The Only One at the Woodworm Arena!

Luo Zhou lay there, his Dantian's spiritual energy and all his physical energy completely depleted. He couldn't make a sound, as if he were on the verge of death.

Fortunately, the official rescue soon arrived.

Someone spotted Luo Zhou and shouted, "There's another one here!"

"And a young lad too, quickly send him to the Medical Hall!"

Stretchers arrived, and he was escorted to the Medical Hall.

The three Eyebrow-Level Staffs he carried were also sent along.

The Medical Hall was filled with patients.

The Qi Refining cultivator who had escaped the dragon's maw was also there, having survived.

A doctor began treating Luo Zhou.

After a few glances, the doctor said:

"This kid is fine, just exhausted. Give him a Great Strength Pill, and he'll recover quickly. His throat is hoarse from shouting, so he'll need a few days to rest."

The doctor was very skilled. After taking the Great Strength Pill, drinking a couple of cups of water, and resting for a while in the Medical Hall, Luo Zhou recovered.

He gestured to indicate he was alright. The doctor waved him off, telling him to go home.

The medical expenses were all covered by the government.

Luo Zhou staggered out of the Medical Hall, strolling through the streets.

It was still raining, a soft patter. People ran and cheered in the rain, celebrating the death of the Rainy Night Devil.

In front of the City Lord's mansion, a crowd of commoners surrounded the skeleton of the old Crocodile Dragon, watching the spectacle.

Some wept, some cursed angrily, some laughed heartily.

Luo Zhou shook his head and continued his stroll.

The Dead Spirits that used to be seen everywhere in the city were now gone.

Whether it was the Rainy Night Devil, the Full Moon Devil, or the Devil of Geomagnetism...

All the Woodworm Devils had been killed by Luo Zhou.

Not a single Dead Spirit remained!

As he walked, Luo Zhou opened his mouth, wanting to cheer, but no sound came out.

So he started to jump, walking while jumping!

He was happy, truly happy!

Even if he died tomorrow at the hands of the most terrifying Woodworm Devil, today was still a day of joy and happiness.

Back home, Luo Zhou specifically went to a street-side restaurant and ordered several good dishes, along with a pot of good wine.

Although he didn't drink, he had to have a sip today to celebrate.

The food arrived: four dishes, one soup, and a pot of Bamboo Leaf Green.

Luo Zhou ate a few bites of the dishes and took a sip of the Bamboo Leaf Green. The spiciness hit him, but he let out a long breath of energy. The spicier, the better!

Soon, the spiciness dissipated, leaving only a feeling of exhilaration in his heart!

He laughed heartily, though no sound came out. As he laughed, he began to cry.

For the past hundred days, seeing Dead Spirits everywhere and constantly thinking about how to kill Woodworm Devils had placed immense pressure on him.

Thankfully, he had endured it!

And so, midnight arrived.

With a whooshing sound.

Tens of thousands of Dead Spirits appeared.

They filled the sky and the earth, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Luo Zhou didn't know what to say!

They, however, were elated, touching Luo Zhou one by one.

After being touched, the Dead Spirits were finally freed and slowly transformed back into their living appearances.

Tens of thousands of people looked at Luo Zhou, leaving him speechless.

He gritted his teeth, took out incense, and slowly lit it.

These old souls were not like the children from last time; this was just ordinary incense.

"Everyone, words are unnecessary. Your great revenge is repaid, blood for blood, tooth for tooth. It's time for you all to enter reincarnation."

They looked at Luo Zhou with gratitude, thanks, bows, and salutes.

They vanished one by one, slowly dispersing and returning to reincarnation!

Don't underestimate the tens of thousands of Dead Spirit, they disappeared quickly, gone without a trace.

"Luo Zhou, sense the plea for help from the Underworld, a spirit is acting wickedly, punish it!"

"Punish evil, slay Crocodile DragonYue Canglong, good, you shall be rewarded!"

"Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil complete, reward!"

EssenceEnergy entered Luo Zhou's body, and his entire being silently evolved.

This evolution was several times greater than Liu Changlong's previous one.

Vaguely, Luo Zhou's Body Tempering seventh level was on the verge of completion, showing signs of a breakthrough.

Then came the true energy.

Tidal Qi!

