Lanling did not know how long he had been unconscious. In his dream, he clearly felt the demon star continuously releasing energy into his brain and eyes.
Lanling knew that this was the demon star improving his spiritual power.
After waking up, Lanling did not immediately open his eyes. Then he suddenly discovered a very strange thing.
That is, although he was keeping his eyes closed, he could still see things, or rather sense things.
At this moment, he was lying by the side of a lake. Not far away there were two squirrels. Most importantly, about three metres away from him sat a woman, an incomparably beautiful woman. Although what he could sense with his eyes closed was only an outline, even that outline was already breathtakingly beautiful.
This woman was the peerless beauty who had rescued him from the dark shadow spider queens cave. Her name was Alo.
This is too, too mysterious. Lanling was extremely astonished.
Demon star, how much spiritual power do I have now? Can I lock onto a target three hundred metres away? Lanling asked.
Three hundred metres? Three hundred metres is no problem. The demon star said, Your current spiritual power cultivation has already reached the level of a ninth grade cultivator and is about to step into the mid rank cultivator level.
Cultivators refer to people who specialise in cultivating spiritual power. Most of these people serve in the Dragon God Temple.
So much? Lanling was overjoyed. The graduation examination only required spiritual power to reach one hundred and fifty metres, yet after swallowing the spiritual power of the dark shadow spider queen he could now lock onto targets three hundred metres away.
The demon star said, The dark shadow spider queen swallowed the brains of countless people to improve her spiritual power. After you completely swallowed her spiritual power, the improvement is astonishing. Even after refining and absorbing it, only one percent of the spiritual power could become your own spiritual power, but that is still far beyond the level of a mid rank cultivator. However, your brain and body can only withstand so much spiritual power baptism for the time being. So I took the liberty of using the remaining spiritual power to improve your spiritual talent.
The demon star had said before that spiritual talent and spiritual power are different.
To give a simple example, a person with high spiritual power can perceive and lock onto more distant targets. But a person with high spiritual talent can lock on more precisely, consume less spiritual power and dragon power, and can lock onto more targets at the same time.
Of course, that is not all. Most importantly.
People with high spiritual talent make twice the effort for half the result when cultivating sword techniques, techniques, or spells. This point is the most important.
Therefore, spiritual talent is the most core talent and the most important talent.
Originally, Lanlings spiritual talent was around 7.5, which could be considered one in a thousand, but definitely not top tier.
What is my spiritual talent now? Lanling asked.
8.1. The demon star said, It is already one in ten thousand.
Lanling said, If the spiritual talent reaches 9.9, what will happen?
The demon star said, No matter how difficult the sword technique or martial art, you will learn it in one go. No matter how complex or profound the enemys moves are, you will be able to see the flaw at a glance.
Lanling immediately clicked his tongue in amazement. This is truly extraordinarily heaven defying.
Lanling continued, Has my arm strength reached three hundred jin?
The demon star said regretfully, No, it is still two hundred and fifty jin, because the dark shadow spider queen was all spiritual power.
His arm strength is still fifty jin short of the target? There are only a little over twenty days left until the graduation examination, and the journey back will take another four or five days.
In that case, time is really very, very tight.
…
Since you have already woken up, why have you not opened your eyes yet? The womans clear and ethereal voice sounded.
Lanling opened his eyes and immediately saw an incomparably beautiful face. She was sitting on a tree branch with her feet dangling into the water. Her eyes were not looking towards Lanling. Her figure was truly graceful and peerless, especially those jade like feet, which were simply mesmerising.
Lanling stood up and bowed as he said, Thank you, miss, for saving my life.
While bowing, Lanling asked in his heart, Demon star, how high is this womans martial arts? In the cave earlier, she was actually able to fight the dark shadow spider queen evenly.
Dragon warrior. The demon star said.
Lanling immediately clicked his tongue in amazement. Although he did not know exactly how powerful a dragon warrior was, he knew that he was not even a first grade warrior yet, and only after breaking through ninth grade warrior would one become a mid rank warrior.
Mid rank warriors are further divided into nine stars. Only after breaking through ninth star mid rank warrior does one reach high rank warrior.
High rank warriors are divided into nine grades. Only after breaking through ninth grade high rank warrior does one reach dragon warrior.
His sworn brother Suo Hanyi broke through to dragon warrior at the age of twenty seven and was regarded as a rare genius unseen in a hundred years in the entire Tianshui City. Yet the Alo in front of him was probably only in her early twenties. She was truly too heaven defying.
Alo turned her head, revealing half of her face, beautiful enough to take ones breath away.
Who saved whom is still hard to say. Alo said.
