Becoming God With Spirits - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Practicing Saber Moves

“Alright, I’d always thought that I was quite impressive, yet I didn’t expect you to be even more impressive. I’m so sad…” Little Leopard Cat had a disappointed expression, as though all her plans had been exposed.

Zhou Kai grinned at her without speaking.

Little Leopard Cat snuck a gaze at him, and then another one, before flaring up in embarrassment. She glared at Zhou Kai and said, “Alright, you win. Humph! I will not leave since you will not be chasing me away. However, the soul contract is indeed very important, for one is placing one’s life and future in the hands of the other party. Don’t sign a soul contract with any other anomalies carelessly.”

Zhou Kai replied coolly, “Do you think I would do that when even your nine lives aren’t tempting me?”

Little Leopard Cat was speechless.

A figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It belonged to the evil thoughts of the enchanting woman and it was holding a huge bowl of noodles that was emitting steam. After placing it on the table, the figure stood aside expressionlessly.

Little Leopard Cat turned away in distaste and walked away. “I’m going to eat a huge meal. You can eat the noodles.”

Zhou Kai shook his head as he watched her leave and disappear from sight.

He was actually still thankful for Little Leopard Cat.

However, it would be hard for him to trust her again.

Anomalies were inhuman.

This was something he had gained a deep understanding of despite coming into contact with anomalies for a short, limited time.

Nonetheless, compared to evil anomalies and evil thoughts, demon spirits were very much like humans. After all, they were made of blood and flesh.

However, anomalies were anomalies.

As the saying went, any being that was not a human did not have a pure heart.

Zhou Kai agreed with this wholeheartedly.

After discarding all the random thoughts that were on his mind, Zhou Kai looked at the egg noodles.

The enchanting woman’s culinary skills were unexpectedly good. She had cooked something as simple as egg noodles, yet it smelled really delicious. Zhou Kai drooled.

I have yet to eat dinner, and this is just what I need.

Zhou Kai walked over, picked up the chopsticks, and had a mouthful. His eyes shone.

The noodles were soft but chewy, and the soup was refreshing…

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. Poison Immunity +1.

Zhou Kai was speechless.

Sh*t, I was wondering why Little Leopard Cat was refusing to eat!

This was actually poisoned!

Since it’s able to level up my supernatural power, Little Leopard Cat will die if she eats it.

She has never believed in evil thoughts!

As expected, I’m still really naive when it comes to evil anomalies. I have a lot more to learn.

Despite lamenting his naivety, Zhou Kai gobbled the food down and finished the huge bowl of noodles shortly.

Although it was poisoned, he enjoyed the delicious meal.

The enchanting woman remained expressionless as she watched Zhou Kai finish eating. She looked like she had done nothing.

After eating, Zhou Kai wiped his mouth, stood up, and backhanded the enchanting woman’s face. His slap contained the Exorcism power and it immediately made the enchanting woman’s body disintegrate and become faint.

Zhou Kai’s expression turned cold. “I don’t mind that you poisoned me. In fact, if you’re able to kill me with poison, go ahead. However, I wish that you would not harm any living beings other than me. This is only a simple form of punishment. If this happens again, I will feed you to Old Tong.”

When he heard this, the eyes of Tong Leqing, who was standing aside like a servant waiting for orders, lit up. He looked at the enchanting woman greedily.

Because they belonged to the same species, the benefits of consuming her would be tremendous.

If I could really eat her, I might be able to kill this human.

Resist. Continue resisting so that this human will kill you and I will be able to eat you.

Zhou Kai ignored the enchanting woman, turned around while holding the long saber, and left.

Tong Leqing looked at the shadow with a thoughtful expression.

The enchanting woman was severely injured. She was at her weakest state, so one could easily eat her. Tong Leqing was very tempted to do so…

“Help her recover. I want to eat the breakfast she makes tomorrow morning. If I fail to eat any, I will feed you to her.”

Zhou Kai’s voice traveled over from afar, stunning Tong Leqing, who was filled with evil intentions. Then, he turned and glared angrily and venomously at Zhou Kai’s back.

F*ck! I will eat you! I really will!

As he silently screamed in rage, Tong Leqing turned and left the villa.

The best method to help the enchanting woman recover was by providing her with souls to eat. Since Tong Leqing did not possess any, he could only choose the secondary method of collecting Yin Qi, negative energy, miasm, and poisonous gas.

F*ck you, you b*stard human. How dare you bully me this way! How dare you!

Now that he had left Zhou Kai’s side, Tong Leqing could not suppress his evil intentions anymore and emitted a frighteningly evil aura that made it seem like he was crazy.

However, although he flew into a rage, he did not forget to collect.

He had no choice, for the dried sweet potato was still in Zhou Kai’s possession…

With a long saber in his hand, Zhou Kai leisurely strolled to an open field outside the villa.

This was a viewing platform that was perfect for practicing his saber moves.

Zhou Kai assumed his stance. While he was holding onto the handle of the long saber, his hands were stretched behind him. Limitless information on saber techniques appeared in his mind.

This information seemed to belong to someone who had practiced saber moves for several decades and had decided to impart all this knowledge to him in one go. This made Zhou Kai feel that he could do it as well.

However, his way of thinking was wrong, for memories were just memories and his body was ordinary.

After organizing the information he had obtained, he gave up on practicing the saber moves.

He had mastered the saber techniques, but his body could not follow the movements. Irreversible damage would be caused to his body if he forcibly practiced the saber moves.

Therefore, what he needed to do now was cultivate the saber instead of acting cool by executing saber techniques.

As people said, a weapon was the extension of the body. A thought would make the saber move.

The essence of a weapon was to transform into a part of the body.

With the saber techniques’ foundation in mind, Zhou Kai slowly stretched out and moved.

His feet were steadied in a horse stance, his body was upright, and his hands were holding the saber handle and extending behind his body. He controlled the Saber Qi within him with his intent, making it encircle his body along the path of the basic saber technique.

The Saber Qi moved through his veins and meridians, causing piercing pain, as though thousands of needles were piercing his flesh.

This level of pain was unbearable for the average person. However, this was child’s play for Zhou Kai, who would face anomalies and get attacked by them.

He remained expressionless as he controlled the Saber Qi and made it slowly flow to his palm. Upon making contact with the long saber, it extended onto it.

The general’s evil thought within the long saber was alarmed as a result and looked over.

It seemed prepared to launch an attack.

However, upon seeing what Zhou Kai was doing, it fell silent and allowed the Saber Qi to travel along the long saber and return to his body.

After one circulation, a blood-like connection was formed between the man and the saber. Zhou Kai felt an inexplicable sense of heroism.

The Spring Autumn Saber, also known as the Green Dragon Crescent Moon Saber, was 2.7 meters long and 265 kilograms heavy. The blade and handle had been forged using Profound Mutated Metal and the Hundred-Year Jujube Wood, a process that took three years and seven months to be completed.

During the 1,000 years that had passed since it had been forged, it had cut down 50,000 souls.
