With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 79: Enchanting Demon Mirror, Venom Reappears

The storm has calmed down.

Two days later at dusk, Meng Chuan was sitting in the dining room, having dinner with his uncle and aunt as usual.

Meng Yongzhi’s health had improved a lot, as he ate and cursed:

"Who could have thought Fang Jianxing hid so deeply, actually being such a scumbag!"

Xue Na picked up a large piece of meat and placed it in his bowl, saying with concern:

"You’ve survived a great danger this time, you must be careful in the future."

The other teammates in Meng Yongzhi’s group are still missing to this day.

Meng Chuan focused on the food in his bowl, not saying much.

Some things get complicated when concerned about, it’s better his uncle and aunt don’t know.

At this moment, a police report was being broadcast on the TV.

The serious faces of police personnel appeared on the screen.

The spokesperson for the police department solemnly said word by word:

"Citizens, the Human Demon case has been solved. Now, let me report the details to everyone."

The spokesperson attributed the creation of the Human Demon to the former Celestial Net Department director Fang Jianxing.

He has been listed as a fugitive wanted nationwide, and citizens are urged to be cautious.

...

Yong’an City Police Department office building.

Yuan Huan’s white whiskers were messily scattered across his chest, no longer the fairy-like image of the past.

At this moment, he was staring blankly at Long Jiu.

"That child has been an orphan since he was young, I watched him grow up, seeing him about to come of age, yet harmed by Fang Jianxing."

"I taught him martial arts, accepted him as my direct disciple, hoping he could learn something and uphold justice in the future,

who could have thought this deranged guy wouldn’t even spare a child!"

As Yuan Huan spoke, he angrily stood up and smashed the table before him into two halves with a punch.

Long Jiu stood up to pacify him, and only then did Yuan Huan continue to sit down.

"Luckily someone proved Xudong’s innocence, otherwise he would have died with the stain of being the Human Demon.

Chief Long, you must tell me who this person is, I must thank them in person."

"I empathize with your emotions, but due to confidentiality agreements, we can’t disclose it, please understand."

"But..."

Despite Yuan Huan’s repeated attempts to speak, Long Jiu sternly interrupted.

"I’ve made it very clear to you and you’re still not listening, do you really think the police department is your own dojo?"

Long Jiu’s authoritative voice echoed in the small space.

Seeing this, Yuan Huan cursed inwardly but remained silent outwardly.

Long Jiu nodded in satisfaction, then continued:

"Until Fang Jianxing is caught, you are still one of our key observation subjects. If you want to leave the city, you must come to the police department to file a report with me, understood?"

Yuan Huan opened his mouth, ready to argue, but swallowed the words before speaking.

"Forget it, as his teacher, not seeing such a big issue, I’m responsible and I will bear it."

Seeing his cooperation, Long Jiu’s tone relaxed somewhat, slowly saying:

"The identity of a key observation subject has an assessment period, as long as it’s confirmed you weren’t involved in it, just cooperate actively when needed.

I’ll vouch for you, striving to have the identity lifted as soon as possible."

"Forget it, forget it."

Yuan Huan smiled bitterly as he cupped his hands, calling out to the heavens in gratitude after leaving the police department.

"Although I still don’t understand what’s going on, without this damned Fang Jianxing taking the hit for me, today’s events might not have ended so well!"

...

Meanwhile, at Rongmin Garden, Unit Four, Building Number Three, Room 1503.

Today at rest, Liu Ru stayed at home, sitting before the dressing table, looking in the mirror.

Her face in the mirror no longer had those bright eyes and white teeth, now full of confusion and dullness, making it hard to discern her thoughts within.

Gradually, Liu Ru mechanically stretched out her hand to touch the reflection of herself in the mirror.

Just as her fingertips touched the mirror, a chill struck.

Looking at the mirror again, an ordinary vanity mirror unexpectedly reflected a man’s face.

The man’s face was as pale as paper, with bloodless lips, a signature smile on its corner.

It was the Seventh Seat of the Parasite Association, [Enchanting Demon Mirror, Fang Jianxing].

A gust of wind blew by, and Fang Jianxing’s eyes in the mirror showed a purple glow, gazing at Liu Ru.

After a moment, the purple glow faded, Liu Ru’s expression twitched, becoming lively once again.

"Mirror, looking at you, are you hurt?"

Fang Jianxing nodded in the mirror, then said:

"Minor injuries, but I need to return to Japan for a while, stay hidden for now."

Liu Ru indicated her understanding, then said with a sinister smile:

"Who could’ve thought our Lord Jing would also take a tumble because of a little brat."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Fang Jianxing’s face disappeared.

"Shut up."

"But it was indeed my mistake; I should have planted the Seed of Enchantment directly at that time."

The control of the Seed of Enchantment has its limitations, and he worried that having the master accompany him every day would expose it. That’s why he decided to try to beguile Meng Chuan.

