“Ptooey!”
No one knew how much time had passed.
It felt like a split second, but it also felt like an hour.
Shu Ke got up from the ground slowly. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick blood-stained phlegm.
However, he did not seem injured.
Indeed, the attack did not affect him much.
“Good lord, I’ve already dug out the magic nucleus from you, and yet you can still move?”
Shu Ke shook his head in surprise. This Wolf King had indeed exceeded his expectations.
He had clearly dug out the Wolf King’s magic nucleus just now. Logically speaking, the Wolf King should have died immediately.
However, this guy actually gave him a last-ditch attack, and only then did he hit a good game.
This somewhat surprised Shu Ke.
“Exchange all the magic nucleus except for the Wolf King’s into energy points.”
The Wolf King’s magic nucleus was almost close to a tier 3 magic nucleus. It was only a matter of time before the Wolf King could evolve into a Tier 3 magic beast—the Flaming Fire Wolf.
The value of this magic nucleus was far beyond that of an ordinary tier 2 magic nucleus. But the system was, after all—a system.
No matter how close it was to Tier 3, in the eyes of the system, it was still a tier 2 magic nucleus.
Therefore, the system would only give the price of a Tier 2 magic nucleus.
If Shu Ke really exchanged the magic nucleus like this, then he would really be at a huge loss.
Therefore, Shu Ke kept this magic nucleus and planned to deal with it later.
‘The redemption is successful. 7000 energy points obtained.’
“What a coincidence.”
Shu Ke frowned. However, after careful calculation, there were really 14 Flaming Battle Wolves, other than the Wolf King.
‘Full restoration of the Dou Qi Conversion Method.’
Since he already had 7000 energy points, Shu Ke naturally spent all of them on the restoration of the Dou Qi Conversion Method.
It just so happened that he still had the Wolf King’s magic nucleus in his hand. He could use it to test how powerful the restoration of the Dou Qi Conversion Method was?
‘7000 energy points spent, repairing. Repair complete.’
Shu Ke—who was already prepared—was not affected by this huge information flow. He only frowned slightly and endured it.
“No wonder the profound Dou Qi Conversion Method is considered as a top secret treasure in all the big families. Compared to the ordinary one, this improved version actually would increase the conversion efficiency by over ten times. Moreover, it can reduce the utilization of mana in the magic nucleus and the loss of mana by several times!”
The Dou Qi Conversion Method was a technique that almost anyone who cultivated Dou Qi would learn.
It could turn magic power into Dou Qi. Especially when the magic from the magic nucleus is extracted into the Dou Practitioner’s body—it would speed up the cultivation.
There was a similar cultivation technique on the mages’ side, it was called meditation.
Generally speaking, this kind of technique was not considered precious and was very common.
But usually, some large families had their own unique Dou Qi Conversion Method. Now, this type of method was quite rare.
It also had many advantages—one that far surpassed the Dou Qi Conversion Method circulated outside.
In the past, Shu Ke did not know whether these things from those large families were valuable or not. But now, he finally understood. It was indeed very powerful!
“I need to find a place to train properly.”
After obtaining a brand new Dou Qi training method, Shu Ke did not care much. He immediately turned around and returned to the temporary hiding place that he had found before and began to start a new round of training.
…
The Vincent Family
“Does this mean that this brat Shu Ke can cultivate? Or did he suddenly have the ability to cultivate these two days? And even form connection with Toulon?”
The great elder—who had some matters to attend to—had just returned home when he overheard the third elder reporting on Shu Ke’s recent abnormal behavior. He suddenly frowned.
“When did this kid become so shrewd?”
The great elder thought about the Shu Ke that he had met not long ago. Shu Ke had shown a fierce expression in front of so many people from the Elder Council.
It did not seem like he was shrewd at all.
It had only been a few days? He suddenly surpassed everyone’s expectations. It was even possible that they might have been fooled by him.
“I’m not sure either, but judging from the current situation, this kid is definitely not simple. Boss, I’m worried that he might know something.”
The third elder’s face darkened when he heard this. He actually did not know much about what had happened back then. The only person who might know the truth was the great elder in front of him.
However, even though it was just a minor detail, it made the third elder hostile toward Shu Ke. He wanted nothing more than to get rid of Shu Ke.
“Know what? What could he know!?”
The first elder shook his head with a cold smile. However, there was a sense of doubt in his words. “At that time, he was not even one year old. What could he know?”
“Moreover, besides me, not many people know about this matter.”
The great elder thought for a long time and finally shook his head. He really could not think of any way to make a child—who was less than a year old back then—remember what had happened so many years ago.
Moreover, when the incident happened—this good-for-nothing—was not by their side at all. So it was even more impossible for him to know about this matter.
“Boss, the problem now is that this kid is very dangerous. We had previously made an agreement with him. If the academy really chooses him half a month later, we can—”
The third elder’s words were already very obvious
They had better to make a move on Shu Ke first, or else something would definitely happen.
“Where is this kid now? Is Toulon by his side?”
“He seems to have gone to the Noir Forest, and Mr. Dordak is not by his side either. At that time, Mr. Dordak might have acted on a whim to protect him.”
The third elder obviously still had some misgivings about Toulon, so he tried his best to remove Toulon from the picture.
“I think so.”
The great elder nodded and then fell into deep thought. “Noir Forest is a dangerous place. With so many mercenaries and adventurers dying every year, I think one more dead person won’t make a difference.”
Hearing this, the third elder immediately perked up. He hurriedly looked at the first elder. “Boss, you mean—”
“Spend some money and find a reliable mercenary group to settle things nicely.”
The great elder nodded and settled the matter.
“Originally, I just wanted to drive him out of the family, but since he wants to die, then I can’t blame anyone else!”
The great elder’s words were firm and decisive—full of killing intent.
It was clear that he was determined to make sure Shu Ke could not return.
“Yes!”
The third elder was also beaming with joy when he heard that. He could finally get rid of this bastard.
“I’ll go down and make arrangements immediately. This kid definitely won’t leave the Noir Forest alive!”
