Chapter 374: Chapter 20 Demon Exorcism Master

At around eight o’clock in the evening, Xiao Jie and An Ran arrived at Chen Tianwen’s house on time.

Chen Tianwen had already set up the Formation in the living room, and flags of various talismans were placed all around the room.

In the middle of the Array, there was a sofa surrounded by piles of talismans, resembling the setup of a Hong Kong zombie movie about to seal a thousand-year-old zombie.

"I say, didn’t you go a bit overboard with this?" Xiao Jie felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the setup.

(This is all prepared for me?)

"Nonsense. If you really went mad, of course you’d need to be ready to sleep directly in the Array to avoid having to lure you into it later. Come on, lie down."

Xiao Jie told himself to just go with it.

"An Ran?" he called out.

An Ran, standing nearby, clenched her fists, "Don’t worry, I’m ready to physically wake you at any time."

Xiao Jie sighed and lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes, and started to sleep calmly. He fell asleep quickly...

In front of him was darkness, and he didn’t know how long had passed when bizarre images began to appear in his dreams.

With the experience from the last time, Xiao Jie wasn’t controlled by the emotions in the dreamscape; he observed the continuously changing scenes with a detached eye.

First were scenes of Chi Mei Jian just before his death, which quickly changed into the memories of Dong Lingzi’s final moments.

Xiao Jie was very familiar with these memories, as he was involved in the events himself. Reviewing it from another perspective presented an intriguing twist.

Especially seeing the scene of battling "Yin Yue Sui Feng" from Dong Lingzi’s perspective—it had to be said, his Divine Beast looked truly majestic.

Especially in that final move, releasing the Azure Dragon Descent Super Secret Technique from mid-air, the posture of annihilating the demons from a commanding position was truly awe-inspiring.

However, seeing ’himself’ being slain from Dong Lingzi’s perspective was somewhat startling.

"Be careful, it’s not dead!"

"Quick, kill it!"

Xiao Jie watched as fierce humans, wielding swords, swarmed to attack, and he watched Dong Lingzi desperately try to escape towards a spot where no one was.

But unexpectedly, an invisible force suddenly bound him tightly, making him unable to break free.

Xiao Jie could feel Dong Lingzi’s rage and panic. The perspective shifted as it turned to look not too far away, where a cold, stunning woman dressed in black was vigorously casting a Magic formula.

He could feel Dong Lingzi’s anger and despair, and the next second—

Thunder Fall Skill!

Boom! A bolt of lightning completely engulfed its vision.

Xiao Jie abruptly awoke from his sleep.

There was still a tingling sensation on his body as if struck by lightning, causing his heart to race, which left him momentarily dazed.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Xiao Jie looked up to see An Ran’s familiar face, and nearby, Chen Tianwen was looking over from a book he held.

"How does it feel, Xiao Jie? Do you need me to give you another physical wake-up?" An Ran gestured by swinging her fist.

Xiao Jie, recalling the smothering by bear-like paws that night, quickly said, "I’m fine now, I’m very clear-headed."

"It seems that with the last experience, you’ve gained some immunity," summarized Chen Tianwen.

"I suppose so. I felt my mind was very clear while dreaming, entirely that of an observer, although I could still feel the psychological changes of those two demons’ deaths..."

As Xiao Jie spoke, he sat up from the sofa.

Looking out the window, the sky was already brightening.

That night, he had two nightmares, one about Chi Mei Jian and one about Dong Lingzi, both featuring scenes of being mobbed and slain, which left him mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, this time no residual spirits of the demons had affected him.

"You should go wash up; you’re soaked."

Xiao Jie touched his clothes and indeed found himself covered in sweat.

This somewhat startled him. Since reaching the second level of Qi Refining Skill, he hardly sweated anymore. At this moment, seeing the sweat on his body somewhat brought back a sense of humanity.

He went to the bathroom and stood under the showerhead, feeling the hot water flow over his body.

It had to be said, this Immunity to Cold and Heat also had its downside—he couldn’t feel the heat at all.

As he bathed, Xiao Jie suddenly noticed something odd—why was his back feeling somewhat hard? What is this? Gosh, scales!

Xiao Jie was startled and hurriedly looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. On his ribs and back, he could faintly see something like scales, presenting a silvery-white color.

He touched them, and they were hard and smooth.

A wave of unease swept through Xiao Jie’s mind. He had a feeling that this certainly had something to do with the influence of the Monster Inner Core.

White Snake Scales—is that the influence of the White Snake Inner Core?

He hurriedly checked other parts of his body.

Thankfully, there seemed to be no significant changes elsewhere, except his body hair seemed to have grown more robust. He touched his chest, which initially was bare, but now had grown quite a bit of chest hair—though not too dense, it was clearly visible.

He touched his chin; his beard seemed to have grown thicker and harder too.

His muscles seemed beefier, and although it might be an illusion, they faintly gave off a beastly wildness.

Xiao Jie suddenly remembered that his body had undergone some changes last time, which had disappeared when he woke up; he had thought it was just an illusion, but now it seemed that was not the case.

He hurriedly dried off and walked out.

In the living room, Chen Tianwen and Ye Luo were preparing breakfast.

"Do you think there have been any changes in my appearance?"

The two of them looked him over thoroughly.
