Chapter 169 Pupil Skills: X-ray Vision and Immobilization

It hurts! It really hurts!

Luo Qingfeng covered his eyes and squatted on the ground, feeling like he was about to go blind.

It felt as if two sharp knives were constantly stabbing at me.

The pain first spread to my brain, and then quickly spread throughout my body.

In the sea of ​​the capital, all eight stars began to twinkle.

At the same time, powerful forces rose from the sea of ​​qi and rushed towards the aching eyes.

Amazingly, the pain in my eyes suddenly disappeared the next second.

A cool breeze rushed into my eyes.

The burning sensation began to subside quickly.

After a few breaths, everything returned to normal.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then slowly removed his hands from his eyes, and then slowly opened his eyes, which were slightly cool.

An unfamiliar power was brewing in his pupils.

He looked at the terrified girl in front of him, his dark pupils suddenly turning even darker, with a ghostly light flickering within, like a deep and mysterious night sky.

He clearly felt two strange energies shoot out along his gaze and land on the girl in front of him.

The girl, tears still clinging to her eyes, suddenly froze, standing there motionless as if petrified, her eyes no longer blinking.

A cold wind was blowing through the alley, and the girl's hair was still flying in the air.

However, at that moment, those few strands of hair suddenly froze, motionless.

It was as if some unfamiliar force had immobilized him, isolating him from everything outside.

But this process lasted only a moment.

A moment later, the girl was able to move again.

She seemed unaware of what had just happened, and with tears welling up in her eyes, she asked, "You...how are you?"

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment before rubbing his eyes and saying, "I'm fine, it's just... my eyes hurt a little, but they're much better now."

He recounted everything that had just happened and what he had seen in detail.

Actually, he already had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure yet.

Upon hearing this, Nightingale quickly wiped away her tears, her face flushing with excitement: "A natural talent! It must be a natural talent!"

Just as Luo Qingfeng was about to speak, several lines of text suddenly appeared in his mind.

The first two lines contain familiar data.

[Process: Seven]

[Eight-Star Realm of Creation, Progress: Ninety-Six]

The next few lines are actually innate supernatural abilities!

Innate Divine Ability: Ghostly Eyes

【Ghost Eyes: Can see through objects, find weaknesses, immobilize, shock souls, intimidate, bewitch, break formations, dispel curses, melt, ranked ninth on the supernatural power list】

[Perspective: Level 1]

[Immobilization: Level 1]

"His innate supernatural ability isn't [X-ray vision], but [Ghost Eye]! So many skills, and ranked ninth?"

Upon seeing these words, Luo Qingfeng froze on the spot, somewhat incredulous.

He quickly realized what was happening.

The data that appears in your mind cannot be false!

In other words, he really does possess such a talent and supernatural power!

He already knew about the [X-ray vision] skill, and the skill that had just frozen Nightingale in place was the [Immobilization] skill!

My innate supernatural abilities have been upgraded!

A new skill, [Immobilize], has been added!

Although it is only a single breath, it is extremely precious to any cultivator, and often it can even determine one's own life or the life or death of the other party!

"Luo Qingfeng, what's wrong?"

Seeing his constantly changing expression, Nightingale thought something was wrong with his health and quickly grabbed his arm to ask.

Luo Qingfeng snapped out of his daze and said excitedly, "Sister Nightingale, it is indeed a natural talent! But it's not a newly awakened one; rather, it's a natural talent that was awakened before, and suddenly a new skill has appeared."

He quickly added, "Also, my previous innate ability was called [Ghost Eye], not [Clairvoyance]."

He can finally clear his name!

His innate supernatural ability ranks ninth among all innate supernatural abilities, and his reputation is renowned. It is by no means the kind of vulgar "clairvoyance"!

"【X-ray vision】 is just one of the skills; the 【immobilize】 skill we just used is a newly introduced skill."

He then explained.

Nightingale listened, somewhat puzzled: "【Phantom Eyes】? How come I've never heard of this innate ability?"

Luo Qingfeng said with some pride, "That's because it's too powerful. I doubt any cultivator in the Demon Suppression Academy has awakened it yet."

Nightingale seemed a little skeptical, but was still happy for him: "That's great! The [Immobilize] skill should be very useful. It will definitely give you a boost in the new disciple competition."

Luo Qingfeng nodded and looked into his mind again.

Those lines of data had disappeared, and a strange yet familiar power had appeared within his body.

He only needs to activate it, and it will soon reach his eyes.

He decided to give it another try.

"Nightingale, stand still, I'll try again. Oh, and take a few steps back, and don't look at me."

Upon hearing this, the nightingale immediately took a few steps back and looked away.

Luo Qingfeng immediately activated that power and brought it to his eyes.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, his eyes suddenly hurt, and the force was immediately blocked, failing to shoot out successfully, and suddenly retreated.

Luo Qingfeng immediately stopped practicing, realizing what was happening.

"No, it can only be used once within a short period of time."

