Chapter 27 Obsession
Su Luo stayed in the courtyard for four whole days to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. In order to increase the success rate, she even ate a petal of the Seven-Colored Lotus. Instantly, the spiritual energy in her body surged, and the originally blocked meridians were directly cleared by the massive spiritual energy, and then began to operate and take effect.
Finally, at nightfall on the fourth day, Su Luo opened her eyes with a "whoosh," having finally reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
After sitting for four days, her body was stiff. Su Luo quickly jumped out of bed, turned her neck, and felt around. She was sure that her body felt lighter than before, and she couldn't help but smile.
"The Seven-Colored Lotus is truly a treasure!"
Even a single petal has such a powerful effect; she'll definitely need it to level up in the future! Once we find an island, we must plant it and cherish it! This is a real goldmine!
Just as Su Luo made her plans, her stomach started growling. She quickly took out some food from her storage bag and ate a quick meal, wanting to finish fast, as there was something else she was looking forward to later.
Two quarters of an hour later, Su Luo sat down at the table and arranged all the things needed for drawing talismans before taking out the "Ancient Talismans" given to her by Chunhe Aweng.
Currently, the only offensive talismans she knows are the Thunderclap Talisman, the Ice Talisman, and the Explosion Talisman. These three talismans are very powerful, but their range is too wide and they can easily harm innocent people.
Since her cultivation level was insufficient, she could only make up for it with talismans, and coincidentally, the book contained the talismans she needed.
The moment the talisman book was opened, a powerful spiritual energy emanated from it, causing Su Luo to feel dizzy. However, compared to when she was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, she was able to hold her gaze for two or three minutes longer.
Su Luo shook her head, turned to the page she needed, and carefully read the complex and mysterious talisman diagram, trying to memorize the pattern within three minutes.
She became interested in the talisman called the Flame Burst Talisman when she casually flipped through the pages. This talisman was very powerful; it would burst into flames within a minute of touching the skin.
However, compared to its offensive capabilities, Su Luo valued its other functions even more. First, the Flame Burst Talisman has a range of less than ten kilometers, allowing it to accurately pinpoint targets without causing widespread damage; second, a single talisman can fire flames multiple times.
The higher the grade of the talisman, the more flames it emits and the longer it can be used.
This is perfect for use as a weapon!
Imagine: she just stands there, holding a light weapon in her hand, with fire blasts inside constantly firing at people – how incredibly cool is that!
Soon, Su Luo, clutching her dizzy head, looked up from the book. She put the book aside, picked up the most expensive diamond pen on the table, and began to draw the image in her mind onto the blue paper.
The Flame Burst Talisman is a high-level talisman. With each stroke, Su Luo could feel a faint stinging pain in her mind, and her spiritual energy poured out of her brush like crazy, but she still persevered.
She failed to draw the first three sheets. Just as she finished, the blue paper spontaneously combusted, almost burning the table.
"I don't believe it anymore!"
Su Luo gritted her teeth, fighting with increasing courage. Ignoring the sweat on her forehead and enduring the growing headache, she finally succeeded in drawing before exhaustion.
"It's done!"
Su Luo let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at the talismans on the table, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
Although this Fireball Talisman is only of medium grade, it's already quite impressive that she could draw it at her mid-Foundation Establishment level. That's all for tonight; she'll draw a few more after her spiritual energy recovers…
Thinking about it, Su Luo picked up the "Ancient Talismans" book to put it away, but because her hands were still trembling, she lost her grip and the book fell to the ground with a "thud".
When Su Luo bent down to pick it up, she noticed three strange and intricate patterns on the page facing her. What surprised her even more was that she didn't feel dizzy when she looked at these three patterns!
When she saw the names of the three talismans, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and she immediately picked up the book to read it carefully.
"Itching charm... Sleeping charm..."
Not long after, a girl's mischievous laughter echoed in the room, "Hehe... There are talismans like this? They're quite interesting~ Draw a few more to keep on hand, they might come in handy later!"
Still caught up in her excitement, Su Luo was completely unaware that danger was closing in on her.
Dozens of kilometers away from Qiang City, in the mountains and forests, the young man in black gripped his sword tightly, leaned against a tree, and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.
His chest heaved, his body was covered in blood, and the white bone of his shoulder was exposed. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and fell into the deep wounds. Blood kept gushing out and soaking his black clothes. He looked as if he would die at any moment.
Even though he was injured like this, the boy's face remained expressionless, and he didn't even utter a painful groan. He simply closed his eyes and silently observed Su Luo's every move through the bird's eyes.
For some time now, he has been passing the time by doing this almost every day, trying to uncover all the secrets of the girl by observing Su Luo.
He had nothing from birth; there was nothing in this world that could warm his heart or soften his soul; no one treated him kindly; he had nothing! His path of growth was filled only with shame and darkness.
The world was full of malice towards him, so he would repay the world with even more malice! So after leaving that hellish place, he vowed to drag everyone in this world to their deaths!
But then, Su Luo suddenly began to change. She did so many things that he didn't understand, which made him curious enough to want to investigate and analyze her.
She was strange; every move she made was unexpected. She was both bold and timid, both cunning and kind, so contradictory that he couldn't help but observe her every day through the eyes of the spirit-winged bird. He didn't know when, but the more he saw the girl's vibrant smiles and gestures, the more confused he became, and the stronger his destructive urges grew.
This desire to destroy her grew stronger each day, even flashing through his mind when he fought the patriarch of the Tianyi Sect. An indescribable resentment made him stop in time.
Why is it that, while he's still mired in the mire of the past and seeking revenge, Su Luo can walk away from the past, leave the Tianyi Sect, and happily travel the world?! He's unwilling! Unwilling to be left behind, unwilling to be inferior to Su Luo!
So he snapped out of his madness, dragged his injured body away from Tianyi Sect, and followed the trail to find Su Luo, with only one thought in his mind.
He absolutely had to see Su Luo...
After a long while, the boy opened his eyes, revealing a pair of narrow, dark eyes. Those deep red eyes seemed to be filled with ominous blood, sending chills down one's spine.
He chewed on the two characters "Su Luo" in his mouth.
Behind the boy, not far away, lay the remains of people and monsters. Almost none of the remains were intact; they were covered with horrifying sword wounds, and gushing blood stretched out like a giant, bloody hand...
