King of Assassins-Chapter 186 - 175: Don’t Want to Try Anymore

In the eyes of many, Mingjing City must be hiding some earth-shattering secret.

Either a treasure, or some world-class marvel.

Therefore, despite all the chaos Blood Shadow caused, he refused to leave Mingjing City.

From the Black Dragon Association to the Divine Shield Group, and then to Luojia, Blood Shadow’s series of actions seemed like a cleanup.

Supporting Wei Yue was also to establish a stable local relationship, making it convenient for him to work. This is a common speculation among many advanced think tanks.

Since Luojia disappeared, various forces have dispatched a large number of personnel to infiltrate Mingjing City.

Of course, all sides were restrained. No one dared to send experts. No one dared to directly investigate Blood Shadow.

Gong Hao left quietly, but Xiao Wan stayed ostentatiously, often wandering around Yuanlong Mansion.

Because of Xiao Wan’s special status, Wei Yue couldn’t turn her away. He could only let her do as she pleased.

Fortunately, after a painful lesson, Xiao Wan became more measured in her actions, not as arrogant as before. freēwēbnovel.com

Wei Ming and the others knew very well that Xiao Wan must have been taught a lesson by Blood Shadow, which is why she was so well-behaved.

But this woman was really bold, daring to stay in Mingjing without leaving.

Although Xiao Wan wandered around Yuanlong Mansion daily, she discovered nothing. However, her perseverance kept her from becoming discouraged.

Xiao Wan privately had a conversation with Wei Yue, requesting to move into Yuanlong Mansion. Wei Yue didn’t like Xiao Wan but had to give face to the Xiao Family.

Since then, Xiao Wan lived in Yuanlong Mansion, becoming neighbors with Yan Qingfeng and Yan Qingge.

Yan Qingge took a strong dislike to Xiao Wan. Living next door, they inevitably ran into each other.

As a result, the two unavoidable clashed in a bout.

Xiao Wan thought she could easily handle Yan Qingge, but was surprised at the exquisite brilliance of Yan Qingge’s Flying Swallow Sword. The last sword even wounded her.

The two armored for a true sword fight, a complete live battle.

The two female swordsmen recognized each other’s strength and reevaluated one another.

The most important thing was that they both were interested in a mutual subject: Blood Shadow.

Therefore, these two not very chatty female swordsmen surprisingly became friends.

Even Yan Qingfeng was surprised. How did these two proud women come together?

Upon learning this, Wei Yue also sighed with relief. Xiao Wan’s strong background represents the military. She truly worried about something happening to Xiao Wan.

Now it’s good, with Yan Qingge together, they can restrain each other. Blood Shadow and the Yan Family also had some secret transaction, and Yan Qingge already had a different view of her. This also added a layer of protection for Xiao Wan.

For this, Wei Yue specially inquired Blood Shadow for his opinion.

Gao Xuan’s answer was simple: ignore it.

Without Gong Hao, without the Turtle Shell River Map, no matter how much Xiao Wan and the others stirred up, it was useless.

With such a big incident, for the military to send a representative to supervise and investigate the case was a normal procedure.

As for other forces, Gao Xuan was even less interested in them. These guys were like wild dogs smelling blood, thinking there were benefits in Mingjing City and all wanted a piece of the pie.

In fact, Gao Xuan stayed because he wanted to attend university here.

This reason was beyond anyone’s expectation.

At the end of September, the university Sword Dao League was about to start. As the main marshal of the Sword Dojo, even if not training, Gao Xuan had to make a gesture of posture.

Having dealt with Luojia, completing an important phased goal, Gao Xuan’s heart felt relieved, and he became lazier overall.

He needed to enjoy the leisure after the great war.

Of course, Gao Xuan was not truly idle. In these few days, he had already mastered the Ice Sword Qi left by Ice Sea.

On the other hand, he continuously refined the Celestial Demon Relic with his spiritual power, establishing a stable spiritual connection with it.

The Celestial Demon Relic is not material, nor does it exist in a physical form.

Therefore, each time Luojia was killed, it didn’t affect her use of the Celestial Demon Relic. Until Gao Xuan released the plasma cannon, the instantaneous super strong electromagnetic field caused a massive shock to the Celestial Demon Relic, killing most of her Seven Emotions Clone in one go.

Gao Xuan used the Space Main Cannon because the super strong electromagnetic field could restrain the Celestial Demon Relic.

When Luojia reached the Golden Level, the plasma cannon’s power would no longer threaten her.

Gao Xuan’s spiritual power surpassed Luojia by ten times. On the fifth day of obtaining the Celestial Demon Relic, he finally established a stable spiritual connection with it.

From then on, only he could wield the Celestial Demon Relic, until his death.

The fundamental benefit of refining the Celestial Demon Relic is being able to absorb the spiritual power of all living beings.

For ordinary people, emotions such as joy, anger, surprise, and fear cause intense spiritual waves, releasing extreme spiritual power.

So, when a person experiences intense joy or sorrow, they deplete a lot of energy and feel extremely fatigued.

The spiritual waves emitted by human emotions were almost entirely wasted.

Until the Alien Race established the Virtual Battle Net, where they absorbed all the scattered spiritual power of humans through the Battle Net, turning it into their own divine base.

The Celestial Demon Relic can directly absorb people’s spiritual vibrations.

Just as Gao Xuan refined the Celestial Demon Relic, he sensed thousands of points of spiritual power converging towards the relic from the void.

