755: Chapter 168: Scattered Gifts (Part 2) 755: Chapter 168: Scattered Gifts (Part 2) Su Zijun did not immediately leave this mountain forest—she certainly would not care about the destruction of this place.

She stayed here for two reasons.

First, she was searching for traces of Rob.

Although the Drought Demon’s Fire she spat was powerful, given Rob’s body strength, and those peculiar bone armors, even if he were burned to death, there should be some traces left at least.

Yet she did not find any.

However, Rob’s aura had indeed disappeared—at least, vanished from around here.

Secondly, there was this gift that was directly delivered to her hand.

Looking at the gift in her hand, Su Zijun fell into deep thought…

Perhaps she should open it and see what medicine the boss was selling in his gourd.

But when Su Zijun tried to open this box, her vision suddenly blurred, and she even felt like she might not be able to stand steadily. “What’s going on…”

Su Zijun fell to her knees on the ground, vomiting a mouthful of black blood! “It’s poison…”

The eerie blue short blade was coated with potent poison!

At this moment, Su Zijun felt a terrifying poison rampaging within her, wreaking havoc on her body!

The Hanba body, immensely powerful, immune to all poisons, repelling all evil, she could hardly imagine what kind of poison could injure her body to this extent in an instant. “Damn, I thought it was just someone obsessed with strong power, never expected they would use poison…” Su Zijun gritted her teeth, her bloodstream power swelling, suppressing the wildly raging poison.

She felt she could completely expel this poison, but it clearly would take some time.

And she must not be disturbed!

Not bothering to open the gift box in her hand, Su Zijun quickly left the mountain forest.

Though she had been caught off guard before, it was unpleasant to be subdued by someone less powerful than her using poison this time.

But at the same time, it signaled her that in this world, there existed poison capable of harming the Hanba body, and it came from outside China!

Before long, Su Zijun had already left the mountain forest.

Yet, she felt uneasy, this feeling of fleeing reminded her of the last time she got injured and had to book it back to Long Xiruo’s hospital in embarrassment.

Even though her days changed somewhat after meeting the little butterfly monster in the hospital, she couldn’t forget the humiliation of being injured.

Recalling the incident six months ago, Su Zijun’s gaze emitted a tangible killing intent.

Two people who called themselves Transcendents appeared inexplicably, saying she was qualified to join them but needed to pass a test, exuding arrogance from the start.

From childhood, the only one who could make her swallow her anger was the Godly Land true dragon Long Xiruo.

At the time, Su Zijun was in a bad mood while wandering, so she took on these Transcendents.

To her surprise, these self-proclaimed Transcendents were astonishingly powerful, leaving Su Zijun no choice but to risk everything, unlocking the third seal in her body to injure the two and escape.

Su Zijun was extremely proud, and after taking a hit from these self-proclaimed Transcendents, she had to avenge herself.

Otherwise, if that old hag Long Xiruo found out, she’d be laughed at for hundreds of years!

But regarding the Transcendents, Su Zijun didn’t find any further information, only knowing one of the names of the two who invited her.

A flamboyant woman named Li Kexite…

Su Zijun hurried on, not caring which direction she went—she didn’t look at maps, but after destroying the base of the Maple Club in the Xianzong Forest, she found information about another base.

This time, she intended to find a safe place to expel the poison while heading towards that other base.

Yet she didn’t know that the direction she headed was a land woven with war and chaos.

The Middle East. …

Wolf King Rob only felt his body fall apart, then casually tossed to the ground.

The royal princess of Xuanyuan’s final burst of flame still had Rob terrified, wondering if he could resist it if faced directly.

But more than that assumption, Rob was concerned about his current environment—it was clear someone had saved him.

That twisted vortex.

Rob climbed up from the ground, and the surrounding area was not a forest; instead, it was a luxurious, modern apartment—a space had been torn open in an instant, transporting him from the Xianzong Forest to this place!

Appearing before Rob was a man who seemed ordinary and old, with disheveled hair, looking at least over eighty!

Rob couldn’t even sense a trace of a strong aura from this elder… but it was obviously this elder who rescued him from the fire of the Xuanyuan royal princess. “Who are you?

