Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Speculation (Congratulations for the Sun and Moon in the Pot, and the Universe in the Sleeve!)

"Who is it?"

Professor Davis suddenly turned his head to look towards the door.

"It’s me, Li Wei!"

Zhong Shenxiu’s voice came through.

Davis glanced at Sara and saw that she had already turned into darkness, hidden in the shadows; he let out a sigh of relief and went to open the door, "What’s the matter so late at night?"

"I want to leave for a while, so I may not be able to continue attending your classes..." Zhong Shenxiu cast a glance towards where Sara was, "In other words... I want to take a leave of absence."

Although it sounded better than dropping out on the surface, it was essentially the same thing.

"So sudden?"

It was as if Davis had been punched.

After William left, he was grateful to have Li Wei arrive, another ’extraordinary’ individual.

He had gradually placed all his hopes on Li Wei because he was so eager to learn, talented, and very wealthy!

That was the key to at least one evolutionary training of one’s lineage!

But now, just after the transfusion of new blood, was Li Wei going to take a leave of absence?

Davis’s lips quivered as he wanted to plead, but in the end, he did not speak. All his words turned into a heavy sigh, "Alright then, go..."

"Rest assured, teacher, wherever I am, I am still a student of the Five Rings School."

Zhong Shenxiu bowed slightly, then said, "Before I leave, I have a question about the ’longevity.’ They seem very powerful, I wonder what characteristics they have?"

"That is not content you should be delving into right now."

Davis’s expression grew stern.

"I’m just curious, can ’longevity’ really live a thousand years? I’ve heard that beneath longevity, all mysterious beings are as insignificant as ants before them..." Zhong Shenxiu probed.

But Davis remained silent.

Zhong Shenxiu sniffed, "Why do I seem to smell a woman’s perfume? Is it a good friend of yours, teacher?"

Professor Davis was not married and still a bachelor, his expression tensed at these words.

When he saw that Li Wei had walked behind the curtains where Sara was hiding, he grew even more nervous, "Alright... I’ll tell you, ’longevity’ can probably live around a thousand years. That’s true."

"Really?"

Zhong Shenxiu stopped in his tracks, his gaze intense.

"Moreover, what makes ’longevity’ different from other mysterious beings is that they possess a ’spirit pattern’! Ordinary extraordinary beings, when faced with ’spirit pattern,’ have no ability to retaliate, just as the spirits we use are like cold weapons while ’spirit pattern’ is like a hot weapon. The discrepancy is even greater, the power of a ’spirit pattern’ cannot be matched by thousands of times the spirit energy..."

Davis spoke rapidly.

"So that’s how it is..."

Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes lit up, understanding a lot.

Although the descriptions were somewhat different, it sounded very much like the ’Primordial Pill.’

’It seems that ’longevity’ is indeed equivalent to the Primordial Pill! And even longer-lived!’

’Spirit pattern,’ which cannot be matched by thousands of times spirit energy? Is it a completely different power and qualitative change? This description is somewhat like the ’Divine Skills’ I heard about in my previous life, so the so-called ’longevity’ are divine creatures, or mythical entities?’

’Are the ’positions’ of Primordial Pill Masters the same? Has mana undergone some kind of qualitative change, making Primordial Pill Power and Dragon Tiger Magic Power utterly different... That’s why no matter what Divine Skills are used, they are incredibly effective?’

Zhong Shenxiu made many connections in an instant and once again bowed respectfully, "Then, are there any ’longevity’ beings in the Mesoamerican Federation?"

"I don’t know..." Davis shook his head: "To my knowledge, the most recent ’longevity’ recorded in history is probably the founding Sage of the Federation—Isreal. But he has long since disappeared, with no trace to be found..."

"Oh..."

Zhong Shenxiu was somewhat disappointed.

If he couldn’t find a mythical creature to hunt, who would he go after?

Surely he wouldn’t ascend to "longevity" only to kill himself, right?

"It seems strangely feasible and quite clever when I think about it!"

"After all, nobody’s spiritual frame is as suitable as one’s own!"

Pleased with himself, Zhong Shenxiu bid farewell and left.

Once Davis closed the door, Sara’s figure emerged, "You’re sharing such secret lore with a student?"

"It’s just myth and legend anyway, you know that, don’t you?"

Davis obviously didn’t take it seriously.

"Hehe, you’re just too kind to your students; that’s why they all leave you."

Sara looked at the door with a suddenly mischievous grin, "Let me teach your student a lesson for you."

"What are you going to do?"

Davis’s expression suddenly turned tense, and he began to transform.

"Just playing around, I won’t kill him. Don’t get too excited..."

Sara chuckled softly as a stream of black liquid oozed out from under the door.

At the same time, flesh and blood rapidly spread, sealing off the room, with Davis’s roar faintly heard from within.

---

Walking along the corridor, Zhong Shenxiu felt that this trip was truly worthwhile.

"But why is Davis so nervous about that woman? Could she be a mistress?"

"No, if he can’t find a mistress, she must be a call girl; no wonder he’s so anxious..."

He strolled along, seemingly lost in thought like a naive student, completely unaware that a pool of black liquid on the ground was creeping toward him.

Suddenly, the black liquid surged, revealing a hideous, gaping maw: "Little brother, want to play a game?"

Boom!

In the next moment, Zhong Shenxiu lashed out. His arm became covered with a layer of ghostly scales as he reached into the gaping maw and grabbed a woman by the neck, yanking her out and slamming her against the wall.

Crash!

A large hole appeared in the wall, and bricks tumbled down, smashing the woman until she was bloody and injured.

"You..."

Sara looked up, her face covered in blood, "Impossible... I am... ascended..."

"Look into my eyes."

Zhong Shenxiu’s pupils instantly turned into vertical slits, and the Illusion Eye activated!

The mix of powerful spirituality, the essence of the Pastor, and the inherent ability of this blood spell created an effect that even the "Perfected" would dread.

Sara couldn’t resist; she saw those vertical pupils.

What kind of eyes were they?

Cold, heartless, with an inexplicably potent intimidating force.

It was as if just one glance could drag someone into a terribly fearsome purgatory!

The ferocious expression on her face gradually became confused, then submissive.

Zhong Shenxiu interrogated the woman, and finally said, "Forget everything that just happened. You taught that student a lesson, then left happily. Ah, the injury is just from a little fall; take care of it yourself and don’t tell anyone!"

He turned to leave, still muttering to himself, "So she wasn’t a call girl after all..."
