“Let Big Black evolve!” Shu Feng ordered.

Big Black walked into the Soldier Synthesis Nest, and a large amount of mucus gushed out, surrounding it, and formed a mysterious black egg that radiated flickering light, as if the beating of a heart.

Beiling Street, Flameguard’s headquarters.

Gao Wen reported: “Captain, this is the state of things.”

Zhou Yang frowned and uttered, “Jie Demonic Cult? It seems that we’ll have to invite Heavenly Sword!”

Heavenly Sword is the most elite spirit user combat unit of Flameguard. Every member of Heavenly Sword is at least a Great Spirit Master realm powerhouse and possesses amazing combat power.

Zhou Yang’s team is an organization responsible for maintaining the law and order of spirit users, while Heavenly Sword is the main force tasked with dealing with cults such as Jie Demonic Cult.

Gao Wen’s eyes flashed with an enigmatic shade, and asked, “Captain, Jie Demonic Cult still hasn’t expanded. Why doesn’t our team go look for them and take care of them?”

Wicked extraordinary organizations such as Jie Demonic Cult are arch-enemies of Flameguard. If one exterminates such an evil organization, one will be able to receive a great number of contribution points.

Zhou Yang shook his head and refused categorically: “No! Even with the help of our headquarters’ secret treasures, we can just barely cope with a Great Spirit Master realm being. Jie Demonic Cult has many powerhouses. To be on the safe side, we’d better call Heavenly Sword to deal with them. We’ll mainly carry out information collection.”

Gao Wen pondered for a moment and nodded.

Gao Wen said, “Captain, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave.”

Zhou Yang said, “You may go!”

When Gao Wen left the office, Zhou Yang thought to himself: “Leijiang City is poor in resources, so how did it attract Jie Demonic Cult?”

A few hours later, in the mysterious base space.

Crack!

A crisp sound sounded, and the black egg inside the Soldier Synthesis Nest cracked.

Black gas surged, and Big Black came out of the black egg. Its size didn’t change. However, it is now more muscular, black gas is circling it, it has a small black horn 1 centimeter long in the center of its forehead, its eyes are shot with blood, its claws are as sharp as iron hooks, and it’s exuding a menacing aura from all over its body.

“Big Black, strength 18 (+6), agility 20 (+6), defense 17 (+5), psyche 14 (+4), physique 16 (+4).”

“Must consume 80 kilograms of meat every day to maintain peak fighting strength. Special abilities: Hollow Invisibility, Extraordinary Sense of Smell, Extraordinary Perception. Fighting strength assessment: level-9 Apprentice Spirit Warrior.”

Shu Feng’s eyes flashed with excitement and filled with expectation: “Big Black got stronger again! If it continues to evolve, I will soon have a Spirit Warrior realm hollow demon.”

A Spirit Warrior realm powerhouse can become an official member of Flameguard. The monthly salary of a level-1 Spirit Warrior is 200,000 credits and 20 contribution points.

A few days later, Shu Feng’s mission evaluation was released. He received a bonus of 20 contribution points and 100,000 credits, which he used to buy 20 Primary Spirit Cultivation Pills.

Shu Feng was pleasantly surprised when he consumed the Primary Spirit Cultivation Pills. The first Primary Spirit Cultivation Pill he consumed raised his spirit force increment to 1 point, and then the effect slowly declined. After going through evolution twice, his cultivation aptitude has become increasingly more formidable.

Zhong Jietong returned to school 3 days later. She had been adopted by her uncle. She has a gloomy look on her face. Her memory has been tampered with, to her parents dying in a traffic accident. Understandably, it’s hard for her to extricate herself from her sorrow in such a short period of time.

10 days later, after morning reading [1], Zou Qiang, the class president of class 53, went to the podium.

Zou Qiang uttered in a loud voice, “Come on, pay up! Everybody, hand over the money. We’re going to hire a charter bus and buy things this afternoon.”

Leijiang No. 3 Middle School has a tradition in spring, a month before the high school entrance examination, to let everyone relax, hold a final group activity before graduation, and make good memories.

Everyone in the class walked over with a 100-credit bill and put it in a box.

