"Today's assassin was quite formidable."
Back at home, Yun Qingshang didn't pay attention to the landing pod in her bedroom; instead, she discussed today's assassin with Gao Xuan.
Through brutal training, Yun Qingshang had developed a keen sense of danger long ago. Yet she felt nothing even after the opponent had fired. That was frightening.
A supersonic sniper bullet, traveling at six times the speed of sound, poses a significant threat even to exoskeleton armor.
No matter how cultivators refine their bodies, they are ultimately flesh and blood. Any cultivator below the Silver Level hit by such a bullet would surely die.
If it weren't for Gao Xuan today, Wei Yue would be dead for sure. Including herself, they all would have been killed.
"Ghost Spear."
Gao Xuan explained, "This is a famous assassin from the East Continent. On the Dark Web assassin rankings, Ghost Spear has always been in the top ten."
"There's an assassin leaderboard?"
Yun Qingshang was a bit surprised. It's absurd to have rankings for people who operate in the shadows like assassins.
"It's quite normal; assassins need to take jobs to make a living. The more famous they are, the better their business."
Gao Xuan remarked indifferently, "At the end of the day, it's a business. Naturally, it follows economic principles. People love to rank assassins, so they have rankings."
He enviously added, "The commission for assassins ranked in the top ten is quite high. Although being famous is dangerous, they earn a lot."
Top-ranked assassins not only earn higher income but also receive more points on the Dark Web.
Gao Xuan's real intention of getting Yun Qingshang to work with him as an assassin was to accumulate Dark Web points quickly and gain access to the Mo Sect's Hall as soon as possible.
The Mo Sect's Hall resides deep within the Dark Web; it's the oldest assassin organization of mankind.
The Mo Sect's Hall has three core tenets: One: Protect the Human Race. Two: Balance. Three: Exclusion.
Protecting the Human Race is the highest core tenet of the Mo Sect, also known as the "great righteousness."
For the sake of righteousness, one would face death without regret.
The second tenet is balance: balance in yin and yang, balance in high and low, balance in good and evil, balance in strength and weakness.
The Mo Sect believes human society is vast and complex, and to maintain the stability of the human society's structure, balance is paramount.
The Mo Sect serves as a small weight, roaming between extremes to maintain balance and ensure the stable continuation of human society's structure.
Therefore, the Mo Sect lurks in the shadows, using assassination methods to uphold human balance.
Three, if not of our kind, their hearts must differ.
All aliens can be killed.
In his previous life, Gao Xuan escaped from the Blood God Association and joined the Mo Sect. He still agrees with the Mo Sect's principles.
Until humanity was on the brink of extinction, due to special circumstances, he was temporarily elevated as the Seventh Sage of the Mo Sect's Hall, gaining insights into many core secrets.
The Mo Sect's Hall is immensely powerful, one of the strongest secret organizations in human society.
Upon rebirth, Gao Xuan was determined to latch onto this support.
These matters are too complicated; there's no need to explain them to Yun Qingshang.
Gao Xuan firmly patted Yun Qingshang's shoulder: "Girl, whether we sunshine boys can make it into the top ten of the Mingjing, no, the East Continent assassin rankings depends on you."
"How is the ranking calculated?"
Yun Qingshang still didn't quite understand; assassins are supposed to do the killing discreetly. Creating rankings seems too flamboyant.
"There's a set of point rules. Quite complicated."
Gao Xuan said, "The simplest method is to kill the assassins on the ranking list; you directly take their place."
"If we kill Ghost Spear, will we enter the East Continent's top ten?"
Yun Qingshang found the idea amusing. Killing Ghost Spear doesn't necessarily mean being more capable than him.
"That's just how it is; what's the alternative?"
Gao Xuan joked, "Are we supposed to hold an assassin skill competition and compare everyone's abilities?"
Hugging her legs, Yun Qingshang curled into a ball. She whispered, "It's not funny. Today was truly dangerous. We almost died."
