Chapter 82: Chapter 82 The Only One (5 updates)

"I was right, wasn’t I, Diao Deyi!"

"Your so-called ’Demon Curse’ is actually the power of your Demon Bloodline!"

"Surviving decapitation undying, is that an ability of lizard-like demons?"

"You don’t need to tell me, and I won’t ask anymore, I just want you to understand that you are human!"

"You are just a human who has merged with a demon bloodline!"

"People will always be people! They will not turn into demons!"

That’s right! Humans are humans!

Fang Yu was emotionally stirred, feigning great shock and agitation, bowing his head so his hair covered his face while his body trembled.

"So... you’ve discovered it! My true secret!"

Eh! How did I end up acting along with this?

Slap.

Li Baizhen patted Fang Yu’s shoulder.

"Don’t worry, you’re not a freak. There are plenty of Demon Martial Artists within the Foolish Underworld."

"But it is indeed rare to see one as weak as you."

"Rest assured, join the Foolish Underworld, under my command, and I will protect you."

"Don’t think about refusing. This is the higher-ups’ command. Otherwise, prepare to go back to the A-class Prison for life."

Fang Yu: ???

Do I even have a choice???

"I... am willing to join the Foolish Underworld!"

Fang Yu hurriedly expressed his stance.

Li Baizhen showed a look of satisfaction.

Demon Martial Artists usually turn to this path only after reaching the limits of their personal aptitude.

For someone like Diao Deyi to start as a Demon Martial Artist is truly uncommon.

One reason is that merging with demon bloodline is dangerous. Risk of dying explosively is always present.

Secondly, after merging with demon bloodline, one gradually suffers from bloodline backlashes and slowly undergoes demonization during daily cultivation and growth.

Only Soul Killers or Believers, by absorbing spirits and purifying the Spirit, can recover.

Otherwise, such demonization is almost irreversible.

However, Diao Deyi has only just started as a Demon Martial Artist, so the demonization is still far off. Best left unsaid.

"Alright, later you’ll need to shed some blood. I’ll have it sent to Research Demon Mansion for testing demon bloodline components so you can better grasp your own abilities."

"Moreover, the Research Demon Mansion is also studying how to purify the bloodlines of those who have become Demon Martial Artists."

"Any demon, the higher the bloodline purity, the stronger the power and potential."

"For someone like you who inexplicably became a Demon Martial Artist, the merged demon blood obviously isn’t great. However, if you can undergo bloodline purification, your future is bright."

Bright future?

My purity is 99.9%, okay? Given the blood of a Pure Blood Demon!

Fang Yu suddenly remembered, why was Yue Guang so nice to me? Giving away such precious bloodline just like that...

No, that’s wrong!

Fang Yu immediately realized it wasn’t Yue Guang’s intention but the system’s direct extraction!

Which means, this is the difference between a player and an NPC!

That’s right, that’s right. If players were like NPCs, adding a dedicated demon bloodline buff and dealing with life-and-death, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

Seeing any demon bloodline, absorb it, done!

It seems players all have a constitution that easily absorbs and merges with demon bloodlines.

Should be... like that, right?

Fang Yu hadn’t seen other players discuss this on forums, probably means once again he’s the first to brave the unknown.

Too bad couldn’t adopt the Spirit God Faith, otherwise with dual status panels, kill ’em all!

With my strength, having just touched upon the demon bloodline, other players would be even further away, and as for the Spirit God Faith, I fear no one in the entire game could unlock it yet.

"Being invincible is so lonely, so lonely~" appeared to play on loop in Fang Yu’s ears.

"Other players, I, Diao Deyi, will be waiting for you at the mountain peak! Hmmmhmmmhmmm!"

But then Fang Yu thought again, demon bloodlines seem to be triggered easily, just touching a demon’s blood and then it could be absorbed.

No, wait! Hold on!

Fang Yu hurriedly flipped through the system records from that night.

[System Notification: Detection of Green Demon Original Blood Serum with a blood purity of 99.9%. Blood fusion will commence.]

Original Blood Serum? Seems different from average demon blood?

Fang Yu was also confused, scratched his head, and decided to let it be.

After all, he had already succeeded, how other players fumbled their way across the river like touching stones could no longer concern him.

"Right! There’s one more thing."

"The person who crashed into the Xuan family’s wall twice last night and battled with the Eight-clawed Demon and Dog Bone Demon, was that you?"

Fang Yu’s expression stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly, "That was me."

"I knew it! The bone powder at the scene matched the technique you just used perfectly. You sure keep a low profile, Diao Deyi!"

"...Hunting demons late at night isn’t illegal, is it?"

"Kill at will! If you see a demon, just go and kill it! From today on, you’re the Foolish Underworld’s Ten Family Captain under my command. With me backing you, no need to worry too much."

It sounds straightforward, but when you were interrogating me, there were clearly others higher up.

Who knows if there are demons among those higher-ups.

Fang Yu felt it was still better to keep a low profile and quietly develop himself.

Anyway, he’d passed the Foolish Underworld identity check hurdle already. Next would be...

Wait a minute!

Damn!

His heart skipped a beat.

Tomorrow’s the gathering of Yue Guang and those demons!

Another hurdle to cross, maybe... just hide in the Foolish Underworld and not go.

While Fang Yu was thinking this, Li Baizhen suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, I have a mission for you."

"According to the information provided by the Shuang Xuyao."

"Tomorrow, a group of demons will be gathering at the Lingyun Inn."

"I want you to infiltrate, disguise yourself as a demon, and sneak in to gather intel."

Fang Yu: ...

Fang Yu: ???

Fang Yu: !!!

Fang Yu was shocked!

"What do you want me to do? Go undercover as a demon??"

"Yes, your Demon Martial Artist identity, as well as your bloodline abilities, make you perfectly suited to disguise as a demon and blend in."

"But... that’s a demon den, very dangerous!"

"Don’t worry, I’ve prepared a fallback for you."

With that, Li Baizhen gave Fang Yu a black pill.

"What’s this?"

"A Demon Transformation Pill, a new creation from the Research Demon Mansion."

"What’s it for?"

"It causes flesh and bones to swell out from the exterior of your body, enveloping your actual body inside, impersonating the appearance of a demon’s true form."

"Ah?"

"It’s just a precaution. In case you’re exposed, eat this and pretend to be a demon while fleeing towards our Foolish Underworld. Someone will be there to meet you on the way."

Fang Yu: ...

Seems like... it might work?

Better to have it than not!

Fang Yu first took the Demon Transformation Pill, and then, thinking of something, asked curiously.

"If you all know that demons will be gathering at the Lingyun Inn, why not just take them all out in one go?"

"Those are just small fries; the big fish we’re after is behind them."

"Oh..."

Fang Yu pondered.

If he thought about it, that actually made sense.
