Chapter 1201: Chapter 1199: Bamboo Stick Insects of the Night Holy City (7)
Indeed, it’s ti for the task segnt we love most.
Exactly what I was hoping for!
“Oh, what kind of rat?”
Faced with Henry’s conditions, Fu Qian felt no displeasure.
Under the current circumstances, there was no need to further provoke the old master.
From words to actions, and even using Yuan Shan’s unawareness of his real strength to make frightening implications of skinning the tiger alive, Fu Qian turned the provocation to its maximum. Yet the outco was still not entirely to his liking.
The swirling vortex was nothing more than a snippet of related power and authority that Henry, as a potential Oath Taker, had exposed.
And even that was distorted.
Henry’s self-deprecation as the contaminated one was indeed quite honest.
Considering the feeling from being hit by the vortex just now, this person was definitely a festering sore on the Prism of Radiant Transformation.
In summary, since further provocation was impossible and there was no outco, it might be better to do sothing else first—figure out how the legendary Midas will beco reality, so as to completely control the task and ensure the choice to complete it at any ti.
…
“His na is Midas, a shaless smuggler.”
As it turned out, Old Master Henry did not change the conditions and quickly repeated the ill deeds of Midas.
Of course, this was still a test for Fu Qian, suggesting that, despite his words, he still hadn’t ruled out the possibility of Fu Qian being contaminated.
Such a reaction couldn’t be more normal.
Imagine a Second Order Transcendent, lying low under an assud na, fortuitously making contact with his cherished student, heroically upholding world peace, and one day inquiring inadvertently if she knew who the Prism of Radiant Transformation was.
Even if the other party really was soone who has risen above low-level tastes, wouldn’t this be too much of a coincidence?
Everyone has their own stakes in the world; with such critical matters at hand, how could suspicions be so easily dismissed?
In fact, that Old Master Henry didn’t opt for a miscarriage of justice by killing off suspects but did not straightaway shake people to death, already shows that he was quite considerate.
“Smuggling? Committing such deeds in a gambling city is simply insane!”
In light of that, after listening seriously to Henry’s narration and even slamming the table to show his cooperation, Fu Qian responded.
“Please be assured, I will definitely find this brazen and shaless scoundrel!”
…
Fu Qian’s overly fervent rhetoric was evidently effective.
Specifically, it was evident from Yuan Shan’s face, which by now was alternating between shades of pallor and flush, as she strived not to look at her teacher.
Even though there wasn’t much introduction of her teacher’s great achievents, knowing Fu Qian’s usual behavior, she still felt he was speaking with tongue in cheek.
From the corner of her eyes, she could tell her teacher was also of a grave countenance, not knowing whether he was provoked—
“Good!”
Lost in thought, she then heard another firm smack on the table as her teacher looked on with admiration.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Yuan Shan, you are more familiar with this place, rember to fully assist Mr. Fang’s actions.”
“Okay…”
Faced with the request, Yuan Shan, shocked for a few seconds, finally responded in a muted voice and sighed to herself.
What in the world was I so worried about!
Do these two really need anyone to care for their feelings?
…
“Are you really Second Phase? How can you be Second Phase?”
Bidding farewell to Old Master Henry and just stepping out of the cathedral hall, Yuan Shan couldn’t help but lean close to Fu Qian and express her roiled emotions.
It was obvious, even now, she still found it difficult to accept this truth.
“Yes, I’ve just advanced.”
To Chief Yuan’s astonishnt, Fu Qian answered quite truthfully.
Just advanced…
Yuan Shan naturally recalled the scene when she recognized this Demigod Tier individual in the market.
At that ti, he had said the sa thing.
The problem is that it has been less than half a year, right?
Even for low-tier Transcendents, this frequency of leveling up is terrifying.
Not to ntion the higher the tier, the more mysterious and unpredictable it becos. Many geniuses struggle all their lives without finding the way.
Genius doesn’t work like that.
“How recent?”
Overwheld by shock, Chief Yuan’s mind had turned to mush, and her questions beca sowhat abstract.
“Hmm… about half an hour ago, I guess.”
Unexpectedly, the other party had seriously calculated the ti.
I should’ve known better than to expect anything from this guy… Wait, half an hour?
Yuan Shan, who subconsciously thought the other was spouting nonsense, suddenly realized sothing.
Wasn’t that right when we had just arrived at Night Holy City?
What on earth was he doing at that ti…
The previous experiences flashed through Yuan Shan’s mind—That egg!
The next mont, a shock went through her heart as she thought of a possibility.
“The thing you ate, was that the final step of your advancent?”
Yuan Shan’s voice could barely hide its hoarseness. The legendary in-battle upgrade was right before her eyes, filling her with a sense of unreality.
Knowing the destination, she assessed the dangers of the journey, not only bringing all sorts of tools but even decisively deciding to break through in the heat of mont?
This was sothing anyone would plan for painstakingly, unwilling to take even the slightest additional risk. And he did it right in front of the Night Watchn with unclear attitudes?
That’s madness!
But on second thought, if he hadn’t been mad, he might not have escaped unscathed just now…
Yuan Shan thought of her teacher’s unexpectedly intense reaction and fell silent for a mont.
The insane action that was incomprehensible to others seed to have been the right choice after all.
If he were only a Demigod, it’s hard to imagine him holding up just now.
“Sorry, it was my misjudgnt.”
The next mont, without waiting for a response, she earnestly apologized.
“I really didn’t expect the teacher to react so violently!”
“It’s okay.”
Seeing Chief Yuan being so serious, Fu Qian smiled and shook his head.
“I figured it out.”
…I really can’t argue with that.
Fu Qian’s comfort was always so refreshingly unconventional, leaving Yuan Shan speechless once again.
By saying that, he was implicitly admitting that her previous question was valid and that the substance in the egg was indeed the final step for promotion.
In fact, thinking back on it, after he drank it, his aura did change significantly, but it was misunderstood due to subtle misdirection.
Dealing with this guy requires constant vigilance!
If you look on the bright side, this also clearly shows that he truly had no intention of deceiving . Otherwise, with such a long ti spent together, my fate would probably look rather grim.
Chief Yuan was quite the optimist, quickly analyzing the situation and quickly coming to a conclusion that improved her mood.
“So how are you feeling now? Do you want to find a place to stabilize your state first?”
The next mont, she even suggested taking a little detour, not sure if it was a form of impolite retribution towards her teacher.
“I feel great, a completely new sensation I’ve never had before!”
However, Fu Qian casually waved his hands in refusal, indicating there was no need to worry.
“Let’s focus on finding that villain first. Just hearing Old Master Henry’s description, my sense of justice is bursting at the seams!”
“…I’ll take you to et a friend, she might have so information.”
Though she didn’t believe any of that justice nonsense, after much effort, Yuan Shan ultimately couldn’t find any words to counter, sighing deeply, she spoke.