Luo Zhou's Dantian was completely devoid of true energy; the Tidal Qi surged in, a hundred streams of energy at once.

The old Crocodile Dragon had lived for nearly two hundred years, devouring tens of thousands of people, its true energy was boundless.

Spirit...

There was no spirit at all!

Only essence, energy!

The spirit had vanished.

It was then that Luo Zhou realized that before the old Crocodile Dragon died, its Primordial SpiritSoul had been taken by Fairy Cui Ling.

Brought back to Heaven and Earth Dao Sect, to be reincarnated!

But it was dead, its skeleton forever left there to be scorned by the masses!

Cui Ling would never see the old Crocodile Dragon again!

The people of Cui Ling would no longer die because of it, and they wouldn't have to fearfully avoid rivers and lakes on rainy days. This was Luo Zhou's greatest victory.

Luo Zhou rested for a while and then fell asleep.

In his dream, he vaguely saw an old Crocodile Dragon, being sent into his eternal sea of fire.

Luo Zhou was speechless. The old Crocodile Dragon's Soul had already fled, what was this?

In his daze, the sea of fire responded, this was destiny.

All life, once it existed, naturally left traces. These traces were called destiny, transcending the physical body, beyond essencespirit, Soul.

Besides the old Crocodile Dragon's destiny, Luo Zhou also discovered several other destinies being absorbed into the sea of fire.

There were about five people, led by the burly man with the saber.

They were all cultivators devoured by the old Crocodile Dragon when it rampaged through the market.

They had been inexplicably absorbed by Luo Zhou.

This meant that, in addition to the enemies Luo Zhou killed, the destinies of nearby deceased beings would also be absorbed by Luo Zhou.

This was not a Soul, it would not affect the reincarnation of the cultivators; it was merely the trace of their lives, and their future reincarnations would not contain these traces.

Luo Zhou couldn't comprehend the specifics, but it was essentially an extra income.

The destinies entered the sea of fire and were refined by it, turning into streams of flames that, as if possessing life, roamed within the sea of fire.

With this, Luo Zhou's boundless sea of fire now contained eleven destinies.

Suddenly, ten of the flames formed by the destinies began to burn fiercely.

They transformed into a type of spiritual fire and spread from the spiritual patterns on Luo Zhou's back all over his body.

Luo Zhou let out a breath of energy. This was exactly the same as the essence refined from the Woodworm Devil obtained from Wang Xianchang's transmission of techniques!

The fire spirits entered his body, and Luo Zhou's entire being silently evolved.

Flesh and bone, senses and meridians, limbs and internal organs, essencespiritSoul, all were strengthened and improved bit by bit with the infusion of essence.

His throat recovered, and he could speak again.

Besides these, with the infusion of these fire spirits, Luo Zhou's innate ability, the Hand of Telekinesis, quietly transformed.

Hand of Telekinesis: Luo Zhou could use his will to form an arm within three feet of himself, like having an extra hand.

This was originally obtained from Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil, but honestly, it wasn't very useful and had been left idle.

Unexpectedly, under the burning of these fire spirits, the Hand of Telekinesis transformed into the innate ability Telekinesis!

Telekinesis! The most common innate ability, but also a very powerful one!

Infinitely more powerful than the Hand of Telekinesis.

This was beyond Luo Zhou's expectations.

As long as he collected more destinies, ten destinies could be burned once.

He could also accumulate a hundred destinies for a grand burning!

The burnt-out fire spirits had completely merged into the sea of fire, no longer existing independently. However, Luo Zhou could sense they hadn't disappeared; they were still there!

They would have a use in the future!

The next day, he woke up and examined himself closely. They had truly transformed into the innate ability Telekinesis.

Now, Luo Zhou possessed Spiritual Power: Dragon-Slaying Thrust, Overturning Rivers Force User, Three Thousand Weak Waters, Nine Bulls' Strength.

Innate Abilities: Telekinesis

Traits: Evil Suppression, Insect Control

Skills: Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil, Keen Dharma Eye, Flash of Inspiration, Consecutive Swift Steps, Flying Pounce, Light Seeking Path, Listening

According to the immortal elder's teachings, among the acquired Spirituality, Spiritual Power was the strongest, followed by innate abilities, then traits, and finally skills, which were the weakest.

