Chapter 1017: Chapter 475: Wandering with the Sky Light and Cloud Shadows!

“Mastermind.”

“The Primordial entry, the hidden prefix entry of ‘Dragon Slayer,’ a name of secret that has never emerged.”

“Description: Generates prefixes continuously for All Things until it matches their Traits, altering their structure and Strength.”

“This action is almost imperceptible to all beings.”

“—Who broke the doll?!”

Shen Ye was somewhat surprised.

He had never seen an entry that provided prefixes specifically for various objects.

He was unsure how powerful the enhancement was.

So he simply picked up a piece of Stone.

“Mastermind” activated!

A shifting prefix appeared on the Stone:

“Broken, beautiful, legendary, noble, lowly, sinful, secret…”

“Stop!” Shen Ye shouted.

The prefix froze.

It was “Damaged.”

“Damaged” Stone.

Crash—

The palm-sized Stone instantly shattered into fragments.

Interesting…

Now he understood how the doll had gotten broken.

As Shen Ye continued to ponder, a faint call emerged from within his Dharma Aspect.

He saw a gravestone embedded in his Dharma Aspect, on which this was inscribed: “Fei Lun, male Skeleton, prematurely deceased, died due to a companion’s deceptive demand, deeply anguished within.”

Shen Ye’s mouth twitched as he spoke: “Don’t be sad, I’ve prepared something tasty for you.”

The candle on the gravestone flickered briefly but went out again.

A new line of small text surfaced on the gravestone:

“Male skeletons aren’t particularly obsessed with food; they value brotherhood more. He hopes there won’t be another performance of death next time.”

Shen Ye snorted, casually pulling out a chunk of Dragon Clan flesh soaked in blood and muttering to himself:

“I heard that there’s a kind of Skeleton that can transform into whatever it eats, so I secretly sliced off a piece of Dragon meat…”

“If that Skeleton doesn’t like it, it’s no big deal. But still, brotherhood being treated as a joke, well, fine, fine.”

The gravestone jumped once before heavily landing back down, and new text appeared:

“Bro! You’re awesome!”

“If this happens again, I’ll die a thousand deaths without hesitation!”

Shen Ye contemplated momentarily, hesitantly saying: “But my brother seems to have depressive tendencies; I feel bad troubling him again.”

New text emerged on the gravestone once more:

“It’s okay! Stabbing knives into one’s ribs for a bro is just routine! Please feel free to leave it to me!”

—It agreed!

Shen Ye chuckled softly, placing the Dragon meat on the gravestone before ignoring it further.

He proceeded to fill the pit where the Long Saber had been buried.

—The Bone Blade fragments can stay buried here.

Anyway, the Big Skeleton will resurrect.

It’s only a matter of Time.

Next—

Deciding quickly, Shen Ye grabbed a piece of Stone and treated it as a Long Saber, practicing Sword Techniques on the spot.

Through the “War Dance Songstress,” he had already performed a high-level Long Hatred Saber Technique and tasted its power.

—High-level Long Hatred Saber Techniques could Summon countless Sword Lights; they were indeed mighty.

Why not train it to high-level now?

He immersed himself in practicing Sword Techniques in the secret passage.

Meanwhile, within the real-time strategy base, his surrogate also started training in the same Technique.

Time passed slowly.

Approximately two hours later.

His identity card vibrated slightly, snapping Shen Ye back to reality.

He noticed new information emerging on the card:

“Wild Monsters issued a duel challenge against humans.”

“Should humans suffer total defeat in the duel, the city will be utterly destroyed by the Wild Monsters.”

“In this critical moment, you have been chosen by the city!”

“Please return to the city immediately and prepare; you will ascend the challenge platform as a duelist!”

Shen Ye froze.

—The Parasitic Empress sure made a big move.

She actually came up with such an efficient method to select personnel.

He glanced again at the lines of Fate on his hand.

Two Fate lines formed a seesaw, swinging up and down repeatedly.

One was black, the other white.

One symbolized Death, the other Survival.

Well then.

Life and death hung in the balance.

Shen Ye pondered briefly but didn’t feel there was anything worth worrying about.

—In this matter, the Parasitic Empress is more anxious than anyone else.

This is merely a method for getting all the Blood Emperors to show themselves before her as quickly as possible.

What kind of master would she select?

Unclear.

Forget it; it doesn’t matter. Becoming stronger is the true way forward.

He had to reach the Twenty Layers of Law Realm quickly!

Nangong Sirui sent a message:

“The rescue team has arrived. Are you coming?”

Of course, I’m coming!

Shen Ye replied to him, immediately tossing aside the Stone and heading toward the path he had come from.

As he walked, he gestured with his fingers, mapping out Techniques.

When he reached the cliff, several lines of faint glowing text silently appeared:

“Congratulations.”

“After more than ten days of focused practice, your Sword Technique, ‘Long Hatred,’ has been upgraded to high-level.”

“The number of Sword Lights with true damage power has reached three thousand.”

It’s done!

One slash equaled three thousand slashes!

This boosted Shen Ye’s confidence, prompting him to quicken his steps and meet Nangong Sirui and Zhang Xiaoyi at the cliff.

The three waited together for over ten minutes.

The surrounding broken walls, soil, and rocks were absorbed by a force, instantly disappearing.

A dozen or so Professionals appeared in the vicinity.

The leading figure shouted:

“Who is Shen Ye?”

“I am.” Shen Ye raised his hand.

“Immediate teleportation! It’s almost time for you to get on the platform!”

The man gestured behind him.

Several Professionals immediately took out various materials and commenced setting up a Teleportation Array.

“Platform?” Nangong Sirui glanced at Shen Ye.

“‘Blood Emperor’ level individuals have to duel—against Monsters.” Shen Ye replied via magical transmission.

“Why didn’t you take care of the entry issue? Isn’t this courting death?” Nangong Sirui couldn’t help but send another transmission.

“…It’s a long story, but this is my decision.” Shen Ye said.

He stepped onto the newly constructed Teleportation Array.

Shh—

Shen Ye’s figure vanished from the ruins.

Nangong Sirui’s expression turned complex, and he muttered softly:

“Reckless… damned… is there any way to help him…”
