Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

140.Chapter 140 It's Hard To Paint A Tiger's Skin, But It's Hard To Paint The Bones.

Chapter 140: It's Difficult to Draw the Bones When Painting the Skin of a Tiger, Knowing Someone's Face but Not Their Heart!

This is normal.

Survival in the apocalypse is like this.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest!

To be truly strong, one must ensure their own survival and gradually become powerful, reaching the peak.

Liu Zimo, who has long been accustomed to life and death, feels a slight sense of regret and sadness for the demise of those "good brothers" and "good sisters" from the past, but not much grief or shock.

After all, life must go on, right?

Moreover, many of these so-called "good brothers" and "good sisters" were merely acquaintances to him.

They didn't have deep relationships with each other, and he had even forgotten what some of them looked like.

The so-called familiar names but unfamiliar faces, perhaps it is like this.

In fact, Liu Zimo providing them with the best cultivation techniques and martial resources can already be considered going above and beyond, very generous.

If they themselves are not capable enough to survive in the competition for survival in the apocalypse, what can be done?

Swish!

With a thought, Liu Zimo directly imprinted the "Pingyang Breathing Technique," "Pingyang Ten Forms," "Yuanling Jue," and "Highest Induction Chapter" into the minds of Zhu Quan and Qiu Jiuer, the two newcomers.

Then he withdrew his divine sense and no longer interfered too much.

One reason was that he didn't want to spoil them and play the role of a nanny.

The second reason was that they wouldn't stay here for long and didn't have time to communicate with the two of them too much.

He would leave the remaining resources for promotion in the military warehouse. If the two of them were capable enough, they would naturally be able to exchange for them through their own efforts in the future.

Liu Zimo has always believed that a true strong person only needs a suitable opportunity.

And now, Liu Zimo is the one providing this opportunity.

As for whether the two of them can seize this opportunity, rise up strongly, and soar to the sky, it depends on their own abilities and character.

At this moment.

Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao have completed their mission and returned to Liu Zimo's side.

"Master, the task is done. Are we going to leave immediately like before?" Xiao Feihong asked crisply as she handed the martial arts consultant badge back to Liu Zimo.

Along the way, they had already become accustomed to their master's way of doing things.

They would never stay in the same city for too long.

"Not in a hurry." Liu Zimo shook his head slightly and said, "Longhai City is different from the inland cities we passed by before. The people here are very hospitable!"

"If you don't believe me, look, they even sent people to see us off all the way here!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion towards the empty space on the left. Immediately, a figure appeared out of thin air.

A middle-aged man in his fifties, with a golden lock shadow floating above his head, fell directly at their feet.

Liu Zimo was the first to notice this eye-catching golden lock shadow and discovered his presence in advance.

At this moment.

The middle-aged man, who was suddenly captured, couldn't help but show a surprised and horrified expression when he realized that he had been so easily exposed and fell into the hands of the surveillance target.

He had never been so easily discovered after awakening his invisibility ability!

So, who exactly is this young man in front of him?

Could he be the real special envoy hiding behind these two little girls?

However, he looks too young, doesn't he?

"Who are you people? Sneaking into my Longhai City like this, what is your intention?!" Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man pretended to be calm.

Instead of begging for mercy, he turned the tables and questioned Liu Zimo and his disciples with a strong tone.

From his appearance, it seemed as if Liu Zimo and his disciples were the captors, not him.

Bang!

Liu Zimo couldn't be bothered to deal with him and kicked him out, landing him in front of Xiao Feihong. He said in a calm voice, "Girl, make him tell everything he knows within three minutes!"

At this moment, Xiao Feihong also realized that they seemed to have been followed, and the person following them wasn't even at the Martial Master Realm.

It was truly embarrassing!

To think that she is already a master in the mid-stage of the Fetal Breath Realm, and her spiritual cultivation has even reached the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, yet she didn't notice the other party's presence!

Surely it must have been a joke for her master to see!

So infuriating!

It's all because of this damn soulless person!

Xiao Feihong's eyes were filled with anger, gritting her teeth, blushing, and speaking in a crisp voice to her master:

"Master, don't worry, it won't take as long as three minutes. Just one minute is enough for me to make him spit out everything he knows!"

"What are you going to do?!"

"I warn you, I am the director of the Longhai City Security Bureau. If you dare to use torture to extract a confession from me, be careful... Ah!"

