She knew Duan Yuleng didn’t seem like a good person, but she hadn’t imagined he would be so audacious. He even dared to target professional players from different associations. If this were discovered, his entire backing association would face repercussions.
No wonder she felt there was sothing off about him and Ming Fuzhi at first glance. They had obviously co into contact with resentnt and developed a subtle connection.
Considering this, even if Tan Heming’s incident wasn’t directly caused by the man before her, it was undoubtedly connected to Duan Yuleng.
And how could Duan Yuleng possess the ans to let an ordinary person acquire such a card?
Wen Jiang summoned Xing Wu. Before Xing Wu could survey the scene, Wen Jiang tilted her chin up. The person on the hospital bed had started drooling with a foolish grin. Before Xing Wu could even frown in disgust, Wen Jiang said, "Get that useless card out of his body."
Xing Wu was sowhat speechless. "You could easily have done this yourself."
It was just an ordinary card. Anyway, Wen Jiang, having already intervened, could forcibly extract it without much difficulty.
"That’s an item modified by the System; how would I know what it actually is? The resentnt we previously stripped from Tan Heming and Hua Zhuo had all been used. This ti, I want to see what an unused one looks like. You said you could do it, so now’s your ti to perform."
Xing Wu wasn’t unwilling, but he was quite repulsed by the ’assassin’ before him, who had completely lost his wits and could only giggle and drool. Extending his hand, it took about three seconds for a card engulfed in black resentnt to appear in his palm.
Xing Wu handed it over, saying, "This card is useless to you. To the System, it’s rely recyclable material. It has already lost the significance of its System creation and is tainted by sothing inherent to this world."
As he spoke, a strange glint appeared in his eyes. "Quite the genius. Guess if it was the work of that System or that woman?"
When Wen Jiang thought of the Heaven’s Mandate System, her eyes turned cold. "If the System did this on its own, it ans the Heart of the World has lost control over this System. In other words, a System has betrayed the Heart of the World, and the Heart of the World can’t even handle that."
Xing Wu sighed. "As you said, since it’s a betrayal, it definitely wouldn’t let the Heart of the World know."
Wen Jiang remained silent. In her heart, her rating for the Heart of the World dropped another notch.
For even a System it released to betray it, there must be a major problem within the Heart of the World, a problem related to the God of Desire.
What did this world an to the God of Desire, after all? God. Did it truly exist?
Wen Jiang pursed her lips, refraining from asking more questions in front of Xing Wu.
The card still ended up in Wen Jiang’s hands, along with the System’s warning: [Modified item. Recycle?]
Wen Jiang rembered the last ti the System had taken a card for analysis, saying it needed two days.
How many two-day periods had passed since then, with no results?
She casually tossed the card to Xing Wu. "Don’t you need resentnt? Swallow this."
Xing Wu had previously been very interested in the dancer from Hell.
Speaking of which, Wen Jiang paused. "Right."
She had nearly forgotten about the sinister card she possessed.
She imdiately summoned the dancer. The blonde ballerina instantly tried to display her fierce visage, only to show human-like fear in her eyes upon seeing Xing Wu.
Xing Wu, seeing the dancer, was indeed very interested. "Are you willing to give her to ?"
Wen Jiang nodded. "You’ve been unconscious since we got back, and I didn’t think of it."
When the Blood Emperor gave her this card, he had ill intentions. But now that she was an S Rank with Shennong inside her, a re resentnt-filled card like this couldn’t affect her. It was better to let Xing Wu absorb it.
As soon as Wen Jiang agreed, Xing Wu didn’t stand on ceremony.
He watched the terror in the dancer’s eyes. His pure black pupils began to flicker with an enchanting light, and his voice, gradually growing srizing, was like that of a siren luring sailors to their doom. "Rest in peace..."
He reached out his hand, and the ballerina let out a sharp, terrified scream.
Alas, she could not resist.
Gradually turning into a burst of light, the dancer was completely devoured and absorbed by Xing Wu.
Fortunately, he didn’t actually eat like a human, rely converting the dancer into a stream of gas to absorb.
He licked his lips, as if savoring the taste.
It was then that Wen Jiang finally heard a notification from the System.
[DING: Analysis result for the unidentified modified card.]
[Original item: Spirit Ban. Price: one hundred million Points. Created from Spirit Ban item fragnts combined with resentnt from the human species. It has undergone a mutation. Host, please handle with caution.]
"..."
This voice wasn’t Zero Egg’s usual one; it was cold, as if the Heart of the World itself was reminding Wen Jiang.
This implied the Heart of the World had long known that a subordinate System had rebelled and created this item, yet it was powerless to stop it.
How was this any different from the useless Zero Egg?
Zero Egg, however, was particularly surprised. [Spirit Ban? Impossible! This is one of our System’s ultimate items. Although I don’t know its function, one hundred million Points is an amount a normal Host could virtually never obtain. How could this thing possibly have been redeed? Even fragnts shouldn’t be possible!]
Indeed, one hundred million Points.
Considering Wen Jiang’s current Point-earning rate, which felt like she was cheating, she was still only managing tens of thousands of Points at a ti. To earn one hundred million Points, who knew how many years she would have to toil in this world.
Yu Jian was even less likely to accumulate that many Points.
Wen Jiang frowned. "So my real opponent is still that Heaven’s Mandate System?"
What kind of heaven-defying things could a single System truly accomplish?
[That’s hard to say.] Hearing that the other party could produce an item worth one hundred million Points, Zero Egg clearly cowered again. [Yu Jian has been quite quiet recently. I haven’t seen any international reports of her returning to Ceylon City.]
It was more or less confird that Yu Jian was the Celestial Maiden. Ceylon City had recently been frequented by people from the International Association, and the Heaven’s Mandate System was still with her.
Wen Jiang let out a breath. "Forget it. The pressing matter is to settle accounts with that damn Duan Yuleng."
Duan Yuleng had been causing trouble for Tan Heming, but Wen Jiang hadn’t known and hadn’t had the spare energy to care.
But now that he had ssed with her directly, it was a different matter.
Zero Egg now also understood the basic principles. [You just saw that Duan Yuleng did it? But we have no evidence. How can we go after him?]
This was only sothing Wen Jiang had discovered using the Soul Searching Technique; others couldn’t see it.
Wen Jiang lowered her gaze. "Of course, we won’t confront him directly. Aren’t you curious about the channel through which he obtained this card?"
If there was sothing wrong with the source, then this matter would be even more outrageous.
Duan Yuleng’s family had political connections; several of his uncles held positions in Imperial City.
