Chapter 388: 249: Absorption and Difficulties in Cultivating Secret Skills
Mr. Chou appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The number of people he captured this time was not large.
As time went on, there were fewer and fewer people in Bianchuan City and the surrounding cities who met their target criteria.
Most of the remaining ones were tough ones for the Godly Humans Association.
In addition, the Cactus group also absorbed quite a few Heavenly Person cells from the members of the Godly Humans Association.
Even if the Holy Sect searched on a large scale, the results were minimal.
They could only choose to continue searching outward, and the harvest would not be as abundant as in the previous days.
As for this,
Chen Sheng knew it well and didn’t blame Chou and Mao.
“Greetings, sir!”
The moment Mr. Chou appeared, he immediately bowed down to Chen Sheng with a question mark.
Compared to the past,
his voice was louder.
There was even a hint of awe in it.
After all,
after the experience in the morning,
Mr. Chou had completely realized how terrifying Lord Xuanwu, who stood before him, was.
Just a single magical treasure could move the heavens and the earth.
What if it was the real body of Lord Xuanwu making a move?
“Hmm.”
Chen Sheng nodded his head and made a slight gesture with his hand.
Immediately, Mr. Chou summoned the members of the operation and brought the sacks in front of Chen Sheng.
The thumping sound went on continuously.
Seven bodies lay motionless on the ground.
All of them were unconscious.
With just one look, Chen Sheng noticed Lightning and Bystander among them.
The two of them had scorched skin and multiple burn marks on their bodies.
Clearly,
the injuries were caused by a thunderbolt strike.
Among them,
Bystander’s injuries were the most serious.
Chen Sheng even noticed traces of stitches on his body.
It seemed that before being brought here, Mr. Chou had treated his injuries somewhat.
“Sir, this one is one of the high-level members of the Godly Humans Association.”
Pointing to Bystander, Mr. Chou recounted all the deeds he had done.
Because of Bystander,
the Holy Sect had suffered many unnecessary losses.
When Mr. Chou spoke,
he resembled a child reporting to their parent.
[Bystander]
[Strength: 4]
[Agility: 6]
[Constitution: 4]
[Heavenly Person Cells: 10%]
[Authority: Existence (18%)]
Listening to Mr. Chou’s description,
Chen Sheng stared at Bystander, and his panel appeared before him.
Based on the Heavenly Person cell content and the share of authority,
Bystander could indeed be considered one of the strongest Chen Sheng had encountered in recent times.
No wonder he was a high-ranking member of the Godly Humans Association.
However…
He already held 18% of authority but was still not the chairman of the Godly Humans Association.
So Chen Sheng estimated that the so-called chairman might already have more than 20% of authority.
Authority power.
Every 10% is a dividing point.
It is the key to a qualitative change.
Surpassing 20% means it is getting closer to Chen Sheng’s current level.
Although it was still far from being able to compare with his physical strength,
it would be like sending Mr. Chou and the others to their deaths if he had to capture them.
Thus,
after contemplating briefly, Chen Sheng spoke again.
“Postpone the actions against the Godly Humans Association for now, focus on gathering intelligence.”
“Even if you find the target’s location, don’t take rash actions.”
“Next, find the information about the high-level members of the Godly Humans Association and their chairman.”
“Identify them, keep an eye on them.”
“And then, inform me.”
Hearing this,
Mr. Chou was startled.
Was Lord Xuanwu planning to take matters into his own hands?
Thump!
“Sir, is it necessary for you to deal with a small association like the Godly Humans Association personally?”
“With the magical treasure bestowed by you, we shall ease your burden!”
“We are willing to ease your burden!”
The moment Mr. Chou knelt down,
the followers of the Holy Sect beside him also didn’t want to be outdone.
However,
Chen Sheng couldn’t tell how much of their words were genuine and how much was pretense.
“Enough.”
Chen Sheng raised his hand to stop Mr. Chou from continuing.
“Flattery is enough from Mao alone.”
“From now on, whatever I say is final.”
“No questioning.”
“Understand?”
Hearing this,
Mr. Chou shivered in his heart.
He really wanted to say that he wasn’t flattering.
Having witnessed the formidable power of the “magical treasure”,
Mr. Chou genuinely believed that the Godly Humans Association’s petty thieves couldn’t stand against them.
But since Chen Sheng had already said so,
he had no room for refusal.
“Yes.”
Mr. Chou responded loudly.
Chen Sheng then turned his gaze away.
He waved gently,
and the crowd quickly retreated to the cave.
Chen Sheng first approached Bystander,
and Xiao Hei transformed into a drop of water at his fingertips, flowing down.
It slowly crawled towards Bystander and entered through his eyes.
The next second,
Bystander’s body trembled violently.
His reaction was far more intense than any of the previous individuals devoured by Xiao Hei.
As Chen Sheng sensed, Bystander’s life signs rapidly weakened.
It seemed that losing the Heavenly Person cells caused him far greater damage than the previous people.
It wasn’t until Xiao Hei finished devouring and emerged again,
that Bystander was barely conscious.
However,
as long as he wasn’t dead, Chen Sheng was relieved.
He had killed many followers of the Holy Sect.
It wouldn’t be right if he died too easily.
Chen Sheng directly bypassed Bystander and began to absorb the next one.
Two minutes later,
Xiao Hei had completely absorbed all of them.
It then returned to wrap around Chen Sheng’s fingers.
Immediately after,
a huge flow of energy quickly poured into Chen Sheng’s body.
He couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
Although there were fewer people this time,
both Lightning and Bystander were among the rare masters of the Godly Humans Association.
By devouring the Heavenly Person cells in their bodies, the spiritual power Xiao Hei gained was not as much as when Mr. Mao brought people back last time,
but the difference was not significant.
[Spiritual Power: 4.7]
Once again, Chen Sheng’s spiritual power increased slightly.
