Excessive ferocity due to caution

The vast darkness in Zhao Yi's spiritual world was dispelled by the sound of reading aloud from the Analects!

In the past, he needed to rely on the power of his darkest personality to slowly devour the darkness. But now, Zhao Yi saw a great sun appear in the sky above his spiritual world. It emitted dazzling light, and its radiant rays illuminated this vast and turbid land!

At this moment, the two women in Zhao Yi's spiritual world truly saw the full picture of this land.

It was so dilapidated it was shocking.

The mottled traces left in many places indicate that one or more extremely fierce battles once took place here!

They fought until the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, until Zhao Yi's mental world was almost completely destroyed!

The bronze-cast Bloodline Temple is rusted and weathered, with many parts in ruins.

Zhao Yi stood quietly in the void, gazing at her spiritual world that had been completely illuminated. Some bittersweet, distant memories, too difficult to trace, gradually surfaced in her mind...

"Fourth body..."

Zhao Yi's eyes grew even brighter.

He once cultivated four bodies.

The first level of the eight arms allows one to cultivate an indestructible physical body.

The second stage of annihilation is achieved through the cultivation of a cycle of withering and flourishing, a continuous process of life.

The third level is colorless, cultivated to the point where one's sea of ​​consciousness penetrates heaven and earth.

The fourth level of chaos, through cultivation, leads to the blossoming of the three paths to the other shore.

He was seriously injured and fled from the Holy Mountain. On the way, he encountered a terrible ambush, and all four of his bodies were shattered in the battle!

The last body, Chaos, was locked in the depths of the Abyss and suppressed by 108 evil Buddhas!

He glanced at the darkest personality and remained silent.

Some memories are like books that have been sealed for many years, which are gradually being unveiled.

In fact, Zhao Yi does have a dark personality.

But not the guy who stands guard by the dry well.

Instead, it's...myself.

He is Zhao Yi's darkest personality!

Zhao Yi was able to take over this body because Zhao Yi's original personality died in battle.

The darkness that now stands by the dry well is merely a remnant of the original personality.

Its power has always been greater than its own because it inherited a wisp of the consciousness of the original personality that was annihilated after it died in battle.

Zhao Yi approached the Darkest One and stroked its face. At that moment, he roughly understood why the Darkest One personality only absorbed the power of praise from all the spirits on the old locust tree, while remaining tight-lipped about the endless resentment below the dry well.

Zhao Yi placed his palm on the face of the darkest personality. He was of one mind with the darkest personality and sensed the remaining sense of righteousness within him. He also roughly guessed why Zhao Yi's main personality had died in battle.

"What you didn't finish... I'll do it."

Zhao Yi said to the darkness.

"I have everything you have... and I'm even more ruthless than you."

"You're too idealistic; you'll never amount to anything."

Zhao Yi held his face in his hands and laughed as if he were a madman, then suddenly returned to normal.

Having left his mental world, Zhao asked the system:

"System, is it possible to cultivate the Analects now?"

System reply:

【Can. 】

[Your collection of fragments of the Analects is complete; the Analects has evolved into the Analects of Confucius.]

The Analects is a rare, red-tier cultivation method created by the sage Confucius. Practicing the Analects grants the supernatural powers of "What the Master Did Not Speak Of" and "Strange Powers and Supernatural Abilities."

[The Master did not speak: This refers to the power of thought, allowing one to communicate with all things in heaven and earth without speaking.]

[Supernatural Strength: Physical supernatural abilities, using supernatural strength to drive enemies insane.]

【Strength +1800】

[Note: After the great calamity, physical constitution can no longer be expressed as a numerical strength value, but the strength of the physical body still has a great impact on actual combat. Do not rely too much on the power of the rules and forget your own cultivation. (Tang Jiushijiu's message)]

After the Analects was synthesized, Zhao Yi gained an additional 1800 strength points!

With a 40% increase, that's 2520!

Now, without fusing with the Dark Personality, Zhao Yi already possesses a power of 4000!

Hard!

The fist has hardened!

Feeling the explosive power within his body, Zhao Yi let out a comfortable groan, then took out the Blue Poison he had brought from Z City and handed it to the system for identification.

"System, can you identify what kind of blood this is?"

After a period of detection and analysis, the system provided the following response:

The blood sample contained extremely high levels of impurities and was a mixture of two different types of blood.

[One type is the blood of Hellish monks. These monks come from the Church of the Skull and revere pain and punishment. Judging from the power of pain contained in this drop of blood, the owner of the blood is an extremely powerful Hellish monk, whose strength may have reached the peak of the Dominator realm... or even higher!]

Zhao Yi frowned upon hearing this:

"What about the other type of blood?"

The system said:

[Unable to analyze.]

[There is no sample of this blood in the system. Based on the investigation, the owner of this blood... is suspected to be from the previous era.]

Zhao Yi's heart stirred slightly.

He carefully stored the blood, which undoubtedly contained the secrets of the church, and possibly a large fish!

...

Entertainment company.

An elderly man with white hair stood on the balcony of the building, looking down at the bustling city below, and chatted with Feng Nan about the Infernal Trial.

"With so many branches of the entertainment company, wouldn't it be easy to find a few people to participate in the Infernal Trial?"

"Dozens of S-level actors and several Best Actor and Best Actress winners shouldn't be enough to make you so conflicted."

Feng Nan held a warm cup of coffee in his palm and spoke to himself.

The old man gripped the balcony railing tightly, his tone inscrutable.

"You know what kind of mess entertainment companies are these days."

"Best Actor? Best Actress?"

"You should understand how much water they have in their bodies."

"Since the old chairman left, the entertainment company has been getting worse day by day."

"Those guys started taking bribes like crazy, cheating on every movie, constantly draining the company's reserve points and storage. A group of people who didn't experience life or death or any danger, easily relying on the rare items in the entertainment company's mall to reach the near-death or even the deadliest realm. Compared to others who climbed up step by step on their own, what level can they possibly have?"

"Places like the Infernal Abyss are extremely dangerous to begin with. A mere powerful ferocious beast can't cause any trouble at all, let alone a ferocious beast like them that's only 'watery'?"

Sending someone like that is a complete waste of slots and resources.

Fengnan remained silent.

He didn't cheat, but others did, which led to the deaths of almost all the actors signed by his branch company.

No one is available.

Those who accepted bribes held shares in the entertainment company.

It's like having bloodsucking worms on your body, all of them sticking to your major arteries.

If we don't pull it out, it will die sooner or later.

If you pull it out, he'll die immediately.

The pressures faced by the elderly today are unprecedented.

The old chairman handed the entertainment company over to him, and it has been on a downward spiral ever since. Now, it is in dire straits, to the point where there is no way to ease the situation.

We can only wait to die.

This is why the elderly enjoy chatting with Fengnan.

Because Feng Nan is straightforward enough, he is one of the few people that the entertainment company can use.

If he still had people he could use, the old man would definitely have let Feng Nan become an actor. But now, apart from Feng Nan, he doesn't even have anyone he can truly trust.

After a short silence, the old man's phone rang.

He answered the phone.

The voice of Li Mao, the head of the Li family, came from the other end.

"Mr. Yan, it's been a long time."

P.S.: I'll be writing the second update soon!

Woo woo woo.

My CD is really bad lately!

Please be careful, everyone!