Why did you save me?” Rob frowned while checking his body condition.

At this time, the elderly man with silver hair approached Rob with a smile, putting on a monocle, scrutinizing Rob’s body—his gaze was like appraising a gem.

This made Rob extremely uncomfortable, wanting to retreat, only to suddenly realize that his body was completely immobilized—his body was utterly bound by some invisible force. “Young man, don’t be afraid, I’m just curious to see your body.

Hmm…” The old man nodded repeatedly as he observed, “Young man, you truly astonish me.

Your body has undergone at least seventy major transformations, and more than fifty minor ones…

It’s hard to imagine the strength of will needed to endure such inhuman torment…”

Luo Bo’s gaze froze momentarily before he was seized by shock!

He had no idea who this elder was, but if he could discern the secrets of his body simply by looking, it was indeed terrifying… “Who… who are you exactly?”

After the elder finished his inspection, he waved his hand, and Luo Bo immediately felt his body relax, regaining his freedom.

Only then did the elder slowly speak, “I am known as Einstein, a Transcendent.”

Einstein?

Luo Bo furrowed his brow, feeling the name was familiar, but couldn’t recall from where, “Transcendent?” “Yes, Transcendent.” The elder named Einstein chuckled, “In my view, Transcendents are those who exist in the crevice between the rules of the Science Side and the Supernatural Side, unbound by any constraints.

I saved you not for any other reason, but because you’ve been chosen to become one of us…

So, Wolf King Luo Bo, are you interested in joining us?” “Join you?” Luo Bo squinted.

He wasn’t concerned about joining any faction, as long as it granted him immense power—he became one of Michael Club’s Twelve Divine Generals for this very reason—as long as they offered something that truly tempted him! “Indeed, join us,” Einstein nodded, “According to our principles, we need companions with vast potential.

As to why you were chosen, I’m not sure myself.

I was just assigned as your examiner.

Once you complete the assessment, I’ll be your guide.” “What benefits do I gain from joining you?” Luo Bo asked directly. “Many benefits.” Einstein pondered for a while before saying, “For instance, we can grant you the power to overthrow the Shenzhou Greedy Wolf Clan.” “You…” “No need to be so startled,” Einstein said calmly, “Since you’ve been chosen, we naturally understand everything about you.

We exist in the crevice between the Science Side and the Supernatural Side, even the world’s will struggles to monitor us, so acquiring intelligence is naturally not difficult.”

Luo Bo furrowed his brow before suddenly asking, “How many Transcendents are there?” “You’ll only know once you’ve completed the assessment and formally joined us.”

Luo Bo stared intently at the elder.

Despite his seemingly ordinary appearance, the old man could render him completely powerless with a mere wave, possessing a mysterious power even more daunting than the Royal Princess of the Xuanyuan family. “I belong to the Michael Club,” Luo Bo stated abruptly.

He mentioned Michael Club deliberately to gauge the elder’s reaction—after all, compared to the unknown Transcendent organization, he was at least familiar with Michael Club; it was difficult to find any organization outside of China comparable to this colossal institution. “We are aware that you are from the Club, and one of the Twelve Divine Generals,” Einstein chuckled, “But that poses no obstacle for us.

Joining us doesn’t mean leaving the Club…

Though their ideologies conflict with ours slightly, our general aim is similar.

So, what have you decided?”

Luo Bo sneered, “You want me to join you without showing me any benefits, just simple words…

Isn’t this too easy?”

Einstein chuckled, “The fact that we rescued you from that situation, unnoticed by anyone, isn’t that proof enough?”

Luo Bo remained silent but watched Einstein and suddenly said, “I want to have power like yours, is that possible?”

Einstein didn’t refuse; instead, he smiled warmly, “My abilities originate from science, reaching the stage of the First Principle.

You want to learn?

It’s possible, but you must start from the basics.

Among the Transcendents, there are few like me, but I’d be delighted to see another companion capable of discussing principles with me in the future.” “I can blend demonic power with human strength; there’s nothing in this world I can’t learn!” Luo Bo sneered.

