Chapter 48: Chapter 46 [Innate Strange Phenomena - Eyes as Blue as Violets]

Rustle rustle rustle...

The abundant and rich qi-blood that had already reached the human body’s limit, surged through his body like a red dragon, ceaselessly rushing everywhere within.

It made Wang Yuan’s entire body feel as though it was soaking in scalding hot water.

With the opening of the vital points, starting from the spinal marrow, the bones throughout his body began to crackle and pop.

Suddenly.

Muscles, spine, skeleton, organs... various organs seemed to come to life with an independent consciousness, constantly wriggling as if they wanted to break free from the place that had bound them for fifteen years.

At the same time, tiger stripes faintly appeared on the surface of the skin, and his entire body seemed to twist and trend towards transforming into a fearsome tiger with hanging eyes.

A turn of the body, and it would choose someone to devour.

In the eyes of others, Wang Yuan at this moment was no different from a monster.

But.

Roar—!

A majestic and barely audible tiger roar suddenly exploded inside him, with the dignity of the king of beasts suppressing all of his organs with ease, reintegrating them as one.

This breakthrough from "Non-Human," without waiting for any accidents to happen, without a near-death experience, and even without vomiting blood three times, was firmly suppressed by the "White Tiger Holding Position" life chart.

Everything was as easy and natural as drinking water or breathing.

Still that graceful young man.

His face was as bright as the moon, black hair untied and fluttering slightly, with a straight back, tall and upright like a green pine.

Although the worn green shirt of the doctor didn’t quite fit, wearing it he exuded a remarkable and gallant bearing.

Standing on the spot, he suddenly threw a punch, and the muscles in his right arm swelled enormously, veins bulging.

Crack!

The air in front of him was directly pierced by this punch, emitting a huge explosive noise.

The rolling gust of wind blew the dry branches and leaves on the ground, and even the small trees in front were violently shaken.

Afterward, the integrated force flowed through his muscles and skin like water ripples, transforming his elbow into a spear and fiercely striking a poplar tree at his side.

Suddenly.

Bark exploded, wood chips flew, and the poplar tree, thicker than an adult’s thigh, was abruptly snapped in half and fell to the ground.

Punches like hammers!

Forceful release like cannonfire!

A clear sign of stepping into "Non-Human" and being ranked as a "Daoist Soldier."

Immediately thereafter, Wang Yuan exhaled with the force of the wind and his breath turned to thunder.

Thunder roared within his body, blood surged tumultuously, making a sound as mighty as the rushing waters of the Yangtze River.

Although he had just made a breakthrough, his show of force was even more terrifying than that of "Mystic Armor Guard" Zheng Yong just before.

With encounters, life charts, military skills, and resources, plus the experience from another "Quasi Taoist Soldier" skilled in "Butterfly Soldier Skill," Cui Tong, who had accumulated knowledge over decades.

Although Wang Yuan still maintained the appearance of a normal person, it seemed as though a real ferocious tiger had been placed inside his body.

No, a Tiger Spirit!

Strength, speed, endurance, reaction, recovery capabilities... all significantly surpassed the human body’s limit at the peak of the first realm.

To say "Daoist Soldier" is human, is actually more like saying they are humanoid monsters.

If there are not tens of times more armored soldiers wielding long spears, halberds, or even firearms charging at once, it’s nearly impossible for anyone to trouble a "Daoist Soldier" now.

And with the improvement of his strength.

Wang Yuan also felt his "Qi Fortune" burgeoning autonomously, as if there was a trend of it increasing again without the need for "Yin Morality."

It just seemed to lack a bit of sustainability.

But the "Small Book of Life and Death" showed that the cost of "Qi Fortune" to go from "-5" to "-4" in "Yin Morality" had dropped from the original 1500 points to 1000 points.

With his current 785 points of "Yin Morality," he was soon enough to cross that threshold.

"To step into ’Non-Human’ is like a child growing from birth to adulthood, eventually transcending the inherent limits of humans.

When the second realm, ’Refining Marrow and Changing Blood,’ reaches great success, and one gradually approaches some ’knowledge,’ then, like those spirit monsters, one will be able to birth ’Innate Divine Abilities.’"

A thought passed through Wang Yuan’s mind, and beneath his feet, it seemed as if a wind of Yin began to whirl, aiming to form some kind of magic, but in the end, it fell short of maturity, barely starting to whirl before it dissipated again.

"I rely on consuming the organs of White Mountain Lord to make rapid progress.

The ’Innate Divine Ability’ awoken at the ’Daoist Soldier’ stage is destined to be ’Soul Capturing and Spiritual Communication,’ inherited from it."

"Now there’s no need to rush. As long as I can master the ’Transformation into Tiger Technique’ in four days,

I’ll be able to directly inherit White Mountain Lord’s innate divine ability and also conveniently take in the Five Ghosts’ ’Mr. One-Eyed,’ who can open the Yin Road.

Together with my own ’Non-Human’ essence,

I will then at least have the capital to confront Wang Yunhu, the ’Daoist Soldier,’ head-on."

Looking up at the sky, which was no longer early, Wang Yuan squatted down to take away the "Rashamon Bone" which had sucked dry Zheng Yong’s three fires and earned great merit.

But as soon as he lifted Zheng Yong’s lapel, he suddenly withdrew his hand as if stung by a scorpion.

In his eyes.

