Chapter 214: Just Getting Bitten By A Dog
Subsequently, under everyone’s gaze, the Evil Suppressing Guard tattoo on his back shone with white ghostly light.
Then, a blurry Evil Suppressing Guard phantom emerged outside Zhang Mazi’s body, following him like a shadow.
At this scene, everyone present couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
Xu Lu didn’t waste words either, immediately releasing a Gold Scroll Evil Suppressing Guard to spar with Zhang Mazi.
The two sides actually fought back and forth evenly.
One must know, that was a Gold Scroll Six Stars Evil Suppressing Guard!
“Already able to contend with Gold Scroll?” Xu Lu couldn’t hide her shock, “Heavens, this this this…”
“Can it continue to upgrade?” Wu Xian inquired of Tattoo Brother beside him.
“Probably not,” Tattoo Brother shook his head and said: “Human Scroll Painting is different from my tattoos; being able to remain completely on the human body is already quite difficult. Continuing to deepen it would easily lead to more harm than good.”
Wu Xian understood; once the Human Scroll Painting was formed, it couldn’t be altered recklessly.
Although it couldn’t continue to deepen and improve, a person’s body could have more than one tattoo.
Moreover, the power of these tattoos could stack together.
Although Spirit Tamers could also control multiple Scroll Paintings, the power of each Scroll Painting was independent of the others.
“Is there still a limit on physical quality?” Wu Xian pressed.
“Yes,” Tattoo Brother nodded, “and the tattooing process will be even more painful. According to Brother Zhang’s description, it’s like carving on the soul with a chisel—extremely painful.”
“Soul carving?”
Wu Xian and Cui Wenxuan exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
From a certain perspective, Human Scroll Painting might really be a kind of sculpting and shaping at the soul level.
Afterward, Cui Wenxuan carefully probed Zhang Mazi’s soul state, further confirming this guess, “Indeed!”
One could see that on Zhang Mazi’s Sea of Consciousness soul phantom, similar patterns to the Evil Suppressing Guard had also emerged.
Strangely, Tattoo Brother’s previous tattoos were not reflected on Zhang Mazi’s soul.
From this, it was evident that those power tattoos only acted on the body, while Human Scroll Painting would penetrate deep into the tattoo bearer’s soul.
“It’s somewhat like the legendary Blood-Colored Life Scroll Integration.” Cui Wenxuan pondered.
“Blood-Colored Life Scroll Integration?” Xu Lu said in surprise: “The legendary Ancient Scroll Painting?”
“That’s right,” Cui Wenxuan nodded, “It’s said that the blood-colored Life Scroll of Ancient Scroll Painting can perfectly merge the Painted Spirit’s power into the body, becoming part of one’s own power.”
Xu Lu clicked her tongue in wonder.
But Wu Xian clearly knew that Human Scroll Painting was different from God of Wealth Possession.
Zhang Mazi’s current situation was more like the integration of Scroll Painting Power, with Zhang Mazi himself acting as a special carrier for the Scroll Painting Power.
But the 【Blood-Colored Life Scroll Integration】 of Destined Ancient Scroll Painting was more like a perfect fusion from the inside out.
Or rather, Wu Xian and his Natal God of Wealth were originally one.
After all, Ancient Scroll Painting was forged from one’s own Blood Qi and soul.
“As long as I give you the Scroll Painting diagram and concept, you can tattoo it, right?” Wu Xian said eagerly.
“Mm,” Tattoo Brother nodded: “But the Scroll Painting Concept needs to be adjusted for a period of time.”
Wu Xian understood, already itching to try in his heart.
“Little Wu wants to try too?” Cui Wenxuan said in surprise.
“Don’t you want to?” Wu Xian countered.
“I do want to,” Cui Wenxuan seemed somewhat helpless: “But from the current situation, after Human Scroll Painting modification, one can no longer control and use Scroll Paintings.”
“Ah?” Wu Xian stared in astonishment with wide eyes.
Tattoo Brother and Xu Lu exchanged a glance and nodded helplessly.
Cui Wenxuan explained: “From what we see now, Little Zhang—whether his soul, body, or internal Spiritual Power structure—has undergone fundamental changes, and he can no longer normally control Scroll Paintings.”
