Chapter 2366
Katcha!
The green light flashed . Hell King’s head was cut off .
The strange woman was stunned . She stared at the man who looked so skinny, clutching that green sword . All the other creatures around them were dead .
The woman squinted, trying to remember exactly what had happened when she came out of the black stone . She remembered that the skinny man had been in the stone factory when she emerged . He would have been the one she killed first .
But now that she thought about it, she didn’t remember actually killing him; he had been too ordinary to keep her attention . She just tossed some red light his way and ignored him .
“He isn’t dead?” The strange woman looked at the man, who was smiling as he held the green sword . For some reason, when she saw his smile, the woman wanted to smile with him . It was like his smile was contagious .
The woman looked at Ning Yue and said, “You are not bad . If you ally with me, you can use my deified powers . Then, you can become defied as well . Unstoppable . You will become the greatest in the universe . ”
Ning Yue smiled and didn’t answer . He walked slowly toward the woman .
“You don’t believe me?” The woman looked intently at Ning Yue’s face . She knew she should be wary, but she couldn’t resist that infectious smile . She found herself treating him as a friend rather than a foe .
“I believe you,” Ning Yue said seriously .
The woman looked relieved . Somehow, what Ning Yue said felt incredibly trustworthy . His words seemed rock-steady, as if whatever he said had to be a universal truth .
The woman sighed, and just as she was about to respond, Ning Yue used the little green sword to lop her head off .
The woman’s head rolled across the ground, with her red eyes still staring at Ning Yue as if she couldn’t believe what he had just done .
Ning Yue sighed and said, “I believe you can give me power, but I cannot beat the one I wish to with power alone . I need to take this step by step, my way, before I can stand before him . ”
Ning Yue wiped his little green sword . In his mind, he was still standing in that man’s shadow . Determination flashed through Ning Yue’s eyes . Then they became calm again . He walked up to the bodies of the strange woman and Hell King .
…
Han Sen maintained his claim on the primary root king dragon to absorb the king air . He stayed there for a whole month .
The blood kirin also absorbed a lot of king air, and over the month of training, he healed fully . Over the same period of time, Han Sen managed to get five hundred Duke genes .
But The Story of Genes could only open three gene locks before it stopped . As for the rest of the Duke genes Han Sen collected, he used them to open the gene locks of Jadeskin and the Blood-Pulse Sutra .
Jadeskin seemed to have the same limit of three gene locks .
“Opening the first gene lock grants an astral body . Opening the second gene lock provides a celestial body . Opening the third gene lock provides something above a celestial body . The third body feels different from a celestial body, but I can’t pinpoint exactly what that difference is . ” Han Sen was amazed by the results of opening the third gene lock, even if he didn’t fully understand what had happened .
As he trained, he also earned another reward . He managed to bring his Dongxuan Sutra up to the level of Duke . It had an element, but because he didn’t have any more Duke genes, he couldn’t open up any more gene locks .
After The Story of Genes opened its third gene lock, it became difficult to absorb the power of the Kingese in his body . It was like the Kingese had fully merged with Han Sen’s cells, and they could no longer be separated .
Han Sen still wished to stay in King’s Garden to absorb more king air, though . He wanted to open three gene locks for the Blood-Pulse Sutra and the Dongxuan Sutra . His hopes were soon dashed, however, because Bai Ling Shuang eventually showed up .
“Brother Sixteen, I’m headed back to Night Charm Town,” Bai Ling Shuang said in a friendly tone .
“I’d like to go there myself, but I haven’t gotten an invitation . ” Han Sen then thought to himself, “There’s no way that she’s randomly being nice . What does she want this time?”
“I’ll have Cher and the drinks ready . I will be the host tonight . ” Bai Ling Shuang gave him a lazy smile .
“In that case… I’ll be there . ” Han Sen’s eyes were full of greed .
Han Sen didn’t actually want to go, of course . But since Bai Ling Shuang had extended such an explicit invitation, he didn’t think he could turn her down . He would have to go eventually, so agreeing immediately would cast fewer doubts on his identity .
Bai Yi’s ardent desire for Cher was well-known . If he didn’t accept the invitation, that would be very strange .
In the most luxurious suite in Night Charm Town, Han Sen had draped himself over a sofa . He held Cher casually under one arm, and he swirled a glass of wine with his other hand . He looked at Bai Ling Shuang and said, “Sister Ten, tell me what it is you really want . You have been very generous with me this evening . Surely this isn’t simply an opportunity for us to hang out . ”
“The exams for the royal children are coming up soon . What are you planning to do about them, Brother Sixteen?” Bai Ling Shuang asked with a smile .
Han Sen had a sip of wine and squeezed Cher’s butt with a smile . “What can I do? I’m just a first-tier King, and half-deified royal children will be competing . Even some deifieds will participate . What chance do I stand?”
Bai Ling Shuang looked like she wanted to roll her eyes, but she still smiled and said, “Maybe not . The exams are something Father has established so that our progress can be reviewed . We don’t need to be number one . We just need to perform well to impress Father . If we do that, we can be rewarded . ”
After pausing, Bai Ling Shuang said, “I have witnessed your recent progress with my own eyes, Brother Sixteen . If you perform just as well in the exam, Father will notice . You will be heavily rewarded . ”
“I don’t think so,” Han Sen said with an uncomfortable feeling .
Bai Ling Shuang looked at Han Sen for a while and said, “If you really don’t want to get first place in the exams, I have a way in which we can make money . Are you interested in hearing more?”
“I lack pretty much everything . I have a distinct lack of money, too . Please tell me, Sister Ten . ” Han Sen suddenly looked much more alert, and he considered Bai Ling Shuang with interest .
She smiled and said, “You know that in the exam, there is a task that sends you to Bone Mountain? Bone Mountain is obscenely dangerous for ordinary royal children . Aside from Brother Four and Sister Three, who are deified, any other royal child that goes there might fail . Even the crown prince . But Brother Sixteen, you are different . You have the Kingese protection . You can surely reach the peak of Bone Mountain . ”
“Why don’t you just tell me what you’re after?” Han Sen frowned .
“You help me to get to the peak of Bone Mountain, and I will give you whatever you want . ” Bai Ling Shuang’s smile had vanished, and she looked dead serious .
