Chapter 107: A Secret of Heaven

"Bone girl, na sai! Bone girl, na sai! Bone girl, na sai!"

"Without Lord Cang's permission, I should not have investigated your Lower Dantian on my own; please forgive me, Lord Cang!"

Shangyi Huimeizi was apologizing while performing vigorous melon-flinging exercises.

Facing Facing Cang Luo stared blankly for a long time, finally his conscience struck, remembering she already had a boyfriend; he quickly averted his gaze and said awkwardly, "Junior Sister Shangyi, stop quickly, I am not angry."

"Hai!" Shangyi Huimeizi immediately stopped the melon-flinging exercise, looking at Facing Facing Cang Luo with confusion, "Lord Cang, do you really only have Warrior Stage 9 cultivation?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo was speechless, "Didn't you just look at my Lower Dantian? Is there some method to hide cultivation?"

Shangyi Huimeizi thought very seriously; indeed, there were methods to hide cultivation. High-level Wu Shi had means to hide and disguise their cultivation, and there was also a heavenly treasure called Illusion Origin Fruit that could disguise cultivation.

Lord Cang is obviously not a high-level Wu Shi; which high-level Wu Shi would tame a first-level demonic beast as a beast pet?

Besides, at first hearing the Shadow Tiger was a fifth-level demonic beast, he got scared and ran away immediately, showing no style of a high-level Wu Shi at all.

As for the Illusion Origin Fruit...

Shangyi Huimeizi thought it over and decided against it; she would rather believe Facing Facing Cang Luo could kill the Shadow Tiger across a realm than believe he had an Illusion Origin Fruit.

Her sisters are spread across the seven Huaxia nations of the Yuanwu Continent collecting intelligence in major sects; for nearly ten years, no Illusion Origin Fruit has been found appearing anywhere...

Seeing Shangyi Huimeizi in a daze, Facing Facing Cang Luo waved his hand and asked, "By the way, Junior Sister Shangyi, why have you come back?"

"Ah!"

Shangyi Huimeizi was startled, quickly saying, "Lord Cang, there is a Thunder Leopard Sheep behind us; let us join hands to kill it!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo was speechless again; so you ran back because you were chased by a demonic beast, when I foolishly thought you came back out of worry for me.

Hehe, I was just being self-pitying.

Facing Facing Cang Luo shook his head a bit sadly; the Thunder Leopard Sheep Shangyi Huimeizi mentioned, he had already seen via satellite. If he remembered correctly, the Thunder Leopard Sheep was a second-level demonic beast.

Just from the name, it was known that the Thunder Leopard Sheep was a Thunder-attribute demonic beast, with a leopard body, sheep head, sheep horns on its head, and the sheep horns could release lightning attacks.

Among first and second-level demonic beasts, Thunder-attribute ones were rare; if Facing Facing Cang Luo were currently at the General stage, he would very likely tame the Thunder Leopard Sheep as a beast pet.

Unfortunately, Facing Facing Cang Luo was still at Warrior Stage 9 cultivation; he had been consuming demonic cores to cultivate these past two days, but unfortunately, his cultivation had not advanced a single step. Facing Facing Cang Luo even began to suspect he had no hope of advancing to the General stage.

Right, the Shadow Tiger's demonic core!

If he ate a fifth-level demonic core, could he break through to the General stage?

Facing Facing Cang Luo was delighted and prepared to dig out the Shadow Tiger's demonic core.

But just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from ahead; next, a strange-looking gray-furred demonic beast leaped out from behind the bushes.

This gray-furred demonic beast was precisely the second-level demonic beast, the Thunder Leopard Sheep!

The leopard body and sheep head were indeed very strange to Facing Facing Cang Luo, an Earthling; its sheep head fur stood on end like steel needles.

Hidden within the fur was a pair of two-foot-long gray sheep horns; Facing Facing Cang Luo guessed the reason the Thunder Leopard Sheep's fur stood on end was due to static electricity from the horns.

Very ugly!

The entire sheep head looked like a gray sea urchin.

Facing Facing Cang Luo thought the Thunder Leopard Sheep was very ugly, not matching his aesthetic sense, and instantly lost the thought of taming it as a beast pet.

"Mie ya die! Mie ya die!"

