Chapter 192: Chapter 162 Indifferent to Success or Failure Choice_2

As for the other changes, it was probably that the feedback from the blood drawn from the Battle Maniac Asura had been completely digested, with no need for time-consuming digestion.

The digestion of that feedback naturally led to a significant increase in the Performance Coefficient of his body. As a standard value for humans, ten points of strength could only bring about ten points of effect, but now ten points of strength could bring about an effect of fourteen points. However, he had just shed his skin, which greatly reduced his physical performance.

With an increase and a decrease, there was basically no change unless his body fully recovered. These were truly the characteristics of a Supreme Demon... Therefore, if one wished to become stronger, ceasing to be human was the fastest way.

Inside the serpent’s exuvia, he had been waiting for this moment. As long as he did not break out of the exuvia, he would remain in that ’dormant’ state with a very faint breath. He was fishing for enemies, waiting to see if there were other opportunistic foes that might come by, such as other Supreme Demons, Boundary Breakers, and the like. Should they come and try to take advantage, he would burst out and strike the enemy hard in that instant.

He was very hungry indeed.

But in the end, the ones who came were Liu Hongzhao and two women. The one using the Moonscar Short Sword must be a Boundary Breaker, while that woman with the really big headlights was a Supreme Demon from this world. It was a bit tricky, but he still wanted to find an opportunity to try it out; the feedback from the Supreme Demon Blood felt very satisfying.

He wanted to find a couple more Supreme Demons to see what level of enhancement he could achieve through the blood of Supreme Demons, to see if he could arm-wrestle the red dragon upon returning with a significantly different build.

Who knew Liu Hongzhao would be bolder, actually backstabbing a Supreme Demon and, more outrageously, succeeding??

"...This world has come to this. Either you continue living a hard life, or you die immediately. Why wouldn’t I give it a try?" Liu Hongzhao sat on the ground, looking at the red hair that hung down her shoulder; the hair tie used to hold her hair had snapped from the impact of the Supreme Demon Blood.

She felt her body was very heavy, and her eyelids were constantly trembling. Backstabbing a Supreme Demon was successful, but it did not make her very happy.

"The Snake God has been leading me on, saying you’ve been marked by Battle Maniac Asura, that if we couldn’t join together in life, surely I would become a subordinate of the Battle Maniac Asura in death."

"She also said you have the potential of a Supreme Demon; just by taking your Heartblood I could have all that is yours..." At this point, Liu Hongzhao slightly curled her lips: "Humans can’t be trusted, and I trust Supreme Demons even less. Surely, having the potential of a Supreme Demon is not the same as being a real Supreme Demon, right?"

She had never believed in Supreme Demons. The presence of an Amulet meant that the Supreme Demon had not left a deep impact on her. The phantom had only shaken her with words, but she never believed the Snake God, even if some of what the Snake God said was true.

The Amulet on the ground was damaged, the traces of the magic array formation on it had faded a lot; even if she hadn’t discarded it, staying too close to the Snake God for long would have completely rendered the Amulet ineffective.

She didn’t have much time, so she didn’t consider lying low for long. At the first suitable opportunity, she acted without hesitation, regardless of success or failure. Even if she succeeded, it didn’t necessarily mean she could kill the Supreme Demon. It was more likely that she would be tortured to death by the enraged Supreme Demon; failure would be almost the same.

But whether successful or not, it was better than taking action against Zheng Yichen, which also served as repayment for the time Zheng Yichen had saved her.

"Hahaha, but you did succeed, and now you direct have the Supreme Demon Blood," Zheng Yichen said with a laugh, standing up. Zheng Yichen was genuinely happy for Liu Hongzhao; no matter how passive she had been before, she had not been swayed by the Supreme Demon, and she had the guts to backstab one—she was someone who could pull off great feats!

The serpentine mark on the girl’s forehead was gone now, replaced by a swirling crimson mark, but Zheng Yichen felt that mark looked somehow familiar.

Wasn’t it like the logo of the Phoenix TV station on Earth before his transmigration?

