My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 51 - 45: Wutong

"Sun Rensheng, have you ever heard the saying, ’Respect your elders and respect your opponents?’ "

The shadow sitting in the living room didn’t pay attention to the young man and simply said, "You shouldn’t have alerted them, nor should you have prematurely provoked Si Yujie and Xia Yue. Do you think Xia Yue is just a name with no real power? You think he’ll call you his buddy? If you really stand in front of him, do you think he won’t turn you into mincemeat?"

"If I had learned to respect my elders and opponents well, I wouldn’t have quit to join this stupid organization of yours."

Sun Rensheng sounded impatient, "You don’t even have a photo; you ask me to kidnap someone, should I just snatch blindly? What kind of dumb tactic is it to rely solely on verbal descriptions and outdated information to make a plan?"

"Alert them? If I hadn’t done this, how would we know what that little girl looks like, or what their power level is? Come on, it’s not the old times anymore, stop living in the past, okay?"

"..."

The shadow in the living room paused before asking, "You saw them?"

"Duh."

Sun Rensheng found that the other person wouldn’t let him turn on the lights, so he impatiently clicked his tongue and felt his way to the sofa in the dark, then sat down heavily, "Without using any ability, I looked at them from afar and already remembered it. Anytime, I can ask a ’friend’ nearby who can draw to sketch it for me... I must say, Xiaoxiao’s figure sure is alluring, she really gives off that ’Wife’ feel while she’s with her kid, tsk-tsk-tsk."

The shadow in the living room didn’t care about the latter part of Sun Rensheng’s comment and continued, "But this also proves Si Yujie is already on guard. What if she keeps her daughter by her side?"

"Are you stupid? Just normalize situations like what happened today. Of course, she will be cautious at first, but if things like this keep happening frequently, will she still be vigilant?"

Sun Rensheng snorted and said, "Keep it up for half a month, if that doesn’t work, then keep it up for half a year; I bet she won’t remain alert forever. Sooner or later, she’ll let the daughter go back to school again, then we can just stage a massive burst, you block her, and then go directly to snatch her up."

"Aside from their top-tier combat power, there’re only three people permanently stationed at Celestial Strategy Trading. If you can’t even handle these three, then just go back to playing your mysterious organization’s meetings."

"But let me be clear first, I’m not responsible for blocking Xia Yue and that Xiaoxiao, I can’t beat them and I’m not going to step in."

"... The Sect Leader of the Longevity Sect will get Xia Yue out of Peng City and stall him; he has no other choice. As for Xiaoxiao, you don’t have to worry, I’ll handle her."

The shadow in the living room croaked, "It’s mainly those other three; Lu Hao was killed by those three."

"Sect Leader, tsk-tsk-tsk, truly old-fashioned."

Sun Rensheng clicked his tongue again, then continued, "I went to check earlier, Xia Panqiu and Wu You are still at the Oozing Blood Stage, while another newcomer named Chen Lusi is at the Incarnation Stage. You already know the authority abilities of the first two, so I won’t mention them. The newcomer’s ability is unknown, but the data shows the authority sequence is only D-Class. If you can’t handle this, then don’t bother to snatch people, just go home."

"..."

The shadow in the living room heard the words and fell silent.

Two Empowerers with Level 2 Authority at the Oozing Blood Stage, plus a newcomer pawn at the Incarnation Stage...

If that’s the case, indeed there isn’t much threat.

Sun Rensheng saw the other person keeping quiet, leaned back on the sofa casually, and said, "No confidence? Need my help? If they leave the building, I can help you stall those three, but you’ll have to pay extra. Considering these three killed Lu Hao... three million."

"Okay, within an hour, don’t let them near the elementary school."

The shadow lifted his head, pondered, and agreed.

After all, being cautious isn’t bad since these three did kill Lu Hao.

"Forget an hour, a whole day will do. You can give me the deposit now, and let me know when you need a mass burst."

"..."

The shadow in the living room paused, then reached into his clothes, retrieved two sapphire-like stones, and placed them on the table. "One of these can make you temporarily an Empowerer at the Oozing Blood Stage."

Sun Rensheng showed a look of interest and asked, "High-quality stuff, whose were these?"

The shadow didn’t reply but instead said, "You should try cultivating by yourself instead of relying on external objects. If you start cultivating now and swallow these two ’Divine Formats,’ it could form a core prototype in your heart."

Sun Rensheng snickered, "And end up like you guys, living like rats in sewers? I’m perfectly happy without cultivating, even daring to roam near Celestial Strategy Trading, can you?"

"..."

The shadow had no response, turned to ask, "Do you need any nearby folklore tales?"

"No need, their whispers are much more useful than those." Sun Rensheng pointed up, directly refusing.

"..."

The shadow looked at Sun Rensheng.

Just one thought.

Giving a Level 1 Authority Folklore System Wutong to this guy is truly a waste.

"Activate the legends away from the elementary school as far as possible."

He left those final words and directly vanished from sight.

Zzz--

As the shadow left.

The ceiling light in the living room flickered once, then lit up.

Sun Rensheng glanced up at the ceiling light and couldn’t help but whistle.

What easy money, just delaying three people, and earn an extra three million.

If I’d known it’s so profitable, why bother working.

...

The next day.

Chen Lu Si returned to Celestial Strategy Trading. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

He found that Si Yujie was not at the front desk and only learned from Xia Panqiu after entering the gourd.

She took a leave to take care of her daughter.

That’s where the conversation ended.

Chen Lu Si didn’t ask further, he routinely started to rub up a Spirit Ball.

Xia Panqiu and Wu You saw his actions, their faces turned a bit pale.

What follows... would be another day mixed with pain and pleasure.

Afternoon.

In between practicing Techniques, Chen Lu Si again made a Spirit Ball for each of them.

This time, Wu You’s reaction upon swallowing the Spirit Ball was more dramatic than ever; not only did he dry heave, but he also tightly clutched the area around his heart.

"... You alright?"

Chen Lu Si saw Wu You’s face contorted in pain and couldn’t help but ask.

But Wu You didn’t reply; instead, his mouth opened wide.

Meanwhile, his veins across his body began to bulge out, blue blood visible, with the spirit surging with it, continuously rushing towards his heart.

He seemed to be mutating.

This process lasted more than ten seconds.

Finally.

Wu You took a sharp breath, the veins across his body gradually receding, restoring to normal.

"I’m okay."

Wu You slightly raised his head and weakly said, "It’s not a mutation, it’s starting to form the core prototype of a ’Stone.’ I estimate that if I swallow a few more, I’ll officially enter the Stone group... Damn, amazing, within a few days you hard-pushed me across the barrier of the Oozing Blood Stage. If your ability gets exposed, I bet they won’t just be after Xiaoyan, they’ll come after you too."

Chen Lu Si: "..."

What’s he even talking about.
