Chapter 39: Scorpion-tailed Lion’s Sting

The blue light dissipated, and a deep red dagger appeared in Bai Pu’s hand. The spine of the dagger curved like a shark’s back, with tiny sparkling lights flowing along it, making it quite appealing.

This is an elite-level blue equipment, and because of the +3 enhancement, its attack power reaches as high as 4~8, comparable to the basic attack power of two-handed weapons.

Additionally, this comes with a very practical passive skill: Blood Sucking, allowing the weapon to steal 10% of the damage dealt and heal the wielder.

Equipment drawn from the Bloody Treasure Chest, like those drawn from a Spoils Treasure Chest, are in a "sealed" state and can be used directly.

The difference is that many pieces of equipment from the Bloody Treasure Chest have been "enhanced" with Spiritual Points by Awakened ones, which cannot be found in Spoils Treasure Chest equipment.

Unfortunately, the requires a basic Agility of 10 points, which Bai Pu can wield but not use to its full potential, so he puts it away for now.

Then, Bai Pu opened the middle Bloody Card.

In an instant, Bai Pu felt a surge of joy, as the card flipped over revealing... a golden light!

As the light faded, a piece of equipment appeared in Bai Pu’s hand.

This equipment didn’t look very attractive, approximately palm-sized, black and slightly elastic, resembling some kind of animal’s inner organ.

Worthy of Golden Equipment!

Not only does it have powerful poison stacking skills, but it also adds 3 points of Agility! If Bai Pu could use this accessory, he could compensate for his lack of means against powerful single enemies.

At the stage of a Low-level Awakened, no one can withstand 3 layers of Scorpion-tailed Lion Poison that ignores resistance!

However, the Scorpion-tailed Lion Poison needs to be applied to a weapon that can deal sharp damage...

Bai Pu looked down at his . At this moment, he wished he could replace it with a knife or a sword!

"I’ll head to the Divine Strategy Army’s supply department later and exchange it for a weapon. It’s just White Armor, I won’t feel bad replacing it!" Bai Pu murmured to himself.

It is worth mentioning that the ignoring damage reduction effect has an additional priority of 3, and with Fish Intestines’ elite profession priority of 2, the total priority reaches 5 points. However, Bai Pu’s form can forcibly break through the "ignore damage reduction, deal full damage" effect!

It seems that the priority of the talent is beyond Bai Pu’s imagination.

Currently, has stored 4 evolutionary forms, which are:

Scaly Skin corresponding to sharp damage, Fluid Skeleton corresponding to blunt damage, Cold Body corresponding to frost damage, and Deactivated Blood Image corresponding to toxin damage.

Next time he encounters a new damage type, he will need to delete an old form to store a new one, as can only store 4 evolutionary forms at most.

The influence of the Genetic Fragment from Blood Hand Colun gradually faded away, along with the feeling of overlooking everything with pride.

The 8-point power boost disappeared, but Blood Hand Colun’s superb fighting techniques left a deep impression on Bai Pu. He opened his Attribute Panel to find his Fighting Specialization had significantly increased in proficiency, reaching Advanced Level 1!

Unfortunately, after this fusion, Blood Hand Colun’s Genetic Fragment has vanished, and Colun is no longer among the images of mighty warriors in the that can be fused.

Replacing him is the image of Fish Intestines; just after his death, Bai Pu absorbed 3 points of his Life Source.

"Fish Intestines said before his death that this was not an end, but a beginning." Bai Pu thought silently, "He’s right. The Superpower Group won’t stop their retaliation against me, and I can’t stop moving forward either! I still need to seize the living tissue of the Primordial Heart from the Superpower Group to advance to a Hero Profession!"

Taking a deep breath, he exhaled slowly.

Bai Pu took off the and once again began to inscribe the spell of .

Jiangnan Special Military Base, Main Control Room.

Li Ling and Xiang Yinghua looked as if they had just watched a silent movie.

After watching Bai Pu slay Fish Intestines, Li Ling and Xiang Yinghua exchanged glances.

The former was shocked, the latter was astonished.

Li Ling quickly said, "Instructor Xiang, according to regulations, Bai Pu’s video data must be kept confidential."

Xiang Yinghua nodded, "Yes, rest assured, I certainly won’t speak recklessly, and the video data will not be disclosed to third parties unless necessary."

After making this promise, Xiang Yinghua issued a notification to the two special forces teams within the Boundary Land, canceling the order and instructing them to continue their training according to the original plan.

The Awakened soldiers stationed at the entrance passage of the Boundary Land also reported that they had successfully captured the female Awakened with the codename "Hanguang."

"Interrogate that woman later, and give me a copy of her statement," Li Ling said, "She is a member of the Superstar Alliance, and this assassination must be linked to them; her confession is evidence!"

"You can’t be too optimistic. These large conglomerates and powerful entities are deeply rooted, disregarding the law, and the state has long wanted to take action against them, but there’s no way to start,"

Xiang Yinghua shook his head, saying, "The Superstar Alliance has too many ways to clear their connection. The law requires evidence, and a solitary confession is not enough."

Li Ling knew this to be true, but effort must still be made: "I cannot just sit back and watch a member of the Genius Camp of the Divine Strategy Army be assassinated, even with bloody artifacts used, and do nothing."

Xiang Yinghua nodded slightly, "What you said is indeed correct; having an attitude of doing one’s best is necessary."

Li Ling looked at Bai Pu on the surveillance screen and said softly, "I initially thought Bai Pu was joking about becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but now it seems he wasn’t entirely bluffing."

"What?" Xiang Yinghua thought he misheard and repeated, "You mean the top scorer in the college entrance examination?"

Upon Li Ling’s confirmation, Xiang Yinghua shook his head repeatedly, "This young man can only be said to have decent potential, but his level is too low; it’s impossible for him to achieve nationwide first place."

"That’s because you don’t know how long Bai Pu has been Awakening!" Li Ling tried to put her shock into words. It has only been about a month since his Awakening, Bai Pu has already reached Level 2, counterattacking against two Level 3 Awakened, killing one and driving the other away!

She increasingly felt that Bai Pu was a promising talent with limitless potential.

Shortly after, Li Ling received a message. Her brows immediately furrowed.

"As expected, just as the instructor predicted, the Superstar Alliance expelled both Poisonous Thorn and Hanguang three days ago, citing that the two had caused great losses to the group..."

Li Ling sighed, "It seems that this time, it’s impossible to trace back and teach the Superpower Group a lesson."