Lanling said, May I ask, miss, where is this place?
At the foot of the mountain. Alo said.
Lanling said, Is it still far from the dark shadow spider queens cave dwelling?
Not far, a few dozen li. Alo said.
Thank you, miss, for bringing me out. May I ask about the other people in the cave dwelling? Lanling asked.
After the dark shadow spider queen died, they naturally broke free from the spiritual lock and left on their own. Alo said.
Lanling said, I still have a companion, a woman named Ye Jingyu. Did you see her, miss?
No. Alo said, After the dark shadow spider queen died, I directly brought you away and did not pay attention to the others.
Lanling bowed again and said, Thank you once more for saving my life, miss. Then I shall take my leave now.
Alo turned her head and said, Where are you going?
Lanling said, To the dark shadow spider queens cave dwelling to find my companion.
No. Alo said in a delicate voice.
Lanling was stunned, finding it a little hard to believe what she said. This was a woman like a fairy. Although Lanling had not asked about her identity, she wore the heavenly screen ring of the Dragon God Temple on her head, so Lanling instinctively felt that she was a female cultivator from the Dragon God Temple.
Female cultivators from the Dragon God Temple are very transcendent. She must have heard that the dark shadow spider queen was harming people here and came alone to eliminate the harm for the people. People of such noble character as them definitely save others without seeking reward.
However, now she directly said no, Lanling could not leave.
This… why? Lanling asked.
Alo said, Because I came specially for you. Otherwise why would I venture alone into the dark shadow spider queens cave? Do I think my life is too long?
Lanling was stunned and said, Did you not go to the dark shadow spider queens cave to eliminate harm for the people, miss? How could it be for me?
Eliminate harm for the people? Why should I eliminate harm for the people? This dark shadow spider queen and I do not interfere with each other. As long as one does not enter her territory, one will not die. So those people who were killed fully deserved it. Alo said indifferently, I went there for you.
Lanling was completely stunned. What exactly is going on? He does not seem that special.
You came specially for me, miss? Lanling said, And you even risked your life?
Yes. Alo turned her face. Her exquisitely beautiful face smiled slightly, instantly making ones soul feel as if it would float away.
Why? I am not that special. Lanling said, What did you come to find me for, miss?
To take you home. Alo said, Back to my home.
Lanling said, And then?
Then, marry you. I want to marry you. Alo said.
Instantly, Lanlings head almost exploded.
The woman in front of him was so beautiful that she was completely on par with Princess Zhi Ning.
Just in terms of appearance, her level among women far exceeded Suo Luos level among men.
Now she actually said that she had travelled thousands of li to the dark shadow spider queens cave dwelling, risking her life, just to marry him?
Could this be another of Suo Luos romantic entanglements? But there was no such woman among Suo Luos pile of portraits, and Lanling felt that a playboy like Suo Luo should not be worthy of the fairy like woman in front of him.
May I ask, miss, did we have a private relationship before? Lanling asked in confusion.
No. Alo said, I just saw your portrait, fell in love at first sight, travelled thousands of li to find you, and want to marry you.
At this moment, Alo was still smiling in such an ethereal way, with a fairy like temperament, yet she spoke such words.
Instantly, Lanlings heart became completely chaotic.
He took a deep breath. Although the situation in front of him was very strange, and the woman before him was already beautiful to the extreme with an extremely noble temperament, completely the dream lover that men yearn for.
But Lanling bowed again and said, Thank you for your kind intentions, miss. I already have a fiancée. Now I need to go find my companion. Farewell.
No. Alos long sleeve gently flicked out, and instantly Lanling could not move at all.
What does this mean, miss? Lanling said.
The peerlessly beautiful Alo, like a fairy, said softly, There are too few handsome men nowadays. I have not held a wedding ceremony for a long time, and I have not drunk human blood for a long time either. Now that a top tier handsome man like you has appeared, how could I let you go?
As soon as these words came out, Lanling immediately felt a chill run through him.
Immediately after, this Alo gently floated to Lanlings side, opened her snow white teeth, gently划 across Lanlings neck, and lightly licked with her small tongue as she said ethereally, Little husband, how did I do with my fairy disguise this time? I thought about it for a long time before deciding to use this appearance and this temperament to meet you.
Instantly, Lanlings hair stood on end. This, this should be escaping the tigers den only to enter the wolfs lair.
Dear husband, let me introduce myself. Alo bowed and saluted in front of Lanling as she said, This servant is the chieftain of the Venomous Snake Tribe in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Meng Tuoluo, known as the Black Widow.
The Black Widow. She is actually the Black Widow.