Recalling the sniper bullet that barely missed, Yun Qingshang's heart felt cold. Facing such a bizarre gunman, even with the Crimson Heart, she had no confidence in surviving, let alone in protecting Gao Xuan.
Today's encounter left her feeling useless, filled with frustration.
Gao Xuan could understand Yun Qingshang's thoughts. After all, she was a trained assassin.
Even if Yun Qingshang disliked killing, she was confident in her own power and skills.
Suddenly encountering a formidable assassin and being overwhelmed was surely unpleasant for Yun Qingshang.
Gao Xuan comforted her, "Don't worry, in a few days, I'll kill Ghost Spear to vent your anger."
Truth be told, Ghost Spear was truly strong. Even before Ghost Spear fired, Gao Xuan did not sense anything wrong.
Because Ghost Spear wasn't targeting him but Wei Yue.
Until Ghost Spear fired and threatened Gao Xuan, he immediately sensed it and made the correct judgment, giving him time to save Wei Zhenzhen and Wei Yue.
After firing three shots without success, Ghost Spear quickly fled.
However, Ghost Spear was unaware that Gao Xuan had left a mental imprint on him.
As long as Ghost Spear remained within the Mingjing City range, he couldn't escape from Gao Xuan's sensing.
Gao Xuan decided to wait a few days because he didn't want to act too impulsively.
Today, he had already made quite a splash by saving Wei Yue.
Both Wei Yue and the Law Enforcement Department were actively searching for Ghost Spear. At this point, it wasn't suitable for him to stand out.
Ghost Spear, having failed in his attempt, wouldn't strike again easily. After waiting a couple of days for things to calm down, then it wouldn't be too late to act.
Moreover, Ghost Spear, marked with the mental imprint, had been exposed; he was no longer a threat.
While Gao Xuan considered Ghost Spear manageable, Yun Qingshang thought differently.
Yun Qingshang said seriously, "My power is still too weak. I want to absorb Celestial Dragon Blood."
"Your foundation is unstable now, absorbing the Celestial Dragon Blood has a high probability of transforming you into another kind of life."
Gao Xuan shook his head, "You should focus on cultivating the Dragon King Technique. Only when the Dragon King Technique reaches Level 7 should you consider the Celestial Dragon Blood. Don't worry, I've arranged everything for you."
Yun Qingshang asked curiously, "What arrangements?"
"The Black Dragon Association has a piece of Black Dragon Scale."
Gao Xuan said, "I'll go snatch it for you in some time."
"That's too dangerous."
Yun Qingshang had also learned relevant information while at the base; she knew the Black Dragon Association is a powerful Evil God Organization. She didn't want Gao Xuan to take risks.
Gao Xuan shook his head and said, "Regardless, I must go to the headquarters of the Black Dragon Association once."
After Fang Zhenshan's failed assassination attempt on Wei Yue, he would certainly investigate the reason for failure. He couldn't escape Fang Zhenshan's attention. So, he had to find an opportunity to eliminate Fang Zhenshan and eradicate future troubles.
Fang Zhenshan held an important position in the Black Dragon Association. Killing him would also provoke the Black Dragon Association, intensifying their conflict with the Blood God Association.
Moreover, he had to take some risks for Yun Qingshang.
"Then I'll go with you," Yun Qingshang said.
Gao Xuan smiled, "It's not your turn yet. Wait until you reach Level 10, break through your Genetic Sequence to Silver Level, and form a Star Wheel between your brows. Then you'll have the qualification to help me."
"Hmm?"
Yun Qingshang didn't quite understand, as Gao Xuan's requirements were very high. She didn't know how long she would have to cultivate to reach them.
"Actually, low-tier cultivation isn't that troublesome. Take the most correct path, use the most correct medicine, recompose the Genetic Sequence, and you'll quickly reach this level."
Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Wei Yue can also help us. The Skywalker Gene Potion she's developing is very useful."
Yun Qingshang looked at Gao Xuan suspiciously, "You got close to Wei Zhenzhen for this?"
"Coincidence, coincidence."
