Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!

Looking at the enormous snake head before her, larger than her entire body, its body thicker than a tree trunk, and its scarlet forked tongue,

Tang Xinyan felt a chill run down her spine and said that her luck was "unbelievable". The first time she actually fought a monster, she encountered the snake, which was the one she feared the most.

The worst part is that it's such a huge thing, and so close! Waaaaah, what is she going to do? What if she gets swallowed whole before she even draws her sword...?

Tang Xinyan was in a state of confusion, her mind racing with countless escape plans. Clearly, the giant snake opposite her was no longer able to restrain itself.

As its pupils contracted instantly, the giant snake opened its blood-red maw, arched its body, and lunged straight at Tang Xinyan.

Tang Xinyan was met with a stench so strong it made her want to yell "Holy shit!" before instinctively dodging to the side.

The snake's head, which had been attacking her, missed its target and instead of hitting the ground, it nimbly twisted its body and continued its attack towards Tang Xinyan's location.

Tang Xinyan continued to dodge, simultaneously calming her mind and summoning Purple Lightning, imbuing her sword with lightning power. As she dodged the snake's head...

Using a sword technique, he swung his sword at the snake's body. With a "clang," sparks flew as the sword struck the scales, and tiny cracks appeared on the scales, which were the size of banana leaves.

Tang Xinyan was not surprised at all. The moment she saw the scales gleaming with a cold light, she knew that their defensive capabilities were extremely strong.

Furthermore, she couldn't discern the giant snake's cultivation level; it should be at least a level three demonic beast. That's why she used all her strength just now, yet the scales only developed some cracks.

If she were at the Golden Core stage, combined with the power of the Purple Lightning, she should have been able to shatter those scales with a single sword strike. Fortunately, she is of the lightning attribute.

Although Purple Lightning cannot currently shatter the scales, it can channel the lightning covering the sword through the cracks under the scales, causing damage to the giant snake.

The giant snake, provoked by the stings, grew increasingly agitated, its attacks becoming ever more ferocious. Tang Xinyan, using her agility, nimbly weaved between the snake and the trees.

At the same time, she aimed for the giant snake's vital spot and kept attacking with her sword. The giant snake realized Tang Xinyan's purpose and used its huge body to cover its vital spot.

As the woman and the snake fought, they knocked down a large number of trees in the forest. Tang Xinyan realized that her footholds were dwindling.

In addition, she always attacked with all her might, which depleted her spiritual energy very quickly. On the other hand, although the giant snake also suffered many injuries, none of them were serious.

Especially her vital spot, which was well protected by the snake, meant that if this continued, she would only be worn down and killed. No, she couldn't fight it head-on.

Although the purpose of this training was to improve swordsmanship, in a situation where it was obvious that they were no match, further improvement would be tantamount to suicide.

After thinking about the various "props" in her space, Tang Xinyan took out several basic immobilization talismans and threw them all at the snake.

Seeing the giant snake instantly frozen in place, Tang Xinyan swung her sword at its seven-inch mark, but the scales there remained completely undamaged...

Tang Xinyan was a little confused. Just as she was about to study it carefully, the snake's body suddenly moved. It seemed that the basic immobilization talisman could only freeze the snake for a moment.

But it doesn't matter, Tang Xinyan has no shortage of support. She threw out a few more basic immobilization talismans and quickly went forward to check.

Upon closer examination, it was discovered that while the scales on this seven-inch section were uniform in thickness and color compared to those on other parts of the body, their hardness differed.

This piqued Tang Xinyan's interest; she wanted to see how many times she could shatter those seven-inch scales.

Therefore, the style of the battle that followed was a bit peculiar. Tang Xinyan threw out a basic immobilization talisman again, and after the giant snake was immobilized once more,

Tang Xinyan used various sword techniques to slash at the snake's vital spot. Every time the snake moved, Tang Xinyan threw a talisman to freeze the snake, and then Tang Xinyan swung her sword.

This process was repeated more than ten times. Finally, when the giant snake realized something was wrong and tried to escape, Tang Xinyan shattered the scales at its seven-inch mark.

As the saying goes, "strike while the iron is hot," Tang Xinyan took a Rejuvenation Pill and then unleashed her strongest attack, slicing the giant snake in two at its vital point.

Seeing the two motionless snake bodies on the ground, Tang Xinyan didn't rush forward to investigate. She knew that many animals were venomous.

They all like to feign death after suffering a fatal blow, then sneak up on the enemy to deliver a poison attack when the enemy comes to check.

Although the giant snake wasn't venomous, its enormous mouth made Tang Xinyan warily step aside, sit down on the ground, and meditate to regulate her breathing.

Only after her spiritual energy had fully recovered and she saw that the giant snake had almost bled out did Tang Xinyan step forward to check on it.

After confirming that the giant snake was indeed dead, Tang Xinyan found an empty storage ring, put the snake's body into the ring, and planned to sell it after the training was over.

Although she didn't recognize the species of the snake, given the defensive capabilities of its scales, it should be considered an excellent material for refining weapons.

As for the snake meat, there might be some who enjoy it. However, the matter of selling raw materials did remind Tang Xinyan of something.

She should find some books about the monsters, demons, and ferocious beasts of this world to read, even though the original owner had quite a few combat memories.

However, the original owner never systematically learned about the value of these beasts, as he either handed them over or gave them to Liu Yinyin after each battle.

As Tang Xinyan was pondering this, a figure suddenly appeared before her. Upon seeing that it was Xiao Yimo, Tang Xinyan quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Master, why have you come out?"

Xiao Yimo cast a cleansing spell on Tang Xinyan before saying with satisfaction:

"You did very well just now. Although you used a talisman, it's great that you were able to fight a higher-level opponent in your first real battle."

Tang Xinyan was overjoyed to be recognized by her master and said with a grin:

"Thank you for the praise, Master. Your disciple will certainly continue to work hard."

Xiao Yimo nodded and said:

"However, there are naturally shortcomings as well. Although you are skilled in your sword techniques, there are still some issues with the strength and point of force."

Just like when you split the scales, with your strength and the power of the Purple Lightning, you should have shattered ordinary scales in two moves.

But because of the wrong point of contact and the wrong amount of force, you almost had to put in twice the effort. For the next fight, focus on studying this aspect first.

Tang Xinyan knew that the point Xiao Yimo made could only be understood through continuous practice, so she nodded and said earnestly:

"Master, your disciple has remembered."

Thinking of the monster from earlier, Tang Xinyan added:

"Master, that giant snake wasn't a ferocious beast, so does that mean it doesn't count as a performance record, uh, no, a result?"

Xiao Yimo paused, then smiled slightly and said:

"Logically, it shouldn't count, but considering it's your first battle and you're challenging someone of a higher level, let's include this blue-brown python in the results."

Tang Xinyan was about to cheer when she heard Xiao Yimo say again:

"However, I must remind you that you need to speed up your progress, otherwise at the current pace, you may not be able to catch up with the once-in-a-decade Azure Wind Secret Realm."
