Chapter 496: Chapter 496 - G.o.dly Twist
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Naturally, the medicine that Xin Yi was using wasn"t the Lesser Spring Water of Youth that Wei Xiao Bei gave her the last time. Rather, it was medicine made by mixing Inferior World Tree Sap with Chinese herbs.
Medicine like this was more than enough for a flesh wound.
After all, Wei Xiao Bei"s [Medicine] skill was at the Perfection level. Just adding in the Chinese herbs had increased the effectiveness of the Ordinary Inferior World Tree Sap by over ten percent.
As long as it wasn"t diluted with ten times the water like with the product being sold by Zhou Rong, it could still very quickly heal some external wounds.
Setting aside Zhi Xin Yi preparing herself for any possible danger, Wei Xiao Bei was looking at the two black brushes with satisfaction as they were slowly dragged into the rift in his palm.
The Life Altar might have a bit of trouble dealing with the Brush Spirit"s clones if this was the first time it was dealing with them. However, now that the Life Altar was more than familiar with their unique characteristics, it had an extremely easy time dealing with these clones that had been projected from the Dust World.
The two black ink brushes were dragged into the rift in just twenty seconds.
Some pretty terrifying crunching sounds then came from Wei Xiao Bei"s left arm, causing Xin Yi to look in his direction as well.
Wei Xiao Bei didn"t try to explain anything. His face turned dark. The aura of the Brush Spirit Laboratory Building had turned increasingly sinister after the two clones were caught by the Life Altar.
It was like a brewing volcano that had yet to erupt.
It felt like a certain catalyst was still missing.
It was a good thing that this brewing danger did not erupt yet. Otherwise, some more terrifying changes would happen to the building.
"Xin Yi, go out first and wait for me outside."
Wei Xiao Bei gave it some thought. To ensure Xin Yi"s safety, it was best to let her wait aside. Otherwise, he might not be able to save her in time if something unexpected happened.
Naturally, Xin Yi did not object to his instructions. She nodded and walked out of the building.
Wei Xiao Bei was finally relieved once her silhouette had vanished past the entrance of the building.
The sinister aura inside the building seemed to have become weaker with Xin Yi"s departure.
However, at that moment, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind the building.
He expanded the radius of his [Response Search] and found five students, three guys, and two girls. They were standing in front of the back entrance of the laboratory, their faces filled with excitement and a trace of nervousness.
"Senior Zhang said that holding a Brush Spirit Ceremony here is very effective. He said we could ask the Brush Spirit for power!"
"It"s not a hoax, is it? Why does this place feel so sinister and scary?"
"Don"t come in if you"re scared. Let"s go in, Xiao Fang."
"That"s right. Even I saw it. Senior Zhang became so strong. He can even bend a metal pipe now!"
The students plucked up their courage and pushed through the door as they talked amongst themselves, both the brave ones and the timid ones.
Wei Xiao Bei couldn"t help but put on a bitter smile. So this was the stupid mess that Zhang Tian Kun had left behind. It seemed like he had to clean it up for him.
Who knows how many students he had talked to about this thing.
If there were too many students, he wouldn"t know what to do. Wei Xiao Bei didn"t have the time to stay here and look out for the students.
"It is dangerous here. You guys had best leave first."
Wei Xiao Bei"s mentality was a bit different from before. He immediately asked the students to leave when he saw them enter.
Meanwhile, the students were utterly frightened when they saw a person standing in the abandoned laboratory building.
"Ghost! "A girl started screaming.
"Look carefully. I have a shadow. I"m not a ghost."
Wei Xiao Bei didn"t know if he should laugh or cry at these students" reactions. How did they mistake him for a ghost when it was so bright out?
Then, a G.o.dly twist came. Even Wei Xiao Bei didn"t expect it at all.
"Oh my goodness, so handsome. What a handsome guy!"
After recognizing that Wei Xiao Bei was a human rather than a ghost, and upon seeing Wei Xiao Bei"s appearance, the other girl started to flirtatiously call out.
Perhaps this was just how she spoke.
Wei Xiao Bei"s main Charm attribute was now at 20.84 points. This alone made him a national-cla.s.s handsome man in all aspects.
The worst part about it was his pa.s.sive skill- [Pan An"s Beauty]. It caused him to be incredibly attractive to other women and even had the chance of triggering [Thrown Fruit Fills Carriage].
Wei Xiao Bei had always been careful ever since he obtained this ability. There weren"t many girls who had seen him before this. Zhu Xin Yi might be slightly affected by the ability, but her Charm attribute was pretty high, allowing her to resist Wei Xiao Bei"s attractiveness.
