Chapter 65 - Level Up! (1/2)
The howls of innumerable profound beasts sounded from far away. Surrounding Jean, the shadows of a dozen or so profound beasts also started to move.
There were many beasts at the 1st Spirit Profound Realm, some were a bit over that while others were in the True Profound Realm.
Jean didn't take out his heavy sword or Dragon Fault, he just pointed both of his index at the beasts surrounding him and then he pressed an imaginary trigger with his middle fingers, suddenly, holes opened in two beasts, surprising the other ones.
This was another first time that Jean used a Schrift against someone, and this time, it surprised Jasmine when she noticed what happened.
In her divine senses, she saw a line that was around 3 inches thick appear between Jean's fingers and the beasts, and everything that was between them was erased, air and profound energy included.
This was straight up spatial manipulation! Jasmine could do it too, but only in places where the laws of space and time are weak, however, she knew that it won't make a single difference if he used X-Axis to an ant here and using it at her hometown against people like his father.
The only thing that she wondered the most is how the heaven didn't punished a ”Cheater” like Jean… Where are the heavenly lightnings?! Where is the so-called ”Punishment”?!
As if he was handling two guns, Jean kept shooting down the nearest beasts in the head, since they were weak, he didn't need to take them and use them as zombies, he dodged some of them with Star God's Broken Shadow and hit them with X-Axis, sometimes there would be 2 afterimages instead of 1, surprising Jasmine.
Jasmine: So… He reached the 2nd stage… No, he already reached it some time ago, he just was too weak to make two afterimages…
He didn't want to kill them all as fast as he could, he wanted to abuse of this place and use Almighty and Overkill to kill them instead of randomly killing them.

In the Blue Wind Imperial City, the Moon Embracing Palace was the place where Lan Xueruo, or Cang Yue, lived.
A palace maid walked in quickly, before she bowed and said respectfully.
Maid: Princess, Blue Moon Profound Palace's Palace Master Qin requests an audience.
Cang Yue: Bring him in.
Not long after, Qin Wushang walked in by himself and bowed to Cang Yue.
Qin Wushang: Qin Wushang pays his respects to Your Highness.
Cang Yue: Qin Wushang may spare the formalities…. Palace Chief Qin, did you come this time because you have information on Jean?
Five months ago, many people saw him enter and disappear, but since then, nobody has seen him come out. The number of geniuses who have died there is simply too many. Five whole months... Sigh, princess, you should stop being so attached to him.
”Hahahaha! Alright, alright! Then, goodbye, we will see each other in 7 months!”
Cang Yue: No….. Absolutely not! I believe that he'll definitely be fine! He promised me before….. He's definitely be safe and sound… He'll definitely return within half a year… He'll definitely be fine… It's definitely because he doesn't want to be found… It must be…
With time, her eyes turned misty, she kept holding on her hope that he would come out after 7 months. If she had known that he would be heading to the Wasteland of Death, she would have done everything to keep him here.
Qin Wushang: *Sigh* Your Highness, I saw the emperor just now and I consulted with him about issues regarding the coming Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. The emperor has allowed me to discuss it directly with Your Highness.
There's only two months of time left to the start of the ranking tournament. We need to choose the practitioner who will represent the Blue Wind Imperial Family. May I know if Your Highness has already chosen a person, or will it be through choosing an inner palace disciple from a competition like what had been done in previous years?
Cang Yue: …Palace Chief Qin, wait a little…. wait for a month and half more. If…. If there is still no news of him, then we will choose from within the inner palace just like we had in former years.
Qin Wushang: But, if it's that way, the timing would be…
He almost spoke ”Too rushed”, but once he saw Cang Yue's expression, he swallowed the words back.
Qin Wushang: I understand. Everything will be as Your Highness wishes. As for Jean, I hope Your Highness will be able to cheer up. Now that the Crown Prince and Third Prince are beheaded, you became the emperor's last pillar of support, so you must definitely take care of yourself…. Sigh, if I may be excused. 'She… She really fell in love…'
Cang Yue: ...Take care, Palace Chief Qin.
