When the demoness heard this, she pounced over coquettishly. "Aiyo, little brother, you're so direct. I like it so much."
The longer she lived, the more scheming she became. The so-called lightness of the body was all a disguise. She seemed to be cooperating, but there was killing intent hidden in her eyes.
When she was less than half a meter away from Zhou Xuan, the aura on her body suddenly changed, and killing intent appeared.
She quickly stretched out her right hand. Her nails, which were long and as sharp as swords, pointed at Zhou Xuan's chest.
Zhou Xuan's cultivation base was only at the Silver Three-Star level, which was only one star away from the demoness in front of him.
However, he did not panic at all when facing the demoness. There was a Demon Suppression Stone at the door. If he was no match for her, he only needed to quickly retreat out of the door. The demoness would not be able to leave at all.
He would not risk his life so easily.
He immediately activated his Astral Soul, and a weed appeared behind him, emitting a green light.
Then, he condensed the power of his Astral Soul into his fist and raised his hand to punch out. His punch was filled with wind and was powerful.
This was the Demon Ox Boxing Style that he had obtained yesterday!
With a bang, the human and demon's attacks collided, causing a tremor.
Due to the difference in cultivation realm and the fact that he had just obtained the fist technique yesterday, Zhou Xuan was forced to retreat outside the door. However, he had also successfully touched the green-clothed woman once.
The next moment, the voice of the Unscientific Sign-In System sounded in his ear.
"Ding… Target discovered. Do you want to sign in?"
How could he hesitate? He immediately said in his heart, "Sign in."
"Ding… Signed in successfully. Obtained Nine Leaf Sword Grass. Assimilating with the Nine Leaf Sword Grass will allow your astral soul to evolve."
The Nine-leaf Sword Grass had nine leaves, and its leaves were like sharp swords. It was a legendary ominous item that could cut through the sun, moon, and stars, as well as cut through time and space.
Zhou Xuan did not expect to obtain the legendary Nine Leaf Sword Grass by signing in on a weed. He was so excited that he trembled.
It was indeed unscientific!
"Little brother, I haven't even opened my mouth yet. Why are you trembling?" The green-robed demoness waved at Zhou Xuan. "Come in and let me dote on you."
Since she could not get out, she could only tempt Zhou Xuan to go in.
Upon closer inspection, her slender fingers disappeared and were replaced by blades of extremely sharp leaves.
Such a sharp leaf could easily penetrate the body of a Silver Three-Star Demon Hunter like Zhou Xuan.
When the green-robed demoness saw that Zhou Xuan was unmoved, she could not help but laugh. "Little brother, what are you afraid of? I won't bite you."
Zhou Xuan was in pain from the attack just now, but he didn't hold a grudge.
He would take revenge on the spot.
He chanted in his heart, "Fuse the Nine Leaf Sword Grass and evolve my Astral Soul."
Humans and demons were opposing each other, and humans only had the ability to hunt demon beasts after awakening their astral souls.
Human cultivation was actually a process of continuously strengthening their astral souls. Therefore, one's Astral Soul was extremely important.
Zhou Xuan's Astral Soul was originally just a weed. It was extremely ordinary and had very little future. However, as the Nine Leaf Sword Grass entered his body, his Astral Soul was directly replaced by the Nine Leaf Sword Grass.
This meant that his Astral Soul had evolved from a weed to a Nine Leaf Sword Grass. That was a qualitative leap.
At that moment, he trembled again.
It was excitement.
As his Astral Soul evolved into the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, an unprecedented power erupted from his body.
It was the energy of a star soul, and it was sharp like sword qi and filled with lethality.
His realm also began to increase, from Silver Three-Star to Four-Star then to Five-Star…
The Nine Leaf Sword Grass glowed and released a powerful force that swept out in all directions, forcing the female demoness who had cultivated for a hundred years inside to retreat repeatedly.
She felt the shocking change in Zhou Xuan's body. Her small mouth opened, and she was already frightened till her face resembled an emoji.
