CHAPTER 523: CHAPTER 191: SYNTHESIS OF THE FOURTH TALENT SKILL (6K)_3

Zhou Qing’s heart was startled. This must be the only possibility!

If so, why would the other party target Yan Xiaohu?

After all, the furthest place the third senior brother had been to was Lingyun Mansion. This was his first time at the Vast Mansion, so he wouldn’t have any enemies here.

For a moment, Gao Xuan’s words suddenly came to mind.

But looking at the figure of the other party, it didn’t quite match.

"No, this won’t do!" Zhou Qing’s eyes turned cold, and a yellow talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.

No matter who you are, today’s newly created "Bad Luck Sticker" will be put to use!

Then, Zhou Qing once again closed the distance between them, aiming the "Bad Luck Sticker" directly at him. After injecting his spiritual power, the sticker shone brightly, like a golden bolt of lightning shooting towards the other party.

Seeing this, the man in white’s face changed, and with a wave of his hand, several long swords emerged, slashing at the sticker.

But strangely, the sticker seemed like an intangible object, passing through the sword formation effortlessly, continuing its rapid pursuit towards the man in white.

The man in white immediately increased his speed to the limit, almost instantly widening the distance with Zhou Qing.

Yet, the sticker still followed closely, not only not slowing down at all but even faster than the man in white. It quickly disappeared into the void and reappeared right in front of him.

The man in white had no time to react, and the sticker hit him directly in the chest before disappearing.

The man in white immediately checked himself but found no traces on his chest or inside his body.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing was secretly amazed.

The power of the "Bad Luck Sticker" was indeed terrifying. Once a target was identified, no matter how strong they were, it would persistently enter their body.

At this moment, the man in white slightly turned his head and glanced deeply at Zhou Qing.

Then, his speed increased once again, and he turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the vast night.

"Definitely a Divinity Transformation Realm!" Zhou Qing stopped and murmured softly.

After a while, Yan Xiaohu hurried over, looking around anxiously and asked, "Where is he?"

Zhou Qing looked at Yan Xiaohu and replied helplessly, "He escaped!"

"Escaped? Even you couldn’t catch him? It’s over, it’s really over. From now on, it will only bring disaster to me. What did I do to deserve this?"

Yan Xiaohu said with a dejected face.

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "The other party should be a Divinity Transformation Realm."

Yan Xiaohu suddenly turned around, eyes full of disbelief.

Fourth brother, your third senior brother is timid, don’t joke around!

For safety, Zhou Qing still decided to apply to the academy to let Yan Xiaohu stay with him.

After all, his cave mansion was spacious enough, and they wouldn’t be staying long at the academy.

Although this violated academy rules, with the joint guarantee of Li Daoxuan, Lu Yaoyao, and Zhou Qing, three inner courtyard disciples, and some spirit stones spent, everything was quietly settled by dawn.

Rules are dead, but people are alive!

[Latest news, the person with the sticker, while searching for the "Bad Luck Sticker" in their body to no avail, accidentally ingested a poison pill while taking a large number of antitoxic pills, resulting in damage to their heart meridian and is now in a coma.]

At this moment, a line of strange text similar to a barrage suddenly floated before Zhou Qing’s eyes.

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly examined it closely. After confirming he wasn’t hallucinating, he looked surprised and couldn’t help but laugh.

The "Bad Luck Sticker" is already taking effect?

How interesting!

Unfortunately, its effect lasts only three days.

But the items from the system couldn’t be found no matter how you searched.

Even if it loses its effect in the future, just knowing something is inside but unable to find it would be frightening, wouldn’t it?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.

It also gave his third senior brother a good way to vent his anger.

As dawn broke, another message came.

[Latest news, after waking up, the person with the sticker left the academy and was targeted by a Divinity Transformation Realm demon beast while passing through a mountain range, resulting in a fierce battle between the two.]

Seeing this message, Zhou Qing was moved and quickly found Li Daoxuan to see if he had any way to find out which outer courtyard students weren’t at the academy at this time.

After hearing this, Li Daoxuan shook his head.

"This is really hard to check. The outer courtyard situation is quite complicated, and many students go on missions daily. Especially now, the sects and forces within the Vast Mansion are quite chaotic, with intense competition in the dark."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing felt a bit unwilling but had no choice but to give up.

By evening, another message arrived.

[Latest news, the person with the sticker, while using some overbearing secret technique to check their body in their secret base, caused physical damage again due to improper operation of spiritual power and is now in a coma.]

Uh...

Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn’t know what to say for a moment.

The other party had a secret base?

"Fourth brother, it’s really comfortable here!" Yan Xiaohu opened up a small cave on one side for himself, laid down bedding, and poked his head out with a cheeky grin.

After all, everyone has their privacy, and he actually didn’t want to come, but his junior brother cared for him.

Besides, the other party was a Divinity Transformation Realm.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said, "What’s so comfortable about it? A golden nest or a silver nest, it’s not as good as your own home."

Yan Xiaohu nodded in agreement, a hint of homesickness on his face as he lamented, "Yeah, I miss home too. I wonder how Old Mo is doing now?"
