The proof of Emperor Wu began with daily rewards for diligence.

Chapter 75 Soul Search

When Chen Jue saw Tang Xi easily kill the leader of the black-clad men, his face immediately lit up with wild joy.

This is a Star Demon's familiar at the Second Realm!

If he were to finish the job, the two thousand spirit stones he had borrowed from Pei Qingying tonight might not be enough.

He strode forward, about to draw his knife, but Tang Xi stopped him with a gesture.

"Don't panic, there's still some information we need to extract from this guy's head."

Tang Xi took out two tokens engraved with mysterious spiritual patterns from his storage space. He stuck one on the forehead of the dying leader of the men in black and the other on his own forehead.

Keywords: Chamber fire, sacrifice, true demon.

"Start search!"

As Tang Xi recited the command, the spiritual patterns on both tokens simultaneously emitted an icy blue light.

The black-clad leader, whose soul had been searched, was convulsing uncontrollably, as if he were having an epileptic seizure.

Tang Xi also looked uneasy, his brows furrowed, his mind overwhelmed by a flood of useless information, even the veins on his temples bulging.

About a minute later, Tang Xi was the first to give in and cut off the connection, causing the blue light of the spirit patterns on the two tokens to fade and return to their original state.

"Damn, I have a headache."

"From now on, let whoever wants to do soul-searching do it. Just because my soul is stronger than that of an ordinary person doesn't mean they can single me out for it."

Tang Xi rubbed his temples hard, his brain feeling like it had been pricked by needles, the pain unbearable.

Chen Jue's gaze remained fixed on the two spirit-patterned tokens in Tang Xi's hand. After a long while, a strange expression appeared on his face.

[Gained Soul Skill: Soul Search (0/10000)]

【Soul Search: Contact the target's brow and use your powerful soul to search for and imprint the target's soul information.】

[Note: The greater the difference in spiritual strength, the more detailed and faster the search.]

Conversely, the user's soul is highly susceptible to backlash.

This is the soul skill that Chen Jue learned from the three golden spirit patterns in his soul sea when he was observing the spirit patterns on the token.

It transformed into an ice-blue rune, which was firmly embedded in the underlying framework of the golden spirit pattern in the center.

If Chen Jue is a Shadow Ghost, then he is most likely gone.

If the Shadow Ghost's first awakened skill is not an offensive soul skill like Soul Impact, then this Shadow Ghost will have a hard time surviving to the end in the brutal competition.

But Chen was not a Shadow Demon; for him, who lacked access to information, this soul skill was far more powerful than anything called "Soul Impact."

Offensive soul skills like "Illusory Gaze" are much more useful.

All I can say is—awe for the gifts of nature!

Tang Xi and the others collected the scattered banknotes and led the black-clad leader, whose soul was severely damaged and who could only drool, out of the underground casino and to an open area.

After obtaining Tang Xi's permission, Chen Jue stepped forward and ended the life of the black-clad leader with a single stroke.

It is worth mentioning that before he made his move, Meng Liang had already stepped forward and used the coffin lid made of the Four Wood True Qi to suppress the violent metal-type True Qi in the black-clothed leader's body.

However, this seal is not very secure.

After Chen Jue received the wisp of the opponent's hazy second-stage possession true energy, the opponent's headless corpse began to suddenly swell.

Without a second thought, Chen Jue hurled the headless corpse into the sky.

"What the hell?! Brother Wu, what kind of superhuman strength do you have?! Are you even human?"

""

Liang Ben stared wide-eyed at the headless corpse that had flown a full thirty meters into the air.

This force is at least three thousand kilograms, which is one percent of the force of a hundred-ton king that can travel at thirty kilometers per hour.

boom!

The only response to Liang Ben's words was a headless corpse that exploded thirty meters in the air like a golden firework.

The golden, sharp energy scattered in perfect spheres, transforming into streaks of dazzling, bright light.

"Perfectly wrapped up!"

Tang Xi stood on the open ground, watching the golden fireworks bloom in the sky, and snapped his fingers to signal the end of the operation.

"Thank you all for today's matter."

"If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

""

"Mr. Wu will do his utmost to help!"

'

Chen Jue turned around and clasped his hands in thanks to Meng Liang, Tang Xi, and Liang Ben, leaving his anonymous email address.

Given the strength of the three of them, they could have easily left him out of today's situation.

With Meng Liang's guarantee, the other two regarded him as a close friend and were willing to lend him a helping hand.

It would be impossible for Chen Jue not to be moved by this friendship.

However, he had too many secrets and found it difficult to be honest with others, so he could only make empty promises to express his apology.

"Brother Wu, why are you so polite?"

"We are all here to eliminate the evil spirits and demons, and helping each other is only natural."

Meng Liang remained as forthright as ever, and in his heart, he admired Chen Jue even more.

In his eyes, they were different from mediocre people like himself who had gotten lucky and relied entirely on God's blessings.

Brother Wu is a true prodigy who has cultivated his astonishing strength step by step through his own efforts. He is an idol for all ordinary martial artists!

Tang Xi spoke up to remind him.

"I just extracted something incredible from the brain of the Oni-Golden Kin—"

"The 100,000th Grand Ceremony of the Fire Sect, under the protection of various forces, will be held on an auspicious day one hundred days from now."

"At that time, the sky above the Shihuo star system will move exactly to the sky above Linjiang, and the Shihuo Cult will summon the next auxiliary star true demon whose realm surpasses immortality at the lowest cost."

"At that time, even the four families and one government will not be able to control it. A sixth major power will be born in Linjiang that will overturn the current situation!"

""

"During this period, the Fire Sect and the powerful clans behind it will inevitably intensify their suppression of us who resist."

""

"I don't know if you have any other forces backing you, but be extra careful lately. If things get really bad, join our Divine Alliance; the door is always open for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jue once again bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Then, having something he needed to say, he spoke up: "Don't you all find the attitude of the four families and one prefecture rather strange? What benefit would it bring to Linjiang if another force emerged that could rival them?"

"Are they complaining that they're hoarding too many resources and want to share some with others?"

Tang Xi waved his hand and said, "Don't think of first-class families as so stupid."

""

"None of these families that have stood strong in the Divine Dynasty for ten thousand years are easy to deal with."

"Since they allow the powerful clans of the inner city to cause trouble in the outer city, they must be able to profit from it."

"It's just that they're positioned too high; few people at their level know what they truly want."

Seeing that Tang Xi had no further insights, Chen Jue could only sigh.

"Fine! I hope they don't play with fire and get burned, and end up killing themselves."

"The people of the outer city are pitiful. Who knows how many will die before the fire can be quelled?"

Meng Liang put his hands behind his back and looked at the distant river.

I thought to myself, my strength is not yet strong enough. When it is strong, I will surely shatter the palaces of the nine heavens and overthrow these aristocratic families and corrupt dynasties!

Chen Jue bid farewell to the three, his body disappearing into the darkness like a dragon diving into the abyss.
