Chapter 464: I, Xia Feng, Will Definitely Eat Auntie’s Handout!
Greed was Xia Feng’s weakness. He couldn’t let such a good opportunity slip away, nor could he bear to watch three drops of demon blood disappear before his eyes. That was a full 6% of his repair progress! However, killing a Near-god level being was clearly a fantasy for him alone.
While contemplating, he and He Jianzhu floated towards the central black candle. The Heart Calamity Demon Blood at the bottom of the tower was the condition for activating the Refining God Tower. Refining this black candle wouldn’t consume the Heart Calamity Demon Blood; the only thing that would be consumed was the refiner’s Mental Power. Moreover, as Mental Power decreased, the ability to resist the Bloodworm’s invasion would significantly weaken, posing a constant threat to life.
Of course, Xia Feng wasn’t resisting with the physique of a Divine Half-dragon, but with the Calamity Demon Heart, so he naturally wasn’t afraid at all. But he still had to act the part.
He placed his hand above the black candle. After a while, his body swayed, his face turned red, and he put on a pained expression as if his soul was being eroded by the Bloodworm. But in the next instant, he felt a soft pressure behind him. A mature and plump curve pressed against him, and a woman’s arm wrapped around his waist. Her delicate hand clasped his, and her mature, gentle voice whispered in his ear, “Are you alright?”
Xia Feng: “.”
“No, Miss Jian Zhu, are you taking advantage of me?” Xia Feng’s eyelids twitched. He clicked his tongue, “I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person.”
He Jianzhu hadn’t expected this brat to be so clueless. She had been so good to him, yet he was still mocking and teasing her! Simply detestable!
“You rotten kid, let me remind you, Ri Nuo is not a good person who keeps his promises.” He Jianzhu’s expression was calm. Her red lips brushed against Xia Feng’s earlobe, and she spoke not aloud but through telepathic transmission, “Once you help him complete the unsealing, your death will be imminent. I’m just a clone anyway, so I don’t fear anything. You, however, are done for~”
Xia Feng’s black eyes narrowed slightly as he quietly stared ahead. Miss Jian Zhu’s delicate hand slid from his hand, and their fingers intertwined. The two hands were placed above the black candle, emitting a faint silver light. This light, like the scorching Blazing Sun, illuminated the candle, melting it bit by bit. Ri Nuo had given them a ten-minute deadline, but in reality, the refining could be completed in nine minutes. As long as one could withstand the Bloodworm’s invasion, obtaining the Refining God Tower’s authority made the refining process very simple.
Xia Feng naturally knew that Ri Nuo wouldn’t be benevolent. When the refining was complete, it would likely be the time for his head to roll. While contemplating, Xia Feng pretended to be weak and sweating on his forehead, while telepathically asking in his mind, “Miss Jian Zhu, what abilities do you have?”
“Oh? Brat, are you asking Auntie for help?” A voice full of interest whispered in his ear. The soft breath tickled his earlobe, and Xia Feng flinched. For some reason, he had a feeling this woman was deliberately seducing him. But perhaps he was overthinking it. After all, why would such a powerful and mysterious woman be interested in seducing him? Shaking off the delusional thought, Xia Feng shook his head and openly admitted, “Yes, I am asking you for help.”
Xia Feng blinked and turned his face, his black eyes earnestly staring at the woman who bore a striking resemblance to Miss Mu. He smiled, “Please, Auntie Jian Zhu, help this child.”
“.” He Jianzhu hadn’t expected this brat to be so shameless. She pursed her lips and softly said, “You should still call me Miss Jian Zhu.”
“Okay.” Xia Feng blinked his black eyes, feigning obedience, “Miss Jian Zhu, what abilities do you have?” Seeing the brat suddenly become so obedient, He Jianzhu felt a bit unaccustomed. This kid had been so arrogant before, slapping her backside… She could only say he was a remarkably shameless and audacious brat. However, He Jianzhu thought that his obedient appearance was more likable. Simultaneously, she telepathically transmitted, “I do have a Spirit Robe here that you might be interested in.”
“Spirit Robe?”
“Mmm.” He Jianzhu’s eyes softened, and she nodded gently. “Open your mind, don’t resist, and I will transmit the relevant information to you.” Letting others invade one’s mind was not a safe thing, but Xia Feng nodded without hesitation. Although he still didn’t understand He Jianzhu’s purpose, she had been helping him all this time, and that was enough.
Soon, Spirit Robe information appeared in his mind.
[B-grade Spirit Robe · Technique of Body Snatching and Transformation]
[This is a Legendary B-grade Spirit Robe. Those who learn this Spirit Robe, if they possess ‘resurrection and rebirth’ abilities, can use it in conjunction with their resurrection ability to usurp others!]
[Body Snatching: If the target’s body has no soul, you can directly invade. The soul will fuse with the target body, but there will be a severe ‘soul-body rejection reaction,’ allowing you to control the body for only 1 year.]
[Usurpation: If the target body has a soul, you must contend with the target using your Mental Power— If your Mental Power is lower than the target’s, you can only attach yourself to their soul and can be eliminated by the target at any time. If your Mental Power is higher than the target’s, you can successfully invade and usurp, but you will still need to contend with the target’s soul continuously; If your Mental Power far exceeds the target’s, you can successfully usurp and gain primary control of the target body, sealing the target’s soul! If your Mental Power vastly surpasses the target’s, you can slowly erase the target’s soul within 10 years.]
[Note: This Spirit Robe must be used in conjunction with ‘resurrection and rebirth’ abilities. This Spirit Robe itself does not possess resurrection and rebirth abilities.]
This… is quite impressive, Xia Feng thought with surprise. So there really were usurpation-type Spirit Robes in this world. He had indeed learned about them in textbooks when he was in school, but he had always thought they were rumors.
“How is it? Is this Spirit Robe helpful to you?” the silver-haired woman asked softly, her eyes curved. Upon seeing the information about the Body Snatching and Transformation technique, a plan instantly formed in Xia Feng’s mind. It was a plan to kill the Peach Blossom Star Lord, seize his treasures, and take the Refining God Tower to escape. The only difficulty was that he absolutely couldn’t learn this Legendary B-grade Spirit Robe!
Two minutes had already passed, meaning he had to learn this Spirit Robe within eight minutes. But without Miss Mu, he was a nobody. Learning it was impossible. And within eight minutes at that! It was at this moment that Xia Feng inexplicably missed Miss Mu. Indeed, Miss Mu’s handouts tasted the best. If Miss Mu were here, learning this wouldn’t take eight minutes; it would be done in less than eight seconds!
“What’s wrong? Is it not useful?”
“It is useful, but I can’t learn it, Miss Jian Zhu.” Xia Feng said helplessly, “You don’t think I’m a peerless genius like your daughter, do you?”
“Is that so…” The silver-haired woman smiled slightly, gently pinching Xia Feng’s cheek with her delicate finger. Her golden eyes under the elegant half-frame gold-rimmed glasses were gentle, and the corners of her eyes curved imperceptibly. “You can’t learn it, but I can make you learn it. It won’t even take eight minutes; eight seconds will be enough.”
“Ah?!” Xia Feng was startled, his black pupils dilating. No, what did that mean? Is your whole family this overpowered? Well, if I can’t eat Miss Mu’s handout, eating Aunt Jian Zhu’s handout isn’t a bad option either! Xia Feng’s black eyes gleamed as he decided in his heart to treat this aunt better in the future. In any case, he, Xia Feng, was determined to eat this handout! However, aside from the Calamity Demon Heart’s synchronization ability, what other overpowered ability could quickly learn a Spirit Robe in this world?
