Chapter 119: Devour

“Right, I’m planning to strike on the day before the end of this month when the ranking list is finalized, catching them off guard. This way, there’s no way Long Hanjie can surpass me. Also, I want you to step in and arrange for a live broadcast of my move.”

Lin Xu was taken aback, “Live broadcast? What for?”

Ye Xuan found an excuse, “I want these geniuses, especially Long Hanjie, to know who the real monster is!”

Lin Xu chuckled, “So you want to show off, huh? Alright, I’ll host it. I guarantee to broadcast your extermination of the Nine Infants in the awakening academys of major universities. This is actually a kind of encouragement, showing the awakened from the martial world.”

“The academy faction has made the right decision by treating you as such a terrifying monster! Your desire to broadcast is beneficial to all aspects, and the country will help with publicity.”

“That’s great!” With Lin Xu’s assurance, one of Ye Xuan’s goals, to improve the favorability of other geniuses, had basically been achieved.

When you are slightly better than others, they envy you. When you are much better, they admire you. Ye Xuan’s purpose in hosting this live broadcast was to showcase his own strength, which was already in the realm of being too superior for others to envy, only to admire. And these emotions would turn into favorability!

In the following days, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli continued their missions. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan also shed blood several times to help Senior Wang Wu prolong his life. Days passed by like this.

In the Magic City, at the Blue Moon Bar, a tall, sexy woman was elegantly drinking, rejecting several men who approached her without hesitation. After a while, a tall, thin man approached her.

He deliberately showed off his Rolex on his wrist, smiling, “Beauty, care to have a drink together?”

The woman saw the Rolex, a symbol of power, and was intrigued. “Sure.”

Soon, the man and woman started drinking together. The man occasionally told some colorful jokes, making the woman laugh heartily.

Before long, the woman seemed unable to hold her liquor, leaning on the man.

With a smug smile on his face, the man took the woman out of the bar and headed to a nearby hotel.

In the hotel room, the man and woman engaged in a fierce battle. Suddenly, the woman’s face revealed a sinister smile, “You’ve stabbed me so many times, how about I stab you once?”

In the heat of the moment, the man agreed, “Sure!”

At that moment, no matter what the woman said, he would agree. And the next second, the man’s body was lifted into the air, pierced by a three to four-meter-long sword, and pinned to the ceiling.

The sword that pierced his body was none other than the woman’s arm. At that moment, the woman’s arm was normal in the upper half, but the lower half had completely transformed into a sword shape.

Blood flowed down the sword as the man’s eyes widened, seemingly not understanding why this was happening.

Then, the man gradually faded while pinned to the ceiling until he disappeared completely.

This was his ability, invisibility, a B-class ability. Although not strong, it was very practical. However, this time, his ability was completely meaningless.

After maintaining invisibility for two to three minutes, he died due to excessive blood loss, and his body reappeared.

Before he died, he saw the woman who had been passionate with him turn into a hideous, fat black man.

The fat black man still had a hint of satisfaction on his face, “It’s so comfortable being a woman, I’ll play more next time!”

Then, he retracted his arm, which had turned into a three to four-meter-long sword, causing the invisible man’s body to fall from the ceiling.

The fat black man’s hand changed again, this time into the size of a surgical knife.

He then used the surgical knife to open the invisible man’s chest, stabbing down, blood splattering everywhere. The fat black man immediately leaned in and began sucking it up.

During the bloodsucking process, the fat black man’s face also showed a comfortable expression. After three to four minutes, he threw the invisible man’s body aside, looking satisfied.

Then, the fat black man slowly closed his eyes. After a moment, his body gradually faded, and the invisibility disappeared.

After a few seconds of invisibility, the fat black man reappeared and said slowly, “Transformation, flight, invisibility, charm, swordsmanship. I already have five abilities. It’s time to make a big move!”

The fat black man, named Zhao Baogen, who had always been ordinary, awakened a very special ability on his own, Devour.

He had never undergone a spirit ball test, so he didn’t know the class of his ability. But he was very clear that he was definitely not weaker than those so-called geniuses.

His ability allowed him to gain the abilities of others by drinking their heart’s blood after killing them. The success rate of this acquisition was one hundred percent, and so far, he had never failed.

Zhao Baogen already had five abilities, but these abilities were mediocre. They were all obtained from low-class awakened individuals in the martial world. After all, Zhao Baogen’s own ability was just Devour, and he didn’t have many abilities himself. Acquiring the first few abilities had cost Zhao Baogen a lot of effort.

It wasn’t until he accidentally obtained information about a shapeshifter, tracked and killed him, that Zhao Baogen’s progress became much smoother.

He only needed to investigate and collect some information beforehand, understand the preferences of the target, transform into a likeness that the target would like, get close to them, and strike at the right moment to easily kill them and gain their abilities.

So far, although Zhao Baogen had five abilities, these abilities were mostly B or C class, which were quite weak. He wanted to make a big move and devour the super geniuses from the awakening academys!
