I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

Jiang Qiue had previously seen Xia Feng studying an A-level Spiritual Clothes while in the Shuilian Cave on Witch Island.

But at that time, the A-level Spirit Paper didn't even have an Enlightenment Trace; it was completely worthless. At most, it helped Xia Feng recall the Spiritual Particle Structure he had learned but forgotten.

"Xia Feng, how long did it take you to learn your first A-level Spiritual Clothes?"

Jiang Qiue's clear voice resonated in Xia Feng's mind.

Xia Feng glanced sideways at the woman in the green dress, raised his hand to his mouth, and made a nasal sound, "Hmm?"

Jiang Qiue pursed her lips and released his speaking permission.

"Cunning fox, let me tell you this, my genius is unparalleled throughout ancient and modern times. Even that old fogey Huang Ye can't compare to me~"

The wildly arrogant voice of a young boy rose in Jiang Qiue's mind, prompting her to take a deep breath, "Dare you address me like that again? Don't blame me for embarrassing you in public."

"..." Xia Feng, feeling the malevolent glare that threatened to kill, hesitated in his speech.

Seeing him scared, Jiang Qiue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the odd sensation of being called a cunning fox, and frowned, "So, how long did it actually take you to learn the first A-level?"

"Eighteen minutes," Xia Feng said with lightly raised eyebrows and a proud expression.

Jiang Qiue let out a 'hah' sound, "Do you know why Ye Li Kong, Justice Saint, and these people are called super geniuses?"

"Why?" Xia Feng blinked.

"Because they managed to learn their first A-level Spiritual Clothes within 20 years, which to ordinary people, is already an incredible speed."

"Especially that guy Ye Li Kong; from what I know, it took him only 8 years to learn his first A-level. As for Justice Saint, he's always been secretly trained by the Church Court and rarely shows himself, but I guess it won't be much different."

"Oh." Xia Feng nodded, then curiously asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" Jiang Qiue's coolly beautiful eyes glanced at him, "It took me two years, but that's already a tale from before the era of the gods."

Two years? Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, stroking his chin, "That being said, you, silly fox, are even more formidable than Ye Li Kong? You praised Ye Li Kong so much, I thought he was incredibly talented...."

"....."

Jiang Qiue, expressionless, shook her head with a faint voice, "Everyone's first A-level is different, and the difficulty of learning is naturally different too. Some A-level Spiritual Clothes are inherently difficult to master, while some are relatively easy by comparison.

Therefore, defining talent in a narrow scope based on years is not accurate. Ye Li Kong taking 8 years doesn't necessarily mean his talent is weaker than mine, unless it's the same Spiritual Clothes."

Hearing this explanation, Xia Feng mostly understood.

It was like the college entrance exam; every year the test papers are different, and the difficulty naturally varies. Just because Xiao Hong scored 150 points last year doesn't mean Xiao Ming, scoring 140 points this year, is less talented.

Does this mean that Jiang Qiue, who took 2 years to learn A-level Spiritual Clothes, isn't necessarily less skilled than Miss Mu, who only spent 18 minutes learning A-level?

emmm..... Xia Feng glanced at the woman in the green dress.

"So Xia Feng, how long did it really take you?" Jiang Qiue asked.

"Haven't I already told you?" Xia Feng replied with a faint smile, sincerely answering, "Eighteen minutes."

"..." Seeing this jerk wasn't telling her the truth, Jiang Qiue couldn't be bothered to ask again.

"Fine, I'll give you 18 minutes." Her icy face rarely curved into a faint smile, "Let's see what you can learn in 18 minutes."

"After 18 minutes, I will take back the Enlightenment Trace, don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Xia Feng's face was gently tapped by the woman in the green dress's delicate hand. He looked up, and high above the towering peaks, a pair of cold, fairy-like beautiful eyes looked down upon him.

Xia Feng couldn't help but want to laugh.

As the two communicated their thoughts via Mind Transmission, synchronized information appeared simultaneously.

[Mu Qingtong quickly scanned the surrounding Spiritual Particle Structure Diagrams and in less than an instant, memorized the "A·Blood Spirit Mechanism" with its 100% Spiritual Particle Structure Diagram]

[In the third instant, Mu Qingtong completed a deep analysis of high-level Spiritual Particle Structures such as the 'Six-Ring Vortex', and initially analyzed the underlying Spiritual Particle architecture of the "Blood Spirit Mechanism" — 10%]

1 instant = 0.36 seconds

Xia Feng realized Miss Mu's learning speed for A-grade Spiritual Clothes was becoming more and more terrifying.