Seeing Xiao Feihong approaching him with an unfriendly expression, the middle-aged man instantly had a bad premonition and quickly threatened her.

As a result, before he could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Xiao Feihong's mental attack, and his entire consciousness was completely controlled by Xiao Feihong.

"My name is Wei Shuangxi, 49 years old this year, male, 1.79 meters tall, weighing 76 kilograms. My martial arts cultivation is in the mid-stage of the Golden Body Realm. I have awakened the ability of invisibility. I am currently the director of the Longhai City Security Bureau..."

"It's not that I want to track you, it's Director Luo Hong from the Military Affairs Department who said that you are special envoys who came from the capital city. The valuable things on you must be more than what you have shown..."

"Director Luo wants me to first find out the exact number of people and their cultivation strength, determine your whereabouts, and then quietly bring people over to kill you and take the treasures!"

"Director Luo said, 'If people don't act for their own sake, heaven and earth will destroy them.'"

"Now it's the end of the world, the situation is chaotic, and communication is cut off. Even if you die here, you won't be found out."

"Even if people from the capital city come to investigate in the future, it will be who knows when."

"By then, your bodies will have long turned into the excrement of the monsters outside the city, and nothing will be found..."

Wei Shuangxi's eyes were dull, and the words in his mouth were like a bowl of scattered beans, continuously pouring out.

Even without Xiao Feihong deliberately asking or guiding, he voluntarily confessed everything clearly.

"How despicable!"

"To think that we thought Aunt Luo Hong was a good person before, but we didn't expect her thoughts to be so malicious!"

"Unforgivable! We must settle the score with that old woman!"

Both little girls were extremely angry.

Not only because Luo Hong had malicious thoughts and was two-faced, but also because she wanted to harm them.

Moreover, it is because they feel deceived and have always thought that Aunt Luo is beautiful and sweet, very close and kind.

They never expected that from beginning to end, she was deliberately deceiving them and was always thinking about the treasures they might have hidden on them!

"So I often teach you, when you are away from home, you must be more cautious in everything, especially towards strangers, you cannot trust too much!"

Liu Zimo was not angry, he spoke calmly and indifferently.

Similar things, similar people, he had experienced countless times in his past life, so he was no longer surprised.

However, he did not miss this opportunity to educate his disciples. He cleared his throat and said loudly:

"As the saying goes, when meeting people, speak only three parts of the truth, and do not completely trust them. It is difficult to draw the bones when drawing a tiger's skin, and it is difficult to know a person's heart by just knowing their appearance!"

"You must remember this lesson and never make similar mistakes in the future!"

This time, he was able to see through it in time, so it did not turn into a disaster.

But what if he is not by the side of the two girls next time?

You should know that whether it is in this Longhai City or other major cities, there are no lack of martial artists in the Martial Master realm.

If the two girls do not learn their lesson and fall into someone's ambush, whether they can escape alive in an unintentional situation is uncertain.

"We understand, Master!"

Both girls lowered their heads and nodded vigorously.

When they looked up again at Wei Shuangxi, who was right in front of them, and the military office not far away, a hint of sharp killing intent and hostility unconsciously appeared in their eyes.

"Go, do what you want to do!"

Liu Zimo not only did not dissuade them, but also encouraged them:

"As disciples of Liu Zimo, I cannot allow others to plot against and harm you!"

"Some people will never know what it means to be respectful and fearful unless they are taught a lesson!"

While speaking, Liu Zimo's thoughts moved, directly binding the golden lock shadow above Wei Shuangxi's head.

【Binding successful! Your good brother Wei Shuangxi is online, currently available for binding (81/100)】

Leeks cannot be wasted.

After all, he is a mid-level Golden Body realm cultivator, and he has awakened the ability to become invisible and opened up his sea of consciousness. He cannot let him die in vain.

In fact, when Liu Zimo discovered that Wei Shuangxi had hostility and murderous intent towards them, he had already sentenced him to death in his heart.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, Luo Hong, he was just a peak Golden Body realm cultivator, nothing to be feared.

But the Wei Shuangxi in front of him had awakened the same invisibility ability as his father, Liu Yi.

Even without the assistance of the "Blink Technique," his invisibility ability was not flawless and could not hide from Liu Zimo's divine sense perception.

However, he still had the potential to become a stealth cultivator. In any case, Liu Zimo would not let such a dangerous person stay alive!

