Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 231: The Person and the Mosquito Both Advance, a New Passive Skill Arrives
Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Person and the Mosquito Both Advance, a New Passive Skill Arrives
(Due to unavoidable circumstances, the Governor of Hong Kong Island has been changed to the Hong Kong Island City Lord!)
Hong Kong Island University, Beast Taming Academy.
Simulation Ecological Zone.
In a small, secret underground chamber, Chu Sheng’s eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing within them.
The minor, targeted evolution for reaching Great Success in the Gold Realm was complete!
Compared to his previous form, Chu Sheng’s appearance hadn’t changed much. The only difference was… his mosquito legs.
Yes, his mosquito legs.
Previously, when he reached Great Success in the Spatial Realm, the targeted evolution was on his wings, resulting in the Skill [Boundless Wings], which was Instant Teleportation.
When he reached Great Success in the Fire Realm, the targeted evolution was on his compound eyes, and the Skill was [Amaterasu’s Eye], which was the Celestial Flame.
When he reached Great Success in the Thunder Realm, the evolution was on his entire exoskeleton, and he gained two Skills at once: [Celestial Thunder Illusion] and [Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison].
This time, the targeted evolution was on his legs.
Chu Sheng’s six legs now had a faint golden sheen and radiated an aura of sharpness.
So, what Skill did the Gold Realm evolution grant him this time?
“Lao Tong, let me see!”
[Realm-Breaking Claw]!
Realm-Breaking Claw (No Level): Your claws are imbued with the Gold Realm, making them incomparably sharp and able to penetrate any Defense or Barrier. Theoretically, as your Gold Realm abilities improve, you can tear through any Defense or Barrier.
’Hm?’
’Why is it a… Passive Skill this time?’
’At first glance, it seems pretty unremarkable.’
’On second glance… it still doesn’t seem that great, does it?’
’The main issue is that the concept of ’defense penetration’ is just too abstract!’
’But besides breaking through defenses, it also has a realm-breaking effect. That’s not bad.’
’I wonder if it can tear through Gu Yuexi’s Divine Thought Cage?’
’If it can, then this Skill is pretty damn awesome.’
’Nothing could trap him, and nothing could stop him!’
Simply put:
’I can go wherever I want!’
…
After that, Chu Sheng remained at the Beast Taming Academy, waiting for Gu Yuexi to emerge from her seclusion and find him.
Unexpectedly, he ended up waiting for nine days!
Of course, Chu Sheng wasn’t idle during those nine days.
He absorbed plenty of Mental Power and Qi Blood!
In terms of Qi Blood, thanks to his improved absorption efficiency, Chu Sheng managed to drain a total of 54,000 Qi Blood over the nine days.
[Qi Blood +54,000. Current Qi Blood: 94,300 (Peak of Fourth-Grade)]
That’s right. His Qi Blood Realm broke through two minor realms in one go, soaring from the Fourth-Grade Middle Stage to the Fourth-Grade Late Stage, and then all the way to his current Peak of Fourth-Grade!
He was just over five thousand Qi Blood away from reaching Fifth-Grade!
As for Mental Power, Chu Sheng diligently visited the girls’ dormitories every single night.
Not just at night, either; during these nine days, Chu Sheng didn’t even spare their lunch breaks. As he grew more proficient, his “perpetration” skills became more and more outrageous!
In nine days, he absorbed a total of 23,000 Mental Power.
[Mental Power +23,000. Current Mental Power: 33,800 (Fourth-Grade Middle Stage)]
Although the increase in his Mental Power wasn’t as explosive as his Qi Blood Value, he still broke through a minor realm, reaching the Fourth-Grade Middle Stage.
Overall, his strength had increased considerably.
Most importantly, he wasn’t far from his next full evolution—the seventh one.
[Notice: The next full evolution requires 100,000 Qi Blood Value (Fifth-Grade Early Stage), 60,000 Mental Power, and comprehension of at least two Great Perfection Realms! Cost: 10,000 Evolution Points.]
