Zhong Kui's Diary
Mengmeng?
Could it be that Mengmeng from Shen Sipan is Song Xi? But isn’t Song Xi from the Song Family? How did she end up as a subordinate of Judgment of Life and Death?
Just as I was puzzled, a beautiful woman gracefully walked out of the wooden house, standing behind Shen Sipan. Her exceptionally lively big eyes, black as jewels and crystal clear, could only belong to Song Xi.
Upon seeing me, Song Xi made a peace sign beside her head and greeted me, “Hi, Ghost Brother, it’s been a while. You’ve gained a bit of weight!”
Oh, come on!
I pointed at Song Xi angrily and said, “You liar! Aren’t you from the Song Family? How could someone from the Song Family associate with Judgment of Life and Death?”
Song Xi shrugged dismissively and said, “Ghost Brother, good birds choose good trees to perch on. Isn’t it reasonable for me to find a better Boss to work for?”
“A good Boss?” I laughed in anger. “You’re just a fool!”
Do the people from the Song Family not know about the legends of ancient Demons? Don’t they understand that if Judgment of Life and Death regains consciousness, it would mean doom for humanity? Frustrated, I couldn’t confront her directly; bringing it up now would only alert Shen Sipan.
At that moment, I had nothing but curses to express my feelings.
“I just called out Mengmeng to greet you and let you understand the truth of the matter; I didn’t ask you to scold her,” Shen Sipan flicked off some ash from his cigarette and said with a smile. “Zheng Nan, what’s done is done. Since you didn’t notice back then, getting angry now won’t change anything.”
I took a deep breath and nodded. “Alright, continue.”
"In order to help you learn the Divine Skill, I put in a lot of effort. The taste of that layer of Starlit Barrier in the dry well wasn't too bad, right?" Shen Sipan smiled.
It turned out that the transparent Barrier was his doing. To force me to learn the Kill You Divine Skill, he had indeed spent quite a bit of thought. I coldly laughed and said, "No need. What is this so-called Starlit Barrier anyway? Some kind of talisman?"
"Haha, this Starlit Barrier is not a talisman; it was personally cast by Mengmeng," Shen Sipan said with a grin, pointing behind him without turning around.
"How is that possible? She's only at Master-Level. How could she possibly cast a Spell above Grandmaster Level?" I shouted.
Shen Sipan did not answer me but curled his thumb, which was originally pointing at Song Xi, and simultaneously extended his Index Finger, pointing forward.
"Who says someone at Master-Level can't cast a Grandmaster Level Spell?" Song Xi stepped forward, forming a Spell with her hands and pointing into the air, where an Azure Dragon suddenly appeared.
The Azure Dragon twisted in the air for two circles before raising its head, unleashing a water column two meters in diameter that shot directly at a distant mountain peak. With a thunderous sound, the mountain was blasted open, rocks and trees flying everywhere, creating an impressive spectacle.
This kind of power was even stronger than my own Spell, clearly something that could only be executed at the Grandmaster Level or even the Soul Level.
Shen Sipan waved his hand, and once Song Xi had stepped back behind him, he slowly said, "Mengmeng's earlier cast was at the level of a Soul Level Spell, but her own magical power is only at the level of a Master-Level. So why could she cast a Soul Level Spell?"
"Right? Why?" I asked curiously.
"Because I taught her an enhancement Spell called Attack Blessing. It temporarily boosts the caster's magical power by two levels. Although Mengmeng is only at Master-Level, with that temporary boost, she can reach the level of a Soul Level."
"Wow, that's amazing! Then if you cast this Attack Blessing again, wouldn't it be overpowered?" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Ha ha, that won't be the case because this Spell was developed by me. Its reference standard is my current Level, so the highest Level it can achieve is just my current Level. Therefore, this kind of Spell is useless to me." Shen Sipan laughed heartily for a while before he calmed down and continued, "Since we're talking about levels, let me explain the levels of magical power to you, Zheng Nan. You are currently at Grandmaster Level, and after Grandmaster Level comes Soul Level, followed by Divine Punishment Level..."
"Are you an expert at Divine Punishment Level?" I frowned.
"Just let me finish." Shen Sipan flicked the cigarette butt he was holding into the nearby stream and said with a smile, "Divine Punishment Level is followed by the Guardian Level, then the Void Level, and after that comes the Compassionate Voyage Level. Only after the Compassionate Voyage Level do we reach my level, the Xuan Huang Level."
"Damn, are there really that many levels?" I scoffed. "I haven't heard of any of those except for Soul Level."
"It's simple; that's because Soul Level is an extremely rare existence. Moreover, advancing from Soul Level to Divine Punishment Level is exceptionally difficult, akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Because of this, currently, there is a vacuum at the levels of Divine Punishment Level, Guardian Level, Void Level, and Compassionate Voyage Level. Over the past Billion Years, only a handful of people have experienced these levels." Shen Sipan cleared his throat and changed the subject: "This is meaningless; let's continue discussing how to train you."
