The Daily Life of the Immortal King

Looking at this data, Loopy Toad somehow felt that these techniques seemed a bit unreliable – first of all, the names were very strange.

"Will these work? What kind of spirit techniques have names like this…" Loopy Toad didn't feel like typing, and instead directly pressed the voice button to chat.

Little Silver immediately replied, "These actually aren't the original names of these spirit techniques; I made them up. These spirit techniques were initially holy beast arts of the Dog clan. I've seen their ancient scrolls before, but I forgot the exact names. I only remember how to use them, you just have to make do."

Loopy Toad couldn't help scratching its dog head as its scalp turned a little numb. "Do you have other techniques with more normal names…"

"I do!"

Little Silver quickly sent new data and a comment under the document: "This is an entire collection of boxing skills. It's an advanced level five spirit technique. If you can master this, you can easily take on one hundred people on your own."

Level five spirit technique? Loopy Toad felt that at its current level, it hadn't reached the stage where it was able to learn a level five spirit technique; it had to reach first class at least before it could use a level five spirit technique, but given its current progress, it would be a long time before it could cultivate to first class.

However, getting a handle on the configuration of the spirit technique in advance wasn't a bad idea. It was just like a mathematical formula: you might not be able to do a problem before you studied more advanced mathematical questions, but it was fine to recite the formula by heart.

Thinking this, Loopy Toad clicked open this second set of data from Little Silver.

As Little Silver had said, the names of the skills in this second collection were quite normal.

However, because they had been using voice to chat, it was only now that Loopy Toad noticed that the "boxing skills" Little Silver had mentioned was actually "dog <anno data-annotation-id="3d3ed9a9-1fcd-4358-b9fe-4c0256ddd93e">skills</anno>"…

This collection of boxing skills was a combination of seven forms.

From Basic Dog Skill One, Basic Dog Skill Two, Basic Dog Skill Three… all the way to Basic Dog Skill Seven…

Anyway, compared with the previous spirit techniques which Little Silver had sent earlier, Loopy Toad thought that this combination set of dog skills was a lot more reliable!

Firstly, the names weren't odd; secondly, these names indicated that these were a genuine spirit technique of the Dog clan, so Loopy Toad could learn them.

Seeing that Loopy Toad hadn't replied for a long time after receiving the data, Little Silver couldn't help saying, "Let me tell you, this spirit technique collection is very difficult. When I secretly studied them in Dog Saint's secret depository of Buddhist texts, it took me a long time to learn them! If you can't do it, you can ask me, and I'll consider if I should teach you or not!"

Little Silver was very pleased when he said this because he had been bullied by Loopy Toad all this time. This opportunity to retaliate was hard to come by, of course he wouldn't let it go.

Given Loopy Toad's level of comprehension as a former demon king, mastering level three and level four techniques wasn't difficult. But the transition in difficulty from level four to level five was like directly jumping from junior high school geometry to university advanced mathematics… without guidance, it would typically take a very, very long time to learn on your own.

And the most critical point was that when Little Silver had secretly learned the technique, what he had read was the original set of "Basic Dog Skills"; the diagrams he had drawn were extremely detailed. But what Loopy Toad now had was based on what Little Silver had sorted out in his memory, so there might be some key points that Little Silver might have overlooked.

This would undoubtedly be a huge challenge in Loopy Toad's learning…

A copy certainly wouldn't be as detailed as the original.

Wang Ling's book Eight Classes of Divine Artifacts was a good example; some of the magic artifacts in the original couldn't be found at all in the copies sold on the market.

"You want to teach me?"

Loopy Toad asked when it heard Little Silver's smug words.

Little Silver felt like he was onto something, and was over the moon. "That's right, that's right! If you have any questions, you can ask me… I'll think about it! Let me tell you, after Dog Saint was captured and turned into a pot of dog stew, the holy beast Dog clan was wiped out in one go, so right now I'm the only one who knows how to use these Dog Skills!"

Loopy Toad was surprised. "Dog Saint was so tragic?"

Little Silver sighed. "Didn't I already say, it seems that I'm the only holy beast left in this world! Holy beasts are awesome, but when all is said and done, they take a long time to mature. I've been laying low for eight thousand years! Eight thousand years! And it's only now that I have the ability to protect myself."

Loopy Toad: "…"

"Thinking back on Dog Saint… he was indeed tragic that year. Someone spread a rumor that the heart of a holy beast can help a person comprehend the Heavenly Dao, cure insidious diseases, and has other advantages. This created havoc in our holy beast circle. As far as I know, Dog Saint's Dog clan was the first to suffer for it." Speaking up to this point, Little Silver couldn't help the faint grief that flitted across his face and his tone was bitter.

Loopy Toad was curious. "Why? Don't you holy beasts have your own domains?"

The domain Loopy Toad was referring to wasn't simply a piece of territorial land, but was a secret land similar to a small world. In order to preserve their clans, the leader of each holy beast clan had the ability to open up a secret land for their clan to live in.

"You ask me why?"

Speaking up to this point, Little Silver sighed again. "Who asked Dog Saint to simply pee everywhere."

Loopy Toad: "…"

Little Silver: "Dog Saint this guy couldn't help peeing on every pole he saw… in the end, those cultivators searching for holy beasts just relied on his piss to lead them right to the front door. They broke through the entrance to the secret land he had set up and straightaway caught him alive. After beating him so that he chased back into his original form from his human one, they burned down its Daoist temple and captured its Dog clan… Finally, he was turned into stew in front of the entire Dog clan."

Loopy Toad: "Why do you know all this?"

Little Silver: "Because I was hiding in the Dog clan's depository of Buddhist texts!"

Loopy Toad: "… Why didn't you save him?"

Little Silver: "When those people burst in, what could I do? I was so weak back then… If I ran out, I probably would have been turned into stew too! Those cultivators were really too savage and each one of them was an Almighty… you could consider it Dog Saint's bad luck. If it had just been one or two who had broken in, he could still have dealt with it. The main point was that the piss attracted too many people!"

Hearing this, Loopy Toad couldn't help sighing. "For you to have survived until now has really not been easy…"

"That's right! I've always thought how nice it would be if there were still fellow holy beasts around…"

Little Silver said, "It has been a long time since the incident with Dog Saint, but I've always remembered it."

Loopy Toad sent a voice reply. "No one would be able to forget that experience."

Little Silver shook his head. "No no no… The main point is that when those people turned Dog Saint into stew back then, the hot spices they used smelled really delicious… I could smell it from my hiding spot in the depository!"

Loopy Toad: "…"

Little Silver laughed. "So, after talking so much, want me to teach you the Dog Skills?"

Loopy Toad: "No need, I can ask my family's Wang Ling…"

"!!!" Little Silver was dealt critical damage!
