Vol Chapter 11 (1/2)

“No…… Nothing… When I was bringing him his meal this morning he did not look too good. Erm…… It is as though he has fallen ill. Also, he said that the herbs needed for preparing San Xiao Jie’ medicine were not enough. He asked me to buy another set of the same herbs. Oh, I also noticed him vomiting blood. It seems like he did not want anyone to know about it. If it wasn’t for my sharp observation, I would not have noticed.”

“Repeat to me again the herbs that he asked you to buy,” w.a.n.g Popo said, with a glimpse of curiosity in her eyes.

Chun Lan immediately rehea.r.s.ed all the herb names. After w.a.n.g Popo was done listening, she quietly murmured to herself and asked Chun Lan to leave.

The entire building block became as silent as could be. After a long while, w.a.n.g Popo thought to herself, “Vomiting blood? Is there such coincidence? Luckily Chun Lan was there when you vomited. You even tried to hide it. What you vomited was fake. The purpose was to trick people into thinking that you were injured. If I were to a.n.a.lyse it this way, in reality, you are not injured at all.

But, are you really uninjured? Hehe, if you did not ask Chun Lan to buy the herbs, me, w.a.n.g Popo, might have been tricked. You young man, are quite clever. But young man, even though you are smart, w.a.n.g Popo is not foolish either. Amongst the seventeen herbs, there is one that is used to treat internal injury. I think that this is the herb which you really want.

Pretending that you are injured when you are not and pretending that you are not injured to cover up the truth that you are injured. Playing the game of lies and truth, w.a.n.g Lin, you are frighteningly cunning. However, you are still young. Those tricks of yours will not work on me.

In my opinion, Mu Hai was at Level Two. It’s impossible for you w.a.n.g Lin, to be victorious unscathed.” Thinking that she had found out the truth, w.a.n.g Popo coldly smiled.

However, no matter how hard w.a.n.g Popo tried to a.n.a.lyse it, she would never guess w.a.n.g Lin’s true body condition.

In terms of this game of pretense, w.a.n.g Lin was indeed a few times better than her.

After killing Mu Hai, w.a.n.g Lin’s life was once again peaceful.

w.a.n.g Lin took out Mu Hai’s black cloth and carefully a.n.a.lysed it for a long time. This black cloth looked extremely ordinary. Apart from a gold coloured “X” sign st.i.tched onto the right bottom corner, it looked the same as any other ordinary cloth.

However, when he used his Sensing ability, he found something unusual. The cloth fibres were like blood vessels, with flowing liquid. Besides that, there were ten bright spots on the black cloth. Five of them were already dimmed, whereas the remaining ones were still lit up.

w.a.n.g Lin was amazed at this discovery. He once again touched the black cloth and realised that it was as though he was touching a piece of skin. At this point, he couldn’t help thinking that this cloth was actually a piece of skin from certain living organism!

Recalling how Mu Hai used this black cloth to shoot out two rays of black light, w.a.n.g Lin had an epiphany. He slowly transferred his soul power into the black cloth. At the time, the black cloth suddenly shook. w.a.n.g Lin’s soul power uncontrollably flowed into the cloth like a wild horse.

w.a.n.g Lin was surprised. After that he calmly used his Sensing ability to observe. He found out that once his soul power flowed into the black cloth, it was immediately absorbed into the blood vessels-like fibres and mixed with the liquid inside.

The liquid was initially moving very slowly, but after mixing with soul power, it sped up. The liquid flowed to where the five bright spots were.

At this time, there was an accident. When the liquid filled with soul power flowed into the bright spots, not everything entered. Around seventy to eighty percent of it was wasted.

w.a.n.g Lin immediately tried to exert control. Under his control, the soul power wastage was reduced.

The bright spots became brighter and brighter as they received more liquid filled with soul power. A dangerous aura was felt. Suddenly, w.a.n.g Lin’s brain trembled. Initially he saw a meteor moving through the sky. After that, five dimmed coloured light spots slowly appeared in his mind.

Just by thinking, a spot immediately disappeared, followed by the surging of a dark ray of light from the black cloth. w.a.n.g Lin threw out his metal ball.

At this time, the dark light hit the metal ball and with a loud “piang” sound, the metal ball exploded into pieces.

After that, there were only four spots on the black cloth!

w.a.n.g Lin was stunned. He remembered that the shopkeeper who sold the metal ball to him say that the metal ball could only be broken by a Physical Honourable. Even someone of Level Five would not be able to destroy the metal ball with one attack. Thus, anyone below the level of Honourables could use the ball to train. It was also due to aforementioned reason that w.a.n.g Lin had bought a few extra metal b.a.l.l.s.

If the shopkeeper was not lying, did that mean that the dark light was as powerful as the attack from a Physical Honourable?

However, Mu Hai did not have such ability and his speed was not that fast. If he had used the dark light with the same amount of energy and speed as w.a.n.g Lin, w.a.n.g Lin would not have been able to evade the attack.

After a.n.a.lysing further, w.a.n.g Lin finally understood. The power of this precious black cloth was dependent on the control of soul power. As the amount of soul power flowing into the bright spots increased, the destructive power would be greater. The same applied to speed! Thinking about this, he felt very relieved deep down.

w.a.n.g Lin regathered his soul power. He was extremely pleased. This was a precious piece of treasure. He carefully put the black cloth into the storage card and decided not to use it in the future, unless really necessary. After all, the bright spots had limited uses. The spots would decrease by one with each use.

Although one had gone to waste for the sake of experimenting, w.a.n.g Lin did not regret his action. If it weren’t for the experiment, how would he have figured out that this precious treasure contained such great power.

Mu Hai was so pitiful. He spent most of his lifetime hard-earned savings on this treasure and now it was owned by w.a.n.g Lin, after merely having using it twice. If he had found out about this in his grave, he would definitely vomit blood once again due to heartache and die.

After storing the black cloth securely, w.a.n.g Lin brought out Mu Hai’s storage card. He used his Sensing ability to sense. Suddenly, there was a weird look on w.a.n.g Lin’s face. In this card, apart from some food and groceries, there were a large number of tools.

Among them include a rubber stick, lubricating oil, strength a.s.sisting device and ma.s.sage stick. w.a.n.g Lin was momentarily stunned when he discovered this.
