How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 137: The Art of Shape-Shifting Goes Abroad

"Senior Sister, come on, let’s each reveal our trump cards on this race track of Disguise Technique," Lin Xiaosu said.

"Okay!" Blue Demon answered with a single word.

Then, her figure inexplicably began to change, as if a stream of water flowed over her face, her face changed, became a man’s, in his thirties, completely unfamiliar.

Her clothes also changed, a plain T-shirt.

Lin Xiaosu looked at the miraculous sight before him, somewhat dumbfounded.

"What’s the matter? Finally, am I able to shock you once?" Blue Demon’s laugh was full of vigor, a genuine male voice with no trace of voice change. Perhaps she had not altered her voice at all; her vocal cords had thickened physically.

"That’s quite a shock!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Especially two points that stand out."

"Oh? Let’s hear it!"

"The first point is that your hair can actually retract in real."

"And the second point?" Blue Demon was quite interested because the first point was in itself the most inconceivable aspect to her. Transforming into a woman, she had flowing long hair; as a man, her hair retracted. Her hair could grow and shorten at will; this was the real unattainable aspect of modern Disguise Technique, only with special genes could such bizarre changes be made. Last time she transformed into Ding Ruoshui, as Ding Ruoshui naturally had flowing long hair, she only needed to hide the blue luster of her hair, therefore this strange Skill had never been revealed in front of Lin Xiaosu.

Today she revealed it, perhaps subconsciously she also intended to awe Lin Xiaosu.

She wanted him to understand, even if they had clashed once in this area, and she had not come out on top, in this field, she was still the absolute monarch.

"The second point is... Senior Sister, your chest can actually ’disappear.’ From a different angle, could it also be abnormally augmented?"

His gaze fell on the chest of the man before him.

The chest, the typical athletic male pectorals.

The two prominently noticeable mounds from earlier had vanished.

Disguise Technique involves changing the face and changing the quality, but her Transformation Skill, the first stage is physical transformation, overturning all conventional notions of the flesh.

To be honest, Lin Xiaosu was very shocked.

Blue Demon sighed: "Your points of focus really leave one speechless... Your turn! Let me see your Disguise Technique."

Lin Xiaosu’s face trembled slightly, as if there was a wave flowing within his muscles. As the wave surged and disappeared into invisibility, his face had changed.

Still a young man, even the outline was not vastly different from Lin Xiaosu’s own.

His change was a slight one.

But one must admit, the human face is weird in itself—without major alterations to the facial features, just minor adjustments are enough to turn one person into another, at least in appearance.

Just looking at Disguise Technique, his slight changes compared to Blue Demon’s earth-shattering transformation, how could it be anything less than 70% inferior? But in terms of results, both had successfully achieved the objective of transforming into unrecognizable strangers.

Blue Demon is a Master of Disguise Techniques; she naturally knew that whether the process was glamorous or whether the effect was shocking was not the focus of Disguise Technique. Sometimes, it is the subtle changes that reveal true skill, more reflecting the essence of disguise.

She nodded lightly: "Indeed, one can make subtle adjustments internally with True Qi, the finesse of Ancient Martial is impressive!"

Lin Xiaosu slipped into the nearby bushes, took off his clothes, which had all but turned to rags, and put on a new set, which seemed to be a very normal option for him.

However, Blue Demon’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She truly saw what she was interested in...

There were two points.

First, his clothes were covered in blood, theoretically his back should be riddled with scars, but through the bushes, she conducted a visual scan of his back, and although there were bloodstains, the flesh itself was intact.

He had been injured, that’s a fact, and had also healed, also a fact!

Instant self-healing?

The ability for instant self-healing is the most envied ability of Qianlong Warriors.

Such people are natural warriors, and of course, Qianlong also has its share of such abilities.

For example, the so-called "Immortal King" Heavenly Wolf, he can instantly recover from injuries, due to the effect of his "Immortal Gu" genes.

But Lin Xiaosu, he’s not one of the Genetic People, just an Ancient Martial artist.

Can his Ancient Martial arts even somehow parallel the special attribute of the "Immortal Gu" gene?

Second, it was his clothes!

He was just pursuing his foe tonight and did not carry any baggage with him.

At this time of the year, he would only have a thin jacket and a military dagger on him.

Nothing that could contain any other items.

But inside the bushes, he flicked his hand, and a set of clothes appeared out of nowhere.

Where was this clothing hidden?

To her, a piece of clothing was insignificant, but, did it hit the main point of her interest in Lin Xiaosu? What about him intrigued her the most?

It was the last SS-level mission.

The SS-level mission, to retrieve the Purple magic Stone!

The opponents set up checkpoints at the airport and docks, using the Spirit Mirror for surveillance. Theoretically, he could not shield the outflowing True Qi of the Purple magic Stone; it was impossible for him to bring the stone back, but he did it anyway.

What does that indicate?

It indicates that he possesses a strange object or an extraordinary Skill for storing items.

