Chapter 226: Borrowed by Skill (5200)_2
Casio and the others weren’t acting out of sudden goodwill, but because of an experint on Secret Soul. Experintation necessitated a fully intact subject to eliminate variables and provide a consistent control for comparison.
Next, they sat down for breakfast brought by Iri.
Nothing special, but the taste wasn’t bad.
Just as they were cleaning up the table, they heard knocks at the door. A familiar vehent rhythm, a familiar voice.
“Is goddamn Dusk here? Open the door!”
Thirty seconds later.
“I rember, didn’t I borrow the loan from The Grim Reaper for a period of twenty days?” Casio calmly asked the visitor.
“Yes…yes it is.”
The curly-haired man answered hesitantly.
“Then why are you seeking repaynt two or three days early? That’s not according to the rules. Don’t disrupt the market order, okay?”
Casio appeared affable and smiled.
“Under… understood.”
“Good, knowing your mistakes and correcting them is a good thing. However, as compensation, I want you to do sothing for , okay?”
Casio looked at him with earnest eyes.
Looking at Casio’s eyes, the curly-haired man rolled his eyes.
“Do you agree?”
“Since you’re not answering, I’ll take that as a yes.”
Casio moved his arm contentedly and put down the curly-haired man hanging in mid-air. The strong hand that was holding his neck like an iron clamp relaxed, and the man fell down onto the ground.
There was a clear black palm print on his neck.
He was clutching his neck and panting heavily.
Casio looked expressionlessly at Duong who was amused by the scene: “How was that? Pretty convincing by reasoning, right?”
While munching on nuts, Duong sneered with disdain.
“Heh, I can reason like that, too.”
“Then… how about a match?” Casio raised his eyebrow; he was very interested in Duong’s Three-eyed Mad Lion Style’s Heart-eye Secret Technique.
For this collaboration with the Northern Mystery Martial World, Casio had made so requests. He didn’t want to be greedy. Although Casio had a strong background, in front of other fighters representing various Secret Martial Schools, he thought it would be better to keep a low profile. So, Casio simply requested to learn skills like Heart-eye Secret Technique, Breathing Recovery, and Hard Qigong, rather than directly asking for the inherited secret martial arts.
Such a request was definitely within a reasonable range.
Casio believed that as long as he proved the powerful effects of the Secret Soul’s power, the Northern Mystery Martial World wouldn’t be so stingy as to refuse imparting these external techniques, as there were larger interests at stake. Even if they wanted to burn the bridge after crossing the river, it would only be valid after they conquered Black Rain Villa. And by that ti, Casio would have already gotten away.
On the sofa, Duong stopped munching on his nuts.
He had been running around for a while, and hadn’t fought anyone in a long ti. He was now sowhat eager to give it a shot.
“Sure.” Duong stood up quickly.
********************
In the end, the two of them never got to spar.
The representatives of the Northern Mystery Martial World wanted to understand the situation of the Black Rain Villa in the morning. Casio had to lead the way and introduce the place, while Duong was left to guard the building.
The known areas of the Villa weren’t complicated. They consisted of the east, west, south, and north parts. They included the various schools’ territories, and so shops supported by these schools. All these details were on a map, with each area clearly marked.
Beyond the known areas, there was the unknown part of Black Rain Villa, which occupied at least three-quarters of the villa’s total area. Casio had ventured into it before and the unknown area was full of inexplicable peculiarities.
The space inside it seed to be problematic, absurd and eerie, like a bizarre, rule-defying dream.
Casio had entered one such space.
With his own personal experiences combined with Dusk’s vague mories, Casio was convinced that Black Rain Villa was still in its recovery period, and its total power hadn’t reached the terrifying peak it would later on. Aside from the Eerie Night Guests, the power of all other mysterious entities within the Villa would gradually beco stronger as the villa recovered its energy.
The anomalies during that phase could lead to instant death on contact.
As for now… it could be said that for first-ti Blood Circulation level Secret Martial Arts experts, it wasn’t much of a threat.
Of course, Casio wouldn’t be so foolish as to underestimate Black Rain Villa’s power. A massive entity like this that persisted through different eras definitely had rich and mysterious reserves.
Like the seemingly non-threatening Blood Clan. Who could have foreseen that the truly powerful High Order Blood Clan were sleeping in the Blood Pool relics? Unless disturbed from sleep or faced with life or death, these High Order Blood Clan would never co out.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if the Blood Clan faces a life-threatening situation. As long as they are not disturbed from their sleep, it would be fine. After all, as long as the High Order Blood Clan exists just like ones who never age, even if all Blood Clan in the world were destroyed, they could be brought back to life.
Black Rain Villa, that dares to hunt all dark creatures, definitely has sothing similar or even more powerful and mysterious.
But!
Black Rain Villa would never lay all its cards out.
Even then, it would only use one or two of its reserves. If it deems the situation unfavorable, the Villa might choose to conserve strength, close down, and vanish, only to return stronger in the next era.
Dusk had already experinted with this before.
Ti quickly passed and morning ended.
The delegation from the Northern Mystery Martial World gained a general understanding of both Black Rain Villa and the Eerie Night Guests. Everyone returned to the small building.
