For the next few days, I won't be taking any missions. I still need to devour wind element abilities.
Ren Yuanhao casually tossed out a copy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, selling for twenty cents a copy, and teased, "Missy, can you see if this scripture of mine can be exchanged for points?"
The system, after what seemed like a simple calculation, directly provided a number – 5000 points!
"What the hell! What do you mean, this twenty-cent scripture is worth five million?" Ren Yuanhao felt that either the system's intelligence had gone offline, or he was seeing things due to a fever.
"Why can't a genuine Nine Yang Divine Skill be worth five million? This is a good thing. You kid, spending a hundred thousand to get this is like hitting the jackpot. Crucially, with the Nine Yang Divine Skill, your internal strength will become even stronger, completely comparable to a live Mandara gene specimen."
All of this felt too surreal for Ren Yuanhao. He had originally held no hope at all. The book that had been mocked by passersby was actually the genuine Nine Yang Divine Skill!
This situation was akin to you, a lonely dog, digging a piece of inconspicuous, broken stone out of the sand, even cutting your hand and bleeding in the process, only to be ridiculed by colleagues. In a fit of anger, you decide to throw it away, only to discover the back of the stone is transparent, revealing a miniature, ice-frozen beauty within~
Yes, it was like that.
Ren Yuanhao held the Nine Yang Divine Skill, with "twenty cents a copy" printed on the back, and kissed and hugged it in excitement. He immediately thought that perhaps the old man used this scripture to wipe his hands after eating chicken wings, and a wave of nausea washed over him.
"By the way, I suggest you re-compare the scriptures you've learned before with the talisman wood to see if there are any omissions. The completeness of the scripture directly affects your comprehension. Prepare for six days of hellish training."
However, this beautiful thought was shattered by Mu Ziyue's scream in the dead of night.
"Baobao, come here quickly!"
Mu Ziyue had somehow left the big bed and was cowering in the corner, clutching her phone as if she had seen something terrifyingly horrifying. Her face had turned green.
"Not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Ren Yuanhao was actually not asleep. He was cultivating in a hallucination. He had just gained a preliminary understanding of the Nine Yang Divine Skill when he was jolted awake by the girl's pig-like scream.
He could already imagine how the proprietress would perceive this pig-slaughtering yelp.
"I want to sleep too, but I saw Xiao Yue!"
Ren Yuanhao found it difficult to understand her feelings and felt the urge to lie down right there.
"Don't sleep, look at this, it really startled me!"
"I give up on you."
Ren Yuanhao, suddenly awakened, felt as if a taut string in his mind had snapped with a 'pop', causing excruciating pain.
He slowly walked to Mu Ziyue's side and snatched the phone that had so shocked her.
There was a picture on the phone. The dark details were quite good, although the exposure was a bit off. The faces of three women were close together. It didn't seem strange at first glance. Ren Yuanhao threw the phone back to her and got up to leave, but Mu Ziyue grabbed him.
"Look here, zoom in."
After the phone picture was zoomed in, Ren Yuanhao finally understood why Mu Ziyue's face had turned green with fright!
Because the picture had captured Liu Yu's agent. This wasn't important. What was important was that he was rolling up his sleeves, seemingly showing off his muscles, and on his arm, there was a black tattoo.
And this tattoo, when magnified again by Mu Ziyue and restored with some image-repair software, revealed the final image – the black tattoo was actually a gray wolf pattern!
"This man is a member of the Gray Wolves? Given their arrogant demeanor, I'm afraid~"
Ren Yuanhao frowned. He knew very well that the Gray Wolves possessed a large number of Mandara genes. Judging by their sweep of the black market and the way they unceremoniously took Mu Yunyan and Sha Yunba, this organization was definitely not the kind to calmly reason with. Everything was about profit.
"Xiao Yue and Zhao Yishu are probably in danger."
Ren Yuanhao put on his windbreaker and was about to go out, but then he thought that leaving Mu Ziyue behind might also be dangerous.
"You're coming with me too."
"Okay."
...
Ren Yuanhao had already experienced the midnight in Xiling City once. The streetlights were cold and desolate, and the empty streets crisscrossed like the veins of the human body.
"Oh no, we don't even know Yishu sister's address."
"That's not difficult."
As he spoke, Ren Yuanhao took out a delicate and small gift box.
"This is~?"
"A small gift from Zhao Yishu. I can follow the residual scent on it to find her."
"Wow, Baobao, were you a celestial hound in your past life?"
Ren Yuanhao's expression darkened. He then communicated with the system.
"The system is always at your service. One green-skinned insect, 200 points deducted."
A green flying insect quickly disappeared before their eyes. Ren Yuanhao didn't bother with propriety and directly picked up Mu Ziyue, then sprinted away. However, before he could get far, they were ambushed in a dark alley!
Both of them were wearing black night clothes and gripping long sabers. One of them was Liu Yu's agent, and the other was a woman whose face was completely covered by a hood.
"Where are you trying to escape to?"
The agent twisted his neck and suddenly threw something.
In the dim light, Ren Yuanhao saw that it was Zhao Yishu's blue earring!
"Who are you people?" Ren Yuanhao pretended to be ignorant, slowly put down Mu Ziyue, and stood in front of her.
"The ones who want your life."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he threw another object. The ultrasonic device emitted an extremely uncomfortable noise. Ren Yuanhao calmed his mind and suppressed all his abilities. The berserk earth-elemental true qi immediately surged upwards. The man felt his body falter and, in a moment of slight stillness, Ren Yuanhao flashed in front of him.
"Oh? You're not an ability user?"
The man darted out of his true qi range, threw his sabre, and suddenly disappeared. When the sabre grazed Ren Yuanhao's side, the man suddenly appeared on the side of the thrown sabre, gripping its hilt, wielding the sabre like a sword, and striking directly at Mu Ziyue's exposed neck!
This move came too suddenly. Ren Yuanhao had no choice but to use the Star Absorption Technique, restraining the long sabre with immense suction.
However, as soon as the Star Absorption Technique was used, it felt like his throat was being choked. The man, having used a feint, was certainly not going to miss this perfect opportunity. He pulled the long sabre with great force, thrusting it obliquely into Ren Yuanhao's shoulder!
"Brother Bao!"
Mu Ziyue cried out in alarm. As soon as she stepped forward, she was kicked away by the man, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and immediately fainted.
