Chapter 829: The End of the Moon City (4)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Super Brain, solve it befo r….e too…la…”
The poison took effect too quickly. It was obvious that it was a poison made of compound gas. Zhao Yu did not have time to give orders and lost his mind.
“Roar—!”
With a low growl, Zhao Yu pounced on Qian Ying Ying.
At this moment, Qian Ying Ying’s eyes were also slightly red. There was a tenderness in her eyes as if she wanted to melt Zhao Yu.
The two of them hug each other.
“Have you heard of the Crippled Symbol Art?”
As he indulged himself, Zhao Yu seemed to hear Qian Ying Ying’s voice.
A sliver of rationality surfaced, but he realized the woman in front of him, like himself, had eyes full of pa.s.sion—how could she produce such a calm voice?!
“Defense Symbol Art can enhance your survival ability. In exchange, spare Qian Duo Duo and the Qian family…”
This time, Zhao Yu clearly heard it; it was Qian Ying Ying’s inner voice.
Though her body was cooperating with him, her soul remained extremely calm, indifferent, and was making a deal.
Defense Symbol Art.-
Just the thought of it brought the mysteries of the Defense Symbol Art to Zhao Yu’s mind.
Beginner grants ten times the speed…
Major Achievement can achieve the ultimate speed in the world…
This is a secret art no less than the Void Art.
The last shred of Zhao Yu’s rationality told him he must obtain this Defense Symbol Art.
In a daze, he seemed to hear a special sound.
Agreement reached…
“Mom…”
“Mommy—!”
He didn’t know how much time had pa.s.sed, but Zhao Yu vaguely heard a woman crying and calling out incessantly.
Zhao Yu’s consciousness gradually cleared, and he quickly recalled the last moment he lost his rationality.
As his body tensed and became alert, he discovered a naked woman lying in his arms.
Qian Ying Ying?!
A flood of memories came rushing back—alone, a man and a woman, body and soul united.
“She…” Zhao Yu frowned, then noticed multiple notifications, he quickly opened to check.
[Special Soul Contract detected…]
[Spend one million technology points to decline the agreement?]
[Countdown: 10…]
[Agreement reached…]
[Agreement as follows: Defense Symbol Art in exchange for Zhao Yu sparing the Qian family, sparing Qian Duo Duo… Additional clause… Clause 99: Cannot use others or suggestive means to kill Qian Duo Duo…]
After reading the agreement, Zhao Yu was stunned.
He hadn’t expected that in their moment of pa.s.sion, Qian Ying Ying had signed an agreement with him.
The problem was, he hadn’t signed it.
A soul contract?!
Zhao Yu suddenly recalled the soul voice Qian Ying Ying had emitted at the beginning and immediately understood that this was a level higher than a conventional contract doc.u.ment.
It might have even been obtained from the State City or the Holy City Temple.
As for why Qian Ying Ying had such a thing, he didn’t know.
“Defense Symbol Art…”
Since the contract was already in effect, Zhao Yu didn’t dwell on it and instead began studying the Defense Symbol Art.
To his surprise, he did nothing; Qian Ying Ying transmitted the technique to him entirely, and he mastered the Defense Symbol Art.
[Realm: Advanced level of third tier]
[Cultivation technique: Extreme Rank Heaven Level (perfection)]
[Spirit Aperture: 79]
[Vitality: 115000]
[True Qi Amplification: Level Two (Double)]
[Void Symbol Art: Beginner (1/100) 10,000 Technology Points to increase 1 proficiency point.]
[Defense Symbol Art: Beginner (1/100) 100,000 Technology Points to increase 1 proficiency point.]
What surprised Zhao Yu even more was that the technology points required to increase the proficiency of the Defense Symbol Art had actually increased by ten times.
” Could it be that this Defense Symbol Art is even stronger than the Void
Symbol Art from the Crippled Symbol Art?!”
Soon, Zhao Yu dismissed this idea. Based on the performance of the Void
Symbol Art alone, it was not inferior to the Defense Symbol Art; it just displayed different characteristics.
“Perhaps, the Crippled Symbol Art is progressive. The first technique requires fewer tech points, and as you train more in the second and third techniques, the required tech points increase…”
Zhao Yu’s quick thinking had already grasped the key point and he was basically certain that this was the truth.
“You truly stop at nothing to achieve your goals…”
As he reviewed his situation, Zhao Yu was contemplating expressing his thoughts on Qian Ying Ying’s goal being achieved, but he was shocked to find that Qian Ying Ying had already pa.s.sed away.
“Dead?!”
After a scan by the super brain, Zhao Yu realized that Qian Ying Ying had been dead for over ten minutes.
Based on the timing, it happened precisely when he mastered the Defense Symbol Art.
Moreover, her cause of death was strange. It was neither natural death nor suicide; it seemed more like a sacrifice.
“Sacrifice for the Defense Symbol Art?!”
Zhao Yu quickly understood that his ease in learning the Defense Symbol Art might be related to Qian Ying Ying’s sacrifice.
So, did she use the Defense Symbol Art and her own life to make this trade with him?!
Zhao Yu was a bit shocked, not expecting that Qian Ying Ying would be willing to sacrifice herself for the Qian family and for her daughter.
Since Qian Ying Ying mastered the Defense Symbol Art, why didn’t she pa.s.s this secret on to her clan?
And she didn’t even try to resist him?!
What if she capable to kill him?!
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I will definitely kill you…”
In the distance, at the edge of the bamboo forest, Qian Duo Duo was tearfully shouting continuously, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at Zhao Yu.
Beside her stood Qian Ying Ying’s maid, Qian Qi.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Qian Duo Duo would not have found this place, but ultimately, Qian Qi could not bear for the mother and daughter to not see each other one last time, so she brought Qian Duo Duo here.