He didn't have the habit of raising tigers, and he wouldn't show mercy just because Wei Shuangxi had rare abilities.

As long as they were enemies, whether they were demons or humans, they had to be killed early on in order to feel at ease!

Swish!

The blade flashed.

It was Xiao Feihong summoning her "Immortal Slayer Demon Blade." Without any hesitation, she directly beheaded Wei Shuangxi in one strike, completely ending his life.

Then, the two women swayed and flew towards the military office they had just been to, seeking revenge on Director Zhou Hong, who was two-faced.

At this moment, Liu Zimo also heard a corresponding prompt in his ear:

"Your good brother Wei Shuangxi has had a string of bad luck and disasters. He was beheaded by a human warrior and died on the spot, his soul returning to the heavens!"

"The 'Heaven Thief' innate attribute has been triggered passively. You have inherited half of the remaining gifts left by your good brother Wei Shuangxi before his death. Stealth Technique +50, Martial Dao cultivation +50, Spiritual Power +30, Soul Strength +15."

"Your good brother Wei Shuangxi has gone offline. Currently, you can bind objects (80/100)."

Huh?

What is Stealth Technique?!

Liu Zimo was startled, but when he sensed the sudden emergence of a special energy in his sea of consciousness, he was instantly overjoyed.

He never expected that after Wei Shuangxi's death, he would actually inherit his invisibility ability!

Is this too awesome?!

Before, when he could share the martial arts and cultivation experience of the bound objects after their deaths, Liu Zimo already thought that the "Heaven Thief" ability was awesome.

With this cultivation experience, even if he faced martial arts and techniques that had never been practiced or studied before, he could still instantly master and apply them.

But now, the "Heaven Thief" ability could even steal the abilities awakened by other ability users. This operation was truly beyond Liu Zimo's expectations!

Before this, he had never thought that the "Heaven Thief" ability could actually have the power to steal the abilities of other ability users!

This was no longer simply awesome; it was like a little cow flying on a plane, reaching the sky!

"Invisibility!"

Liu Zimo silently recited in his heart, his mind surging.

Then, he felt an invisible force field overflowing from his sea of consciousness, instantly enveloping his entire body.

In an instant, his entire figure began to fade and become transparent like nothingness, until it completely disappeared!

"Huh?!"

"Master, when did you comprehend the Yin-Yang Laws and awaken the Invisibility Divine Ability?"

The old turtle, who had been sleeping on Liu Zimo's shoulder, was suddenly awakened by the invisible force field enveloping it.

When it saw that the new master was using the Invisibility Divine Ability to conceal his aura, it couldn't help but be astonished.

"Master's talent is truly extraordinary. He has already begun to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao and has achieved something!"

"Tsk tsk!"

"I'm not just flattering you, Master. With your outstanding talent and comprehension, even in ancient times, you would have been able to dominate the world and laugh at the heroes!"

While habitually flattering, the old turtle was also amazed.

Never did it expect that its new master, who was only twenty years old, had already touched the mysteries of the laws before officially reaching sainthood.

He even directly comprehended one of the three most difficult Divine Abilities, the Invisibility Divine Ability!

"So awesome!"

"With such talent, even the old Taoist priest back then might not have been as good, right?"

"If I remember correctly, the old Taoist priest seemed to have officially awakened and comprehended the first kind of Great Dao Laws when he was around fifty years old, right?"

"Not to mention the old Taoist priest, even I, as a turtle prodigy, only awakened my clan's 'Heavenly Eye' Divine Ability after reaching adulthood, relying on my own bloodline talent. After that, no matter how much my cultivation improved, I never comprehended even a trace of additional power from the laws."

"Really, people die when they are compared, and goods are thrown away when they are compared!"

"But speaking of it, could this new master really be the reincarnation of the old Taoist priest?"

"Even if it is the old Taoist priest himself, he wouldn't be this awesome, right?"

"..."

The turtle muttered to itself, constantly amazed.

Who could have imagined that it had only slept for a few days, and its master had already directly comprehended the Invisibility Divine Ability, which was extremely rare even in ancient times!

Such a heaven-defying talent and comprehension... made the turtle envious!

Liu Zimo, upon hearing this, felt a slight movement in his heart.

Divine Ability, huh?

It seems to be true!

