Chapter 318.

Inside this room that belonged solely to Zhou An, at this moment, words that only Zhou An could see gradually emerged before his eyes.

The smoke was still drifting away, and when the words appeared, the choices also appeared in front of him.

[Please choose a direction]

[Read Ten Thousand Scrolls: Spirit +12, Understanding +12, Bounce +12, Literary Spell +24]

[Book of Chaos: Destruction +12, Chaos +12, Pollution +12, Polymerization +24]

Two choices, two directions, lay before Zhou An.

Zhou An looked at the two choices and first eliminated the second option.

The second option, did not add the original attributes, and those attributes, Zhou An could not understand at all.

The skill of Reading Ten Thousand Scrolls was more in line with his choice.

Thinking of this, without hesitation, Zhou An chose Read Ten Thousand Scrolls.

When he finished choosing, the smoke in front of him curled up and eventually turned into a green smoke, turning into countless information that was transmitted into Zhou An’s mind.

When this information was transmitted within his mind, Zhou An closed his eyes and patiently began to absorb it.

After about a few breaths of effort, when Zhou An had finished absorbing the information, he opened his eyes, and a flash of regal splendor flashed through his eyes.

First of all, the Qi in his body had made great strides again, and the range covered by his Divine Soul was even wider.

Nowadays, he only had the divine souls of his legs left, not all of which were covered.

After livering Sneaky Fishing and Xingfeng Wave to the ninth level, he would be able to completely cover all of his divine souls, and at that time, it would be the time when he would reach the All Saints realm.

Of course, the increase in strength was one aspect, and the other aspect came from the fierceness of the skill of Reading Ten Thousand Scrolls.

Those first three attributes aside, it was just a double boost.

To say the most interesting, it was still that last attribute.

“This attribute of Literary Spell, it seems a bit strong.”

Zhou An pondered, then raised his right hand.

The black longsword, through the writhing of the Gold Transformation Ring, eventually appeared before his eyes.

Zhou An held the long blade in his backhand, while his other hand took on the appearance of a sword pointing.

As he made this movement, a burst of air ran through his body.

He cast the skill of Reading Ten Thousand Scrolls and reached out to wipe his hand across the black longsword.

In the next moment, a golden pattern appeared on the black long sword.

This pattern looked extremely complicated and was made up of one small character after another.

But even though it was so complicated, when the small words were pieced together on this long knife, it gave off an extremely harmonious feeling.

This was the Man Spell Attribute.

Adding 24 was a 24-fold increase in strength.

Not only was the Man Mantra able to increase attack skills, it was even able to increase defense skills, and most outrageously, it could also be used on top of each of his skills.

This was tantamount to taking all the skills and boosting them all.

Zhou An didn’t want to count how much all of his additions were right now, but it was estimated to be a few hundred times.

He felt as if he was now able to cross two realms and cut down even the peak Absolute Enlightenment Realm.

Thinking about this, as he had obtained a new skill, Zhou An also had a hot fire in his heart and began to test it out.

On his body, a burst of golden light rose, and above the golden light, there were also text incantations flashing.

Zhou An then cast Demonic Shadow Ten Thousand, and between the bursts of shaking, there were also golden text incantations constantly fluttering about.

These text incantations, when he used them, would appear randomly and grant bonuses to every skill, including his Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body.

Terrifying bonuses like these were what Zhou An needed the most.

After playing with all the abilities, all of them, Zhou An’s side was considered to have had enough, and only then did he stop.

In front of his eyes, the smoke shook for a while, and the latest attribute panel, surfaced in front of him.

[Armor Breaking Evil Suppressor Blade lv.9 (Speed +24, Accuracy +24, Sharpness +24, Defense Breaking +24): 1/160000]

[Trick Fishing lv.5 (Harvest +4, Unknown +4): 1/80,000]

[Holding Breath lv.2 (Concealment +1): 1/20000]

[Storage Proficiency: 70,000/100,000]

Looking at these skills in front of him, Zhou An fell into thought.

Nowadays, only Xingfengzhu and Guile Fishing were left.

Rising Winds and Waves was a level 7 skill, while Trick Fishing was only level 5, although it seemed like a lot, it was not a big problem.

The current stored proficiency, had also reached seventy thousand, so it wouldn’t take long for the liver to be able to use it again.

Zhou Xin thought to himself and felt that it would be better for him to first liver Xingfengmu.

Because at the moment, this skill, can only be regarded as a fishing skill, and does not have any real combat bonuses.

But the wind and waves, can be used in actual combat.

Moreover, the wind and waves were much faster than the qualitative change.

The doubling of the attributes of the qualitative change and the terrifying ability it brought was what Zhou An wanted to have.

