Spirit Vision Eye

Xu Jie and the others felt somewhat gloomy over the Martial Dao Entrance Examination.

Bai Wei hurriedly changed the subject. "Did you know? Zhou Baiyun sent people to Baoan Mountain again today to look around."

"Oh? What did they find?" Wang Teng asked calmly.

He had long expected this.

Smart people were always prone to curiosity, and Zhou Baiyun was the sort who considered herself clever.

Having failed to get an answer last night, she would definitely go back to investigate.

"I heard from Wu Yuan that they found traces of battle in a forest. Judging by the power, it might have been a fight between Martial Warriors!" Bai Wei said.

"Martial Warriors!"

Xu Jie and Yu Hao were instantly startled.

"There were scorch marks at the scene, as well as some plants frozen to death. It should have been damage caused by Primal Force." Bai Wei nodded.

"They were actually Martial Warriors. Good thing you didn't find that place last night, Brother Wang Teng. Otherwise, it would've been dangerous." Xu Jie said.

Wang Teng nodded.

"By the way, who's Wu Yuan?" Yu Hao suddenly asked Bai Wei in confusion.

"She's a girl I met at the Mountain Villa yesterday. She's really gossipy, her information network is insanely sharp, and she can't keep her mouth shut. The moment she learned about this, she sent me a WeChat message." Bai Wei smiled.

"Did she say anything else?" Wang Teng asked.

"She also said that Zhou Baiyun had only just arrived when people from the City Guard Department came too. But they didn't seem to find anything either. Those two Martial Warriors probably left after they finished fighting." Bai Wei said.

Wang Teng fell into thought. It seemed Bai Wei only knew surface-level information; she probably did not know much more than that.

After chatting for a while, they parted ways at the school gate and went home separately.

When Wang Teng returned home, he discovered several unfamiliar people in the house.

Wang Sheng Guo had also returned from his business trip and was speaking with them.

"The City Guard Department!"

"I didn't expect them to come knocking so quickly!"

Wang Teng's heart stirred, but his expression did not change. He walked into the villa's hall and asked, "Dad, you're back. These people are?"

"Mhm."

Wang Sheng Guo nodded, frowning slightly. "They're staff from the City Guard Department. They came to ask you a few questions. Don't tell me you've gotten yourself into trouble again, brat?"

Wang Teng immediately cried injustice. "How could I? Lately, I've either been practicing martial arts and attending class honestly, or meeting up with friends. What trouble could I possibly cause?"

"President Wang, don't worry. This is merely a routine inquiry."

A young man waved his hand, then stood and addressed Wang Teng. "Wang Teng, correct?"

"That's right."

"I'm Chai Yu, captain of the City Guard Department's Third Squad."

"We came today to ask you about some things that happened at Baoan Mountain last night," the young man said.

"Oh, so it's about that. No problem. Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know." Wang Teng spoke with an enlightened look.

Chai Yu then asked several questions, and Wang Teng answered each one according to the story he had prepared, without a drop of water leaking through. They could not find the slightest flaw.

Especially regarding his poor sense of direction, Wang Sheng Guo even said with amusement from the side, "Don't laugh, but this kid has never known his way around since he was little. Fortunately, we have navigation now. Otherwise, I'd really be afraid that he'd suddenly get himself lost one day."

"Alright, thank you for your cooperation. Sorry for disturbing you today."

Having gained nothing, Chai Yu stood and took his leave.

Once the people from the City Guard Department had left, Wang Sheng Guo pointed at Wang Teng's head with a finger.

Wang Teng grinned. "Dad, you cooperated pretty well!"

"Cut the nonsense!" Wang Sheng Guo glared. "From today on, behave yourself. Don't cause trouble again."

Wang Teng did not explain what had happened. Wang Sheng Guo gave him a warning but did not press further.

Li Xiumei set the dishes on the table and called the father and son over for dinner.

