The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Upon seeing the box on the ground, everyone exchanged glances. To be safe, Xiao Xue used her space abilities, so if anything unexpected happened, she could move the large box away immediately.

Lin Chuan walked up to the box and took a closer look. He realized the box was made of a special kind of metal, but he couldn't identify what it was.

"Did you feel the energy fluctuation?" Lin Chuan asked Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu shook his head, "I didn't feel any energy fluctuation, but I can tell you there's absolutely nothing living inside."

Mu Qiu's spiritual power was quite powerful, and with it at full force earlier, he had already penetrated the box and didn't sense any living things inside.

Lin Chuan stepped forward and opened the box. Inside, he found a book. More precisely, it seemed to be a book related to a Cultivation Technique.

Lin Chuan, feeling curious, said, "Such a big box, yet it only contains a book. That doesn't make any sense."

Just as Lin Chuan was about to reach for the book, Xiao Xue's voice rang out, "Don't move. I feel a trace of space power. If I'm not mistaken, there must be hidden mechanisms inside this box."

Though Mu Qiu's abilities were strong, he was helpless against space power since his spiritual power couldn't penetrate space.

Hearing Xiao Xue's warning, Lin Chuan promptly stopped and took a few steps back.

At that moment, Lin Chuan became very cautious. Understanding it was space power, he knew he could handle small fry without issue. But if confronted with a master of space powers, he would likely meet his end.

Though not afraid of death, Lin Chuan didn't want to die without purpose, so he entrusted Xiao Xue with the task.

Xiao Xue approached the box, snorted, and said, "Who would have thought this box also contained space power. Heh, if I absorb that space power, the mechanisms will be disabled."

As she spoke, Xiao Xue gently pressed her palm against the right side of the box. Instantly, Lin Chuan and the others saw a flash of light emanating from her hand.

Mu Qiu was a bit stunned to see this and exhaled, "Lin Chuan, Xiao Xue has broken through! Her abilities have reached a legendary level."

Lin Chuan chuckled, "Your teammate breaking through should be reassuring. There's no need to be so tense."

Time ticked by second by second, and suddenly, the massive box emitted a loud noise, reminiscent of a magnitude ten earthquake.

After absorbing the space power, Xiao Xue stepped back. Just then, the box exploded with a bang, and a rush of black liquid surged towards Xiao Xue at a speed far exceeding that of sound.

Xiao Xue was secretly shocked by the incredible speed of the black liquid, which was several times faster than sound. At the critical moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared around her body.

It was a Space Shield, offering formidable defense. Even a supreme master couldn't easily destroy it. However, when the black liquid encountered Xiao Xue's space power, it began to slowly infiltrate.

Xiao Xue saw her Space Shield changing. If nothing was done, the shield would be compromised by the black liquid within three minutes.

Xiao Xue's expression changed slightly. Her fingers moved subtly in the air, "Clear Sky Rift!"

As Xiao Xue activated her ability, the black liquid suddenly disappeared, vanishing into some unknown space.

Seeing the black liquid finally vanish, Xiao Xue let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest. Had she not preemptively equipped herself with a Space Shield, the black liquid might have engulfed her, reducing her to a pool of black liquid in seconds.

Standing not far away, Lin Chuan couldn't help but remark, "Mu Qiu, did you see that? That's the power of a space ability user, offering immense safety even when faced with an enemy at close range, thanks to her shield."

Mu Qiu still felt a hint of fear, "Good thing we were fifty meters away from Xiao Xue, or else the black liquid could have rushed at us, and we'd be in trouble."

Lin Chuan chuckled, patted Mu Qiu's head, and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if you died, wouldn't I be right there with you?"

Seeing Lin Chuan's nonchalant manner, Mu Qiu could only laugh a bit and remained silent.

Lin Chuan, Xiao Xue, and Mu Qiu cautiously moved forward. By this time, the massive box had long since vanished, shattered into splinters from the explosion.

What lay ahead was not a book but a knife.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, gritting his teeth, "So the book was just a trigger for the mechanism, and the real item inside this massive box was a knife."

Lin Chuan walked over, picked up the knife, and was surprised to see, "This isn't right. Look at this knife; it's actually red. What a strange knife."

Xiao Xue and Mu Qiu examined the knife closely, finding it peculiar as its blade was blood red, like fresh blood.

Even after observing for a long time, none of them saw any distinct features of the knife. Lin Chuan asked Mu Qiu, "Is there a way to discern this knife's properties?"

Mu Qiu chuckled, "To test the knife's properties, it's simple. Just kill someone, or an animal."

Lin Chuan slapped his own head and said, "Of course, of course, such a simple principle, I actually forgot. Heh, ever since you joined our little team, my intelligence has seemingly dropped considerably."

Mu Qiu was left speechless, as if Lin Chuan implied that his intelligence waned due to Mu Qiu's presence.

Xiao Xue smiled happily upon seeing Lin Chuan pick up the blood knife.

"Brother Lin, I heard you mention being bullied to death by some sect. If you want, I can help you take revenge today." Xiao Xue looked deeply at Lin Chuan.
