After its birth, the Snake Shadow quickly devoured the eggshell, its power surging rapidly.
For an outstanding species, as long as the soul of the Spirit Tamer keeps pace, breaking through the juvenile stage is as simple as eating or drinking.
This feeling was so intense that Bao Butong, who had never raised an outstanding species before, trembled with excitement.
“An outstanding species Spirit… Finally, I have one too! Not just one…”
Thinking of this, his face hardened as he looked at his wrist.
In a flicker of spiritual light, a gray mist appeared, within which floated a black spherical Spirit with a pair of innocent eyes gazing at him.
This was the culprit that had brought him to this plight—the Spirit from the Divine Netherworld, Ghost Tianji!
Of course, Bao Butong had no idea about the true identity of this Spirit at the time.
“Even if it really is a Spirit from the Divine Netherworld, if it has reached the Soldier class but still lacks offensive capability, what use is it?”
Nonetheless, a lingering sense of reluctance stirred within him.
But soon, his eyes hardened as he thought of the white-robed man, and he made up his mind decisively, “Even if it has some unique traits… the Spirit egg is already lost. What use is it now?”
With this thought, he finally resolved, “Contract… Dissolve!!!”
Puff!!!
Even though the contract was voluntarily dissolved, and thus the damage to the Spirit Tamer was relatively minor, Bao Butong still grunted in pain, two streams of blood flowing from his nose.
“Goojoo! Goojoo!”
Instantly becoming a wild Spirit, Ghost Tianji was overwhelmed with confusion and helplessness, emitting waves of isolation and despair.
“Hehe… Once I recover, I’ll crush you!”
Bao Butong thought bitterly, grabbing the bottle containing the colorful jellyfish liquid and drinking it all at once.
“Huh? No… Why do I feel absolutely nothing in my soul… This… is fake!”
His expression changed abruptly.
A vague sense of dread and the feeling of being tricked immediately enveloped him, making every pore on his body tremble.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, a black shadow rushed in at lightning speed. With a wave of his hand, the light of a soul contract fell upon Ghost Tianji, who was floating in midair.
“Goojoo! Goojoo!”
Previously powerless, Ghost Tianji was now facing Wu Ming’s terrifying soul. It practically surrendered instantly, transforming into a streak of light that Wu Ming captured into a sealing crystal.
“Got it!”
An overwhelming joy suddenly filled Wu Ming’s heart, causing him to burst into laughter.
A powerful soul aura erupted outward, making Bao Butong’s face change drastically: “General class!!! You’re not that spoiled young master at all!”
“Bao Butong, I really have to thank you!”
Wu Ming turned to face him. “Without your cooperation, how could I have captured Ghost Tianji so easily?”
“Ghost Tianji?”
Bao Butong’s face turned pale like a corpse. “Is that its name? I’ve possessed it all this time, yet I still don’t know its purpose…”
“You don’t know many things…”
Wu Ming smiled slightly, and his tone suddenly changed. This aura immediately made Bao Butong realize something, and he cried out in horror: “You… you were that white-clothed figure too!!! So… all of this was just for it?”
“That’s right. Knowing this, you can now die in peace, right?”
Wu Ming suddenly moved forward and pointed a finger.
A flash of horror appeared in Bao Butong’s eyes, but his power was already extremely low to begin with. How could he possibly be a match for Wu Ming now?
Bang!
Thus, he fell backward and died instantly.
Even though he would later become the “King of Assassins,” at this moment, he was no stronger than an ordinary person.
“Rest in peace…”
Wu Ming closed his eyes slightly.
This man was the rising champion of the Fire Continent, an important figure in the coming era of chaos. His death at Wu Ming’s hands naturally affected the grand design of fate.
No doubt, his true self was already manipulating the Main Temple to gain benefits.
“Immediately fuse the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star!”
After killing this champion and altering history, a sense of urgency immediately arose within Wu Ming, a keen intuition from his refined Earth Immortal soul.
“Is a high-level diviner trying to track me down? Or… has fate itself noticed me?”
Wu Ming sneered coldly, as a star-marked Spirit egg appeared in his hand—the location of the Divine Tianji Spirit. He then summoned Ghost Tianji.
“Chirp! Chirp!”
Upon seeing this Spirit egg, Ghost Tianji became increasingly excited, drifting over and emitting a large cloud of black mist that directly enveloped the egg.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of the shell breaking echoed, and golden light emerged, intertwining with the black mist, each occupying half the space.
Who knew how long passed before the two lights suddenly condensed and seemed to fuse together, forming a dark golden cocoon.
“The fusion of Spirits that Jia Kongming never got to witness in his lifetime…”
Wu Ming’s face showed excitement. “Come out now! Divine and Ghost Tianji Star!!!”
Boom!
The cocoon shattered, and a powerful aura surged into the sky, instantly breaking through the Soldier class and continuing to ascend!
Soldier-Middle Rank!
Soldier-High Rank!
