Chapter 59

Although severely injured, a sinking ship still has three nails. Just as the Ground Spider was about to use a powerful potion to urgently recover its abilities, it realized that its storage ring was gone. This time, it was really in trouble, as all the life-saving medicines were in that ring.

His storage ring had already been stolen by a vine that the Hero had extended.

Without the life-saving medicine, the Ground Spider did not want to wait for death. If it had to die, it would take one down with it. Filled with boundless resentment, the Ground Spider prepared to self-destruct.

The sudden surge in the Ground Spider's body alarmed the Hero. It seemed this guy was planning to self-destruct and take him down with it. The Hero did not let him have his way. The Nether Guard Order in his right hand instantly transformed into an incredibly sharp claw, piercing through the Ground Spider's already tattered armor, and countless roots penetrated the Ground Spider's flesh.

The roots spread like a spider web inside the Ground Spider's body, and in the instant of self-destruction, the Ground Spider was sucked into nothingness.

The Hero regretted not being able to see the aftermath of the explosion.

The Ground Spider could not understand until its death how this guy, who had been gutted by Liang Jian Shan, could suddenly become so powerful. When it hid in the stealth card, it did not dare to probe with its divine sense, so it did not know that the Hero had already obtained the holy medicine.

After landing on the ground, the Hero began to inventory the spoils. He felt no guilt about counter-killing the one who wanted to pick up the dead cat; instead, he felt like he had come into a windfall.

Taking advantage of the old turtle still being unconscious, the Hero hurried to act, so as not to be forced to share the spoils.

After the Ground Spider's death, the soul mark on the storage ring disappeared. When the Hero's divine sense entered the storage ring, he was almost dancing with joy. Inside were over ten boxes of second-level ability recovery potions, special medicines for emergency healing and pain relief, restorative tonics, and more than ten first-level and several second-level ability evolution potions.

Second-level ability potions and tonics are regulated in the official market, and private sales are considered smuggling. A single second-level ability recovery potion requires several second-level energy pattern crystals. A standard box contains five vials.

Energy pattern crystals are obtained through barter. In the official energy pattern crystal market authorized by the Chinese government, the prices are heavily suppressed, but the safety is higher than in the black market. Most people would rather be overcharged than risk trading in the black market.

A single second-level ability recovery potion is already very valuable, let alone those few second-level ability evolution potions. The Ground Spider was already a Super Combat Body-level ability user, so these evolution potions were likely his spoils.

In addition to the potions and tonics, there were seven or eight patterned artifacts. Regardless of their level, anything with the word "pattern" was valuable.

What excited the Hero the most was not the equipment in the ring, but the patterned artifacts the Ground Spider itself was wearing. After the Ground Spider was sucked into nothingness, all its equipment fell to the ground.

The Ground Spider's gloves were a patterned artifact of the Destruction Card School. The gloves had only one control pattern engraved, without any pattern stones embedded, making them at most a mid-grade ordinary patterned artifact. This control pattern was used to control the cards. The Ground Spider's belt was a patterned artifact equipped with card patterned artifacts, containing six cards.

In addition to the gloves and belt, there was a pair of boots. The boots had a pattern stone embedded with a speed enhancement pattern, making them a small premium item.

The Hero could use all these items. He was particularly interested in the Ground Spider's cool card moves and began to sift through the Ground Spider's memories.

The Hero had already absorbed a drop of the Ground Spider's blood, integrating it into the living pattern. Now, he had transformed into the Ground Spider and received all its memories. He ignored the miscellaneous events of the Ground Spider's past and directly searched for the inheritance of the Card School.

He had only tried out of curiosity, but unexpectedly found the basic inheritance of the Card School. The more advanced inheritance could not be received because the Hero's realm had not reached the Super Combat Body level, so it was lost.

Although the advanced inheritance was lost, all the Super Combat Body-level Card School cultivation insights remained.

As long as he practiced how to use these cards, he could immediately get started.

The Hero pondered how to absorb the Ground Spider's Card School inheritance. When he tried to use these cards, he was stunned by his own ability. He shouted in his heart: "I am truly a genius!"

He had not expected that after completing the Life Creation, possessing someone's living pattern would grant him their abilities. After trying to control these cards, his ability to control them had already reached a divine level, almost on par with the Ground Spider. The only difference was in the realm of power, which prevented him from using the pattern techniques with these cards.

No one would have thought that there was such a freak in the world, an ability-awakened Life Master with the card control skills of a Super Combat Body-level Destruction Master.

To confirm his doubts, the Hero transformed into the living pattern of Qian Nv 7 and tried a few moves, becoming numb with excitement. Qian Nv 7 was a 9th-level ability-awakened user, and after the Hero transformed into her living pattern, he completely possessed her abilities.

Finally, the Hero transformed back to his original form and tried to use the abilities that the Ground Spider and Qian Nv 7 had cultivated.

After reaching the limit of numbness, he sighed: "So that's how it is."

The divine effect of the Life Creation Pill was too powerful, making the Hero such a prodigy. He possessed the insights and abilities of whoever's living pattern he had, without needing to transform into their living pattern.

The Hero could not help but exclaim: "The Way is the Way, and once understood, it becomes one's own Way. The Great Way is formless, and it is vast because it can contain all. There are countless Ways, and whatever can be used by me is my Way!"

The Hero had a profound realization and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, entering a state of spiritual clarity to understand his insights.

The night here had returned to tranquility, but the night in Tianchuan was not calm.

In a tall building in Tianchuan City, a father and daughter were sipping tea and playing chess. They were the Scorpion and his daughter.

The Scorpion was about to make a move when he noticed his father frowning, as if something had happened. He asked, "Father, what happened at the Hua family? Has that boy returned to the Hua family?"

Iron Tail shook his head and said, "It's because this boy hasn't returned to the Hua family that a very troublesome matter has occurred. The old man Hua has been cornered by his brothers and might soon be forced to take them to that place."

The Scorpion said angrily, "Damn it, this boy is playing hide and seek at the worst possible time. If we let Miss Long and her son's identities be exposed because of this, the Dragon Emperor will certainly blame us."

Iron Tail saw the worry in his daughter's eyes and said, "Don't worry, the Dragon Emperor won't sacrifice Miss Long and her son."

The Scorpion was stunned and said, "Does the Dragon Emperor intend to give up the meat in his mouth?"

Iron Tail felt that although his daughter was talented, she lacked strategy and a broad perspective. He said, "This is a great opportunity for the Dragon Emperor to surpass the other three emperors. He won't miss it. He will find a way to resolve the internal strife of the old man Hua and at least temporarily intimidate his brothers."

The Scorpion was even more puzzled and said, "We haven't planted a stronger pawn in the Hua family, have we? The third Hua has the support of the Xuanyuan family, and the fifth Hua seems to be in league with the 'Boss.' With these two mountains pressing down, if the old man Hua doesn't want to die, he will have to compromise."

Iron Tail chuckled and said, "Doesn't the old man Hua have Long Zaitian as his son-in-law?"

The Scorpion exclaimed, "The Dragon Butcher Long Zaitian? Isn't he the Dragon Emperor's youngest son?"

Iron Tail smiled but did not answer, indicating that it was her turn to make a move.