With that, he casually pulled out a Scroll Painting and tossed it to Zhang Mazi to try.
Zhang Mazi held the Scroll Painting, his face showing embarrassment and helplessness, “Neither Spiritual Power nor Mental Power can probe into it.”
Seeing this, Wu Xian couldn’t help but feel regretful, “Appliance Scroll Paintings can’t be used either?”
“Evidently so,” Zhang Mazi spread his hands helplessly, “The previous Appliance Scroll Paintings are completely unusable now. One can only say there are gains and losses.”
Wu Xian had a flash of inspiration and pulled out Wang Xiaocong’s 【Netherworld Ghost Sword】, “Try this.”
Zhang Mazi took the Netherworld Ghost Sword doubtfully, and his eyes instantly lit up.
Then, under everyone’s astonished gaze, the Scroll Painting in his hand unfolded in spiritual light, transforming into an evil long sword brimming with netherworld aura, appearing in Zhang Mazi’s hand.
“This this this…” Cui Wenxuan and Xu Lu were clearly shocked.
“I remember now, you used this kind of Appliance Scroll Painting in the Battlefield Match before.” Xu Lu quickly recalled.
“So that’s how it is,” Wu Xian analyzed in realization: “It seems Brother Zhang Mazi is currently in a state of Half-Human Half-Painted Spirit.”
Since he was half Painted Spirit, he naturally couldn’t use other Painted Spirits.
But Wang Xiaocong’s Appliance Scroll Painting was different; it could be used by other Painted Spirits itself.
In this way, the equipment problem for Human Scroll Painting warriors was also solved.
“This is the new type of Appliance Scroll Painting researched by that kid from the Wang Family?” Cui Wenxuan couldn’t help but be amazed.
“How do you know?” Wu Xian was startled inwardly.
Wang Xiaocong’s situation had always been kept confidential externally; could someone from the club have leaked the news?
Cui Wenxuan smiled: “The military side started equipping it right away, and this old man isn’t stupid. Moreover, the Wang Family has always excelled in Appliance Scroll Paintings.”
In realization, Wu Xian smoothly probed, “Speaking of which, what do you think of Old Master Wang Fengnian? What’s the Wang Family’s background?”
“I’m really not too clear on that,” Cui Wenxuan shook his head: “I only know that Old Mr. Wang has deep military background, and he has some connections with Tiangong Dojo.
From my observations over these years, that Old Mr. Wang is no simple man; he definitely has some major matter hidden. You’d better be a bit cautious in the future to avoid getting involved.”
Wu Xian nodded slightly and said no more.
After all, for him, he would rather trust Old Master Wang a bit more.
As for that so-called “major matter,” it was probably no longer a question of getting involved or not.
After some pleasantries, the time was already late.
Before leaving, Cui Wenxuan suddenly remembered something, “Right, little grand-disciple, what do you think of this old man’s recent adjustments to the Evil Suppressing Immortal Master?”
Wu Xian looked in surprise at the white-robed Evil Suppressing Immortal Master beside Cui Wenxuan.
Sure enough, it had gained a bit more of a tipsy, free and easy feel, but it was still quite a distance from the real Ancestor Lu.
“Perhaps it’s still short of being bitten by a dog.”
After some thought, Wu Xian left behind a puzzling Mystic Eye comment and teasingly departed.
Leaving Cui Wenxuan in place, puzzled and unable to figure it out.
“Bitten by a dog?” Cui Wenxuan pondered, vaguely thinking of something, “Could it be that the Wang Family Members have started stirring trouble again?”
Was his little grand-disciple giving him a condition?
First help them deal with that kid from the Wang Family, and then he would provide further direction?
Mm, that must be the meaning.
Young as he was, he had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
That said, his little grand-disciple truly had remarkable spirituality and talent in Scroll Painting.
When he first heard that remark, he hadn’t taken it seriously, but after trying to adjust the concept, he discovered that the Evil Suppressing Immortal Master could indeed be optimized from this direction.
This was the spirituality and talent of a Scroll Painter.
Many times, the difficult problems you ponder over a lifetime, a true genius can spot just by glancing.
“Nothing to do today; might as well go to the Otherworld Outpost to relax and see how the outpost has developed recently.”
And so, Cui Wenxuan leisurely headed to the 【Underworld】 outpost.
