Chapter 363

’Ting!’

*The skill [Appraisal] has a new function: Can display a hidden emotion the target is feeling . *

’Oh well, it’s better than nothing . ’

Arthur read the contents of the notifications before dismissing it and glancing at the struggling . Lucy suddenly used Telepathy to talk to him

"Shouldn’t you be helping them . After all, they are part of your ’student’s sect . "

Without having to look at her, Arthur could already feel a piercing glare directed at him . Lucy wasn’t that pleased with his new student and though she didn’t force him to forsake Jian Si, she wasn’t particularly fond of the girl either . . . . despite never meeting her .

"A-anyway, we should head-on . "

After giving one final glance to Veknur and the rest, the couple departed from that area, heading deeper into the Wicket Forest . Thanks to Space Magic, none of the monsters bothered them or even noticed their existence which allowed them to tread this dangerous place unhindered .

Their speed was moderately fast compared to the other cultivators, which advanced step by step, afraid of monster ambushes . It was only after thirty-minutes did they enter the real death zone where every beast is at least a God Beast . There was a small plant that looked completely harmless but was actually a God Beast which excelled in poison and sneak-attacks .

.

Though they could be useless, Arthur didn’t bother fighting them for the future stats as he had more than enough corpses and he just needs to cultivate and reach the Sovereign Realm .

Perhaps he’ll harvest some on the way back, as for now, he needs to find the origin of the Yin Energy and the location of the Star Iron, if the rumor is true, that is .

As they were bypassing these God-slaying monsters, Lucy was the first to notice a lone figure, which was slowly walking between the monsters without alerting them or igniting their rage .

The couple came to a sudden halt as two pair of eyes focused on this lone silhouette . With a beautiful white robe and skin as white as snow, she took soundless steps in this quiet place . She had a unique beauty and long black hair along with two pair of green pupils .

Though they were a safe distance from her, the girl suddenly turned her head in their direction only to see nothingness . She frowned and tilted her head in confusion . Her senses couldn’t have been for naught so she activated her special cultivation technique only to see an equally beautiful woman who was around a hundred meters away from her .

Arthur had swiftly entered Lucy’s body for multiple reasons . The main one was that Lucy and that girl would have an easier time talking to each other if he wasn’t there . The presence of a man may make the girl uncomfortable or perhaps wary .

Though it’s not like she wasn’t wary or startled to suddenly see a woman not too far from her but at least Lucy didn’t use Dark Magic so strangers wouldn’t feel an ominous aura leaking out of her .

Despite having the Ethereal State, which drastically reduces the effect of Dark Magic, it couldn’t completely extinguish it, especially after the birth of the Tri-Spirit .

Appraisal was activated the second he saw her and these were the results .

*Shu Ru (Race: Human/F) Realm; 2nd Grade God Realm .

Age : 20

Title : NONE

Short Description : Top disciple of the Mirage Era Hall as well as one of the three geniuses of the Green-Leaf World . Her natural talent is high but due to her special physique, she needs to cultivate in specific places .

Physique : Sacred Rune Physique (General Rank) (Sub-Branch of Rune Branch) .

Emotion : Shu Ru is cautious of Lucy MoonStar

Arthur was surprised to see her special physique but apart from that, she wasn’t that strong . She must have noticed them thanks to her physique .

It was the second time he encountered a person who had a special physique . Arthur had long since wanted to acquire a special physique, however, unfortunately, possessing a target won’t grant him its physique as it’s something related to the body and not the techniques learned or stats acquired .

Though Claud did state that there are books or scrolls that would allow him to obtain physiques but finding such treasures is almost impossible as they are always hidden from the public .

Lucy’s physique, for example, was a King-physique but it was possible to upgrade it though accumulated hard work or lucky encounters .

"Try to get friendly with her, mayhap she has some sort of a map or device . She didn’t seem to be randomly exploring the place . "

Arthur’s telepathic voice was heard by Lucy . She grumbled while retorting

’Ugh . . . why does it have to be me?’

As if he expected such a question, Arthur replied while grinning

"Well, wouldn’t you reproach me if I talked to this girl? I sure as hell don’t want to be ignored for days . "

Lucy inwardly snorted and approached Shu Ru, who also made her way to the former after trying to probe her but failing to see through her cultivation .

’I’m sure this is the first time I see her . . . . a foreign traveler, perhaps?’

Shu Ru thought to herself as she gazed at Lucy . She was sure that the woman before her was a Sovereign and with a beauty like hers, along with her Realm, she would have been hella popular in the Green-Leaf World but she’s not, which meant that she’s from somewhere else, or so speculated the curious Shu Ru .

For a moment Shu Ru’s eyes flashed with a purple light and that led to her becoming absolutely shocked but that only lasted for a split second before she quickly regained her calm expression .

"Hello, Senior . "

The girl cupped her fists in greeting as she politely Lucy, who merely nodded her head as she found inexplicably annoying to talk to strangers despite the relaxing aura emanating from Shu Ru .

Though unwilling to talk, Lucy ended up having a short conversation with the young maiden . Meanwhile, Arthur, who was focusing on the girl was sucked into his consciousness only to find a strange occurrence there .

The usually calm Orb of the Fallen Overgods was reacting to something as it spun with incredible speed . It emitted a strong signal that made him feel a sense of urgency as if something was calling out for him .

"The book, it’s actually the Book of Life!"

Claud’s voice resonated inside Arthur’s consciousness . As he heard those words, Arthur felt a bit confused, he remembered Shu Ru and said

"Is it in the girl’s possession?"

"No, but it’s definitely close . "

"Must be hidden in the forest then . "

Claud’s illusory figure nodded its head before he disappeared, returning inside the ARK .

"Find it, it’ll definitely bring you a lot of benefits . Katrina didn’t have a strong fighting ability but she was a renowned Overgod thanks to her vast, almost limitless knowledge . "

Arthur gazed at the spinning orb for a few seconds before he left his consciousness, returning to Lucy’s body and examining the situation outside .

The two females already began traveling together with Shu Ru leading the way . Apparently, Shu Ru also came looking for a special place . She didn’t mention its name or its purpose but Arthur knew that it had to do with her physique . Nonetheless, her destination is surely where the book is .

The main branch of her physique is Light, then it’s Rune then Sacred Rune . A place that can help her get stronger has to be some sort of a Holy spot and the Book of Life has a strong relation with Light thus the two parties shared the same destination .
