Could it be that I am the cruel villain?
Chapter 36 Guardian

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Guardian

In the backyard, whooshing sounds broke through the air.

Swoosh——

Swoosh!

Taking a step forward, his foot stomped the ground, and the branch in his hands forcefully split the wooden post in front of him!

His posture was standard, filled with a sense of power, his muscle lines elegant. Although they did not appear bulky, they were still pleasing to the eye, no wonder the brothel girls scrambled to throw themselves at him.

Even to the extent of offering silver to take his virginity.

After a dull thud, a crack actually formed in the center of the wooden post, using just a branch.

This shows how... convenient Jiang Feng’s dream training abilities were.

His face did not show any joy; instead, he walked to the ginkgo tree in the backyard. The autumn mood turned the originally vibrant ginkgo leaves deep yellow, picking up the leaves and placing them in his palm.

In an instant, a warm current crazily surged into Jiang Feng’s body!

If Lu Luo and Su Yi were here, they might have been scared enough by Jiang Feng’s current appearance to bite their own tongues, because Jiang Feng was engaging in an almost mad act.

That was to condense Spiritual Energy and inject it into the leaf in his hand!

His usually calm face twisted with indescribable pain, the youth felt warm currents rushing from all directions into his body, each vein fully stretched as if he would explode at any second.

The pain on his cheeks slowly turned fierce, and even blood flowed from his nostrils, dripping along his lips, while the ordinary ginkgo leaf slowly began to levitate in mid-air, forcing the warm flow in his body to move according to his will.

With a trembling hand, he pushed forward fiercely!

"Pfft!"

It sprayed out, mixed with several strands of blood.

Awkwardly stepping back a few steps, he fell to the ground, his mouth gaping as he breathed in fresh air frantically, the intense suffocation almost causing the youth to faint.

Sitting on the ground for a few minutes, the dizzy sensation slowly disappeared.

Wiping the blood around his mouth and nose, he stood up again, wearing a bitter smile.

"It’s getting a bit annoying."

"Although I can master their techniques and absorb their souls in my dreams..."

"But what use do I have for their memories, why not give me their physical fitness and cultivation levels!"

In a classic powerless rage, he began to complain about his lousy cheat.

Ever since he killed Wang Qi and Xue Wuwei that night, Jiang Feng had been holed up at home, deeply studying his body and its traits.

Before this, he had maintained some skepticism about Liu Xianzi’s words; you say I was an Evil Cultivator in my past life, fine, but!

You have to at least let me look a bit like an Evil Cultivator!

He had never shown any special abilities since childhood, nor had he displayed any talent in cultivation; in the end, it was only after shamelessly begging others to take him in that he barely touched the threshold of cultivation.

Yes, just touched it, not even stepped into it.

But that night after he killed Wang Qi, he realized something was amiss.

Thinking back to that rainy night, it was his first time committing murder; logically, he should have been tormented by both psychological and physiological challenges for a long period, but the fact was.

He didn’t feel any discomfort.

Even witnessing the master and servant beginning to slaughter each other, blood flying everywhere, there was an inexplicable palpitation and exhilaration in his heart. Blood splattered on his face, and his first instinct was not to wipe it off.

But to lick it.

At the moment his tongue touched the blood, countless images surged into his mind. However, he was preoccupied with fighting at that moment, subsequently busied with consulting Lu Luo about cultivation issues throughout the night, and finally delayed for a few hours due to Xue Ming’s arrival.

"Turns out, I’ve never discovered anything exceptional about myself in the past decade because I never killed anyone..."

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

Now he finally knew why he had been an Evil Cultivator in his previous life.

This ability might seem insignificant, but it allowed him to devour others’ souls and extract all the memories within. Thus, theoretically, he could learn everything from anyone who died by his hands.

What a huge temptation was this for a cultivator?

"That was something I found in Wang Qi’s memory just now, seems like it’s the basic Object Manipulation Skill of cultivators."

"Unexpectedly, that coachman had such a thing in his mind. It looks like he must have stolen quite a bit from the lessons on the immortal mountain, but his talent was truly too poor. Even after successfully refining his body and spending two years, he still couldn’t successfully condense Spiritual Energy."

"I tried the route I found in his memory, and I was able to condense a little bit, but this body is really..."

He sighed.

Now he finally understood what it felt like to hold assets worth hundreds of millions but still be unable to use them.

Over the past few days, he wasn’t unilaterally slaughtered by Liu Xianzi in his dreams. Instead, he kept digging through Wang Qi’s memories. It wasn’t fruitless; at least he found a simple way to run Spiritual Energy and the most basic breathing techniques.

Including the most basic Object Manipulation Skill, which were all compulsory courses in the Immortal Sect.

But he was taking too big of a step.

Everyone else started with the very basics of breathing and gathering energy, and that was after their bodies had been refined. But what about Jiang Feng?

He hadn’t even entered the door of cultivation but daringly allowed Spiritual Energy into his body, letting that turbulent Spiritual Energy run wild inside him, even attempting to let it flow along his meridians, skipping several levels and directly starting to practice "Object Manipulation".

Not just Lu Luo and Su Yi, even Liu Tangxi would probably scold him for being absurd if she saw this.

Wiping the nosebleed clean, the young man stood up from the ground again; he knew his failure was due to his poor body constitution. In just a short dozen seconds, his body almost burst, and if it were anyone else, experiencing near-death once would be enough to prevent a second attempt.

But Jiang Feng...

His eyes were actually filled with excitement, as if a child had found his favorite toy.

"No wonder I was an Evil Cultivator in my last life, with this body constitution, just killing someone would allow me to directly snatch their soul, which is much worse than robbery."

"A few days ago, I knew nothing about cultivation, and now here I am, risking my life practicing Object Manipulation. I really am an oddity."

It’s noticeable, Jiang Feng was quite self-aware. He picked up the Ginkgo Leaf from the ground again, but this time, he didn’t let the warm current wildly enter his body. Instead, after concentrating for a few seconds, he relaxed his meridians, not allowing the Spiritual Energy to move within the body but let it disperse.

The Ginkgo Leaf in his hand also slowly rose, then fell, and rose again, repeatedly, maintaining the intensity within a range his body could handle. It was evident that he was prematurely adapting to the pathways of Spiritual Energy during cultivation.

Strictly speaking, he was cultivating now.

"But what about Liu Xianzi’s case?"

While adapting to the Spiritual Energy, the young man thought to himself.

Initially, he thought that dreaming of Liu Tangxi every night was because she had cursed him or cast some Immortal Technique on him.

But now it seemed, was it a problem with my body constitution?

What exactly did Liu Tangxi do to me that day?

He was puzzled.

However, during his practice, a sudden knocking sound startled him, accompanied by an elderly man’s surprised voice.

"Young Master Jiang indeed predicts like a sage; indeed, a patient came to me who had wounds on his face and body grazed by metal, with iron-blue pus-filled wounds."

"Heh, following your advice, I indeed swindled him thoroughly..."
