Chapter 154: Chapter 89 The Style of Scholars

"It’s Chen Shi!"

Fu Leisheng was utterly astonished. When Shao Jing from Juxian Building introduced Chen Shi, he hadn’t realized Chen Shi’s cultivation level. He merely thought he was an ordinary young man, with some family wealth but little education, seeking to earn the title of Scholar through the Wencai Academy.

This kind of thing was common in the county town, which is why he had gotten ten silver pieces from Chen Shi.

But now, what was this country boy doing?

Killing the County Magistrate’s wife!

The County Magistrate’s wife was the fourth type of Evil Spirit, a Demon Cultivator who had absorbed the moonlight and transformed into an Evil Spirit. She could cultivate like human Cultivators, use spells, and was an intelligent type of Evil Spirit!

"What exactly is his cultivation level?"

Fu Leisheng’s gaze fell on the shrine behind Chen Shi, full of doubt. There was no Divine Embryo in the shrine; it was clearly the Divine Altar Realm. How could it have such astonishing Qi-Blood, bursting forth with such incredible power and producing Thunder Sound?

That last Thunder Sound had even been comparable to Palm Thunder talisman. Its explosive power made him, a skilled cultivator, spontaneously lift his bamboo rod in defense. Could a Cultivator of the Divine Altar Realm really unleash such power?

"He’s definitely not in the Divine Altar Realm. No one in the Divine Altar Realm possesses such power!"

Fu Leisheng closed his eyes, as if seeing Chen Shi’s Qi-Blood accumulating inside his body, forming an immense, boundless sphere.

This sphere was moving along his arm, passing through his heart and lungs, returning to his Dantian.

Chen Shi’s Dantian contained a sea of fire, where intense Qi-Blood was condensing, forming the spectacular scene of a great sun within the fire.

Fire Sea Planting Lotus!

Fu Leisheng opened his eyes, the abnormal sensation gone.

"Golden Core, he has cultivated a Golden Core!"

He was shocked beyond measure. A child of merely eleven or twelve, and he had already cultivated a Golden Core!

However, Chen Shi’s Golden Core was clearly inside his body, unlike others who nourished their Golden Core within the Divine Embryo, which was odd.

But it was precisely because of this reason that Chen Shi’s strength was so terrifying, enabling him to fight in close quarters with the wife of the County Magistrate, an Evil Spirit of her caliber.

"His cultivation is so high, why is he still attempting for Scholar? Wait, why doesn’t his shrine have a Divine Embryo? He’s missing a realm!"

Fu Leisheng’s mind was in utter chaos.

No Divine Embryo, how could he cultivate a Golden Core?

No Divine Embryo, how could he nurture a Golden Core?

Why was there a vision of Fire Sea Planting Lotus in the Dantian, allowing the nurturing of a Golden Core?

While he was musing, a dog suddenly barked in the government office courtyard. Chen Shi darted away, and Fu Leisheng went into the backyard, his bamboo rod shooting out, penetrating the brain of the County Magistrate’s wife.

But he immediately saw the wife of the County Magistrate’s elongated body, much larger than he had anticipated.

Yet, this Evil Spirit’s heart was pierced, her arms broken, her neck, abdomen, and back stabbed in multiple places, her elongated body severed into dozens of pieces by the Sword Qi, dead beyond doubt!

His own shot had been superfluous.

"These sword marks, they must be from the Meridian Evil Slayer Sword."

Fu Leisheng examined the sword marks, murmuring, "The Meridian Evil Slayer Sword has such tremendous power?"

Although the Meridian Evil Slayer Sword was the strongest spell in the Divine Embryo Realm, in the Golden Core Realm, its power was not comparable to that of the Golden Core, which is why Golden Core Realm Cultivators preferred to wield their Golden Cores against enemies.

Yet, the Sword Qi that killed the County Magistrate’s wife exhibited power beyond what was normally known of Sword Qi!

Moreover, what was even more alarming was that each of Chen Shi’s Sword Qi struck precisely at the joints of the County Magistrate’s wife, slicing through the weakest parts of her limbs, dissecting her.

The proverbial skill of ’butchering a bull’ could only achieve this level.

Fu Leisheng shifted his gaze, his heart pounding with alarm. The backyard of the county office was foul and filthy with collapsed rockeries reduced to powder, half the house gone, likely due to the terrifying damage caused by the Evil Spirit’s inner core flying by.

The opposite wall showed signs of corrosive collapse, the bricks appearing as if they had melted into green fluids exuding a foul smell.

This must have been the damage caused when the wife of the County Magistrate’s inner core hit the wall.

"If such a Demon Core were to hit a human..."

He shuddered.

A Golden Core, boundless and immeasurable, condenses essence, Qi-Blood, spirit, and consciousness; it has form but no substance, invulnerable to knife cuts and axe chops, impervious to spells, and cannot be captured by treasures. Anything could pass through the Golden Core without harming it, making it extremely difficult to handle.

But simultaneously, the Golden Core possesses tremendous power and unimaginable abilities. Different Golden Cores can perform different spells.

The Golden Core of an Evil Spirit is even more difficult to deal with, its power even more sinister. Seeing the destructive power of the wife of the County Magistrate’s Golden Core, Fu Leisheng felt it was a tricky problem. If it were him, killing the wife of the County Magistrate wouldn’t be so easy. As soon as this Golden Core was deployed, his own spells would become tainted, talismans would lose their power, and treasures would be contaminated by the Evil Spirit’s energy and lose their potency.
