Chapter 136: Demonization!


    “Captain Zhao, didn’t I say Tianfu District produced a real talent?”


    In the mission hall, sat beside a short-haired woman. They both puffed on cigarettes, eyes on the massive screen displaying countless mission listings.


    “He’s something, alright,” the woman——exhaled a smoke ring. “You might’ve missed it, but he’s already got in him.”


    “No way…” The Bearded Guy froze mid-puff. “I swear, I didn’t teach him . I like the kid, sure, but I’d never break the bureau’s rules.”


    Breath Cultivation was the core technique—its key to breaking the monopoly of ancient cultivation families.


    If Chen Huai’an the bureau, The Bearded Guy could authorize him for the of the technique on the spot.


    But if he stayed —


    No chance.


    Zhao Ying flicked ash. “Your understanding of is still shallow. Awakened types come in many forms—Ability-types, Beast-bound types, Spirit-bound types, Ghost-bound types, and Ancient Martial types. Not every Awakened needs to store Spiritual Qi.


    I said he has Qi.


    But it could be , not something he can regenerate.”


    The Bearded Guy grunted thoughtfully.


    Chen Huai’an’s had already granted him powerful .


    If it could produce too…


    Then that Companion Spirit was straight-up .


    “If Xiaoyuan cures his cancer,” The Bearded Guy asked, “Will his combat rating go up?”


    Zhao Ying gave a half-nod. “Depends. His talismans burn —who knows what price his sword techniques demand.


    If his Companion Spirit can , maintaining a cycle of power and recovery…


    He could easily reach , maybe even .


    But if he can’t offset the lifespan cost…


    He’s just a powerful . A shooting star—bright, but short-lived.”


    The Bearded Guy cracked a grin. “He doesn’t like the short-lived type. His Qi’s got a to it.”


    Just as the words left his mouth—


    A exploded from the treatment room.


    Zhao Ying’s expression turned razor-sharp.


    She shot to her feet—


    CRASH!


    A wall —


    And from the wreckage, came flying out—


    Her petite frame into the front desk of the mission hall, rolling lifelessly to a stop.

    The Bearded Guy bolted to check her pulse.


    And at the broken wall—


    A emerged—locked in brutal combat with a —

    Zhao Ying.


    The monstrous claw moved with , exchanging fierce blows.


    Zhao Ying’s eyes narrowed—


    She saw her opening.


    Her blade flashed—

    They —
