Super Hint System: Everyone is a Cultivator

Chapter 22: Evolution of Sword Skills

With Vivian’s help, Adams successfully rescued Constantine. After helping him to calm his breathing, Adams also took out some medicine to safeguard Constantine’s heart arteries and treat his external injuries. After a round of internal and external medicating, his injuries finally stopped worsening.

Constantine slowly opened his eyes and looked at Adams and Vivian, who almost made him die of anger. “What did you find at the base?” he asked bitterly.

Adams chuckled and said, “Your life was just barely saved yet you’re still harping on the military base. You really value benefits above all else! But you don’t have to feel upset. The important resources in the base have long been moved away, leaving behind only some low-grade ores and Zerg materials. If you don’t believe me, I can take you there to have a look!”

With that, Adams turned to Vivian and said, “Since the Wanderers here are crazy enough to attack military spacecrafts, they must be extremely dangerous. He’s severely injured, and it’s too dangerous for him to continue staying here. Take him to the base to heal first!”

Vivian nodded. Then, she was stunned for a moment before asking Adams, “What about you?”

Adams’ eyes were resolute as he said, “I can’t leave yet. I have to get my hands on the Evil Blood Spring here!”

“No way, I won’t let you act alone!” Vivian was even more determined.

When Constantine heard the words Evil Blood Spring, his eyes suddenly trembled. He asked weakly, “Is there a huge valley outside?”

Adams and Vivian turned to look at Constantine at the same time. The surprise in their eyes was as good as admitting to his question.

Constantine forcefully sat up and shook his head as he said, “No, I can’t leave! Those Wanderers must have gone to the Scarlet Cave. I have to stop them!”

When she saw that Constantine couldn’t care less about his life as well, Vivian, who had been trying her best to stop Adams from acting on his own, couldn’t help but ask, “What’s with you? You’ll die if your injuries remain untreated!”

Constantine looked up at Adams and said with mixed feelings, “The Scarlet Cave was one of the sacred grounds of the Zerg race back then. It had once given birth to a King of the Zerg race which caused serious losses to the human army stationed here. Later on, the military paid a huge price to kill that Zerg King! As the Scarlet Cave is where the Zergs offer sacrifices to that Zerg King, the Zerg materials inside are very abundant. At the same time, there is also an S-rank material called the Evil Blood Spring. Not only can this material be used to make certain magic scrolls, it can also be used as a supplementary resource to cultivate Demonic energy. Hence, it is extremely expensive on the black market! ”

Born into an aristocratic family, Vivian naturally knew quite a lot of secrets. She asked in shock, “You mean that a person who has been possessed by the devil would be willing to pay a high price for the Evil Blood Spring in order to cultivate?”

Constantine looked at Adams with more wariness in his eyes. He said in a low voice, “In today’s world where cultivation is difficult, there are many people who secretly cultivate with demonic energy in order to obtain great power. There are even some aristocrats among them! Moreover, when the human army evacuated from the Zerg realm back then, they had already taken enough Evil Blood Springs with them to make magic scrolls. Hence, everyone in the market who needs Evil Blood Springs is trying to get possessed by the devil”

Vivian was greatly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. She then turned around and looked at Adams.

If what Constantine said is true, then what is going on with Adams’ missions?

Adams also realized that Constantine suspected that he was possessed by the devil, so he took out his mission list and placed it in front of Constantine. He explained, “This is my mission list for the coming-of-age ceremony. If I remember correctly, the military is responsible for coming up with the mission lists!”

Constantine’s eyes widened. After verifying that the mission list in front of him wasn’t fake, Constantine muttered to himself, “Could it be that someone in the military is also possessed by the devil?”

Adams and Vivian fell silent. They didn’t want to comment too much on this matter, but they reminded themselves inwardly that the military wasn’t an absolute force of justice. They would have to be careful if they were to interact with the military in the future.

After a long time, Constantine snapped out of it and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit again. He stood up with difficulty and said to Adams, “Since someone in the military might have been possessed, I can’t let the large amount of Evil Blood Springs appear on the black market! You must have a unique ability since you were able to find this place. I won’t ask where you got it from. I only ask if you’re willing to stop this matter with me.”

Without any hesitation, Adams nodded solemnly. At the same time, a doubt gradually formed in his mind. This Constantine doesn’t seem to be that simple. If I want to figure out what the system’s hint about the lucky chance is, I can only continue to follow him and observe.

“Alright, let’s go!” Constantine said in high spirits, but he nearly fell to the ground after taking a step out.

Adams couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He reached out to support Constantine and motioned for Vivian to open the door.

After leaving the cabin, the three of them could only walk slowly inside the spacecraft due to Constantine’s injuries. This made Vivian feel extremely nervous and on edge.

This is the core area of the spacecraft. If we continue at this speed, we might be discovered by the Wanderers guarding the spacecraft!

Before Vivian could voice her concerns, a voice came from the corridor ahead, “Who’s there!”

The three of them looked up at the same time and saw a tall man standing in front of them. He was wearing a worn leather trench coat and his hair was messy. He looked filthy.

Before Adams and the others could reply, the man recognized Constantine and immediately shouted, “B*stard, you have companions? All of you just die right here!”

Before he could finish his sentence, a golden gleam flashed across the man’s eyes. He stomped heavily on the ground, causing the entire metal corridor to tremble. Then, he charged toward Adams and the other two like a cannonball.

“Be careful, this person is a level-one warrior!” Adams instantly determined that the other party’s strength was comparable to his own. He drew the Winter Sword from his waist while reminding Vivian behind him.

Vivian’s reaction was not slow either. Almost at the same time that Adams reminded her, she was already holding onto the Death Ray Encirclement Scroll.

However, no one expected that the first to react would be the severely injured Constantine!

At the same moment the man charged at them, Constantine broke free of Adams’s grip and erupted using the last of his strength. He charged forward and grabbed the man’s wrist with both hands. Then, with a twist, he pinned a healthy level-one warrior to the ground.

The next moment, two brilliant golden rays burst forth from Constantine’s eyes, and numerous wounds appeared on the man under his control. Large amounts of blood flowed out and amassed into pillars of blood that entered Constantine’s body.

Then, Constantine’s injuries began to heal at a visible rate, and his vigor began to rise.

Vivian, who had witnessed all of this, hurriedly walked behind Adams and whispered in a low voice, “This is an A-rank offensive skill commonly practiced in the human army, known as the Blood Devouring Battle Incantation! I’ve seen someone in my family use it before, but to be able to recover from injuries so quickly requires at least a level-three warrior!”

“It seems like he’s still hiding a lot of things from us, but that’s not important anymore!” Adams kept his gaze on Constantine as he spoke excitedly.

At the same time, he heard the system’s voice, “Hint! Successful battle observation. The first form of the Nine Swords of Flying Star, One Sword to Heaven, has obtained the effect of devouring blood!”
