Chapter 635: Chapter 632: Double Lifebound Gu

Oda Manaka had been happy for just a few seconds before she became disappointed again, sighing, "It’s just a pity..."

"It’s just a pity that I ruined it," Lin Tian interjected.

"Exactly, sometimes I really want to know what kind of young man you are, what secrets you hold that you’ve managed to foil my plans multiple times and even dare to contradict the Sun Shadow Association," Oda Manaka said, her expression indescribably strange.

"I have many secrets, ones you probably couldn’t fully understand in a lifetime," Lin Tian said nonchalantly.

"But also because of your interference, Li Qingyun got involved. If there’s such a thing as fate in this world, I believe it was destined, destined for us enemies to meet, thus I took advantage, drawing her to Kyoto City in Japan," Oda Manaka said, somewhat pleased as if she had already taken her revenge on Li Qingyun.

"In the abandoned urban district of Kyoto City, I almost killed her, just a little bit more!" Her mood turned excited as she spoke animatedly.

"It’s just a pity that I ruined it again, right?" Lin Tian said.

"Indeed a pity, that was the closest I ever got to taking my revenge, yet you ruined it again," Oda Manaka said, her mood unreadable.

Lin Tian touched his nose and laughed, "The words ’taking revenge’ — I must have heard them at least ten times from you by now. You must really want to kill me at this moment."

"No, I’ve actually grown a bit fond of you," Oda Manaka said unexpectedly, leaving everyone stunned, unsure of her intentions.

Although Japanese women admire the strong, Lin Tian found it too awkward for his liking, feeling his heart could hardly bear it.

"Better not; although you are beautiful... oh, I mean Li Qingyun is very beautiful, but you are more than half a century older than me," he said.

Li Qingyun was indeed beautiful, and Oda Manaka, having the same physique and appearance as Li Qingyun, was of course also very beautiful. If one didn’t know her real age, indeed it might spark some thoughts.

But Lin Tian knew everything, and that was a hurdle he couldn’t overcome, plus, Oda Manaka’s words weren’t trustworthy at all.

"Humph, Li Qingyun is beautiful, but my original appearance was even more beautiful. I know the Youthful Appearance Technique, and if it wasn’t for needing to escape, I wouldn’t have changed my appearance to hers," Oda Manaka said somewhat indignantly.

Lin Tian was speechless. At her age, still caring about who was prettier? Could it be that making their appearance younger also turned their mental age younger?

"Hahaha, I was just kidding with you," Oda Manaka burst into laughter, her emotional changes unpredictable and inscrutable.

She glanced at Lin Tian and said, "Young man, you in Huaxia have a story about Niu Lang and Weaver, where Niu Lang was just a young man in his twenties, and Weaver was a fairy, at least over a thousand years old, so how do you reconcile that?"

That really was irreconcilable; the generations wouldn’t even match up. Lin Tian suddenly thought of the zombie girl, who appeared eighteen but had actually lived for more than five thousand years, reaching back to the Ancestor of humanity.

"Alright, enough of this. Let’s talk something practical. You’ve been all jokes and calm so far, seeming like you’ve already won. Let’s see your trump card, lest you lose the chance to use it later," Lin Tian said with a faint smile.

"Trump card? My lifebound Gu was destroyed by you, what trump card could I possibly have left?" Oda Manaka gave a wry smile, pausing before she continued, "But, Li Qingyun, you would never have imagined that I could recover so quickly after losing my lifebound Gu."

Li Qingyun slightly furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with suspicion. The loss of Oda Manaka’s lifebound Gu had occurred just the day before, and yet in just one day her recovery was swift, and her combat power had even surged. Li Qingyun couldn’t understand how.

"You would never guess, I have cultivated the legendary Gu art, the Double Lifebound Gu," Oda Manaka said proudly.

Li Qingyun was taken aback and exclaimed, "Double Lifebound Gu!"

"Seeing your surprised look, I’m very pleased. Years ago, when you all killed my husband, his lifebound Gu should have also perished, but miraculously, it only fell into a slumber, it didn’t die," Oda Manaka explained.

"I spent a lot of effort and resources nurturing it as my own lifebound Gu, trying to awaken it, and I actually succeeded. Perhaps it was inherently in tune with my husband’s intentions. I even managed to establish a blood connection with it, and it didn’t reject my Golden Silkworm Gu, meaning it became my second lifebound Gu," Oda Manaka said with a sense of pride.

Although Lin Tian didn’t understand Gu arts, much less what a Double Lifebound Gu was, from their conversation it was evident that a Double Lifebound Gu was a miracle that maybe appeared once every hundred or thousand years. Therefore, Oda Manaka had a reason to be proud.

But what was so special about this Double Lifebound Gu? If it was just able to quickly heal injuries, it seemed hardly worth such astonishment.

This might be related to Oda Manaka’s trump card. Lin Tian immediately asked, "Granny Li, is there something formidable about this Double Lifebound Gu?"

Li Qingyun spoke with some gravity, "If the first lifebound Gu dies, then all the potential of the first lifebound Gu will, through the master, be transferred to the second lifebound Gu, which might advance, just like Second Miss Xiao’s Zombie Gu, advancing into a more formidable Gu."

"The more powerful the first lifebound Gu, the greater the chance of enhancement for the second lifebound Gu after receiving the boost, and after advancing it becomes even more formidable," Li Qingyun added.

Lin Tian immediately understood and said, "Her first lifebound Gu is the Golden Silkworm Gu, a top-quality Gu, which means that the advancement of her second lifebound Gu is almost a certainty."

"Exactly, it’s almost a certainty," Li Qingyun affirmed.

Lin Tian suddenly thought of something else. Just now, Oda Manaka had transformed into a half-zombie, could it be...

"Your second lifebound Gu is the Zombie Gu!" Lin Tian exclaimed loudly.

"Hahaha, young man, I’m starting to like you more and more. You’re smart, you guessed right, my lifebound Gu is indeed the Zombie Gu," Oda Manaka laughed heartily.

"Isn’t Zombie Gu cultivation supposed to require zombie blood? Where did you get zombie blood over a decade ago?" Lin Tian pondered a more serious issue. If she had zombie blood, it meant there were zombies, and if the zombies were under her control, that would be problematic.

Oda Manaka looked at him unexpectedly but didn’t delve deeper, instead she said, "Who said that cultivating Zombie Gu absolutely requires zombie blood? Back then, at places full of yin energy like ancient battlefields, Burial Mounds, graveyards, and ancient tombs, we used Forbidden Techniques to allow the Gu to absorb yin energy and death qi, which also made cultivation possible."

Lin Tian looked to Li Qingyun, who nodded, confirming it was indeed possible, but she added, "That kind of Secret Technique is a Forbidden Technique."

Oda Manaka was unconcerned about the Forbidden Technique, suddenly speaking mysteriously, "Zombie Gu without zombie blood is imperfect, flawed, but after it became my lifebound Gu, by chance, I actually obtained zombie blood!"
