214: A dog bite will heal

Chapter 214: A Dog Bite Would Do the Trick

Then, under everyone's gaze, the Evil-Suppressing Guardian tattoo on his back glowed with a white, ethereal light.

Following this, a blurry phantom of the Evil-Suppressing Guardian appeared around Zhang Mazi, trailing him like a shadow.

At this sight, everyone present gasped in astonishment.

Xu Lu didn't waste any words and immediately summoned a gold scroll Evil-Suppressing Guardian to spar with Zhang Mazi.

The two sides actually fought back and forth.

One must know, that was a six-star gold scroll Evil-Suppressing Guardian!

"He can already contend with a gold scroll?" Xu Lu's shock was palpable. "My goodness, this, this, this..."

"Can it be upgraded further?" Wu Xian asked Tattoo Bro, who was standing nearby.

"Probably not," Tattoo Bro shook his head. "Human body scrolls are different from my other Decoration. It's already very difficult for them to remain intact on the human body. Trying to deepen them further would likely be more trouble than it's worth."

Wu Xian understood. Once a human body scroll was formed, it couldn't be altered haphazardly.

Although it couldn't be deepened or enhanced further, a person could have more than one tattoo.

Moreover, the power of these tattoos could be stacked.

While a Spirit Master could also control multiple scrolls, the power of each scroll was independent of the others.

"Are there still restrictions on physical fitness?" Wu Xian pressed.

"Yes," Tattoo Bro nodded. "And the tattooing process will be even more painful. According to Brother Zhang, it's like carving on the Soul with a carving knife, extremely painful."

"Soul carving?"

Wu Xian and Cui Wenxuan exchanged glances, falling into deep thought.

From a certain perspective, human body scrolls might indeed be a form of sculpting and shaping at the Soul level.

Subsequently, Cui Wenxuan meticulously examined Zhang Mazi's Soul state, further confirming this conjecture: "So it is!"

On the phantom of Zhang Mazi's Sea of Consciousness Soul, similar patterns to the Evil-Suppressing Guardian also appeared.

Strangely, Tattoo Bro's previous Decoration did not manifest on Zhang Mazi's Soul.

This indicated that those power Decoration only acted on the human body, while human body scrolls delved deep into the tattoo recipient's Soul.

"It's somewhat similar to the legendary Blood Axis Integration into Life," Cui Wenxuan mused.

"Blood Axis Integration into Life?" Xu Lu said in surprise. "The Ancient Scroll from legends?"

"Exactly," Cui Wenxuan nodded. "Legend has it that the blood-colored life axis of an Ancient Scroll can perfectly integrate the power of a painting spirit into the body, making it a part of one's own strength."

Xu Lu clicked her tongue in wonder.

But Wu Xian clearly knew that human body scrolls were not the same as the God of Wealth possessing someone.

Zhang Mazi's current situation was more like the integration of scroll power, and Zhang Mazi himself was like a special vessel for the scroll's power.

However, the [Blood Axis Integration into Life] of a natal Ancient Scroll was more like a perfect Fusion from within.

Or rather, Wu Xian and his natal God of Wealth were originally one.

After all, Ancient Scrolls were forged from one's own blood Qi and Soul.

"As long as I give you the scroll designs and ideas, you can tattoo them, right?" Wu Xian asked excitedly.

"Mm," Tattoo Bro nodded. "But the scroll concept needs to be adjusted for a period of time."

Wu Xian understood, his heart already eager to try.

"Little Wu wants to try too?" Cui Wenxuan asked in surprise.

"Don't you?" Wu Xian countered.

"I do, but," Cui Wenxuan seemed a bit helpless, "from the current situation, after being transformed by a human body scroll, one can no longer control or use scrolls."

"Ah?" Wu Xian's eyes widened in shock.

Tattoo Bro and Xu Lu exchanged glances, nodding helplessly.

Cui Wenxuan explained, "Currently, Little Zhang's Soul, body, and even the spiritual energy structure within him have undergone fundamental changes. He can no longer control scrolls normally."

