136: Hate

The bustling Imperial Capital High-Speed Rail Station, VIP lounge.

Hearing the 'hmm-hmm-ah-ah' sounds coming from Silent Destruction, Lu Yuan was speechless.

Cooking again?

Han Junchen quickly indicated it wasn't him; due to the Power of Law, he couldn't speak and could only shake his head.

"Three top-grade spirit artifacts that have formed a connection?" Lu Yuan canceled the Power of Law.

"I was suffocating!"

Han Junchen said, then listened to the live broadcast of the 'cooking' with a strange expression.

The 'hmm-hmm-ah-ah' sounds continued until they arrived in Pengcheng via a Teleportation Array.

On the way to Pengcheng University, the 'cooking' finally ended.

A young man's voice came from Silent Destruction and silent nothingness.

"What is the meaning of human life?"

"Everything is nothingness, everything is meaningless, hehe, life, ah."

..."Sage mode is sage mode, what are you talking about!"

Han Junchen complained.

He was the same when he was first in the Rock Forest.

"Isn't your goal to become the most evil person in the world?"

A gentle female voice emerged, and the light from the two top-grade spirit artifacts simultaneously faded.

The special car sped on the elevated road, and the scenery outside the window flashed by quickly.

It was morning, and traffic was heavy. The driver was eating breakfast while waiting at traffic lights.

Lu Yuan looked at Han Junchen.

"Where did your silent nothingness come from?"

Silent Destruction was the first prize of the Martial Examination, and its origin was unknown.

Hearing sounds from the top-grade spirit artifact, Lu Yuan realized that three spirit artifacts came from the same source.

Silent Destruction, silent nothingness, and the top-grade spirit artifact in that person's hand were all crafted by the same person.

"My grandpa gave it to me," Han Junchen said.

Before Lu Yuan could ask, Han Junchen lowered his head.

"Grandpa died, he died on the battlefield when I was four years old."

The car window opened, and cold wind blew in.

Sensing Han Junchen's low spirits, Lu Yuan didn't press further.

As they were about to arrive at Pengcheng University, Han Junchen returned to his cheerful self.

"What effects does Silent Destruction have? My silent nothingness currently has two: gaining energy by making a fool of myself, and this energy can both increase cultivation speed and be stored."

Han Junchen pointed to the ferocious beast, pure white all over, resembling a lion but with two horns on its head.

"Another effect is a chance to make others' Spirit Skills fail."

Lu Yuan's gaze fixed on the snake-headed, human-bodied woman carved on silent nothingness.

He had experienced both effects of silent nothingness.

Once last night at the Prosperous Headquarters, and another time in the City of Chaos.

Before Han Junchen left, he had the snake-headed, human-bodied woman cover his head, causing the Evil Wolf Gang leader's Spirit Skills to fail multiple times.

"Silent Destruction also has two effects: one is to block three attacks, and the other is to store Spirit Skills," Lu Yuan said.

Blocking attacks refers to those from one major realm higher than oneself, which is the Transcendent Realm.

Once he breaks through to the Transcendent Realm, it will block three full-power attacks from a Domain Realm Expert.

That's why the Hall Master of the Tribunal Hall said that Silent Destruction was a top-grade spirit artifact that would accompany him throughout his life.

"It's more powerful than mine," Han Junchen said enviously.

Mainly, he had to make a fool of himself to gain energy, whereas Lu Yuan didn't have to do anything.

"Each has its strengths."

Lu Yuan didn't think silent nothingness was inferior to Silent Destruction; their effects were just different.

He was more curious about who the owner of that top-grade spirit artifact was, and who crafted the three top-grade spirit artifacts.

After parting ways with Han Junchen, Lu Yuan returned to his private villa.

First, he turned on the air conditioner for heat, then took a refreshing shower.

The TV was broadcasting the news.

The Female Host smiled as she reported on what happened last night in Pengcheng City Center.

[This station's reporter announces that Yi Jinsong, former chairman of Prosperous, and Xing Wenan, current chairman, colluded with demons and secretly conspired with the Great Shun Dynasty. The evidence is irrefutable.]

The screen switched to the list of names found during the search and the number of demon crystals and monster coress obtained.

In addition, there were records of collusion with the Great Shun Dynasty, such as helping Ancient Professionals collect information on the genius of huaxia, and so on.

Lu Yuan knew that these evidences were not found by the Censorate.

Instead, the Alliance Leaders pursued Lu Jingyuan and obtained them from Lu Jingyuan's hiding place.

