Chu Hao clambered out of bed, tumbling and crawling, and only then did he have the chance to look up. To his surprise, he noticed a woman dressed in white had appeared in the room at some unknown time.

It was her!

The mysterious woman who had knocked him out in Seven Wolf Stockade and taken the Snow Jade Box—whatever treasure might be hidden inside, she had left him two Earth Spirit Pills, increasing his strength by 200,000 catties!

She was still peerlessly beautiful, with a matchless aura. If there had to be any change, Chu Hao's powerful analytical ability immediately told him, eight months had passed, and her bust had increased by a size!

He really didn't want to be a lecher, but as his eyes swept over her, his brain automatically started analyzing, telling him the most precise measurements!

But just a moment later, his heart chilled. What in the world was going on?

From his position, the green-haired woman's body was more visible. She was completely naked, covered in green scales instead of a stitch of clothing! No matter how good her figure was, the sight of those scales was enough to turn anyone's stomach.

The woman in white glanced at Chu Hao, a look of surprise flashed across her face, clearly recognizing him as well.

Seeing this, a cold smile crept onto the green-haired woman's lips. She pounced towards Chu Hao with fierce momentum.

Triple wave! Shocking Force!

Chu Hao concentrated all his strength into his fists and met the green-haired woman's charge head-on.

Puff!

But his punches didn't land; the green-haired woman was slippery like an eel, dodging effortlessly, rendering his attack ineffective once again!

"Shocking Force?" The woman in white's eyes lit up, as mastery of Shocking Force at this level of strength was truly rare!

Snap!

The green-haired woman's hands clasped around Chu Hao's neck again, moving behind him. She warned, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"

The beauty in white didn't seem to care and lifted her slender hand gracefully.

The eyes of the green-haired woman flashed with ferocity as she barked, "Even if I die, I'm taking this kid down with me!" With that, she attempted to break Chu Hao's neck with a powerful twist.

The woman in white flicked her finger gently.

Snap—a crisp sound arose, and the green-haired woman's body gradually slumped, collapsing. Chu Hao quickly struggled free and turned to see a bloody hole on the green-haired woman's forehead, with blood and white brain matter oozing out.

How had she been hit?

Chu Hao remembered clearly—his body had been completely shielding the green-haired woman. He quickly touched his own forehead. It was fine, then he checked the back of his head; no hole there either.

"Don't worry, I used Piercing Force, the power acts through your body!" The woman in white spoke indifferently. She beckoned with her right hand, and it was as if an invisible giant hand took control of the green-haired woman's body, which began to float towards her, making Chu Hao initially think she had risen from the dead!

However, that gave him a fright. In other words, the force had passed through his forehead before striking the green-haired woman's head! Such immense power…if the woman in white's control had been slightly off, wouldn't he have been the one who died?

"That won't happen!" The woman in white seemed to read his mind. Still with an outstretched hand, she pulled at the green-haired woman's necklace, which landed smoothly in her palm.

She wiped her hand over it, and swiftly, an oddly shaped stone appeared in her hand, earthy yellow in color. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but on closer inspection, the stone seemed to be alive, with streaks of light moving within it.

- Mustard Seed Ring! No, Mustard Seed Necklace.

"Who exactly are you? And what's all this about?" Chu Hao couldn't help asking. He then emphasized, "I'm the victim here, I believe I have the right to know!"

"Alright then!" The woman in white pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "My name is Su Wanyue!"

Chu Hao thought of the "Su" signature she had left. So her surname was indeed Su!

"A while ago, did you feel any tremors through the mountain range?" Su Wanyue asked.

"Yes!" Chu Hao nodded. It had been quite noticeable; at first, he thought an earthquake was imminent, but it was just a single tremble that quieted down quickly.

"That was the Heart of the Mountain Range being born to the world!" Su Wanyue declared.

"Is that this thing?" Chu Hao gestured at the strange stone in her hand.

"Precisely!" Su Wanyue confirmed, "Embed the Heart of the Mountain Range into a sword, then stimulate it with Star Force, and the sword qi produced will carry the terrifying pressure of an entire mountain range!"

"You mean, being struck by this sword qi is equivalent to being suppressed by a mountain?" Chu Hao asked, astonished.

"Exactly!" Su Wanyue nodded again. "The Heart of the Mountain Range shows no signs before its formation, only causing tremors the moment it emerges. I just happened to be passing by and discovered the Heart of the Mountain Range at the same time as she did!"

She gestured towards the green-haired woman on the ground.

Chu Hao couldn't help but ask, "Is she really human?"

"Of course, she's human. She just cultivated the Green Snake Technique, transforming into something that's neither fully human nor snake," said Su Wanyue, her expression one of disgust. She continued, "We fought, and although I seriously injured her, she used a teleportation charm to escape!"

"It took me several days to finally track her down!"

Chu Hao finally understood that after that inexplicable earthquake, people in Yunliu Sect began to die, turning into mummified corpses, all by this green-haired woman's hand! As for why they turned into mummies... It was probably because this woman's special cultivation technique absorbed all their essence!

Why would they die with a smile on their face?

