Bai Mao Zai said leisurely,
“Old Master Ye has his own matters to attend to! However, he did mention something before: this semester’s graduation will basically be around the New Year, and he wants you to bring your sister directly to his house to celebrate the New Year!”
Fang Xin was stunned, and the faces of the people next to him showed expressions of envy.
Being able to celebrate the New Year at Old Master Ye’s house was not an ordinary relationship.
Zhuge Heng plunged one hand into the void, and not long after, when he pulled his arm out, he was holding a handful of melon seeds and other dried fruits.
After stuffing them into his pocket, he said, “I won’t say more for now, I still have some things to deal with!”
“Is it still that place in Tianhai District? Are things not finished yet?” Hua Cheng asked.
Zhuge Heng stretched lazily, baring his small white teeth and smiling, “All the different factions have caught wind of it and come sniffing around. When hearts aren’t aligned, things get delayed indefinitely. Yesterday, I even fanned the flames and got two families to start fighting. Enough, enough, I need to go eat melon seeds and watch the show!”
After speaking, Zhuge Heng impatiently vanished on the spot.
The others looked at each other.
They finally understood why this person had inexplicably grabbed a handful of melon seeds—he really lived up to his reputation as the Ninth Division’s Jie Liu Zi!
Fang Xin pricked up his ears and, hearing ‘Tianhai District,’ roughly guessed it was about the King of Calamity. But Bai Mao Zai was in a hurry to eat melon seeds and watch the show, so Fang Xin didn't get to hear any useful information before Bai Mao Zai disappeared.
Hua Cheng called out, “Everyone, get in the car. We should be able to make it back before it gets completely dark!”
It was already past nine in the evening when they arrived at Sky Shield Academy.
After Fang Xin washed up, he lay on the bed, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see his Divine Spring, with a cluster of essence blood floating beside it—the essence blood of the Six-Eyed Deity from Nili Hall.
If he were to absorb this essence blood to upgrade at Sky Shield Academy, any commotion would surely attract attention. So, he planned to take a solo mission in a few days and go to the Seven Killings Sect to absorb it.
He would also meet up with Aili then.
He had indeed encountered people from Nili Hall, but the reasons behind the incidents involving his parents and Aili’s parents were still completely unknown.
During this time, he could further refine his mental strength.
The improvement of perception-based abilities was like a cheat code; it was extremely useful in combat.
Over the next few days, Fang Xin followed his routine, immersing himself in cultivation, unable to extricate himself.
Two weeks later.
Fang Xin took a solo mission and also arranged a time and place to meet Aili.
The mission was just a simple Level 6 task. Fang Xin spent two hours traveling, twenty-seven minutes finding the person, and three minutes completing the mission.
Fang Xin arrived at the headquarters of the Seven Killings Sect, the Ayoba Liu General Company.
During this time, the Seven Killings Sect had been steadily improving.
With Jin Biao and Ma Han, two Level 7 Warriors, in charge, there were no obstacles in the small place of Linyang City.
Fang Xin did not waste much time and immediately began to seclude himself to absorb the essence blood of the Six-Eyed Deity.
After the King of Slaughter disappeared, Fang Xin’s mind gained various precautions for absorbing essence blood.
This cluster of essence blood could help Fang Xin’s combat power achieve a significant boost.
However, it wasn't about getting fat in one bite. Fang Xin’s current Slaughter Talent combat power had already reached Level 7, and his Strength-based combat power had also reached Level 6 Warrior.
According to the old saying, Level 6 was called the Dao Confluence Realm, which meant releasing one's internal Qi into the outside world, resonating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby enhancing one's defense and energy bar.
This explanation was too rigid. To explain it more vulgarly, at Level 6 Warrior, when the internal Qi is released, it's like letting out a fart, which assimilates the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into a foul smell. The higher the talent, the louder this fart, and the larger the affected area. The spiritual energy within this area can then be used by oneself.
As for Level 7 Warrior, also known as the Mirror Breaking Realm, it is when the five internal organs communicate with the outside world, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth protects the five internal organs.
Level 8 Warrior is called the Empty Correspondence Realm, which involves opening the hundred orifices within the body to resonate with the outside world.
Starting from Level 8 Warrior, every Level 8 Warrior Awakened will possess a rudimentary domain of their own. Talents vary, leading to different domain sizes and different levels of control over the domain.
When two Awakened individuals fight, to put it crudely, it's like two Awakened constantly farting. Whoever is stronger, their fart will be smellier, able to forcibly change the taste of the opponent's domain into their own, forcibly making the opponent smell their own stinky fart. Then the enemy can only be held down and beaten.
The improvement of Slaughter Talent is also linked to Fang Xin’s physical strength.
Fang Xin absorbed the cluster of essence blood little by little.
The clone was also beside Fang Xin, ready to simultaneously boost the clone’s combat power. If it reached Level 8 Warrior, Fang Xin could condense another clone.
As time passed.
Fang Xin’s body gradually became red-hot, he was breathing heavily, all his pores opened, and white steam rose from his body, as if he had just come out of a sauna.
His internal Qi diffused through his hundred orifices, resonating with the outside world.
Fang Xin was like a bellows.
The surrounding air generated whirlwinds, creating wind.
During the absorption, Fang Xin discovered that the essence blood of the Six-Eyed Deity also contained a pupil-based Mental Talent skill.
Previously, Old Woman Sun had taught Fang Xin a mental strength pupil technique.
Because Fang Xin enjoyed the feeling of fist-to-flesh combat, he rarely used this pupil technique called Eye of Divine Authority.
Now, influenced by the Six-Eyed Deity's talent and modified by the Slaughter Talent, Fang Xin’s Eye of Divine Authority’s attack effect had also changed.
Activating the Eye of Divine Authority could not only make enemies reveal their true thoughts but also turn them into loyal slaves. Moreover, if an enemy tried to break free from this control, they would lose their sanity and become a bloodthirsty killing machine.
Fang Xin’s Qi surged higher and higher.
Jin Biao and Ma Han stood guard at the door, protecting Fang Xin.
Hearing the commotion inside.
Both of them looked inside.
Jin Biao sighed, “Heroes emerge from the young! Our Sect Master, at such a young age, has already reached Level 7 Warrior! You and I only reached this realm at our age!”
Ma Han ate a fennel bean and took a sip of wine, “Who says otherwise? I must say, we were lucky to meet the Sect Master. He gave us divine talents, allowing us to go further than we originally could!”
Jin Biao said gratefully, “Indeed, I feel like I’ll be able to reach Level 8 Warrior not long from now!”
“Our Sect Master should improve quite a bit this time, right?”
Jin Biao guessed, “At least a peak Level 7!”
Ma Han immediately said, “I think it’s more than that, Level 8 Warrior should be achievable!”
Jin Biao immediately said, “I say, Old Ma, you have a bit too much personal admiration. The Sect Master is indeed strong, and his talent is also very strong, I admit that, but going from Level 7 to Level 8 is not that simple!”
As time passed, it was suddenly noon the next day. Jin Biao glanced at the door.
“This is taking too long, isn’t it? Nothing will go wrong, will it?”
Ma Han replied, “What could go wrong! He’s probably getting a big upgrade!”
“Could he really have reached Level 8?” Jin Biao asked curiously.
Accompanied by a long howl from within.
Both Jin Biao and Ma Han stood up.
Bang!
The door opened.
Fang Xin walked out from inside.