It was more appropriate in terms of both reason and sentiment.

Thinking of this, Zhou An no longer hesitated and began to look for a place to liver New Wind and Waves.

This ability naturally required water.

And not long ago, within this room, a particularly large puddle of water had already been prepared for him.

After all, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce had come over, and as one of Zhou An’s staunchest partners in the early days, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was the most knowledgeable about Zhou An’s temperament, so this puddle of water had also been built particularly quickly.

Zhou An held Black Jade’s hand and then came to this watering hole, looking at the clear water inside, and fell into deep thought.

Since he was going to liver, it definitely had to be a different way, or else this proficiency wouldn’t be able to go up.

Zhou An still vaguely remembered that the last time he livered to make waves, he jumped into the water to perceive his affinity with the water.

This time, he wanted to try and reach out to a deeper level.

Last time, the affinity was only for the surface.

This time, if he went deeper, he wondered if it would work better.

Thinking of this, Zhou An did not hesitate to jump into the water.

When he had jumped into the water, he was about to exert the air in his body to feel the affinity of the water when he heard another fluttering sound coming from him.

Black Jade also jumped into the water, then swam left and right, and then started talking nonsense.

“Lovebirds …….”

Before the third word could be said, Zhou An covered his mouth.

“One day of not cleaning you up, and you’re up in the house?” Zhou An pressed Black Jade’s shoulders and knocked her head.

Black Jade wasn’t afraid, and even followed Zhou An’s hand and wrapped her arms around him.

Zhou An had no choice but to let Black Jade do this.

But he also immediately tightened his mind and began to feel it.

Last time, he had improved his proficiency, but when he felt the affinity of water, it was too superficial.

This time, then, it would be counting towards the deeper side.

Since he wanted to go deeper, Zhou An wanted to experience the degree of affinity between water and air.

Thinking about this, Zhou An began to try it out as he thought.

This way of trying was actually not very difficult for him nowadays.

When he tried to release the air to feel the affinity of the water, the proficiency level started to rise upwards.

“It’s working!”

Zhou An Xin said excitedly.

Since it was able to rise upwards, then it was effective and could continue to liver on.

Thinking of this, Zhou An also didn’t hesitate and began to liver up the skill Xingfengzhu.

At this moment, in this courtyard, the scene before him was a bit strange.

In the puddle, Zhou An and Black Jade were both hugging each other, with the water only reaching their chests.

Black Jade pressed her head against Zhou An’s chest, and every now and then, she buried her head into the water and spat out a few bubbles.

And Zhou An’s face was calm, as if he was doing something.

Time passed minute by minute, in this courtyard, the moonlight sprinkled on the water, this particular scene, but it was extraordinarily cozy.

Zhou An’s side was livering his proficiency, at this moment, not far away from Zhou An, in a place, there was a group of people, silently hiding in the dark streets.

The dress of this group of people was very ordinary, all of them were wearing ordinary people’s clothes.

At first glance, they looked like commoners.

However, if one were to look closely, one would realize that they carried that kind of aura of people in the jianghu.

Everyone was hidden in the darkness, talking in whispers.

“Now that the entire Great Qi Kingdom, has fallen, is it useful for us to do this?” One of the Jianghu people asked.

At the head of the group, was a big man with a full beard and a pugnacious aura.

Even though he was wearing ordinary people’s clothes, it was hard to hide it.

When he heard the person next to him say this, he turned his head back and glared angrily, “Even though His Majesty is gone, we can’t let them have a good time.”

These people, they were the so-called remnants of the remnants.

They still embraced the former Great Qi State, so they had been hiding in the shadows, causing trouble.

This was actually a very normal thing.

In this world, there were people who were wallflowers, and there were also people who had always maintained stubborn notions that would not waver.

This group of people belonged to that kind of stubborn remnant.

At this moment, their purpose here was to deal with Zhou An.

Zhou An had looked for a place that was relatively far away from the Imperial Palace of the Great Qi Kingdom in order to have a clean slate, as well as to make his Liver Proficiency, more inconspicuous.

For him, there was nothing dangerous.

After all, in the current Jianghu, those who dared to offend him were simply few and far between.

Therefore, this also made this group of people’s hearts, give birth to new ideas.

To deal with other people, they might not have the guts to do so, let’s say Eunuch Wei and those people.

After all, they would die immediately after they appeared.

But against Zhou An, they were still somewhat certain.

In fact, for these remnants of the Great Qi Kingdom, the extent to which they hated Zhou An was not low at all.

It was because if it wasn’t for those few times that Zhou An had done something, the Great Qi Kingdom would have been far from ending up in such a state as it was today.

