Chapter 684: The Xuan Family’s Guest Secretary

Chapter 679 – The Xuan Clan’s Guest Secretary

“It’s just trickery. Brother Shuo, your Foundation Establishment Wonder [Sword] is not good at attacking first, but defense and counterattack is a masterpiece. However, this [Drawing] technique, which mimics birth, old age, sickness, death, and changes in people, is more like inflicting a state than attacking. That’s why this didn’t trigger the [Sword]’s counterattack.” Having won the competition, Li Fan did not have a proud look on his face, but took the initiative to explain for Shuo Feng.

When he was in the Root of Heaven and Earth that birthed the Five Elements Cave, Li Fan had had the experience of his own body, which was like a fine thread woven together, being constantly extracted.

At that time, there was a hidden realization.

However, it was still quite a bit short of the level of directly exerting divine abilities in the real world. Until this time, after taking charge of the Heavenly Fortune of the Beast Species Realm, and in the process of breaking through to the middle stage of YuanYing, Li Fan had almost become an existence like the Heavenly Dao of the Small World.

Everything in the world lived and died in a single thought.

Li Fan had a new and unique understanding of the composition and collapse of things.

Thus there was such a style of [Extraction] divine ability.

Just as he had said to Shuo Feng, strictly speaking, [Drawing Silk] was not considered an attacking divine ability. Rather, it was a tendency to attach an accelerated disintegration to the target. This belonged to the target’s own changes.

Just as mortals would grow old and die, everything in this world would eventually come to an end and dissipate between heaven and earth. The [Extraction] is what accelerates this process.

In the battle with Shuo Feng, the performance of [Drawing Silk] was the effect of Li Fan’s full strength. The power was certainly horrifying, but in reality, there was an Achilles’ heel. That was that the process of casting [Drawing Silk] required continuous spell casting. Once it was disturbed or interrupted by the outside world, the effect would be greatly reduced.

The only way to deal with this kind of Shuo Feng, the main defense counterattack of the odd man out, only have a strange effect.

Therefore, the best way to use [Drawing Silk] was not to use it as swiftly and explosively as when fighting against Shuo Feng. Rather, it was to slowly draw out the “lines” of the target in the dark, silently, without the target realizing it.

By lengthening the time scale, the target would not have visible wounds on his body like Shuo Feng.

Instead, they would feel inexplicably weakened and unwell. However, they were unable to find the cause, and in the end, they could only watch as their essence continued to decay, and eventually died in agony.

The so-called “life goes like silk”, is so.

It is really a wonderful method to hurt people in the dark, even compared to the non-phase killing machine, it is still a few points better. Li Fan had always had the habit of keeping his hand, so this time, in the fight with Shuo Feng, he had also hidden the real form of killing of [Drawing Silk].

“Brother Li originally praised me for being a heavenly talent, but I see that your understanding is a few points better than mine. This move [Drawing Silk], it’s marvelous!” Being defeated by Li Fan, Shuo Feng not only did not get annoyed, instead, his attitude vaguely became more enthusiastic.

The previous flash of icy killing intent also seemed as if it had never appeared.

“Brother Shuo praised me too much, but traveling in the four directions, I just got it by chance.” Li Fan said with a faint smile.

“Brother Li doesn’t need to humble himself! Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, there are countless people who claim to be heavenly prides, but there are very few who can be like you and comprehend this divine ability on their own!” Shuo Feng slapped his body, and all of a sudden a white light flashed, changing his clothes.

Leading the way in front, leading Li Fan to a small building at the top of the mountain, Shuo Feng greeted and took a seat.

The yellow-skirted female cultivator left for a while, and then steeped a bowl of spirit tea for each of the two.

The aroma of the tea overflowed, invigorating the spirit.

Shuo Feng said, “Brother Li this style of divine ability, I have not thought of a way to crack it for the time being. When I have inspiration in the future, I will definitely ask you for advice again!”

Li Fan nodded slightly, “Then I can wait.”

Shuo Feng laughed out loud, “Refreshing! Brother Li’s temperament is really to my liking! It’s much better than those guys who are wishy-washy, have little ability and want to follow the trend!”

Li Fan did not answer, but changed the topic, “Speaking of tendency, in fact, I really have another thing to bother Brother Shuo.”

“Oh? What is it? But there is no harm in saying.”

Li Fan then expressed his desire to raise his merit rank.

“Not having enough permission levels is really annoying. It’s so uncomfortable to be restricted everywhere!” Li Fan exclaimed. After hearing this, Shuo Feng was unimpressed and said, “Hmph, it’s just a threshold that the Immortal Alliance purposely set in order to consolidate their rule. As far as those who are truly in power are concerned, where is the need to climb up the ladder and raise the level of authority step by step ……”

“But since brother Li has this need, it’s fine. Zhi Jin ……”

The yellow-skirted female cultivator immediately responded.

“Are there any Guest Secretary slots vacant under recently?” Shuo Feng asked.

“There are still three vacancies this year. But ……,” Zhi Jin looked at Li Fan, wanting to speak.

“Cultivation is not up to the requirements is it.” Shuo Feng kindly smiled, “That’s okay. It’s a special case, just say that it’s designated by me. Just go and say hello.”

Zhi Jin nodded slightly, his body blurred and instantly disappeared into the field.

It was then that Shuo Feng explained, “Serving as my family’s guest secretary will give you a base authority of Derivative Thirty. There will also be a fixed amount of merits handed out every year.”

Li Fan heard this, but did not show any joy. Instead, he frowned and said, “Thank you, Brother Shuo. But I’m used to being idle, so if ……”

Shuo Feng waved his hand, “It’s fine. There is no need for you to do anything, just hang on to an imaginary position. You and I are like-minded, and are we not the kind of characters who are willing to be bound?”

“But well ……”

Shuo Feng looked at Li Fan, a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes, “If one day your hand gets itchy and you want to find someone to spar with, you can’t deliberately excuse yourself!”

Li Fan was relieved and immediately arched his hand, “Then I’ll thank Brother Shuo first!”

Shuo Feng was worthy of being the Immortal Alliance’s top Immortal II. He was extremely efficient.

Before the spirit tea on the table was finished, Zhi Jin had already returned.

When a snowflake ice crystal shaped jade talisman was handed over to Li Fan, it indicated that Li Fan’s tenure as a guest secretary had already been logged in.

“Brother Li can take a look at the effect.” Shuo Feng tapped his index finger on the desktop and a small Tian Xuan mirror appeared in front of Li Fan.

When Li Fan checked his information in the Tian Xuan mirror, he really found that he had added the title of “Guest Secretary of the Xuan Family”.

The level of authority had indeed been raised directly to level 30, just as Shuo Feng had said.

However, it was also stated that this level of authority was tied to the position of “Guest Secretary”. Once you lose the title of “Guest Secretary”, your permission level will also disappear.

However, the merits earned by the individual will be added up from the beginning of the Diffusion.

The two do not affect each other.

This was expected by Li Fan, but he was more concerned about the words “Xuan Family’s Guest Secretary”.

“Xuan Family?” Li Fan looked at Shuo Feng with some doubt.

Shuo Feng didn’t shy away from it and said with a big smile, “My mother’s name is Xuan. As for this name of mine, well ……”

He shrugged his shoulders with a look of “I’m not too sure”.

Li Fan nodded and did not pursue the question.

Just one chapter today.