Skills were like individual abilities, traits were similar to modifiers in games from his past life, and innate abilities were generally composed of several skills. Spiritual Power was the most invincible and powerful.

Luo Zhou completely defied these principles. His strongest ability was Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil, yet it was merely a skill.

If Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil were to be elevated to the level of Spiritual Power in the future, how terrifying would that be?

Besides these Spiritual Power skills, Luo Zhou also held immortal positions: Hinoki Force User, Overturning Rivers Force User, Sea-Treading Force User, Curse Master.

The Curse Master's frenzied shouting yesterday had activated tens of thousands of Dead Spirits, and it now seemed to be undergoing an indescribable evolution.

He woke up on the third day of the seventh lunar month, the last day!

On this day, everything was finally settled. Luo Zhou had initially planned to stay put, but he couldn't resist and went to the Daoist Academy again.

As Liu Changlong had mentioned, a Holy Son of the Jellyfish Heavenly Palace was lurking within the Daoist Academy, and no one knew who it was!

It was this individual who had caused the sea beast attack, leading to the death of his parents.

Luo Zhou saw the Jellyfish Heavenly Palace Holy Son in everyone. However, after careful consideration, he figured it was most likely a student from Xianya Class One.

Class Three generally consisted of the weakest students. When Luo Zhou first awakened, his declared acquired Spirituality was the strength of one bull.

Students in Class Two mastered acquired Spirituality and were all quite formidable, generally stronger than those in Class Three.

Class One, on the other hand, had only twelve students. Most of them possessed innate Spirituality, and some even had spiritual roots or dao bodies!

As Luo Zhou was lost in thought, Headmaster Zhao approached and called out:

"Luo Zhou, come here for a moment!"

Luo Zhou hurried over and asked, "Teacher, what is it?"

"Follow me. I have a warehouse that needs cleaning. I need you to help me..."

Luo Zhou followed Headmaster Zhao to a warehouse and pushed the door open.

Suddenly, Luo Zhou was greatly alarmed!

This warehouse was exactly the scene Flash of Inspiration had shown him!

Headmaster Zhao looked at Luo Zhou, a faint smile on his face.

Luo Zhou found it hard to believe that the greatest Woodworm Devil in Green Ridge City was him.

He lightly touched the Eyebrow-Level Staff behind him.

"Teacher, so it was you!"

A hundred days had passed, and he had killed nine great Woodworm Devils, but he still encountered a time of facing demons!

His life was in peril!

But even if he died, he would fight with all his might...

Just as Luo Zhou was preparing to fight for his life.

Unexpectedly, Headmaster Zhao said, "What is 'it was me'? Yours?

You just clean this place. There are magical artifacts here, and I don't trust others with them."

With that, Headmaster Zhao left the warehouse and disappeared.

Luo Zhou was so scared he almost peed himself. It turned out it wasn't the teacher.

He gasped for air, wanting to find a place to sit down.

Then, as he rummaged around, he accidentally pulled off a red cloth, revealing a bronze mirror wrapped within.

Looking closer, the bronze mirror clearly reflected a young man.

A handsome young man, slender like a pine or bamboo, with fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of eyes that shone with spirit...

It was Luo Zhou himself. He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded, greeting himself.

The Luo Zhou in the mirror smiled back at him.

Seeing his reflection smile, Luo Zhou also began to smile, and the Luo Zhou in the mirror nodded back at him!

The delay was too long! Was this haunted?

Luo Zhou was shocked!

A voice seemed to appear by his ear!

"Woodworm Devil" Ritual!

Duration: One Hundred Days. Location: Green Ridge City. Participants: All Woodworm Devils. Method: Annihilation. Ritual Trait: Gu Dou!

Heaven as the curtain, earth as the plate, life as the grain, and the worm as the Devil!

Ritual complete, Luo Zhou, the sole Woodworm Devil in the infested grounds!

In an instant, Luo Zhou seemed to understand something!

Flash of Inspiration: He foresaw that in a hundred days, he would encounter the greatest Woodworm Devil in Green Ridge City.

That Woodworm Devil was currently in the mirror!

It was himself!

No matter what you say, for what reason, or with what purpose, it all comes down to what you actually do!

In the end, Luo Zhou became the greatest Woodworm Devil in Green Ridge City, having consecutively killed seven people, one bird, and one dragon!
