Chapter 140: Stealth Skill

The young girl’s name was Jiang Haixin. Noticing Zhang Ze’s complex expression, she couldn't help feeling a bit worried...

Could this guy possibly have some kind of mental issue?

Actually, at that moment, Zhang Ze was simply paying attention to the changes in his system.

With his gaze fixed on the skill column of the system interface, laughing foolishly out of thin air did indeed make him look somewhat problematic.

Skills: Shielding (11%), Inspect, Conceal.

Upon noticing this new skill, Conceal, Zhang Ze’s mind was already running wild with imagination.

Goodness gracious!

Concealment~

Is this the legendary invisibility?

Why does it feel like the system is guiding me to develop in a perverted direction?

After muttering to himself for a good while, Zhang Ze finally sensed something was amiss.

When the new skill was activated, he didn't vanish into thin air as he had imagined.

Moreover, Jiang Haixin didn't seem to feel that anything about him was strange.

Zhang Ze tested the waters and asked, "Didn't you notice anything different about me just now?"

Jiang Haixin furrowed her brow.

She thought to herself how truly unlucky she was; she had already ended up a prisoner, and yet her fellow captive was also a complete moron!

Still, Jiang Haixin nodded. "It doesn't seem any different..."

Zhang Ze felt a bit strange.

However, with a sudden turn of thought, he came up with an idea.

He hurriedly said to Jiang Haixin, "Do me a favor and close your eyes first~"

"What?"

"I said close your eyes!"

Zhang Ze repeated.

In Jiang Haixin's mind, this guy was definitely sick in the head.

It was best not to offend someone like this!

Right, just cooperate with him for now!

Having made up her mind, Jiang Haixin quickly followed Zhang Ze's instructions and closed her eyes.

Zhang Ze wore a wicked smile, his thoughts shifted, and the new skill, Conceal, activated.

Then, pursing his lips, this fellow crept toward the young girl like a stealthy cat.

Although Jiang Haixin was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, due to years of practicing martial arts, her figure was exceptionally well-proportioned, and her features were even more delicate.

Yet, with her Rank-4 cultivation base, she should normally have been able to sense Zhang Ze slowly creeping toward her.

Logically speaking, even if it were just an ordinary girl, if a guy puckered his lips and leaned in close to you, wouldn't you be able to feel his breathing even with your eyes closed?

Yet, a miraculous scene unfolded!

Jiang Haixin didn't notice it in the slightest!

Of course, Zhang Ze didn't actually kiss her.

"Cough, cough~"

A moment later, Zhang Ze gave a couple of light coughs, and Jiang Haixin slowly opened her eyes.

"What did you do?"

Although he had his suspicions, Zhang Ze asked with considerable excitement, "Did you really not notice anything at all just now?"

"Notice what?" Jiang Haixin was completely baffled.

Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, Zhang Ze couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart!

A divine skill!

This was definitely a divine skill!

Anqing City Administration Building.

"Still no news yet?"

The old man saw Wu Di's expression was grave, and he asked with a frown.

Wu Di shook her head and remained silent.

After a moment of contemplation, the old man probed, "Should I try contacting him?"

"That brat should be somewhere near Blood Moon City..."

"No need!"

Wu Di answered with absolute firmness!

Uncle and niece fell silent for a moment before Wu Di spoke up again to remind him, "Blood Moon City has been showing frequent abnormal activities lately. You should be more careful yourself. If necessary, contact those fellows on the surface as soon as possible~"

"Haha~"

The old man laughed heartily. "Rest assured, that old ghost of Blood Moon has been playing games with me for over ten years. The moment he sticks his tail up, I know what kind of trouble he's brewing!"

Wu Di didn't take up the conversation and walked straight away.

As her figure retreated, the old man's expression instantly grew much graver.

Anqing Martial Arts Administration.

Li Sanqing dialed a phone call. "Where are you?"

From the other end of the line came Lu Mingyu’s grumbling voice.

"What?"

"Treating me to a foot massage?"

Li Sanqing’s forehead darkened, and he retorted ungraciously, "I've broken through. I'm getting ready to go check out that treasure you mentioned before!"

