Chapter 238: Your Highness, Why Bother?
“Trying to mess with me!”
Xia Feng was dumbfounded. How could this thing auto-index? Was it a dog?
The black bead moved at lightning speed. Before Xia Feng could react, it had already floated close.
Xia Feng blinked and silently looked at the three large figures in the distance, who looked like Hulks.
The three Hulks’ eyes widened like brass bells. Xia Feng smiled and waved, “Hello, how are you doing?”
The infiltration plan was a complete failure!
Seeing this, the Hulks’ expressions shifted from shock to gloom. How arrogant! They dared to snatch a treasure right in front of them!
Although they didn’t know how this guy had snatched the high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl, now was not the time to think about that. The high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl was a treasure highly valued by Walker Xize. If it were lost, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, luckily, this was their territory!
The three Hulks’ eyes gleamed with bloodlust, and they grinned as they quickly dispersed and took positions.
At the same time, Berna heard the commotion and looked back at the doorway, just in time to see the high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl float in front of a man in white.
“???” His expression and gaze sank slightly, and he immediately stood up.
Outside, Freya helplessly patted Xia Feng’s shoulder, “You step back, let me deal with them.”
“Teacher Freya?” Xia Feng asked suspiciously, “Can you do it?”
Teacher Freya was only a Third-stage Spirit Master. A few months ago, she would have been very powerful to Xia Feng, but now, Xia Feng could crush this noob teacher with one hand.
“Little Xia Feng, don’t think you can question your teacher’s strength just because you’re a genius!”
Teacher Freya snorted. She crushed a [Fire Obsidian] in her hand, which instantly turned into a crimson spiritual light that surged into her heaving chest.
At the same time, her luxurious evening gown, surrounded by spiritual light, transformed into a loose white martial arts uniform that fluttered in the wind.
To Xia Feng’s astonishment, Teacher Freya’s aura began to skyrocket.
Her Spirit Pressure state remained unchanged, but there was an aura that made Xia Feng subconsciously tremble with fear, as if some terrifying giant beast had awakened within Teacher Freya, causing her physical strength to rapidly break through one critical point after another!
The Fire Obsidian belonged to Xia Feng. He had obtained a large amount of Obsidian at the Black Moon Holy See, including 23 pieces of Fire Obsidian.
Before coming to Bern Island, Teacher Freya had heard that he had a lot of Fire Obsidian and asked for a few pieces.
At the time, Xia Feng didn’t understand what Teacher Freya wanted them for, but he didn’t expect them to be used to enhance strength, or perhaps to unseal strength?
Was this Holy Solution? Holy Solution abilities did require Obsidian, but Xia Feng felt it wasn’t quite right.
“Kill these two suicidal fellows!” Serial Number 104 grinned coldly.
The two Hulks standing to the side stomped their feet. Amidst two sonic booms, they instantly approached Freya, rising into the air simultaneously, their gazes bloodthirsty.
But as the two strong men swung their metal-lustered fists, the space vibrated. Freya’s figure in the white robe, like a reflection in water, shattered like a pebble dropped into water.
“So fast—” the pupils of the two men widened slightly. As soon as this thought arose in their minds, the woman in the martial arts uniform had already appeared behind one of them. Red lightning flashed around her delicate hand, and a slender red saber appeared in her palm.
As her crimson hair fluttered in the wind, she swung her saber.
Blood spurted from the neck of one of the Hulks, and his head flew into the sky.
Xia Feng watched this scene with some surprise. Based on his observations, these two Hulks with numbers on their arms were similar to the Berserker Knights of the Black Moon Holy See; their Spirit Pressure levels were relatively low, but their physical strength was greatly enhanced.
They both possessed Strength Values close to a Fifth-stage Spirit Master, yet Freya could easily kill one of them.
This indicated that Teacher Freya’s current Strength Value must have reached Fifth-stage standards, and her Agility was also not low.
It seemed Teacher Freya had quite a few secrets. As Xia Feng contemplated this, he reached out and grabbed the black bead floating in front of him.
“Kid, you’d better return this to me.”
At this moment, Berna quietly appeared by the door in the distance, his gaze indifferent as he stared at Xia Feng.
Xia Feng raised his eyes to look at the tall, lanky man. He smiled and squeezed the black bead hard. The bead instantly disintegrated in his hand and quietly melted into his body through his palm.
[Calamity Demon Heart repair progress: 1.40004%] [Absorbing high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl—]
[1.49004%]
[1.58444%]
[1.99444%]
[Calamity Demon Heart repair progress: 2.91008%]
Good heavens, one high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl could add about 1%?
Xia Feng was somewhat surprised. This 1% didn’t seem like much, but it was much more than the 0.01% he gained each time he absorbed an Evil Dragon.
The repair progress of the Calamity Demon Heart had awakened the Demonic Energy – Shadow of the Blood Fiend and Calamity Spirit Touch at 0.01% and 1% respectively. The next stage of Demonic Energy required 10%.
Even if Xia Feng absorbed dragons every day and night until his mouth was raw, it would take hundreds of years to reach 10%.
But now, it seemed that if he could find more high-level Calamity Spirit Pearls, he might be able to reach 10% quickly!
Unlocking new Demonic Energy!
After all, both Shadow of the Blood Fiend and Calamity Spirit Touch were incredibly powerful abilities that significantly improved his strength!
Seeing the high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl disappear from Xia Feng’s hand, Berna’s gaze turned cold. He quickly guessed that this person probably had a space-type spirit artifact and had stored the high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl in it.
Fine. As long as the high-level Calamity Spirit Pearl was not damaged, it was okay.
However, before dealing with this ignorant brat… Berna frowned in thought, and his sinister eyes looked up at the woman in the martial arts uniform in the distance.
He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, why bother?”
Berna’s words made Xia Feng pause. “Your Highness?” Was this guy talking about Freya?
“Serial Number 104, stand down,” Berna said in a deep voice.
Serial Number 104 dodged Freya’s saber afterimage with a tilt of his head and retreated to the lanky man’s side in an instant.
The woman in the martial arts uniform was covered in deep red spiritual flow, with a light gold rhombus mark flashing between her eyebrows. Her beautiful eyes were tinged with an enchanting crimson at the corners.
She flicked the blood from her saber, raised her eyes, and coldly asked, “Berna, the Envoy of the Holy See, answer me, where is my sister?”
The lanky man chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and said indifferently, “Your Highness has so many sisters, which one are you referring to?”
“Berna, you know who this King is referring to,” Freya’s gaze grew colder.
“Your Highness, please calm your anger.” The lanky man bowed slightly and then went to a screen, tapping a few times.
Immediately, a projection appeared on the ceiling screen, seemingly from a surveillance recording.
In the recording, a humanoid Calamity Beast less than 1.3 meters tall roared at more than a dozen researchers outside a glass room. It had three blood-red eyes and was covered in white fur resembling a snow wolf’s. Beneath the fur, snake scales were faintly visible.
In the next second, with its pained cry, its entire body exploded.
Bloody remains were scattered throughout the glass room, and dark Calamity Mist dispersed and swirled within, causing the laboratory to shake violently.
The researchers instinctively took a step back, and the recording blacked out and ended.
“Your Highness, as you can see,”
The lanky man shook his head with a hint of regret and smiled, “Your sister did not survive the experiment. She died.”