The Thunder Leopard Sheep looked cautiously at Facing Facing Cang Luo and Shangyi Huimeizi, and let out two strange cries at the two; the sound was very difficult to describe and very grating.

Not like a sheep, not like a leopard, it was actually a bit like a wild cat in heat.

Facing Facing Cang Luo completely gave up on the thought of taming it as a beast pet at this point, and retorted, "Ya mie die? Is it in heat?"

Shangyi Huimeizi was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "Does Lord Cang also understand Dongying language?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo said awkwardly, "A little, a little; many teachers in my hometown teach Dongying language through practical demonstration. Although I didn't actively study it, watching occasionally made me learn a bit."

But I don't know much; I can only understand some simple vocabulary, like 'Don't!', 'Give it to me quickly!', 'Harder!'—that's all..."

Shangyi Huimeizi was stunned again, then her face turned red with shame; she understood.

Many women in Dongying engage in this flesh trade in the seven Huaxia nations; in the eyes of Huaxia people, Dongying women are all such lowly women.

However, in Shangyi Huimeizi's eyes, they were strong ones, strong ones who sacrificed themselves for the rise of Dongying, for Dongying to surpass the seven Huaxia nations.

Gently shaking her head, Shangyi Huimeizi stopped thinking about these things; her eyes became sharp as she said, "Lord Cang, let us kill the Thunder Leopard Sheep together; its sheep horns can be made into throwing spears, one for each of us."

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded; the Thunder Leopard Sheep's horns were very valuable. Made into throwing spears, they were the favorite weapon of Chu Kingdom soldiers, able to easily pierce conventional armor and even explode.

When thousands of soldiers threw them together, the power was boundless; without high-level Wu Shi to block them, they could destroy cities and capture strongholds.

While the two were speaking, the Thunder Leopard Sheep suddenly launched an attack, charging rapidly at Facing Facing Cang Luo with a pair of horns; clearly visible between the two horns were several arcs of electricity buzzing.

Shangyi Huimeizi immediately said, "Lord Cang, dodge quickly; let your beast pet exhaust it first, and we will act when the opportunity arises..."

Before she finished speaking, Shangyi Huimeizi had already flashed aside and jumped away; the Thunder Leopard Sheep did not chase her, but fixed its target on Facing Facing Cang Luo.

Facing Facing Cang Luo smiled, "Picking soft persimmons to squeeze? Even demonic beasts judge strength based on cultivation? Do they think I, a Warrior Stage 9, are easy to bully?"

Seeing Facing Facing Cang Luo still standing there laughing, Shangyi Huimeizi frowned and cried out sharply, "Lord Cang, dodge quickly!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo seemed not to hear, neither dodging nor avoiding; secretly, he had already activated Meiti Shengong and was charging the Dragon-Slaying Palm.

In the next moment, the Thunder Leopard Sheep was already close to Facing Facing Cang Luo; its sharp horns stabbed straight for Facing Facing Cang Luo's heart at extreme speed, and arcs of electricity at the horn tips traced a pale blue path during the impact.

However, while the Thunder Leopard Sheep was fast, Facing Facing Cang Luo's speed was not slow either; moreover, he possessed Dynamic Capture Ability.

Although Dynamic Capture Ability could not increase Facing Facing Cang Luo's speed, it could maximize his reaction force, thereby pushing his speed to its limit.

At this moment, the Thunder Leopard Sheep's movements switched frame by frame in Facing Facing Cang Luo's eyes like a slide show, slow as a turtle crawling.

In fact, Facing Facing Cang Luo's own movements were like this in the satellite's camera.

However, Facing Facing Cang Luo's advantage lay in his extremely strong reaction force, in using stillness to control motion, and in being able to strike adaptively.

Boom!

Facing Facing Cang Luo sidestepped the Thunder Leopard Sheep's horn impact by a hair's breadth, then used the fully charged Dragon-Slaying Palm to smash hard onto the Thunder Leopard Sheep's head, sending it flying with a dull thud.

The Thunder Leopard Sheep died instantly; its sheep head exploded like a flower, blood splattered everywhere, but fortunately the horns were undamaged.

Facing Facing Cang Luo dispersed Meiti Shengong, secretly watched Shangyi Huimeizi via satellite, and said calmly, "A second-level demonic beast? Nothing special; I alone am enough!"