She had a Silver Four-Star cultivation base, but now, she could not even withstand a single move from Zhou Xuan.
In the end, she was forced into a corner by a powerful force.
Dressed in rags, she wrapped her arms around herself and shivered. "No, don't."
"Cuckolds are the most ugly." Zhou Xuan snorted coldly and took the initiative to move forward. He raised his hand and launched a fierce attack.
A casual blow shattered the green hat on the demoness's head. Not only that, but the powerful power of the Star Soul exploded, knocking her back to her original form.
Her true form was a stalk of foxtail grass. Originally, she was lush and green. But now, she had withered, leaving not a single leaf behind.
Zhou Xuan had obtained great strength from the transformation of his Astral Soul. His cultivation level had soared all the way, and he had broken through several small ranks, reaching the Silver Nine-Star realm.
He forcefully suppressed the urge to continue breaking through and began to consolidate his realm.
He spent some time consolidating his realm and could finally control the new power in his body.
Then, he activated the Turtle Breathing Technique and disguised his realm as a Silver Four-Star.
Even if it was doing odd jobs, there would still be an assessment. There would be an assessment once a month, and tomorrow was the day of the assessment.
If he did not improve, he would be fired.
On the other hand, he had disguised his cultivation level as a Silver Four-Star. Compared to a month ago, with the increase of one star, he could completely pass the assessment and continue to stay here to do odd jobs.
At the same time, it would not attract too much attention if he only increased it by one star.
He had to sign in silently and cultivate in peace until he was invincible.
Zhou Xuan completed his disguise and walked out.
When he went out, his footsteps were still a little light.
Sure enough, this was the price of being too fast.
It seemed that he still needed to spend more time consolidating his realm and familiarizing himself with the new power.
Zhou Xuan turned around and went to room 5 next door, where a Lightning Mink was imprisoned.
It was only a foot long. Its entire body was snow-white and furry. Its eyes were large and bright, like a meatball.
It looked cute and adorable, but it was poisonous and extremely dangerous.
Moreover, its sensitivity was maxed out, and its movement speed was unimaginably fast. If one became its target, they would not even know how they died many times.
The Lightning Mink's poison was its value. Every once in a while, someone would come to collect its poison.
Zhou Xuan now had a cultivation base of Silver Nine-Stars, and the Lightning Mink was also Silver Nine-Stars. However, he did not dare to enter rashly.
Because he knew that the Lightning Mink's speed was too fast, and it was impossible to guard against.
If one was bitten, they would be poisoned. It was not worth it.
He opened the door and stood there, watching.
The Lightning Mink inside could not come out either because there was a Demon Suppression Stone suppressing it at the door.
The foot-long Lightning Mink's large eyes flickered as it looked at Zhou Xuan. It revealed an expression that it would rather die than submit and said in a childish voice, "I, the Lightning Mink, will never be a slave!"
Zhou Xuan did not say anything. He just casually threw out a "Big Chili Strip". It was a two-meter-long poisonous snake and was the Lightning Mink's favorite delicacy!
"Unless there's a Spicy Strip!" The Lightning Mink's eyes lit up when it saw the poisonous snake, and its expression instantly changed.
It had been starving for a few days, and now there was nothing happier than seeing delicious food.
It maxed out its agility and turned into a white shadow that pounced at the two-meter-long "Big Chili Strip".
The Lightning Mink's movement speed was so fast that Zhou Xuan was even a little dazzled. Such a movement technique made him very envious.
In just two seconds, the foot-long Lightning Mink killed the two-meter-long "Big Spicy Strip" and ate it happily.
It was fine to sell its body for a "Big Spicy Strip"!
Two months ago, it was kidnapped using a "Big Spicy Strip".
Later, when it was locked up, it realized that it had been tricked.
What people needed was its venom!
"You keep saying that you love me, but you're thinking about my saliva. Hmph," it muttered softly as it ate.