Emperor Yun Qi would not have been able to cure his illness, and he would not have been able to send his troops to the Barbarian Kingdom.

So nowadays, Zhou An has quite a lot of enemies, but most of them don’t dare to come over at will.

The burly man’s name was Liu Dezhong, and he knew very well in his heart that the reason he came over was because there was someone behind him.

Thinking of this, Liu Dezhong turned his eyes over to the end of these people.

At the end of this group of people, there was a man shrouded in black robes, who was lowering his head without saying a word.

At this moment, seemingly sensing Liu Dezhong’s gaze, the black-robed man lifted his head up.

In those eyes, there was a feeling that made Liu Dezhong feel icy cold all over.

It was not a killing aura, but a twilight and stale feeling after years of baptism, as if he was facing a terrifying existence that had come over from the river of years.

This sense of terror, coming from the heart, caused Liu Dezhong to hurriedly turn back his gaze, but his mind recalled the person he had encountered that day.

On that day, he was evading the pursuit of the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom, and right in the middle of a wilderness, he encountered this man shrouded in black robes.

On this man, he still carried that sense of age, and when he heard the voice, he struck out to finish off all the people chasing him.

Afterwards, in Liu Dezhong’s fearful sight, this man inquired about some of today’s circumstances.

When Liu Dezhong told all of the situation, the black-robed man then said that he could give him a hand.

Liu Dezhong didn’t know how to answer, but he was afraid of this black-robed man, and especially afraid of the aura of the black-robed man that was in the middle of the years, so he agreed.

He also had no way to not agree, if in case he did not agree, the other party directly killed him, he had no place to say reason to go.

Afterwards, the black-robed man said that since we all wanted revenge, we should go and kill Zhou An first.

After Liu Dezhong heard this, he was immediately moved, and the hatred in his heart instantly rose up.

There was no way to refuse the matter of killing Zhou An for stubborn people like these.

Therefore, he led his people to the original capital of this Great Qi Kingdom and also found Zhou An’s location.

Zhou An’s location was indeed very easy to find, and he did not hide it, so when it was found, an ambush was immediately carried out.

At this moment, Liu Dezhong turned his head, waved his hand, and without any nonsense, slowly said, “All of you, there’s no need to bother about this.”

He could sense that on the black-robed man, aside from that sense of age and twilight, there was also a hint of a murderous aura that was spreading.

When Liu Dezhong finished saying this, the group did not continue to talk about anything else, but took advantage of this dark night to rush towards Zhou An’s location.

Due to the fact that it was already nighttime, there were not many people present on the road, and on their way, they arrived at Zhou An’s house quite smoothly.

There was no one on guard here, because Zhou An’s strength nowadays, he didn’t need people to guard here for protection.

After all, those who were protecting were not as strong as Zhou An.

And when Liu Dezhong and the others arrived outside this house, the black-robed man who hadn’t said anything, suddenly spoke.

“He has already discovered you guys.”

When these words were spoken, Liu Dezhong was slightly stunned.

The black-robed man continued, “He has some sort of ability to detect the surroundings, but it’s fine, I also thank you all for bringing me to this place.”

The words fell, and before Liu Dezhong could speak, the next moment, Liu Dezhong felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he realized that there was an additional yellowish silk thread in his chest.

This silk thread vacated from his chest, and the other end of the thread was connected to the black-robed man’s hand.

Not only him, but even the other remaining members of the Great Qi Kingdom were all penetrated by this pale yellow silk thread at this moment.

“Why?”

Liu Dezhong turned his head, his face becoming incomparably agonized.

“Because, he has a higher role than you guys, so you guys will have to die.”

As the words fell, the pale yellow silk thread, shook slightly.

The remaining members of the Great Qi Kingdom present immediately turned into a pile of ashes.

The black-robed man came to the door and placed his hand on it.

The wooden door, immediately fell apart in pieces, while the scene behind the door unfolded.

Zhou An was holding Black Jade and carrying a long black sword in his right hand, and was tilting his head as he sized up the black-robed man.

When they arrived in front of this house, Zhou An’s Eye of Chaos had already detected the abnormality.

He liked to keep it on all the time, because for him, there was no loss in keeping the Eye of Chaos on all the time.

On the contrary, it could also give him a higher sense of security.

So after discovering this black-robed man and that group of people, he hadn’t continued his liver to make waves, but instead came to the courtyard to wait.

He didn’t expect that the black-robed man would be able to discover the detection of the Eye of Chaos as well.

But he was now more interested in the identity of the black-robed man.

There was no other reason, even someone like Liu Dezhong could sense the aura of age on the black-robed man, let alone Zhou An.

