Chapter 447 - 269: Countdown

Chapter 447: Chapter 269: Countdown

"Of course. I’m planning to go to Hang Lake."

Su Xing didn’t hide his upcoming destination, but he didn’t directly say what he was going there for, just using the all-purpose excuse of "having some business there."

Additionally,

Su Xing also planned to test out his Noble Qi.

Although Su Xing’s Confucian Path was only at the initial, first-tier stage, a few strands of Noble Qi still floated within his body. Unlike Spiritual Qi, this Noble Qi didn’t directly react with his sword, so Su Xing didn’t know what he could do with it yet.

’Besides... there probably aren’t any other Confucian Scholars left in this world, so I’ll likely have to figure out how to use this Noble Qi on my own. But there’s no rush. After all, at such a low realm, it won’t be of any real use in my battles for now.’

’However, once my Sword Dao Points are settled, I’ll need to reconsider how to allocate them. Before, without the ’Wenxin,’ I only had to think about improving my Martial Dao and Qi Cultivation. Now that I have another Extraordinary system, I’ll naturally have to give it more thought.’

"I see."

Yao Yixiao nodded. "Hang Lake is extremely far from our Luocheng, so I can’t see you off. However, Luocheng will always be your friend. If you ever need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to find me."

"Thank you."

"I’ll be taking my leave now."

He wasn’t an arrogant person. On the contrary, Su Xing understood very well that it was better to have more friends than enemies, so he had responded with genuine gratitude.

"Alright."

Yao Yixiao looked at Su Xing and couldn’t help but sigh internally. ’Why isn’t a genius like this from Luocheng?’ he wondered. However, he didn’t voice this thought, merely nodding and saying softly,

"Although Hang Lake is far from Luocheng, it’s quite close to Modu. When you get to Hang Lake, you might want to learn about the current situation in Modu."

"You’re going to Modu afterward, right?"

"That’s right. After Hang Lake, I plan to return to Cang City for a bit, then head to Modu. Uncle Yao, are you telling me this because something has happened in Modu?"

Su Xing asked curiously.

"Heh, not exactly. I just heard that you’re going to challenge the Modu Organization. Although you’re powerful, you’ve stirred up so much trouble here. It’s very likely they’ll target you when you go to Modu."

Yao Yixiao said lightly.

"Target me?"

Su Xing narrowed his eyes. "Those ancient races and the Jile Valley folk... if they dare to come after me, they’d better be prepared to die by my hand."

"As for the people from the Modu Organization..."

Su Xing trailed off, not finishing his sentence. ’People from an official organization like that have to maintain some semblance of dignity. They can’t just target a member of their own organization for no reason. At most, they’d send peers or people around my realm to spar with me, but they would be no match for me at all.’

"Alright, as long as you’re aware."

"I just heard rumors of ancient races appearing in Modu as well, though I don’t know which lineage. That’s why I wanted to remind you. You repelled the Witch Summoner in Desperate Gorge and killed Chi Yu at the Cyan Cloud Sect. By now, those people have definitely heard your name."

"Be careful in all things. Don’t be impulsive."

Yao Yixiao nodded, and then his figure vanished from before Su Xing’s eyes in an instant. All that remained was a line of text, condensed from spatial energy, telling Su Xing he could leave on his own.

"..."

Gazing at the suddenly empty space, Su Xing turned his head to glance at the tomb of the Lord of Luo City. A wisp of golden energy suddenly coiled around his fingertip. Then, Su Xing’s lips moved slightly. "Shatter."

CRACK.

As Su Xing’s word fell, a nearby half-man-high boulder suddenly split open, covered in a web of deep, ravine-like cracks.

’Not bad.’

Su Xing smiled faintly to himself. ’One expert after another has been showing up recently. I just finished dealing with things here in Luocheng, and now it seems trouble is brewing in Modu. Not to mention, the situation back in Cang City hasn’t even been resolved yet.’

With all this happening, Su Xing’s desire for power grew even stronger. Only with sufficient strength could he protect the people he wanted to protect in this increasingly complicated world.

Now possessing three Extraordinary systems, Su Xing undoubtedly had a terrifyingly high ceiling for growth. As long as he was given time, he was certain he could become strong to a horrifying degree.

’I still need more time,’ Su Xing thought, clenching his fists. He knew very well that he had been overlooking something. Although plenty of strong, hidden enemies had already appeared, the ones that the being in the sky wanted him to deal with still hadn’t shown up.

The Celestial Beings. With the appearance of the Celestial Human Tomb, their arrival was practically a certainty, but no one could say for sure when they would appear.

’But...’

’I’ve always remembered that the being in the sky claimed I would only be capable of dealing with those enemies once I reached the eighth tier.’

’Yet with my current strength, killing an ordinary eighth-tier is as easy as killing a dog. Only beings who possess ’Source Essence’ can give me any trouble. It’s impossible to imagine just how powerful an enemy that requires me to be eighth-tier to fight must be.’

"I still need to get stronger."

Su Xing said faintly. Then, he turned and left. Along the way, he booked a high-speed train ticket to Hang Lake and set off.

Although every Extraordinary Being at the fourth tier or above had a chance to master spatial teleportation, there were naturally different levels of quality to the ability. To put it plainly, spatial teleportation involved an Extraordinary Being entering the void to travel. However, the distance each Extraordinary Being could see clearly within the void was also limited.
