Chapter 23: Code Name: Demon King_1
Translator:549690339
After delivering a few instructions, Teacher Chang waved his hand to dismiss them.
After leaving the room.
A few senior students gathered around Pei Jinye, claiming they wanted to get to know each other, with an amiable demeanor suggesting they would be own people in the future.
Xie Heng, who previously led the way, also became much more polite.
In the course of the conversation, Pei Jinye ended up holding a handful of business cards.
When everyone had left, only Li Xiaoyin and Pei Jinye remained.
Li Xiaoyin cast a gloomy look, Junior, youve had a hard time keeping this from me.
After so many days together, she had had no idea that this junior, merely a high school senior with a simple background, was already an Awakener.
Pei Jinye shook his head with a wry smile.
Senior sister, you shouldnt tease me. Ive only awakened a few days ago. I intended to tell you, but you also know about Fang Hais situation. Ice Sister also told me to keep it low, so I had to hold back, he said.
Li Xiaoyin could understand, though she felt a bit jealous.
She sighed.
Glancing at the business cards in his hand, she advised meaningfully, Keep your wits about you, not everyone who smiles at you is a good person.
Pei Jinye curiously asked, Are these all the Inhouse Students of the Bronze Association?
Certainly not, there are more. However, theres a difference in intimacy, tonights were those in good terms with Teacher Chang.
Li Xiaoyin paused for a moment, pondering, then said, But as for the Bronze Association, apart from Lan Feng, indeed no one belongs to the Psychic Class. If you want to practice in this aspect, Im afraid Teacher Chang wont be able to help you. He specializes in the cultivation of vitality and combat techniques.
Pei Jinye nodded, Thank you for the tip, senior sister.
Regarding the Jiang family matters, perhaps Pei Jinye now knew more than Li Xiaoyin did.
This Jiang Lingsu was the heiress of the Jiang familys main branch, while the person the Old Gods Association wanted to capture was the heiress of the Jiang familys second branch, Jiang Nanhan.
Its worth mentioning that the current head of the Jiang Family is Jiang Nanhans father.
After leaving the Bronze Association, Pei Jinye was planning to return to his residence.
Buzz buzz!
His phone vibrated.
Pei Jinye checked it with an impassive face.
A message from Silver Art read: [10 PM at the Red Rose Bar, theres a mission.]
Pei Jinye deleted the message after reading it.
But within two seconds.
Silver Art sent another message: [Theres a masquerade tonight at the Red Rose Bar, go to the bar and say the password: The night is beautiful tonight, I want a shot of blazing fire.]
Pei Jinye:
Here we go again!
Why cant this guy say everything in one go?
Buzz buzz!
The last message from Silver Art: [Ive forgiven you for last time.]
Pei Jinye was suddenly full of question marks.
He looked up the Red Rose Bars location.
Good, it wasnt far from his place.
Pei Jinye went back home first, sat cross-legged on the floor, and started to study his attributes.
He hadnt used his [Proficiency +100%] yet.
He still excluded [Basic Breathing Method].
[Blood Drawing Art] was 89% Beginner, [Quake] had just reached Small Success
As for [Dream Hypnosis], it was still at 1% Beginner.
A 100% proficiency could directly elevate Blood Drawing Art to Small Success. I expect the amount of blood energy condensed will increase Correspondingly, physical strength must also be enhanced to avoid damaging the body due to an excess of blood energy.
Quake promote to Great Success?
Pei Jinye was somewhat tempted.
However, he ultimately decided to apply the [Proficiency +100%] to [Dream Hypnosis].
Thinking of how Lan Feng once used this technique with ease upon him, Pei Jinye envied it.
Being drawn into a dream, the blood spear devouring the soul, all in one breath, was far too tempting!
The next second.
The attribute panel updated.
[Dream Hypnosis]: 1% Small Success!
Scenes and insights of practicing the technique flooded into his mind.