Hearing this, Nightingale walked over and said, "I think so too. Such powerful skills consume a great deal of star power and divine sense, so it's impossible to use them all the time. Many innate divine abilities can only be used once in a short period of time, or even once a day or several days. For example, the [Healing] technique, which can almost bring the dead back to life, can only be used once a month, and each time it is used, it will exhaust star power and leave one extremely exhausted."

Luo Qingfeng sensed the power within his body and said, "It should be able to upgrade again. If it upgrades again, the time it takes to use it again will probably be shorter, and its power will also become greater."

Nightingale said, "Most innate abilities are like this. Don't be complacent or slack off. You must continue to work hard."

Luo Qingfeng nodded.

The two returned home, went into the kitchen, and began to cook.

Aya was chopping wood outside, still wearing that thin, patched black dress, seemingly unaffected by the cold.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at it and whispered, "Sister Nightingale, when you have time, go buy some new clothes for Aya."

Nightingale glanced at the slender figure outside the window and said, "I bought it for her, but she won't wear it. She only likes wearing this one."

Luo Qingfeng asked in confusion, "Why?"

Nightingale sighed softly and whispered, "Grandma said that the patches on it were sewn on by Mother."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly realized, and then cautiously asked, "Sister Nightingale, I haven't asked about you and Aya's parents yet, what about them...?"

Nightingale shook her head slightly, her head lowered, making her expression unreadable. "I don't know either. Neither A-Ya nor I have ever seen them, and Grandma won't tell us. All I know is that Father was a gambler and owed a lot of money. Mother ran away, and Father ran away too..."

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to ask any more questions and gently comforted her, "It's okay, you still have Grandma, and you still have me."

Nightingale nodded: "Yes, having you all is enough."

"Snapped!"

Outside, Aya was still chopping wood.

As night fell, large snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the temperature suddenly dropped even lower.

After dinner.

Luo Qingfeng went directly to another room next door, sat cross-legged by the window, and began to cultivate.

In order not to disturb the two of them, Grandma and Aya both chose the room closest to the backyard.

The room where Luo Qingfeng cultivates has no bed or furniture; it was specially prepared for cultivation.

In the stillness of the night.

Suddenly, the sound of sword practice came from the backyard.

Aya is practicing her sword.

In another room, Nightingale also sat cross-legged on the bed and began her cultivation.

She awakened a new bloodline, and her cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds.

She felt she was about to break through again.

The night passed quickly.

At daybreak, Luo Qingfeng finished his practice and checked the data in his mind.

[Process: Seven]

[Eight-Star Realm of Creation, Progress: Ninety-Six]

It didn't move!

After a night of breathing exercises, neither of the two sets of data showed an increase whatsoever!

Upon seeing this result, Luo Qingfeng was dumbfounded.

At the same time, my heart sank.

If things continue like this, he will have no hope of breaking through before the new disciple competition.

Why is it so slow?

Could it be that he advanced too many levels before, and now that he's at the final stage, his cultivation speed has slowed down?

Or perhaps it's because I upgraded my innate divine power skill last night?

I finished breakfast with a heavy heart.

After they went outside, Nightingale noticed he didn't look well and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Luo Qingfeng pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking about something."

The nightingale was preoccupied with its own affairs and didn't ask any further questions.

The two parted ways at the gate.

Luo Qingfeng entered the gate and went straight to the library.

Grandma Ning leaned against the wall, still intently reading the thick book she had been reading before.

Luo Qingfeng greeted them and prepared to go upstairs.

At this moment, Granny Ning muttered coldly, "Their names are only one character different! They really are all lecherous! And their fetishes are exactly the same—they both like young girls' feet!"

Curious, Luo Qingfeng turned and asked, "Who is Grandma talking about?"

Grandma Ning sneered three times, then continued reading her book, ignoring him.

Luo Qingfeng was puzzled, but he didn't dare to disturb her any further and immediately went upstairs.

When they arrived on the sixth floor, Bai Ruofei was standing in front of the bookshelf arranging books. Her graceful figure, with her tiptoes, chin up, and delicate hand raised, possessed a different kind of allure.

Beneath the pure white skirt, a pair of small feet clad in white socks appeared even more slender and delicate when they stood on tiptoe.

Its towering, majestic breasts pressed proudly and domineeringly against the bookshelf.

Luo Qingfeng had no interest in appreciating it. After glancing at it, he walked over and said, "Senior Bai, I have a few questions I would like to ask you."

Bai Ruofei put the books down, turned her head, looked into his eyes, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Didn't you sleep with Nightingale last night?"

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Bai Ruofei didn't answer. She picked up a book, walked to the window, sat down at the table, and then said calmly, "Tell me your question first."

Luo Qingfeng quickly went over and said, "Senior, I discovered last night that my innate ability is not [X-ray vision], but [Ghost Eyes]."

Bai Ruofei's eyes flickered slightly, but she remained calmly turning the pages of her book, asking, "How did you know?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Anyway, I know, and I also know several skills of this innate ability. In addition to the skill of [Clairvoyance], I also awakened the skill of [Immobilization] last night."

