Chapter 57: Add a Blessing for You

As for demon beasts, their transformation is called shapeshifting. They can transform from demon beasts to human form, but cannot become other species. The Three-Eyed Tiger can now transform into human form, but with its mini version size, it would appear like a baby. It cares about its image, so it wouldn’t undermine its dignity. Thinking about some things he could do after transforming, Brother Cheng chuckled with a bit of a glimmer. All the disciples were watching him, each secretly having a thought arise in their hearts. Why does it feel like the Sect Leader just became a bit sleazy for an instant? Bah, bah, bah, this must be an illusion. The Sect Leader is wise and mighty, how could he possibly be sleazy? Looking at the one million points needed to advance to the next level, Brother Cheng turned his attention to the newly acquired skill. Forcefully enhancing any target by a great realm, should he give it a try? His gaze swept back and forth over the disciples before finally settling on Ji Linghan. She’s the first person he met in this world, tender and considerate, obedient to him, she’s like the white moonlight in Brother Cheng’s heart. Opening the enhancement skill, a string of glowing characters appeared above Ji Linghan’s head. Target: Ji Linghan. Current realm: Soul Splitting Second Layer. Realm that can be enhanced to: Spirit Platform Second Layer (target automatically gains comprehension of this realm). Point cost: 30000. Damn, so expensive? Brother only has a little over twenty thousand points, it’s really not enough. He could only check the skill on other people. Target: Luo Yuan. Current realm: Gathering Yuan Ninth Layer. Realm that can be enhanced to: Soul Splitting Ninth Layer. Point cost: 3000. Ten times less. He also noticed a pattern—the lower the target’s great realm, the fewer points needed. Once crossing a great realm, due to breaking through the great realm bottleneck and gaining new abilities of that realm, the points needed would increase tenfold! Luo Yuan enhancing to Soul Splitting Ninth Layer merely enhances his divine soul ability a bit, whereas if Ji Linghan enhances to Spirit Platform Second Layer, she would gain the abilities of Spirit Platform out of nowhere. Of course, it takes more points. Thinking about it this way, if the Three-Eyed Tiger’s Demon King power wants to enhance a great realm, it probably won’t stop with a few billion points. Better let it go. Just when he planned to enhance Luo Yuan a bit to continue elevating his divine status in the disciples’ hearts, he suddenly changed his mind. It’s not that he was reluctant to spend three thousand points, but suddenly remembered, Luo Yuan is male. Brother Cheng isn’t against men; brotherhood is fine, but he’s worried the disciples might misunderstand him. With so many people, why are you so special to Elder Luo? Only enhancing him alone while neglecting others? Oh, you’re gay, it’s confirmed! This skill can only enhance one person at a time, with a cooldown time of a month, so he couldn’t defend himself within that month. Forget it, better switch target. He finally set the target on Yin Xuer. Why not choose someone more gifted like Lin Ning? She joined late, while Yin Xuer has been with him for a long time; you can’t neglect the seniors. On the other hand, Jiang Cheng still remembers Lin Ning’s bet with Ji Linghan. Lin Ning has only joined for five days and has already broken through from Spirit Formation Eighth Layer to Gathering Yuan First Layer. What if enhancing her too quickly makes her surpass Ji Linghan? By then, according to the bet, she would have to acknowledge him as her master. Target: Yin Xuer. Current realm: Gathering Yuan Ninth Layer. Realm that can be enhanced to: Soul Splitting Ninth Layer. Point cost: 3000. Enhance? To fully elevate his status, Brother Cheng didn’t immediately click confirm but beckoned with his hand. "Xuer, come over here!" "Huh? Me?" Yin Xuer didn’t understand what was about to happen and found it a bit strange. The Sect Leader has always favored Senior Sister Ji alone. Recently, with Lin Ning joining, a portion of his favor has shifted. Although she’s also a true disciple-level genius, she’s still a bit behind these two prodigies. The Sect Leader is nice to her, but treats her just as well as others, with no special treatment. So despite her beauty, she had long extinguished the desire to compete for favor. "Yes!" Jiang Cheng smilingly ruffled her hair. "Xuer, you can be considered one of the first veterans. I’ve always noticed your silent dedication." For the first time granting someone an enhancement, it’s better to make up some high-sounding reasons. Silent dedication? Have I silently dedicated anything? Yin Xuer was bewildered, so she could only nod. "Some efforts you haven’t spoken of, but they’re clear as day in my heart!" Brother Cheng thumped his chest, making a mutually understanding face, even though he himself had no idea what he was saying. In general, the sentiment is that Yin Xuer is quite deserving of a reward. Yin Xuer was even more confounded. What’s going on? Is the Sect Leader about to confess to me? Oh my god, really? Could it be that I’ve magically defeated Senior Sister Ji and Lin Ning, capturing the Sect Leader’s heart? At this moment, both Ji Linghan and Lin Ning’s breaths halted, almost fainting on the spot. "So I’ve decided to bestow you with a blessing." "Blessing?" Yin Xuer couldn’t comprehend. "Just consider it a reward." Jiang Cheng lifted his head, gazing at the sky above a corner of the hall, and calmly said, "Actually, this Sect Leader masters an immortal technique!" Immortal technique? The crowd was in an uproar. "An immortal technique!" "Could the Sect Leader be an immortal?" "He must be, otherwise how could Little Brain Axe, so powerful, submit to him?" "I’ve long known the Sect Leader is a divine being!" "What kind of immortal technique does the Sect Leader know?" Jiang Cheng calmly smiled, "You’ll soon find out." Then, he clicked confirm to enhance. A white light suddenly surged from bottom to top over Yin Xuer’s body, lasting three seconds before disappearing. Jiang Cheng’s right hand was still patting her head, and since he mentioned immortal technique, he had to at least put on a show. This appearance indeed had a bit of an ’immortal touching my top, granting long life’ feeling! When his right hand moved away, Yin Xuer’s eyes widened. She suddenly realized her power surged dramatically! The spiritual power within her had multiplied dozens of times compared to her previous Gathering Yuan Ninth Layer! Her divine soul underwent a fundamental change, and she inexplicably mastered the divine technique of Soul Splitting. Moreover, this divine technique was so refined, it felt like the next great realm wasn’t far. Now, she seemed capable of defeating a hundred of her former selves! Seeing her mix of astonishment and questioning gaze, Brother Cheng waved his sleeves, hands behind his back, and said freely, "I’ve helped you enhance by one great realm, you’re now Soul Splitting Ninth Layer." Soul Splitting Ninth Layer! These four words nearly knocked Yin Xuer to the ground in shock. Everyone went crazy; is this even possible? Ji Linghan and Luo Yuan immediately used their divine souls to perceive Yin Xuer, only to find they could no longer discern her power. This... After the initial shock, Yin Xuer was overjoyed. She couldn’t wait to fly into the sky, her Spirit Sword gently trembling, channels of celestial fire spreading across the skies, blocking the sun! With her divine soul split, the vast area around the plaza couldn’t escape her perception. That power surpassed even the previous Sect Leader of Feixian Sect. "Sect Leader!" She flew down, like a fledgling swallowing into Jiang Cheng’s embrace, her profuse tears rubbing and smearing on his shoulder. "Wuwuwu, Sect Leader, why are you so nice to me..."