Shu Feng went up.

Xu Gang, Wang Mo, and Zhou Changfeng looked at each other and smiled coldly.

After the afternoon PE class, everyone returned to the classroom.

“Where’s the money! The money is gone! The money I put in my desk is missing! Who was it? Who took the money?”

Zou Qiang went to his desk, and then immediately turned pale and shouted.

Since Class 53 has 40 students, the funds for the spring excursion are 4,000 credits, which is a large sum of money for ordinary students.

Wang Mo jumped out, pointed to Shu Feng, and shouted, “Who, who stole everyone’s money! Shu Feng, was it you? Your family is the poorest of our class! It must be you! You must have stolen everyone’s money to support your family!”

Puzzled gazes focused on Shu Feng. Among the students in class 53, Shu Feng’s family is indeed the poorest.

Lin Jia slapped a desk, pointed to Wang Mo, and shouted, “Wang Mo, why are you barking so much? Are you saying that anyone who’s poor steals? Compared to Zhong Jietong’s family, your family is poor, as well. I think you stole everyone’s money to spend on frivolous things. With your shifty look, one can tell what sort of person you are!”

“Lin Jia, let’s not argue with this lunatic, or else we’ll be dragged down to his level.”

Shu Feng said to Zou Qiang, a calm look on his face, “Zou Qiang, since 4,000 credits have been stolen, it is enough to make a report to the police! Let’s have the police investigate.”

Zou Qiang’s expression changed slightly, and he hesitated: “Calling the police! Wouldn’t that be too much?”

Wang Mo shouted, “Shu Feng, I think that you’re just deflecting! Let us search your desk! Of course, you can also search my desk later! Let’s see which of us is really the thief!”

Zhou Changfeng suddenly rushed over, inserted his hand into Shu Feng’s desk, and pulled, and a box and some books fell out one after another.

“Here it is! Here’s the money! It’s Shu Feng! He’s the one who stole everyone’s money! He’s the thief!”

Zhou Changfeng grabbed the box, held it high, pointed to Shu Feng, and shouted thusly.

Xu Gang’s eyes glimmered frigidly, and he smiled coldly and mused: “Shu Feng, you’re a thief now! You dared to hit me! I will ruin your future!”

After being beaten by Shu Feng that day, Xu Gang has been harboring resentment towards the other party all this time. Since he can’t beat Shu Feng, he was waiting for a chance to frame him.

“Shu Feng, I beg you, help me take revenge! Didn’t you like me? If you help me take revenge, destroy Jie Demonic Cult, and kill them all, then I’ll be your girlfriend, no, I’ll be your woman! You can do anything you want with me!”

Eyes shot with blood, tears streaming down her face, Zhong Jietong turned around and shouted herself hoarse.

With a flash of sympathy in his eyes, Shu Feng pressed his hands on Zhong Jietong’s shoulders and said, “Zhong Jietong, calm down! I’m currently not a match for Jie Demonic Cult. An expert of theirs can easily kill me.”

Jie Demonic Cult is one of the Qianyuan Republic’s demonic cults, and its strength is absolutely unfathomable. Shu Feng is currently just a small fry that hasn’t even reached the Spirit Warrior realm. If the other party sends a Spirit Warrior realm expert, they can easily kill him.

Zhong Jietong’s eyes shot with blood, and she shouted like a madman: “I can wait! Whether it’s 10 years or 20 years! As long as you promise me! I’ll be your woman! As long as you promise to take revenge for me, I’ll do anything for you.”

Shu Feng couldn’t help but crease his eyebrows. If it was before he awakened and become a spirit user, Shu Feng blinded by his feelings might have recklessly promised her.

But ever since he awakened, Shu Feng understood that Zhong Jietong doesn’t like him at all. Even if he promises to take revenge for her, although he will be able to obtain her, but he won’t be able to get her heart. Furthermore, he doesn’t love her fervently like before.

“Have a good sleep and calm down!”

Shu Feng pressed his hands against Zhong Jietong’s neck slightly and sent a wisp of spirit force into her body, and she fainted and fell into his arms.