Pei Jinye now had an epiphany, feeling as if, should he wish it, he could easily plunge someone into dreams for a lifetime.
However, there was a drawback the other persons spiritual power must not exceed his own.
As for how to distinguish spiritual power
Those who cannot be hypnotized are definitely stronger.
If only I could practice a technique to judge the strength of someones spiritual power, I wonder if the Jiang Family Business has one?
That very night, at 21:50.
Pei Jinye, wearing a mask, made his appearance at the Red Rose Bar, where there indeed was an event taking place that evening, with all those letting loose under the music wearing all kinds of masks on their faces.
Under the dynamic music, a dancer dressed as a bunny girl swung around wantonly, while a few men around her ripped open their shirts and flailed their arms, screaming.
Indifferent to his surroundings, he walked to the bar, The night is truly beautiful tonight, give me a shot of flaming liquor.
The bartender, who was wiping glasses and also wore a clown mask, gave Pei Jinye a drink with a smile and then gestured towards a small door next to him.
In the bustling corridor, Pei Jinyes disappearance went unnoticed by everyone else.
This way. Silver Art had apparently been waiting by the small door early on, astonished by Pei Jinyes fully armed disguise, even equipped with a voice changer.
Hes a comrade worth learning from
Pei Jinye silently followed.
Stepping into the secret passage, the raucous noise was immediately blocked out.
Silver Art whispered, By the way, Arrogance, are you Lan Feng?
Pei Jinye frowned, What do you mean?
He stopped in his tracks.
As if ready to act and leave at any moment.
Seeing his reaction, Silver Art hesitated, Weve received internal news the Investigation Team finished gathering evidence this afternoon, and the city hall ordered a raid of Lan Fengs home, claiming hes one of our Old Gods Association and the only person recently targeted has been you
Pei Jinyes face remained expressionless, You think I am, so I am?
Silver Art froze, scratching his head, I suppose that makes sense. But who does Lan Feng really work for? The poor guys been exposed, thats pretty harsh
Pei Jinye was silent.
The fact that the public identity of Lan Feng was discovered by the Investigation Team was indeed much earlier than he had expected.
However, the event was unfolding just like the script he had written.
About this, he had already communicated with Ice Sister.
Lan Fengs body had been frozen and stored away.
Ice Sister would no longer inquire this was also related to the fact that the information Pei Jinye revealed led her to mistakenly believe Lan Feng was just a minor member of the Old Gods Association.
Now, with Lan Feng defined as missing, it meant there was a target in the open to attract everyones fire power.
To Ice Sister and her group, it meant Lan Feng was dead, completely unaware that he had taken Lan Fengs memories.
But for Black Shark and Silver Art of the Old Gods Association Arrogance was still around, merely disguised differently on the surface
Right, Black Shark also asked me to pass on a message.
Silver Art spoke softly.
Pei Jinye looked over.
Silver Art whispered, He said you should change your code name, consider it as a newbie joining in. Recently, youve been too noticeable, and even Black Shark suspects somethings up internally. Besides, appearing as Arrogance in this guise would make it easy for others to notice something so starting today, youll move to undercover activities, and well coordinate together
What about Doctor? Pei Jinye inquired.
A twinge in his heart.
Could Black Shark already know he was Lan Feng?
Hes been brainwashed already, forgotten about what happened in the early hours. Besides, weve confirmed that the curse on you has completely failed, so youve been allowed to join this operation. By the way, what do you plan to call yourself?
God.
Unfortunately, that code name is already taken.
War King.
Sorry, that code name is also taken.
Pei Jinye looked on bleakly, How about Demon King?
That ones available, but isnt that title a bit heavy for you? You sure you want it? Silver Art looked over with a hesitant expression.
Pei Jinye spoke indifferently, Its just a code name, no need to make such a fuss.
Alright then. Silver Art muttered softly, I wonder if Witch will come looking for you if she finds out.
What did you say?
Nothing, nothing. Lets go in, Black Shark is waiting for us.