This Skill could even shield against Spirit Mirror surveillance.

Tonight, a seemingly low-end piece of clothing appeared out of thin air, and Blue Demon sensitively caught the connection...

Could this be the "Storage Skill" that puzzled the entire Qianlong?

The person before her was becoming intriguing in her heart...

His True Qi Disguise Technique and her Transformation Skill share the same principle.

The healing with True Qi is akin to the methods of the Immortal King.

Now, another inconceivable "Storage Skill" has emerged - something entirely lacking a point of reference within Qianlong...

"Let’s go! Let’s take a trip to Shan State in Qingmian Country." Lin Xiaosu came in front of Blue Demon, and Qingmian Language slipped out smoothly and fluently.

Blue Demon’s gaze slowly lifted: "How long did it take you to learn the language of Qingmian Country?" She spoke in Qingmian Language as well.

Lin Xiaosu said, "What if I told you it took me three months, would you find that somewhat shocking?"

"There’s nothing shocking about it!" Blue Demon said: "Opportunities are always there for the prepared! Let’s go..."

The two followed a path through the jungle.

At this moment, there was no need for battle. They didn’t need to showcase their formidable presence that could startle every blade of grass and tree in the jungle; they were like two tourists who happened to venture out in the middle of the night.

Many bubbles began to form in Blue Demon’s heart, but it wasn’t convenient for her to analyze them with him.

She said that opportunities are always for those who are prepared – a positive statement, but its reflection in her heart carried a tinge of sadness.

Why?

His learning the Qingmian Language was not something ordinary to begin with.

Qingmian is a minor language, definitely not something one would learn during school days – no student would study a language not used in exams or likely useless in practical life.

The fact that he learned Qingmian Language meant he had to start from scratch.

He knew that Qingmian Country is complex, with too many intersections with neighboring Daxia.

He learned a new language to spy more effectively.

He mentioned three months, which coincided with the timeline perfectly.

The extent of his preparation was meticulous, but Qianlong did not open its gates for him.

Qianlong rejected his advancement and shut him out of their gates.

This...

What were the higher-ups thinking?

Aren’t you afraid of wasting such a talented individual with both capabilities and determination?

Shan State, if only judged by superficial appearances, seemed prosperous and ripe, far from being barren and treacherous, what’s there?

Broad highways, lively nightlife, numerous parks, streets bustling with luxury cars and beauties...

But this is just a facade.

The reality is: drugs run rampant here, most of the industrial parks engage in illegal activities, such as scams and kidnappings - sometimes tied together.

Easy money isn’t cherished, especially by the leaders of scam "projects" and drug lords involved in illegal trade. Would they care about participating in other illicit acts?

Thus, indulging in desires and pleasure with money becomes inevitable.

Lin Xiaosu and Blue Demon strolled side by side into a luxury hotel.

The hotel’s management was purely symbolic, not even bothering to check their identities. Blue Demon casually handed over a few green "Ying Yuan" bills, and the maître d’ swung her hips as she took them to the third floor, asking after opening the door, "Would you bosses like some girls? Locals, foreigners, college students, young girls – we have it all..."

Blue Demon intended to just close the door.

But Lin Xiaosu spoke up: "Do you have any young girls from Daxia Country?"

The maître d’ hesitated: "We have from Daxia, but getting young girls... it’s a bit tricky. The folks in the park are like wolves; any young girl that comes by is usually taken immediately. But, if the boss is willing to pay a high price, there’s always a way."

"Then forget it, not tonight." Lin Xiaosu closed the door.

Turning around, Blue Demon’s hands snapped a small dish-shaped device shut – a top-tier anti-surveillance gadget from Qianlong.

No surveillance was found in the hotel.

Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "Did you hear what the maître d’ said?"

Blue Demon looked up; of course, she heard what the maître d’ had said, but did not understand the purpose behind Lin Xiaosu’s question.

Lin Xiaosu explained: "In this place, once people from Daxia enter, they’re either used in the chain of scams or harvested for organs if they’re deemed useless; virgins are almost extinct... The overall conclusion is, this land harbors an almost perverse malice towards the people from Daxia."

"So, what?" Blue Demon asked.

"Therefore, no matter what strategy we employ, we can do so with a clear conscience!"

Blue Demon chuckled: "That’s why you were beating around the bush. You were worried my identity would hinder our actions... You’re mistaken, do you know why I’m called Blue Demon?"

"Unrestrained?"

Blue Demon shook her head gently: "I wouldn’t dare claim to be completely unrestrained. Issues of right and wrong do give me pause, but outside of home, with the objective as the base, all other matters are just details!"

"Tomorrow, we’ll gain a full understanding of the power structure of this land. Tonight, we should rest."

They rested.

But in this godforsaken place, getting a good night’s rest wasn’t an easy task.

Next door, there was constant yelling; a woman’s voice, particularly shrill.

Such sounds were hard to come across within Daxia, or rather, it was hard to hear them so unrestrainedly...