With that, he casually pulled out a scroll and threw it to Zhang Mazi to try.

Zhang Mazi held the scroll, an awkward and helpless expression on his face. "Neither spiritual energy nor Mental Energy can penetrate it."

Seeing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel regret. "Can Tool Scrolls not be used either?"

"Apparently not," Zhang Mazi spread his hands helplessly. "My previous Tool Scrolls are completely unusable now. I guess you win some, you lose some."

A flash of inspiration struck Wu Xian, and he pulled out Wang Xiaocong's [Yin Sha Ghost Sword]. "Try this."

Zhang Mazi took the Yin Sha Ghost Sword with a puzzled expression, his eyes instantly lighting up.

Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, the scroll in his hand unfurled in a flash of spiritual light, transforming into an exceedingly sinister and evil long sword, appearing in Zhang Mazi's hand.

"This, this, this..." Cui Wenxuan and Xu Lu were clearly shocked.

"I remember now, you guys used this kind of Tool Scroll in the battle arena competition before," Xu Lu quickly recalled.

"So that's how it is," Wu Xian analyzed with sudden understanding. "It seems Brother Zhang Mazi is currently in a semi-human, semi-painting spirit state."

Since he was half a painting spirit, he naturally couldn't use other painting spirits.

But Wang Xiaocong's Tool Scroll was different; it could be used by other painting spirits.

This way, the equipment problem for human body scroll warriors was also solved.

"Is this the new type of Tool Scroll that kid from the Wang Family researched?" Cui Wenxuan couldn't help but be surprised.

"How did you know?" Wu Xian was startled.

One must know, Wang Xiaocong's situation had always been kept confidential. Could it be that someone in the Club leaked the news?

Cui Wenxuan chuckled, "The army started equipping them right after. I'm not stupid, and the Wang Family has always been known for their Tool Scrolls."

Wu Xian suddenly understood and took the opportunity to inquire, "Speaking of which, what do you think of Old Master Wang Fengnian? And what's the background of the Wang Family?"

"I'm not really sure about that," Cui Wenxuan shook his head. "I only know that Old Master Wang has a very deep military background and some connections with the Tiangong Taoist Temple.

From my observations over the years, Old Master Wang is not simple at all, and he must be hiding something big. You should be a little careful in the future, so you don't get involved."

Wu Xian nodded slightly, not saying much.

After all, for him, he would rather trust Old Master Wang a bit more.

As for the so-called "big matter," it was probably no longer a question of getting involved or not.

After some pleasantries, it was already getting late.

Before leaving, Cui Wenxuan suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, my little disciple, how do you think my Evil-Suppressing Immortal Master has been adjusted recently?"

Wu Xian looked at the white-robed Evil-Suppressing Immortal Master beside Cui Wenxuan in surprise.

Indeed, it did have a few more hints of a slightly tipsy and uninhibited feeling, but it was still quite a distance from the true Lu Zu.

"Perhaps it still needs a dog bite, who knows."

After some thought, Wu Xian left a cryptic Dharma Eye and departed with a teasing smile.

Only Cui Wenxuan was left standing there, bewildered and utterly perplexed.

"A dog bite?" Cui Wenxuan pondered, vaguely remembering something. "Could it be that the Wang Family people are causing trouble again?"

Was his little disciple setting conditions for him?

First help them deal with that kid from the Wang Family, and then he would give him further pointers?

Hmm, that must be what he meant.

So young, yet so many schemes.

But then again, his little disciple's spiritual insight and Genius in the Dao of scrolls were truly remarkable.

When he first heard that sentence, he hadn't thought much of it, but after trying to adjust his concept, he realized that the Evil-Suppressing Immortal Master could indeed be optimized in that direction.

This was the spiritual insight and Genius of a Scroll Master.

Many times, a problem you've racked your brain over for a lifetime, a true Genius can simply glance at it and see where the problem lies.

"Nothing to do today, so I'll just take a stroll to the Outworld Outpost and see how it's been developing recently."

And so, Cui Wenxuan unhurriedly made his way to the Netherworld Outpost...
