23 Chapter 23: 3 Goals
Translator: 549690339
[You arrive in front of the prison door of Cell No. 16 and use the Kun Tian Key to unlock the door. As soon as you enter the cell, a strong gust of wind blows in your direction.]
[You see a deformed middle-aged man, half of his body covered with fine scales and the other half exposed with flesh like a skinned antelope. This is a martial artist whose bloodline has gone out of control!]
[In his eyes, you are delicious food, and he has set his sights on you.]
[Under the control of evil energy, the out-of-control martial artist is fearless in death. Under his crazed assault, you barely hold on for a dozen breaths.]
[You die]
This is today’s third premonition.
As usual, it ends in death.
“I thought it was too simple before, as long as I had the Kun Tian Key and foreknowledge, I could find demons from these cells that I could handle.”
“Now it seems that this blind cat and dead rat approach has a high degree of difficulty. I only have four chances of foreknowledge per day, and I can’t afford to waste them like this.”
Su Nan frowns, continuing like this, even if he uses the remaining two chances of foreknowledge today, he may not be able to find a demon he can handle.
However, he is not without a solution.
He doesn’t know what is in these cells, but someone should know.
Su Nan thinks of the mysterious girl in Cell No. 24 and his eyes light up.
Without hesitation, he heads straight for Cell No. 24.
A moment later, he opens the prison door of Cell No. 24 and dashes in.
“It seems you have already obtained the bloodline you wanted.”
Just as he enters the cell, the woman’s voice rings out in the darkness.
Su Nan immediately says, “I have to thank you for your guidance, senior.”
In the center of the cell, the woman slowly opens her eyes and says, “You must have had more trouble?”
Su Nan doesn’t beat around the bush and directly asks, “Senior, I want to know which demons I can deal with in the cells on this floor?”
The mysterious girl understands what Su Nan wants to do, and after a moment of silence, she slowly says, “This Kun Tian Prison is divided into five floors. The first floor holds mortal-level demons, the second floor holds spirit-level demons, and so on. The lower the floor, the stronger the demons.”
“All the demons on the first floor are of mortal level?” Upon hearing this, Su Nan looks at the woman and asks subconsciously, “Then senior, you…?”
It’s impossible for the woman to be mortal level, that’s for sure.
He doesn’t understand why she is on the first floor.
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t.” The woman coldly says.
Hearing this, Su Nan wisely shuts his mouth, knowing that this must involve the woman’s secret.
At the same time, he thinks of the out of control martial artist that had tried to ambush him before. He was not of mortal level either.
Could it be that the mysterious woman in front of him also wants to use this prison to delay her loss of control?
“This cell is very special. Not only does it suppress the bloodlines of demon martial artists, but it also slowly drains their power. Mortal-level demons will be dried up within a month, so new demons are added every month.”
“It’s only been ten days since the last time the prison was replenished with new demons. Most of them have only two-thirds of their full strength left, but that’s still beyond your reach.”
The mysterious woman reveals more information about the Kun Tian Prison to Su Nan.
Hearing this, Su Nan is shocked: “Only two-thirds their full strength during their prime?”
He had thought that the demons who easily killed him in his previous premonitions were at their peak. But it turns out, that was just two-thirds of their strength.
In light of this, martial artists seem insignificant compared to demons. To defeat a mortal-level demon, he would need to merge at least three bloodlines!
He remembers the bat demon he killed before and realizes how lucky he was at that time.
“Senior, what should I do? I can’t improve my strength without hunting demons.” Su Nan frowns.
The woman’s face remains calm and she says, “Give the Kun Tian Key to me.”
“The Kun Tian Key? What is it for?” Su Nan is puzzled, not understanding what the woman wants with the key. Without much thought, he hands the key to her.
The Kun Tian Key was held in the woman’s hand, her eyes slightly closed.
The next moment, something unexpected happened to Su Nan.
The woman somehow made the silver-white key bloom with dazzling light in her hand.
The light didn’t last long, and when the mysterious girl reopened her eyes, she threw the key to Su Nan and said:
“There are 72 prison cells on the first floor of the prison, and among these cells, 65 of them imprison demons.”
“Among these demons, most of them are not something you can deal with. The ones you can deal with are only in three cells: 15, 28, and 42.”
There seemed to be abilities of the Kun Tian Key that Su Nan didn’t know about. The mysterious girl seemed to be able to check all the prison cells with the help of the key.
In just a short breath, the mysterious girl had already selected the targets for Su Nan.
“Three?” Su Nan frowned.
Out of 65 demons, he could only deal with three of them, making the ratio too small.
This could only mean one issue: he was too weak!
Su Nan quickly calculated that the three demons meant three two-star tasks, which would be 15 Demon Points.
He needed 24 Demon Points to cultivate the Iron Ape Sutra to Perfection.
Even if he handled all three demons, there wouldn’t be enough power to perfect the Iron Ape Sutra, let alone awaken the Bloodline Combat Skill.
Not being able to awaken a Bloodline Combat Skill, his strength would not be enough to deal with other demons. This would put him in a dead cycle of having no demons to hunt.
Unless, he could complete a three-star task.
Su Nan’s face turned ugly, as three-star tasks weren’t easy to complete.
Remembering the task refreshed today, he asked, “Senior, do you know what’s imprisoned in Cell No. 30?”
The mysterious girl glanced at him and said, “The existence in the cell is not something you can deal with.”
“Senior, I’m not planning to face that existence.”
“But I don’t know if it’s aware of me or not. Every time I get close to that cell, I get killed inexplicably.”
This issue had troubled him for two days, and if he couldn’t solve it, it meant that he could only stop in front of the Cell No.30.
“You’re saying that every time you pass that cell, you die?”
“Yes.” Su Nan nodded.
“Looks like that old fellow is completely out of control and can’t control his own power anymore.”
The woman’s voice was very soft, but Su Nan still heard it.
There was a flash in his eyes as he asked, “Senior, are you saying that the being in Cell No. 30 is also a human martial artist?”
The mysterious girl nodded and said, “Yes, that cell houses a very strong senior.”
“Senior?”
Upon hearing the girl’s words, Su Nan was taken aback. What kind of existence could be called a senior by her?
“I don’t know what realm that senior once belonged to, only that he was seriously injured several years ago, resulting in almost complete dispersal of his strength.” The girl spoke slowly, her eyes showing pity.
“Strength almost completely dispersed?”
Su Nan was even more shocked; an existence with an almost completely dispersed strength could still silently kill him when out of control, making him unable to imagine how powerful it was!
He quickly asked, “What should I do then, senior?”
The mysterious girl was silent and didn’t respond to Su Nan, seemingly lost in her thoughts.
After a long time, she finally said, “Maybe you can go and take a look inside Cell No. 30, and you might even gain some fortuitous encounters.”