"Frozen in place?"

Bai Ruofei raised her head, looked at him, and after a moment of silence, said, "It is indeed a good skill."

Luo Qingfeng protested, "So, when Senior Bai said that my talent and supernatural abilities were vulgar, he was actually misunderstanding me."

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "No need to make excuses."

Luo Qingfeng paused, remembering that he still had important matters to discuss, and did not continue arguing. He could only say, "Whatever Senior says, then so be it. I don't really care anyway."

He then asked, "Senior, my cultivation speed has suddenly slowed down recently. I cultivated all night last night, but there was almost no effect or progress. Does Senior know what's going on?"

Bai Ruofei pondered for a moment, then asked, "When cultivating, can one feel the stellar energy entering the body?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "I can feel it, and I can feel it very clearly. After the star power enters the body, it is also smoothly refined and stored in the dantian."

Bai Ruofei pondered for a moment, then looked at him again: "How do you know that you haven't seen any results or progress?"

Unable to answer, Luo Qingfeng could only say, "I can feel it, after all, I'm about to advance."

Bai Ruofei paused for a moment, then looked at him and said, "You're advancing again?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Yes, so I can clearly feel the effects and progress of my daily cultivation."

Bai Ruofei stared at him blankly, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Then tonight..."

Luo Qingfeng quickly asked, "How about tonight?"

Bai Ruofei didn't continue speaking. She gave him another deep look and said calmly, "It's nothing. Go back to your cultivation. Come over tonight, and I'll tell you more."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng was immediately itching to tell him: "Senior, can't you tell me now?"

Bai Ruofei ignored him and lowered her head to read her book.

Helpless, Luo Qingfeng glanced at her again and had no choice but to take his leave.

Upon reaching the first floor, they overheard Granny Ning angrily muttering to herself, "That disgusting brat! He actually stole and bought 'Illustrations of Jade Feet'! What a pervert!"

Luo Qingfeng paused, turned around, and asked, "Grandma, what is 'Jade Feet Illustrations'?"

"roll."

Grandma Ning didn't even look up, and seemed to find him very disgusting.

Luo Qingfeng was even more puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and left with a feeling of doubt.

They arrived at a training ground.

He happened to see Lin Yun walking towards him from a nearby path, so he had no choice but to stop and greet him with a cupped hand.

Lin Yun also cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Luo is working so hard! Are you about to advance again?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "How can I compare to Senior Brother Lin?"

As the two were exchanging pleasantries, Liang Feng and the other disciples emerged from the woods, smiling and saying, "Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Luo are both here."

The other disciples also greeted Lin Yun respectfully.

Reaching the ninth level of the Heavenly Opening Realm means being a definite candidate for the advanced class, or even the genius class. They will definitely be the disciples that the academy focuses on cultivating and taking care of in the future.

If you maintain good relations now, it will naturally benefit you in the future.

Luo Qingfeng wasted no time. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the others, he found a stone chamber, went inside, and began cultivating.

He pretended not to hear the disciples gossiping about him behind his back.

"Senior Brother Luo rarely talks to us. He doesn't go to gatherings or meals either. He seems a bit aloof."

Yang Mei sneered, "They probably advanced to the Seventh Star of the Heavenly Realm and look down on us now."

Liang Feng quickly replied, "No way, Senior Brother Luo isn't that kind of person."

After talking for a while, the group dispersed and each found a place to cultivate.

With the new disciples' competition drawing ever closer, everyone was eager to prove themselves.

If we can get a good ranking and some rewards, that would be the best. Even if we don't get a good ranking, we can still show our faces in front of the various high-ranking people in the institute and make some impressions, which may be helpful in the future.

Therefore, everyone put in their best effort in their training and dared not slack off in the slightest.

"Whoosh!"

In the afternoon, Luo Qingfeng found a small courtyard and began practicing his swordsmanship.

To compete on stage, one needs not only cultivation level, but also combat skills and experience.

at the same time.

The new disciples of the South Academy are also diligently cultivating without stopping for a moment.

Sun Changshan, the steward who once tried his best to prevent Luo Qingfeng from joining the South Academy, is now personally instructing a young man in swordsmanship.

The young man was his nephew, named Sun Yu, who was at the ninth level of the Opening Heaven Realm.

Meanwhile, the Yuan family was also teaching two other young men.

One of them was named Yuan Xiao, a distant relative of the Yuan family, whose cultivation level was the seventh star of the Opening Heaven Realm.

One of them was named Yuan Zhiyuan, Yuan Tong's nephew, and his cultivation level was at the eighth level of the Open Heaven Realm.

The Yuan family has produced two talented new disciples this time, which makes the Yuan family patriarch very happy. He personally instructed Yuan Tong to take good care of the two and make sure they bring glory to the Yuan family in the new disciple competition.

Having lost his son, Yuan Tong naturally devoted all his energy to them and placed high hopes on them.