However, the two girls in the building were only ordinary people. They couldn"t resist the effects of the skill at all. If this was a comic, they would be having hearts for eyes.
It wasn"t love, but it was enough for the two girls to have an incredibly positive impression of Wei Xiao Bei.
To put it simply, if Wei Xiao Bei waved at them, the two girls would probably jump at him.
However, men were always pursuing pretty and smart girls.
The three boys became incredibly envious when they saw the girls they liked taking a liking to this stranger. They wanted nothing better than to p.i.s.s on Wei Xiao Bei"s face.
Why are you so handsome, huh? Why did you seduce my girl, huh?
Either way, the three guys developed plenty of hostility toward Wei Xiao Bei.
The two girls had also been completely attracted by Wei Xiao Bei"s Charm. Have them leave? That was impossible.
Wei Xiao Bei frowned. As the five students entered the building, the rate at which the sinister aura was gathering had hastened.
It would probably erupt in the very next moment!
Wei Xiao Bei decided to cut the nonsense. He stepped forward and reached out with his hand, grabbing the two girls by the waist.
The internal monologue of the girls was something along the lines of, "Wow, my idol just hugged me. Could he have fallen for me? I"m so happy!" and a whole lot of other stuff.
Of course, Wei Xiao Bei wasn"t there to take advantage of them. He shook his head and the two girls flew toward the doors like two soccer b.a.l.l.s. At the same time, he shouted at Xin Yi, "Xin Yi, watch them! "
The two girls could not even react in time. They were caught by Xin Yi and remained stunned for a while before they started to cry.
However, they weren"t alone in their fate. Two more guys were thrown out of the building.
This time, Xin Yi wasn"t so kind as to catch the guys with her hands. She simply kicked twice lightly and negated their momentum, allowing them to fall gently to the ground.
In truth, they wouldn"t be too badly hurt even if Xin Yi didn"t stop them.
Wei Xiao Bei"s martial attainment was at the cosmic jing level and above, after all. It was only due to the urgency of the situation that he threw them as far as he could and became a little lax with his technique.
The worst that would happen to them would be some bruises. They wouldn"t even need to be hospitalized. A few days of rest was more than enough.
Just as Wei Xiao Bei reached for the last guy, he reacted and stepped away. Wei Xiao Bei quickly followed after him.
Wei Xiao Bei could easily catch the guy and throw him out of the front entrance of the building even if he were to retreat to the back entrance.
However, these few steps created a time lag.
That one-hundredths of a second caused Wei Xiao Bei to not make it in time and caused the boy to lose his last chance of escaping!
A ballpoint pen the boy had in his breast-pocket started swelling, instantly turning into a one-meter long black ink brush.
Wei Xiao Bei knew that it was too late when the brush appeared. He grabbed the air with his right hand and the Divine White Mist Great Spear appeared in his hand.
The next moment, he did something completely unexpected.
He stabbed the spear right through the student"s heart!
The black brush was a touch slower than the spear. It only turned to stab at the student"s neck after it had broken through the pocket.
It was simply too slow. By the time it stabbed the student"s neck, the Divine White Mist Great Spear had already absorbed the power from his body!
The spear would need at least ten seconds to absorb the power from a Three-Star creature like the Flame Giant.
However, the student was just an ordinary person.
Fear appeared on his face. His skin then started withering and his entire body turned into a 1.2-meter tall mummy in the blink of an eye.
Chaos descended upon those who weren"t decisive!
Wei Xiao Bei could not completely predict the next move of the black brush, but he had a faint instinct that this exceptionally large Brush Spirit clone would give him a hard time if the boy lived and it obtained him as its host.
Since he couldn"t save the boy, then he could at least stop him from being an accomplice of the Brush Spirit!
It was as simple as that.
The student had been turned into a dried corpse. As the Brush Spirit clone stabbed its neck, it simply snapped it in half. The mummified head then flew into the distance.
It was fortunate that the students outside the door couldn"t see what had transpired inside the building, or they probably wouldn"t even be able to remain standing.
Wei Xiao Bei held the spear in his right hand and knocked the Brush Spirit clone away, with the corpse still dangling by the spearhead.
The Brush Spirit clone was a formidable enemy as well. It vanished when it was knocked away and the very next moment, it appeared above Wei Xiao Bei"s head, its incredibly sharp tips stabbing at Wei Xiao Bei"s head!
"Good!"
Wei Xiao Bei knew that this Brush Spirit clone"s abilities were all extremely strange and unusual. He dared not let his guard down at all. [Response Search] was fully activated and all movement within four hundred meters was picked up by his mind.