The various abilities awakened by the human race's ability users, to some extent, seem to have a similar effect to the innate Divine Ability possessed by the Turtle of Longevity and the Crane of Eternal Life.

The difference is that the power of the human race's abilities is limited, far from being as powerful and unfathomable as the innate Divine Ability possessed by the Turtle of Longevity and the Crane of Eternal Life!

If we really compare them, abilities can be considered as a greatly weakened version of innate Divine Ability, and their power is far from being comparable to true innate Divine Ability!

As for why the Turtle of Longevity believes that its owner's invisibility ability is a law-based Divine Ability and does not feel that it has been weakened much, it is probably related to the fact that it just used the "Blink" ability at the same time as invisibility!

The "Blink" ability is like a patch and amplifier that can amplify and enhance the invisibility effect of the invisibility ability by ten or even a hundred times, which is why the Blink ability has a mysterious power similar to true Divine Ability!

"Although abilities are not true Divine Ability, the power field they possess, which is the power of the law mentioned by the Turtle of Longevity, should not be fundamentally different!"

"If there is a chance to 'steal' more abilities in the future, it should be of great help to the comprehension of the laws and the Great Dao in the future..."

Boom!

A loud roar not far away startled Liu Zimo from his contemplation. He looked up at the military headquarters in Longhai City.

At this moment.

Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao were already fighting against the strong ones from the military headquarters. The roar just now was the spiritual energy shock generated when the three Grandmasters exerted their full power!

Indeed.

The military headquarters had long been prepared.

After tearing off their masks, they immediately dispatched two Grandmasters to take down the two girls in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, even though they sent out two Grandmasters, they still underestimated the combat strength of the two girls.

Not to mention Xiao Feihong's astonishing talent for battle, she also held an indestructible "Immortal Slayer Blade" in her hand.

Just the "Forbidden Martial Domain" Divine Ability that Xiaoxiao can activate at any time in her sea of consciousness is enough to halve the strength of these two Grandmaster-level martial artists.

So.

When Liu Zimo saw Lou Xiaoxiao release the "Forbidden Martial Domain" and envelop the two Grandmasters with a layer of eerie black mist, he knew that this battle had no suspense.

He didn't even need to make a move, the two little girls could take care of all those people.

However, the opportunity to harvest the vegetables in front of him must not be missed.

Liu Zimo's figure flashed, appearing invisible in the military headquarters, and quickly bound the two Grandmasters with red and purple lock shadows on their heads.

"Binding successful! Your good brother Zhou Santong is online, currently bindable objects (81/100)."

"Binding successful! Your good brother Liu Yang is online, currently bindable objects (82/100)."

It's a pity.

These two Grandmasters, who clearly had a bright future and the potential to become Martial Saints, had to become enemies with him and his disciples.

Now, even if they turned into vegetables to be harvested, it was all their own doing, their own misfortune!

Before Liu Zimo's sigh could land, he saw Xiao Feihong take the opportunity to enter the mist.

Swish!

With a swift motion, she simultaneously beheaded Zhou Santong and Liu Yang, the two Grandmaster-level experts.

Thump! Thump!

As their heads fell to the ground, their headless bodies also fell with a loud crash!

"Your good brother Zhou Santong had a run of bad luck and suffered one disaster after another. He was beheaded by a human martial artist and died on the spot, his soul returning to the heavens!"

"The 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent passive ability has been triggered, and you have inherited half of the legacy gift left by your good brother Zhou Santong before his death. Splitting Tendons and Dislocating Bones +100, Martial Dao cultivation +80, Spiritual Power +10, Soul Strength +10."

"Your good brother Zhou Santong has gone offline, currently bindable objects (81/100)."

"..."

"Your good brother Liu Yang has gone offline, currently bindable objects (80/100)."

Awesome!

The two Grandmasters have bestowed Liu Zimo with more than 160 years of martial cultivation!

This has made Liu Zimo, who was already at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, even more refined in his martial aura!

Although he didn't directly break through and advance to the True Saint realm.

But his internal energy and personal combat power have both significantly improved!

Especially the Turtle of Longevity perched on his shoulder, after sensing the sudden surge in Liu Zimo's cultivation strength, couldn't help but start to doubt whether this new owner is the reincarnation of that old Taoist.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the sudden and repeated surge in cultivation this time, if it wasn't for the awakening of past memories and the legacy gifts!