Ding Xiaoxue smiled sweetly and asked, “I thought you would promise her. Didn’t you like her?”

“Yes, I liked her. I liked her very much before. But when it comes to matters of the heart, it’s most wonderful when the feelings are reciprocated. She doesn’t like me. Even if I take revenge for her, she still won’t like me. Then what’s the point?”

“Besides, her memories will be sealed anyway. I would be a fool if I made a promise with her.” Shu Feng uttered, feeling upset.

Ding Xiaoxue smiled lightly and asked with an emotive shade in her eyes, “You liked her very much before, so what about now?”

Shu Feng answered, “Now she is just an ordinary classmate of mine.”

A dozen plus minutes later, Flameguard’s hypnotist Gao Wen arrived.

Gao Wen frowned slightly and said with a solemn expression, “You two solved this case! Well done! However, young ones, the next time you find yourself in such a situation, call for support. I’ve seen many geniuses who worked hard for the sake of contribution points, yet ultimately ended up dying at the hands of hollow demons. I don’t want to see you in the morgue.”

In Flameguard, Spirit Warriors are official members, while Apprentice Spirit Warriors are only reserve members. The role of Apprentice Spirit Warriors is to collect information about hollow demons or abnormal supernatural events and report them to the higher-ups. Fighting, however, is the responsibility of official members.

I said that we should call for support!

Shu Feng gazed at Ding Xiaoxue with an innocent look on his face.

If Ding Xiaoxue hadn’t insisted on them dealing with this case themselves, Shu Feng would rather get fewer contribution points, call for support, and develop slowly.

Ding Xiaoxue turned into a goody two shoes and admitted her mistake obediently: “Big brother Gao Wen, I know I was wrong!”

Gao Wen shook his head, then went to Zhong Jietong and began to hypnotize her.

Shu Feng asked anxiously, “Big brother Gao Wen, Zhong Jietong’s parents are dead. What will happen to her?”

Gao Wen said: “Zhong Jietong still has her uncle’s family. I will hypnotize them and have them serve as Zhong Jietong’s guardians. The Zhong family is quite rich, so her tuition and living expenses should be covered until she graduates from university.”

After the matter with the Zhong family was settled, Shu Feng went straight home and had a nice sleep, and then entered the mysterious base space to take inventory of this time’s harvest.
“Soul force 50, psionic energy 2,000, spirit force 421, evil god force 0.72.”

Shu Feng looked at the displayed resources, and his eyes glimmered with excitement: “Not bad. Psionic energy is still a little lacking, or else Big Black would be able to directly evolve into a Spirit Warrior realm Black Dog Hollow!”

Once Big Black evolves into a Spirit Warrior realm Black Dog Hollow, Shu Feng’s fighting strength will be increased by a large chunk, and he’ll be able to become an official member of Flameguard.

A prompt emerged at once: “Should the evil god force and the current resources be used to have Big Black evolve into a complete Black Dog Hollow?”

Shu Feng rejected decisively, “No! Use the evil god force and the current resources to make me evolve! Upgrade my physical constitution and spirit force increment!”

By upgrading his physical constitution, Shu Feng’s movements will become more nimble and his cultivation and learning will become faster. By upgrading the spirit force increment, he’ll be able to enter the elite class or even the genius class of Shuijing High School in the future and obtain more resources.

“Please enter the Soldier Synthesis Nest!”

Shu Feng strode into the Soldier Synthesis Nest, and a large amount of mucus ejected and enveloped him, forming a mysterious egg.

A mysterious force poured into the mysterious egg through tubes and nourished Shu Feng in the egg.

Crack!

A few hours later, the mysterious egg suddenly cracked, and a large amount of mucus scattered on the floor. Shu Feng opened his eyes, and his eyes glimmered brightly.

“Host, Shu Feng.”

“Strength 13 (+1), agility 12 (+1), defense 13 (+1), physique 13 (+1), intelligence 14 (+1), psyche 16 (+1).”

“Charm 3 (+1), spirit force 46 (+31), soul force 7 (+3).”

