Chapter 171: 152 Rebirth! The Wrath of a Common Man Can Also Flatten Mountains (Seeking Monthly Votes)_1
Pei Jinye felt his Vitality wilting, unsure of what he was thinking, but Jiang Suhu’s Transcendent ability made his brain incredibly clear. He understood very well what shocking and unorthodox act he had to do next.
The Kui Bull state had just been lifted.
His body collapsed into the pool of blood, his bones continuously regenerating.
Teacher Chang might have noticed, but he remained indifferent, only showing some annoyance as he calmly counter-asked Pei Jinye, “Why do you insist on delaying time? Do you still think, at this point, that you have a chance to be spared from certain death? If I hadn’t been reluctant to kill you, you would have been dead from the start!!!”
Pei Jinye gave a wry smile, “Of course, I know. Has it come to the point where you can’t even have a heartfelt conversation with me? To you, what difference is there between me and a dead man? Just by satisfying my curiosity, you can obtain a truth that others in this world wouldn’t even dare to dream of, right?”
Teacher Chang narrowed his eyes, pressed down the urgency in his heart, picked up Pei Jinye whose bones were already broken, and placed him on the surgery table, his tone becoming calm again, “Do you know Tang Yulou?”
“I do, a senior of a friend of mine. He seems to have known you, but now he seems to have forgotten you.” Pei Jinye looked over, “Was the Forbidden Medicine given to him by you?”
“You know even this?” Teacher Chang’s smile at the corner of his mouth dispersed, “It seems your ability is stronger than I thought… Tang Yulou is an indecisive person who wasted his life for love. If he hadn’t begged me years ago, I wouldn’t have bothered with him at all. Our pursuit of asceticism is for eternal life, immortality! Mere mortal emotions are just a waste of life’s rubbish! That’s why I am stronger than any of you!”
“By severing all ties to passion and desire, can one truly achieve that?” Pei Jinye seriously asked.
“You’ve got the logic backward,” Teacher Chang sneered coldly. “It’s not that we become strong by giving these up; rather, we must give up irrelevant things in order to become strong. Life for us is ever diminishing; there is no eternal life. A human’s lifetime is just a fleeting moment!”
Before Pei Jinye could speak, Teacher Chang suddenly asked, “I haven’t asked you, have you awakened any Life type Extraordinary Abilities?”
“You seem quite concerned about this?” Pei Jinye replied off-topic.
He realized that the other party currently mistook him for someone who had gained Multi-System Extraordinary Abilities by awakening. The true fact that he had acquired his Extraordinary Abilities by Devouring others had not yet been discovered.
If he were to learn about this…
Surely this warrior, who had been famous in Da Peng City for a long time, would also be completely unable to maintain his composure.
“So far, I know very little about the Life type Extraordinary Abilities.”
Teacher Chang couldn’t help but feel regretful, “Makes sense, those types of Extraordinary are indeed rare… If one could awaken, it would be akin to immortality. Even I only heard about it through rumors back in the day…”
He nodded and paused, as if reminiscing.
“The path to becoming a god… can only rely on oneself…”
“Teacher Chang… are you really Teacher Chang?” Pei Jinye voiced his inner doubt.
“I am, and I am not,” Teacher Chang lifted his head, smiling mysteriously.
Pei Jinye was puzzled.
Teacher Chang stretched out a hand, his withered finger touching Pei Jinye’s tender face, “Ever since I sacrificed myself to the ominous, I have been dead!”
Teacher Chang’s face suddenly began to change.
He turned into another old man.
Then it changed again.
Pei Jinye asked in amazement, “Have you Devoured them?”
“Devour?” Teacher Chang reverted to his original appearance, smiling in surprise. “I like that word, but it’s not about Devouring. It’s about using the power of the ominous to fuse with the target’s Physical Body! Sadly, I can’t yet fully control this power, otherwise, I wouldn’t be aging so rapidly.”
Teacher Chang’s gaze toward Pei Jinye became even softer.
“Undeniably, the ominous is a terrifying power… From the time of its birth until now, the discussions about the ominous have never ceased… Some say it is the power of an Evil God. Maybe, as long as it assists me in becoming a god, what does it matter if I became an Evil God myself?”
