Divine-level Base

These three were members of the internationally renowned assassin group, Black Cheetah. The number of targets who had died by their hands was countless.

"We’ve got a job! This time, our target is him! The client is offering a bounty of one billion."

A tall, muscular, middle-aged man with blond hair, blue eyes, and a beard streaked with white pushed a monitor forward. Displayed on the screen was a photo of Shu Feng.

A middle-aged man with long brown hair, exuding a decadent air, let out a whistle. A sadistic killing intent flashed in his eyes. "A pretty boy from Shuijing High School’s Celestial Pride Class! Only sixteen years old and he’s already at the Spirit Warrior Level. He’s awakened an Earth Level Spiritual Ability and can summon numerous Spirit Warrior and Spirit Master Level Void Demons, plus a Spirit Master Level Divine Archer. A genius like that... it’s enough to make anyone jealous. The feeling of snuffing out such a prodigy will be absolutely exquisite."

"Janis, this pretty boy is my prey. Don’t you dare try to take him from me! After I kill him, the boss is sure to see me in a new light... and take me to bed!"

A stunningly beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes, who looked to be in her late twenties, licked her lips. She wore only a bikini that showcased her fiery, sexy figure, and a flicker of excitement flashed in her eyes.

A lustful glint flashed in Janis’s eyes as he smirked. "Shari, I’ve always seen you in a special light. How about we spend a wonderful night together?"

Shari smiled sweetly, as beautiful and dangerous as a blooming poppy. "Of course you can, if you’re not afraid of me poisoning you to death!"

Janis laughed nervously, not daring to press the issue. The Ability Shari had awakened was the manipulation of deadly poisons. Aside from a few extraordinary individuals, even experts at the Spirit Sect Realm could die if they were hit by her venom.

Shari’s direct combat strength was feeble, but she was one of the most dangerous members of the Black Cheetah, second only to their leader, Demon Leopard.

The blond, middle-aged man, Robin, said calmly, "Shari, your Ability is the most suitable for assassinating Shu Feng. He’s all yours. Same old rules: you complete the mission, you get seventy percent of the kill fee. The boss gets twenty, and we split the last ten."

Shari smiled sweetly. "No problem!"

「Ten days later. Shuijing Airport.」

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up as he watched Zhao Zixing walk toward him. He paused, surprised. "Zhao Zixing? What are you doing here?"

"I’m an exchange student, too!"

Zhao Zixing’s gaze fell on an ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing beside Shu Feng, holding his luggage. "Who’s he?"

"He’s my servant, Shu Yi," Shu Feng said.

Shu Yi was the Great Spirit Master Level expert Shu Feng had captured alive. The man had undergone extensive plastic surgery, had his height increased by ten centimeters, and had gained twenty kilograms. His appearance was so completely altered that only those closest to him would be able to recognize him.

Qi Ning muttered indignantly under his breath, "What a show-off. Just some kid from the Lower Class, and he even brought a servant. None of us brought servants!"

Both Zhao Zixing and Li Xuan Yi came from exceptional families. If they wished, they could have been surrounded by a massive retinue of countless servants. While Qi Ning’s family background wasn’t on par with those two, he was still part of a Noble Family and could have as many servants as he desired.

However, to foster independence in their heirs, these great Noble Families generally didn’t provide them with servants during their years of study.

"Shu Feng, hi. I’m Liu Yang, another one of the exchange students."

A tall young man with a buzz cut and a remarkable presence walked over. He had a sunny smile on his face as he offered his hand to Shu Feng.

Shu Feng shook Liu Yang’s hand. "Hi."

"Hey, everyone. I’m Zhong Ming, also an exchange student!"

A scholarly-looking young man with glasses walked over, his eyes landing on Zhao Zixing with a flash of admiration.

A burly, handsome middle-aged man walked over and said coolly, "I am Cao Zhen, your supervising teacher. On this trip to the Leiyin Republic, you must remember not to disgrace the name of Shuijing High School."

"Yes, sir!" everyone responded in unison.

"Let’s go."

Led by Cao Zhen, the group boarded the plane and went directly to the first-class cabin.

「Three hours after takeoff.」

A sexy, blond-haired, blue-eyed flight attendant pushed a service cart into the first-class cabin.

"Excuse me, sir. Would you care for a beverage?"

The sexy flight attendant walked up to Shu Feng and asked politely.

"No," Shu Feng said.

The flight attendant smiled faintly. With an incredibly subtle flick of her finger, a hair-thin Poison Needle shot like a meteor toward Shu Feng’s neck.

It happened in an instant. Shu Feng had no time to react before the tiny Poison Needle struck him in the neck. His Defense Power was as high as 225. Once he circulated his Spiritual Power, not even a large-caliber bullet could break his skin. But caught completely off guard, his skin was pierced by the needle.

’Such terrifying Defense Power! A pity. Now that you’ve been hit by my Seven Flowers Poison Needle, you’re a dead man!’

A smug smile appeared on the lips of the flight attendant—Shari in disguise. Her one and only awakened Spiritual Ability was the Seven Flowers Poison Needle.

In a straight fight, Shari was at the absolute bottom of the Spirit Master Realm. But her Seven Flowers Poison Needle was exceptionally insidious. It was formed by gathering the potent venom of seven different poisonous flowers and fusing it with her Spiritual Ability, and she had used its uncanny power to assassinate countless Spiritualists far stronger than herself.

Shu Feng was a mere Spirit Warrior; he had no way of withstanding Shari’s Seven Flowers Poison Needle. Shari had even successfully assassinated experts at the Great Spirit Master Level in the past.

Shu Feng felt a numbness in his neck, and a paralyzing sensation rapidly spread outward from that point in all directions.

’Damn, an ambush! This is a potent poison! I have to use the power of my Blood Contract to transfer it to my contracted creatures.’

Just then, the Spiritual Power he had cultivated from the Sun and Moon Scripture churned within him. A phantom image of a Great Sun suddenly materialized and swept toward the poison.

Wherever the phantom Great Sun passed, the potent poison was incinerated. Once burned away, the poison transformed into nourishment for his Great Sun Spiritual Power, making it even more pure.

A notification suddenly echoed in Shu Feng’s mind:

"Poison Resistance +1!"

’This poison actually has an effect like this? It seems I don’t need to kill that assassin immediately after all!’

The killing intent in Shu Feng’s eyes vanished. He turned to look at Shari and smiled faintly. "I’ve changed my mind. I’ll have a glass of pure water."