Beside them, Shangyi Huimeizi stared at Facing Facing Cang Luo, her mouth agape.

"What martial art was that palm strike just now, Lord Cang? The power was immense; you slew Lei Bao the Ram with a single blow."

Shangyi Huimeizi could not help but ask again, "Lord Cang, is your cultivation truly only at Warrior Stage 9?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo replied indifferently, "Do I need to lie to you? Did you not see that I could not even muster any Qi just now?"

Shangyi Huimeizi thought it over, agreed, and asked no more; instead, her embroidered brows furrowed as she fell into deep thought.

By all rights, how could a Warrior Stage 9 cultivation so easily slay a Second-Grade Demonic Beast? And as for the Shadow Tiger, Lord Cang showed no signs of injury after killing it.

Furthermore, Lord Cang's Lower Dantian holds Yuan Power of three attributes, one of which is Attributeless Yuan Power.

Something is amiss, something is greatly amiss!

Lord Cang definitely has a secret!

Could it be that he cultivated a Heavenly Grade Art? Was that palm strike just now a Heavenly Grade Martial Art?

Or perhaps Lord Cang possesses a martial Dao inheritance from a Wu Huang, or even a Wu Di?

Shangyi Huimeizi speculated on her own about the secret behind Facing Facing Cang Luo's immense power, while Facing Facing Cang Luo widened his eyes—no, he widened the satellite camera lens to spy on her, inch by inch, zooming in to peer...

Facing Facing Cang Luo could not understand; this Japanese girl seemed not to care that she was barely clothed.

After a long while, Facing Facing Cang Luo felt deeply guilty and ceased his peeping; he picked up his long sword and dug out the demonic cores of the Shadow Tiger and Lei Bao the Ram, along with the Ram's pair of horns.

The Shadow Tiger's demonic core, like its fur, was a deep blue, whereas Lei Bao the Ram's demonic core differed from its hair, being pale blue, likely due to its being a Thunder-attribute Demonic Beast.

Facing Facing Cang Luo also discovered that the Shadow Tiger's demonic core emitted light, radiating a faint, deep blue dim glow.

The Ram's demonic core did not emit light; neither did the demonic cores of First-Grade Demonic Beasts he had hunted in the past.

Facing Facing Cang Luo knew it must be due to the Shadow Tiger itself; after all, it was a Fifth-Grade Demonic Beast and had to distinguish itself from lower-grade ones.

"Eat it now?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo murmured while looking at the demonic core in his hand, then shook his head, deciding to find a safe place to refine it slowly.

After securing the demonic cores, Facing Facing Cang Luo took out his mobile phone and snapped a flurry of photos of the Shadow Tiger and Lei Bao the Ram corpses, then posted them on Weibo, writing: "Fifth-Grade Demonic Beast Shadow Tiger, Second-Grade Demonic Beast Lei Bao the Ram..."

While Facing Facing Cang Luo was typing, he failed to notice that Shangyi Huimeizi had silently appeared behind him, staring with wide eyes and a look of shock at his mobile phone.

She watched Facing Facing Cang Luo type, watched him finish editing the text and upload photos of the Shadow Tiger and Lei Bao the Ram, then publish them to Weibo...

Shangyi Huimeizi was stunned.

What treasure is that thing in Lord Cang's hand?

How did the Shadow Tiger and Lei Bao the Ram appear inside it?

And there are Chinese characters; judging by the content, Lord Cang seems to be recording what he did today, writing that he just hunted the Shadow Tiger and Lei Bao the Ram...

It seems he is seeking credit, his words brimming with pride.

Shangyi Huimeizi was extremely shocked; what treasure is this? It can record text and even images of the Shadow Tiger and Lei Bao the Ram.

A few seconds later, Shangyi Huimeizi was shocked again; she saw that Lord Cang was clearly not recording text, yet the text appeared on its own.

The newly appeared text seemed to be replying to the content Lord Cang had just recorded...

At this point, Shangyi Huimeizi was completely bewildered.

The treasure in Lord Cang's hand can not only record text and images but also communicate and connect with others!

Who is Lord Cang communicating with? To whom is he reporting the situation?

In this moment, Shangyi Huimeizi knew she had discovered a massive secret...
