Spirit Reader Secret Technique—Water Wave!

Dragon Blood, a renewable cultivation resource; however, judging by its value of 100 billion, no matter how low its production cost might be, it certainly couldn't be cheap.

Xu Ai returned to her room and took a test tube filled with bright red liquid from her pocket.

This was the unique cultivation resource of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall—Dragon Blood!

Of course, that is what it is called, but it is certainly not real dragon blood.

Xu Ai unbuttoned her top, opened the test tube, and poured the bright red liquid onto her abdomen (why the abdomen? Because other areas were too steep, making it impossible to...).

After applying the Dragon Blood to her abdomen and thighs, a sensation of itching began, which gradually turned into pain.

The kind of pain that goes deep into the bones!

But the physical pain did not bring much expression to Xu Ai's face.

"Huh, could it be a Heart of Infinite Vastness? What is going on?"

She clearly felt the pain, yet she felt as if she were an outsider looking in; this feeling was truly strange.

This situation could only be caused by the influence of Hen Ren.

But that didn't seem right either; no matter how you looked at it, Hen Ren didn't seem like the type to have a Heart of Infinite Vastness.

Judging by the performance of Hong, the Heart of Infinite Vastness should be the Daoist realm of the Supreme Forgetting of Emotions. Compared to the Heart of Infinite Vastness, Hen Ren seemed more like an Innocent Heart—a sister obsessed with her brother who would wait for him until death!

As she thought about this, Xu Ai tried to feel the pain and 'resist' it.

Sure enough, the moment she had that thought, the pain surged violently again, yet she was extremely capable of enduring it and did not make a sound despite the agony.

"Forget it, the improvement from Dragon Blood only brings pain and isn't fatal, so there's no need to resist it."

Xu Ai shifted her state of mind once more.

The Heart of Infinite Vastness was her, the Innocent Heart was her, and the Clear Heart Seeing Nature was her as well.

Perhaps Hen Ren's state of mind had already transcended these three realms and reached some unknown new level.

Just like City Lord Luo in Snow Eagle, his state of mind had already reached a new realm.

After 'hurting' for a while, the pain gradually disappeared, replaced by a feeling of her bloodline burning.

After another while, all sensations, along with the Dragon Blood on her abdomen and thighs, vanished.

"Is it over?"

It actually felt quite fast; perhaps her cell activity was too high, accelerating the absorption.

Xu Ai got up, put on her clothes, and went to the Martial Arts Hall in the villa's basement.

"Hmm? Xiao Ai, you're finally here."

Liu Qingling said with a smile. These past few days, they had been training frantically whenever they had the time, and Xu Ai was the most frantic of them all.

Every time they came to the Martial Arts Hall, she was the first one they saw; they were quite puzzled not to see her today, not expecting that she had simply arrived late.

"I'm late."

Xu Ai smiled.

"I'm going to test my stats."

"Need help?"

"No need."

As she spoke, Xu Ai had already arrived at the Punch Strength Tester, turned on the machine, gathered her strength, and delivered a punch that carried a sonic boom, landing heavily on the target.

'BANG!!!'

A string of numbers popped up on the tester's screen--'kg'

"Still a bit off, what a pity."

Xu Ai sighed. 12,000 kilograms was the threshold for the punch strength of a low-level War God, and she was just 220 kilograms short...

"What did you do? I remember you were only approaching high-level War General yesterday, right?"

Yu Fei asked in surprise. Jumping a small realm in one go was quite exaggerated.

"I used Dragon Blood, but unfortunately, I'm still a bit short."

"Breaking through from approaching high-level War General to approaching low-level War God in one go is already very good, don't be so greedy."

Yu Fei patted Xu Ai on the shoulder and smiled.

But Xu Ai was still a bit disappointed.

One had to know that with her 20-fold force amplification, those 220 kilograms would have become 4,400 kilograms—that was a huge gap!

Those 220 kilograms might be exactly what could save her life in the future!

Next, Xu Ai tested her speed as well, and it was the same; her physical fitness had landed firmly at the level of approaching a low-level War God.

On the other side, Hen Ren had already arrived at the Chao Lake area, which had also been designated as part of the core area of Number 0551. The reason was simple: the Pincer Crab King and its kin inhabited the lake.

Among the three King-level Monsters in Number 0551, the most difficult to deal with was not the veteran king, the Earth Dragon King, but this newly promoted King-level Monster, the Pincer Crab King. This was because it resided in a water territory, and one must know that in water, human combat power is affected by water resistance.

Even for Hong and Thor, once they entered the deep sea, they could do nothing against the two great monster emperors.

