045 Subdued Cao Asheng, acquired the supernatural power [Water Escape Technique]
On the shore of Kunze Lake, the dense reeds sway in the wind.
On the deck of the water bridge extending into the deep water, Cao Asheng stood alone, quietly gazing into the distance.
He hasn't moved since Shuiwa dived into the lake.
Gradually, the sun set in the west, and the sunset glow, as brilliant as brocade, spread across the shimmering lake surface.
Until the last glimmer of light in the sky fades away.
He suddenly saw the lake surface churning and surging as if it were being cooked, with the water flowing to both sides and squeezing out a narrow channel.
Ning Kui walked from afar, stepping on the water steps, with a gourd hanging from his waist and a few treasure fish he had caught along the way.
"Lord Ning!"
Cao Asheng spoke, his voice hoarse, "Shuiwa, he..."
"He's dead. He was swallowed whole by the Dragon King."
Ning Kui did not conceal anything, but instead laid bare the truth to Cao Asheng.
He believed that Cao Asheng had witnessed the majesty and invincibility of the Dragon King.
If Cao Asheng still has the courage to draw his sword even when facing gods, then today is the opportunity to grant him the Dao Fruit of [Water Control].
The young man before us is about to embark on a brand new life.
But if he becomes despondent out of fear, then Kunze Lake will just be another mediocre fisherman.
He stared intently at Cao Asheng, witnessing his face change from pain to despair, and from that despair igniting a raging fire of revenge.
"The Dragon King!!"
Cao Asheng roared loudly at Kunze Lake, cursing over and over again.
With each shout, he mentally noted down how the Dragon King would die.
Unfortunately, reality is ultimately cruel and powerless, just like Cao Asheng kneeling on the deck and pounding his fists on the ground with utter helplessness.
His fists were bleeding, and the white bones were faintly visible, but the wooden board remained intact.
Not to mention the ever-flowing Kunze Lake, and the master of this great lake.
He was too weak.
"Anger alone is not enough; you must have power."
Do you want to have power?
Cao Asheng, who was wailing loudly, suddenly froze.
He raised his head, his face covered in tears and snot: "Lord Ning, please teach me martial arts!"
I'm willing to do anything! Please accept me!
Ning Kui had no penchant for manipulating people's hearts; witnessing Cao Asheng's anger and hatred was enough for him.
With a thought, a strange fruit, azure in color with swirling patterns on its skin, floated out from between his brows.
It is extremely beautiful, radiating a watery blue luster, magnificent and sacred.
"After consuming this Dao Fruit, you will possess the supernatural power of [Water Control], and all waters within a radius of thirty feet will submit to you as their king."
As for martial arts, I'll give you one hundred taels of silver. You can go to the county town and find a martial arts school to learn from.
I will check on your progress periodically and answer any questions you may have.
Ning Kui's words, word by word, fell into Cao Asheng's ears and formed a sentence that he could not understand at all.
It was like a dream.
He pointed to himself and asked, "Lord Ning, what must I pay in return? My life?"
In the stories my father told me when I was a child, such good things usually happened when a man-eating demon used bait to take the lives of fishermen.
Of course, Cao Asheng would be willing to give up his life.
I just hope to wait until he has taken his revenge before asking for it.
Ning Kui chuckled: "What is your life worth now? How much is it worth? Not even a single spiral of this Dao Fruit."
He bent down and stuffed the [Water Control] Fruit into Cao Asheng's hand, patted him on the shoulder, and then drifted away with his hands behind his back.
"Practice martial arts diligently and become stronger quickly."
Then, simply offer your loyalty.
……
As darkness fell, the ruins of the Ding Mansion remained brightly lit, with torches moving back and forth.
"Another secret room has been discovered! It contains at least twenty thousand taels, no, thirty thousand taels of silver!"
Immediately, the torchbearers surged forward like hungry wolves drawn by the smell of meat.
Magistrate Yun's furious voice rang out from the center of the torchlight: "Stop pushing, all of you! What are you looking at? This money is all for rebuilding Yugu County!"
As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, all things come to life."
The Ding family fell, but millions of ordinary people rose up.
After excavating for most of the day, the amount of silver already discovered is no less than 300,000 taels.
Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare treasures are not included.
With this money, Magistrate Yun was able to finally stand tall again as he rebuilt Yugu County.
"Brothers, clear out the side rooms for the people to stay in as soon as possible! It's late, and the injured people won't be able to withstand the cold dew!"
Magistrate Yun limped back and forth across the ruins, his feet covered in blisters.
Although he was a civil official, he still possessed the foundation of the Skin Refining Realm.
In other words, even a pair of feet wrapped in sheet metal would be worn through by now.
Everyone was incredibly busy, but everyone was full of energy and enthusiasm.
In the face of great disasters, even those constables who usually do nothing seem to have their dormant genes of justice activated.
When Ning Kui arrived, the festering flesh was piled up in a corner, emitting a terrible stench.
With this kind of environment, even if you offered it to someone, they might not dare to live there...
However, this is not the fault of the yamen runners; they simply don't have enough manpower.
With hundreds of trivial matters piling up, it's important to prioritize them.
Ning Kui sighed; he still had to work overtime!
With a wave of his hand, the water in the surrounding rivers silently rose into the air.
It envelops the flesh and blood that have become one from all sides.
These pollutants must not be dumped into the river, otherwise it could very likely cause an epidemic.
In fact, after only half a day in the sun, countless flies and mosquitoes had already been feeding and breeding on it.
The water swept them all up, enveloping them completely. Only the vast and boundless Kunze Lake could digest so much flesh and blood.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, as endless blood rain poured down on Kunze Lake, the water surface immediately began to boil.
Countless fish and shrimp flocked to the scene, eager to enjoy this rare feast.
After carrying tens of thousands of kilograms of weight for so long, even Ning Kui felt a little weak in the limbs.
He sat on the rocks by the lake, enjoying the breeze, watching the Ding family disappear from the world in this way.
After sitting quietly for a while, he sank his consciousness into the Temple of Consciousness. In addition to the Yin energy points, he also gained a lot of the innate supernatural abilities of the water beasts during the massacre that he had caused at the bottom of the lake.
Most of them are related to water control, so I directly added points to the water control skill.
The water control progress has now returned to [2300/10000].
What made him hesitate the most was a new supernatural power he had acquired.
[Water Escape Technique].
If he chooses to merge with [Water Control], he will directly gain the powerful ability to freely move within a 30-foot range in water.
It can also add several hundred more Yin energy points to the progress.
If kept alone, the beginner's [Water Escape Technique] can only be used to flash within a range of three zhang.
Moreover, perhaps due to the high level of supernatural power, it takes 1000 Yin Qi points to go from beginner to minor achievement.
The amount of Yin Qi points consumed by continuing to stack progress is astronomical.
But what if he later acquires other escape techniques and merges them into the great divine power [Five Elements Great Escape Technique]...?
What does it matter if some Yin energy points are consumed?
It's just a matter of killing more evil spirits!
Let's keep it for now!
Having made up his mind, Ning Kui turned his gaze to the Yin Qi Point column.
[Yin Qi Point: 7700]
What the hell!
Ning Kui suddenly stood up. He clearly remembered that he only had 2700 points when he left Kunze Lake.
He then abruptly turned his gaze toward Kunze Lake.
The Ding family is devastated.
What a good person, such a good person...
The Dragon King was also a good person; how could his divine curse preserve a person's resentment for so long...?
"So, with so many yin energy points, where should we add them?"
