Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 473 Special Characteristics (Part 1)

During the interrogation, the person who impressed Han Yi the most was undoubtedly Eagle Claw King Chen Ying.

He appeared to be just an unremarkable middle-aged man, but his sharp eyes seemed to flash with lightning, radiating an astonishing aura.

If I make eye contact with him even for a moment, my eyes will feel unbearably stinging, and tears will involuntarily stream down my face, causing me to lower my head.

Even though Han Yi, with the help of the panel's functions, was able to remain unfazed by such power, the extent of his strength was still shrouded in mystery and completely undetectable.

After such a long interrogation, everyone already had a good idea of ​​the outcome.

Even if men in black did appear tonight, the lack of results after such a long time means there can't be any results. When it was Han Yi's turn to be interrogated, he was only asked a few perfunctory questions, and seeing nothing unusual, he was let go.

Next, Zhong Han observed whether Han Yi's body type matched that of the man in black. She glanced at him casually and quickly ended the process for Han Yi.

After all, she didn't know about other people's strength, but she knew Han Yi's strength all too well. In her mind, the number of people who could beat Chen Lingmo into such a miserable state... in the entire younger generation of Jing Tian Manor, was no more than five.

Han Yi could not possibly be that masked man in black.

After a busy night, the search finally came to an end as dawn broke and the sky began to clear.

Everyone left slowly, dragging their weary bodies.

A whole night of exhaustion yielded absolutely nothing.

There were no discoveries or information.

In addition, Chen Lingmo's injuries suddenly worsened, leaving Chen Ying with no choice but to quickly leave with Chen Lingmo and the group from the Three Mountains Sect.

As for Fang He, nothing happened.

He continued to serve as his deputy head of the estate, maintaining his former glory.

For the time being, his position seems secure and there are no problems.

However, the exchange and discussion failed.

Fang He has lost Chen Ying, a powerful external ally.

Everyone knew that his dream of becoming the owner of the estate was no longer possible.

......

......

At noon, the sky was clear, but the clouds were thick, making the daytime extremely gloomy.

"Okay, take this... Yes, take this too..."

Han Yi stood in the courtyard and instructed the coachman, Old Li, to load the items that might be needed on the road onto the carriage.

The matter of Chen Lingmo remains unresolved, with no answers or results. The only recourse is to announce the end of the sparring session, and that everything requires further investigation.

Inspectors like Han Yi, who have their own territories and a lot of things to do, naturally cannot just linger here.

So after meeting Zhong Yunxiu, Han Yi packed his bags and prepared to leave.

thump thump thump...

Just then, someone gently knocked on the courtyard gate.

"Hmm?" Han Yi frowned slightly and walked over quickly.

"Senior sister?" He was somewhat surprised.

"I heard you're leaving today. What's wrong? You've finally come back, why not stay a few more days?" Zhong Han was wearing an elegant white dress, her long hair flowing over her shoulders. She had a graceful figure, and her expression was noticeably brighter than the night before. Clearly, after a day and a night of rest, she had composed herself and was more at peace with herself.

"There are a lot of things going on at Qiyun Mountain. I'm afraid that if I stay away for too long, some more trouble might arise there." Han Yi shook his head.

"Well, it's really thoughtful of you to be able to take the time out of your busy schedule," Zhong Han said with a sigh.

“…..”

Han Yi, on the other hand, was somewhat confused. He felt that Zhong Han's words had a hidden meaning, so he just listened quietly.

"Are you in a hurry now?" Zhong Han asked softly.

"It's alright, there's still time." Han Yi smiled.

"Shall we take a walk?" Zhong Han, still standing outside the door, extended an invitation.

"it is good."

Han Yi could tell that Zhong Han had something to say, so he didn't hesitate and strode out the door. The two walked towards Flower Lake one after the other in perfect unison.

The gloomy sunlight shone down firmly, cut into countless fragments by the shade of the trees by the lake, and scattered on the ground like irregular, broken patterns.

The ground was also a bit damp, as if the sunlight wasn't intense enough to evaporate the morning dew.

“Junior Brother Han, the Nine Turns Courtyard was in chaos yesterday. It was thanks to you that it was kept in order… I had just woken up and was a little confused at the time… I hadn’t sorted out many things. If I did anything wrong, please don’t take it to heart…” Zhong Han slowed down, turned around gently, and said with a hint of apology in his voice.

The dappled sunlight fell on her white dress, giving it a golden glow.

"Senior sister, you're too kind. I didn't do anything special, just what I was supposed to do," Han Yi said with a smile.

“Things that should be done…” Zhong Han pondered these words carefully, paused, and sighed, “Actually, being able to do what you should do and fulfill your responsibilities is already quite commendable…”

Han Yi also stopped and listened to Zhong Han speak.