Shu Feng’s eyes brightened and flashed with excitement: “My physical constitution has improved by a large chunk again, while my spirit force has reached 46 points. This means that I am now a level-5 Apprentice Spirit Warrior. I can already enter the elite class of Shuijing High School! If I continue to try hard, maybe I can enter the genius class of Shuijing High School!”

After awakening, Shu Feng only had 1 point of spirit force. He was an ordinary spirit user through and through. Yet now he has hopes to enter the genius class of Shuijing High School. This naturally makes him feel excited.

“How much has the spirit force increment increased?”

“At present, it is estimated that each time host practices the Spirit Cultivation Method 2.0, the spirit force increment will be 0.1.”

Shu Feng’s eyes flashed with a burning color, and he mused, “Each time I practice cultivation, the spirit force increment will be 0.1! This is pretty good! As long as I evolve step by step, then one day I will be able to compete with truly gifted spirit users!”

“Soul force 35, psionic energy 2,000, spirit force 321.”

Shu Feng’s willed, and the remaining extraordinary resources emerged.

Godly Base – 26

26 – Jie King

“Go!”

Shu Feng barked and waved his hand, and a bulky tiger appeared and lunged at the black-haired girl-form hollow demon.

Ma Jin is a big shot in Leijiang City’s underworld and has a vast network of connections. Upon Shu Feng’s request, Ma Jin sent 100 ml vials of blood from different animals from Leijiang City’s zoo.

The tiger is Shu Feng’s trump card.

“Beast tamer? You awakened a really interesting ability! Thank you for giving me this big cat!”

The black-haired human-shaped hollow demon smiled. Next, its figure fluttered, and it turned into a streak of black light and pounced on the tiger.

The tiger’s body stiffened. Shortly after, its muscles bulged, its fangs protruded, its body expanded, its eyes shot with blood, and it emanated a fierce aura.

“Shu Feng, cover me! Heart Moon Flow Sword Art! Moon Flash!”

Ding Xiaoxue’s beautiful eyes flashed coldly, and she shouted, surged with spirit force, took a sudden step, and unleashed a sword strike, which streaked across the tiger’s body as if a bright ray of moonlight.

In an instant, the tiger turned into numerous pieces.

“Wretched human, become my next skin bag.”

A terrifying scarlet monster that looks like a skinned human flew out of the tiger and charged at Ding Xiaoxue.

After performing Moon Flash, Ding Xiaoxue has evidently consumed too much power. As such, she could only toss a yellow talisman, which combusted directly.

After it was branded by the yellow talisman, the terrifying scarlet monster screamed miserably and took a few steps back.

Big Black ejected out like a sharp sword, pounced on the terrifying scarlet monster, and bit the monster by the throat. At the same time, its claws surged with a black aura, and it frenziedly clawed at the terrifying monster.

Bursts of black gas emerged from the monster.

A white transparent humanoid figure shot toward Ding Xiaoxue lying on the ground, while another one charged toward Shu Feng.

“Spirit Shield Art!”

Shu Feng’s countenance changed slightly. He hurriedly unleashed the Spirit Shield Art, and a spirit force membrane appeared outside his body. He sent a fist flying toward the transparent humanoid figure.

When Shu Feng’s fist slammed into the transparent humanoid figure, it felt like hitting a thin screen, and a faint mist rose.

The transparent humanoid figure hugged Shu Feng with both hands. The spirit force membrane outside Shu Feng’s body began to disappear at a rapid pace, and strands of a piercing chill began to diffuse all over his body.

On the other side, the hollow demon that looks like a skinned person persevered for a while under Big Black’s frenzied tearing. In the end, it released a miserable scream, and then turned into a mist and disappeared, leaving only a pile of residue.

The moment before Shu Feng was going to lose consciousness, Big Black rushed over like an arrow and bit the transparent humanoid figure. With a flash of black light, it tore the transparent humanoid figure off Shu Feng and threw it on the ground.

Big Black pounced on the transparent humanoid figure and tore it to pieces.

After tearing the transparent humanoid figure to pieces, Big Black threw itself at the transparent humanoid figure attacking Ding Xiaoxue, knocked it down, and tore at it frenziedly, tearing it to pieces.

