Chapter 242: Unveiling the Truth and HU Xian’Er’s Body (2/2)
“Don’t worry. I am all you will ever need. And I am a man of my word. There will be a place for you in this Infinite Mountain Range,” Bai Xiaofei slapped his chest and promised, not giving Hu Xian’er a chance to continue wallowing in sadness.
Hu Xian’er remained in a short silence before her tears turned into laughter. She nodded solemnly. “Um, I trust you!”
“That’s more like it. The heavens will not forgive you if you don’t smile more after getting a face so pretty you can turn all living beings mad.”
“What should I do now?”
With only the two of them alone, Hu Xian’er was no longer with the confidence she displayed earlier. She seemed to have completely forgotten about the promise she had made Xing, Hong, and the others. Love was indeed something capable of turning someone foolish…
“What else can you do? As you yourself said previously, to become strong as soon as possible. With your current strength, it’s pointless to keep worrying over it. Just work hard to learn everything the academy has to teach. That is your sole task for now.”
Hu Xian’er might be at a loss, but Bai Xiaofei’s thoughts were clear. He would never allow Hu Xian’er to risk her life.
“By the way, what happened to your body? What had you gotten from that Saint Rank magic core? Even now, I still don’t understand how you had defeated the golden wolf,” Bai Xiaofei finally asked the question he wanted to ask a long time ago. Facing this question, a smile formed on Hu Xian’er’s face. This was a topic she was very willing to talk about.
“There is nothing special about my body. Apart from having a magic core, thicker origin energy, and stronger physical flesh, I am no different than an ordinary Transformation Stream puppet master.”
Bai Xiaofei broke out in cold sweat when he heard that.
You call that nothing special? You have enough origin energy to fight several battles in a row without being exhausted during the New Student Tournament, and you are strong enough to send a Monarch Rank magical beast flying with a single slap. If that is nothing special, humans would have conquered the Infinite Mountain Range long ago.
“What’s with your puppets?” Bai Xiaofei suppressed the envy in his heart and asked a different question. Not a single ability Hu Xian’er had revealed was weak. Based on the classification of Transformation Stream puppet masters, her puppet abilities were definitely from the Phantom Fox. But it was impossible that Hu Xian’er would actually slaughter a fox for puppet abilities.
“Those are abilities I gain automatically. The moment I fulfill the requirement, I will regain a part of my original strength, and at the same time, I will obtain an ability of the equivalent strength.”
Bai Xiaofei sighed. She made everything sound so simple…
“What about the Saint Rank magic core? What did it give you?” Bai Xiaofei asked and swallowed. With so many powerful magical beasts fighting over it, that magic core was definitely not a simple item. He had personally witnessed Hu Xian’er’s shocking performance of crushing a Monarch Rank magical beast that was far above her rank. What ability exactly had she gotten from that magic core?
