Cockscomb Theft
Xia Fei did not find anything special about this martial art technique, so he was just about to toss it back into the chest when Lionheart Emperor Oro suddenly said, "Stop! Let me take a closer look at this. "
Xia Fei smiled. "Didnt you say that you wont look at anything below grade 6? This is only grade 5."
Oro strangely said, "There are always exceptions to everything. I recall that you have a combat technique that uses the Law of Space to imitate the changes in the air?"
Xia Fei nodded. "There is indeed. It's called Chain Blockade, a rank 3 martial technique."
"What level have you reached?"
"There are seven stages to Chain Blockade, and I've already completed all of them, so I can bring out the full potential of this martial arts technique," Xia Fei answered.
"Then let's start practicing this set. 'Golden Sand Dance' and 'Chain Blockade' both use the Laws of Space to simulate the explosive power of a tornado. 'Golden Sand Dance' is an advanced version of 'Chain Blockade'. It adds some small spatial explosions, and its attack power can be increased by more than 50%."
"Your Chain Blockade has a large area of effect, but it doesn't have enough power. It won't be effective against Warriors of a slightly higher level. Besides, you've already practiced it to the extreme, so there's no potential for improvement. It's time for you to switch to a new set of martial arts techniques."
Xia Fei seemed to have realized something. Chain Blockade was Xia Fei's only large-scale killing technique, and it was quite good in itself. Unfortunately, Xia Fei had advanced too quickly, and Chain Blockade was no longer able to satisfy Xia Fei's current combat needs, so he needed to switch to a new technique.
Lionheart Emperor Oro's Golden Sand Dance was similar to Chain Blockade, and Xia Fei would not have any trouble getting used to it, getting twice the result with half the effort.
"Star Remnant Swaying? Not bad, not bad. Put it away. "
"Four Ring Evil Golden Hook? Not bad, take it, take it. "
"Hundred Slashing Earth Hibiscus? It's a waste to leave it here. "
…
Xia Fei was dumbfounded. There was no lack of grade 4 or even grade 5 martial arts techniques in the next chest, and Lionheart Emperor Oro had picked ninety-nine of them for Xia Fei in one go! Most of them were Level Five!
Xia Fei frowned as he held the large pile of martial arts techniques in his hands. "So many? How long would it take for him to finish cultivating? We have an old saying on Earth, 'don't bite off more than you can chew'. "
The old demon lord nonchalantly said, "I know that there's an old saying in your hometown: 'It's never a bad thing to have more skills.'"
Xia Fei was speechless. He had never tried cultivating so many martial arts techniques at the same time, so he had no idea if it would work or not. However, with Xia Fei's insight, he could clearly tell that each of the martial arts techniques Oro had chosen had their own unique characteristics. After all, he was a great demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years, so his insight was no joke.
Hiding in the darkness, Lionheart Emperor Oro smirked. "Since there are so many martial arts techniques in front of me, let me test Xia Fei and see just where his explosive point lies."
What Xia Fei did not know was that Oro's exaggerated choice of ninety-nine martial arts techniques had an ulterior motive: he wanted to know Xia Fei's true potential!
…
Once he was done screening the combat technique, Xia Fei did not stop to check out the last shelf.
"White Swallow Gems!"
"Dark Azure Glass Lock!"
Xia Fei was on the verge of fainting from happiness. Phantom stared wide-eyed from the side. Even an important figure like Lionheart Emperor Oro felt that this treasury was rather valuable.
"Heh, it seems that the Huang family has a lot of good stuff. This also confirms my judgment that they were killed because they offended some important figure that they couldn't afford to offend," Oro said.
"That's right, that's right," Xia Fei was so excited that he was practically drooling as he vaguely answered.
Lionheart Emperor Oro sighed. "Can't you set your sights a little further? This is just the most basic treasury. Once you have the qualifications to open the second floor, you'll definitely be a thousand times more excited than you are now …"
The old demon lord's voice became softer and softer, eventually becoming absent-minded chatter. This was because at this moment, Xia Fei took out a cockscomb-shaped herb from the chest. It gave off an alluring smell, and the moment it appeared, the entire treasury was filled with its fragrance.
"Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance! To think that the Huang family would casually leave the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance in a place like this! What a waste! "Lionheart Emperor Oro angrily said.
"Is the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance that amazing? I feel like this smell is a little too much. "
Oro rolled his eyes at Xia Fei. "The smell of the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance isn't too strong, but its effects are unparalleled. Its extract can unreservedly release the most alluring scent of life.
"Let me give you an example. If you smear a drop of the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance's juice on your body, vegetarians will treat you like the most delicious vegetable and eat you, while those who like to eat meat will treat you like the most delicious pufferfish, unable to resist taking a few bites.
"In short, once someone is invaded by the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance's juice, their appetite will be whetted, regardless of whether they have a good or bad appetite."
Xia Fei was shocked. To think that there was such a sinister plant in this world, using all sorts of methods to lure others to eat it. If someone with ulterior motives smeared this on a monster, who knew how many people would lose their lives!
Xia Fei chuckled as he placed the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance into his ring. Oro nodded in satisfaction. "With the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance, I don't need the Furious Lotus or the Green Python anymore. If I smear the juice on the Nine Night Plum, Peacock Blue will mistake it for a delicacy and devour it without a care!"