Chai Yu sat in the car while the staff member driving beside him asked, "Brother Chai, how much of what that kid said do you think was true, and how much was false?"

"Hard to say."

Chai Yu frowned. "Based on the tests from the scene, the Martial Warriors who fought should already be dead. There must have been a third party at the scene."

"And from Li Rongcheng's testimony, we know that Wang Teng isn't weak. He has probably reached the level of an Advanced Martial Apprentice."

"But it's simply impossible for an Advanced Martial Apprentice to kill two Martial Warriors!"

"So it probably had little to do with him. At most, he saw the battle site, had misgivings in his heart, and didn't dare tell the truth."

The staff member driving guessed, "Could it be that the two Martial Warriors perished together, and then he got to pick up the spoils?"

"Have you read too many novels? If such a good thing really happened, why haven't I ever run into it?" Chai Yu rolled his eyes.

"Hehe, Brother Chai, you don't know. This kind of plot is popular in novels these days. It feels so satisfying to read!" The staff member chuckled.

"Just drive your car already."

Chai Yu scolded him with a laugh, then could not help sighing.

"Sigh, Li Rongcheng and Wang Teng are both Advanced Martial Apprentices. They have hopes of becoming Martial Warriors in the future, and neither the Li Family nor the Wang Family is ordinary. We can't go too far."

"Besides, both Martial Warriors' belongings are gone, and their phones have disappeared too. We don't even know their identities, so there's nowhere to start investigating. This will probably become an unsolved case."

"That's true. Ever since we connected with the Otherworld, it's become difficult to keep track of Martial Warriors' disappearances and deaths." The staff member sighed as well.

After dinner, Wang Teng took the Backpack containing the Egg back to his bedroom while his parents were not paying attention.

He took out the Egg, placed it in the incubator, turned on the switch, and let it incubate slowly.

He lay on the bed with both hands behind his head.

After spacing out for a while, he suddenly leaped up from the bed and fetched a mirror.

Facing the mirror, he activated his Spiritual Sight Talent with both eyes. Then, he saw what seemed to be a thin black membrane covering his pupils...

"Why does this look like I'm wearing colored contacts?"

"Hm? There's even a bit of Red Light deeper inside!"

"Good grief, why does it seem a little like a crow's eyes?!"

Wang Teng observed carefully and immediately felt rather depressed. Surely his eyes would not really turn into crow eyes?

"Sigh, I wonder what kind of ability this Spiritual Sight Talent actually is?"

Wang Teng sighed. His gaze swept across the room, then suddenly halted when it landed on the Egg in the incubator.

"This is..."

With his Spiritual Sight Talent activated, the Egg was fiery red all over, like a ball of burning flame.

"Fire Source Power!"

"Could this be the effect of the Spiritual Sight Talent? Can it see Primal Force?"

Wang Teng's imagination ran wild as he guessed.

"That Giant Crow was able to find East Sea and ultimately lock onto me. Perhaps it relied on this kind of talent."

"This talent came from the Giant Crow. Compared to it, mine is only a weakened version. It still needs further development."

"But this talent is truly pretty good. Through these eyes, I can see Primal Force and thus judge the strength of other Martial Warriors!" Wang Teng murmured thoughtfully.

Having found a new quarry, he studied it eagerly for quite some time. Only when his eyes felt sore and his head grew somewhat heavy did he have no choice but to put away his Spiritual Sight Talent.

"What's going on? My head feels a little dizzy!"

"Could it be..."

Wang Teng was somewhat surprised. He summoned the Attribute Panel and saw several words after the Spirit stat: (overconsumption).

"The Spiritual Sight Talent actually consumes Spirit!"

"Looks like I can't use it without restraint."

Wang Teng rested for a while before the heavy feeling in his head gradually faded.

"At present, I only know that the Spiritual Sight Talent can see Primal Force. I wonder whether it has any other abilities?"

Wang Teng thought it over and decided to pay closer attention in the future. This Spiritual Sight Talent had great potential and had to be a key focus.
