Chapter 2232 Pretty Little Boy
“Are you sure you don’t want me to return your favor even if I tell you I have a way of improving your Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one?”
Duan Ling Tian’s words echoed in Huang Wen Jing’s ears, sending jolts to her heart. He had a way to improve her Innate Spiritual Root? Based on what she knew, there was no way one could improve Innate Spiritual Roots. However, the young man standing before her had just said he could help her improve her Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one. A violet Innate Spiritual Root was the best Innate Spiritual Root! Although her current Innate Spiritual Root was not bad, it was only an indigo Innate Spiritual Root. It could not be compared to a violet Innate Spiritual Root at all.
Huang Wen Jing looked at Duan Ling Tian as she asked in a trembling voice, “Y-You can really improve my Innate Spiritual Root?” She would find this hard to believe if someone else told her they were able to improve her Innate Spiritual Root. However, she was 100% certain Duan Ling Tian was not lying to her even though she found the entire thing slightly unbelievable. After all, there was no reason for him to lie to her.
Faced with Huang Wen Jing’s question, Duan Ling Tian replied without any hints of hesitation, “Of course!” He looked at her as he continued to say, “Let’s go! We’ll find prey to improve your Innate Spiritual Root!”
Find prey? Huang Wen Jing was baffled when she heard his words. What did he mean by finding prey to improve her Innate Spiritual Root?
Whoosh!
Huang Wen Jing only regained her senses when she heard the sound of sword slicing in the air. She discovered that Duan Ling Tian had already entered one of the passageways, heading outside. She did not waste any time and follow suit.
Currently, Huang Wen Jing’s heart was in turmoil. She could not understand why they had to find prey to improve her Innate Spiritual Root…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two gusts of wind blew in the wake of Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing who were making their way out. After a while, they arrived at the entrances of the 81 passageways
“So many entrances?”
“Which one should we choose?”
As soon as they arrived at this place, Duan Ling Tian heard a commotion. As it turned out, many people had entered this place. Since these people were not around during the earlier incident, none of them recognized Duan Ling Tian.
“Someone’s coming out!”
Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing’s appearance caught the attention of many people. More and more people shifted their eyes to both of them.
A sturdy and tall middle-aged man walked in the air toward Duan Ling Tian as he asked in a loud and boisterous voice, “Hey, brother! What did you manage to obtain inside? Why don’t you show all of us?” Hints of threats could be heard in his tone.
“That’s right! Why don’t you show us?”
“Brother, don’t keep the treasure to yourself! You might end up having to stay here forever if you anger us!”
Someone laughed and said, “I like how everyone is speaking so bluntly!”
As the middle-aged man walked toward Duan Ling Tian, some of the people present began to comment one after another. Their attention was solely focused on Duan Ling Tian. All of them were curious about what treasures this young man who had walked out of one of the 81 entrances had obtained.
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when the middle-aged man was getting closer to him…
Huang Wen Jing who was following behind Duan Ling Tian finally said in anger, “Scram!” Currently, her expression had returned to that of an ice queen. She was so beautiful that she could topple a nation. She emitted a palpably cold aura.
That middle-aged man who was walking toward Duan Ling Tian suddenly came to a halt when he felt the cold aura. He felt as though he would be frozen if he had continued on. A hint of dread could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Huang Wen Jing. Just her aura alone was so oppressive. Who was this lady?
Meanwhile, the people present shifted their attention to Huang Wen Jing in unison when they heard her speak.
“She looks quite familiar…”
You’re right…”
Many people found Huang Wen Jing familiar, but they could not pinpoint who she was.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian asked Huang Wen Jing, “These people aren’t from the Wandering Saint Palace, right?” Earlier, he had investigated with his Divine Consciousness and confirmed that these people were Human-Devils. They were not humans.
Yes,” Huang Wen Jing replied immediately despite not knowing why Duan Ling Tian would ask such a question. Her expression did not seem as cold when she spoke to him. This shocked the people present.
Who was this purple-clad young man? Why did this ice queen treat him so differently?
All of a sudden, someone cried out, “I remember now! She’s… Huang Wen Jing!’
“Huang Wen Jing? She’s Huang Wen Jing? The most beautiful woman in our Human-Devil clan and the number one powerhouse among the younger generation in the Wandering Saint Palace?”
“It’s really her! No wonder she seems so familiar!”
“Rumor has it that Huang Wen Jing is aloof to everyone she meets. Why is she treating this purple-clad young man so differently? Could it be that she has feelings for this young man?”
“It’s possible!”
“If news of this spread out, I’m certain this young man would be public enemy number one to all the males in the Human-Devil clan!”
As they discussed among themselves, the male Human-Devils had an expression of envy, jealousy, and hatred on their faces when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.
Huang Wen Jing was the most beautiful woman in the Human-Devil clan! How could they not feel envy, jealousy, and hatred now that such a divine flower had been plucked by someone?
If it was before, Huang Wen Jing would have been infuriated when she heard such words, but currently, she only remained silent as she peeped at Duan Ling Tian shyly. She did not care about these people’s words, what she cared about was Duan Ling Tian’s reaction to their words. Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed.
Duan Ling Tian remained emotionless when he heard the discussions in the surroundings as though he did not hear them at all.
Huang Wen Jing felt a pang of dejection when she saw how calm Duan Ling Tian was.
Duan Ling Tian said, “Since they’re not from the Wandering Saint Palace, I guess there’s no need for me to treat them politely!” As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of powerful energy surged out of his body.
Rapid whirlpools appeared out of thin air and completely devoured the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings in just a blink of an eye.
Duan Ling Tian had cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to raise his Sun Saint Origin!
Compared to Time Cave, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was much richer here.
Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Origin continued to rise to a level where it was comparable to a powerhouse at the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but he suddenly encountered a problem. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in here was also not enough to raise his Sun Saint Origin to a level where it was comparable to a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
There’s no doubt I’m able to raise my Sun Saint Origin to the level of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, I’ve completely devoured the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in here. It seems like I must go to an open space if I want to unleash the full potential of the Elementary Devouring Tactic,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here was not as rich since the entrances were narrow, causing it to flow in slowly. For this reason, there was not enough Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy for Duan Ling Tian to further raise his strength. After a while, he chose to stop.
I thought I’ll be able to see the highest limit I can raise my Sun Saint Origin to. However, it seems like I’ll have to wait until I’m outside.’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. In fact, there was no need for him to cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to deal with this group of Human-Devils. He had only done so because he wanted to test the upper limit of his Sun Saint Origin. After all, the most powerful Human-Devil among the crowd was only at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Upon hearing Duan LingTian’s words to Huang Wen Jing, the expression of the middle-aged man darkened. He asked coldly, “What are you trying to do?” He might fear Huang Wen Jing, but it did not mean he feared this pretty little boy!
