Fire Thief

"Boom!"

Flames erupted in the Cedar Forest under the setting sun, charging straight at the enemy with the momentum of burning everything in their path!

Shisui Sui smiled and waved his hand.

The hand appeared small and fragile against the backdrop of the enormous flames, and its casual movements seemed utterly powerless.

However, with that single swing, the flames were instantly sent flying.

"Call--"

The crimson color, like a receding tide, swept back in the direction it had come from!

The two Fourth-Realm Peak cultivators, disregarding their astonishment, immediately raised their hands and used the little Psychic Energy they had left to protect their vital parts.

Despite being the first to attack, they ended up getting burned and humiliated.

"Cough cough cough..."

They coughed awkwardly, their already injured bodies now seemingly unable to bear the strain, and began to stagger.

"Ahem... Sister Hongyan, you go first!"

"You can't stop him by yourself... cough cough... be careful!"

Before their conversation was over, a sharp, cold glint pierced through the smoke and embers, suddenly appearing before them.

"Call out--!"

The Steel Feathers sliced through the air, creating a sharp sonic boom, and pierced into the shoulders of the two men in the blink of an eye.

Thump! Thump!

The force of the Steel Feathers hadn't dissipated yet, sending them flying backward!

The two slid backward for several meters before finally being pinned to a tree trunk not far behind them.

The red cedar needles rustled and fell, Shisui leisurely through the "blood rain".

He looked at the two Fourth Realm beings with a hint of interest. Just now, he had recognized Song Haomiao by a familiar scent of blood.

Previously, although both of them were covered in congealed bloodstains, these bloodstains were mixed with the blood of other creatures to varying degrees.

The filth on their bodies actually served to dispel the smell of their own blood.

In addition, Shisui has never shown much interest in individuals that are not prey.

He had been watching from outside the Martial Arts Hall and hadn't recognized Song Haomiao.

Therefore, when the two suddenly emerged from the river, Shisui only vaguely remembered that the Human Race Delegation seemed to include them.

But when they are injured in front of Shisui, the situation is different.

With a surge of fresh blood, Shisui easily recognized Song Haomiao's scent.

Oh dear, what a coincidence! It's that "witness" who was sent out to stir up trouble before.

Shisui was genuinely curious as to which Human Race faction had found Song Haomiao first and gained the upper hand.

Perfect timing! I haven't even tried [Spirit Dream Recall] yet!

This person is at the Fourth Realm of the Yellow Realm, a level equivalent to [Spirit Dream Recall], making him a perfect test subject!

Seeing Shisui walk towards Song Haomiao, Jiang Hongyan, who was pinned to the other side, immediately became anxious.

"What are you doing! We are members of the Human Race Delegation to Qiongfang City. If anything happens to us..."

The words abruptly stopped.

Jiang Hongyan vainly hoped that her identity as Human Race Delegation would make the enemy hesitate to act against her.

But is Shisui the kind of guy who's afraid of being wanted by Human Race?

Jiang Hongyan's body twisted along with the space around her, and then was suddenly crushed by the violent spatial force.

Under Song Haomiao's gaze, the Flesh Crystals slowly formed, and an indescribable anger instantly enveloped him.

"How dare you...!"

His shouts were choked back; Song Haomiao's throat was being choked.

"It's so noisy."

Shisui pinched the "white mouse" in front of him and searched for the special Recording Device in the Alternate Space he had created.

As he searched, he mentally complained with disdain.

To be fair, even if you're weak, shouldn't you at least have some self-awareness?

What? You can't even beat them, yet you still want to talk trash?

It's like you're leaving and I'm leaving, as if he's dead.

Shisui took out Recording Device equipped with [Spirit Dream Recall], pointed it at Song Haomiao who was panting and whose face was flushed, and pressed the Image Capture Button.

"Sizzle."

As [Spirit Dream Recall] was activated, Song Haomiao's expression immediately became dazed.

Through the Recording Device, Shisui Sui saw fragments of Song Haomiao's experiences after the Bloody Unified Exam.

Relaxing information gathering, recruiting Reformist Faction, attending meetings as witnesses, becoming an apprentice of Reformist Faction with Fire-Type Talent Mentor...

Hmm, this person isn't of high rank; he knows absolutely nothing about what's going on at the top.

Um?

Shisui discovered something that interested him.

He stopped the Recording Device and, while Song Haomiao was still unconscious, injected [Bone-Deep Rot] into his body.

Then, the toxin takes effect!

Song Haomiao's innate talent also started to operate automatically, and it was vaguely absorbing the [Bone-Deep Rot], attempting to turn the toxin into its own.

Ha! That's really interesting!

The reason he discovered this interesting phenomenon was because [Spirit Dream Recall] was also affected.

Compared to [Bone-Deep Rot], which, despite being merely a branch of innate skills, has reached the Profound Realm level, [Spirit Dream Recall], which is only at the Fourth Realm of the Yellow Realm, is clearly affected more significantly.

Just now, within the Recording Device, there were faint signs that talent was being extracted from the spherical carrier.

This spectacle lasted for less than half a second, but it was enough for Kakugan Shisui, to see it clearly.

He immediately realized the potential of Song Haomiao's talent.

This [Fire Thief] isn't some kind of fire-based talent; it's clearly a treasure capable of developing a concept-level plundering skill!

Are Human Race actually going to train him as a fire-type talent?

His Shisui expression instantly crumpled into a frown, as if to say, "How could anyone be so wasteful?"

Shisui decisively chose to accept both [The Fire Thief] and [The Spirit Dream Recall].

Shisui opened the Alternate Space, which had evolved into Follow Mode, and was preparing to put the two "Miao Miao tools" away.

Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he paused.

Uh, it seems I haven't used the Snow Spirit I brought on [Spirit Dream Recall] yet.

"Tsk, you should protect your head next time you get into a fight!"

That's the downside of having your brain shattered; it will more or less have some reversible negative impact on your memory.

Although these effects will soon dissipate over time after careful restoration by Rc Cells.

But this could still cause delays.

Shisui thinking, Zi Sui continued working, opening the more stable Koukaku Alternate Space containing Snow Spirit.

Before placing the two innate vessels into the container, he first split the Snow Spirit inside in two.

He installed a thick, Koukaku Partition in the middle to separate the two small rooms so as not to affect each other.

Only then were the talent carriers placed into the Koukaku rooms.

Shisui sensed the concentration of Psychic Energy in the current Koukaku space.

He noticed that his Psychic Energy had decreased slightly, and prepared to stock up on some crystals before leaving with the Caravan.

By this time, it was completely dark, and there were still thirteen hours until the departure time the next day.

Shisui didn't linger; with a flicker, he vanished from the spot.

For a long time after tonight, a rumor will circulate outside the city gates of Chen City.

At night, powerful wild beasts roam outside the city gates, hunting down Human Race.