"..." Liu Hongzhao lowered her head and turned her gaze aside: "Your, your clothes?"

Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched slightly, "Well, now I’m completely naked; my battle suit is utterly destroyed, with no chance of repairing it. I looked around and couldn’t find a single fragment; no way to repair it, and I didn’t even get to wear it in properly."

"Worrying about clothes when I’ve shrunk who knows how many years," he said.

Zheng Yichen looked at his significantly shrunken hands and then down at the rest of himself, sighed deeply, and picked up the "serpent’s exuvia" from the ground. He had felt some regret after killing the giant serpent, thinking that he didn’t get any particular abilities from it. He probably had some poison resistance but none of that secreted venom ability.

In fact, that was probably for the best, so as not to accidentally poison someone else with whatever he touched... Wait, that giant serpent seemed to have good control of its own poison.

Now it seems I didn’t gain any poison-related traits, but instead, I ended up with a more valuable trait from the giant serpent.

A life-saving trait indeed. Even though after recovery I could only be at full health, and all attributes had dropped by nearly a third, another instance like this and I might find myself younger than ten years old, as well as experiencing a significant further decline in physical abilities such as strength. From fighting on equal terms to being at full health and still overpowered, then turned into a one-hit... *cough cough*.

It wouldn’t be that ridiculous. If it were a fight on equal grounds, the enemy would likely be severely damaged too. When I return to full health, being slightly weaker is bearable, as long as I can land the final blow.

He picked up the "serpent’s exuvia" from the ground and gave it a tug. Although it wasn’t as tough as the giant serpent’s exuvia, it would do temporarily.

"Alright," Zheng Yichen said as he wrapped the skin he had shed around his waist.

Liu Hongzhao nodded softly, her cheeks reddening as she glanced at Zheng Yichen. He seemed more approachable after regressing several years in age; probably because he was about the same age as her now.

She tore off a strip from her clothing and tied her scattered red hair up, reaching out to grab the giant sword that lay beside her. The moment she touched the sword again, she revealed a puzzled expression—now, in her hands, the sword felt very stable with no sense of the initial rejection.

Plus, there was an additional piece of information on the sword, similar to when the Snake God’s finger had touched her forehead to transfer information.

After reading the information, Liu Hongzhao looked somewhat perplexed. Essentially, the Battle Maniac Asura was very pleased with her courage to strike at the Supreme Demon, and had specifically gifted the sword to her. He also looked forward to her challenging him in the future, indicating her life wouldn’t be peaceful from now on.

As a human who had obtained the Supreme Demon Blood, she was an anomaly among both humans and Supreme Demons. There had been other humans who received Supreme Demon Blood before, but those were just trivial amounts. The heartblood Liu Hongzhao received made her half a Supreme Demon, an outlier among humans and amongst Supreme Demons as well.

She wouldn’t encounter a human’s natural death, but if she were killed, she couldn’t regenerate like a Supreme Demon. Zheng Yichen was sure to pay attention to her, and the Snake God would resent her. However, since the Snake God was severely injured, it wouldn’t trouble her for a while, but what happened later would depend on how much she could accomplish.

The Battle Maniac Asura was no Sphinx; the information he left behind was detailed, detailing the entities and enemies she had to be wary of. Humans, once aware of her identity, would covet her for the Supreme Demon’s powers and ostracize her. Some Supreme Demons did not want a human who could easily threaten them to emerge in the Mortal Realm.

While the Snake God couldn’t trouble her directly, it could make her identity public—a matter she needed to be cautious about. The Battle Maniac Asura hoped that Liu Hongzhao would grow stronger.

"You go ahead and regroup with them... never mind, I’ll go back with you," Zheng Yichen initially thought about letting Liu Hongzhao go back first, but considering what the girl had said, there was now a trust issue between her and Qi Xiangyun and the others. It’d be better to go back and explain, and along the way, he could grab a spare set of clothes from the motorcycle.

The sensation of wearing his own shed skin around his waist was odd.
