I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 250 Assassination?

Xue Qinghe left with the soul bone in her arms, her mind full of worries. Xiao Wuji finally had some free time to properly prepare Dugu Yan.

Guided by the butler, Xiao Wuji found a spot where the previous owner of the house had engaged in erotic activities, and then chained him to a metal cross. He didn't exchange a single word with him during this time.

After leaving the training room, Xiao Wuji instructed the steward, "From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to step into this room, and you are not allowed to have any conversation with her!"

"Go find someone to seal the windows shut, so that not a single ray of light can get through!"

"I'll feed them myself!"

With Dugu Bo dead, Dugu Yan lost all value and even became a tool for Xue Qinghe to get closer to her.

However, if it had been him who died yesterday, no one would have gone to haunt a Title Douluo for the sake of a deceased genius; at most, they would have offered a few words of criticism.

His purpose in coming to Dugu Yan was merely to vent his anger on her, while also sending two signals to the outside world: first, he was vengeful; second, he had a penchant for beautiful women.

The former is his strength, and also his camouflage. The latter is his weakness, a weakness that those in power like to see!

However, compared to venting on Dugu Yan, it is clearly more important to refine the medicinal power and improve one's strength now.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, and during this time, Xiao Wuji hadn't even gone to the academy. Apart from the necessary rest, he spent almost every day training himself to the point of exhaustion.

Of course, in order to prevent others from mistakenly believing that he had the ability to store life force, he also deliberately revealed to the butler that he possessed a leg soul bone!
As the medicinal effects were gradually absorbed, Xiao Wuji's strength underwent a dramatic transformation within a month. In just one month, he went from level 33 to level 40, and his physical strength more than doubled.

"I wonder when my good brother will be able to get me a head soul bone with a spirit attribute!"

On this day, Xiao Wuji unusually did not cultivate. Instead, he headed towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Since his soul power could not be improved for the time being, he had the time to learn some martial soul knowledge.

Upon arriving at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, before he even reached the library, he was stopped by someone. To Xiao Wuji's surprise, this person was not Dugu Yan's boyfriend, Yu Tianheng, but Dugu Yan's good friend, Ye Lingling!

"You'd better have something to do if you stop me, or I'll make sure you're in trouble!"

Xiao Wuji wasn't the kind of person who would be unable to resist beautiful women. Now, he was at a crucial juncture where his strength was rapidly increasing, so naturally, he didn't want anyone to waste his time.

Seemingly somewhat intimidated by Xiao Wuji's fierce presence, Ye Lingling asked rather haltingly, "I heard that you captured Yanzi?"

"What, you want to save her?" Xiao Wuji said impatiently, "Don't worry, I'll release her once I'm done playing with her!"

Upon hearing the devastating news of her friend's passing, Ye Lingling instantly burst into tears, saying, "Yanzi's grandfather has already paid the price for his actions. Yanzi is innocent! You can't treat her like this!"

"innocent?"

Xiao Wuji said as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, "I kindly taught Dugu Yan how to detoxify, but instead of repaying me properly, she even wanted her grandfather to teach me a lesson."

"If I hadn't been more skilled, she'd probably be buried alive by now. And you dare say she's innocent?"

"Besides, no one else dares to come to me for people, but you do?"

After saying that, Xiao Wuji took out his spear from his storage belt and smashed it on the grass next to him.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Ye Lingling crossed her arms, took a half step back, and stared at Xiao Wuji warily.

"What are you doing? I told you before, don't waste my time!" Xiao Wuji grinned viciously, swept his gun across her and knocked her to the ground. Then, taking advantage of her attempt to get up, he circled behind her and slapped her buttocks with his gun.

"what!!"

Ye Lingling let out a scream, but Xiao Wuji showed no mercy. Although he didn't use his full strength, he still exerted some force. After all, this girl had a healing-type martial soul; hitting her lightly wouldn't teach her a lesson!

"stop!!"

Before Xiao Wuji could strike a second time, he saw a chubby boy running over from a distance and attacking him without warning.

A martial spirit resembling a chicken, a fat body, unsteady steps, a young age, and the cultivation of a Great Soul Master.

All these characteristics combined instantly reminded Xiao Wuji of a guy nicknamed "Evil Fire Chicken".

So, he's set his sights on Ye Lingling and is planning to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?

"The first soul skill, Phoenix Fire Wire!"

Facing the oncoming line of fire, Xiao Wuji simply grabbed the middle of the spear and, as the fire intensified, flicked the spear with one hand. The airflow carried by the spear instantly changed the direction of the fire, causing the flames to fall into the nearby garden.

After doing all this, Xiao Wuji suddenly paused, then looked at the spear in his hand with some disbelief. So, he had just casually created another new soul skill? Why did he always feel so familiar with spears? Could it be that he was a master spearman in his past life?
"Climb for me!!"

Startled awake by a strange scream, he looked up to see a chubby figure kicking him towards him. Instinctively, he thrust his spear forward.

"Ah, mine..."

Although Ma Hongjun tried his best to tighten the needle, it still penetrated quite a bit, and many of his intestines were also pierced. The sudden, intense pain caused him to lose consciousness almost instantly.

"nausea!"

He pulled out his spear with utter disgust, then went to the nearby fountain and thoroughly washed it before stopping. After that, he stopped lecturing Ye Lingling and went straight into the library.

A moment later, Ye Lingling healed her injuries, then glanced at Ma Hongjun not far away. To avoid being harassed by him again, she silently withdrew her martial spirit.

She didn't want it to be like this, but she just couldn't stand having such a disgusting guy following her around every day. If it weren't for her studies, she probably would have even considered dropping out of school.

……

He spent the entire day without food or drink, inadvertently draining the life force of several large trees to restore his own strength. Hunger could not hinder his acquisition of knowledge!
When the moon was high in the sky, Xiao Wuji finally left the library and decided to spend the night in his old dormitory.

He skillfully lifted the boulder at the entrance and took out a set of house keys from under it. Before he had a soul tool, he did not have the habit of carrying keys with him. Later, before he moved away, Xiao Wuji did not return the keys.

He skillfully opened the door. The villa was pitch black inside, but Xiao Wuji was quite familiar with the layout. The moonlight was bright enough to see the way, so he didn't bother to turn on the lights again.

He walked up to the second floor in the dark, then pushed open the door to his former bedroom and went inside.

Suddenly, Xiao Wuji felt a chill on the back of his neck. He subconsciously took a step forward, and a man-made breeze hit his neck, which terrified him!
Hiding in his own dormitory, attempting to assassinate him—could it be that his "talent" had been leaked, attracting the attention of hostile forces? Was it the Spirit Hall? The Star Luo Empire? Or perhaps Snow Star and Avalanche?
Without time to think, Xiao Wuji did a quick roll to dodge the attack and also got a clear look at the person behind him.

This is a black-haired woman in pajamas. She has a tall and straight figure, a cold face, and a murderous look in her eyes. You can tell at a glance that she is a seasoned assassin.

Moreover, it seems that in order to better ambush him, this woman did not even activate her martial soul, probably because she was afraid that the fluctuation of her soul power would attract his attention!
