Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"Your reaction just now... was a bit exaggerated."

Wu Xiaode said.

He squatted on a chair with a sea bowl in front of him, filled with steaming beef noodles.

The man opposite held a cigarette in his mouth, squinting:

"Nonsense, I am the recorder of history, documenting events from various timelines, yet suddenly, someone who was supposed to be in the final abyss appeared right before me—"

"You'd be startled too if it happened to you."

Wu Xiaode contemplated, "Since you're the one who records history, you must have some notable strength."

A baby's cry came from the room.

"Strength? Laughable, I don't even have money, let alone strength."

After the man said this, he extinguished the cigarette, stood up silently, and took a bag of milk powder and a bottle into the inner room.

After feeding the baby, washing its bottom, changing the diaper, and coaxing it to sleep, he came out sweating and collapsed weakly on a chair—

Wu Xiaode finally confirmed that the man in front of him was indeed very weak.

"Buddy, any suggestions for my current situation?"

He tentatively asked.

The man waved his hand: "I can't even fly, how could I have any idea how to deal with evil demons?"

Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.

He just used the word "idea" twice in one sentence.

Is history really recorded by people like this?

"But I can tell you one thing." The man said.

"What?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"From a historical perspective, the Holy Realm is an isolated sun, always high above, always neutral. I really don't understand why something would happen to the Holy Realm." The man said.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, then said, "Because of the Evil Transformation?"

"Not at all. When the existence of the Holy Realm maintains neutrality and doesn't intervene in any conflicts, evil cannot taint them—"

The man exhaled a smoke ring and continued, "You have already acquired Xia Huilan's trait, protected from any evil contamination."

"You should understand this point."

Wu Xiaode nodded silently.

Indeed, if the Holy Realm originally held such a status, there must be something wrong with the whole affair.

Now the hunter is pursuing him, blocking him, waiting above the abyss without leaving.

Could it be...

The "Hermit" sequence really holds some unknown secrets?

Wu Xiaode immediately said:

"Thanks for the tip, I must go back immediately to check the clues Sarina left for me."

"Go ahead." The man said.

Just as Wu Xiaode was about to leave, he saw the man sitting there, holding a drink in one hand and flicking cigarette ash with the other.

The computer on the desk was still on.

The keyboard was rapidly typing small characters, appearing on the computer screen.

—It was the conversation between himself and the man.

Even this sentence was typed out.

In bold letters on the document page:

"Wu De Abundant."

"Abundant?" Wu Xiaode laughed self-deprecatingly, "Getting beaten up and hiding here, that counts as abundant?"

The man exhaled a smoke ring, put down his drink, and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"I used to be handsome too, but it went to waste."

"Little Wu, for ordinary people like me, and for all friends who care about history together—"

"Crush them."

Wu Xiaode nodded, then jumped out the window.

In an instant.

The abyss wall returned to its usual state.

The room from just now was nowhere to be seen.

Wu Xiaode stood on the cliff wall, suddenly feeling a bit regretful.

"That guy's life isn't great either, I should've left some gold for him just now..."

"Now his keyboard is typing out this sentence, I wonder what he's thinking."

"In any case."

"We'll meet again if fate allows."

He brushed aside his thoughts, touched the Holy Treasure Ring, and randomly selected an evil object fragment from the things Sarina had given him.

This was Sarina's trophy from the frontlines.

Wu Xiaode held the fragment in his hand and swung a fist forward with all his might.

"Saint-level Boxing Skill: Look Back Again!"

"If you clutch something that someone once touched, you shall reach the place they once were."

A punch was thrown.

The void immediately split open a crack, letting out a faint light.

Wu Xiaode contracted his body and dashed inside.

Landing.

All around was silent.

In the distance, a dark atmosphere of death drifted in the depths of the night sky.

Grey tombstones covered the ground.

Understood!

This was a Death World!

Sarina had actually been to a Death World.

This is wrong.

The fog in Wu Xiaode's heart grew thicker.

Sarina was originally searching for card set clues in a tunnel in Pangu World.

Later—

He found the first Pangu card "Two Worlds People."

After that, Sarina entered the Death World, striving for advancement in the death profession.

He helped her then.

The region she reached wasn't like this.

Later, she went to the frontlines.

He understood the whole process.

—How could she have been to a Death World he knew nothing about?