In terms of Qi Blood, he was only short by a little over five thousand.
For Mental Power, he still needed over twenty thousand.
He already had enough Evolution Points.
His Realms were the furthest behind; he hadn’t reached Great Perfection in any of them yet.
’It’s fine. I’ll figure something out.’
“System, show the masters the overall status panel.”

…
There was one day left until the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition.
At noon on the ninth day, Chu Sheng finally saw Gu Yuexi again.
Over these nine days, Gu Yuexi’s results from her seclusion were also astonishing.
First, her Mental Power had actually reached the Fourth-Grade Middle Stage, catching up to Chu Sheng.
This was simply heaven-defying. The greatest talent for Mental Power in all of history was truly no joke.
Next was her Qi Blood Realm.
Relying on that Exotic Crystal Stone from the Shadowland, Gu Yuexi’s Qi Blood had also risen by a full Grand Realm, reaching the Peak of Third-Grade.
It had barely managed to catch up to her Mental Power level.
At this point, from the time the human and mosquito duo separated upon arriving at Hong Kong Island University to their reunion now, a full month had passed, all told.
…
「Hong Kong Island, City Lord’s Mansion.」
The City Lord’s Mansion was located in the most central part of Hong Kong Island. It was less of a residence and more of an imposing fortress.
After reuniting, Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng came here.
Why were they here?
To claim their treasures, of course!
During the meeting before, Chu Sheng had successfully extorted the City Lord. As long as they participated in the Three Kingdoms Grand Competition, they could each choose one Heavenly and Earthly Treasure from the City Lord’s Mansion’s treasury.
So, here they were!
The two had just arrived before the magnificent and heavily guarded main gate when a Steward in uniform, who was already waiting respectfully, approached them.
Without any unnecessary questions, the Steward led them directly through layers of sentry posts and Spiritual Energy detection zones into an elegant reception room.
Soon, accompanied by an invisible, majestic aura, the Hong Kong Island City Lord, Ye Qingzhou, strode in with the gait of a dragon and the prowl of a tiger.
He was once again dressed in a black formal suit. His gaze first fell on Gu Yuexi, and he gave a slight nod.
However, when he saw Chu Sheng perched on Gu Yuexi’s shoulder, the corner of Ye Qingzhou’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
Just a few days ago, Ye Qingzhou had a phone call with the Governor of Sui Ming Province.
Ye Qingzhou had contacted the Sui Ming Province Governor, naturally, to get more in-depth information about Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng.
There was no problem with the information; the Sui Ming Province Governor was also full of praise for Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng.
However, besides the praise, there was also a bit of a complaint.
It was mainly directed at Chu Sheng.
The Sui Ming Province Governor had poured out his grievances, especially about… the time Chu Sheng nearly sucked dry all the Spirit Grass in the Sui Ming Governor’s Mansion treasury.
And today, this little rascal was coming to *his* treasury.
’I have to be on guard,’ Ye Qingzhou thought. ’I must watch him closely this time and not repeat the Sui Ming Province Governor’s tragedy!’
…
“Since you’re here, let’s head straight to the treasury.”
Ye Qingzhou’s voice was steady, without much small talk.
“Follow me.”
Ye Qingzhou personally led the way, guiding the two of them through several heavy gates that required special clearance and complex verification.
Finally, they stopped before a massive Bronze Giant Gate, which was inscribed with arcane runes and seemed to be fused with the mountain itself.
BZZZ…
Seeing the scale of this treasury, Chu Sheng’s eyes lit up on the spot!
’Holy crap, this treasury is countless times more High-Level than the one in Sui Ming Province.’
’As expected of Hong Kong Island.’
’Tsk tsk…’ Chu Sheng rubbed his… uh… claws together. A small plan was already forming in his mind.
’Yep, a really *small* plan.’