For aquatic creatures, the existence of water is their natural "domain"!

The Pincer Crab King sensed the movement above Chao Lake and peered out from within the depths.

Hmm, a flying human, stepping on a flying sword—likely a Spirit Reader.

Of course, it was also possible that a Planetary Level powerhouse was posing as a Spirit Reader to lure it out of the lake; being ever-cautious, it dispatched two of its War General-level underlings.

Two large, greenish-brown crabs broke the surface and crawled out.

The Ruthless Councilor watched the two monsters crawl out of Chao Lake, clearly kin to the Pincer Crab King.

"Is this a probe? Or do they look down on me enough to not bother attacking?"

The intelligence of a Lord-level monster is already on par with humans, and King-level monsters are naturally the same; whether it was a probe or an act of arrogance, it showed that the Pincer Crab King was thinking.

Of course, it was also possible the Pincer Crab King hadn't even noticed her, and this was just the independent behavior of the two Lord-level crabs...

The Ruthless Councilor shifted her thoughts, and the flying sword beneath her feet split into a series of smaller blades.

Leaving only one piece to stand on, the remaining swords instantly riddled the two crabs with holes.

This was the reason the Ruthless Councilor had traded metal with Hong; she had crafted simple Spirit Reader weapons based on her own inspiration!

What she stood upon was a simple Spirit Reader flight weapon, and the small blades flying around her were simple Spirit Reader attack weapons.

Seeing how fierce she was, the Pincer Crab King decided to play it safe, choosing to stay in Chao Lake and wait for the human above to leave.

"Let's end this quickly."

This battle had to be fought beautifully; it would serve as a great morale booster for the upcoming campaign.

The Ruthless Councilor shifted her thoughts, and the separated flying swords coalesced into a new blade, which shot straight into Chao Lake with a faint, deep blue glow.

The sword streaked into the water as if it were a fish in its element, unaffected by water resistance, and pierced through the Pincer Crab King at incredible speed.

How is this possible!?

The Pincer Crab King was filled with astonishment in its final moment, before feeling its life force dissipate.

After the instant kill, the flying sword did not return, but instead began rapidly slaughtering the nearby aquatic monsters!

This was a Law of Water secret technique created by the Ruthless Councilor herself; because she had no reference, it was very simple, and she called it Water Wave!

Due to its simplicity, its power was limited, but she felt it had great room for improvement.

Once Luo Feng obtained the Babata inheritance later, she would ask him for some secret techniques to reference, modify it, and then she could continue her Water Wave!

"Pincer Crab King dealt with. How is the progress on your end?"

"What? I've only just led my team to the Earth Dragon King's territory..."

Jia Yi said in astonishment, though he realized in the next moment that this was great news—it proved the Ruthless Councilor's strength was truly well-deserved!

The win rate for this campaign had just increased!

"We have just engaged the Golden Monkey King. Ruthless Councilor, please come and support me."

Zhu Xi replied.

Just as a Lord-level monster is always surrounded by a large number of War General-level monsters, King-level monsters are the same; being even more cowardly, they are always surrounded by many Lord-level cannon-fodder underlings.

Therefore, Jia Yi and Zhu Xi had both brought War God warriors along to crusade against them.

"Understood, I'll be there immediately."

After speaking, the Ruthless Councilor looked at Chao Lake. As one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, its area was vast. She couldn't clear out all the monsters in the entire lake in one go, but the core area where she was located had already been mostly cleared.

She retracted the deep blue flying sword back beneath her feet, then checked the map on her communication watch. The green dot was her own position, while the other two red dots were the locations of Jia Yi and Zhu Xi.

The Earth Dragon King's lair was in the main urban area, while the Golden Monkey King's position was near the edge of the core zone.

There was no helping it; the Earth Dragon King had strength, the Pincer Crab King had home-field advantage, and the Golden Monkey King was inferior to them in every aspect.

With 30 times the mental power amplitude and a Spirit Reader flight technique, the Ruthless Councilor arrived at Zhu Xi's location in an instant.

The battle had already begun; Zhu Xi was currently trading blows with the Golden Monkey King, while the War Gods below were fighting a group of Lord-level monsters.

"Ruthless Councilor, please help clear out the Lord-level monsters below. Leave the Golden Monkey King to me."

Zhu Xi held the advantage at the moment; after all, he had the Black God suit and an SS-grade battle blade, while the Golden Monkey King had no major advantages other than being larger than him.

The Ruthless Councilor nodded, splitting her flying swords to directly slaughter the excess Lord-level monsters below, while avoiding those already engaged with the War God warriors.

One had to leave some training opportunities for the people below.