Soldier-Peak Rank!
…
After fusing Divine Tianji and Ghost Tianji, the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star was born and immediately broke through the threshold, even advancing to the peak of the General class!
“Sure enough… the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star is already at the General level upon birth…”
Wu Ming’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the emerging Spirit.
It was hidden within thick dark golden clouds, its true form being a pair of masks—one black, solemn and imposing, and the other white, wearing a smile. This was the true appearance of the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star!
“Eye of Observation!”
Wu Ming immediately used his ability to examine the data of the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star:
[Divine and Ghost Tianji Star (Divine Netherworld)]
[Racial Rank: ???]
[Racial Bonus: ???]
[Attributes: ???]
[Talent: Gemini]
[Stage: General-Peak]
[Abilities: Concealment, Detection Evasion, Divination Avoidance, Fate Judgment]
[Characteristic: Spirit Tamer’s Luck (+2)]
[Status: Healthy]
…
“Concealment? Detection Evasion?”
With a wave of Wu Ming’s hand, the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star cackled, wrapping itself in dark golden clouds.
Then, he suddenly found himself completely vanished from the world.
“So this must be the secret weapon of the future ‘King of Assassins’—instant disappearance, undetectable by any means, making assassination truly terrifying across the world!”
Wu Ming mused, then turned his attention to Divination Avoidance.
The information exchange through the Eye of Observation immediately clarified the ability for him.
“From today onwards… I won’t appear in any divination or prophecy? This ability… is essentially hiding my existence from the entire world’s fate, or the grand design of destiny!”
Just as the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star appeared, the previous sense of urgency vanished completely, a feeling of safety that made Wu Ming’s heart leap with joy.
Blocking all divinations and predictions had been his goal this time.
Now, he had exceeded expectations—how could he not be delighted?
“With this, I’ll face far fewer restrictions in the future…”
Although he understood the general trends of the future, Wu Ming had previously refrained from interfering too much, fearing the constraints of divinations and prophecies.
After all, some treasures were already under surveillance or had inheritances in place.
If he intervened, Royal or King-class Spirit Tamers would immediately notice, then seek out diviners or Spirits with prophetic abilities to track him down, leading to his certain doom.
But now, he had nothing to fear!
“What about this—Fate Judgment?”
Wu Ming looked at the final ability: “This ability… it seems Bao Butong, the ‘King of Assassins,’ never revealed it, or deliberately kept it hidden?”
“Fate Judgment—Two effects!
Effect One: Fate! Divines a certain matter for the Spirit Tamer, providing only a yes or no answer. This ability has a cooldown of three days!
Effect Two: Judgment! Performs a judgment on an opposing Spirit Tamer, with a 50% success rate. On success, imposes a Luck (-2) debuff on the target. On failure, no effect.”
“Wow…”
Wu Ming was utterly amazed: “Although the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star lacks offensive capabilities, its supportive abilities are superior even to those of a Gold-class Spirit…”
“No wonder even when Bao Butong ascended to King, he still cherished it like a treasure…”
Wu Ming pondered slightly: “Divine and Ghost Tianji Star, activate Fate Judgment. I want to know the situation regarding the auction house in Zhongzhou City this time…”
“Woo… woo…”
The dark golden clouds surged, rippling with layers of starlight, then the black side of the Divine and Ghost Tianji Star faced Wu Ming, emitting a woeful cry.
“Just as expected… it’s quite vague. It only tells me that the other party has ill intentions?”
Wu Ming chuckled lightly: “Well then… I’ll just have to go and see for myself!”
…
Zhongzhou City.
“Hello, esteemed guest. Here is your auction proceeds. After deducting the handling fee, you have 13 million Spirit Coins! As per your request, they have all been converted into the highest denomination crystal cards!”
The clerk behind the counter almost trembled as he presented a crystal box.
Inside the box were stacks of crystal cards—refined essence of Spirit Coins, directly usable for forging artifacts or setting up formations, priceless treasures.
“Hmm?”
Wu Ming casually accepted the box, then sneered coldly, tucking the large stack of crystal cards into his robe while carelessly discarding the crystal box.
“Spirit Coin crystal cards are made of condensed energy, making them impossible to tamper with. So they placed a tracking mark inside the crystal box, huh?”
He walked out of the auction house, observing the seemingly tense atmosphere around him, and smirked.
A fortune exceeding ten million Spirit Coins was enough to make even a Marshal-class Spirit Tamer envious enough to act!
Although Zhongzhou City claimed to protect commerce, in situations like this, where could one find absolute fairness?
This was evident from the fact that the patrolling Light Griffon Knights and Falcon Spirit Tamers in the sky had mysteriously disappeared!
“Sure enough… All rules are false. Only one’s own power is real…”
As the Marshal-class Spirit Tamers closed in like hungry wolves, Wu Ming smiled and waved a greeting: “Goodbye!”
Puff!
In an instant, he vanished right in front of everyone.
