Sun Miaohan paused slightly, then continued, "And for soone who has long been in the dark, once they expose themselves, I don’t need to say more, do I?"
Xiao Tian nodded slowly, with a newfound appreciation in his gaze toward Sun Miaohan. Being able to pinpoint the weaknesses of experts like Thunder King Salon and Hidden Needle at a glance was reason enough for him to hold her in high regard.
In fact, Sun Miaohan wasn’t wrong; when Xiao Tian confronted Hidden Needle, didn’t he use the energy of the Five Elents Crystal to see through the shadows of Hidden Needle?!
An assassin is different from a killer. A killer can disguise, lurk, or even blend into the target’s surroundings step by step to execute the plan.
However, at this mont, there is only one path: to strike with lightning speed when the enemy is unprepared and then make a swift escape. The opportunity only cos once.
Therefore, an assassin who has been seen through is still a failure whether or not they succeed.
This was also why Hidden Needle couldn’t maintain composure upon seeing Xiao Tian!
The question is...
"So, how can you isolate him from the surrounding True Qi?" Xiao Tian asked.
Although Xiao Tian had personally experienced similar thods, like Huang Feihu’s True Qi Cage, they required strict cultivation techniques.
At least in his Iron Chain Cross River, he hadn’t found such a move for the ti being.
"You don’t need to worry about that." Sun Miaohan said as she took out a small bell from her pocket. "When the ti cos, infuse it with True Qi, and it will create an isolated area covering a radius of five zhang."
"However, I must remind you that the treasure itself requires so True Qi to maintain." Sun Miaohan instructed seriously. "So, you must ensure the True Qi flows smoothly without interruption."
Xiao Tian accepted the treasure from Sun Miaohan with equal seriousness, then asked, "Do you have any other treasures on you? Show them to , maybe they’ll co in handy."
Sun Miaohan rolled her eyes at Xiao Tian’s greed, "Do I look like a treasure to you? Why not take instead!"
"Eh?!" Xiao Tian’s eyes lit up suddenly, "What you just said gave an idea. When the ti cos, if we can’t win, I’ll throw you out, and then you can self-destruct your True Qi. That scene would be quite spectacular!"
Monts later, seeing the young woman before him panting heavily with eyes like burning flas, Xiao Tian awkwardly asked, "Why are you looking at like that?!"
"I’m just wondering how soone like you, destined to be single for life, could possibly have a girlfriend!"
With that, Sun Miaohan huffed and turned her head away, ignoring Xiao Tian completely.
...
After setting up camp, it was already close to midnight, with experts arriving constantly, so of substantial strength.
Yet, Xiao Tian undoubtedly beca the focus of everyone. Although there was no one around for dozens of ters, he could still feel many people watching him from the shadows.
The reason for being the focus was not only because of the Dark List forum news and his own fa as a Hunter.
It was also due to Sun Miaohan beside him... or rather, Sun Miaohan’s bulging belly, which drew the curious eyes of many experts.
Amidst this bizarre calm, no one could fully relax.
At this ti, Xiao Tian was sitting by the bonfire, seriously calculating his chances against Thunder King Salon and Hidden Needle.
Though with Sun Miaohan’s strategies, everything seed to be in hand, he couldn’t help but worry.
Plans are just plans, and if any part goes wrong without a backup plan, it would inevitably lead to chaos.
Xiao Tian didn’t know the significance of the Shaking Light Disc to Sun Miaohan, but he understood its utmost importance to himself.
Without it, the unlocking of the Five Elents Crystal would stagnate, and his strength couldn’t be restored.
It’s been almost half a year since his strength declined, and though he had so exciting experiences in between, dangers and crises were ever-present, and the situation wasn’t much better.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but smile wryly, gazing at the stars in the night sky, filled with indescribable complex emotions...
As Xiao Tian was lost in thought, a graceful silhouette suddenly appeared beside him, though the figure’s waistline was noticeably expanded.
"What are you thinking about?" Sun Miaohan asked curiously, joking, "Looking like such a literary youth, are you waiting for so maiden?"
Xiao Tian shook his head, showing no anger, though his mood was evidently low.
With an innate talent for reading people, Sun Miaohan saw Xiao Tian’s expression and gave a bright smile: "Are you interested in hearing my story?"
"If you want to talk about it, that’s fine with !" Xiao Tian replied casually.
Sun Miaohan sighed as if affected by Xiao Tian’s mood, lanting, "The way you just said that sounds exactly like Ji Dantong."
Without waiting for Xiao Tian to respond, she continued, "I, since I was young, have never known who my parents were. According to so elders in the sect, I was found outside the gate."
Xiao Tian frowned, looking at Sun Miaohan’s contemplative face, gaining so insight into her character.
"Since I can rember, I’ve always lived within the sect gates. Unlike other senior and junior sisters who have the chance to see their parents once a year, I’ve always imagined how nice it would be if my parents could co see too!"
"But fortunately, it’s just once a year, and after that day, life goes on as usual." Sun Miaohan said, laughing lightly as if mocking herself.
After a brief pause, Sun Miaohan continued, "I swore back then to be better than everyone else, so I worked doubly hard to get everything I wanted!"
"Later, when I indeed achieved sothing among the younger disciples, I realized I didn’t have a single friend around , except for that fool who never won a bet against !"
At this point, Xiao Tian’s heart skipped a beat, as it seed the story was taking an unexpected turn!
However, Sun Miaohan apparently didn’t notice Xiao Tian’s reaction and asked, "You probably know who I’m talking about, right?"
Xiao Tian nodded with a complex expression, "Ji Dantong!"
"That’s right!"
Sun Miaohan said, "Though she seems a bit slow, she was indeed the only one in the sect who didn’t flatter or envy for any of my achievents!"
"I rember our first bet was over an eraser..."
...
Half an hour later, as Sun Miaohan recounted her one hundred and seventy-sixth bet with Ji Dantong, Xiao Tian finally couldn’t sit still.