The most direct source of spiritual power came from the window, where a group of infatuated female students stood. Excited by the presence of Gao Xuan, they radiated a large amount of spiritual power.

The girls’ target was directly him, and thus, in the unseen realm, they established a subtle connection with him and the Celestial Demon Relic.

This connection was incredibly secretive, and even though Gao Xuan was the master of the Celestial Demon Relic, he couldn’t sense the channel of connection between them.

This spiritual power fell like a slight drizzle from the void, gathering into the Celestial Demon Relic.

Gao Xuan could determine part of the source of the spiritual power because the girls’ behavior was extremely exaggerated, and they were so close to him.

Furthermore, there were numerous spiritual forces continuously converging from unknown sources in the void.

Gao Xuan guessed that a large part of it was due to Blood Shadow.

Only Blood Shadow had a significant influence that radiated across the Twelve Star Domain. As a student, his fame was limited to Mingjing University. It was impossible to gather so much spiritual power.

Conversely, if the emotions emitted by others had nothing to do with Gao Xuan, no matter how intense their emotional reactions were, without a subtle and cautious connection, he would find it hard to benefit.

Of course, if practiced with the related secret techniques, he could still use the Celestial Demon Relic to seize the spiritual power of others by force.

By the time Gao Xuan went home after school, the Celestial Demon Relic had accumulated a pool of cyan liquid. It was essentially the manifestation of spirituality, presenting itself in a water-like cyan form.

If the Celestial Demon Relic was compared to a standard swimming pool, the accumulated spirituality today amounted to about a small bottle of cola.

Gao Xuan entered the Virtual Landing Pod, logged into the Battle Net, and started a Sword Dao live broadcast.

These days, he had time to broadcast, and the number of viewers had increased significantly. Now, whenever he went live, there were tens of thousands of viewers.

After a few cheeky remarks, Gao Xuan began slicing through opponents as if cutting vegetables, viciously defeating swordsmen from various paths.

He had now reached the Bronze Fifth Rank, which was actually quite a high rank. His opponents were at least proficient in virtual combat on the network.

Yet under his sword, almost all were instantly defeated. Occasionally, an expert could withstand a few moves, but they never lasted more than ten moves.

Gao Xuan’s "Dongfang Bubai" live broadcast in the Sword Dao field had gained some fame in the lower ranks throughout the Twelve Star Domain.

By the time Gao Xuan closed the live broadcast, the viewer count had reached over five million.

Throughout the broadcast, the Celestial Demon Relic collected a lot of spiritual power, and the gathered spirituality water equaled about a large bottle of cola.

This time, Gao Xuan mastered the technique, using the super perception of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada for quantification. Assuming a basic spiritual connection was established with each audience member to his Celestial Demon Relic at one point, on average, each viewer provided him with three points of spiritual power, totaling fifteen million points.

Gao Xuan couldn’t help but sigh. Even if all of humanity watched his live broadcasts and always maintained exuberant enthusiasm, it would still take him ten days to fill the Celestial Demon Relic.

However, this goal wasn’t too distant.

The collection of these spiritual powers by the Celestial Demon Relic was quite useful.

At the very least, it could be used to feed the Godslaying Sword. Once the Godslaying Sword was enhanced to its limits, its power would truly be god-killing.

No kind of armor, no marvel, could withstand the edge of the Godslaying Sword.

Of course, using the Celestial Demon Relic’s accumulated spirituality to feed the sword was the most straightforward method.

The best approach, of course, would be like Luojia, using the seven emotions of all living beings as a foundation to refine the Seven Emotions Clone, ultimately achieving the Celestial Demon Undying state.

When reaching the Celestial Demon Undying level, as long as there was an intelligent being in the universe who remembered Luojia, Luojia could be reborn and revived.

Luojia became a superstar in order to use the Celestial Demon Relic to absorb fans’ spiritual power.

And indeed, with the Celestial Demon Relic, Luojia possessed an extraordinary charisma that could captivate the masses.

A billion loyal fans provided her with immense and pure spiritual power support.

Unfortunately, Gao Xuan did not have the corresponding secret techniques, so he couldn’t play around with the dark arts even if he wanted to.

Moreover, secret techniques depended on innate attributes. Even if Gao Xuan acquired the techniques, he might not necessarily succeed in practicing them.

Luojia had accumulated over a decade before choosing the path of a superstar, which made her increasingly strong.

Gao Xuan didn’t have the time for accumulation, nor did he wish to become a superstar performing everywhere.

This path was time-consuming and laborious for him; it was better to focus on his own path.

Gao Xuan tested the Celestial Demon Relic and felt satisfied with this marvel. The side effect was the need for continuous absorption of human spiritual power; as long as the supply was continuous, there was no problem, which he could fully withstand.

As Gao Xuan was studying the Celestial Demon Relic, a five-colored stream of light spun, and Nuwa appeared out of nowhere before him.

"Xiaoqi, you’re quite leisurely," Nuwa remarked.

Nuwa reminded him, "Don’t forget, you still have to pay the membership fee."

"I remember," Gao Xuan replied unhurriedly, "I killed Ye Qianqiu, that’s four thousand points, right?"

"Yes, Ye Qianqiu is worth four thousand points."

Nuwa proudly added, "I played a role in this matter too. You should share some points with me."

Gao Xuan slumped back, "Sister Wa, I don’t want to work anymore... How about you support me!"