I took a deep drag on my cigarette, tossed the butt at my feet, and ground it under my shoe as I muttered, "So back then outside the dry well, no one forced you?"
Shen Sipan chuckled lightly: "Even if I were an ordinary person without magical protection, wouldn't I still have Mengmeng beside me? How could I possibly be forced?"
"Damn, why do you look like you're asking for trouble?"
After cursing under my breath, I continued to ask, "After I activated all the magic circles, you had A Li take me to reabsorb the contents of the Book of Life and Death, just to enhance my Yin-Yang abilities?"
"That's right. Only by merging all the Yin-Yang Energy from the Book of Life and Death with you can you possibly defeat Jin Manyuan! Furthermore, only by utilizing Yin-Yang abilities can you hope to defeat him." At this point, Shen Sipan's smile faded as he said solemnly, "From now on, there will be no more appearances of the Book of Life and Death, because they have all been merged with you and no longer exist."
"Don't joke around." I shook my head. "First of all, Jin Manyuan himself also has a Yin-Yang Physique. My Yin-Yang Energy has no advantage against him. Secondly, why go through all that trouble? Can't you just teach me this so-called Attack Blessing Spell? With that alone, I could instantly rise to... what level above Soul Level was it?"
"Divine Punishment Level!" A Li reminded me from the side.
I nodded at A Li and said, "Right! Divine Punishment Level. By then, I won't be any less impressive than Jin Manyuan, right? Killing him should be a piece of cake."
"I must emphasize that your Yin-Yang Physique is far purer than Jin Manyuan's. Because of this, to kill him, you can only start with your Yin-Yang Energy and integrate it into the Kill You Divine Skill. There are no other options," Shen Sipan coughed lightly and reiterated, "Zheng Nan, I'm not joking with you."
"Then can you teach me Attack Blessing? You wouldn't be upset about that, would you?" I asked with a smile.
"Attack Blessing has a cooldown period of three. If you can't take down Jin Manyuan in one hit, then you'll be in big trouble afterward," Shen Sipan chuckled. "The only way is to increase the power of the Kill You Divine Skill. For this, I've arranged for A Li to maximize your Yin-Yang abilities and also set up an Illusion to enhance your elemental energy comprehensively."
"What’s the use of enhancing this elemental energy?" I asked in confusion.
"How can you be so clueless?" Shen Sipan said, half-amused and half-annoyed. "Enhancing elemental abilities naturally increases the power of the Kill You Divine Skill."
"Didn't you teach me the Washing Marrow and Strengthening Tendons Classic?" I countered. "I can already execute the full set of Kill You Divine Skill."
"That's my oversight," Shen Sipan shook his head with a wry smile. "Initially, I thought that as long as there was enough energy for the Kill You Divine Skill, it would suffice. Later, I realized that the quality of the energy is crucial."
After a pause, Shen Sipan continued, "So, I've made a series of arrangements in the Illusion. If you can break through from the last layer of the Illusion, it means your Kill You Divine Skill has reached a new height. This dual-attack Divine Skill has a significant chance of killing him even if you're one Level below Jin Manyuan."
"A significant chance? How significant is this 'significant chance'?" I frowned and asked.
"About thirty percent!" Shen Sipan raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Thirty percent is considered a significant chance?" I immediately got angry.
"You can kill him with just three punches, isn't that a pretty good probability?" Shen Sipan laughed.
"That's nonsense. If I hit him a thousand times and only the last three hundred punches count, that's still only a thirty percent chance. Wouldn't those first seven hundred punches just wear me out?" I started to argue, anyway, that thirty percent didn't seem reliable.
"By your logic, even if there's a ninety percent chance, you could explain it as failing with the first thousand punches and then succeeding with the next nine thousand. Isn't that also a ninety percent chance?" Shen Sipan seemed to be quite good at arguing as well; his words left me speechless.
After a moment of pause, I began to complain again, "If that's the case, why didn't you just tell me from the start? Just give me a few pills; why complicate things?"
"Zheng Nan, some things can't be forced unless you're pushed to your limits. It's like controlling Spell; if you’re not pushed to the edge, how could you possibly break through?" Shen Sipan smiled and lit another cigarette.
I nodded. Indeed, especially when using magic to simulate Three Thousand Harem Beauties nearly cost me my life.
"So that's how it is!" I took a deep breath. "I still don't understand one last thing. Jin Manyuan is just a Soul Level expert; he poses no threat to you. Why do you insist that I kill him?"
"Stop pretending to be confused. Everyone knows he is about to absorb the Sun God's energy. You summoned me to modify the Book of Life and Death to help him cover up, right? As soon as he absorbs the Sun God's energy, in just one year, his Level will rise to Xuan Huang Level. At that point, he'll immediately sense my condition and know I've fallen into darkness. He'll definitely come after me then." Shen Sipan sighed bitterly. "I'm doing this for self-preservation. By law, this is called self-defense!"
What an illiterate! Women call it self-pleasure; men call it self-gratification.