After listing the deeds of Prosperous, the Female Host mentioned Lu Yuan.

The incident of Lu Yuan causing a ruckus in Pengcheng spread extremely fast, as countless residents took photos and recorded footage.

It had dominated the trending searches from last night until now!

"Informant Lu Yuan, to prevent Prosperous from continuing its evil deeds, went alone to the Prosperous Headquarters to stop them. Subsequently, the Elder of the Seven Alliances and One Hall and the Alliance Leaders arrived to assist."

Informant?

Lu Yuan knew this was the identity The Authorities gave him.

This meant that everything he did at the Prosperous Headquarters was based on the premise that he knew Prosperous was colluding with demons and secretly conspiring with the Great Shun Dynasty.

The rest was simple: the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce announced compensation for disturbing the public and promised to rebuild the Prosperous Headquarters within three months.

Additionally, the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce announced that it would take over the supply point business in the No Mans Land.

This time, it was a collaboration with The Authorities, and from now on, the supply point would be a semi-official organization.

Turning off the TV, Lu Yuan checked the system store.

Upon breaking through to the Law Realm and obtaining the Nine Vipers, the Head of Disaster, Lu Yuan heard a second mechanical, cold prompt.

That was the system store unlocking!

"So many good things?" Lu Yuan was dazzled.

The system store mainly consisted of two categories: items and Spirit Skills.

The items were bizarre, both in appearance and effect.

For example:

[Insincere Card: Using this item makes the target speak insincerely.]

[Note: Hehehe, this is a great item for distorting facts!]

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, meaning that when one wanted to say 'yes,' they would say 'no' instead?

"Interesting." Lu Yuan looked at the description of the [Insincere Card].

In addition, there were the pick-up artifact [Peach Blossom Card], the must-have for tough guys [Tough Guy Card]... After a brief browse of the item category, Lu Yuan looked at Spirit Skills.

Forbidden Curse!

They were all Forbidden Curses!

From the five elements to rare attribute Forbidden Curses, everything was available, and all were Heaven-tier Advanced!

Forbidden Curses also had grades. For example, Tang Jinghui's self-created Forbidden Curse: Exploding Flame Burns the Heavens was Heaven-tier Intermediate.

Heaven-tier Advanced had the highest power, covering a radius of a hundred miles, a true weapon of mass destruction!

Seeing so many Forbidden Curses, Lu Yuan was deeply moved, knowing that he was now equivalent to a ten-attribute Practitioner.

Ten Forbidden Curses cast simultaneously?

That scene would be as spectacular as could be!

"I need to go to the No Mans Land," Lu Yuan thought.

Whether Forbidden Curses or items, they all had to be exchanged using system points.

Obtaining system points was simple: hunting ferocious beasts and demons.

Of course, it could also be people!

Hunting Divine Power Realm ferocious beasts yields 100 system points, Law Realm yields 1000 points, and so on.

Exchanging any Forbidden Curse requires 100,000 system points.

For Lu Yuan, hunting ferocious beasts was not difficult; let alone Law Realm, Transcendent Realm was also within reach.

The key was how to find Law Realm ferocious beasts.

These ferocious beasts, which could already be called demon races, were very cunning, each more shrewd than the last.

After simply packing the essential items for the No Mans Land, Lu Yuan arrived at the campus's direct Teleportation Array to the No Mans Land.

"Brother Yuan!"

Lu Yuan heard a familiar voice.

He turned his head to see Xu Ruicheng, a teammate of Li Jinxue, both from Tianhua City.

Discovering Xu Ruicheng's cultivation was at Xuan Gang Realm Five-Star, Lu Yuan felt as if ages had passed.

He was already Law Realm Six-Star, while Xu Ruicheng, his contemporary, was only at Xuan Gang Realm.

Li Jinxue's cultivation was a bit higher, at Xuan Gang Realm Peak, about to break through to the Divine Power Realm.

"Brother Yuan, going to the No Mans Land?" Xu Ruicheng asked.

"Mm."

Lu Yuan responded, glancing at Li Jinxue, who was wearing a white down jacket and had her hair tied in a ponytail.

She was currently staring blankly at the statue of Principal Lao Qiyuan, her expression complex, her beautiful eyes flickering incessantly.

It was light snow in the early morning, but during the day, heavy goose feather snow began to fall in Pengcheng.

Watching Li Jinxue look at the statue of Principal Lao Qiyuan, Lu Yuan keenly caught a strong sense of hatred, and... intense killing intent!
