I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

At this moment.

In another location within the education hall, at the base of the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

Wu Hongzhou had already arrived.

"Student Xu Lingjun, ahahaha, I came to see you."

He spoke with a smile, wearing a faint, almost undetectable look of caution on his face.

Clearly, he was already a martial artist in the Profound Realm, but facing the young and seemingly weak Huichuan Realm Martial Artist before him, Wu Hongzhou unexpectedly found himself feeling cautious once again.

Who wouldn't be cautious?

He had personally witnessed Pirate King Roger, whose strength might have surpassed his own, kicking the opponent, yet the guy appeared unaffected... but this young man casually struck Roger with a palm.

And Roger vanished.

Truly vanished, if he hadn't specifically left his two arms behind, he would have been completely obliterated.

Fortunately, the Pirate King had no kin, or perhaps his kin were galaxies away in the Cosmic Sea Realm; otherwise, upon learning that their relative had been reduced to ashes, they would have been furious enough to want to tear the perpetrator to pieces in rage.

But Wu Hongzhou was incredibly certain about one thing, this Huichuan Realm Martial Artist was a fake... if even Roger couldn't withstand him, it meant this young man could actually kill him in one blow.

Who on earth has a Huichuan Martial Artist this powerful?

Thus, although he came with justifiable reasons, Wu Hongzhou was inexplicably a bit guilty, as he truly did intend to plot against Xu Lingjun before. At that time, Xu Lingjun might have cooperated with him due to the circumstances, but now that Roger was dead, if this kid wanted to dispose of him after getting what was needed, there was nothing he could do.

He might even... end up being collateral damage here.

"Vice Sect Leader Wu, you're here."

Xu Lingjun smiled, "I've been waiting for you for quite a while... uh... why did you bring something along?"

"Isn't it because I took your credit?"

Wu Hongzhou laughed awkwardly, placing a gold box, the size of a palm, on the table, "This is the Elemental Transformation Pill I've treasured for years, refined from the purest Primordial Qi. Consuming it has great benefits for cultivation, and it's considered a fairly valuable treasure."

Xu Lingjun blinked, saying, "Since you're already here, why be so polite?"

Wu Hongzhou said, a bit embarrassed, "Mainly because I feel guilty. Everyone thinks that Roger was slain by me; no matter how much I explain, it's useless. They also told me that attacking the Divine Soldier Guard is a grave crime, and even with my identity as the Vice Sect Leader of the Cuowu Sect, it's not so easy to brush this matter aside without substantial merit, so I can only shamelessly claim this credit from you."

Xu Lingjun immediately understood Wu Hongzhou's intention.

He was taking credit but was worried that Xu Lingjun wouldn't give him what was previously promised...

"But what you took was not just the credit; there's trouble too."

Xu Lingjun said, "As far as I know, there are still many pirates lingering in the Cosmic Sea Realm. If they find out you killed Roger Sparrow, trouble might be unavoidable by then."

"Hahaha, troubles lightyears away; I don't really take them seriously. If they have the capability, they can follow the cosmic navigation to come fight me. They need to have the skills to even reach me. As long as you, Student Xu Lingjun, don't mind me taking your credit!"

"Don't worry, I don't mind, I really don't mind."

Xu Lingjun patted his waist.

Last night, Pirate King Roger died miserably at his hands, with bones and flesh all smashed to pieces by the Power of Resistance, but there was a small token that remained completely intact under the full-force strike.

Xu Lingjun knew this item was extraordinary, so he quietly brought it back.

After bringing it back, he discovered it was actually a Sea King Order.

Could it be a symbol of the Pirate King's identity?

Possessing the Sea King Order might enable one to become the Sea King? Having the capability to dominate the entire Cosmic Sea Realm?

Such wild thoughts instantly went through Xu Lingjun's mind, but anyway, judging by the material of the Sea King Order alone, its value was undoubtedly significant.

Keeping it might come in handy in the future.

The benefits are mine to take, and you bear the blame...

But just as Wu Hongzhou said, Roger Sparrow's relatives are all within the Cosmic Sea Realm, far beyond reach. Even if they wanted to seek revenge, it would be in vain.

Unless Roger had a kin immensely powerful, at least in the Profound Realm, within the Great Xia Empire; otherwise, Wu Hongzhou wouldn't face much trouble.

Yet, a trouble is a trouble, no matter how distant; Xu Lingjun was gladly letting Wu Hongzhou take the blame.

Xu Lingjun smiled, "I understand your intention, Vice Sect Leader Wu. Rest assured, I'm not one to burn bridges. Although you plotted against me before and scared me into hiding in the Zhanzheng Academy, afraid to step out, we've now turned enemies into friends, so I won't mind the past."

Wu Hongzhou thought, afraid to step out because of me?

Do you know if it weren't for the value of that item and my certainty that you're unable to use it, I'd rather not have it because I'm afraid you'll hit me.

Xu Lingjun had no idea about Wu Hongzhou's internal struggle, he took out a small ornate box, handed it over, saying, "I'll give you what you deserve, but I've left a backup. Although I absolutely trust the Vice Sect Leader's character, it's always better to be careful. Don't you think I'm right?"

"Yes... yes... wait... What backup? This thing can have a backup?"

Wu Hongzhou answered halfway through, realizing something odd.

He looked at the ornate box, opened it, to see an ancient book neatly placed inside, with the words "Reversing Heaven and Earth" boldly inscribed on the cover, making him feel dizzy.

"Wrong... this isn't it, this isn't it."

Wu Hongzhou cried out in surprise, the first thought being Xu Lingjun was messing with him.

Could it be he wants to renege?

But seeing Xu Lingjun's innocent look, it seemed he wasn't playing him?

Xu Lingjun asked curiously, "What, isn't this what you wanted?"

Wu Hongzhou seriously explained, "This martial skill, though indeed precious, is actually my handwritten version, so whether I take it back or not doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't spread... Actually, I traded this martial skill with Marquis Xia Wu for something else."

"What was it?"

Xu Lingjun's gaze turned cold.

Thinking it might be a Barrier-Breaking Pill? If so, I'd definitely go back on it... I need that to break through the realm.

Wu Hongzhou said, somewhat embarrassed, "Actually, I wanted the Essence Supplement Pill and the Yang Spirit Liquid."

He raised two fingers, "Both items."

Xu Lingjun: "................."

He said speechlessly, "You exchanged your sect's Supreme Martial Arts Technique for an Essence Supplement Pill?"

"Such improper elixirs, few alchemists are willing to craft them, and I have a particular taste for them, so they're naturally much more precious... Student Xu Lingjun, you don't need these two items, right?"

Xu Lingjun quickly shook his head like a wave drum, "No need, no need, using them might really kill someone."

Wu Hongzhou looked at Xu Lingjun with eyes that suddenly...

Were seeing a class enemy.
