Chapter 204: 138 Promotion_2

This was his first practice of a Shadow Leopard Series Martial Art.

Moreover, he specifically selected the one with the most conditions to train.

Yet he only awakened two Burst Skills.

It should be known that any Martial Art from the Giant Bear Series, as long as it is a Cultivation Technique inherited from the Iron Mountain Skill, would awaken at least three Burst Skills.

Heavenly Slaughter Blood Sea Technique has four, Fierce Bear True Intent three, and Heavenly Silkworm Dominating Power also three.

Fang Zhixing’s thoughts were tumultuous, his brows knitted into a knot.

But soon, he let go.

"It seems my Martial Arts theory is correct, if I build my Martial Arts Series around ’strength’ as the core, then ’agility’ can only serve as my auxiliary option."

"A supplementary Cultivation Technique would naturally have a limited number of Burst Skills it could awaken!"

Fang Zhixing gradually came to a realization and carefully examined the two Burst Skills.

[Heavenly Sound Burst Kill: Your speed can burst to its limit in an instant, breaking through the enemy’s visual capture range, suitable for short distances.]

[Shadow Stealth: Utilizing special stepping techniques and movement frequencies, not only is the moving speed extremely fast, but it is also very stealthy, like a ghost, difficult for the enemy to detect, and in complex environments or darkness, the effect is doubled.]

"Hmm, not bad."

Fang Zhixing smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly exerted force.

Bang!

An explosion-like sound faintly traveled through the air suddenly, resembling the crackle of a firecracker.

The next instant, two Fang Zhixings appeared in the bamboo house.

One stood in the original spot, while another was half-squatting in the corner.

Then, the Fang Zhixing standing in the original place gradually became blurry and slowly dissipated.

"Tsk tsk, this is Heavenly Sound Burst Kill!"

Fang Zhixing’s eyes gleamed with excitement, overjoyed.

Without a doubt, "Heavenly Sound Burst Kill" completely surpassed "Cocoon Transformation."

If Fang Zhixing and Lu Anfu were to compete in speed again, he could totally crush Lu Anfu.

"Heavenly Sound Burst Kill is very fast, the only weakness might be that every time this Burst Skill is used, the movement will be particularly loud."

Fang Zhixing tried several times in a row, every time he moved at high speed, it was accompanied by a bang!

"Xigou, can you see my moving trajectory?" Fang Zhixing asked, turning his head.

Xigou didn’t make a sound for a long time.

Fang Zhixing looked down and saw Xigou’s dog face, almost bursting into laughter.

[Species: Canine]

[Talent: Dog’s Bond]

[Bloodline: Maned Wolf (Third Level)]

[Bloodline Burst Skill: Poisonous Wolf Teeth (Each use consumes 1 Life)]

[Bloodline Burst Skill: Wolf Shadow Gale Claw]

[Bloodline Burst Skill: Shrinking Ground]

[Life Remaining Times: 8]

"Oh!"

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows, clicking his tongue, "Well, well, your improvement this time is not small."

Xigou raised his head, laughing happily, "Hmm, another Bloodline Burst Skill has emerged, and now I have eight lives!"

Fang Zhixing curiously asked, "What’s this ’Shrinking Ground’? A Divine Skill?"

Xigou’s expression turned serious, he went to the wall, and then activated his Bloodline Burst Skill.

"Shrinking Ground!"

In an instant, he turned into a blurred afterimage from the side of the wall, and abruptly moved to the opposite wall.

In the whole process, Xigou didn’t perform a jumping action, it looked like he slid over, very abrupt, catching one off guard.

Incredible!

Fang Zhixing couldn’t stop marveling, exhaling, "Now you finally have some abilities worthy of a Third Level Bloodline."

Xigou laughed heartily, "With this Burst Skill ’Shrinking Ground,’ I have full confidence in killing a creature of the Great Python Realm in one second."

Fang Zhixing nodded, "You are growing rapidly now, changing every day, and your own strength is close to the early stage of the Great Python Realm."

Both master and canine had their own gains, naturally feeling extremely joyful.

After waiting for a while, Fang Zhixing dried his hair, combed it neatly once more, and tied it up.

He then got dressed, packed his belongings, and said, "Let’s go, time to check out."

Xigou suddenly became nervous, timidly suggesting, "How about we just leave directly?"

