Chapter 806 - Demon Sealing Groups

"Well'¦ I'm one level away from reaching Spirit King. If I reach Spirit King, perhaps I can'¦"

However, Yan Hara immediately scoffed at his response, "Increasing your cultivation will only help you slightly. In fact, it's the last thing you should worry about in the Demon Sealing Pagoda."

"Did you already forget? The Demon Sealing Pagoda scales to your cultivation strength, so if you grow stronger, so do the demons."

After being reminded of this fact, Yuan frowned and asked, "Then what am I supposed to do?"

Yan Hara smiled and said, "Everything else."

"The Demon Sealing Pagoda takes into account your cultivation and your talents to a certain extent. However, your experience and techniques do not affect the pagoda. If you want to defeat the demon on the fourth floor and beyond, you'll need to increase your experience and improve on your techniques. Oh, your demon sealing aura will play a huge role as well."

"Experience'¦ So I just need to fight more demons?"

"Not just fight demons. You need to fight demons much stronger than yourself. I'm sure you can kill a thousand Lower Demons at your level with ease, but that won't help you defeat a Demon Emperor. If you want to improve, you need to push yourself to your limits."

"Pushing the Young Master to his limits'¦ It won't be easy." Feng Yuxiang said.

Yan Hara smiled and said, "I know, that's why I will personally train you. I may not be the strongest cultivator out there, but I am more than enough to show you true despair. Meet me at the Grand Library next week after the tournament."

"Tournament?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, right. I was going to tell you about it, but the situation with the Demon Sealing Pagoda had distracted me."

Yan Hara then continued, "In three days, there will be a tournament for Master Demon Sealers such as myself, and I want you to be there to witness it. You might learn a thing or two about fighting demons."

Yuan nodded, "I will be there. Where is it?"

"It will be located at the Demon Sealing Clan's Grand Coliseum. You won't be able to get there by yourself, so you'll need to be invited."

Yan Hara retrieved a red medallion and handed it to him afterward.

"This will take you to the location. Activate it with your spiritual energy. However, I should warn you that it would be for the best if you don't bring the exile with you, as there will be many powerful cultivators in that place."

"I understand'¦"

"Anyways, do you have any more questions for me?"

Yuan pondered for a moment before asking, "You told me to strengthen my demon sealing aura, but how does that work? Do I just need to learn as many demon sealing techniques as possible?"

Yan Hara nodded, and she spoke, "Not just learn them'” you need to understand and fully master them."

"But how can I comprehend a technique that I cannot use? For example, I use the sword mostly, but there are demon sealing techniques for the bow and many other weapons that I have never used before."

"You don't need to use a technique to master it. The most important thing when it comes to mastering a technique is comprehension. Of course, it would be much easier to comprehend something you understand, but it's not impossible to comprehend something you don't understand at first. It'll just take you much longer."

"As for using the technique'¦ It would also help you to master a technique much quicker if you practice with it everyday than someone who only reads the technique."

Yuan then asked, "The fastest method to master a technique is to use it constantly, right?"

"Yes." Yan Hara nodded.

And she continued, "In the Grand Library, there is an area that will let you practice your techniques as many times as you want, and there is even a formation in that place that increases your spiritual energy regeneration, allowing you to recover faster and practice more. However, that place is only accessible by Elite Demon Sealers and above."

"Elite Demon Sealer'¦ How far away is it from an Advanced Demon Sealer?"

"It's literally your next rank." Yan Hara chuckled.

"Oh'¦ Then can I take the examination right away?"

"Well'¦ You'll need at least three Master Demon Sealers to witness the examination, but most of them are busy preparing for the tournament, so you'll have to wait until the tournament is over."

"If you want to start practicing now, there is an open area that is accessible by all demon sealers. You can practice there, but you are limited to what techniques you can use'” mostly the destructive ones."

"What about the Demon Sealing Strike?"

"That is fine."

"Okay, then I want to start my training as soon as possible."

"Alright, follow me."

Before Yuan followed Yan Hara outside, Feng Yuxiang turned into a ball of flame and entered Yuan's body.

Sometime later, they arrived at this spacious area where it was simply an open area where people could be seen practicing their techniques out in the open.

"Although this place is meant for demon sealers to practice their demon sealing techniques, it is also a place where demon sealers show off their talents and hope to be recruited into a group."

"What kind of group?" Yuan asked.

"There are many small groups within the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto. Most of these groups consist of four to five demon sealers, and they operate as a team to hunt demons. This is great for newcomers and even veteran demon sealers, as popular groups receive more attention and support by the upper echelons."

"And just for the record, I do not belong to any group, mostly because I like to operate alone." Yan Hara said.

"I see'¦"

"Anyways, you can practice here for as long as you like. Just make sure you don't forget about the tournament. If you don't show up and I lose, I will blame it on you." Yan Hara said to him a moment later.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be there." Yuan said.

Yan Hara left the scene shortly after while Yuan found an empty spot in the area and began practicing the Demon Sealing Strike by using it repeatedly, almost as though he'd become a robot with a single purpose.