“Cold! It’s so cold!”

Shu Feng’s face is pale and his body is shivering. He feels a chill spread all over his body, nearly freezing him completely, making it so his spirit force is unable to circulate.

“This is Yang Spirit Pill, a pill that can dispel the erosion of ghost monsters’ yin qi!”

Ding Xiaoxue took out a jade bottle and swallowed a pill, and then passed the bottle to Shu Feng.

Shu Feng swallowed a pill, and warm currents immediately rose from his lower abdomen and spread in all directions.

Thanks to the warm currents, the cold yin qi all over Shu Feng’s body was dispelled bit by bit

“This time’s harvest was really big!”

There was a flash of excitement in Shu Feng’s eyes. In this battle, he obtained 35 points of soul force, 2,000 points of psionic energy, and 50 points of spirit force.

The 35 points of soul force and 2,000 points of psionic energy can make Big Black evolve again and become more powerful.

“With this residue, I may be able to make that kind of monster in the future.”

Shu Feng looked at the remains of the hollow demon that could manipulate the transparent humanoid figures and saw that only some gray residue was left.

He came forward, grabbed a handful of residue, and sent it into the mysterious base space.

“What is this?”

Shu Feng picked up a black brass sculpture lying next to the residue and looked curiously at it.

The brass sculpture is a carving of a terrifying monster with a pair of goat horns, a big mouth on the forehead, black scales all over its body, a human torso, sharp claws on both hands and feet, and a ferocious face.

“Found pure evil god force. Shout it be absorbed?”

A prompt sounded in Shu Feng’s mind.

“Yes!”

Shu Feng’s eyes brightened, and he uttered in his heart.

Today’s battle made Shu Feng realize once more how weak he is. The hollow demon Big Black possesses formidable fighting strength. Yet its master Shu Feng, who is only a mere level-3 Apprentice Spirit Warrior and only has the Spirit Shield Art to protect himself, is of little use in battle. He is desperate to become stronger.

Wisps of incomprehensible power silently entered Shu Feng’s body.

“Obtained 0.4 points of evil god force.”

“This is an idol of hollow demon king Jie King! Jie Demonic Cult is one of the several demonic cults in the Qianyuan Republic. Zhong Jietong’s family must have been selected by Jie Demonic Cult as sacrifices. The reason why she is still alive may be that the people of Jie Demonic Cult wanted to offer her to the higher-ups.”

Ding Xiaoxue picked up the brass idol, looked at it carefully, and uttered thusly, a dignified color in her eyes.

“Jie Demonic Cult, Jie Demonic Cult were the ones that harmed my family?”

Eyes shot with blood, face pale, Zhong Jietong looking like a specter walked over, clenched her teeth, and asked this. Not long ago, her parents were still alive. Both of them loved her very much and let her experience the feeling of a happy family. Yet now everything was destroyed! At this time, her heart is filled with hatred for Jie Demonic Cult.

Ding Xiaoxue uttered, a flash of sympathy in her eyes, “That’s right! Jie Demonic Cult were the ones that harmed your family!”

Godly Base – 25

25 – Changeling

Big Black bit aunty Wang in the neck, and black gas gushed out from her neck.

As if a deflated balloon, aunty Wang became shriveled and turned into a rotten corpse, and the eyes fell out of the eye sockets. Yet the corpse still slapped Big Black lying on top of it.

“Ah!”

Upon seeing this scene, Zhong Jietong felt like her world outlook had been subverted. She issued a shrill scream and hid behind Shu Feng.

Big Black was extremely ferocious. It bit at the wizened corpse’s head several times, and a grey gas flew out of the wizened corpse and disappeared.

The stench of rotting flesh came from the wizened corpse.

Zhong Jietong looked at the nauseating corpse, covered her mouth with a hand, ran to some bushes, and vomited, her face pale.

“Obtained 3 points of soul force and 100 points of psionic energy!”

A prompt sounded in Shu Feng’s mind.

Ding Xiaoxue’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she praised: “Shu Feng, your hollow demon is really impressive. Changeling is one of the most tricky hollow demons to deal with. After all, it’s very difficult to guard against sudden attacks from the person standing beside you.”