Fang Jianxing thought to himself:

"A loss is a loss; there’s nothing to say."

"But this is just the first round. I won’t make the same mistake in the next round."

The person in the mirror showed no emotion, ordering Liu Ru:

"Listen carefully, find a chance to kill Meng Chuan directly while I’m away!"

Upon hearing the name "Meng Chuan," Liu Ru instinctively clenched her clothes, her brows furrowed tightly, unable to speak due to distress.

She lowered her head, trembling all over, as if battling against something.

On the other side of the mirror, Fang Jianxing seemed indifferent to her reaction, continuing to speak on his own:

"This child is advancing quickly; if not eliminated early, he may become a great threat."

He was concerned about Meng Chuan’s rapid progress but was temporarily unable to deal with it.

Because during the fight with Luo Guanyun and Long Jiu, to escape, the Seed of Enchantment within him was completely shattered, so he went to Japan to return to the Parasite Association headquarters to repair the Seed of Enchantment inside him.

Moreover, due to the harsh environment in Great Chu, he couldn’t kill wantonly to refine the seed, making it easier to act upon returning to Japan.

Right after Fang Jianxing finished his words, Liu Ru’s tremors intensified, her entire body as if being struck by lightning.

In an instant, the left half of her face seemed enveloped by a layer of black liquid, gradually twisting and transforming into a fluid liquid shape, then her left eye turned into a narrow, white giant eye.

A chilling, sinister hiss came from her mouth, the sound eerie and cold.

After the transformation ended, she extended a narrow black tongue, licking around the corners of her mouth before replying:

"Rest assured, Mirror, I will definitely consume him."

...

Half a month later.

Within the Martial Arts Dojo at Ping’an Middle School.

Meng Chuan’s agile figure flashed and darted among several wooden stakes, his movement causing the stakes beneath him to sway slightly, yet his balance remained unaffected.

At the moment, he was holding a phone, answering a call while dodging Teacher Chen Tie’s attack.

"Okay, okay, Master Luo, I’ll come over right after school."

During this period, Luo Guanyun had gone on a trip, only returned this morning, and had just called Meng Chuan, asking him to come by tonight.

Not far away on a wooden stake.

Teacher Chen Tie’s face was flushed red, like an enraged beast, charging towards Meng Chuan.

His body was burly, each step causing the wooden stakes to creak under pressure.

"Are you seriously still on the phone? Do you look down on me?"

After putting away his phone, Meng Chuan noticed Chen Tie was already close by, and with a burst from his Inch Step, he spun around the opponent like a spinning top.

Chen Tie, enraged beyond measure, leaped to grab Meng Chuan, but Meng Chuan deftly dodged, causing Chen Tie to lose his footing instantly, nearly falling off the stake into a mishap.

"Hahaha, look, Mr. Tie is as clumsy as can be."

The students watching below the stake started laughing uproariously.

Some went further, with several students lying on the ground, bouncing up and down, deliberately mimicking a bear’s movements.

Chen Tie was instantly fuming with rage.

"Stop, stop, stop! I’m done training!"

Saying that, he directly jumped off the stake, grabbed a student imitating his movements, and began to pound him fiercely.

"Meng Chuan has the Emperor’s Sword, do you have it too?"

"Laugh at me, and I’ll thrash you today!"

...

Disregarding the commotion below, Meng Chuan continued to dodge and turn on the stakes.

"Keep practicing, don’t get distracted. Must seize this opportunity for enlightenment!"

Prior to the sparring with Teacher Chen Tie, Meng Chuan’s Inch Step had reached Perfection: 94%.

Just during the sparring, he felt a slight swell of pain in his foot, and persevering in practice, he noticed a marked increase in proficiency growth.

At this moment, he recalled a saying from ancient qinggong masters: Wisdom transmits to the foot, heart reaches the spirit of acupoints.

It means that there are many acupoints at the bottom of the foot; when nearing a breakthrough, one must undergo rigorous practice through great wisdom, to transform the acupoints.

This is the sign that Inch Step is about to break through the limit.

Like a wild storm, Meng Chuan rampaged on the stakes, sometimes crashing down like a falling mountain, sometimes floating lightly like a feather in the wind.

He practiced for a while longer, the swelling pain in his foot gradually becoming lighter but still not breaking through the limit, so he took a moment to check a panel.

"Inch Step: Perfection (94%) → (98%) Awaiting Limit Break"

"Still missing two percent progress."

If he didn’t seize this moment of open acupoints to break through, the remaining proficiency would take at least three or four days to endure.

Suddenly, Meng Chuan had an epiphany; he remembered a perfect spot for practicing body technique he used before.

In the school parking lot.

Gently touching the smooth, rounded parking stone, Meng Chuan smiled knowingly.

"Parking stones are harder to stand on than stakes, stimulating the acupoints more deeply, very useful!"
