Chapter 448: Chapter 211: Promotion is Imminent

When Shen Qionglin tasted the Blade Beast meat roasted by Wang Jixuan, her entire state was transformed.

She had been somewhat fatigued, a result of days spent researching Spiritual Energy, and even as an awakened Spiritual Ability User, she still needed stable rest periods.

But when she took a bite of the Blade Beast meat...

She felt her body soaked in Spiritual Energy, her vitality almost immediately restored by a significant margin. Her eyes sparkled with brightness as she chewed vigorously and swallowed cautiously.

No toxicity?

And no explosive energy?

Although the flavor was somewhat inferior to that of real beef or lamb, it was much better than industrial meat.

Then, several talismans on Shen Qionglin’s body lit up spontaneously.

The Blade Beast meat she swallowed turned into a pure burst of Spiritual Energy in her stomach!

This burst of Spiritual Energy couldn’t increase the total amount of her internal Spiritual Energy, but it could quickly replenish it.

"Oh?"

Master Wang also noticed this unusual effect.

He closely observed Shen Qionglin and handed her another skewer of meat, originally meant for someone else.

Understanding, she swallowed, chewed finely, and swallowed again. Her body lit up with talismans once more as the Blade Beast meat in her stomach turned into pure Spiritual Energy, leaving behind just a tiny bit of residue.

"It seems," Shen Qionglin pondered slightly, "these replicated talismans on my body can form a circuit that digests Blade Beast meat."

The others around her were puzzled.

’Three Masters’ Uncle Tai openly asked, "What’s that about?"

Shen Qionglin briefly explained, "I’ve been researching Spirit Cultivator civilization, Uncle Tai, you know that. I’ve done two experiments myself, one injection experiment and one imitated Spiritual Awakening experiment. Whenever I activate Spiritual Energy, these talismans appear on my body."

Some ’Tadpole script’ flickered on her.

Shen Qionglin continued, "Actually, I still don’t understand many of these symbols. They are a whole set replicated using an infusion technique for awakening. Different symbols can form different Spiritual Energy Circuits. I haven’t yet figured out how to use them."

Wang Jixuan sighed lightly, "No wonder the Blade Beast Civilization rebelled, even the flesh and blood of Blade Beasts are used as food by Spirit Cultivators."

"Not necessarily," Shen Qionglin quipped, "Blade Beast meat is more likely food for Spirit Slaves. How could noble Spirit Cultivators possibly eat such coarse meat?"

Zheng Shiduo muttered from the side, "Bad news, Mu Dan’s sharp tongue is becoming contagious."

Mu Dan clicked her tongue, "What’s widely accepted can only then be considered normal."

Zheng Shiduo wanted to argue, but couldn’t find the right words as he reached his mouth.

She made quite a good point, after all.

Wang Jixuan continued to distribute skewers, and the group sitting around the barbecue stand quickly began to enjoy the nourishment of Spiritual Energy on their stomachs.

Unfortunately, the effects were not as exceptional as those experienced by Shen Qionglin.

Hua Ting was visibly afraid.

But in order to fit in, she kept smiling. Eating Blade Beast meat was tough and sometimes made her grit her teeth in frustration.

Wang Jixuan and the others started chatting about the front-line battle situation.

"This time we’ve won a major victory, and all major battle zones have sent congratulatory messages."

Zheng Shiduo chuckled,

"We have to go to the General Command Center to receive commendations in a few days, but Ji Xiao and Ji Yale’s names will be withheld, their crimes are too numerous for public accolade... Wang, what award are they giving you?"

"Lao Fu mentioned it, but I turned it down."

Wang Jixuan shook his head, continuing to attentively flip the skewers, removing the resentful power, and calmly spoke:

"Such things are immaterial, you just go ahead and accept the commendation."

"Moreover, I don’t know how long this peaceful period will last, there will surely be new troubles ahead."

Wu Man asked, "Aren’t the Blade Beasts temporarily retreated?"

Mu Dan explained simply, "They have temporarily pulled back because the King-level Blade Beasts originally gathered near D5 suffered heavy casualties. We had a low-cost tactic to defeat King-level Blade Beasts... but the Blade Beast Group will definitely return and seek revenge on us."

Shen Qionglin also said, "These beasts are vengeful. They are evil invaders."

"The issue with Blade Beasts is a major problem humanity faces. We mustn’t confuse that."

Wang Jixuan realized he was sounding too severe and shifted to a lighter tone:

"Fighting Blade Beasts, you can never have too much power.

"We managed to severely damage that Galino thanks to the Beast Speaker. Otherwise, if it had just stayed in the main Blade Beast Group’s area, we wouldn’t even have seen it. "

"The strength of King-level Blade Beasts varies, and those now active on the fringes of major battle zones are relatively weak."

"Lao Fu says that the most important task for these King-level Blade Beasts is to command the Blade Beast Group, suppress the development of human remnants, and keep the human population below the five hundred million baseline. Over the past sixty or seventy years, whenever the human population reaches six hundred million, Blade Beasts launch a full-scale attack."

"Previously, none of us understood why, but now, we know the reason."

Shen Qionglin immediately asked, "The reason is?"

"Classified."

"Mr. Wang, you’re really good at teasing," Shen Qionglin complained discontentedly.

Daoist Wang laughed proudly and didn’t keep them in suspense: "There’s no harm in sharing; it’s not a big deal."

The crowd listened intently.

As Wang Jixuan placed freshly roasted skewers on the iron tray, he spoke in an almost distant voice:

"I had a brief interaction with that Galino. At the time, it was in an illusion—or what I thought was an illusion; turned out to be a bit of a joke.

"During our interaction, it was difficult to deceive each other, it was like a connection of souls."

"What it said was, to a certain extent, trustworthy."