But Pei Jinye was very clear.
The other party had no compassion for him whatsoever.
He was simply coveting his Physical Body.
“Fuse a physical body? Is such a method really still in existence in this world?”
“The world is vast, and with so many transcendent beings… there is no limit to the strange.” Teacher Chang’s eerie smile became increasingly spooky as his fingers brushed across Pei Jinye’s shoulder: “A very perfect body, definitely the most perfect body I have ever seen…”
He murmured with a hint of emotion: “The first time I saw you, your physical body was so frail that I had no interest in you whatsoever. I even thought you were like those wastes of space and would quickly leave the association… I admit, you are the first person I’ve ever misjudged.
I had originally planned to cultivate you for a few more years, waiting until your body was strong enough, and then fuse it.
Unfortunately, fate has its own plans, and there were some minor complications with my body. I was still hesitating about when to lure you out when, unexpectedly, you came to me on your own.
But I promise you, as long as you tell me how to obtain multi-system extraordinary abilities, I guarantee I won’t kill you.”
“Teacher Chang, are you really just that curious?” Pei Jinye’s face suddenly also revealed a strange smile of his own.
Teacher Chang did not understand his smile but became vigilant and quickly made a move, once again breaking Pei Jinye’s bones: “I know you are full of tricks, kid, but don’t even fantasize about escaping from me. In this world, there is no one who can—”
“Pff!”
The sudden sound made Teacher Chang unable to finish what he was saying.
He stared in disbelief, his eyes widening uncontrollably.
He stared straight at the young man in front of him with a strange smile on his face, who chose to commit suicide using telekinesis.
He could never have imagined that this young man would have no will to live, and was even more shocked at the decisiveness of his choice.
The next moment.
Teacher Chang’s unwilling roar echoed throughout the basement.
Endless darkness descended.
The sound of water droplets falling unexpectedly sounded, crisp and clear, one drop after another, falling at a steady pace.
This sound seemed to be just within reach, as if right beside the ear.
[Is this what death feels like?]
Pei Jinye could not feel his body, only sensing his will drifting… drifting…
“Old Pei?”
“Old Pei?”
Tang Huoyang’s voice suddenly grew from distant to near, appearing in his ear in an instant.
Pei Jinye opened his eyes and saw Tang Huoyang standing in front of him, asking with concern: “Old Pei, are you alright?”
“I… I’m fine.” Pei Jinye closed his eyes and took a moment to recover.
“What were you thinking about?” Tang Huoyang laughed: “I was calling you for quite a while.”
“You…” Pei Jinye looked around and realized he was actually in front of a washbasin in a hospital, the pungent odor of formalin very sharp. He recollected himself in an instant, asking without revealing any emotion: “Is Uncle Tang alright?”
“Hard to say…” Tang Huoyang hadn’t thought too much about it. He turned on the tap and caught a handful of cold water, splashing it forcefully over his face to wake up: “He fell into a coma so suddenly, I’m afraid this time… Sigh!”
Pei Jinye patted his shoulder, not saying anything.
He took out his phone from his pocket.
Quickly glanced at the time.
[November 9th, late at night, 11:13 PM.]
That is to say, this is the day following the death of Wu Feng!
At this time, he had not yet become involved in the Jiang Suhu case.
He had not yet stormed into the Jiang family.
He had not yet taken on the job from the three men with glasses to deal with the Ma Gang!
He had not yet made contact with the Old Gods Association!
He had not yet been discovered by Teacher Chang to have a secret within him!
“Since Brother Bi has not accepted the task from the 13th Research Institute, it means he is still alive… He is supposed to take the task tomorrow afternoon!”
Pei Jinye’s mind was filled with matters as he followed Tang Huoyang step by step to the chairs along the corridor and sat down, while across from him, Auntie Liu Huilan sat with her head down, red-eyed, nodding from time to time as she listened to the words of comfort from someone beside her.
Not far away, the younger members of the Tang Family appeared, passing by Tang Huoyang and greeting Auntie Liu Huilan.
Pei Jinye did not show the slightest intention to lift his head to look over.