Einstein waved his hand, and a small crack appeared above Luo Bo’s head—from the crack, a plethora of thick books resembling bricks fell, forming a small hill in an instant.

Luo Bo furrowed his brow, suspecting these were some kind of secret manuals, and picked one up.

But as he read, he frowned repeatedly.

He looked at the book’s title, it read “Euclidean Geometry”…

Ultimately, Luo Bo closed the book, deciding to find time to study these works, and even if he didn’t understand them, he’d memorize them first. “Fine, I’ll agree to join you…

But you must not restrict my freedom!” “There are no free benefits, and responsibilities won’t go unrewarded.” Einstein chuckled warmly, “Young man, be prudent.

Besides, you must pass the assessment before you join.” “What is the assessment?”

Einstein looked at Luo Bo, smiling joyfully, “I’ve thought about your assessment…

Would you like to be my experiment subject?

I’m currently researching quantum topics and need a physical tester…”

Experiment subject?

Research?

Luo Bo furrowed his brow, contemplating.

He gained his current strength due to the Club’s massive investment and terrifying transformations—he knew those pains more harrowing than the deepest layers of hell, and wondered what kind of experiment could ever faze him. “Alright!

I agree!”

Einstein clapped his hands in excitement, “That’s splendid!

Mr.

Luo Bo, I’ve told the servant girl to prepare dinner, how about turkey tonight?

Oh…

I forgot you are injured, you should eat something mild.

Hmm…

Alright, I’ll leave for a moment and find a friend who has plenty of medicines for healing injuries…”

Only to see the old man acting strangely, he casually waved his hand, tearing open a rift, and entered that pitch-black place that made Luo Bo tremble with fear.

Luo Bo began to look around this apartment.

This apartment was at least over thirty floors high, and Luo Bo didn’t know how many families lived upstairs.

He pulled open the curtains and gazed at the city before him, discovering that it was already covered by Snow White.

But he saw where the sun was.

So he also gazed towards the east, lightly saying, “Zhen Long…” … …

In a certain place in Russia, this area is rich in coal mines.

The miners living here have had better living conditions recently because the owner behind this place had died for unknown reasons, and naturally, the group centered around this owner also collapsed, reducing exploitation by quite a bit.

Although under the influence of capital, the status of being exploited remained unchanged, it was still better if life could improve a little… then just a little improvement would be good.

Oleg took his son Antonio back to the place where he was born and raised, but he didn’t tell those who knew him before.

The father and son built a wooden house in the mountains away from the village and city.

Oleg hunted in the mountains daily, while Antonio followed his father, learning the skills of hunting.

This child said he wanted to train his body to be strong so that he could become a strong man, surpassing his father in the future.

But Antonio had another wish he had never spoken out loud—that is, he hoped that when he truly grew up, he could become a great boxer.

Today’s harvest was good.

Oleg carried a wild boar he had hunted, processing it happily.

Meanwhile, Antonio was preparing other ingredients inside the house.

Even though this family lost its female master early on, the bond between the father and son grew stronger.

Antonio suddenly heard some strange sounds from upstairs.

Curiously, he ran up the stairs —to his room.

When he opened the door, Antonio found a gift he hadn’t noticed before, lying there on the bed.

Blinking with excitement, he couldn’t wait to unwrap it.

Oh my!

Inside, there was a pair of brand-new boxing gloves!

Could it be his father who gave them to him?

Excitedly, Antonio put on the gloves.

They were large, not fitting his hands right now, but he couldn’t hide his excitement.

He opened the window and shouted to his father, who was dealing with the wild boar outside, “Dad!

I love you!

Thank you for the gift!”

Oleg, startled and not catching what his son said clearly, turned around in confusion only to see Antonio’s head retreating back into the room and the window closing. “This kid, so mysterious…” chuckled Oleg.

He looked up at the sky…

Maybe his wife in heaven could see this too? … …

Long Xiruo quietly left the hospital and came to the cinema mentioned by Zi Xing, conducting an undercover investigation.

For this, she didn’t hesitate to use the power of a bead, temporarily restoring some of her true dragon’s strength.

