CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 154: YOU ACTUALLY DARE TO TRICK ME!

*Genius Spirit Acquired: Demon King’s Genius Spirit.*

*Demon King’s Genius Spirit: Purple Quality. It contains the original Genius Spirit of the White Tiger clan spirit beasts. This spirit was forcefully stripped and refined by a great supernatural power master. It can transform a mortal body into a White Tiger spirit body, inherently possessing the White Tiger Genius Spirit.*

*This item can greatly enhance a person’s talent.*

Murong Fenghua... Demon King’s Genius Spirit...

The vision dissipated, but Wen Zhixing still hadn’t snapped out of it. Just now, it was as if he had been in another world; the vision he had just seen had shocked him greatly.

Before this, he had already understood the importance of the Genius Spirit. Like Si Nanyan, who had been searching for him persistently just to acquire a Genius Spirit. She was waiting for the moment to mature, to absorb him, and achieve the Yin Yang Genius Spirit. Even Si Nanyan couldn’t condense a Genius Spirit on her own, which showed how difficult it was to cross the threshold into the Genius Spirit Realm.

The Shedding Mortal Realm is a threshold. That threshold isn’t too high, and most people have the chance to cross it. But the Genius Spirit Realm is yet another threshold. This threshold is so high that it blocks almost all cultivators from progressing further.

Either you have extraordinary talent and are born with a spirit body, capable of condensing a Genius Spirit on your own, or you must have a powerful background, with a mighty figure to seize another person’s original Genius Spirit for you. Otherwise, there’s basically no chance to defy fate and change destiny. If not, Wang Shiyang wouldn’t have been so excited before.

Right, that Murong Fenghua... couldn’t she possibly be the cultivator in the Primordial Spirit Realm sleeping in the Wonderous Palace...?

A jolt went through Wen Zhixing’s mind as he suddenly realized something. This Demon King’s Genius Spirit... it makes me feel that something is off. Other than this person, there shouldn’t be a second one in Wonderous Palace who could possess this Demon King’s Genius Spirit.

Damn, how did the Life Defying Blood Body find this person...?

Wen Zhixing was somewhat dumbfounded. This is someone even Liu Qingxuan holds in awe! Goodness, what has the Life Defying Blood Body been up to these past few days? Idiots really act without thinking. I only asked him to go find Liu Qingdai; how did he end up messing with a big shot?

Wait a minute. The Life Defying Blood Body hasn’t returned yet... Could he be with Murong Fenghua?

Wen Zhixing’s heart tightened slightly.

That’s not right. According to what Liu Qingxuan said, Murong Fenghua should still be asleep. Perhaps the Life Defying Blood Body merely passed by unwittingly?

Life Defying Blood Body, you have a fool’s luck, but don’t do foolish things, Wen Zhixing silently prayed for him.

The Life Defying Blood Body was one of his lifelines. If it died, it would be as if he had died once. Now, Wen Zhixing didn’t even dare to dissolve his Divine Ability. If Murong Fenghua truly awakened and happened to be near the Life Defying Blood Body, he himself might get noticed by her.

To be on the safe side, I’ll let him take the brunt of it.

She should still be asleep; otherwise, things wouldn’t be so calm, Wen Zhixing consoled himself.

BUZZ!

Just then, a bright light appeared before Wen Zhixing’s eyes. The fortune reward began to arrive. The space before him tore open, and a brilliance stepped out from within. Suddenly, a somewhat ethereal white tiger genius spirit appeared in front of him.

This White Tiger Genius Spirit seemed like a newborn. It was about the size of an average house cat.

"AWOO!"

With an AWOO, the White Tiger Genius Spirit leapt forward, landing on Wen Zhixing’s shoulder. It affectionately rubbed its large forehead against him.

"Hm..." Wen Zhixing’s body sank slightly, then he was startled. Is this White Tiger Genius Spirit alive? This is the first time I’ve ever acquired a Genius Spirit. It’s somewhat different from the White Tiger Genius Spirit I saw before.

"AWOO?"

The White Tiger Genius Spirit tilted its fluffy head, puzzled. Why isn’t he paying attention to me?

After thinking it over, it stuck out its tongue and tentatively licked him. SLURP... Wen Zhixing felt a ticklish sensation on his cheek and immediately came back to his senses.

"AWOO!"

The White Tiger Genius Spirit was delighted. Hehe, he’s paying attention to me! Okay, I’ll lick again!

"First, stop licking me..." Wen Zhixing reached out, held the White Tiger Genius Spirit’s head, and took the chance to give it a stroke. Though the White Tiger Genius Spirit appeared a bit insubstantial, the feeling of touching it was not much different from that of a real creature.

"AWOO~"

The White Tiger Genius Spirit closed its eyes comfortably. That feels good! Do it again!

Strange... Wen Zhixing picked the White Tiger Genius Spirit off his shoulder and examined it closely. This is indeed somewhat different from what I imagined. No matter how I look at it, it seems just like a living spirit beast. I had thought it was an item to enhance my strength; now it seems more like a pet.

"AWOO~"

Just then, the White Tiger Genius Spirit, as if it had seen some toy, leapt nimbly from Wen Zhixing’s hand. It started bouncing around the Refining Artifact Hall.

Wen Zhixing watched the playful White Tiger Genius Spirit, thinking to himself, Whether it’s dead or alive, whether or not it has a will, if I want to absorb it, I should be able to, right? If even that infant girl, Murong Fenghua, could absorb it, there’s no reason I can’t.

However... it probably won’t be of much use to me...

Wen Zhixing was clear in his mind. I am now a Longevity Body. This constitution exceeds what’s known as a spirit body by who knows how much. And the Longevity Body can slowly absorb external energy to grow stronger. If I weren’t hindered by my divine soul, I could just hide away until the end of days and emerge invincible. Unfortunately, I can’t do that just yet. But, absorbing this White Tiger Genius Spirit will undoubtedly have its benefits. It should definitely strengthen me quite a bit.

*Note: This White Tiger Genius Spirit is a replica, and its origin is the same as Murong Fenghua’s White Tiger Genius Spirit; the two are identical.*
