The Chu family was very agile, clearly accustomed to clearing battlefields; in less than five minutes, all 'prisoners of war' were rounded up.
Six died.
Two went insane.
The remaining 27 were severely injured.
Zhou Yaqi and Shan Po were the least injured, so they received super-enhanced treatment: a pair of silver bracelets that sealed their Pet Spaces.
Chu Lingfeng naturally noticed that everyone's spatial artifacts, including Shan Po and Zhou Yaqi, had vanished.
This style of taking everything, even from a passing goose, had the flavor of his grand-nephew.
Could it be that in their previous lives, the two of them were truly biological father and daughter?
He smiled, "Vice Dean Yuan, Miss Ming, we can go back now."
On the return trip, Mingxi did not let Little Silver Flower work anymore.
Instead, she rode Chu Lingfeng's ultra-luxurious airship and also learned Chu Lingfeng's identity: Chu Kuangsheng's biological uncle.
This handsome and wealthy young man was 132 years old this year, unmarried with no children, currently in a romantic dry spell, and was the overall head of the Chu family within Tanzania.
The blue-chip stocks of this era were all high-ranking figures.
Truly, high-ranking.
Chu Lingfeng and Yuan Hu were old acquaintances, so there was no awkwardness between them; they started chatting about 'international current affairs' as soon as they boarded the airship.
Seeing them engrossed in conversation, Mingxi did not interrupt.
She thought for a moment and took out the Seven Absolute Net from the Time Realm.
The moment it entered her hand, the Seven Absolute Net trembled imperceptibly.
"Master, the contract is completely broken."
Guangguang enthusiastically explained.
Leaving the Time Realm, the Seven Absolute Net's time truly began to flow, so its contract broke at that moment.
Only now would the owner of the Seven Absolute Net perceive that their contract with the Seven Absolute Net had vanished.
As for whether he would be harmed by it?
It would be best if he was.
If not, it didn't matter.
Losing such a valuable item was enough to make him ache for a while.
Mingxi wasn't worried that the other party would come looking; it wasn't like before. Now, with Yuan Hu and Chu Lingfeng, and so many elites from the Chu family, surely nothing bad would happen to her again, right? freēwēbnovel.com
This was also why she chose to take out the Seven Absolute Net at this time.
The moment the Seven Absolute Net appeared, Yuan Hu and Chu Lingfeng, who were chatting, immediately noticed it, because the aura of this item was extraordinary.
But neither of them spoke out to disturb Mingxi.
"I hope the contract succeeds."
Mingxi didn't explain to them; this Seven Absolute Net had consumed so many of her materials and reward time. If she couldn't successfully contract it herself, she would naturally have to sell it.
Anyway, she would never have Qi Shen's spirit of selfless dedication; she would die before giving it away for free to the Deputy Vocational Experimental Center.
And for this buyer, Wanling Beast University, to which Yuan Hu belonged, and the Chu family were both very suitable.
As for who it ultimately went to, that would naturally be the highest bidder.
Of course, the best scenario was if she could contract it herself!
This was a rare and precious spiritual rule artifact.
While Mingxi pondered, she had already deftly pricked her finger, squeezed out a drop of blood onto the Seven Absolute Net, and simultaneously began to mobilize her spiritual power.
Two seconds later, a wondrous pattern appeared before her eyes.
As a rare spiritual rule artifact, the Seven Absolute Net's grade definitely surpassed any artifact Mingxi had seen before.
Except for the unknown artifact in the small wooden box.
So Mingxi guessed that this artifact might also contain mysterious textual information.
Indeed.
Please call her Divine Strategist Xi!
The characters that appeared before her were new patterns she had never seen before.
Equally complex and profound.
Mingxi dared not waste a single moment, concentrating her mind to memorize this 'text.' As time went on, the stinging in her brain grew more intense, but Mingxi did not withdraw her /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ spiritual power.
Continue.
Yuan Hu and the other, who perceived Mingxi's intention, stared intently at the Seven Absolute Net in her hand.
Both of them had top-notch eyesight and experience; although they couldn't fully ascertain the Seven Absolute Net's exact information, they had already discerned that it was a rule artifact.
Though they didn't understand where Mingxi had obtained this rule artifact.
They did not harbor any greedy or covetous thoughts.
Instead, they quietly instructed their pet beasts to be vigilant, avoiding any accidents that might disturb Mingxi.
The Seven Absolute Net was now a spiritual artifact, and it was a special artifact that had its spiritual ascension process interrupted and was contracted before, so the moment its sentience was born, it subconsciously rejected the act of contracting.
"Buzz!"
Upon sensing Mingxi's spiritual invasion, the Seven Absolute Net began to tremble wildly, trying to break free from Mingxi's restraint.
If Mingxi hadn't anticipated this, the Seven Absolute Net would have already slipped from her grasp.
Mingxi, with the brilliant golden mysterious characters reflected in her pupils, deeply furrowed her brows. The Seven Absolute Net's resistance caused the mysterious characters to show signs of collapse. If she couldn't make the Seven Absolute Net submit, 'it' would probably disappear very quickly.
But she hadn't memorized this character yet!
And if she really had to give up this Seven Absolute Net, she wouldn't be reconciled!
She couldn't just give up!
Mingxi's brain operated like a frantic motor.
Pain!
It wasn't ordinary pain.
To alleviate the pain, Mingxi subconsciously began to circulate her self-created Breathing Method.
She wondered if it was her imagination, but as the Breathing Method circulated, the dense, needle-like sensation in her brain significantly diminished.
Moreover, the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand 'text,' which was on the verge of dissipating, seemed to become clear again, and apparently even easier to memorize.
Even the Seven Absolute Net, which she had clutched tightly in her hand, calmed down and no longer resisted her spiritual fluctuations.
No!
It wasn't an illusion!
Mingxi's senses were extremely keen; she would never misinterpret the information transmitted by her own body.
Could it be that her Breathing Method not only enhanced her physical abilities but also acted upon her brain region?
And it seemed to also have the effect of soothing spiritual artifacts?
Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but race.
She recalled her Hongmeng Awakening, during which she had continuously circulated the Breathing Method. Could this also be why her Hongmeng Awakening's effects were exceptionally prominent?
And when she contracted the mirror of creation and destruction, was it also due to the Breathing Method?
"Hoo—"
Although her thoughts were more intense than a volcanic eruption, Mingxi understood that now was not the time for wild speculation. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Steady.
Readjust the breathing rhythm.
The spiritual fluctuations spread out more naturally and rhythmically, locking onto the mysterious text before her.
Memorize, imprint.
Mingxi didn't know how unusual she was at this moment; golden runes seemed to swirl around her body, constantly rolling and flowing.
It was an aura that was unfathomable, yet commanded reverence and fear.
As Chu Lingfeng described it—like a deity existing in another dimension.
"She's...??"
Chu Lingfeng nervously covered his mouth. He didn't want to be so effeminate and pretentious, but this scene was simply too far beyond the limits of his comprehension.
He didn't understand, and he was greatly shocked.
