Chapter 319: Instant Second Transformation

"..."

A boy's clear humming lingered in the canteen.

Fang Can's slender fingers held bamboo chopsticks, tracing a melodious arc in midair.

He lazily propped his chin, and as he sent a sauce-drenched bamboo shoot tip into his mouth, his ruby-like eyes gleefully narrowed, even his hair tips swaying gently with the rhythm of his chewing.

Although under ancient conditions these dishes had various flaws, deep in the mountains and forests, he could only endure the inconvenience.

Moreover, Fang Can discovered.

After no longer needing to waste energy due to the gazes around him, how incredibly good his whole life could be!

Yes, the gazes around him.

"Crack—"

The crisp sound of biting was especially clear in the silence.

Gazes from all directions were drawn like by a magnet, even the morning dew dripping from the eaves froze on the window lattice.

The female disciples of Yanfeng Sect held their soup spoons in midair, splashing broth onto their robes without even noticing;

a wanderer at the next table was poked on the back of his hand by bamboo chopsticks, yet he only kept staring at the boy's moist lips stained with sauce color.

'The senior is a bit... too showy.'

Ji Xinyu silently evaluated in her heart, and the next moment saw the boy suddenly lean close, silver hair sweeping across the girl's reddened ear tips.

"Little Ji, why are you always so dazed? Eat, don't starve."

Saying this, he placed a glistening chicken leg into her bowl, his fingertips smoothly brushing away stray hairs from her temple:

"This chicken leg tastes good, you try it."

"Yes, senior."

Ji Xinyu was made to feel a tingling numbness along her spine by the sudden fragrance, hurriedly biting the chicken leg, and due to her panic, actually bit a crack into the bamboo chopsticks.

Glancing from the corner of her eye at the shifting figures outside the door, she belatedly realized that the canteen was now completely surrounded, with even figures peering from atop the roof ridges.

'It's not my illusion; physical strength really has increased.' The boy thought while eating.

Since midnight, his strength had been steadily rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, seemingly because...

His gaze turned outward; sunlight spilled onto him through the lattice windows, and he could feel every beam of light boiling within his bloodlines.

'Is it a characteristic brought by arrogance?' Fang Can raised this thought in his heart.

Every sin in the Seven Sins Manifest Demon Scripture brings a brand new ability.

And because this technique was created one-to-one tailored to Fang Can's past cognition.

The abilities obtained might come from novels, anime, movies, or games he had seen in the past.

And now, as the first sin of arrogance, the brand new ability obtained seems to proportionally amplify flesh and blood strength according to the intensity of sunlight.

Feeling the unique amplification in his body, Fang Can's eyes flickered with satisfaction.

But Ji Xinyu, looking at the crowd in the canteen around her, felt secretly anxious.

Someone had spread the word that an unparalleled beauty had emerged from here, causing all sorts of onlookers and gawkers to swarm up; before long, the wall tops were packed with people.

Did they come here to eat? Ji Xinyu didn't even want to point it out.

Those straight, unblinking stares were so fiery they seemed ready to burn holes right through Senior Fang's underwear.

Watching the growing crowd of onlookers, Ji Xinyu felt somewhat anxious, a sensation as if her treasure was being peered at by others.

Sure enough, before long, the approachers came.

A woman nearing forty leaned forward: "How can these meals satisfy a young hero's palate? Why not come sit at my Wave Sea Sect? I have already prepared delicious delicacies for the young hero."

"It is Jian Haiyun, the sect leader of Wave Sea Sect; she has reached the Second Transformation cultivation realm before fifty, with the Third Transformation within reach!"

As the rough, hoarse female voice abruptly rang out, seeing the woman speaking, the surrounding onlookers immediately recognized her identity and began whispering.

Regarding this sect, they still had some knowledge; its reputation was not very good.

However, since they came invited this time to eliminate demons and uphold the Dao, past matters could be temporarily set aside.

Hearing the invitation, Fang Can looked up and glanced at the woman before him, saying: "Appearance mediocre, behavior vulgar, a withered flower and broken willow, unbearable to look upon!"

"What did you say?" Jian Haiyun's eyebrows shot up, her Second Transformation aura manifesting, silencing the surroundings.

"Didn't hear clearly?" Fang Can's eyes flashed with disgust as he said: "Just based on your withered flower and broken willow looks, you dare dream of being inspected by me? Dream on!"

"Go look in your mirror; seeing your face full of wrinkles turns my stomach. Just thinking that you might dream of me in your erotic dreams tonight makes me want to vomit."

Silence—

The entire canteen fell into silence, everyone staring blankly at the boy speaking such vulgar words.

Completely unable to imagine such low-class words coming from that clever mouth.

If watching the boy eat before was enjoyment,

then being insulted by the boy now... seemed not so bad either?

And as the object of the insult, Jian Haiyun's face was not so good; her face turned red with suppressed anger.

Not far away, Yang Danhong sighed lightly in her heart, silently rising to prepare to ease the atmosphere, but Fang Can was still spewing insults.

"What are you looking at? Looking is also a sin; seeing a person like you makes me sick. Get lost quickly." Fang Can issued the order in a cold tone.

Just an invitation met with repeated insults; even a mud statue would rise with a third of its anger in such a situation.

Jian Haiyun's eyes held extreme rage; she had already planned how to make this boy's clever mouth scream miserably on the bed tonight.

She only heard her coldly laugh: "Good, good, good..."

"Good your mother's head!"

Without even giving this woman a chance to speak harsh words, Fang Can had already pressed his palm onto the square table.

"Boom!"

Wrapped in a force field, the square table was not smashed.

Under the immense force, the entire table instantly sank, its four legs digging deep into the earth.

Immediately, Fang Can used the sunken table as a step, planted one foot on its surface, and drove his right fist out like a heavy cannon, striking Jian Haiyun in the face.

In an instant, Jian Haiyun felt only a sharp sting in his nose, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

The crowd heard only a deafening boom; Jian Haiyun was already embedded in the stone wall, with wall dust trickling down between the spiderweb-like cracks.

"A thing like a dog, yet you dare threaten me," Fang Can said, his tone chilling.

Three transformations... No! A Grandmaster!

Seeing that Jian Haiyun, at two transformations, could not withstand even a single strike from the youth, this judgment surged into everyone's minds.

In this suppressed world, the gap between two transformations and three transformations was not yet large enough to defeat an opponent in one strike.

Only a Grandmaster at the realm of four transformations could achieve such a feat.

A young Grandmaster at four transformations? How is this possible!

Even Yang Danhong and Ji Xinyu, who had already estimated Fang Can's strength, were now somewhat dazed.

A Grandmaster at four transformations? This is enough to serve as the sect master of one of the Liuda Sect!

Even among the existing Shier Sect, there is not a single Grandmaster-level expert stationed.

Paying no heed to the withered flower embedded in the wall, Fang Can sat back in his original seat.

With that punch just delivered, he discovered he had unknowingly broken through to two transformations.

In the instant of the realm breakthrough, the Great Sun he visualized within his body immediately expanded by a circle, and his strength began to leap into growth once more.
