75: Chapter 75 You're resting, so let me do the hard work.

Mo Zixing looked at these three new traits, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

There was no need to analyze the purple [Rapid Metabolism].

It required external items to trigger, and the effect was quite mediocre.

It was just for taking a dump.

As for the golden trait [Blood Demon Great Law].

It seemed quite powerful.

As long as he dealt damage, he could recover health and mana.

But with his [Candle Dragon Bloodline (Red)], he could recover on his own without any prerequisites.

Even if he were heavily injured, he could heal himself rapidly.

This trait was even more dispensable to him.

Only the red quality trait [Sudden Killing Intent] possessed a unique Instant-kill mechanism.

Although the specific Instant-kill probability wasn't stated.

This mechanism alone was already a complete victory.

Not to mention, the rarity of a red trait was far higher than that of purple or golden traits.

If he missed it this time, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for the next.

I'll take it!

Mo Zixing commanded the System:

"Choose [Sudden Killing Intent]."

[[Sudden Killing Intent (Red)] Activated]

Mo Zixing slowly opened his eyes.

A cold and sharp killing intent erupted from him, sweeping through the entire small courtyard.

Not far away, Su Li only felt a chill all over, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

Her cultivation had now returned to Crystallization Level 3.

Yet in that instant, she actually felt a terrifying aura from Mo Zixing, who had just achieved a Breakthrough into Crystallization, that made it difficult for her to breathe!

It was a kind of subconscious warning.

As if even the slightest movement from her would trigger that fatal threat.

Su Li looked at Jiang Yuwei nearby.

Even though her small face was pale, she remained motionless.

Seeing this, Su Li didn't want to be outdone in front of Mo Zixing and forced herself to stand her ground.

After a moment, she realized the problem.

It didn't seem to be a matter of whether she could hold on or not.

It seemed her body simply couldn't move.

Mo Zixing stood up from the ground with a beaming smile and patted the dust off his robes.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

He looked at Jiang Yuwei, who was standing there like a small statue, and reached out to gently shake her arm:

"What's wrong, Yuwei? Why are you standing there like a fool?"

As soon as he touched her arm, the Junior Sister's legs went weak, and she collapsed into his arms.

Just now.

She had seemingly seen mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.

Mo Zixing was stunned for a moment and held her in his arms, his heart filled with doubt.

No way?

Is the killing intent of this trait that terrifying?

To scare Jiang Yuwei like this?

He glanced at Su Li not far away again.

Su Li was still standing there, her face covered by a black veil, showing no signs of anything unusual.

It seemed it had no effect on her.

Mo Zixing didn't think much of it. He lowered his head and patted the back of Jiang Yuwei in his arms, saying softly:

"It's fine now. I just broke through my Realm and my spiritual power wasn't stable, so I scared you."

"Go back to your room and have a good rest to recover."

He picked up the motionless Junior Sister and walked into the master bedroom.

He carefully placed her on the bed.

Seeing the young girl's breathing gradually steady, he turned around, closed the door, and walked out.

In the courtyard.

Su Li was still maintaining the same posture as before.

Mo Zixing walked over with light steps, reached out from behind, and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

A warm chest pressed against her.

Su Li slumped entirely into his arms.

Mo Zixing lowered his head and asked with a smile:

"So Elder Su was scared too?"

Su Li leaned against him and squeezed out a word from her throat:

"Terrifying."

"Is it really that terrifying?"

Even through the fabric, Mo Zixing could clearly feel her body trembling slightly.

"Really."

Su Li turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with lingering fear:

"That killing intent was too overbearing."

"Alright then, you should rest too."

Mo Zixing chuckled, but he didn't take her back to her room like he did with Jiang Yuwei. Instead, he took her hand and pushed her toward the stone table in the courtyard.

Su Li was pressed against the edge of the stone table by him, and she looked back at him in a panic:

"Weren't we going to rest? What... what are you doing?"

"You rest, so let me do the hard work."

Mo Zixing spread her hands and firmly braced them against the cold stone tabletop:

"I just broke through to the Crystallization Stage, so I need to properly feel what the spiritual power of the Crystallization Stage is like."

"You!"

Su Li's cheeks flushed with a layer of crimson, and she bit her lip as she turned back to glare at him:

"Indecent!"

"Your mouth says that, but your body isn't resisting at all."

Mo Zixing's hand slid down her waist, feeling her body's reaction, and he gave a low laugh:

"I see, Elder Su, you also really want to Cultivate properly, don't you?"

"Utter... utter nonsense!"

Su Li retorted with her neck stiffened.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and her hands braced on the table suddenly went taut.

The fabric slipped, revealing the marks left from the previous few nights on her shoulder.

Just then.

The sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

Immediately after, several knocks sounded.

An old but vigorous voice drifted in from outside the gate:

"May I ask which Disciple in the courtyard just broke through to the Crystallization Stage?"

It was Grand Elder Great Elder Qin Cangyue!

Su Li's body instantly froze.

All the blood in her body seemed to rush to her head at this moment, and she was so ashamed and angry she almost fainted.

She never imagined.

That the Grand Elder would actually come in person!

What made her collapse even more was.

Mo Zixing not only didn't stop his cultivation cycle.

But instead became even more intensive.

She had no choice but to laboriously use one hand to tightly cover her own mouth.

The courtyard gate was tightly closed.

And there were the three layers of protective Formations set up earlier to conceal their aura.

As long as they didn't make a loud noise, they wouldn't be exposed.

Su Li glared at him desperately, but her limbs were so weak she had no strength at all, leaving her at his mercy.

Mo Zixing cleared his throat and responded toward the courtyard gate in a steady voice:

"To the Grand Elder, it is Disciple Mo Zixing. I have just fortunately broken through to the Crystallization Stage."

"So it is you, little friend Mo."

Great Elder Qin Cangyue outside the gate laughed, his tone full of appreciation:

"I knew it. No one else could have such talent except for you, Liu Qingyan's newly acquired precious Disciple."

Just then.

Su Li couldn't hold it back.

A faint, broken groan leaked out from between her fingers.

Even though the sound was extremely soft, it couldn't be hidden from the ears of a Golden Core Stage Grand Elder.

Great Elder Qin Cangyue outside the gate paused, his tone carrying a hint of surprise:

"Oh? Elder Su is also in the courtyard?"

Su Li's face was so red it seemed to be on fire, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She bit her lip hard to prevent herself from making any more embarrassing sounds.

Mo Zixing didn't change his expression and responded with a smile:

"Yes. I have just broken through my Realm and still have many doubts regarding cultivation, so I specially invited Elder Su to the courtyard to teach me about swordsmanship and the intricacies of cultivation."

He lowered his head, leaned close to Su Li's ear, and whispered:

"Say hello to the Grand Elder, don't let it slip."
