Chapter 1208: Chapter 1206: The Bamboo Insects of Night Holy City (14)

"Is this the miracle you spoke of?"

In the not-so-dark night, who appeared was none other than Yuan Shan’s teacher, Henry Campbell.

At this moment, faced with his pupil’s call, Old Master Henry’s face was as still as water, silent.

Having received no response, a disheartened Yuan Shan frowned and looked towards Fu Qian.

"Thanks for watching, not bad, right?"

To this, Fu Qian actually gave a gesture as if the performance had ended.

"More than just ’not bad’..."

Yuan Shan muttered to herself, her expression blank.

The last magic trick was actually the Great Summoning Spell?

Two bizarre performances, plus her teacher unexpectedly coming to meet her, had shaken her rationality to its core.

Regrettably, it seemed her teacher was not prepared to help clear up her confusion.

"Fang Xun?"

The next moment, Old Master Henry, who had been watching Fu Qian the whole time, finally spoke, his tone unreadable.

"Pleasure to meet you, Old Master Henry."

Fu Qian took a few steps forward and finally responded with a smile, while Yuan Shan shuddered upon hearing it.

"How did you know? I clearly..."

She forcefully swallowed the rest of her words, unwilling to point out this eerie detail.

She could clearly sense something was off with her teacher’s attitude, and it wasn’t the time to exacerbate the situation.

"Welcome to Night Holy City."

And it seemed Henry really didn’t hear her words, he just nodded slightly, without any enthusiasm, welcoming her.

"How does it feel?"

It seems it’s not the worst-case scenario yet!

Fu Qian sighed in his heart, looking up at the sky.

"Brighter than I imagined, a bit of light pollution."

"That’s what it’s like here... Night is truly the beginning of the day."

With a forced smile, Yuan Shan tried to insert herself into this eerie conversation, hoping to ease the mood.

She had envisioned many scenarios of meeting him, but none as breathtaking as this.

Completely incomprehensible, but seemingly breaking limits instantly, spiraling out of control.

Light pollution...

Unfortunately, Chief Yuan’s effort showed no effect, as Henry displayed a startlingly frightening smile.

"Compared to when?"

"Well..."

His question prompted Fu Qian to ponder for a moment.

"Strictly speaking... just now."

"Ha... very good!"

Old Master Henry nodded in approval, taking a step forward.

Accompanying this step, the night sky suddenly became murkier.

The familiar Tyrant Halo once again enveloped the surroundings.

"Is it not so bright now?"

"Teacher!"

The first to react was Yuan Shan’s alarmed cry, never expecting her teacher to take action so suddenly, even right on the street.

"Stay back a bit, this fellow is far more dangerous than you can imagine."

At this moment, Henry finally addressed his pupil, giving a cold reminder.

...

Although her mind was full of question marks, Yuan Shan was clearly decisive, immediately following her teacher’s instruction to keep her distance.

Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, it was crucial now to avoid getting caught up in her teacher’s attack.

If she were to also be trapped and lose the ability to move, it meant that she could do nothing in this dire situation.

Speaking of which, Fang Xun was originally standing with her. If he hadn’t taken those few steps forward to speak just now, she might truly have been trapped along with him, wait a minute—

Yuan Shan’s heart skipped a beat, and she incredulously turned her head to look.

Not only did this guy know the teacher would come immediately, but he also clearly understood that those arriving meant harm?

How could that be...

In a strong shock, the lack of change in the other party’s appearance doubled her astonishment.

The change was that there was no change at all.

The guy did nothing and just stood quietly there.

Yet the teacher’s abilities seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

"What is Logan doing, facing him directly and still can’t tell he is Second Phase?"

At this moment, Henry, who asked her to stay back, seemed quite unhappy, even going as far as to verbally attack his injured colleague.

Second Phase?

Of course, Logan couldn’t hear this, but his student was certainly scared enough.

Yuan Shan was clearly starting to question her life.

How could it be... Did she always hire a Divine Envoy as an action advisor?

This is too absurd!

"It might not be a bad thing. Given Old Master Logan’s character, if he noticed anything, he’d only lie down even quicker,"

At this, Fu Qian stood there relaxed and pressure-free, indicating that there’s no need to be overly harsh on that poor man.

He also did not make any futile denials.

After the recent fusion, he indeed had become a genuine Second Phase.

Yuan Shan might be a bit slow due to psychological inertia, but Old Master Henry, who came specially, wouldn’t be, not to mention he was already full of murderous intent.

Of course, just being Second Phase would not be enough for him to handle Old Master’s methods so effortlessly.

Even in his previous "Immortal" state, defilement still happened before recovery took place.

The reason for no reaction was due to some kind of fundamental transformation after achieving Pseudo-God status.

Besides the enhanced physical strength and the three retained abilities, he gained more than one new thing.

Among them, the last was the Divine Skin Robe wrapped around his body, which not only helped consolidate his self but also granted an incredible property of being immune to distortion effects.

He could still be torn, burned, and harmed by various means, but his very form of existence would never be out of control.

Unless the influence applied was from a being of a higher Ranking than the robe.

Clearly, Henry without the direct aid of Prism of Radiant Transformation was not qualified.

Of course, this was only in terms of the physique; mental devastations were still wholly received.

But for Fu Qian, masking that was way easier.

And this was just one of the gains.

Beyond that, Fu Qian was very clear that after ascending to Pseudo-God, his Mythical Form had changed as well.

Specifically, if he fully activated his Mythical Form, what reflected in the will of others would be the true return of ancient Divine Beings.

Usurping a divine position and draped in a robe? His path as a Divine Being really was quite special.

"You too."

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and without waiting for Henry, who looked displeased, to respond, Fu Qian continued.

"Mr. Fang really is confident... So, what method do you plan to use to make me end up like Logan?"

Under successive provocations, Henry finally spoke expressionlessly.

"What do you think?"

To this, Fu Qian responded with a mysterious smile.

"...What is this?"

Henry was momentarily stunned, then his expression swiftly changed, the darkness converged, and he rapidly retreated.

Accompanying this action, a mercury-like luster quickly seeped out from his body, enveloping him completely.

However, by his expression, it seemed not very effective.

What else could it be?

Faced with this horror, Fu Qian let out a cold snort.

Having desecrated the divine position, how could he lack authority?

Almost considered the most exaggerated gain, according to his clear realization in his mind, he named it "Calamity."

Of course, at this moment, this authority manifested on Henry was not complicated; it merely multiplied any damage inflicted.
