Chapter 18 - 15: The Mysterious Ancient Books"Master..." Jinx's voice murmured softly, her beautiful eyes shimmered with captivating colors, irresistibly enchanting. She is no kind-hearted schoolgirl; she is a seductive Dark Creature, a Vampire. Bai Yan's killing of the Demon Hunter only made her admire him more, only made her see Bai Yan's domineering and powerful side, rather than screaming in fear at the sight of the Demon Hunter's corpse. "Hmm?" Bai Yan raised his head, his pupils returning to normal. With the external threat gone, he had reverted to his primary identity of the human Camp. "Go start the car." Bai Yan ordered indifferently, saying, "I'll be there shortly." "Mhm." Jinx was very obedient. She nodded, turned, and walked away with her sexy, snow-white long legs, her sultry gait like that of a cat, her skirt swaying, and her slender waist twisting enticingly, itching one's heart. Bai Yan looked down at the pitiful Demon Hunter, sizing him up, then let out a sigh. Bai Yan squatted down and closed the guy's eyes that were wide open in death, as if he were protesting the injustice of his fate, lamenting that a grand Demon Hunter had been killed by a real Demon. He's probably complaining to God right now, I'm supposed to be a Demon Hunter, right? That's seriously at odds with the character setting! "Kid, why did you have to mess with me if you were going to die anyway?" Bai Yan sighed, looking at the Demon Hunter's corpse very seriously, and said earnestly, "Sometimes, I can't even control myself!" What Bai Yan said was true; at this stage, he really couldn't control his Demon identity. The slightest provocation could trigger his Demon identity to activate involuntarily, turning Bai Yan into a bloodthirsty and violent Abyss Demon. However, Bai Yan, after reverting from his Demon state, had a calm disposition, not much different from an ordinary person—although he was not exactly a good person, he at least didn't take pleasure in killing like a Demon. With a mindset against waste, Bai Yan waved his hand, and a ray of light from the System's Demon Altar swept over, absorbing the corpse of the Demon Hunter for refinement. [Ding! Congratulations to the host, refined a Class-C Demon Hunter corpse, obtained 250 demon energy points.] Yo, 250 points! This guy is worth more than that bunch of black people! Bai Yan was a bit surprised, then instructed the System, "Heal my palm." "Shua!" The System's screen popped up, and a blood-red light enveloped Bai Yan's palm, which had been split open by the Holy Water Bullet, rapidly healing it. In just a few breaths, the gruesomely wounded palm was healed by the System, and Bai Yan's hand was unscathed, with fingers fair and slender. Healing injuries to a certain degree was not challenging for the System. [Ding! Healing of the host's injuries, consuming 200 demon energy points.] The System provided the prompt. Bai Yan's expression darkened. Great. I killed a Demon Hunter, healed my injuries, and in the end, I'm only left with 50 demon energy points as a benefit? This Demon Hunter is really poor! There's hardly any benefit to killing him. Seems like I'm at a loss? Bai Yan stroked his chin, his gaze falling on the Demon Hunter's motorcycle. Demon's Eye instinctively activated, and Bai Yan's Vampire Talent for night vision and x-ray vision came into play, allowing him to see clearly the items inside the cowhide backpack that belonged to the Demon Hunter. Passport, green card, bullets, Holy Water... "Eh?" Bai Yan frowned, a sudden curiosity in his tone as he spotted something strange in the cowhide backpack. Bai Yan strode over and took the object out. It was an ancient yellowed thread-bound book titled "Martial Arts Nine Realms Secret Method" in simplified Chinese characters! These six characters, powerful and majestic, seemed to exude an overwhelming aura of dominance, as if written by a Martial Arts Emperor himself, or as if his aura lingered on the pages of the ancient book. This item, it must be extraordinary! Just the aura of the script on this book's surface is filled with an ancient charm, and it even carries a faint sense of might. But, looking at this ancient book, hasn't it been around for quite some years now? Why are the characters in simplified Chinese? Could it be that this is a fake antique created by some unscrupulous merchant? Bai Yan frowned and opened the ancient book, giving it a brief scan. The first page was blank except for one line of small print: The basic Martial Arts Heart Method widely spread in the Human World, personally compiled, revised, and bound by the Master of the Human World. The rest of the content included human meridians, acupoints, pathways of Gang Qi, cultivation realms, Heart Method Mantras, Divine Power Seals, experiences of predecessors in cultivation, and so on. This ancient book was very thick, almost as thick as half a New Hua dictionary, with very little content on the cultivation methods, and more on recorded experiences of cultivation. Just the cultivation experiences and insights of the so-called Master of the Human World and a guy named Wang Chuanyi occupied a good half of the book. Is this a deceitful counterfeit? That was Bai Yan's first reaction, given that he's a modern man who tends to think Qigong and the like are somewhat unreliable, a bit too mysterious. But then, the System dispelled Bai Yan's doubts about the ancient book. [Ding! One ancient book of the Human World detected! It is the basic Martial Arts Heart Method commonly used by the Human Race of the Human World. This method is known throughout the Star Sea for its vigorous and domineering style, and its righteousness, and is suitable for the host's primary identity to practice.] The System's cold, mechanical voice rang out, startling Bai Yan. Damn! This is the real deal, not a fake! This is an authentic cultivation Heart Method! Bai Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. After all, both the System and demons had appeared, and he had even been to the abyssal planes. Now Bai Yan can more readily accept the emergence of an Inner Cultivation Heart Method. But Bai Yan still had some doubts in his heart. Why would this ancient book appear in the hands of a Demon Hunter? What exactly is the so-called Human World; does it refer to Earth? And who exactly is the Master of this Human World? Bai Yan shared his doubts with the System, but received no response. Bai Yan pondered for a moment, then solemnly put the Heart Method away. Well. Since the System has identified it, its effectiveness is undoubtedly assured. He had previously been concerned that his human identity was too weak and wouldn't be able to suppress the negative effects of his demon identity on his soul and sanity, but it seems there's no need to worry about that now. Since the System praised this ancient book Heart Method, it must be powerful. If I practice it diligently, I can definitely enhance my human identity's strength, and thus achieve a balance of power with my demon identity, preventing any significant negative impact on my soul. Bai Yan thought to himself. As a man who has been very self-disciplined since childhood, he naturally did not want any of his identities to affect his soul; he needed to keep his soul's purity intact. Whether it be the demon identity or the human identity, both are Bai Yan's. But his soul, that's always just one! The soul is the essence, and identity is but a tool... Having resolved his decision, Bai Yan planned to study this Martial Arts Nine Realms Secret Book thoroughly once he got back. As for the motorbike and other items in the backpack, as well as the silver revolver... Bai Yan frowned. He originally wanted to use his demon identity's Small Inferior Demon talent "Corrosion Technique" to obliterate any traces, but upon reflection, Bai Yan decided to leave these items to Jinx instead. Although the items in the backpack were of little value to Bai Yan, they were quite good for Jinx, and they might come in handy at some point. This woman, she was quite concerned for my safety before... "Master, come on quickly~~~" The soft voice of Jinx rang out, as she urged Bai Yan from within the Maserati. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The blonde beauty's smile bloomed like a flower, her azure blue eyes rippling with waves, and she seemed even more enchanting after the crisis had passed. She was trying to tempt the demon again. Bai Yan pursed his lips and strode towards the Maserati.
