Chapter 106: The Giant Ship (1 more)

[Attributes Points: 5→3.]

[Phantom White Kick (Intermediate Bloom Grade) → Phantom White Kick (Intermediate Bloom Grade/Initial Insight).]

Creak creak!

Both legs emitted the sound of bone friction, gaining explosive power as if undergoing a qualitative transformation.

Snap.

At that moment, beside him, Bie Huzi seemed to hear the movement of Fang Yu’s legs, and placed a large hand on his thigh, whispering.

"Don’t be impulsive, wait for the order, it’s not time yet."

Fang Yu: ???

I didn’t plan to do anything, you might be misunderstanding something.

Fortunately, Bie Huzi withdrew his hand by then; it was merely a reminder, or perhaps a warning, nothing more.

Fang Yu was actually thinking about further enhancing his running ability.

Having a demon squatting nearby, it indeed wasn’t right to make big movements.

Phantom White Kick had been advanced to the initial insight of the Intermediate Bloom Grade.

That is, it was now on the same level as Solid Foundation Technique.

By now, it should be able to achieve the same effect as Solid Foundation Technique, covering with Bone Armor.

Both legs and fists equipped with Bone Armor, Fang Yu was quite satisfied; ready to attack when needed and capable of escaping when necessary.

This would be helpful for how to handle any situation that might arise next.

With 3 attribute points left, Fang Yu thought it over and decided to give a chance to Twin Zero Swordsmanship.

After all, it’s not that it’s inadequate, it’s purely that its level is too low, unable to keep up with its two senior martial arts.

The most important thing is that it’s a part of a system; synchronizing the upgrade is never wrong.

Moreover, upgrading a skill at the Intermediate Bloom Grade costs 2 attribute points.

At the initial stage, 1 attribute point upgrades a minor realm, which is very cost-effective.

[Attribute Points: 3→0.]

[Twin Zero Swordsmanship (Somewhat Proficient) → Twin Zero Swordsmanship (Perfected).]

With a series of selections, it went from Somewhat Proficient, advancing through progressively fine stages and reaching Perfection all at once!

Achieving it in one step.

This is the unique advantage of a player.

If only experience points were easier to earn and attribute points easier to accumulate.

Otherwise, with this efficiency,

Today I am an apprentice in the Martial Arts Hall, tomorrow I’ll be the head of the Martial Arts Hall!

However, upon reaching Perfection in Twin Zero Swordsmanship, Fang Yu didn’t feel much different.

After all, he only had a longsword on hand and couldn’t be bothered to pair it with a dagger blade.

Moreover, he couldn’t figure out, with his Bone Fist and Bone Legs dealing direct, forceful strikes, why he would need two swords.

He didn’t quite understand why Swordsmanship would become associated martial arts.

"Hey!"

Just then, Thousand Blood Demon Bie Huzi beside him suddenly sneered.

Fang Yu was startled, following his gaze only to discover a giant ship approaching the dock in the distance.

The ship’s huge size dwarfed the big ships moored at the dock.

It would take three to five ships to match the size of this giant vessel.

Unlike other vessels at the dock, this giant ship sported a flag with ’Lin’ character, uniquely distinguishable.

"What’s happening?" Fang Yu asked softly.

Bie Huzi, hearing this, looked strangely at Fang Yu.

"Your target has arrived, aren’t you going to prepare?"

Me? Prepare?

What am I preparing for?

Fang Yu was baffled.

He figured although he arrived with a slight delay,

Around noon, just reaching the dock.

But damn, there was no one to meet with me, nor did anyone tell me what to do.

Why has that giant ship suddenly become my target?

As Fang Yu was puzzled, Yue Guang walked over to this side.

He gave Bie Huzi a look, and Bie Huzi walked into the crowd. Judging by the direction, he seemed to be heading towards another ship docked at the port.

Fang Yu found it somewhat strange.

This Yue Guang clearly didn’t have much health either, and it was increased step by step.

Just like himself, probably also low on blood, why does it feel like every demon listens to him obediently.

Is his status that high?

Yue Guang sat next to Fang Yu, chewing on dried meat, scanning the surroundings with his gaze, and said in a low voice.

"Diao Deyi, Shuang Xuyao didn’t come, right?"

Huh?

Shuang Xuyao?

You’re asking this now?

She’s in the Foolish Underworld’s prison, tortured beyond recognition.

Everyone who sees her tries to rewire her brain and she screams for help, how could she even come?

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu shook his head slightly.

"Shaking your head? You don’t know, or are you sure she didn’t come?"

"...I don’t know."

Yue Guang frowned, feeling inexplicably irritated in his heart.

"Today is the day the plan is to be launched, she hasn’t contacted you? You didn’t contact her either?"

"...I’m not qualified to contact her, I can only receive orders from her unilaterally."

Sly and cautious, never risking himself personally.

Yue Guang sneered in his heart, quite despising this kind of demon.

These types of demons always fancy themselves as wise and strategic, giving a false impression of being good at scheming but not at fighting.

In reality, they are just cowardly.

In contrast, under Shuang Xuyao’s command, Fang Yu, who rigorously carries out Shuang Xuyao’s plans and always charges to the forefront as a little demon, seemed somewhat more agreeable to Yue Guang.

At least, this guy really takes risks, risking being discovered by the Foolish Underworld at any moment, deeply infiltrating it.

Thinking this, Yue Guang felt a bit more appreciation for Fang Yu.

Previously, he was quite wary of Shuang Xuyao, and by extension, somewhat loath towards Fang Yu.

Now that Shuang Xuyao had completely lost his trust, and without fighting alongside him on the frontline, such a demon was not worthy of trust.

But this subordinate of Shuang Xuyao might be worth recruiting.

Of course, that was after passing today’s test.

Yue Guang’s expression softened a bit and he gently patted Fang Yu’s shoulder.

"Our gathering this time actually starts earlier than noon."

"You weren’t informed because some matters are best left known to as few people as possible."

"After the assembly and discussion, the plan remains mostly the same, only the area we are responsible for will change."

"Diao Deyi, once that Lin Family’s Giant Treasure Ship docks on the shore, you go up immediately and sabotage it."

"The louder the better, to draw enough attention for us."

Ah?

Ahhhhh?

Fang Yu was a bit stunned, but fortunately he always appeared quite stoic in front of Yue Guang, otherwise it would definitely have given him away.

Me? Sabotage that giant ship? That thing’s as tall as three to four storeys, how am I supposed to sabotage it, by ramming my head into it?

Apparently catching Fang Yu’s confusion, Yue Guang said in a low voice.

"You can rest assured to take a gamble, it’s okay to unleash your Demon Body as long as nobody sees the process. Afterwards, with my methods, I can help you perfectly restore your disguise."

"Whether it’s the tasks Shuang Xuyao has for you, or your undercover mission, none will be affected."

"Don’t worry, in Li Baizhen’s courtyard yesterday, there weren’t just the two of us demons present."

"I can’t tell you who it was, but I can tell you that with the cooperation of us undercover demons, deceiving Li Baizhen and restoring your identity is no problem."

Fang Yu: ...

Looking at Yue Guang’s slightly smug expression, Fang Yu remained silent.

Stop beating around the bush! I know clearer than you how many demons were hiding in there that day!