The originally resplendent "Rashamon Bone," which seemed like precious treasure, had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

The entirety resembled a dirty yellow squid fused with tree roots, swinging its dozens of long, sucker-filled, root-like tentacles in and out of Zheng Yong’s corpse.

At the top of each tentacle was a mouth full of sharp teeth, continuously opening and closing as it tried to tear at something invisible.

The once brilliant light had also turned into the stench-filled mist it was continually spewing out as a disguise for itself.

Just one glance at it was like seeing something filthy that completely defied human aesthetics and the laws of nature, making Wang Yuan unable to resist the urge to destroy it immediately.

Wang Yuan couldn’t help but blink, and found that the "Rashamon Bone" remained as bizarre as ever.

"What’s going on here?

The ’Deceit Object,’ which already had the traits of being alive, seemed to suddenly reveal its sinister true nature. But in this state, how am I supposed to use it to go fishing?"

Opening the "Small Book of Life and Death," he found that the biography of the "Rashamon Bone" had not changed.

But after examining it carefully, he finally noticed a hint of the abnormality.

Besides the "Cultivation" section, which changed from the first realm of "Martial Arts and Military Skills," "Bone and Flesh Outer Appearance" with great success in ’Integrated Force’ to the second realm of "Refining Marrow and Changing Blood."

The "Abnormality" column, which originally showed "None," had also changed.

Abnormality: "Eye Color of Blue Lotus Phenomenon."

Ability: "Unsightly Observation."

"Eye Color of Blue Lotus Phenomenon? Unsightly Observation?

Is this a positive mutation that occurred coincidentally during the breakthrough to becoming ’Non-Human’?"

Wang Yuan quickly took out the gleaming steel dart from Cui Tong’s pocket, using the reflective surface that could reveal one’s true nature, he clearly saw his own eyes now.

The pupils were black but tinged with a faint blue color. Although it was hardly noticeable without close inspection, it was indeed different from before.

He then looked at the introduction to this innate strange phenomenon in the "Small Book of Life and Death."

Many famous people throughout history have been born with innate strange phenomena, each one corresponding to some magical ability.

According to legend, Buddha has thirty-two aspects and eighty excellences, and "Eye Color of Blue Lotus Phenomenon" is one of those thirty-two aspects.

It is also known as: True Blue Eye Phenomenon, Vacant Blue Eye Phenomenon, Pure Eye Bright Mirror Aspect, Eye Color of Blue Lotus.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul.

For a person born, often their eyes are filled with either vicissitudes, sorrow, cunning, greed, or desire... filled with too much impurity.

But Buddha’s eyes are clear, transparent, pure, and moist as if they were a deep, bottom-visible pool.

Seeing the grudges of others only brings joy to heart, therefore they are endowed with bluish-black eyelashes.

Note: Owner Wang Yuan, due to long-term contact with a certain "Deceit Monster," was influenced by its accumulated ’knowledge’, and this influence was triggered during the ’Non-Human’ transformation.

"Unsightly Observation" allows the viewing of exceptions and the true form of various deceit monsters.

After reading the introduction to this kind of strange phenomenon in the "Small Book of Life and Death," Wang Yuan’s expression naturally became a bit odd:

"I, someone who has just ’eaten’ a ’Daoist Soldier,’ can also be considered related to Buddha?

The fundamental difference between ’Deceit Monster’ and ’Deceit Object’ isn’t big; both are out-of-control secret ’knowledge,’ and both have the trait of ’being alive.’

It’s just a difference in medium, one like a person and one like a thing, that’s all.

Both will recite scriptures and spread knowledge while killing people, whether actively or passively.

I’ve come into contact with many ’Deceit Monsters’ and ’Deceit Objects’ during this time. I don’t know which one has affected me. These things are really sinister."

"Unfortunately, this type of ’Abnormality’ sounds grand, but it doesn’t really help much with the battle strength I urgently need right now.

The biggest benefit is probably that in the future, no matter how those ’Deceit Monsters’ disguise themselves as people, they will be unable to hide from me."

Having resolved his doubts and confirmed that the "Rashamon Bone" was not damaged, Wang Yuan looked down at Zheng Yong, who was lying on the ground.

"The death of a ’Daoist Soldier’ is not a trivial matter, better take care of the loose ends first."

Then, he covered the face of the ’Daoist Soldier’ with the "Human Face Painting" that had also transformed in his eyes, and stole his face skin.

...

At dusk.

The "Mystic Armor Guard," "Zheng Yong" reappeared.

He charged into the checkpoints set up by the government officials and soldiers along the river like a wild ox, killing more than a dozen officials who had seen him commit murder and robbery during the day, but he couldn’t get them all.

As reinforcements arrived in greater numbers, he had no choice but to flee in a hurry.

Soon.

The news that the Guard Commander of the Third Prince, Zheng Yong, had killed his colleagues in order to monopolize "five hundred taels of gold" and fled out of guilt, quickly spread.

Moreover, the specific amount of gold became more exaggerated with each telling.

The responsibility for Zhou Jingyao’s disappearance by falling into the water was naturally put on him by his colleagues as well, and each time they brought him up, they would also curse bitterly:

"Pah, ungrateful and disloyal, truly despicable!"

Wang Yuan, who had collected a good harvest, was meanwhile able to completely detach himself from this whirlpool and return to Daling Village.