Chu Hao thought back to how he was bewitched by the green-haired woman, initially mistaking her for a stunning beauty. If his willpower hadn't been strong enough, he would have surely fantasized about romping with her, dying confused and naturally wearing an exceedingly blissful expression on his face!

Su Wanyue put away the Heart of the Mountain Range, but then took out a dozen or so tiny crystals from her Mustard Seed Necklace that blazed like fierce flames. She said, "The formation of the Heart of the Mountain Range necessarily brings about the birth of Flame Essence! She's badly injured and can't absorb its power. However, the Green Snake Technique is of the Water Attribute. Even if her injuries heal, this Flame Essence won't be of much benefit to her!"

"What is your constitution?" She stretched out her slender hand and pointed it towards Chu Hao.

Chu Hao didn't have time to dodge, and suddenly there was a delicate jade finger on his forehead. Gazing at the beauty up close, he caught a faint scent of a maiden and couldn't help feeling a bit entranced.

"Oh?" Su Wanyue's eyes shone with surprise and said, "You can absorb the power of the Star Stone now, can't you?"

How did she know?

Surprise showed on Chu Hao's face.

"I knew it!" Su Wanyue didn't need his answer, just a look at his expression told her everything, "You're really lucky, not only having a Fire Attribute constitution but also... Chu? Could it be that you're a descendant of that family?"

"Hey, what exactly are you talking about!" Chu Hao couldn't help but say.

"These Flame Essences are for you!" Su Wanyue placed a dozen crystals that resembled flames on the table, "Absorb them like you would the Star Stone. Not only will it rapidly enhance your strength, but it will also significantly fortify your constitution!"

"Thank you!" Chu Hao was stunned at first, then nodded his understanding and said instinctively, "Are you leaving now?"

"Do you still want to invite me to dinner?" Su Wanyue joked subconsciously.

A sense of unwillingness to part surfaced in Chu Hao's heart, and he blurted out, "Will I be able to see you again?"

"If fate wills it!" Su Wanyue beckoned with a wave, lifting the corpse of the green-haired woman from the ground. Twirling around, the wooden door swung open automatically, and she walked out, "Of course, we'll meet again!"

Chu Hao hurriedly chased after her, only to see Su Wanyue leap lightly, suddenly a long sword appeared under her feet. She stepped on the sword, whooshed upwards, and in an instant, became a speck in the night sky, disappearing from view.

Sword Flight!

Warrior!

In the Martial Arts Tenth Realm, only upon reaching the level of Warrior could one use flying Treasure Artifacts to traverse the skies, and after becoming a War Venerate, one could fly with their physical body alone.

Since Su Wanyue could manage Sword Flight, it was evident that her strength must be at the Warrior level or possibly even a War General or War King!

Looks can be deceiving!

She was certainly not an old monster with youth-preserving techniques—her breasts were still developing! Chu Hao couldn't help feeling embarrassed; this unexpected observation turned out to be useful for judging her age.

A woman who was probably about his age, at most a year or two older, was already at least a Warrior in terms of cultivation!

What right did he have to be complacent?

Tianhe County was too small; it was just one among the Middle Nine Counties of Cang State, and the entire Sky Martial Star had nine major states, with countless Sects like Liuyun Sect of Sixth Grade!

A smile appeared on Chu Hao's face—having such a formidable rival was better, as it broadened his horizons!

However, one should not bite off more than they can chew. His current goal should be to become the top disciple of the Outer Sect, then enter the Inner Sect, surpass Cao Jingwen, and become the number one in Tianhe County first. Only then would he be qualified to chase after Su Wanyue's footsteps.

Making this decision, he felt a surge of motivation!

Previously, he cultivated merely for the sake of becoming stronger, not wanting to be bullied or controlled by others! But that was a kind of negative motivation, whereas now it was different; his heart was filled with positive energy!

He wanted to have enough power to protect friends like Fu Xue and Tang Xin, and even the entire Lower World!

So, he had to become stronger!

Chu Hao returned to his room, cleaned up the bloodstains on the floor, and then Flying Fire finally woke up, blinking its large eyes and looking cutely confused.

—It too had fallen under the green-haired woman's bewitching power and had been sleeping throughout.

"Keep sleeping!" Chu Hao patted Flying Fire on the head, while he himself sat on the bed and took out a piece of Flame Essence from the Mustard Seed Ring.

Su Wanyue had mentioned something about Water and Fire Attribute constitutions, which he still wasn't clear about. However, he could guess that a Fire Attribute constitution should be able to absorb Fire Attribute treasures, and while Water Attribute ones might be able to as well, the effect would be much less.

This was probably something to worry about after becoming a martial master!

Time to give it a try!

Chu Hao held a Flame Essence, activated the Nameless Technique, and immediately, a force utterly different from Star Force burst forth from the tiny stone, spreading wildly within his body like a prairie fire!

"Wow—" he abruptly opened his mouth and coughed up a stream of blood, but before the blood even hit the ground, it ignited with a hiss.

Chu Hao grimaced; he truly felt like he was about to combust. (A raining pie event: cool smartphones up for grabs! Follow the qdread WeChat public account (add friends on WeChat—add public account—enter qdread to join). Everyone wins a prize, so follow the qdread WeChat public account now!)
