Chapter 72: Resolve (2/2)
Yet Shuhang was absolutely horrified.
“No problem, definitely!” He hastily replied, he had a premonition; if he didn’t agree, tomorrow he would enter the hospital and keep Professor Renshui company. The pitiful Teacher Renshui still hadn’t been discharged…….
“Good boy.” Jiang Ziyan rubbed Song Shuhang’s head, “Then let me tell you; the killer’s companion who hid in the hotel or the one pulling the strings in the dark had been caught off guard and had come into contact with the poisoned a.s.sa.s.sin who infiltrated your bedroom. How unlucky. As Medicine Master’s acute poison is incredibly tyrannical, the poison would enter the bloodstream, causing the victim to become a source for the poison. Therefore, the companion or boss behind the scenes has also become poisoned.”
“Now the question is how deeply poisoned he is. If he is deeply poisoned, then his photo will appear in the newspapers in a few days. If he wasn’t poisoned too badly, then he would need to go through closed door cultivation for at least half a year or so to concentrate on expelling the poison.”
“Oh, there’s one more possibility. If the other party is of the 5th Stage – Spirit Emperor, it would be a different story. Of course, this possibility is practically zero. Because, if the other party is of 5th Stage – Spirit Emperor, you’d already have dropped dead by now. Hehe.”
If the opposite party was of 5th Stage – Spirit Emperor and above, there wouldn’t be a need to consider Song Shuhang, even Soft Feather who brought him to catch the spirit ghost wouldn’t have left J City alive.
Jiang Ziyan made some calculations based on the remaining aura in the hotel, and estimated that the opponent is at the 2nd Stage – True Master realm. Against an opponent like this, Song Shuhang had no chances of success in a direct confrontation. But now that the opposite party has been poisoned, using his brains and some luck he might be able to handle the opposite party.
Jiang Ziyan: “What do you think, this is good news, right?”
“It’s good news that makes one delighted.” Song Shuhang answered.
If the opposite party is poisoned, his strength would definitely be greatly decreased. Furthermore, he would have a pressing need to search for ‘medicine’. In that situation, Shuhang’s chances of finding a trace of this person becomes higher.
Jiang Ziyan inquired, “I heard Medicine Master say you have a method to find the a.s.sa.s.sin’s companions?”
“Yes, I received some clues from Senior Medicine Master and I have already asked a friend to search according to those clues. However, there’s still luck required in finding the opponent.” Song Shuhang replied.
Jiang Ziyan asked, “Then……. If you find the opponent, what do you plan to do?”
“I’ll see how strong the opponent is. If I have a chance, I’ll take advantage of his sick state to kill him, to settle him once and for all. If I’m can’t handle him, I’ll have to ask the seniors in the group for help.” Song Shuhang clenched his fists and said.
“Handle? Hehe.” Jiang Ziyan did a cutthroat gesture, “Well then…… For someone like you who has never killed a person, do you have the resolve to kill off your enemy?”
“…….I, will be mentally prepared!” Song Shuhang lowered his voice and said, “Whether it is for my safety, or the safety of my family and friends, I will make my resolve.”
Resolve, he must have. He must have it even if he doesn’t!
The opponent is someone who uses underhanded tricks, if he didn’t even have this bit of resolve, he should just wash up and wait for the opponent to come collect his head.
“That’s good. I can only advise you to never show mercy to your enemy. Also, be sure to ascertain whether the enemy is truly dead. There are countless ways for cultivators to survive. When necessary, destroying the corpse totally is the most reliable method. For 2nd Stage pract.i.tioners, you need to at least cut off their head.” Jiang Ziyan stretched her back, “Well then, good luck.”
As she said that, she didn’t await Song Shuhang’s reply, and had already jumped out of the window, disappearing from Shuhang’s line of sight.
“Thanks.” Song Shuhang softly said.
……
……
At 4:40PM.
Shuhang dragged his exhausted body and ran 5km.
“No good, there’s a limit to how much running would benefit the body. Should I consider wearing weights? But weights seem to have adverse effects towards the body’s height, causing someone to be unable to grow any taller?”
“With the Body Tempering Liquid here, it should be fine.”
There was a myriad of thoughts in Song Shuhang’s mind.
Forget it. I’ll just go back to the dormitory to rest. I’ll make a proper training plan for the weights and bodybuilding a few days later.
