Chapter 298: Chapter 296 True Intent Mutation

Only members of the Dragon Hunting Team were left in the tavern.

"Haha, Xiao Ye, I knew I was right about you!" Kuang Dao laughed heartily as he walked over and clapped Xiao Ye on the shoulder.

"Welcome to the Dragon Hunting Team, Xiao Ye!"

...

Everyone from the Dragon Hunting Team came up to greet him, their attitudes towards Xiao Ye were even warmer, treating him not as an outsider at all.

"Xiao Ye, thank you for your trust in joining the Dragon Hunting Team. As the captain, I will give you enough respect." Suddenly, Xiao Ye felt a fragrant breeze and heard a pleasant voice.

Xiao Ye turned around and saw Qing Wu standing in front of him, her pretty face flushed with excitement, seemingly surprised that Xiao Ye still chose to join the Dragon Hunting Team under such circumstances.

"Whoa, the captain’s blushing, that’s really something!"

"I think the captain has taken a liking to Xiao Ye. Look at them, they’re a perfect match. Why not just pair them up, haha!"

The members of the Dragon Hunting Team couldn’t help but tease upon seeing this.

Boom!

At these words, Qing Wu’s face grew frosty and her beautiful eyes widened as her hair fluttered and a dazzling light burst from her hands, scaring everyone into hastily retreating, only for two unlucky ones to be blown away and smash a big hole in the wall.

Hiss!

Xiao Ye gasped in shock. Qing Wu’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth-Transformation Profound Martial Realm, putting even him under immense pressure.

Qing Wu, seemingly two years younger than him, possessed such terrifying cultivation. No wonder she was able to hold the position of captain.

"Hmph, daring to joke about this captain? You’re really asking for it!" Qing Wu snorted coldly, though her ears turned red from the joke.

"Let’s drink, let’s drink, dare you joke about the captain?" Kuang Dao glared and pulled everyone to sit down and start drinking.

"Damn Kuang Dao, it was clearly you who started it!" Qing Wu said coldly, scaring Kuang Dao into a bitter smile and apology.

Xiao Ye watched this scene with a smile, quickly being pulled over to join the drinking, creating a very heated atmosphere, and a long-missed sense of relaxation filled Xiao Ye’s heart.

Qing Wu also showed a generous side, competing in drinking with Kuang Dao.

And Xiao Ye also got to know the other Dragon Hunting Team members’ strengths.

Including him, the Dragon Hunting Team had nine members; Qing Wu had the cultivation of the peak of the Ninth-Transformation Profound Martial Realm, followed closely by Ma Kui who was at the middle stage, and then came Kuang Dao and a member named Jin Yunshan.

As for the remaining four, they all had the cultivation of the late stage of the Eighth Transition Xuanwu.

"Xiao Ye, I’ve heard that your strength can match the late stages of Eighth Transition Xuanwu?" Qing Wu suddenly asked.

Xiao Ye nodded, if including his Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, he could even fight against ordinary early stage warriors of the Ninth-Transformation Profound Martial Realm, though he couldn’t win.

"While that strength is good, it ranks last in the Dragon Hunting Team. Ten days from now, King Xingyun will issue missions, you’ll just follow us to gain some experience, there’s no need for you to act." Qing Wu stated.

Xiao Ye gave a wry smile.

Qing Wu was right, his strength could match the late-stage of the Eighth Transition Xuanwu, but that was only in comparison to ordinary martial artists.

Members of the Dragon Hunting Team who could enter the Genius Camp were all extraordinary, each capable of fighting across levels, not just on the surface.

So indeed, his strength was the lowest within the Dragon Hunting Team.

"Also, here’s a secret technique which will greatly help us during missions, take it and cultivate it." Qing Wu took out a booklet from her space ring and handed it to Xiao Ye.

"True Intent Skill." Xiao Ye took it and saw three big characters written on the booklet.

"This is..."

Xiao Ye flipped through it, suddenly excited.

This set of secret techniques would not increase strength, but it helped in condensing Martial Arts True Intent, broadening the area of exploration and returning more comprehensive and complete information.

Once this set of secret techniques was cultivated, it would greatly increase the ability to detect dangers, at least having half the effect of the consciousness exploration in the Void Martial Realm, needless to say its value.

"Captain, you got this secret technique from the Exchange Hall, right? If I cultivate it, it will affect you too." Xiao Ye took a deep breath and handed the booklet back to Qing Wu.

In the manual of the Genius Camp, it was clearly recorded that exchanged Combat Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and secret techniques must not be passed on randomly.

A flicker of intrigue appeared in Qing Wu’s beautiful eyes, finally she slowly said, "Don’t worry, after our next mission, I just need to go and add some Contribution Points for you, then it’ll be fine. Consider it a gift for joining our Dragon Hunting Team."

Xiao Ye was startled, then after a moment of silence, he accepted the booklet.

He wasn’t one to make a fuss; the booklet was indeed very helpful to him. As for Qing Wu’s favor, he would surely return it later.

"Yo, the captain has given out a token of affection." Kuang Dao couldn’t resist saying.

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, Kuang Dao was sent flying with a slap from Qing Wu.

The remaining members of the Dragon Hunting Team held back their laughter, their faces turning red.

"Sigh, you guys..." Xiao Ye shook his head speechlessly and continued to drink and dine.

It must be said that the Genius Camp’s tavern, whether it’s the drinks or the dishes, were all upper class, which left Xiao Ye with lingering enjoyment.