But as the effect wore off, she still found nothing.

She left, a little discouraged.

But at that moment, a gift box floated down before Long Xiruo.

The little true dragon of China frowned, hesitating before finally opening the gift box.

No one told her who sent it, but her intuition told her who it was from.

However, as she looked at the contents inside the box, the true dragon of China suddenly became furious, throwing it to the ground and leaving in a huff, “Who would eat such a thing!!”

After the true dragon of China left, a small bag of simple red date and walnut snacks remained on the spot.

It had obviously been stomped on several times, so even if someone saw it, they probably wouldn’t want to take it. …

In an underground cave beneath a riverbed, a gift box also gradually descended.

The descending gift box opened automatically, containing a small bottle of osmanthus honey.

Meanwhile, strange sounds suddenly echoed in the silent cave.

Something seemed to be surging out from the earth.

Finally, it began to surge out, revealing a large white cocoon.

But in an instant, the cocoon broke open, and a naked body struggled out, stretching with a long yawn. “So comfortable!”

She exclaimed pleasantly, then sniffed the sweet scent with her nose, looking in the direction of the scent. “Oh!

Honey!”

She picked up the osmanthus honey from the box, blinking, “Is it left for me by Sister Zijun?”

But she didn’t think much further because she was… hungry now. …

Qianxiu and Qian Yu Xian Rou were teaming up to complete a super difficult task.

Finally, after overcoming all difficulties and conquering this dungeon task, they entered a room and saw a sage-like old man. “I am Lord Tai Yin.

Congratulations on successfully coming to my secret treasure.

This is your sole reward for this special Christmas event dungeon.”

The old man with a sage-like demeanor slowly blew a breath, and a gift box was sent into Qianxiu’s hands.

Just as the gift was delivered, the figure known as Lord Tai Yin disappeared, and the surroundings reverted back to their original state—the boss’s corpse was still lying on the ground. “What’s this?” Qian Yu Xian Rou asked curiously.

After opening the box and checking, Qianxiu’s expression became peculiar, “It’s a blueprint for synthesis…” “A weapon?

That’s not very useful, is it?” Qian Yu Xian Rou didn’t care much. “No…” Qianxiu looked at Qian Yu Xian Rou, took a deep breath, and said, “It can synthesize a growth-type humanoid pet… using my and your data for the configuration.” “Wow!!” Qian Yu Xian Rou leaped up with joy.

She looked at the blueprint’s introduction, from infancy to childhood, growing all the way…

This could be hers and Qianxiu’s child here. … …

Gift after gift scattered.

Luo Qiu stood up at this moment, walking towards the crowd, searching for You Ye and Ren Ziling’s presence.

He didn’t intentionally use his power to search, just relying on some intangible feeling, he eventually found their traces near a snack stall.

Ren Ziling and Lizi were fighting over freshly bought cotton candy, while the maid had noticed her master and smiled at him.

Suddenly, Lizi furrowed her brow, then surprisingly looked up to the sky, murmuring, “It shouldn’t be…” “What shouldn’t be?” Ren Ziling, seeing Luo Qiu but pretending not to, as a way to express her annoyance at their earlier separation, looked at Lizi instead.

Lizi at this point stretched out her hand, and a small bit of snow-white gently landed in her palm, then melted into a faint trace of water, “It shouldn’t… be snowing.” “Snow?” Ren Ziling looked up at the night sky in surprise.

Under the lights of the square, tiny, immaculate white dots started to drift down from above, “It’s really snowing…

Is the plaza going all out tonight?

Even creating artificial snow?”

The people in the square began to marvel at this moment of whiteness.

They also assumed this was a surprise orchestrated by the plaza event organizers… but regardless, it was incredibly beautiful.

Because it was snow from the south.

What they didn’t know was, this city was truly experiencing a light snow…

The snowfall was a gift from the boss to the spirit vein’s will, who was willing to protect this city.

Snow is rare in the south.

It, naturally, had never seen such a scene before.

Watching Ren Ziling and the others appreciating the falling snow, Luo Qiu chuckled softly and walked towards them.
