Chapter 10 Happy New Year
With motivation comes spirit.
However, before Ling Yunxiao and Houtu could say anything, he was kicked out of this void once again.
Ling Yunxiao slowly woke up and found two groups of people gathered around his bed, looking at him with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm just exhausted."
"That's good. We just received a notification that a strange creature at the peak of the Sea Realm has appeared in Qinghai, and there's more than one. Both of our teams are going there. It might be very dangerous. Are you going with us, or should we leave two of us here to help you kill the smaller monsters?"
“Of course we’re in the same line of work. The little oddities here have been mostly cleared out, so there’s no point in leaving them. Don’t worry about me, I’m actually quite strong enough to protect myself.”
Ling Yunxiao smiled wryly. He had been treated like a baby to gain experience lately, and they wouldn't let him do anything except finish off enemies.
"You can work with me, but you have to promise me that you will never take action unless absolutely necessary."
Wang Mian spoke with utmost seriousness, and everyone watching also wore very solemn expressions. Ling Yunxiao knew they didn't want him to waste his death energy, so he could only quietly nod in agreement.
After the group boarded the plane and rested, Ling Yunxiao summoned the Book of Life and Death and turned to the third page.
"Would you like to consume 5,000 points of vitality to unlock the next page?"
Yes, he discovered when he had 5,000 storage points that the energy consumed to open the next page was variable; whichever of the two energy types he had stored more of would be consumed. This was quite convenient, since increasing lifespan didn't actually consume much energy.
"Witch Doctor: Burn the strange blood to create pure essence blood, consume it to enhance the bloodline of the witch clan and gain physical enhancement."
Upon seeing this skill, the question that had been troubling Ling Yunxiao for so long finally had an answer.
He couldn't understand why, after awakening his own bloodline, he felt nothing, given that the legendary Wu clan bloodline could move mountains and fill seas with physical strength alone.
It turns out it was because my bloodline power was too low. It seems I need to be more proactive and diligent in killing monsters from now on.
He then glanced at the next page and almost cursed, realizing it required 30,000 points!
I led two special squads and had Wu Tongxuan with me. After a month of work, I only managed to get five thousand points!
After the plane landed, before Ling Yunxiao could speak, Wu Tongxuan had already looked at Zhang Xiaohua.
"Xiao Hua, you and Xuanwo stay with Brother Ling and help him out. We'll let you know when we're almost done."
Captain Wang, let's go find the big one first.
Then, without waiting for Ling Yunxiao to speak, they took to the air, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, and disappeared quickly.
Clearly, they had seen Ling Yunxiao's eagerness to try, but they were not prepared to give him the chance to make a move.
"Old dog Wu, why don't you copy the Six Paths of Reincarnation? This Divine Ruins sounds ridiculously powerful."
"You know he's ridiculously strong, yet you still dare to make me try. Aren't you afraid I'll die a horrible death?"
Wu Tongxuan rolled his eyes at Bu Li. He hadn't wanted to return to the team so soon, but he was worried about Bu Li leading three undead and three newly resurrected teammates.
Ling Yunxiao stood on the ground, watching the two groups of people fly away like wild geese, then turned to look at the two people in the vortex.
"You two have been abandoned. Your captain doesn't want you anymore."
Whirlpool waved his hand dismissively, and Little Flower shook her head with a light laugh; neither of them wanted to pay any attention to this truly abandoned person.
Two hours later, Whirlpool and Zhang Xiaohua once again brought a strange creature from the Pool Realm to Ling Yunxiao, who raised his hand and placed it on the creature's brow.
After gaining 100 points each of life and death energy, the eerie energy was also ignited by his hellfire, quickly burning and eventually turning into a drop of essence blood, which fell into Ling Yunxiao's palm and was automatically absorbed by him.
As dusk fell, Zhang Xiaohua received a call from Wu Tongxuan, and the two of them immediately took Ling Yunxiao to an abandoned factory.
Ling Yunxiao arrived and was about to unleash the "Kill" spell when a Star Blade was shoved into his hand.
"Don't waste your energy on the strangeness of the sea realm, just slowly hack away!"
Ling Yunxiao took the Star Blade and leaped into the air, severing the strange neck with a single strike.
"Brother Ling has advanced to the Pool Realm! Congratulations!"
Faced with a barrage of blessings from the Sea Realm and the Klein Realm, Ling Yunxiao felt no joy whatsoever. He lowered his head, intending to return the Star Blade, only to discover his own name engraved on the hilt.
"Here you go! This is what the captain gave you; every Night Watchman gets one."
“We just discussed it, and you will still be my teammate, so you will naturally go on missions with us from now on. The psychic team will have to leave after another month; they have more responsibilities to shoulder.”
"Thank you."
Ling Yunxiao understood Wang Mianhua's words perfectly; he was staring blankly at the Star Blade in his hand.
"Brother Ling, what are you looking at?"
"Who would have thought that the Starblade, an essential weapon for every Night's Watchman, is actually an unranked artifact!"
Ling Yunxiao chuckled and whispered, "This is a weapon made by the Queen Mother of the West that allows ordinary people to cut through strange blades. It's no weaker than the fancy swords of the Baili family."
"Now that we're in Qinghai, let's start clearing away the strange things here!"
Ling Yunxiao drew his sword, facing Qinghai City with great pride.
"Brother Ling, don't get agitated..."
"Cough cough cough... Okay, we'll go first, you stay behind!"
As soon as Wu Tongxuan finished speaking, he was the first to rush out. He had confined himself to a mental hospital for many years, and now Ling Yunxiao had fulfilled most of his wishes and was the one who redeemed his life. Naturally, Wu Laogou would protect him.
A month later, the spiritual medium team left. Ling Yunxiao once again accumulated over five thousand points of life and death energy.
Three months later, with the year-end approaching, the Masked Squad happened to have nothing to do, so they decided to accompany Ling Yunxiao back to Cangnan.
During these three months, due to the numerous tasks, Ling Yunxiao's life and death energy only increased by 10,000, meaning he has now accumulated 15,000 life and death energy.
The group arrived in Cangnan by plane. Before they even reached the airport, five black shadows carrying flames descended from the sky, landing on the ground with a whooshing sound.
"What is that? A weather missile?"
"Are you stupid? Weather missiles are fired into the clouds, but it clearly hit the ground just now!"
"Holy crap... the recruit training camp is blown up!"
As the masked squad approached from the plane, they looked at the ground and quickly spotted the black area near the troop transport vehicle and the golden light in the camp. It seemed there were no casualties.
Wow! Such a huge fireworks display, is it to welcome us?
"Brother Ling, you go find Qi Ye first, we'll go to the recruit training camp."
"Okay! However, since the missile accurately struck the training camp, it would be better if you went there secretly."
After the plane came to a stop, the group parted ways, and Ling Yunxiao randomly hailed a taxi and gave them the address of Hongying's house.
Ling Yunxiao got out of the taxi and politely knocked on the door.
Lin Qiye, who had just woken up, immediately became alert. He looked around and saw that Chen Muye, Wu Xiangnan, Hong Ying, Wen Qimo, Si Xiaonan, Instructor Hong... everyone was there, which reassured him. Xiaonan thought that Leng Xuan had come in and casually opened the door of the villa.
Happy New Year, everyone!
