"I’m done speaking."
Leone leaned back in her seat, turning to look at Red Eye, who also fought Su Xiao.
"Then let share my view. That enemy nad Bai Ye has very strong sword technique, stronger than mine."
Red Eye’s words surprised everyone present.
"Stronger sword technique than yours?"
Najenda was a bit incredulous, and after pondering for a mont, she took out a notebook and began taking notes.
"Yes, stronger than mine. And just like Leone said, he escaped in the direction with more people after being tracked. I crossed half the Imperial Capital and went through two secret passages before losing that man.
The most important point is, when exchanging blows with that man, I had a strange feeling as if he wasn’t going all out, as if sothing was being concealed. Previously, BOSS said he was loyal to Esdeath, which I slightly doubt. That guy doesn’t seem like the type to be loyal to just anyone; he might have another motive."
Red Eye stopped speaking and looked at Mine.
Mine shrugged.
"I stayed at a distance the whole ti and didn’t feel too much, but one thing I can confirm is that man’s perception is very strong; I didn’t hit him with a single shot, though that was partly because I wasn’t feeling much of a sense of crisis at the ti, and the power of the Romantic Cannon was only moderate."
After the three’s recounts, Najenda had a better understanding of Su Xiao, and she put down her pen after listing information about Su Xiao in her notebook.
Najenda began speaking:
"From my summary, the enemy’s abilities consist of the following points.
1. Sword technique stronger than Red Eye’s, the toughest to deal with.
2. A certain ’electric toxin’ on the sword, capable of invading the human body and causing great pain.
3. Very strong tracking ability.
4. Very strong perception.
5. Ruthless strikes, rich combat experience.
6. Unknown motives.
This is all the information. Does anyone have anything to add?"
Najenda looked at the other six people, who all shook their heads.
"Damn, with this guy’s demonstrated strength, he’s like another Esdeath, though not as terrifying in war as Esdeath, in so aspects stronger than Esdeath. Esdeath doesn’t have the ability to track enemies over a hundred kiloters."
Najenda felt very troubled and exhausted; the Revolutionary army’s victory was in sight, yet out of nowhere ca such a formidable adversary.
"From now on, if four or fewer people encounter this man nad Bai Ye, retreat imdiately. I will devise a strategy to deal with him later. Recently, I will be going away for a few days; our current strength is insufficient to contend against the Imperial Capital’s Anbu. It’s ti to seek help."
The eting ended, and Najenda left overnight.
"Why does it always have to be enemies so strong it makes one despair? Such misfortune."
Mine lanted with a sigh and also got up to leave, while the others sat in silence, with Red Eye staring blankly at the Chun Yu in front of her.
"I’ll use that next ti we et, backlash be damned."
Red Eye picked up Chun Yu and left. Next eting will certainly lead to death, either Red Eye or Su Xiao; the blood feud is already ford, and both sides will try everything to kill each other.
...
The next morning, Su Xiao awoke early.
Habitually, he sat cross-legged on the bed to ditate, as this was already a habit.
But today, Su Xiao vaguely felt sothing was different from usual, and he entered a ditative state in less than a minute.
After an hour of ditation, Su Xiao was surprised to find a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise waiting for his perusal.
[You have comprehended (ditation of Heart), which can be viewed in the skill list.]
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow; he actually comprehended a skill on his own, proving that persisting with ditation every day was a wise choice, now yielding returns.
Opening the skill list, a brand new skill appeared before him.
ditation of Heart: Lv.1 (Passive)
Skill Effect: Slightly enhances perception force, willpower, calms the mind, realization of nature, etc.
This ability can only be improved through personal growth.
...
Like his ability with ditation, the reason for this skill’s ergence was Su Xiao’s prolonged ditation reaching a level recognized by Reincarnation Paradise, that is, reaching Lv.1.
Su Xiao actually wasn’t concerned with how strong his ditation ability was; he mainly used ditation to clear the murderous thoughts on him, to coolly deal with matters and avoid being confused by murderous intent.
Despite killing many people, he hadn’t experienced a breakdown of will but remained very calm, adhering to his plans each ti he entered the Derivative World.
He could kill, but he must not be bewitched by murderous intent, becoming a killing maniac. He killed to achieve objectives, following personal intentions, not killing for the sake of killing.
While neither is particularly noble, the distinction between the two is fundantal.
Stretching, Su Xiao sensed whether there were others within a hundred ters around him. There were few people in the morning. He got up, locked the door, and closed the windows tightly.
Yesterday, he obtained three Imperial Arms, but due to the crowd and eyes last night, he hadn’t taken them out to check. Now was a good opportunity.
Arranging the three Imperial Arms in front of him, Su Xiao found that these three Imperial Arms couldn’t be used, but they were also of high value.

...
All three Imperial Arms could not be used due to incompatibility; the Imperial Arms will choose their master.
Su Xiao had other plans for these Imperial Arms, as he was collecting materials for the "Imperial Relic Reinvention Blueprint."
He already had the main material spirit and three types of item-type Imperial Arms.
Now, he only needed one biological-type Imperial Arm and four more item-type Imperial Arms.
Actually, the secondary materials only required five Imperial Arms, but Su Xiao had seen the sensitive term ’success rate’ on the blueprint. If he dared use five item-type Imperial Arms to synthesize, the blueprint dared to fail him.
Once failed, the loss couldn’t even be described as heartache.
Stowing the three Imperial Arms away, Su Xiao donned a black windbreaker and left the room.
Last night, Esdeath had said that he should wait in a conference room in the Royal Palace this morning, as there was an important matter to discuss.
Su Xiao roughly deduced the matter at hand; the Three Beast Soldiers were dead, and the Anbu under Esdeath had beco an empty shell with only Su Xiao remaining, so it was naturally ti to recruit new mbers.
Given Esdeath’s status in the Imperial Capital, the new mbers recruited for Anbu would naturally be Imperial Tool Users.
Taking a carriage to the Royal Palace, as it was Esdeath’s carriage, there were no obstacles within the Royal Palace.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived at the conference room agreed upon last night.
As a conference room in the Royal Palace, the space was, of course, vast and lavishly decorated, approximately several hundred square ters.
But in this expansive room, there was only a small rectangular conference table in the center, with six seats around it.
Su Xiao casually took a seat, placing Dragon Slash on the conference table before him.
He was contemplating where to find more Imperial Arms; he thought of a possible location, and if he could enter there, the Imperial Arms needed by the blueprint would certainly be gathered,
Click, soone opened the door and entered the conference room.
