6: Shadow Slayer

Lu Qianyuan returned to the stall and took out eight thousand yuan from his wallet, handing it to the vendor.

“I want that gray Battle Spirit.”

Seeing Lu Qianyuan directly take out eight thousand yuan, a long-lost smile immediately appeared on the boss's face.

He took the money and carefully counted it. After confirming it was correct, he picked up the Martial Spirit and handed it to Lu Qianyuan.

Just as Lu Qianyuan was about to put it into his bag, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Boss, I'll take everything here!”

Ye Yan rushed to the stall, panting as he spoke.

Running such a long distance in a short time, even as a first-order Spirit Master, left him breathless.

“Really?”

Upon hearing this, the boss's eyes immediately turned into two money symbols, and his hands unconsciously began to rub together.

Meanwhile, the Martial Spirit in his hand had already fallen into Lu Qianyuan's possession.

Lu Qianyuan examined the Martial Spirit in his hand, a playful smile on his face.

Relying on his replication ability, he could directly read the Spirit's abilities without absorbing it.

He had to admit, he had hit the jackpot this time.

Lu Qianyuan put away the gray Martial Spirit in his hand, preparing to continue browsing other places and, while he was at it, deal with the bodies of the crew-cut man and the others.

“Lu Qianyuan?”

Ye Yan looked at Lu Qianyuan's departing figure and suddenly called out.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianyuan stopped, then turned to look at Ye Yan, appraising him up and down.

He felt that the person looked somewhat familiar, like a former classmate.

However, it was the kind of classmate he had only seen and knew the name of, knowing nothing else about him.

His former self was a nobody in class, with no friends. It was quite surprising that Ye Yan could recognize him.

But based on his former self's memories, he was sure they weren't close, so he didn't need to worry about his identity being exposed.

“Cough cough, can you sell me the Martial Spirit in your hand?”

“I'm not selling it.”

Lu Qianyuan shook his head, directly refusing.

It wasn't that he couldn't sell this Spirit, but he needed to first copy all the abilities within it, and only then would he consider selling it.

“I can pay more.”

Ye Yan immediately tried to persuade him.

Although the probability was very low, and Lu Qianyuan wasn't the person rumored to have obtained the orange-quality Martial Spirit, Ye Yan didn't want to take any risks.

Even if it meant spending more resources, Ye Yan wanted to minimize the risk.

“I refuse.”

Lu Qianyuan said coldly again, and with that, he left.

Seeing Lu Qianyuan's firm attitude, Ye Yan could only give up on the idea.

There were more than a dozen gray-quality Martial Spirits here, and Lu Qianyuan only took one. Furthermore, in his previous life, the person who took the orange-quality potential Martial Spirit was not Lu Qianyuan.

If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to get that orange-quality Martial Spirit.

He should, right…

…

Lu Qianyuan circled around and then returned to the minivan.

He had not let the minivan leave the range of his Spiritual Perception, so he could confirm that no one had approached the minivan during his absence.

Now that he had eaten enough, it was time to dispose of the bodies and the minivan together.

Lu Qianyuan started the vehicle according to his memories from his previous life. Fortunately, the driving methods were similar, so Lu Qianyuan successfully drove the minivan away.

It was so late, no one would be checking vehicles.

Lu Qianyuan drove the minivan to a secluded sewer beside the city.

Then he stopped the car, made sure no one was around, and that no one had seen him, before throwing the four bodies into the sewer.

The rats in the sewer would help him dispose of the bodies very cleanly.

The flesh and blood of a Spirit Master were a great tonic for mutated beasts, and the sewer rats would not miss this feast.

To be safe, Lu Qianyuan disposed of the bodies in four different locations.

The rats in the four locations would quickly clear away the four bodies, leaving only a few bones.

As long as he also took care of Brother Bao at the end, he could ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Lu Qianyuan wandered around outside for a while, then drove the car to an abandoned factory.

Currently, he didn't know where to sell this thing, so he would deal with it later when he had time.

However, it was highly probable that he wouldn't come back to deal with it.

Lu Qianyuan returned to his home and began to examine his biggest gain of the day.

…

【Slayer of Shadows】

【Quality: Gray】

【Intermediate Blade Skill Enhancement (White): Increases damage of all blade-type abilities by 200%】

【Intermediate Agility Enhancement (White): Increases host's speed to a certain extent】

【Shadow Sever: Shadow Severing Slash (Green), can sever the enemy's shadow, causing the enemy to take the same damage as the shadow】

…

Lu Qianyuan hadn't expected such a big harvest just from going out for a stroll.

He had to say, his luck was really good. Of course, his Spiritual Perception also played an important role.

A normal gray Martial Spirit would absolutely not have three abilities; at most, it would have one.

And this Spirit not only had three abilities, but each one was of a relatively high grade.

Gray quality, yet not a single skill was gray; this seemed abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

The Slayer of Shadows didn't look like an ordinary Martial Spirit at all. It was more like an Advanced Martial Spirit whose quality had fallen.

It was a pity that Lu Qianyuan couldn't use other Martial Spirits. Their greatest use was to provide him with abilities.

Intermediate Agility Enhancement, this ability must be replicated; it was very useful to him.

As for the remaining two abilities, although they didn't fit Lu Qianyuan's power system, he naturally wouldn't give them up if they could enhance his strength.

It was just that there were too many skills, and it would take a lot of time to replicate them all.

During the process of replicating skills, Lu Qianyuan could not change the replicated skills, otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain.

If he replicated again, he would have to start over.

Therefore, if Lu Qianyuan wanted to replicate Hardening and Elementary Body Enhancement again, he would need to restart the replication process.

However, what made Lu Qianyuan curious was that Ye Yan seemed to have come prepared, likely targeting the Martial Spirit in his hand.

Lu Qianyuan had already checked the small stall with his Mental Energy, and there were no other powerful but problematic Martial Spirits.

So, without a doubt, Ye Yan was after the Slayer of Shadows in his hand.

But why would he know the whereabouts of the Slayer of Shadows?

This was worth investigating. Either he had received secret information, or he had foreknowledge.

Regardless of which it was, it proved that the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated.

Perhaps the opponent's ability was also a treasure for Lu Qianyuan. Lu Qianyuan wanted to replicate Ye Yan's ability to test his depth.

He could go to school tomorrow, and then he could try out Ye Yan's ability.

If Ye Yan's ability was very strong, he would replicate it. Maybe it could even give him a big boost.