Gao Xuan laughed dryly and waved his hand, "It's not all calculated. Wei Zhenzhen was purely accidental."
Meeting Wei Zhenzhen in the White Dragon Mountains was indeed unexpected. Until Wu Caiyun appeared, Gao Xuan hadn't connected Wei Zhenzhen and Wei Yue.
Moreover, his sleeping with Wei Zhenzhen was unrelated to this matter.
Although the Skywalker Gene Potion is excellent, it's not worth selling himself. Besides, sleeping with Wei Zhenzhen is useless.
The Skywalker Gene Potion is Yuanlong Company's top secret and is still in the research phase, not available for sale.
Only Wei Yue could obtain the Skywalker Gene Potion.
Today, contacting Wei Yue was undoubtedly a good start.
Later, he should find more opportunities to connect with Wei Yue emotionally. For Yun Qingshang, Gao Xuan might have to reluctantly sleep with Wei Yue.
By then, once they became family, accessing the Gene Potion wouldn't be a problem.
The most important issue here was fearing that Wei Zhenzhen wouldn't be willing...
Gao Xuan suppressed these wild thoughts, feeling influenced by the side effects of the Celestial Dragon Eye, his mind getting a bit overwhelmed.
"I'm a man of principles, I won't do things like that..."
Suppressing his wild thoughts, Gao Xuan said to Yun Qingshang, "I've got the steps all arranged: Black Dragon Scale, Skywalker Gene Potion, Celestial Dragon Blood; you'll reach Level 10 within two months. Don't rush."
"I hope you'll be the tank to fight the boss; you must work hard."
Gao Xuan grabbed Yun Qingshang, with deep expectancy on his face.
Yun Qingshang didn't quite understand Gao Xuan's meaning, but she nodded her head vigorously anyway.
Then she felt something was off, lowering her gaze to the hand that had fallen on her chest.
"Slipped hand, slipped hand..."
Gao Xuan laughed dryly and withdrew his hand, "I don't have eyes, occasionally putting a hand in the wrong place is reasonable, right."
Yun Qingshang just looked silently at Gao Xuan, neither shy nor upset. She said calmly, "If you really need it, I can sleep with you."
"Uh, uh, I wouldn't lay a hand on a brother; I'm not that kind of person."
Gao Xuan was somewhat tempted, but still uprightly refused Yun Qingshang.
Fortunately, at that moment, Wei Zhenzhen suddenly called; Gao Xuan hurriedly answered.
"Brother, quickly go online using the Pod Cabin, I miss you."
Wei Zhenzhen was carefree; after being scared, she quickly brushed it aside again. Unable to leave home, she could only go on the Celestial Net to find Gao Xuan.
Seeing Gao Xuan's cool response, she quickly said, "I'll take you to play something thrilling and fun..."
Gao Xuan was somewhat curious and said, "Is the Virtual Landing Pod so powerful now, even capable of remote what?"
After rolling in bed with Gao Xuan for two days, Wei Zhenzhen had become able to instantly understand these words, blushing slightly, "It's not that; I'll take you to play games in the Battle Net, it's really fun!"
"Oh..."
Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me, I'll come up to find you."
As the King of Assassins who was reborn a hundred years later, he had no interest in playing games.
However, Battle Net was different.
Battle Net was a virtual game platform that contained various virtual games.
No matter where humans from the Alliance were, they could log into Battle Net. Battle Net could satisfy all the players' gaming needs.
20% of humans stayed on Battle Net year-round. For these people, Battle Net was their world, their everything.
No one could have imagined that decades later, Battle Net would transform into Virtual Divine Country, allowing an Alien Race to seize upon it, surpass limits, and enter the Divine Realm.
From that moment, humanity was doomed to be destroyed!
Only by replacing the Alien Race and taking Divine Enthronement in the Virtual Divine Country first is there a chance to change humanity's fate.
All of Gao Xuan's plans were for this final strategy.
Once he got the Pod Cabin, he should check out the Battle Net.