Shu Feng said strangely: “Is it that difficult to distinguish Changelings from ordinary people? After all, it stinks of rotten flesh!”

“Changelings usually wear lifelike human skin, which seals away the smell of rotten flesh. Furthermore, it is very difficult to distinguish them from ordinary people with the naked eye. Unless you practice a spirit eye art, have a special eye skill, or use a special secret treasure, it is very difficult for even spirit users to see through the disguise of Changelings.”

“They infiltrate human society, eat people, and then replace them and live in human form. They are our sworn enemies. There is no possibility of a compromise between us.” Ding Xiaoxue said solemnly.

Shu Feng thought carefully and suddenly shuddered. He had no idea that the world he lives in is so strange and has such scary monsters.

Shu Feng asked, “What about the memories? For their disguise to be so perfect, what do they do about the memories?”

Ding Xiaoxue’s eyes flashed with a dignified color: “After they eat the brain, they will get the memories of their victims. This is one of the scary things about Changelings. Except for us spirit users, ordinary people can’t distinguish Changelings from ordinary people at all.”

Zhong Jietong said with a worried face, “Let’s go upstairs. I’m worried about my parents and younger sister!”

Shu Feng asked curiously, “Zhong Jietong, you have a younger sister?”

Shu Feng pursued Zhong Jietong for two years. Although he didn’t make any progress, not even holding hands once. However, he heard from their classmates that Zhong Jietong is an only child.

Zhong Jietong answered, “That’s my father’s illegitimate daughter. She’s a lovely girl. Her mother died of cancer not long ago, so our family took her in.”

This is a heavy topic, so Shu Feng didn’t pursue it.

Ding Xiaoxue stopped Zhong Jietong, who wanted to enter the elevator, and said, “Let’s take the stairs!”

“Okay!”

Zhong Jietong was slightly taken aback, but then reacted and followed beside Shu Feng.

In such dangerous times, men always seem more reliable than women. Besides, the ferocious Big Black gives her a greater sense of security than the dainty Ding Xiaoxue.

The tenth floor.

When Zhong Jietong opened the door of her apartment, they saw a refined middle-aged man sitting on the sofa watching TV and a charming middle-aged woman cooking.

An 11 or 12 years old girl with black hair, delicate as a doll, with a small teddy bear in her arms, is watching TV with keen interest.

Zhong Jietong’s eyes flashed with doubt, and she asked, “Dad, mom, why are you still at home?”

The middle-aged woman smiled gently: “Jietong, your father and I feel a little under the weather, so we asked for leave today and didn’t go to work. Come and have some! I made your favorite braised ribs!”

Zhong Jietong smiled happily and walked towards the living room: “Okay! Mom, I just so happen to be hungry!”

“Don’t go! They are all psionic hollow demons! Stop her, Shu Feng! Put this talisman on her forehead!”

Ding Xiaoxue’s eyes flashed with a dignified color, and she drew her sword and gave a yellow paper talisman to Shu Feng.

Shu Feng received the yellow paper talisman, took a step forward, and stopped Zhong Jietong.

Zhong Jietong felt bashful and angry and struggled hard: “What are you doing? Shu Feng! What are you up to? Let me go!”

“Take a closer look!”

Shu Feng shouted and plastered the yellow paper talisman on Zhong Jietong’s forehead. The yellow paper talisman started to decompose slowly and turn into yellow gas.

Zhong Jietong took a closer look. All of a sudden, a stench of decay assaulted her face. On the sofa, there sits a dead man whose flesh seems to have been completely stripped. In the kitchen, there is a dead woman hanging in the air.

On the table, there are human intestines, hearts, and other kinds of internal organs and they are all full of maggots, painting a hair-raising picture.

“Dad, mom!”

Zhong Jietong looked at the male and female corpses with horror, despair, and disbelief in her beautiful eyes, issued a shrill scream, and collapsed to the ground.

“Hee-hee, what a pity! I was going to eat you tonight! Older sister! Unexpectedly, you brought back spirit users! What a miscalculation! However, spirit users are more delicious! Thank you, older sister, for bringing two desserts home.”