Before, it was measured in minutes.

Now, directly in seconds or even instants.

[By the 30th second, Mu Qingtong surveyed the entirety, completed understanding and analysis of nearly ten thousand Spiritual Particle Matrices such as the 'Topological Ring Body Structure' and 'Dual Body Flow Moment Structure,' and after integrating these scattered structure matrices, you directly comprehend the mid-layer 20,008 Ten Thousand Square Core — 20%... 40%!]

A-grade Spiritual Particle Structures consist of Ten Thousand Square Cores, and a typical A-grade Spiritual Clothes will have between 1 and 10 thousand such cores.

The more cores, the more difficult it is to learn, and the more powerful the effects exhibited.

Xia Feng glanced at the construction of the Blood Spirit Mechanism, exactly 50,000 Ten Thousand Square Cores, of medium difficulty.

Miss Mu had learned over 20,000 Ten Thousand Square Cores in just 30 seconds, and was nearing the 50% mark.

While he pondered, a voice rang out in the distance.

"Enough, everyone. To enter the Blood Furnace, you only need to learn the first 100 Ten Thousand Square Cores. If you've memorized these 100, disperse and cultivate."

Ye Li Kong had memorized them in thirty seconds, glanced scornfully at the others still concentrating, shook his head, turned, and took a seat on a floating meteorite away from the crowd, closing his eyes to sit cross-legged.

With 24 days left until Beiqiu Abyss closed, Ye Li Kong estimated he could learn these 100 in at most 10 days, and if he was in good shape, maybe even in 7 or 6 days.

With the departure of Ye Li Kong, Justice Saint, Yan Si, and Theresa also found secluded places one after another.

Jin Jili and Tang Ruyan frowned as they watched these departures, then refocused, memorizing the 100 bases of the Ten Thousand Square Cores, let out a breath, and sat down cross-legged on the spot, closing their eyes.

Xia Feng watched these individuals with interest, realizing from their basic memorization of Ten Thousand Square Cores that Ye Li Kong truly was among the most formidable of these prodigies.

And Jin Jili and Tang Ruyan were a bit slower, ranking in the third tier. It was not clear if this Tang Ruyan was actually Miss Mu in disguise...

Xia Feng focused on the woman wearing a red cape, eagerly anticipating how he might exploit the scene of Miss Mu's confession to make this arrogant witch suffer a crushing social death.

[Mu Qingtong completed the full-state analysis of the upper-middle-level 'Vortex Structure' — 49%... 70%... 99%]

[100%! After a long and arduous 180 seconds of study, you have thoroughly comprehended all the structures of this A-grade Spirit Paper, successfully mastering the "A·Blood Spirit Mechanism"!]

Truly worthy of being Mu Shen, such speed, Xia Feng marveled internally.

Last time, learning A-grade·Blood Spirit Throne took 9 minutes, but this time only 3. Miss Mu's visibly swift progress was astonishing.

Simultaneously, new information emerged in Xia Feng's mind.

[A·Blood Spirit Mechanism]

[Blood Spirit Skill: You can use your own blood to manipulate the target's flesh. If your blood has positional attributes and is absorbed in large amounts by the target's soul, you can control the target's soul.]

[Current controllable target: Jiang Qiue]

[Note: This Spiritual Clothes is part of a set, which can be combined with other Spiritual Clothes to generate new abilities — Throne Mechanism]

[Throne Mechanism: Blood Spirit Throne and Blood Spirit Mechanism belong to the same set of Spiritual Clothes. When your souls are aligned with your Dual Cultivation partner and both of you know how to use these two types of Spiritual Clothes. You can commit suicide to incorporate your own flesh/Spiritual Pressure/Spiritual Base/Spiritual Quality into your blood, control the blood to cover the Dual Cultivation partner's body, forming an armor construction—

Basic ability: After you and your Dual Cultivation partner's construction merge and your minds unite, strength, agility, spirit, vitality, and General attributes are stacked.

Combined Spiritual Energy {To Merge}: This ability requires merging with the target, and the combination of both souls will give birth to a new power—]