Zhou An felt that this fellow should be some sort of ancient figure of the era that had lingered on until the present moment.

“Who are you?” Zhou An lifted his long sword and asked, “It seems that coming over to me on this trip should be big trouble coming my way.”

“Who am I? You wouldn’t recognize it even if you said it.”

A smile appeared on the black-robed man’s ordinary face.

Around his body, pale yellow silk threads, densely coiled, looked extremely terrifying.

“I came to find you because I want you to cooperate with us.”

“Cooperate, how?” Zhou An looked up and down at the black-robed man with a hint of flirtation in his tone, “How do you want to cooperate?”

“You have two choices.” The black-robed man looked calm, “The first one is to become one of us, and in the future, if you unify the world, you will be rewarded with an official title, which is not a beautiful thing.”

“What about the second?” Zhou An continued to ask.

When the black-robed man heard these words from Zhou An, the sense of age on his body became even stronger, and there was more of a murderous aura, “The second option, is even simpler, and that is for me to kill you, to announce our arrival.”

The golden threads, swaying with the wind, were densely packed, and each one was permeated with a terrifying killing aura.

Zhou An smiled, “After talking for so long, I still don’t know what you are and what your name is? You started off by saying that you didn’t want me to know, but if I’m going to join, I have to know what place I’m going to join.”

The black-robed man furrowed his brows and snorted coldly, “My nickname, named the Money Monarch, perhaps you haven’t heard of it, but that doesn’t matter as it will soon become famous throughout the world, as for our power, have you ever heard of the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms?”

When these words were finished, Zhou An’s eyes, slightly narrowed.

He finally realized why this guy had a sense of age.

“So it was the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms, the era that metastasized down.” Zhou An said indifferently, “It seems that there are still quite a few of you, otherwise you wouldn’t have come forward.”

The Money Monarch sneered, “What does this have to do with you? You only need to tell me your choice now.”

Zhou An pondered slightly before then suddenly asked, “Is there a third choice.”

The Money Monarch froze slightly, “A third choice, what do you want to choose?”

“Are you an ordinary Ascension Realm?” Zhou An faintly said, “So, just think that you can completely pin me down.”

The Money Monarch shook his head, “I know your information, that group of people just now, told me about you, even if you can cross two realms, you can’t cross the third realm.”

“You will never know what level the so-called Ascension to Heaven is.”

“It seems that your choice, has already been made, since that’s the case, then I’ll choose for you, then choose the second one, and use your death to signal our arrival.”

As soon as these words were uttered, the battle began immediately, and Zhou An also knew that the title of the other party’s Monetary Gentleman, was due to what exactly.

Those pale yellow silk threads were actually strung with one copper coin after another.

Each copper coin, looked extremely tiny, but when the copper coins began to shake, a powerful wave of sound echoed through this courtyard.

Terrifying threads, densely packed as if they were yellowish hair with a foul aura, swept towards Zhou An.

Under the shaking of the money, the speed accelerated a few more points.

The air was cut with a sharp sound, which was a reflection of the speed reaching its extreme.

Zhou An raised an eyebrow, then swung his long blade out.

Behind him, the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body twenty meters tall emerged.

At the same time, on Zhou An’s body, as well as the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body’s body, there was one terrifying text incantation after another spread all over it, forming one pattern after another that hovered over it.

With a single swing of the blade, all the skills reached their peak in this instant.

The auburn-colored blade light descended from the sky.

Those copper coins that were strung together by pale yellow silk threads were cut into countless ruins in an instant.

And at that moment, Zhou An stepped forward, and with a stab of his long knife, the auburn-colored blade light steeply lengthened, breaking through the countless threads of silk and copper coins, and stabbing straight towards the chest of the Money Monarch.

The Money Monarch stared with wide eyes, his face full of incredulity.

He felt a wave of death that was gradually approaching him ever closer.

He roared angrily, then raised his right hand, and a palm-sized piece of copper coin was held up against the ebony-colored blade light.

“How is this possible?”

“That’s three great realms!”

The Money Monarch was filled with shock.

The corner of Zhou An’s mouth rose slightly, “Thanks to you, I have another standard to judge my strength.”

If he didn’t have the boost from reading ten thousand scrolls, perhaps he wouldn’t have been able to cross this much.

But he had the Man Mantra attribute, enough to increase it by another twenty-four times on top of what he had before, and the degree of terror could be imagined.

This was the number of times, not the number of layers.

At this moment, Zhou An seemed like he could really arm wrestle with an ordinary Heaven Ascension Realm.

“Old things, you should be dormant for ages and should not wake up.”

“In that case, I will see you off.”

Zhou An’s long blade, approached towards the front.

Money, cracks began to appear.
