My Cat Has Superpower?!
Chapter 318 - 317: The Gift in the Pond

Chapter 318: Chapter 317: The Gift in the Pond

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Zixun looked out the window, his expression somewhat melancholic.

Seeing Lu Zixun changed like a different cat, Xie Da, who was holding the steering wheel, couldn’t help but speak after a while, "Lord Cat, what’s wrong?"

"Um?"

Having regained his senses, Lu Zixun shook his head as he turned to face Xie Da, "It’s nothing, what could be wrong with me?"

The words Zeng Haoyang had mentioned were already very clear.

The only remaining SSS-class powerhouse was from the Ouyang Family, and it was very likely the "old ancestor" that Ouyang Jiao used to mention.

This also indirectly indicated something: the issue of Polluted Blood was definitely orchestrated.

To put it further, it might have been the powerhouse who had other arrangements.

Regardless, reaching this point was no longer connected to Lu Zixun.

That’s why Zeng Haoyang had said not to tell anyone about what he saw today.

It was easy to say that.

Yet Lu Zixun still felt an uncomfortable constriction in his heart, a sense of helplessness that hadn’t surfaced in a long time filled him again.

Seeing that Lu Zixun had responded with a sentence and said no more, Xie Da sighed silently and closed his mouth.

Reaching the entrance of Yu Ren High School, after saying goodbye to Xie Da, Lu Zixun walked alone in the quiet campus.

Located halfway up the hill, Yu Ren High School was slightly cold under the night breeze, and the campus under the moonlight was too quiet.

"Are you also here for the Polluted Blood?"

At that moment, a shadow suddenly appeared from the ground.

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Zixun looked up at the searchlights, and Ye Xun’s figure appeared in front of the searchlights.

Without a word, he raised his hand and thrust out a Frost Fire Spear. Ye Xun’s body exploded with Blood Energy, blocking the Frost Fire Spear.

Seeing how effortlessly Ye Xun took the hit, Lu Zixun realized that he must be close to breaking through to King-level.

"You’re here, aren’t you afraid the system will find you?"

Jumping to the wooden railing beside him, Lu Zixun licked his front paw.

"I came looking for something, didn’t expect to run into Lord Cat, just came to say hello."

Leaping down from the rooftop, Ye Xun’s gaze landed on Lu Zixun, "This thing isn’t simple, has Lord Cat found anything?"

Sure enough.

Ye Xun, too, was here for the Polluted Blood.

Opening his mouth wide and yawning, Lu Zixun spoke casually, "You’re here for the Polluted Blood, aren’t you? Too bad you’re late."

"Is that so?"

Murmuring to himself, Ye Xun looked at Lu Zixun with a faint smile, "Lord Cat, you might not know, but when the Insect Clan left, they left a little...gift. I hope Lord Cat will discover it early; otherwise, things will get interesting."

Suddenly standing up, Lu Zixun looked at Ye Xun.

Just as he was about to ask what he meant, a blood mist exploded around Ye Xun, and he disappeared into the mist.

Having been in a slightly better mood, Lu Zixun’s face darkened again after hearing Ye Xun’s statement.

It was certain that Ye Xun and the Insect Clan were aware of Qing Yangming’s existence.

And this visit was for Qing Yangming, just arriving a step too late.

However, Lu Zixun couldn’t figure out what exactly Ye Xun meant by the things Qing Yangming had left behind when he left.

Frowning as he walked toward Lin Siyin’s staff dormitory, Lu Zixun felt vaguely uneasy,

He thought for a moment and still turned toward the direction of the pond.

That was where he had first sensed the Blood Energy Aura of the Insect Clan.

If Qing Yangming had left anything behind, it must have been there.

The night pond shimmered under the moonlight, appearing exceptionally tranquil and calm.

Staring intently at the pond for a while, Lu Zixun then noticed something was off.

Inside these ponds in the school, they always raised some fish and the like to enhance the vitality.

Yu Ren High School’s pond was like a stagnant pool, showing no signs of life.

Thinking of the place atop the mountain where Polluted Blood had appeared, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment before diving directly into the pond.

The moment he felt completely submerged in water, Lu Zixun was clearly a bit panicked, but luckily, he calmed down quickly.

"Indeed, there’s something wrong."

Muttering to himself inwardly, Lu Zixun continued to dive deeper into the pond.

He sensed a strong Blood Energy Aura.

This must be the little gift Ye Xun had mentioned.

"Hiss!"

Before he even got close to the depths of the pond, something that looked like a water snake attacked him.

Dodging the water snake’s attack, Lu Zixun raised his paw, and a chill surged out, instantly freezing the water snake into ice.

A closer look revealed that this creature was not a water snake, its appearance revolting, and it had creepy, dense tentacles all around it.

Shattering the ice block and killing the water snake, the System Prompt Sound rang out, "Ding—Kill one assassin, reward 50 Super Energy Particles."

Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow; had it not been for the system’s sudden voice, he’d almost forgotten about the Super Energy Particles that appeared after the update.

Arriving at the depths of the pond, Lu Zixun saw a crystal-clear egg.

Inside was an insect enveloped by a Blood Energy Aura, constantly absorbing Blood Energy.

The Frost Fire Spear appeared underwater, and Lu Zixun did not hesitate to stab down with it.

"Clang."

"Ding—Detected Hate Value from the birth worm +1000."

He thought he would kill this strange insect instantly.

Unexpectedly, the insect opened its eyes and its mouthparts clamped onto the Frost Fire Spear.

"Boom!"

Not giving the insect any chance, Lu Zixun immediately detonated the Frost Fire Spear.

The aura of frost and the blazing Spiritual Fire swept through the egg instantly.

Between the realms of Ice and Fire, the insect let out a piercing screech.

"Ding—Kill the birth worm, reward 100 Super Energy Particles."

After dealing with the birth worm, Lu Zixun thoroughly searched the bottom of the pond,

and after finding no other peculiarities, he swam confidently back to the surface.

He shook off the droplets clinging to his fur.

Summoning Spiritual Fire, he dried himself off before happily heading toward Lin Siyin’s dormitory.

After Lu Zixun left, a small Insect Clan creature peered out from the mud.

It circled around the corpse of the birth worm, emitting a mournful scream.

At this time, Lin Siyin had already entered deep sleep.

Lu Zixun entered through the balcony, lazily stretched, and probed Lin Siyin with Spiritual Energy.

Now Lin Siyin was about to break through to level A; tomorrow, with Xiong Kang delivering the Golden Gene Optimization Liquid, she would almost certainly advance to level A.

There wasn’t much time left to enter the Crimson Land.

Lu Zixun tilted his head and watched Lin Siyin for a while, wondering how she would explain things to her father when the time came.

"Sigh."

He sighed softly and curled up beside Lin Siyin.

The cart will find its way round the hill when it gets there; we’ll worry about entering the Crimson Land when the time comes.

...

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin!"

The next day, before Lu Zixun had even woken up, he heard the urgent knocking of a student.