"Just like being a child and fulfilling one's filial duties..." Zhong Han continued, "Disciples of a sect need to handle the various responsibilities assigned by the sect... As friends, maintaining a good relationship and not taking advantage of someone's misfortune is more than enough..."

Han Yi remained silent and continued listening.

Zhong Han said in a low voice: "As the chief senior sister of Jiuqu Academy, and with my mother being the head of Jiuqu Academy, I have many, many friends. I also know that some people who approach me are just doing so with ulterior motives."

But I never cared. I believed that sincerity would only be reciprocated with sincerity. So, I simply smiled and let those who deceived me with lies pass, continuing to help others in any way I could. But... now I realize that treating people with sincerity only resulted in betrayal... Over a decade of friendship seems less valuable than a hollow promise!

Han Yi immediately understood; she had been traumatized and had come to him to confide in him.

A best friend of over ten years betrays you without warning; no one could accept that.

He didn't say anything more, but patiently listened.

Listening to Zhong Han talk about her childhood, some wonderful childhood memories.

At that time, she was closest to Sun Mingzhen, Fang Shouming, and Hu Yundu, and they played together every day.

Interspersed among these experiences are some of her own stories and her views on many things.

Sunlight filtered through the trees, shining quietly. A breeze rustled the leaves, flowing gently. The birds were also very cooperative, chirping only occasionally. Only Zhong Han's voice was clearest and most distinct. Han Yi smiled and responded with a few words from time to time.

As time goes by, there will eventually be a time when all the words are said.

"I'm so sorry to have bothered you today, junior brother." Zhong Han glanced at the sky and apologetically looked at him.

"It's alright, there's no rush anyway." Han Yi waved his hand with a smile. "I just heard a lot of cultivation secrets from my senior sister, which has been a great help to me."

“Speaking of which, junior brother, how long have you been at the fourth level of true skill?” Zhong Han suddenly asked.

"It's been some time." Han Yi sorted out his thoughts. After reaching the fourth level of True Skill, he became an Inspector. He silently calculated in his mind.

"It should have been about half a year," he replied.

"The fifth level of the fourth level of true skill is actually a process of strengthening one's internal energy. Have you thought it through, junior brother?" Zhong Han asked again.

"That's not certain yet. I'll ask Master again later. But I think increasing the strength and depth of one's power is a good direction," Han Yi replied.

The duration of his pure yang state depends entirely on the consumption and maintenance of his cold yin energy. Increasing his cold yin energy reserves can greatly enhance his combat power.

"Increasing your energy reserves might be a good choice in the early stages... but in the long run, exploring unique characteristics is the best option..." Zhong Han slowly assumed a fighting stance and chuckled, "If you don't believe me, Junior Brother, you can try it..."

Han Yi glanced at the strange look on her face, as if he understood something, and slowly raised both palms as well: "Senior sister, please give me your guidance."

A fight is indeed a good way to vent one's inner emotions.

"Let's begin." Zhong Han nodded to Han Yi, her body floating like waves, completely erratic. Her form appeared to be charging forward, but in reality, she swayed from side to side, making one feel uneasy and want to vomit blood. Facing the oncoming palm strike, Han Yi fully utilized the fourth level of his Cold Yin Energy, nimbly swinging his right leg to dodge the attack.

call out!

The missed palm created a slight whooshing sound, grazing Han Yi's cheek, but he didn't feel any airflow. Instead, a subtle force with a pulling, vortex-like pull adhered to his protective energy.

Zhong Han struck one palm after another, his body moving like water, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, seemingly without any pattern, but actually containing a certain regularity.

Han Yi was extremely careful in dealing with the situation, but even if he could dodge one palm strike, he definitely couldn't dodge the second.

Bang!

Han Yi was hit hard in the chest, but at the same time he also punched Zhong Han in the shoulder with his left fist.

However, the extreme cold he unleashed at full power had no effect on Zhong Han, as if ice had melted into water when exposed to sunlight. Meanwhile, his right shoulder was struck. The two forces Zhong Han exerted on his shoulder, though weak, were interconnected, subtly creating a feeling of relief from the pulling sensation.

Although Zhong Han's strength level was also suppressed to the fourth level, the various characteristics attached to it were extremely troublesome.

It seems that the force that has been strengthened three times has created a qualitative difference compared to the force of the fourth level.

Both were at the fourth level of True Skill, and Han Yi could only use True Skill, unable to use other trump cards such as Pure Yang State, so he quickly fell into a complete disadvantage.

This process repeated itself, and Han Yi's vital points were quickly covered by a large amount of dotted, viscous energy.

A more pronounced pulling sensation came over him, and Han Yi immediately realized that his attack speed and agility had been greatly reduced.

Zhong Han's attack method was like a spider hunting its prey, wrapping around him with a large amount of sticky spider web, continuously thickening the seal layer by layer, binding him tightly and making him impenetrable.