The girl as delicate as a doll holding a small teddy bear suddenly grinned, and her mouth split from ear to ear.

Four transparent humanoid figures rushed toward Ding Xiaoxue and Shu Feng.

“Shu Feng, protect Zhong Jietong. I’ll take care of it!”

Ding Xiaoxue’s beautiful eyes flashed with a dignified color, and she barked. Shrouded in hazy light, the sword in her hand followed an abstruse trajectory and slammed into a transparent humanoid figure.

The place cut by the sword emitted gray gas, and the transparent humanoid figure trembled and retreated in fear.

Three transparent humanoid figures attacked Ding Xiaoxue, while one transparent humanoid rushed at Shu Feng.

With a scarlet flash in its eyes, Big Black bit the transparent humanoid figure, and gray gas rose from the place where it bit.

The transparent humanoid figure trembled and stabbed its hands into Big Black.

Big Black’s body stiffened and emitted black gas. Consequently, Big Black became more frenzied and bit at the transparent humanoid. In a few breaths of time, the transparent humanoid figure was shrouded in gas and became increasingly thinner.

24 – Murder

“What are you doing?”

Ding Xiaoxue looked back, found that Shu Feng took out his cell phone and pressed the contacts button, and asked hurriedly.

Shu Feng replied naturally: “I’m going to call for support of course!”

Ding Xiaoxue gave Shu Feng an askance look: “Don’t report every little thing, okay? The captain and them are very busy! We can solve such a small matter ourselves. Looking at Zhong Jietong, she should have encountered a weak hollow demon. With me present, we can easily deal with it.”

Shu Feng asked curiously, “How can you tell that she met a weak hollow demon?”

“If it were a Spirit Master realm hollow demon, an ordinary person like Zhong Jietong would have been eroded by the hollow demon force a long time ago and gone crazy. Yet she is still fine and dandy. It shows that she should have been exposed to a low-level psionic hollow demon. I can kill such a low-level psionic hollow demon with one strike of the sword!”

Ding Xiaoxue gazed at Zhong Jietong full of excitement, eager to give it a try. She has practiced swordsmanship for many years. But the Qianyuan Republic has always been peaceful, and the probability that a hollow demon would come here is really small. If it were a powerful hollow demon, she wouldn’t dare to provoke it and throw away her life. Such a low-level hollow demon is a great chance for her to test her swordsmanship.

Ding Xiaoxue suddenly smiled and said, “If we complete this mission by ourselves, we’ll be able to get many more contribution points than if we call for support.”

Shu Feng’s expression changed slightly, and he greeted his teeth and said, “Fine! Let’s do it! However, if I feel that something is amiss, I will call for support immediately.”

“Okay! Now let’s go make contact with our target.”

Ding Xiaoxue smiled and walked towards Zhong Jietong with Shu Feng.

Ding Xiaoxue came to in front of Zhong Jietong and said, “Hello, Zhong Jietong, I’m Ding Xiaoxue from class 57, a good friend of Shu Feng.”

“Is something the matter?”

Zhong Jietong glanced at Shu Feng beside Ding Xiaoxue from the corner of her eyes, raised her slim eyebrows slightly, straightened her back, revealed her most beautiful side, and asked thusly with a smile.

Ding Xiaoxue is recognized as the No. 1 school beauty in Leijiang No. 3 Middle School. For some reason, Zhong Jietong doesn’t want to lose to her.

Ding Xiaoxue uttered with a serious expression: “Zhong Jietong, I’m from an exorcist clan. Did you feel a chill, feel as if some heavy object pressed against you, feel like you were dropped in endless darkness, and feel out of breath yesterday?! After getting up today, did you feel weak and dispirited, as if you can’t lift anything?”

Zhong Jietong hesitated and said in reply, “I did!”

Ding Xiaoxue asked, “That’s it! You were eroded by a ghost’s yin qi. We must perform an exorcism. Where did you go after school yesterday?”

“I went straight home. I didn’t go anywhere else.”

Ding Xiaoxue became serious and exuded a sense of boldness, prompting Zhong Jietong to answer unconsciously.