"What?"

"You've broken through?"

Lu Mingyu was extremely shocked.

The two of them finished their call and quickly met up.

"Damn it~"

"You really are a freak!"

Lu Mingyu muttered curses upon realizing that Li Sanqing truly possessed a Rank-4 cultivation base now.

The latter frowned slightly instead and said, "How come I heard you lost to Shi Jin?"

"I went off to challenge their Capital Martial Arts Administration, and you were left home for barely a couple of days, yet you managed to disgrace yourself all the way to Shi Jin's doorstep?"

Lu Mingyu was left speechless by his two sentences.

However, after a brief silence, he quickly said, "That Zhang Ze you mentioned before, though, is absolute beast material!"

On his way back, Li Sanqing had already heard about Zhang Ze's "splendid achievements," so naturally, he didn't pursue the topic further.

Walking side by side, the two headed toward the Star Gate.

"Liu Zhanwei, you're going too far!"

A girl's gentle reprimand rang out.

Only then did Li Sanqing notice that the cold-looking girl not far away seemed to be Leng Bingbing, who had previously traveled with Zhang Ze!

Signaling Lu Mingyu, the two approached the scene.

At that moment, Leng Bingbing's path was being blocked by a young man, and her expression carried a hint of anger.

Looking at the young man, he had sword-like brows, star-like eyes, and short hair that made him look extremely spirited!

It was worth mentioning that this Liu Zhanwei possessed a Rank-4 cultivation base at such a young age, and rumor had it that he had military backing behind him.

Presumably, if this kid were completely ordinary, Leng Bingbing’s family wouldn't have asked her to meet him!

Liu Zhanwei wasn't angry at all; instead, he frowned and explained, "Bingbing, I truly like you. Even if you don't have any feelings for me for the time being, you don't need to deliberately avoid me, do you?"

"Who gave you permission to call me that?" Leng Bingbing's pretty face was as cold as frost as she rebuked him.

As Lu Mingyu and Li Sanqing drew closer, seeing Li Sanqing's furrowed brow, Lu Mingyu guessed what his companion was thinking.

"What's up?"

"Taken a fancy to this little sister?"

"Though I have to admit, she's delicate and pretty, not bad at all~"

Li Sanqing shot him an ungracious sideways glance. "I remember this girl was very close to Zhang Ze..."

"Zhang Ze?"

Lu Mingyu's eyes rolled around.

Without hesitation—he had loathed Zhang Ze for a long time anyway!

"Hey~"

Lu Mingyu barked at Liu Zhanwei, "Which grade and which student affairs department are you from? Don't you know the Martial Arts Administration is cracking down on harassment lately?"

"Openly hitting on a female student? Judging by your looks, you don't look like a good guy!"

Muttering under his breath, Lu Mingyu had already stepped in front of Leng Bingbing and said with a gentle smile, "Junior sister, don't be afraid. Senior will help you chase away this wolf!"

Leng Bingbing wasn't completely foolish; Lu Mingyu didn't look like much of a good guy either.

However, upon seeing Li Sanqing standing nearby, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Sanqing didn't just stand there either; he stepped forward and asked, "How come Zhang Ze isn't with you?"

"He... he seemed to have entered the Star Gate..."

The two of them furrowed their brows slightly.

No matter how refined Liu Zhanwei tried to be, he couldn't stand this interruption.

Frowning coldly, he retorted, "I am a provincial garrison commander, not a student of your Martial Arts Administration, so the two of you have no right to meddle in my business!"

With him speaking in that tone, naturally, being young men, neither of them was about to back down.

Lu Mingyu was even more aggressive, snapping, "I don't give a damn if you're a commander or a general, you can't go around harassing female students right here in my Anqing Martial Arts Administration!"

With the two of them clashing like this, the atmosphere instantly grew heavy with gunpowder.

Leng Bingbing didn't want to make a fuss and said sternly to Li Sanqing and the other, "Pay no attention to him. I have no desire to deal with him at all~"

"That's great then~"

"Junior sister, senior will walk you back to your dorms instead~"

Lu Mingyu said eagerly.