Fang Zhixing, surprised, asked, "Are you that afraid of that Flower Lady?"

Xigou said with horror, "You haven’t seen that Hua Gu murdering people, she’s definitely a female psychopath."

Fang Zhixing’s mouth curled up in disdain, "Aren’t you a master at flirting? Didn’t you say that there’s no girl in this world you can’t woo?"

Unconvinced, Xigou retorted, "Normal girls, no problem, but that Hua Gu is just not a normal person!"

Fang Zhixing pondered for a moment and then smiled, "My horse is still with her, I must go get it back."

"If you want to go, you go."

Xigou walked outside, dead set against having anything to do with that psychopathic woman.

Fang Zhixing didn’t force him, only expressing disdain, "You’ve become such a coward, what a waste of eight lives."

He walked to the bamboo building on his own, and standing outside the picket fence, he called out loudly, "Hua Gu, are you there?"

Soon, a beautiful woman stuck her head out from the second-floor window and said with a smile, "Oh, isn’t this my tenant? What’s the matter?"

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "I’ve come to say goodbye."

"You’ve only stayed for seven days, and you’re leaving already?" Hua Gu asked with surprise.

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "I’ve fully grasped the martial arts, no need for further seclusion."

Hua Gu understood and nodded, "Congratulations, your horse is over there. Take it yourself, I won’t see you out."

With that, she waved her hand and withdrew into the building.

The instant she turned around, Fang Zhixing’s eyes suddenly turned blood red, eerily bizarre.

But in a flash, the red in his eyes disappeared as if it had never happened.

After a moment of contemplation, Fang Zhixing led his horse back and rode off.

Xigou ran up and asked, "How did it go?"

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "I took a good look, and her qi-blood is unremarkable, just an ordinary person."

"What?!"

Xigou was astounded and incredulous, "How’s that possible?"

Immediately, he thought of something and said with horror, "Could it be, she’s a demon?"

Fang Zhixing countered, "Did she transform when she killed people?"

Shaking his head, Xigou said, "No, when she killed people, she still looked like Hua Gu."

"Exactly, that’s it."

Fang Zhixing quickly understood and declared, "Hua Gu is a master; she can control the intensity of the qi-blood she emits and knows how to hide her presence."

Xigou smacked his lips and said, "Who on earth is this woman?"

Looking around Apricot Blossom Village, Fang Zhixing sighed, "It seems there’s a reason why this place is so peaceful and harmonious."

A man and a dog walked out of Apricot Blossom Village.

At that moment, Fang Zhixing looked up and saw the white-bearded old man from seven days ago.

As usual, he sat on a rock, legs crossed, leisurely smoking his pipe.

The old man caught sight of Fang Zhixing, and a flash of unusual color crossed his eyes.

In that moment, whoosh!

Fang Zhixing suddenly dismounted and rushed towards the old man, his large hand heading for the old man’s forehead.

The old man’s body stiffened, he instinctively closed his eyes, panic written all over his face.

After a long pause, he opened his eyes to see Fang Zhixing slowly removing his hand.

"What, what are you doing?" The old man asked, frightened and hesitant.

With a cold look on his face, Fang Zhixing said indifferently, "I’m giving you a chance to come clean. Why did you lead me to Hua Gu?"

"Who, who led you there?"

The old man grew nervous, stood up, and was about to leave.

A saber was pressed against his back.

Fang Zhixing drew his sword from its sheath; the second-level treasure saber was extremely sharp, its coldness piercing through the skin and seeping into the old man’s back, causing him to shiver and his skin to goosebump.

Fang Zhixing said indifferently, "Do you want to die?"

The old man swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "I was following the orders of the young master of Mirror Water Villa. Whoever passes through Apricot Blossom Village, no matter what their purpose, I try to guide them to Hua Gu."

Fang Zhixing’s eyes widened as he asked, "For what purpose?"

The old man shook his head, "I’m not sure, but to tell the truth, I feel Hua Gu is a very dangerous person."

Fang Zhixing said, "Oh? How so?"

The old man replied, "Of the people I’ve guided to Hua Gu, nine out of ten never leave Apricot Blossom Village again, alive nor dead."

Fang Zhixing’s breath involuntarily hitched.

He slowly sheathed his saber, pondering, "That young master, he’s been staying in Mirror Water Villa the whole time?"

The old man nodded, "He’s been there these days, I saw him just a few days ago."
