Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

After leaving the shooting range, Bai Lingmo quickly caught up with Qin Xue and Chen Shu ahead.

"Xue'er, Xue'er, he's your boyfriend, right? He's amazing!" Bai Lingmo grabbed Qin Xue's hand and shook it gently, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Chen Shu with curiosity.

"Mmm." Qin Xue nodded gently, a hint of pride appearing on her slightly flushed cheeks. She secretly glanced at Chen Shu, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Wife, who is this?"

Li Daoxuan appeared beside Bai Lingmo in an instant, his right hand naturally resting on her shoulder. His gaze towards Chen Shu held a hint of admiration, clearly impressed by Chen Shu's performance earlier.

Chen Shu's sudden, cloud-piercing strike had left this cultivator of the [Lightning Summoning Technique] completely bewildered. Keep in mind, he was already at the fourth level of lightning magic, equivalent to the "Sea" realm in terms of spiritual power. Yet, the aura emanating from Chen Shu still instilled fear in him.

"He's Xue'er's boyfriend, isn't he amazing! He just took down Zhao Houzi in one move, I didn't even see how he did it." Bai Lingmo recalled the scene of Chen Shu's attack, as if she was once again in shock.

"Hey, honey, you can't do this! I'm not bad either, okay?" Li Daoxuan shook Bai Lingmo's shoulder with a hint of grievance in his voice. "I'm an instructor in the Thunder Magic Department now, can't you praise me more?"

"Ouch, ouch, stop shaking me!" Bai Lingmo's small hand quickly reached for Li Daoxuan's waist, and the next second, a scream came from Li Daoxuan's mouth.

"Young friend, I am the Minister of Thunder Magic of the Night Watch. I just saw that your skill in thunder magic is extremely profound. May I exchange some words with you?"

Senior Li walked up to Chen Shu, bowed slightly, and spoke with a hint of respect and expectation.

Seeing the four men's cloaks and their frequent mention of lightning magic, Chen Shu naturally guessed that they were a group of Night Watchmen who practiced the [Lightning Summoning Technique].

Although I had thought about meeting these people before, I really didn't expect this day to come so soon, and so unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry, I don't practice the [Lightning Summoning Technique], and I don't have anything to share with you." Chen Shu shook his head, rejecting Senior Li's suggestion.

Chen Shu didn't know much about the [Lightning Summoning Technique]. He was unaware of the specific cultivation methods and key points, so he naturally couldn't discuss them with the senior Li in front of him.

His thunder magic originated from the "laws" of the gods Indra and Thor.

Chen Shu refers to this state of merging with the "Law of Thunder" as the "Thunder Transformation Body".

"This..." Senior Li suddenly raised his head, looking at Chen Shu in astonishment, "How do you know the name of the secret manual for cultivating thunder magic in my sect?"

It's important to know that only a select few within the Night's Watch have ever seen the original [Lightning Spell]. The one currently used within the Lightning Department is a replica created by the Night's Watch leadership using special methods, and it's also called [Lightning Magic].

Aside from these high-ranking officials, only the Night Watchers 136 team stationed in Cangnan City and the "person" who produced this manual had ever seen it.

This means that Chen Shu is either a member of Squad 136 or that "person".

Clearly, Squad 136 does not possess the same abilities as the person before them.

That means...

Senior Li's gaze held a hint of inquiry, and his tone became serious: "Young friend, could you tell me where you learned the name of the [Lightning Summoning Technique]?"

"It's just what you think." Chen Shu waved his hand casually and led Qin Xue away into the distance.

If the Night Watchman didn't even tell Senior Li how he obtained the [Lightning Spell], then there's no point in him revealing his identity directly.

It would be better to just say something casually. If the Night's Watch has told him, then he will naturally know. Otherwise, he can just go and ask the Night's Watch.

Besides, he had only just returned and hadn't even spent much time with Qin Xue yet. Being constantly disturbed was also very annoying.

"Minister, what's going on? Is this person so arrogant? Can't he speak properly? What does he mean by saying something so vague?"

Holding a long spear, Wei Ziwei spoke with obvious dissatisfaction. She had been ready to fight, but now she had to hold back, and she was in a very bad mood.

"Don't be rude!" Senior Li scolded, his weathered eyes beneath his hood reflecting Chen Shu's receding figure, a figure that revealed a hint of admiration.

Already in a bad mood, and having been humiliated by Senior Li, Wei Ziwei immediately put away her spear and turned to leave.

Wang Gang shook his head inwardly as he watched Wei Ziwei leave in a huff.

Sometimes, indulging your temper too much is not a good thing.

However, he didn't intend to try to persuade Wei Ziwei. She and Zhao Yuan were the same kind of people—overly arrogant.

Only after truly experiencing life and death will one understand the principle that things will turn around when they reach their extreme.

Arriving at the deserted arena, Chen Shu and Qin Xue sat side by side on the edge of the martial arts stage.

"Xiaoxue, to make up for lying to you again, I'm giving you a gift."

Chen Shu slightly raised his right hand, and an ice-blue longbow appeared, its body emitting a faint chill.

When Qin Xue first saw the [Longbow of the Cold], she was overjoyed. The next second, her mood suddenly plummeted, and she felt extremely guilty.

"Chen Shu...you must have had a very difficult year."

Qin Xue turned her head slightly, looking at Chen Shu with heartache, tears visibly welling up in her eyes.

Seeing Qin Xue like this, Chen Shu naturally knew that she had misunderstood.

Gently pulling Qin Xue into his arms, Chen Shu said softly, "You're overthinking it. I've had a good year. This forbidden item is especially for you, so you must accept it."

"Really?" Qin Xue looked up at Chen Shu with red eyes.

"Of course, who else would I give it to if not you?" Chen Shu nodded matter-of-factly, as if it were a matter of course.

"That's not what I meant." Qin Xue suddenly pushed Chen Shu away, turned her head away from him, and looked sullen.

Chen Shu was confused and stared blankly at Qin Xue's profile before cautiously saying, "But I'm giving this to you."

"Am I just someone who only thinks about gifts in your eyes?" Qin Xue still didn't look at Chen Shu, but instead spoke with a resentful tone.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu suddenly realized his mistake. "My mistake, my mistake, I promise I didn't mean it that way."

As Chen Shu spoke, he handed the [Linghan Longbow] in his hand to Qin Xue, "Take it."

The moment Qin Xue picked up the longbow, the voice of the dragon soul slowly echoed in her mind.

"It is indeed a good thing, but compared to a real dragon, the whiskers of a dragon are not considered precious."

Upon hearing Long Hun's words, Qin Xue immediately became displeased and retorted inwardly.

"Whether it's a real dragon or a flood dragon, do you know how much effort he put in to get it? Don't say things like that again, I don't like hearing it!"