The gathering lasted until deep into the night before the members of the Dragon Hunting Team gradually left.

"Xiao Ye, don’t forget, we set out to complete the mission in ten days," Qing Wu reminded Xiao Ye as she left.

Xiao Ye, in a tipsy haze, walked back to the palace in the Genius Camp with Kuang Dao.

At this time, clad in a green dress, Qing Wu left the tavern but did not return to the palace; instead, her delicate body ascended to Heaven and flew toward a ten-layered pagoda in the Genius Camp.

At that moment, there was a young figure sitting cross-legged on the top of the pagoda. His breathing was rhythmic, almost as if it resonated with heaven and earth. The starlight under the night sky coiled around his body, setting off his heroic appearance.

"Girl, you seem to have had a lot of fun," the young figure, noticing Qing Wu first, spoke indifferently.

"Hmm, you found me again, so boring," Qing Wu huffed.

The young voice was full of resignation: "You spent all that effort forming the Dragon Hunting Team, you might as well focus on cultivation and advance to the Void Martial Realm sooner."

"Cultivating is so boring, not for me. My goal is to lead the Dragon Hunting Team to suppress you and become famous worldwide. Now, that’s interesting," Qing Wu chuckled proudly.

"Supress me? With those people in your Dragon Hunting Team?" The young figure spoke arrogantly, a sense of invincibility erupting.

At this moment, the stars in the sky seemed to brighten, shining towards the young figure, and then getting absorbed by him.

"Well, you never know. Today, our Dragon Hunting Team got a new genius who, despite being in the Late Stage of Fifth Transition Xuanwu, can rival those in the Late Stage of Eighth Transition Xuanwu. Once his cultivation improves, we’ll definitely suppress you together," Qing Wu laughed mischievously.

"Oh? Overcoming so many minor realms indeed makes him a genius, but he is far from matching me. Girl, you better leave, I still need to cultivate," the young figure said calmly.

"Tch, always cultivating, you cultivation maniac, so boring!" Kuang Wu glared at him and then flew away.

"Evolving Cave Heaven, advancing to the Void Martial Realm..." the voice from the top of the tower faintly echoed, mysterious and profound.

...

Xiao Ye returned to the palace, the Mystic Martial circled his whole body, quickly dispelling his drunkenness.

"Ten days time, see if I can upgrade all three Xuandans a level. By then, my strength will really step into the Nine Revolutions Profound Martial Realm."

"Can’t neglect the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body either. Once perfected, my physical defense in the Profound Martial Realm will be invincible," Xiao Ye murmured to himself, then picked up a Mid-grade Primordial Stone and began to cultivate.

During a break in cultivation, Xiao Ye took out the True Intent Skill from the Space Ring and started to read it.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ye closed the booklet, his eyes flickering with excitement.

"My previous use of Martial Arts True Intent to detect surroundings is really shallow compared to True Intent Skill!" Xiao Ye felt surged with emotion.

If Martial Arts True Intent were a Divine Sword, it would be an unsharpened Divine Sword with limited offensive power.

With the True Intent Skill, the Divine Sword would be sharpened, greatly enhancing its lethality.

Xiao Ye plunged his consciousness into the Time Tower and began cultivating the True Intent Skill.

In the third layer of the Time Tower, Xiao Ye had thirty times the amount of external time, so his cultivation progressed quickly. Only three days had passed in the real world, but three months passed in the Time Tower, and he had mastered the True Intent Skill.

"My four Martial Arts True Intents could only detect within a two-mile range, but once the True Intent Skill is initiated, the detection range increases significantly!"

Xiao Ye tried operating the True Intent Skill, and the Flame Martial Arts True Intent radiated outwards in a ring shape, everything within a five-mile radius clearly feeding back to him.

This effect was much stronger than before.

Later, Xiao Ye tried the Earth True Intent and Wind True Intent and found the results same as the Flame True Intent.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Xiao Ye shuddered as his three types of Martial Arts True Intent erupted in succession, blasting upwards from his body.

Boom boom boom!

Red, yellow, and cyan lights intertwined, causing the palace to slightly tremble.

"What’s happening?" Xiao Ye’s heart raced as his three comprehended Martial Arts True Intents erupted involuntarily.

Xiao Ye hurriedly operated the True Intent Skill, attempting to suppress the three Martial Arts True Intents, as he didn’t want others to discover his secret just yet.

However, as he operated the True Intent Skill, instead of being suppressed, the True Intents burst forth like wild horses breaking free from their reins, creating enormous repulsion between them, causing giant wounds to erupt on Xiao Ye’s body, with blood spurting wildly.

The intense pain swept over Xiao Ye’s nerves like a tide, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Damn! What’s happening!" Xiao Ye couldn’t help but curse, wondering if he had made a mistake in his cultivation.

At this thought, Xiao Ye was scared and broke out in a cold sweat; the three Martial Arts True Intents had different properties, and it was only because he cultivated the Four Profound Treasure Technique that they could coexist within him. If they were not suppressed but repelled each other, it would be a tragedy for him.

"Four Profound Treasure Technique!" Xiao Ye gritted his teeth, formed Hand Seals, and began operating the Cultivation Technique.

As the Four Profound Treasure Technique operated, the three Martial Arts True Intents surprisingly found a point of convergence and slowly merged, forming a new Martial Arts True Intent.

"This... how is this possible!" Xiao Ye shuddered, his face filled with disbelief.
