Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Red Eyes by Nightfall

Lu Xiao immediately crossed his legs and sat down, desperately suppressing the Inner Qi and madness swirling in his mind.

Although he did not know why this was happening, Lu Xiao knew that once he lost control of that restlessness and desire, it would become very dangerous, and he might even not survive until the morning.

One minute, five minutes, half an hour...

The desire gradually subsided, and his mind returned to calm.

"Inner Qi... has increased this much?" Lu Xiao said, his face full of surprise.

The increase in just half an hour was definitely comparable to a week of cultivation in the outside world.

"This place is truly blessed." Lu Xiao couldn’t help but sigh, though he also felt that the people here were somewhat weak.

With such an excellent cultivation environment, this is what you amount to?

He had heard before that reaching the Transcendent Realm in one’s twenties was already considered the mark of an exceptional talent.

"If I had been cultivating here since childhood, by the age of twenty, I might have reached the peak already."

Lu Xiao was quite confident in his own cultivation talents and comprehension.

It couldn’t be helped, it was something developed from a young age.

After all, when he was following Xuanyuan Pan Shi, the old man could teach him anything, and he would understand it right away.

"Huh..." It was then that Lu Xiao faintly heard a low roar coming from next door.

The one living next to him... was a guard.

It’s just after nightfall, huh? Rich nightlife there.

Lu Xiao couldn’t help but think in that direction, especially since the sound was too suggestive, joy mixed with excitement.

"Hahaha, kill... kill them all, hehehe!" But the next sentence that came made Lu Xiao immediately alert.

Had he failed to withstand the desire that had eroded his mind and gone mad?

"Bang!" A sound came from outside, the door being smashed open.

Lu Xiao immediately went to the window.

The guard next door had already rushed out of the room, his Inner Qi exploding wildly, his face distorted with madness, his eyes glowing red and looking sinisterly terrifying.

The guard also noticed Lu Xiao at the window and violently turned his head.

In that instant of eye contact, the guard began to roar, emitting a raspy noise from his throat.

However, to Lu Xiao’s surprise, the guard did not rush towards him; he seemed to be wary of something, or perhaps, drawn by some force.

Growling at Lu Xiao a few times, the guard then screamed and rushed out of the Guard House’s walls.

At the window, Lu Xiao’s brows were tightly furrowed; the strangeness of this world was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Take it slow, no rush, the main thing is not to expose myself," he muttered softly before turning back to bed.

He had thought about chasing after to see, but in the end, he suppressed that impulse.

The commotion caused by the mad guard was not small, but despite that, not a soul from the extensive Mansion Luo came out to check. Venturing out now would make him stand out.

Moreover, he could not guarantee his safety once outside.

Those red lights outside could potentially be even more dangerous.

...

As the city’s bells rang, the dark red light rapidly dissipated, replaced by white light.

"This change really is fast."

Lu Xiao had not slept last night, spending the entire night cultivating.

Although the night was eerie and dangerous, the pace of cultivation was much faster than during the day.

By morning, he felt almost completely maxed out.

He just couldn’t break through now because he had no idea how to do it.

His own new path involved allowing superpowers and Inner Qi to overflow within the meridians, then crystallizing them through the method of a Fourth-stage Mutant.

But in this Divine Land, there was no way to replenish his superpower.

Without full superpowers, he couldn’t crystallize them.

"I need to go out and look around today, see where I can buy some Cultivation Techniques," Lu Xiao confirmed his immediate goal.

He must become stronger, otherwise, he would be limited in what he could do.

He was even wary of leaving Xu Hai City now; if he unexpectedly ran into a formidable enemy outside, he might just bite the dust on the spot.

Here, the Transcendent Realm means nothing.

All of Mansion Luo’s guards were in the Transcendent Realm.

Lu Xiao was about to open the door when faint voices of discussion came from outside. Adhering to the principle of listening in as much as possible, Lu Xiao immediately pressed his ear against the door.

"Did you hear? Cao Yan went into Demon Possession last night."

"I heard the noise. Hey, just the day before yesterday we were drinking together."

"That’s why I say, we need to improve our strength, but we can’t neglect our mental state either, otherwise the Red Eyes will hook your soul away."

"Lately, the time I need to resist the desire from the Red Eyes has been getting longer and longer. Last night it took almost three hours; am I also doomed?"

"If it’s three hours, you really need to be careful. If it gets too hard, you could make a trip to Qingxin Pavilion."

"It’s expensive, man, I don’t have the money."

Listenting to their conversation, Lu Xiao gathered quite a bit of information.

First, the red light was known as Red Eyes, and going mad from being influenced by desire was called Demon Possession.

Second, the longer the time required to resist the desire, the more dangerous it was.

Lastly, the Qingxin Pavilion.
