Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"What could be more troublesome than this?"

Chu Yuan asked, "The fact that I can't use the Seed of the Strange is, in my opinion, the most troublesome thing..."

From now on, it can only be used to cultivate the vengeful spirits transformed from the strange entities within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"Master, have you forgotten? That issue we discussed before..."

This isn't the first time the Seed of the Strange has leaked out! And those that haven't been recalled are mostly in the hands of powerful members of the human race!

"What if they also refined the Seed of the Strange..."

"You mean, there might be many powerful people in the human race who have been transformed into monsters!?" Chu Yuan suddenly realized, and he felt a little strange... This Han You, after only a few days of enjoying the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, has his stance changed so completely?

"Exactly!" Han quickly added, "Our strange race is extremely difficult to detect once we possess someone!"

And those powerful individuals who transform into the bizarre... are even harder to detect!

They retain all their memories, and their personalities won't change much...

"Doesn't that mean nothing happened?"

"It's not that simple..." Han shook his head again: "They will eventually become members of the unorthodox faction!"

Chu Yuan asked, "Is there any precedent?"

"It seems so..."

"You know about this?" Chu Yuan asked, puzzled. If Han knew about it... even if he had only heard rumors about it;

That means this kind of thing isn't exactly top secret within the Weird faction;

The human race must have known this long ago... The situation he feared could not possibly happen!

After all, the surveillance capabilities of the Spirit Realm are no joke...

Han lowered his head meekly and said, "Master, in our Weird faction, there are countless Weirdos at the Fourteenth Realm... but those who possess the Weird Seed are few and far between..."

"..." Chu Yuan's gaze was somewhat dangerous, sensing that Han was still hiding something from him;

After all, he hadn't searched Han's soul...

Seemingly sensing the danger, Han quickly explained, "Of course, I now know that following my master is the best choice!"

He subtly changed the subject: "Regarding this matter, if Master can report it to the higher-ups of the human race as soon as possible, he will surely receive an incredible reward! Or..."

"Or what?"

"Or wait until the master becomes a strong person, and then investigate secretly yourself."

Using this threat to control the powerful... in order to gain more benefits!

The proposal was very tempting, but Chu Yuan found it troublesome;

The key question is, what is it about those powerful individuals that he would covet?

The most obvious use Chu Yuan could think of was to fill the Myriad Spirits Divine Array...

As for resources and secret techniques;

He doesn't lack it now, and he's even less likely to lack it in the future.

Having made up his mind, he immediately entered the spiritual realm. The best course of action was to tell the City Lord of Xuanqi directly.

But he didn't have the Xuanqi City Lord's contact information... They had only met once, and Chu Yuan couldn't just go up and ask to add him as a friend.

As for the tasks assigned to him, they were done through public channels, not as a private request from the city lord...

Therefore, he could only report this explosive news to Lawyer Lei through public channels first!

If it really is such a coincidence that the superior who saw his report happened to be one of those who had refined the strange seed and been transformed... then Chu Yuan would accept it!

He made up his mind that if any reply probed his location, he would immediately assume the other party was suspicious!

But before long, a special email appeared in his inbox;

Why is it considered special?

Because the sender is [Lord of Dreams]...

The higher-ups of our human race were already aware of this matter;

Such powerful individuals do exist, but they are all placed in inaccessible, eerie battlefields and are under close surveillance.

Do not search too much;

P.S.: Now that the mission is complete, return to the Taisu Star Region when the time is right.

Chu Yuan already knew that the Lord of Time Dreams was the Lord of Xuanqi City, but he didn't expect that the big shot would actually reply to him personally.

My report was forwarded to the city lord?

Is it because the city lord has been paying attention to him, or is it because Lei Lusi was originally within the city lord's jurisdiction?

He tried to reply to the email;

【Yes. 】

The reply came through smoothly, but then there was no further news...

In other words, starting today, I can establish contact with the city lord?

That's good news. From now on, it'll be effective no matter who you sue...

Chu Yuan shook his head. He had thought to himself, how could the human race be so useless? He had known about this all along; all his worries were for nothing.

As for the possibility that the city lord might also be assimilated by the strange seed... why don't you say that the supreme human race might also be assimilated?

If even these big shots are being assimilated, why not just vote for them directly?

.......

After waiting a few more days, just as Han You had said, Li Hong and the other two gradually regained consciousness and their minds stabilized.

Although they were assimilated, their essence was still superior, and the third and fourth realm monsters flowing from those strange seeds could not possibly invade their will... It's just that their essence has changed after all.

Chu Yuan summoned Li Hong and the other two, along with Han You, from within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and asked, "Do you feel any changes in yourself?"

Li Hong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It seems... there haven't been any other changes?"

Lan Feng said the same, adding that he also didn't feel that he had changed at all;

Chu Yuan asked curiously, "When you see Han You, don't you feel a sense of kinship?"

"..." Han dared not speak;

Aru hesitated for a moment, then said timidly, "But Master wouldn't feel friendly just because he sees a human, would he...?"

"..."

Makes sense!

Chu Yuan was stumped by the question. It wasn't just that he wasn't friendly... He didn't care most of the time, but there were many times when he just found him annoying.

Only a few people count...

"There have been changes...." A sharp glint flashed in Li Hong's eyes as he said hesitantly, "It seems there's a kind of disgust towards living beings!"

His spiritual power allowed him to see Yan Fan and the others on the outside, and a murderous intent rose in his heart!

I wish I could rush out right now and wipe them all out...

However, this impulse was still within the range that his willpower could overcome.

Han smiled and said, "This is normal, but it usually happens to freshmen who are strange... You'll get used to it after a while."

Aversion to living beings?

Chu Yuan pondered, Li Hong didn't seem to like living beings before... but it certainly wasn't as strong as it is now;

He stopped activating the protective barrier and asked, "Now? How do you feel?"

In an instant, Li Hong, Han You, and the other three stared at Chu Yuan with wide eyes!

Chu Yuan saw a sudden, intense, and uncontrollable greed surface in their eyes...

"..."
