough political achievements, the Myriad Demons Kingdom issued an order to those demons within the Great Wei Dynasty, not to come and disturb Qiulin County."

Gao Shenghan said with some emotion the reason why there were so few demons in Qiulin County, and shook his head and continued, "Some time ago, a black bear demon who was seriously injured by me ran to Qiulin County and became king of the mountain."

As he spoke, he nudged his mouth and pointed to the three black bear demons earlier, "It should be the Big Boss they were talking about. This guy acts recklessly and doesn't care about the orders of the Myriad Demons Kingdom at all, which has led to the gradual increase in demon traces in Qiulin County during this period. That's why I discovered something was wrong with Qiulin County and rushed over."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Lin with a smile and said, "But what I didn't expect was that I could meet a good seedling like you in this Qiulin County. An Innate Realm with twelve meridians is rare even in Youzhou City."

Shen Lin quickly showed a hint of shock and subconsciously said, "How did you-"

His face was panicked, but his heart was a little more at ease.

It seems that even this centurion of the Demon Suppression Division can't see that he has opened more than just twelve meridians.

Shen Lin didn't intend to confess to anyone about the unprecedented thirteen meridians.

After all, if it attracts the attention of those big shots, he might become a guinea pig for them to study for the rest of his life.

Gao Shenghan naturally didn't know what Shen Lin was thinking at the moment. Seeing his panicked appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The cultivation resources required to open twelve meridians are extremely large. I'm afraid all the wealthy families in your Qiulin County combined can only cultivate one such existence. It's just that everyone has their own opportunities, and I won't ask too much about your secrets."

"Yes!" Shen Lin lowered his head and said, "This subordinate does have some opportunities, before-"

"Eh." Gao Shenghan interrupted him, shook his head and said, "I said, I won't ask too much about your secrets, I'm not testing you. Besides, there are many people in the state capital who have exchanged enough resources by relying on their achievements in slaying demons to open up twelve meridians. Your situation is actually not uncommon."

Shen Lin nodded silently, but his heart was filled with emotion.

He spent countless demon lifespans to open thirteen meridians, so he naturally understood how many Meridian Opening Pills would be needed if he only relied on medicine.

And someone in the state capital was able to save up so many merit points, which shows how rampant the demons outside Qiulin County are.

If he could join the Demon Suppression Division, wouldn't he have countless demon lifespans at that time?

Just as Shen Lin was fantasizing about that scene, Gao Shenghan smiled and extended an olive branch.

"Do you want to join the Demon Suppression Division?"

Shen Lin nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I do!"

"Why?"

For demon lifespans!

Of course, Shen Lin couldn't say that, so he could only straighten his face and say seriously, "I have personally witnessed the clansmen who were harmed by demons. They only wanted to live honestly, avoided natural disasters, but couldn't escape the scourge of demons, and could only become their food.

I only want to use the swords in my hands to create a peaceful and prosperous world for thousands of people!"

As Shen Lin said this, his toes were frantically digging into the ground, and he didn't know if the person in front of him would buy it.

But the next moment, Gao Shenghan's eyes gradually solidified, and he took a deep look at Shen Lin.

He fucking believed it!

"I am very gratified that you have such a belief!" Gao Shenghan patted Shen Lin on the shoulder and said seriously, "It's just that if you want to enter the Demon Suppression Division, you must pass the trial that is held every three years, and the next one will have to wait until a year later."

"A year later?"

Shen Lin was a little disappointed.

Now he needs to deduce those Grade-Entering martial arts and needs a lot of demon lifespans.

And within Qiulin County, apart from that fake magistrate and the demons of Blackwind Fortress, there are almost no other demons.

After solving these demons, he can't continue to stay in Qiulin County and wait for rabbits, he can only go to other places to slay demons.

But if he can't enter the Demon Suppression Division, first of all, he won't have an accurate source of information.

Secondly, if he goes to other people's territory to slay demons, it will inevitably cause some trouble.

At this moment, Gao Shenghan's next words gave Shen Lin a glimmer of hope.

"However, a Demon Suppression Division centurion like me can exceptionally absorb members, but they need to undergo strict assessment, which is countless times more difficult than the trial every three years. If you have confidence-"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Lin directly said, "Yes!"

"Good!" Gao Shenghan clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Then, I will tell you the content of your assessment!"
