So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 87

No wonder his waist hurt for a long time. It was not that his powers didn’t work. It was because Great-Grandma was extracting essence from him even from afar. Even if I was thousands of miles away, Great-Grandma was easily able to extract my essence. Is the WiFi radius so potent as well?

Killing people in the temple, while extracting essence thousands of miles away. Great-Grandma was still Great-Grandma.

Li Xianyu covered his face in silence.

He sat on the bed as he practiced qi. The central air conditioner on the left side of the wall delivered cold air to him. The air conditioner had a built-in air purifier to filter out the toxic haze in the atmosphere, allowing the demon descendants to practice their qi at ease.

A moment later, an electric arc flashed across his body, while more arcs followed thereafter, snapping and disappearing. After several minutes, the arcs no longer sparked.

This was the Lightning skill taught by Lightning King. It was another version of the orthodox Five Lightnings Skill, and it was one of the Five Sacred Lightnings. The five lightning originated from the five organs. The energy was produced by the mixing of yin and yang, as well as the qi from the organs.

It was said that people who had mastered this skill could connect with their natural senses, and attract lightning and thunder.

For ordinary people, they had to first sharpen the five internal organs, and discharge electricity with their bodies. They would then be able to connect with their natural senses and attract thunder and lightning. Electrical awakeners such as Lightning King could skip this stage, and go to the stage where they could discharge electricity. With a few years’ cultivation, they could control thunder and lightning.

For novices like Li Xianyu, his electric power was probably the same as the electric spark on a lighter.

Li Xianyu had learned a lot today. In addition to Lightning King’s skills, there were Kato Eagle’s finger techniques, Fire Child’s fire-controlling skills, Thunderbolt Battle Lady’s Thunder Combat Skill, Lady Killer’s charming skills, Long Aotian’s illusion-breaking skill, the spiritual training posture of Meng Yan, the melee combat of King Kong and so on.

Almost every colleague trapped in the virtual world of Long Aotian expressed their gratitude towards him. Some taught him their ultimate skills, while others gave him points. Being afraid that Li Xianyu would forget their teachings, they thoughtfully inserted the training methods and drawings into an online drive and shared them with Li Xianyu, so that he could learn on the go.

However, the ultimate skills were too specialized. Taking the thunder skill for example, Li Xianyu was not an electrical awakener, and so his progress would be very slow. The same was true for the other ultimate skills. The most outrageous gesture was to teach Li Xianyu the absolute knowledge of “detecting a beauty based on her fragrance.”

That fellow’s powers were similar to those of Ryder from the Association of Superpowered Beings. His style of power was similar to that of a detective. He had a very developed sense of smell, more sensitive than a dog’s nose. He took Li Xianyu to the corner, pointed to the beautiful girl at the front desk, and said, “What do you smell on her?”

Li Xianyu replied, “Perfume.”

The fellow shook his head. “No, I smell sugar.”

“What kind of sugar?”

“You don’t need to know.”

He didn’t say it, but Li Xianyu understood. No wonder this fellow was in the law enforcement department. His sense of smell was better than radar on the battlefield..

Subsequently, Li Xianyu acquired a skill to improve the quality of his nasal passages. Once he had practiced qi to a high level, his six senses would become very sharp. One of them was his sense of smell. That guy gave Li Xianyu a shortcut to master this skill. He had developed it by himself. He could master this skill without having a high level of qi command.

For beginners, it was a very practical skill.

Li Xianyu practiced the lightning skill once, causing his muscles to become numb. However, the strength of his muscles and bones were growing. The lightning skill was able to train up his cells and achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

“After awakening, my physical strength and powers have been increasing. However, I’m a little bit less gifted in practicing qi. Instead of wasting time meditating, I’d rather go to the gym to workout and improve my qi skills laterally.

Li Xianyu’s prowess was far from good currently. but he was a “casher”. He had three special weapons and a self-healing ability. He had surpassed the average junior staff, while being able to hold his own for a while against intermediate level employees.

It was too early to eat in the evening, but Li Xianyu had already eaten a big meal. It was a bit lonely eating alone. If only Great-Grandma was here. Although it was not meal time, but if there was good stuff to eat, she would gladly accompany him till the end of time.

After dinner, Li Xianyu was about to pay a visit to Thunderbolt Battle Lady, when he received a message from his roommate Huang Yicong.

“Where did you die to, Li Xianyu? You haven’t come to school for half a month. I didn’t hear that you were expelled either.”

Li Xianyu replied, “You can take it that I’ve quit school. I’m on my way to accomplish big things.”

Huang Yicong replied, “Fuck your great-grandmother. What big things can you achieve?”

Do you fucking believe it or not, I would ask Great-Grandma to kill you right on the spot.

Li Xianyu replied, “The rut is lost, and evening is withered. If a man has no will, he is no different from death.”

Huang Yicong: “Speak human language, please.”

Li Xianyu did not reply to his message and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Huang Yicong: “Let’s have dinner in the dormitory in the evening and play games afterwards. We haven’t played together for a long time.”

Li Xianyu felt that this was an opportune time to take a break amidst the tough training. He replied, “OK, let’s meet at the school gate?”