Sand... sand...

Wu Xiaode tread softly on the small grey stones, walking forward.

On the largest tombstone, the bottom left corner was marked with a sharp cut, engraving a character "Ming."

Ming.

Boss Ming.

This is his own title.

"Sarina... what exactly are you trying to tell me..."

Wu Xiaode muttered to himself.

He remained silent for a few moments, gently placing his hand on the tombstone, intending to carefully investigate the situation of this grave, when suddenly the entire tomb began to tremble slightly.

"Boom."

With a soft sound, both the tombstone and the mound disappeared.

A black card gently fell, caught by Wu Xiaode's hand.

The Evil Spirit Book abruptly opened.

Lines of small bronze characters emerged:

"Congratulations."

"You have obtained the fourth card of the Pangu Card Set:"

"Netherworld Tombstone."

"Description: The holder of this tombstone can directly gain an advanced Netherworld position. If you already have a Netherworld position, you will advance three levels immediately!"

"Your position: Nightmare Demon Palace Master has advanced by three levels."

"Current position is advanced to:"

"Hundred Thousand Senluo Hall Master."

"Description:"

"All who enter the Netherworld, their destinations are decided by you, and cannot be defied."

"Professional Exclusive Skill: Eternal Words Binding Fate."

"Explanation: To defy your decision is to become an enemy of the Netherworld, subject to an eternal curse, never able to find the Netherworld again."

"Additional Explanation:"

"Now you have collected five Pangu cards."

"When you collect six cards, you will obtain a second Pangu World Skill."

All the small characters vanished.

Wu Xiaode silently placed the "Netherworld Tombstone" into the Evil Spirit Book, letting out a long breath.

Sarina.

She had already found a Pangu card.

Yet she told no one, leaving it for him.

Could it be—

She had been preparing for this all along, perhaps even knowing what happened in the Holy Realm?

No.

He couldn't rest easy without clarifying this matter.

Wu Xiaode changed into another trophy from Sarina, held it in his palm, and once again initiated the Saint-level Boxing Skill "Looking Back Again."

He threw a punch.

The Void split open once more into a crack.

Wu Xiaode lightly slipped through the crack, arriving at another place.

It was utterly dark here, nothing was visible.

Strange.

This feeling seemed to be the world of the living.

Wu Xiaode casually released Holy Light, illuminating the surroundings.

This appeared to be a completely sealed cavern.

—Perhaps not a cavern, but some underground lava cave.

Considering Sarina's previous activities in the underground tunnels, this should be one of her hidden bases.

Sarina stood at the center of the cave.

"Sarina!"

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but speak out.

In the next instant, he realized that the person wasn't Sarina.

—It was her statue.

Still not right.

Wu Xiaode hesitated to approach, observing carefully.

This—

Seemed to be an empty shell.

A "shell" with Sarina's appearance.

Wu Xiaode walked to her back.

He saw a long crack along the back of the "shell," inside it was hollow.

Wu Xiaode instinctively placed his hand gently on the "shell's" shoulder, wanting to perceive what exactly this thing was.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched it, a line of small bronze characters appeared in the Evil Spirit Book:

"You have discovered the Holy Mummy Shell."

"Holy Artifact."

"When worn, you will automatically assume the identity represented by its appearance, and no True Ancient Demon King or Evil Demon will discern your identity."

Wu Xiaode shuddered all over.

So it means—

The "Sarina" accompanying him was actually some entity of completely unknown identity.

It was wearing the "Sarina" "shell"!

—What exactly is it!!!

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Exactly.

He can't kill Dead Bones.

The Angler could trap him in the final abyss, nearly killing him.

These were all extremely powerful Evil Demons.

But he feared them not!

Yet at this moment, seeing such a "statue", a sense of unease for the unknown truly emerged in Wu Xiaode's heart.

"Stay calm, Little Wu."

He patted his face, muttering to himself:

"No matter who it is, she should be on our side. Otherwise, why help me?"

As the words fell.

A line of brand new small bronze characters emerged:

"Your hand continued contact with the Holy Mummy Shell, and this shell has sensed your former 'Hermit' aura, beginning activation."

The anomaly suddenly occurred—

In an instant, that "Sarina" encompassed Wu Xiaode.

The next moment.

He directly transformed into Sarina!