Xia Fei was enlightened. It turned out that the modification plan Oro had mentioned to Peacock Blue was the fusion of devouring! Fusing two divine armaments into one! Creating an even greater power!
…
After understanding the history of the Atlantis clan, obtaining ninety-nine rather powerful martial arts techniques, obtaining more than eight million grade 4 Origin Crystals, and obtaining the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance that allowed the Nine Night Plum to fuse with Peacock Blue, Xia Fei finally realized that he had picked up a super treasure: the Huang family's treasury and bank account!
There was no doubt that this extinct clan had once flourished. Regardless of why they had fallen, the most important thing was that all of their assets had belonged to Xia Fei. Moreover, as Xia Fei's rank increased, he would be qualified to open the second and even third tier treasury!
Wealth that could rival a nation!
It was not an exaggeration to use these words to describe the current Xia Fei!
In Black Lion City, Heathfield once more set up a banquet to entertain Xia Fei and Chen Dong.
Early this morning, Xia Fei had gone to Rock Bank, and Heathfield had not been idle. He had inspected Chen Dong both openly and secretly. There was nothing to be said about his cultivation, but his persistence and determination were rare in the world. Then, there were the scars all over his body, which left Heathfield utterly shocked.
The Lionhearts were a valiant race that revered strength and worshiped warriors.
In their eyes, scars were not scars but rather medals! They symbolized the dignity of a warrior!
Thus, Heathfield gained even more respect for Chen Dong, liking him more the more he looked at him.
"This is for you." Before leaving, Xia Fei handed Chen Dong a spatial ring with one thousand cubic meters of space. In the Law Realm, the Law of Space made such storage devices very common, but a super tool like Xia Fei's, which had ten thousand cubic meters of space, was still very rare. After all, the creation of a spatial ring did not just require raw materials, but also a master of the Law of Space.
"What's this?" Chen Dong curiously asked.
"Ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals, twenty kilograms of White Swallow Gems, seventeen sets of Law of Matter martial techniques, and some medicine that I've concocted. Every bottle has a description on it, and as for the rest … cough, I can't remember what's left. Take your time and see for yourself," Xia Fei casually said.
"Ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals! Twenty kilograms of White Swallow Gems?! "Chen Dong's eyes widened." Did you just strike it rich? Then what's the point of me staying in Black Lion City? I might as well just follow you! Oh my god! "
Xia Fei smiled and patted Chen Dong on the shoulder. "Don't be silly. You know how powerful the Lionhearts are, and it's rare for Heathfield to think so highly of you. Your future is bound to be limitless, far better than following a troublesome fellow like me."
"That's true. I'm already worried about your endless troubles. When will it end?" Chen Dong scratched his head. "I'll keep the White Swallow Gems and the martial techniques, but I don't want the money. It's not like I'm spending a single cent to cultivate here, so why would I need so much money?"
"Just in case. The Law Realm is very cruel and crazy." Xia Fei was too embarrassed to say anything in front of the old demon lord, so all he did was remind him of the cannibalism of the Law Realm. After the incident with Yuhua, Xia Fei found it very difficult to trust anyone in the Law Realm.
"Words cannot express my gratitude. Whenever you plan on killing those people who stabbed you in the back, just let me know. I, Chen Dong, will say this today. If I take even half a step back, I'll be a grandson!" Chen Dong patted his chest and said.
Xia Fei chuckled. "I wouldn't be Xia Fei if I asked you to help me. I'll return the favor tenfold to anyone who makes me unhappy! "
…
After returning to Steel City and greeting Avril, Xia Fei got to work. He followed Lionheart Emperor Oro's instructions and set up a room with impenetrable walls.
Fusing an Immemorial Mystical Armament was no simple task. He needed two apex plants that stood proudly in the universe to devour each other, absorbing each other's strengths and combining them into a new, heaven-defying weapon. He needed to be careful, and no matter how careful he was, Xia Fei would not be able to afford any mishaps.
Sentinel Goddess Sophie had once again asked for Spectre. He had no idea what this ghost and robot duo were up to. Even stranger was that Spectre did not reject Sophie at all. Back when Xia Fei had left Spectre by the Sentinel Goddess' side, Spectre had nearly cried from anxiety, but now, it seemed that Spectre was more than happy to hang out with Sophie.
Xia Fei asked them what they were up to. The two of them kept their mouths shut, and Xia Fei could not be bothered with them. Nothing was more important than Peacock Blue absorbing the Nine Night Plum. Xia Fei was rather looking forward to what Peacock Blue would look like after it was fused.
The efficiency of the robot army was nothing to scoff at. In three days, a domed, four-story alloy structure had been erected on the outskirts of Steel City. This structure was not only sturdy but also completely airtight. Not even a single air molecule could escape.
The domed structure was sealed, and Xia Fei, wearing Edgeless, stood guard in front of a set of medicinal equipment.
Exhaling, Xia Fei sternly said, "Let's begin. I'm ready."
Lionheart Emperor Oro nodded, his eyebrows knitting together as he solemnly said, "Then let's begin the first step. Extract the Cockscomb Stolen Fragrance's juice."
PS: I've finally made it in time. Jiu 'er had not slept since last night. An entire night on the train and more than a hundred subway stops, Jiu' er had personally experienced what it meant to be exhausted, to the point where she had almost fallen asleep while typing.
However, she still had to do the work. No matter how tired she was, she could not slack off, or else she would be letting down everyone's support.
