Long Chen and the rest left to the Blood Killing Hall, they picked up Enpuda's statue's head and brought it away. They dug a huge pit and put the head inside upside down, making a container as there was the power of faith inside the head. Long Chen had some people build a bunch of huts over it and he gave out Detoxification Pills, the news spread out far and wide as people came to see Long Chen, but then they found out the use of the Pills and were happy.
The Detoxification pills would clear the pill poison from the body and expel it from the body.. Through shit. Basically Long Chen used all these people to fill Enpuda's head with shit. It wasn't just satisfying, but also useful. The shit was filled with pill poison and slowly got rid of the power of faith in the head.
It was a 2 for 1 special. Cutting off Enpuda's influence in the Tianlan Region while simultaneously destroying Enpuda's reputation.
Cross came along and his eyes turned, looking at all the people. Book after book was filling the Library, he was ecstatic. Basically his eyes would be turning all day as he looked at more and more people.
He collected techniques from everyone and left with Long Chen after getting them from everyone. They returned to the Academy and heard a loud shout "Where's Long Chen?! Do you dare fight?" everyone was shocked, people still fought Long Chen? Was this guy's head full of shit like Enpuda's?
Long Chen and Cross went over to look, there was a boy, who said "I'm Xu Zixiong! I came to fight Long Chen! I traveled over the Sea of Demons to fight him!" Long Chen felt it was funny, and Cross said "Ohhh! A barbarian!" another book was collected.
Long Chen said "Barbarian blood?" Cross nodded and said "Just a trace. A miracle he even awakened First Generation Blood." Cross walked over and poked Xu Zixiong, sending him flying like a meteor through the sky.
Cross was stunned and his eyes glowed, Xu Zixiong suddenly stopped in mid air and flew back. Cross caught him with his hands and said "Aiyo! A new thing! Cool!" Long Chen shook his head and walked over saying "You have Barbarian blood?"
Xu Zixiong felt he was outmatched here and said honestly "Yes." Long Chen said "I won't fight you, but you can be my younger brother." before leaving, Xu Zixiong chased after him saying "Ah! Wait! Big brother I agree!" Cross chuckled and shook his head, before walking after them.
He saw the Old man who swept the floor and looked at him, suddenly his eyes started hurting and bleeding. The old man looked at him and raised an eyebrow. Cross closed his eyes in pain and the old man said "Hmm... Very interesting."
Cross walked over and sat down next to the old man as he said "What happened?" The old man replied "Some things cannot be copied. Or rather, you're not strong enough to copy them. You're very lucky actually." Cross asked "Lucky?" The old man replied "Had you not unified your entire being and evolved your body into the Void Dragon body, your eyes would have exploded." as he continued to sweep the floor.
Cross was speechless and couldn't help but say "Old man, aren't you a bit too mysterious? How do you know everything?" the old man smiled and said "You live long enough, you see a lot of things." Cross flared up "Oi! That's the same as not answering at all!" the old man chuckled and said "Try not to copy me for the time being. I won't help you again." as he tapped on Cross' eyes.
Cross felt a cooling sensation and opened his eyes again, thank god he can see! Cross said "Are you Jesus?" the old man choked and shook his head saying "Religion doesn't exist here." Cross chuckled and said "Anyway, see you later Mysterious Old man. One day I will copy your techniques and I'll rule the world!"
The old man shook his head and said "Don't try and be a comedian." Cross spat and said "You're no fun, gramps." before running off, the old man smiled slightly. It had been a long time since he laughed, it was nice.
Cross walked around, looking at everyone and shelving books like a madman. As far as he was concerned the Old man was the only one in this world that he couldn't take from. That damn old man was too mysterious.
Cross dived into the scripture pavilion and looked at everything, finding the things on beasts, but he didn't even need to touch the books anymore. His eyes recorded everything, they were like super eyes. He looked at all the books in the scripture pavilion and went to the others, soon enough he had seen and recorded all the books in the entire school, even the ones in the Dean's secret stash after he bribed Bai Zhantang with some wine to send him into his father's book room.
Cross looked at all the books in the room before running out in a flash, with a cheeky grin.
When he ran out, he was caught by Long Chen, who said he was going to the Luo Family. Cross said "Already?!" Long Chen smirked and said "You're coming with me." Cross said "I am?!" he was suddenly tackled by Luo Ning, who latched onto him like a koala and said "Big devil, please~"
Cross looked at Long Chen and said "Bastard! You pitted me!" Long Chen chuckled and Luo Ning looked at Cross with a big pout and puppy dog eyes. He looked away and said "Fine! Fine! But I want to see your library!" Luo Ning said "Just this? No problem!"
Cross grinned and Luo Ning smiled sweetly, still not letting go. Cross looked at her and said "Um, are you okay?" Luo Ning suddenly said "I'm not coming." Cross was confused and said "Eh?" Luo Bing appeared and said "She's staying here. I can fulfill her end of the deal."
