Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing Xiao Shuang's question, Qin Xiao hesitated visibly for a moment before replying seriously:

"If I had to choose, would it be someone a little smaller and with a more mature personality?"

"Oh~"

Xiao Shuang patted his shoulder, about to make a few teasing remarks, when a figure suddenly popped into her mind.

He was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hiss—could it be her?"

Xiao Shuang assumed she was overthinking it and didn't continue the conversation.

"Let's go back to sleep."

He released the hand that was on Qin Xiao's shoulder and yawned.

"We still need to keep 'mowing the lawn' tomorrow, so let's try to raise our levels and not hold Old Ye and the others back."

Xiao Shuang's brief moment of stiffness did not escape Qin Xiao's notice.

He raised an eyebrow, trying to steer the conversation back on track:

"I'm the only one who said it, what about you?"

"Hey, hey, the fighting on the western front is intense, how can I have the energy to think about anything else?"

Xiao Shuang immediately looked embarrassed and quickly declined.

"Stop talking nonsense. I've already told you. You have to give me a straight answer tonight."

"Seriously?"

Qin Xiao said with a serious expression:

"Seriously."

"Then... I'll tell you?"

Xiao Shuang's lips curled into a smirk as she stared at him with "affectionate eyes."

"grass!"

Qin Xiao felt a chill instantly, then turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the night.

There's a ghost living in the dorm!

"Pfft! Hahaha!"

Xiao Shuang remained standing there, bursting into laughter.

……

Meanwhile, Jiang Mian had already entered the [World].

Due to the influence of the [Formless] power, the sky turned gray during the day, and a corner of the sun was eaten away, creating a rather strange atmosphere.

Out of sight, out of mind, she simply switched to "eternal night" mode.

Anyway, she can sense the progress of the devouring process herself, so there's no need for her to come in specifically to check.

Ye Chenyang was sitting on a huge rock by the sea, his body surrounded by shimmering runes that were particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

Jiang Mian squatted to the side, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him.

Having been with Ye Chenyang for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen him condense the [Radiance] rune.

Because they often slept together, whispered secrets, and told bedtime stories, Jiang Mian learned quite a bit about his situation.

After reaching the third tier, Ye Chenyang will be able to use runes to select additional attributes.

In the third-to-four round, he chose "strength," which greatly enhanced his physical fitness.

When advancing from four to five, "Speed" must be chosen, and the power of space will be activated simultaneously.

Now that we've reached the fifth to sixth stage, we've chosen "Soul," which greatly enhances our spiritual power and completes our first full qualitative leap.

The sixth-tier skill of [Eternal Day] is named [Eternal Light] after his original title.

Once it hits, it can use powerful spatial forces to break down the target at the molecular level.

At the same time, their soul will also suffer a great deal of damage.

If you withstand the first impact, there will be burning damage and tearing damage from spatial forces, which have extremely strong adhesion.

Moreover, it will always hit targets already marked by the power of [Eternal Day]!

It can be said to be a very powerful offensive skill.

Even the top players of the same level would find it difficult to withstand and dare not confront it head-on.

Noticing that Jiang Mian was right beside him, Ye Chenyang stopped condensing the runes.

He suppressed his breathing and opened his eyes to look at Jiang Mian.

"Brother Ye, why did you stop?"

"It's okay, the progress can be saved, it's fine to stop for now."

Ye Chenyang patted her head and said softly.

"oh."

Jiang Mian turned around, sat down beside him, and looked into the darkness in the distance.

"Brother Ye, is there any way to attract the high-level calamities within the Sea of ​​Blood without a full-scale war?"

She knew perfectly well that if she tried to openly "capture" a high-level calamity, the other party would definitely get angry.

If a full-scale war breaks out, many people will definitely die.

"Let me think..."

Ye Chenyang put his arm around Jiang Mian and pinched the soft flesh on her arm.

It's hard to imagine that such a physique could unleash power comparable to [Zhi Ge].

"Those low-level calamities may appear to be rushing around recklessly, but in reality, they are always being watched by high-level calamities, driven to attack the weak points of the defense line."

"They are not in a hurry to break through the defenses because they want to accumulate as much strength as possible to provide nourishment for the 'Sea of ​​Blood'."

"Nutrients? Brother Ye, what rank do you think [Asura] is at now?"

"Sixth Rank!"

Ye Chenyang said confidently:

"The Asura and the Blood Sea Sword Tomb are deeply bound together, so their speed is definitely not slow. Moreover, what they are executing now is probably its will."

The amount of "煞" required to go from the sixth to the seventh rank is considerable.

Moreover, [Shura] also allocated a considerable amount of "Sha" to forge the [Shura Sword], so the consumption was considerable.

That's why it wants a protracted war, a war that lasts a long time.

Once the accumulated power is sufficient to sweep humanity away in one fell swoop, then launch a full-scale war.

"So, a small loss isn't enough to start a full-scale war?"

Jiang Mian licked her lips.

In that case, she'd better start taking advantage of it.

A high-level calamity... I've never experienced one before.

With five cores and the Golden Crow sharing the power, it shouldn't be a waste.

Seeing Ye Chenyang nod, she couldn't help but get excited.

"Alright, I'll try tomorrow and see if I can sneak one or two in."

She loved to do petty theft... no, to take advantage of others' misfortunes.

……

Meanwhile, in a courtyard not far from the guesthouse.

Zhao Niugao had just returned from the command post when he noticed something was wrong as soon as he entered.

"Who?!"

To be able to deceive the perception of a seventh-level Awakened, the other party must be at least of the same level as him!

"Don't be nervous, General Zhao, I mean no harm."

The lights clicked on, and a gloomy-looking young man stood in the center of the living room.

Seeing this, Zhao Niugao frowned slightly.

It's not that I don't recognize them, but rather that I'm very familiar with them.

It can be said that almost every seventh-level awakened person here knows the Yu family.

After all, one of their current superiors, that "Like Flowing Water," is a member of the Yu family.

Of course, that's not the case now.

The Yu family and the Yun family joined forces, with the Yun family being the main family, forming a large family with five seventh-rank members.

In terms of the number of high-level awakened individuals alone, they probably can't even compare to some established families.

"Yu Zhengmo? It's so late, is something the matter?"

Zhao Niugao didn't want to provoke the other party, but his tone was still very aggressive.

After a long day, a stranger comes into your house and acts like a ghost. How can you tolerate that?

He was also a seventh-level Awakened One; how could he tolerate such insolence from the other party?

"General Zhao, please forgive me for disturbing you so late at night."

Yu Zhengmo had a faint smile on his face.

But for some reason, Zhao Niugao always felt that there was something twisted about it.

But the "wind" around the opponent is indeed an elemental ability, so it can't be a calamity in disguise, right?

"Speak your mind."

Yu Zhengmo didn't mince words and stated frankly:

"General Zhao, what is your opinion of that Inspector Jiang?"

Zhao Niugao's eyes sharpened.

"Why are you asking about her?"

"No, no, no."

Yu Zhengmo corrected:

"I'm not asking for information about her; I'd like to hear your opinion."

Zhao Niugao remained silent.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a deep voice:

"It was my Zhao family that was in the wrong first, and she was just following the rules. I have nothing to say."

"General Zhao."

Yu Zhengmo's voice became somewhat light and airy, carrying a strange allure.

"You risked your life on the battlefield, but your family was condemned by a damned calamity and killed without warning."

"Are you really... not bothered at all?"