Ding Xiaoxue uttered in a deep voice, “That’s terrible! Maybe the ghost is in your home! It is likely to endanger the lives of your family! Zhong Jietong, let’s go! Take us to your home immediately! We have to perform an exorcism as soon as possible!”

“Okay! I’ll take you there!”

Zhong Jietong got up at once, an anxious look on her face.

“I’ll go, too!”

Wang Lu also got up. She is a very loyal, kind friend.

Shu Feng creased his eyebrows and refused categorically, “No! Wang Lu, you can’t come with us. You’ll just get in the way! You should stay at school and attend classes.”

Wang Lu raised her slim eyebrows and asked, “Then what about you! Shu Feng, Ding Xiaoxue is from an exorcist clan. But what about you? Why can you go with them?”

Zhong Jietong’s eyes fell on Shu Feng and flashed with curiosity.

Shu Feng said flatly, “I’m Ding Xiaoxue’s assistant. She taught me some things related to exorcism, so I can protect myself! I can also join the battle if necessary.”

Zhong Jietong’s eyes surged with doubt and fell on Ding Xiaoxue.

Ding Xiaoxue smiled sweetly and deceived the people in front of her with a straight face, “Yes, Shu Feng is really my assistant!”

For some reason, Zhong Jietong was suddenly relieved: “It turns out that he’s her assistant. No wonder the two are so close.”

Wang Lu stopped pestering and watched Zhong Jietong leave together with Shu Feng and Ding Xiaoxue.

Hongfeng Pavilion is one of the most upscale communities in Leijiang City. A taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, and Shu Feng and company came out of the taxi.

“Grrr!”

As soon as they arrived in front of the 16th building of the community, Big Black’s fur stood on end and its eyes shot with blood, and it stared at the building and issued warning sounds.

Shu Feng looked at the building and said with a dignified shade in his eyes, “It’s here! There’s hollow demon force! Let’s call for support!”

Shu Feng feels that he should grow for a period of time, practice cultivation in seclusion, and then come out when he’s unrivaled. He prefers to fight his opponents with a group of soldiers under his command instead of fighting them one-on-one.

“Wait a minute! Let me use the Heaven’s Will Art first!”

Ding Xiaoxue took out nine copper coins and a tortoise shell. She put the tortoise shell on the ground and waved her hand, and the nine copper coins flew into the air. Attracted by some mysterious force, the coins fell on the tortoiseshell one by one and stacked up neatly.

“The Heaven’s Will Art indicates that there should be no Spirit Warrior realm hollow demons in this building. Since there are no Spirit Warrior realm hollow demons, then with me here, there’s nothing to fear!”

Ding Xiaoxue smiled lightly, picked up the nine copper coins and the tortoiseshell, and put them away.

Shu Feng asked curiously, “The Heaven’s Will Art! What secret method is that?”

Ding Xiaoxue said, “Heaven’s Will Art comes from Xuanwu World! To cultivate this secret method, you need to have a talent for it. Furthermore, it comes with various restrictions. I have a certain comprehension of the Heaven’s Will Art. If there are no accidents, then there should be no hollow demons above the Apprentice Spirit Warrior realm in this building.”

Zhong Jietong asked with a dumbfounded expression, “Hollow demons, Heaven’s Will Art, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand anything?”

Ding Xiaoxue continued to mix falsehoods with truths, “Hollow demon is a term we often use to refer to ghosts. As for the Heaven’s Will Art, it is one of the spells of my exorcist clan.”

“Tong, why are you back already? Shouldn’t you be at school?”

An old lady with white hair walked over from one side and asked this curiously.

Zhong Jietong replied politely, “Aunty Wang, something came up at my home, so I had to come back early!”

At this time, the eyes of Big Black staying alert next to Shu Feng flashed fiercely, and it showed its figure, opened its maw full of sharp teeth shrouded in a black aura, lunged at aunty Wang, threw her to the ground, and bit her in the neck.

“Murder! A vicious dog committed murder!”

Stupefied by the scene in front of her eyes, Zhong Jietong screamed loudly, filled with fear.
