I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Xu Lingjun was speaking absolute truth.

Although it was painful when he was beaten before, after the True Qi that Marquis Xia Wu injected into him was fully digested,

it was like a person eating enough food for three days all at once... as long as he wasn't burst open, it's hard not to gain some fat.

Receiving such a huge gift from Marquis Xia Wu, Xu Lingjun's True Qi naturally made significant progress.

Clearly, he had just broken through the Huichuan Realm not long ago and hadn't even had time to stabilize the realm, but now his Qi Blood was abundant, the blood membrane inside his body was crystal clear, and the True Qi flowed through him like a vast river, showing signs of transforming into a sea, clearly reaching the middle stage of the Huichuan Realm.

Did I break through again?

Xu Lingjun felt it seemed normal, but he clearly knew his progress speed might be beyond normal people's imagination, so generally, he didn't share good news with strangers, except for those close to him.

"You're not dead... that's really great."

Han Yun City stared at Xu Lingjun for a long time before weakly sitting down on the ground, letting out a long sigh, glancing over him, and said, "I was wondering why I discovered you could fly while tracking you... turns out it's because you're wearing such magical equipment, it's too convenient, you wouldn't have been wearing this while we were fighting, right?"

The armor even the Headhunter Piranha couldn't bite through.

This guy cheats so blatantly, doesn't he?

There was indeed a reason I couldn't beat him before.

Xu Lingjun's eyes fell on Han Yun City's back, and he said, "I said I was flying, yet you could still catch up to me, turns out you have your little secret too..."

Wings had grown on his back.

And they weren't mechanical wings, but flesh wings... it seemed this Han Yun City wasn't human.

At least, not a simple human.

Recalling this guy's imperial clan identity, and how Liu Zhiyuan and others didn't want him to compete for the Crown Prince's Position of the Great Xia Empire,

Xu Lingjun felt he vaguely understood something.

Seeing Xu Lingjun's expression, Han Yun City sneered, and said, "That's right, sheltered by my mother's bloodline, my sense of smell, hearing, and perception far exceed ordinary people, having wings is perfectly normal... but frankly, you're the first who has seen my true form and survived. If you hadn't saved my life, I absolutely wouldn't have spared you. In any case, this time I owe you a favor, and you've escaped death because of it."

"I wouldn't say you owe me. If it weren't for you, I might have had to flee in panic from that Marquis Xia Wu, and couldn't counter-attack him like now. From this point of view, I should thank you."

That was indeed the truth.

Xu Lingjun had made thorough preparations, even if he couldn't defeat Marquis Xia Wu, he could escape by activating the Nanometer Armor... soaring into the sky, even if Marquis Xia Wu had ten legs, he couldn't catch up with him.

Although there was no need to worry about his own life, being targeted by such a powerful figure left him feeling unsafe, so if there was ever an enemy that could be called cute, it would probably only be a dead enemy.

Just like now...

With Han Yun City's help, Marquis Xia Wu became cute.

Looking at Marquis Xia Wu's maimed corpse, skeletal and flesh blurred, Xu Lingjun found it pleasing to the eye.

Xu Lingjun looked at Han Yun City and asked, "Still going to fight?"

"No, you've expended a lot using the 'Qiantian Gang Qi', fighting further would just be taking advantage of you."

Han Yun City sighed, shaking his head, "Surviving this is already a heaven's blessing for you, once you recover, we'll have a fair fight without your protective gear. Now... I'm not interested in fighting your protective suit."

"Suit yourself."

Xu Lingjun got up and walked toward Marquis Xia Wu's corpse.

"What are you doing?"

"Looting the body."

Xu Lingjun said, "This is my prey, you won't snatch it, right?"

"I'm not interested."

"That's good."

Xu Lingjun really had little interest in the treasures on Marquis Xia Wu, it wasn't a game, killing someone wouldn't drop treasures, who would carry valuable treasures while fighting?

