Free Web NovelChapter 1591: Chapter 937: Backlash (Part 2)
Thoughts returned to the past, this strange ability he indeed had seen once before, back at Ru Lin Academy, where the Old Clan Leader Yang Qianhe possessed a similar ability that could reverse time, quite formidable.
Suddenly, a sand blade formed, seemingly about to destroy the stone statue, but Yang Xiao intercepted it at the last moment, "What are you trying to do?"
"Destroy it, this thing is strange. Have you forgotten those ghostly things we encountered before?" The Sand Woman naturally referred to the previously revived stone gargoyle, which had brought them quite some trouble back then.
"Wait a moment." Yang Xiao patted his body and then looked at Nalan Shuo, who at this moment already held a pen and a notebook, seemingly waiting for Yang Xiao.
Deeply moved, Yang Xiao thought his Director was indeed reliable. He took the paper and pen, squatting down to begin drawing; he wanted to sketch this Fisherman’s appearance to leave clues.
"This... doesn’t look quite right." Jiang Qingluan frowned and said from behind.
Yang Xiao was always confident in his drawing skills. How could someone unskilled in drafting script kills be fit for the position of Patrol Bureau Chief? He detested outsiders pointing fingers at insiders, so he spread his hands and unhappily shouted, "If you’re so good, you try!"
Jiang Qingluan didn’t waste words, promptly took the paper and pen from Yang Xiao and pushed him aside, taking his place against the Fisherman’s face.
Soon, Yang Xiao’s face, ready for amusement, gradually changed. Once an expert takes action, the skill is evident. Jiang Qingluan captured the Fisherman’s features and expression with just a few strokes, making the Sand Woman beside her marvel, "Number 5, your drawing is amazing. Did you learn from a master?"
"No, I just drew casually." After finishing her drawing, Jiang Qingluan put away the pen, shook the notebook, and turned to Yang Xiao, asking calmly, "How is it?"
"Not great." Yang Xiao was stubborn in denial.
"Number 2, Number 5 did draw better than you." The Chamber of Commerce member stood out, backing Jiang Qingluan for justice.
"Really?" Yang Xiao chuckled dryly, "Brother, my injury is rather severe. I fear I can’t lend you a hand in healing; you better seek someone else skilled."
Upon hearing this, the Chamber of Commerce man stiffened his face, turned toward Jiang Qingluan, and righteously said, "But speaking of that, Number 5, I suddenly feel Number 2 brother’s drawing skill is more mature. Though it might not look like it, simplicity holds its own charm, and the more I look, the more I like it."
"Exactly, exactly." The Sand Woman chimed in, worried Yang Xiao would flip and refuse treatment; they two were as exhausted as could be. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Jiang Qingluan couldn’t be bothered with the two flatterers, collecting the drawing directly. Their mission was almost complete, eliminating the team of Japanese Apostles and avenging the previous deceased team. The most crucial aspect was that they could safely train in the Secret Realm Core Area. Judging by the total number of teams, there seemed to be no more survivors here.
Calling it training was an exaggeration; actually, they were staying here for a more extended period. Since entering the Secret Realm Core Area, the spiritual power of the five members had improved, which was the largest gain of this trip.
Previously, Yang Xiao pondered on a matter: improving spiritual power through repeated Nightmare Dungeon runs was highly dangerous. Even the most experienced had moments of oversight.
After all, the Nightmare Dungeon isn’t a solo showcase, and if unfortunate, one might encounter a group of unreliable teammates, not even an immortal could save them. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Nonetheless, many high-level apostles appeared, and Yang Xiao speculated back then that besides the Nightmare World, there must be other means to enhance spiritual power.
Now, it seemed he was correct. Secret Realm training was one such way and, if utilized well, posed less danger than the Nightmare World.
For instance, this time, actually upon entering the Secret Realm, there was no need for a direct confrontation. If not for the Japanese Apostles coming in to stir trouble, even if Yang Xiao’s group encountered other domestic forces and teams, as long as the others did not make the first move, they wouldn’t either; it was meaningless.
At this moment, Yang Xiao, relying on his self-sensing, noticed he had improved notably, reaching almost Ghost Level Middle standards. If everything went smoothly, upon leaving the Secret Realm, he might touch the threshold of mid-stage Ghost Level, undeniably a significant enhancement.
Recalling those times before he had truly stepped into the Ghost Level, he consumed the Dharma Sect’s secret medicine, managing to confront the half-step Nether Realm Demon Sect Vajra undefeated. If he fully enters mid-stage Ghost Level and consumes the secret medicine again, his combat power would definitely rise hugely, possibly enabling him to battle the Master of Bone Pavilion.
Yang Xiao had two major regrets in life: the young Sect Master stole the Corpse Realm, separating Corpse Mirror and Soul-Capturing Mirror brothers, and the Master of Bone Pavilion took the Ghost Lantern’s handle, rendering it incomplete till now; recalling these events each time broke his heart, leaving him sleepless.
If these grudges remain unavenged, he wouldn’t be a true gentleman. As one from the Patrol Defense Office, unable to protect even himself, how can he talk of safeguarding the nation? Yang Xiao swore never to stand with Evil Cultivators!
That secret medicine wasn’t useful for everyone. He improved so greatly mainly because of the supportive help from his good sister.
The secret medicine restrained the good sister, causing her to fall asleep, allowing him to "steal" a part of her spiritual power for his use.
As his strength grew, the portion he could "steal" increased, naturally showcasing more formidable combat power.
In all, the good sister was a treasure trove awaiting Yang Xiao to explore.