Cross said "But you can't warm my bed can you?" Luo Bing blushed and Luo Ning said angrily "Big devil!" Cross chuckled and said "Alright fine, go say bye and then we'll leave right away." Luo Ning looked awkward and Cross said "What now?" Luo Ning got off Cross and backed away as she said "Luna, Jasmine, Feng Xue'er, Jie Yuan, Die Wu, Ying'er, and the kids, all went to the Samsara Region with Bai Shishi."
Cross exploded in rage and shouted "THEY WHAT?!" space distorted around him as his eyes glowed, Luo Ning said quickly "They told me to tell you, don't shoot the messenger, ah!" Cross grabbed her shoulders and said "Yuanyuan?! Where's Yuanyuan!" Luo Ning said "The Cranes." Cross was beyond angry and flew into the air, disappearing in a flash.
Long Chen shook his head and said "Everybody thinks the Samsara Region is a playground?" Luo Ning nibbled on her lips and said "Tell him I went there too." before running away to the Samsara Region. Long Chen shook his head again and left with Luo Bing to see the others.
Cross floated in the air over a canyon and whistled, a huge Crane appeared and said "Yes?" Cross smiled and said "You have my daughter?" The Crane turned into a middle aged man and smiled "I'm the little girl's father. Nice to meet you." Cross smiled and shook hands with the man as he said "Likewise. I hope she isn't disturbing you all."
The man laughed "Not at all! She's actually quite pleasant." his face got serious and he said "There's something you should know however." Cross frowned and walked with the man as he continued "Your daughter, her roots are very special. I can feel that you aided her in forming them, correct?" Cross nodded and the man added "I've never seen something like this before, but she has a natural affinity with our Crane clan. It's the first time in history that a human can actually cultivate Colorful Crane techniques!"
Cross was stunned and said "You have techniques?" The man nodded and said "Of course! Although we don't like killing and rarely do, there are certain situations where it's a must. Though usually, it's only suitable for our Race. I even asked my father and he said, he's never seen something like this before."
Cross said "So what do we do? I don't want to make you leave." The man shook his head and said "Nono, it's not that serious. Actually, it's a good thing! Your daughter is quite special, I actually was going to find you and ask if she could come more often..."
Cross said "You want to use my daughter?" The man smiled apologetically and said "That's what it sounds like unfortunately, but this is the feeling of the entire Crane Clan. Naturally, I will do everything in my power to keep her safe, but I wanted your permission to let her take the Ancestor's trial."
Cross said "She's only 4 years old..." The man said quickly "Actually, the Ancestor's trial is usually for newborns. Though if she passed there might be an issue..." Cross asked "What kind of issue?" The man said "She may have to stay for a long time and accept the inheritance of the Ancestor."
Cross said "She's still just a child..." the man was silent but hopeful, obviously this was very important to him. Cross said "Can I see her?" The man smiled and said "Of course." they went to an area and Yuanyuan saw Cross, she ran over happily shouting "Daddy!" Cross smiled and crouched down, hugging Yuanyuan and saying "How's my little angel?"
Yuanyuan said happily "Super! Big sister Crane is fun!" Cross held her and said "Does Yuanyuan want to stay with Big sister Crane?" Yuanyuan nodded happily, Cross added "Yuanyuan, Uncle Crane wants you to do a trial. If you don't want to do it, forget about it."
Yuanyuan said "Trial? Is it fun?" Cross replied "I don't know, but only Yuanyuan can go. Not even Daddy." Yuanyuan said "Yuanyuan goes alone?" Cross nodded, and Yuanyuan asked "Will I be strong like daddy?" Cross didn't know how to answer her question and looked at the man, who said quickly "The Ancestor was the Strongest beast in the 9 Heavens and 10 Hells."
Cross answered "Yuanyuan will be strong." Yuanyuan waved her fist and said "Yaya! I want to be strong like daddy!" Cross felt like his heart was breaking as he said "You might not see daddy for a long time..." Yuanyuan went silent before asking softly "Is daddy going to abandon Yuanyuan?"
Cross jumped and said "Nonono! Are you kidding? Yuanyuan is Daddy's most important treasure!" he kissed her cheeks and smiled. Yuanyuan smiled and said "Then Yuanyuan will see daddy later~!" Cross almost cried and squeezed out a smile as he said "Then Yuanyuan will have to stay with Uncle Crane and Big Sister Crane."
Yuanyuan smiled and Cross put her down, Yuanyuan ran off to play with the little girl again and Cross left with the man. Cross got back to the Academy and said seriously "I'm trusting you with my daughter. I really hope nothing happens to her. Sorry for being rude but if she's hurt, I don't care how auspicious you are. I will kill you."
The man smiled and rubbed his nose as he said "If I couldn't protect her, would I even risk it?" Cross condensed a black token and said "If there's an issue, crush this and I'll come as fast as I can." the man took the token and smiled. Cross nodded and said "Thank you." The man smiled and said "It's really my pleasure. I won't let her be bullied."
Cross nodded and left, the man also returned to the Crane place.
Cross showed up next to Long Chen with a sad face, Long Chen didn't say anything and they boarded a ship, leaving the school with Qin Feng, Bai Xiaole, Xu Zixiong, and Luo Bing, shooting off into the sky towards the Luo Clan residence.