What truly intrigued Xu Lingjun was...

He and Marquis Xia Wu practically didn't know each other, he hadn't killed his son nor did he hold any incriminating evidence forcing him to take such risks...

What reason could possibly drive a Pavilion Master to lethally attack a Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion genius?

Was it human depravity? Or moral deficiency?

You must know, given how Liu Zhiyuan valued him, if Marquis Xia Wu's malice towards him were exposed, he wouldn't leave Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion alive, even Tai Zhengyuan couldn't protect him, no plea would work.

Yet he still did it.

Xu Lingjun thought he wasn't particularly benevolent, but aside from Sister Yaya, he hadn't bullied anyone, so why did someone desperately want his life?

It's too much.

There must be reasons unknown to him.

It's not the obvious tigers that frighten but the hidden snakes, just like this Marquis Xia Wu... if not for Xiaoya's earlier warning, Xu Lingjun might not have known he was being secretly targeted all along.

By then, with Marquis Xia Wu's power, an attack would have been overwhelming, and he'd surely suffer injuries.

It's terrifying, such things mustn't happen again.

He rummaged through Marquis Xia Wu, the Headhunter Piranhas were particular, devouring about seventy percent of Marquis Xia Wu's flesh cleanly... but his clothes were mostly preserved, indicating considerable skill.

Hmm, that whip cord wasn't bad.

Soft texture, seemed like some animal's tendon, extended about dozens of meters long... yet its tenacity was quite astonishing, even Xu Lingjun's Nanometer Armor at full speed couldn't tear it, showing its excellent quality, probably a type of weapon too.

Keeping it to play some tricks with Sister Yaya would be good.

Xu Lingjun put the rope away and then seriously searched his pocket.

He wasn't hopeful, but after searching a bit... he did find a small...

USB drive?

Xu Lingjun glanced back at Han Yun City, who had taken out some medicine to begin healing himself, noticing Xu Lingjun's gaze, he said, "Whatever you find, keep it. Although my identity is special, I don't lack money... I've eaten too much of various treasures, I don't care for these small things, he's your prey, I won't take your stuff..."

"Then I won't be polite."

If it were an ordinary person, they might pocket the USB and check later if there was anything valuable in it.

But Xu Lingjun was different.

Placing the USB on the chest of his Nanometer Armor, a light scan passed over, and all information in the USB was browsed by Xiaoya.

"Master, there are large transfer records with total funds accumulated to 1,298,542,200 yuan! Moreover, there are numerous records of resources and Spirit Plant transfers... all sources come from a company called Zhong's Corporation, an internal operation likely, seems this Marquis Xia Wu has hollowed out the entire Zhong's Group."

Zhong's Group?

Xu Lingjun thought, pondering if he knew anyone named Zhong?

Seemed like no... oh right, there was once a Zhong Dawei who bullied him, but he was dead now, and before dying he benevolently transferred his life's Qi Force into him, dying fulfilled.

Could it be related to this?

Did this Marquis Xia Wu collude with an insider to empty Zhong's Group, feeling guilty seeing Young Master Zhong's miserable death, thus avenging him?

Xu Lingjun wasn't sure, but knowing the general truth eased his mind a bit, later he could task Father Wang to investigate this direction.

He continued searching, finding a wallet at his waist, stuffed with a few cards and a mobile phone.

Xu Lingjun's heart stirred, thinking does this mean that the money and resources drained from Zhong's Corporation by this Marquis Xia Wu are on these cards?

If he could crack the password, could he not retrieve these things?

Wealth naturally... was quite concerning to him, but even more attractive were those resources, Xiaoya only briefly mentioned them, but some Spiritual Rare Herbs even he found tempting.

Selling them for Academic Credit would be nice, most importantly, it's a windfall.

Xu Lingjun unceremoniously pocketed the phone, preparing to let Xiaoya hack it later to see if he could find the password.
