Chapter Fifty-One What's Going On

  Hu YunTeng's gaze, which had been fixed on the skull, suddenly shifted to Su QiRuo. What a powerful spiritual fluctuation! It seemed to have the power to move mountains and fill seas. Could it be that she was the true Water God? Hu YunTeng subconsciously fumbled for the skull in his hand, carefully recalling that he had seen this woman before at the restaurant because she was from the Divine Clan. He had only taken a glance at her from afar and hadn't paid much attention to her afterwards. Now it seemed that this ordinary-looking woman might actually be one of the Six Gods, the Water God. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to possess such powerful and endless spiritual energy. Moreover, she bore the marks of two major demon clans on her body. If she wasn't an extremely valuable member of the Divine Clan, she wouldn't have attracted the attention of the two major demon clans.

  Hu Yunfeng let out a relieved smile, his previous worries about the transaction with the mysterious snake now seemed unnecessary. With such prey in hand, everything else was hardly worth mentioning. Hu Yunfeng carefully examined the skull again, his serious and focused expression like that of an art connoisseur appraising a masterpiece. The skull was no longer just a dull, white bone to him, but a concentrated essence of a person's entire being - their appearance, physique, memories, thoughts... everything about this person's life Hu Yunfeng could sense through touch. Every person was a fascinating book, entrancing Hu Yunfeng with the complexities of human nature, the warmth and coldness of society, and the intricacies of individual lives. If not for his urgent need to find the Thousand Illusions Bone, Hu Yunfeng would have liked to linger in this place, carefully sensing each person, pondering, and savoring every detail. Humans were indeed interesting creatures.

  Su Qi felt that the spiritual energy surging from his hands was jumping with rich life, and they seemed to be consciously searching for underground water sources, transmitting the information they sensed back to Su Qi. He felt that the spiritual energy was constantly approaching the water source, which should be just a short distance away, ten meters, five meters, two meters... getting closer and closer! He felt it! The water, as if in his palm, gently jumping on his palm, come, slowly rising, a little bit at a time. Su Qi's voice was intoxicated with a gentle call, like a poetic phrase in a dream. The water, driven by Su Qi's spiritual energy, slowly rose to the surface, and Su Qi's hands had already felt the dampness of the ground, which was moistened by the water, symbolizing that the water flow was about to be drawn out of the ground by Su Qi.

  "Come." Su Qi Ruo murmured softly, carefully controlling the water flow drawn from the underground source in her hands. The joy of success overflowed on Su Qi Ruo's face, a mix of pride and satisfaction. For the first time, she felt that being a Water Goddess was so wonderful, allowing her to appreciate the wonders that others couldn't. Su Qi Ruo carefully gathered the two water balls in her palms together until they completely merged into a new one. Only then did she mentally transform the water ball into a sword shape.

  。

  Alas! Failure! Su Qiruo's helpless sigh, she had clearly wanted to turn the water droplet into an ice sword, but what emerged was just a ordinary ice cone, the difference was really too great. However, it seemed that her control over spiritual energy had indeed strengthened, if it were in the past, nine out of ten times it would have turned into an ice ball. Thinking this way, Su Qiruo wasn't so disappointed after all.

  Su Qi Ruo held the ice cone with a serious expression, imagining herself as a legendary female knight holding a treasured sword, ready to strike and kill the enemy at any moment. The outcome of this battle depended on this one move! Su Qi Ruo infused her spiritual energy into the ice cone, attempting to approach the barrier. As soon as the barrier touched the ice cone, it quickly retreated, avoiding direct confrontation. Su Qi Ruo swiftly stabbed at the barrier several times, trying to pierce through it, but all attempts failed.

  Is it that my speed is not fast enough? But I've already tried my best, my arms are sore from stabbing. However, my movements still aren't fast enough, how can I make them faster? Change my stance? Use a slashing motion? Ah! Slashing motions are not only fast but also agile, and the range of movement can be even greater! Su Qier suddenly raised her ice pick high up, and with a swift downward slash, she struck the barrier. The barrier immediately showed shallow marks from the ice pick's passage, but it did not shatter.

  Su Qi Ruo didn't feel discouraged, because she found that this movement was indeed much faster than the previous one. Moreover, the ice cone did leave a mark on the boundary, Su Qi Ruo saw it clearly, the boundary responded to the large and swift impact with a slower reaction than before, if her speed was a bit faster, using stronger spiritual power, she should be able to break through the boundary.

  "Hey! You're not really going to break the fox's seal, are you?" Si Ruiwen observed Su Qieruo for half a day, seeing her accumulate even stronger spiritual energy once again, and couldn't help but speak up to remind her.

  "It's just a try." Su Qi still didn't think that her second attempt could easily break through the fox's boundary.

  Shan Ruiwen didn't think so, based on his current observation. Su Qi's accumulated spiritual power this time might be able to break through the fox's boundary even if it wasn't fast enough. The boundary was just a manifestation of spiritual power; as long as one side's spiritual power surpassed the other's, it could easily suppress and destroy it, even without speed. "If you accidentally break the fox's boundary, what will you do if someone finds out about this mountain in its current state? How will you explain it?" Shan Ruiwen asked seriously.

  “……” Su Qi had not thought about this issue at all, she just wanted to try the fox's seal, as for what consequences she didn't think about it at all. What if it breaks... Su Qi looked around at the situation, these discarded skulls scattered all over the mountain, I guess it will attract a group of police? What crime is this? Grave robbery? Stealing corpses?

  Su Qi reluctantly turned around, no longer facing the boundary. Wasn't she just trying to practice? Why was it so difficult? Without Su Qi's spiritual power support, the ice cone quickly melted into a puddle of clear water and disappeared into the ground again.

  Su Qi sat down in a place, feeling bored and listless. She didn't know if it was because she had gotten used to the eerie atmosphere, but the sight of the skeletons scattered all over the mountain no longer frightened her as much as before. If the fox were to dig up all the skeletons that had accumulated on this mountain over the years, would she too become curious about them like the fox? If so... it was really too morbid.

  Su Qi Ruo shook her head, she didn't want to be like a fox with a heavy taste. She had to find something to do or else she would easily be influenced by the fox. What should she do? Su Qi Ruo looked around and sighed, there was nothing good to do, might as well try to manipulate her spiritual power again. If only she could use her spiritual power to attack like Lu Ke did. Su Qi Ruo thought about it and then put her hands on the ground, using her spiritual power once more. This time, in order to train her control over her spiritual power, she used an even stronger force. If only she didn't have Mu Shen's guidance, she would be able to independently create a water vein.

  "What's going on?" Shi Ruwen's eyes widened as he felt the entire mountain behind him trembling, and it seemed like something was about to burst out of the ground!