His gaze was tightly fixed on the attribute panel in front of him.
Instrument·Snipe (Awaiting Awakening);
Body·Gang Fist (Awaiting Awakening);
Wisdom·Clear Brain (Awaiting Awakening);
Beast·Kui Ox (Awaiting Awakening);
(Fake) God·DayLight (Awaiting Awakening);
Element·Freezing (Awaiting Awakening);
Body·Blood Pattern (Awaiting Awakening);
Form·Flesh Regeneration (Awaiting Awakening);
Spirit·Misty Shadows (Awaiting Awakening);
A dense array of Extraordinary-Human Genes appeared in a gray-white state; now his physical condition had also returned to that initial phase… It was something that might not be believed if spoken out loud.
Even his Vitality was a bit higher than it was right before his death.
Pei Jinye’s eyes revealed a flash of realization for a moment: “Time has retrogressed to a certain point in the past, all the Extraordinary abilities I’ve gained before need to be Devoured again… However, I haven’t started to Devour in bulk yet, so the data hasn’t really declined.”
He nodded slightly.
That’s right.
If Brother Bi hadn’t had an accident yet, it also meant that Xu Tian, Xie Zu Xin, Jiang Qingcang, Yang Qingdan, and others were not yet dead!
And Teacher Chang!
If it weren’t for the Extraordinary Abilities of Death Replay, he would probably be left with nothing but a fate worse than death in Teacher Chang’s hands.
This is also why he dared to make the resolute choice to commit suicide…
Although it was a heart-stopping decision.
But at least… Pei Jinye had bet correctly!
In other words, the current him came from a week in the future, in possession of an advantage unknown to others.
A fierce killing intent lurked in the depths of his eyes.
Before long, Tang Huoyang’s father appeared, and upon hearing Tang Huoyang introduce Pei Jinye, Old Tang’s expression immediately became brighter: “So it’s Jinye, I often hear Huoyang mention you. You have really bothered yourself in the recent times.”
“You’re making too much of it, Uncle Tang.”
Pei Jinye silently counted down in his heart “three… two… one…” and not far away someone called out to Old Tang, forcing him to leave with a nod and an apologetic gesture.
Pei Jinye watched Old Tang leave.
And reflected inwardly.
Indeed… everything was unfolding according to the previous trajectory.
The air was saturated with the smell of formalin.
It wasn’t long before Tang Huoyang appeared with an impatient look on his face.
Pei Jinye knew the reason, but he didn’t ask, although Tang Huoyang still complained: “It’s really annoying. They all think too highly of themselves… With the third uncle sick, I guess it’s their families who are happiest about it.”
He then repeated the third uncle Tang Yulou’s contributions to the Tang Family.
Half an hour later.
Auntie Liu HuiLan came forward and told Pei Jinye he did not need to stay any longer, that simply coming to visit was enough.
Tang Huoyang wanted to ask Pei Jinye to join him for a meal, but Pei Jinye politely declined.
“Where are you going then? I’ll give you a ride.”
“Yulu Station will do.”
Tang Huoyang didn’t fuss.
After Pei Jinye got into the car, he casually asked, “Have you been to the Bronze Association recently?”
“Without you, I didn’t go much either,” Tang Huoyang shook his head.
“Didn’t you seek Teacher Chang for some advice?” Pei Jinye smiled.
“I did, but…” Tang Huoyang sighed, “I don’t know what Teacher Chang has been busy with lately; he hardly comes by anymore. I accidentally saw him coughing last time; he seems sick. Shall we visit him together sometime?”
Pei Jinye:
Visit him, and together?
Pretending to ponder, he said: “I might be a bit busy, next time you go, pay a visit for me too.”
“Sure…”
The sedan sped away.
Quickly.
Pei Jinye got out of the car and waved: “Drive slower on the way back.”
A Yuanli Button quietly flicked back and forth between his fingers.
Afterward, he quickly returned to his rented room and changed into a different set of clothes.
He swiftly pulled up the attribute panel.
[Vitality Value: 16-16.6]
Killing a Xie Zu Xin would be enough!
He put on the mask and with a swift motion, he jumped out of the window and disappeared.