1850 hours: Code words are too tiring, let’s play a few games to relax…

2030 hours: Fuck, we must win a game…

2240 hours: Fuck, it’s so late already. Let’s not update anymore. Let’s play more games instead…

Suddenly, Li Xianyu remembered that he had seen a certain writer’s Weibo dynamics. He covered his face in silence, and had a bad feeling that the car would still fall into the pit after learning from the past.

He was only at the beginning of this month. He decided secretly in his heart, I will try my best to practice this month. I will rest for two days at most. If you want to find me to play games, I won’t.

As he left the company, he was caught in the rush hour. The traffic was dense, as men carried shoulder bags, women carried their handbags. Many people stood by the traffic junction. At this hour, taking the subway was the most torturous. One needed to be the most agile and fit, else there would be no seats for one on the subway.

If one did not manage to get a seat, it was okay as well. One would not shit in his pants as others would squeeze it in for him.

Li Xianyu had his foster father to pick him up to and from school before college. After college, because he lived close to the school, he did not experience the feeling of seeing a beautiful curvy girl nearing you after an hour’s ride on the train. One would have goosebumps as one felt refreshed.

At this point, it was obviously more efficient to take the subway than a taxi or a bus. The company was quite far away from the university, about 40 minutes ride on the subway.

Li Xianyu went with the flow on the train carriage. Wherever people leaned towards, he would as well. If he was surrounded by young ladies and sisters, he could still enjoy some benefits. He arrived at the station in forty minutes and felt no fatigue at all. After his awakening, he was no longer the old him.

He didn’t see his roommate at the entrance of the school. He called to ask them, and found out that they had already opened a private room and ordered good food. It was in the Hunan Cuisine restaurant on campus.

It was a special restaurant for dormitory dinners. It was cheap, and students could afford it. It was well-decorated and had an aromatic taste.

When Li Xianyu pushed open the door of the compartment, there were six people sitting in the small compartment, three roommates and three girls. Li Xianyu only knew one of the girls. She was his roommate, Zhao Yi’s girlfriend, surnamed Zhang. He had forgotten her name.

When Li Xianyu came in, the girls’ eyes brightened quietly.

Li Xianyu was handsome and had fair skin. After awakening, he had never looked more radiant. His whole body glowed. The opposite sex would naturally be attracted by this.

“Where have you been in the last half month?” Yang Guangtai, a singleton, stared and asked. “Did you go to Thailand?”

Zhao Yi waved to him energetically. “We’re just waiting for you, how big a thing is it if you haven’t come to school for so long?”

His roommates did not deliberately mention the incident in the women’s toilets. It was not a glorious thing. It was not a nice thing to mention in front of the girls that were present.

Huang Yicong did not pay attention to Li Xianyu. He sat in a stupefied position, his pupils were scattered, and his face was pale. He looked like his body had been hollowed out.

Li Xianyu gave him a hard pat on the shoulder. The latter trembled all over and seemed to be greatly frightened. After seeing Li Xianyu, he was relieved yet angry as he said, “What are you doing?”

“What are you doing? Pay more attention to your health.”

There were outsiders, hence Li Xianyu could not say that “he was sucked dry by his girlfriend last night.” One could not give him any face, but one needed to respect a man’s liver.

The waiter began to serve the dishes when all the people were present.

Zhao Yi was the initiator of the dinner party. He introduced the other two girls to Li Xianyu. The cute girl with a round face was Wang Mengmeng. Her eyes were big and flashing. Li Xianyu rated her a 6/10. The other girl was average-looking and had long hair, but looked elegant.

The men drank beer while the women consumed normal beverages. Zhao Yi grabbed Li Xianyu’s shoulder and said in his ear, “In our dormitory, only you and Guangtai are single. Comrade, you are lagging behind. Let me find a decent girl for you. The girl with the round face on my left is my girlfriend’s best friend. She comes from a decent family. You don’t have a girlfriend yet, right?”

Was this a blind date?

Zhao Yi was a wealthy heir of his family. When he first entered school, he bragged to everyone, saying that his father had assets in the tens of millions. Over the past few years, his family business had been in good condition. He should have become even richer. Other than the fact that he was a little bratty to the point where people wanted to beat him up, he was still a decent chap who was generous.

Li Xianyu took a glance at the round-faced girl. “Guangtai is obviously into her.”

Zhao Yi replied unpleasantly, “Guangtai has no game. He can’t even get the other one. Tell me why women’s standards are so high now. They are average-looking, yet dream of getting a long-legged oppa all day.”

Li Xianyu smiled and said, “You can help to set Guangtai up. Forget about me. I don’t intend on finding a girlfriend.”

Recently, he had seen too many beautiful women. He was getting really tired of aesthetic appreciation.

Zhao Yi pouted. “If you don’t want a girlfriend, you can be their friend with benefits…”

“What do you mean?”

“You know…”

“You’re better than me. Why don’t you be their friend with benefits instead?”

“I agree, but my girlfriend disagrees.”

Yang Guangtai raised a glass of wine and said, “What are you two muttering about? Li Xianyu, let’s drink.”

He drank with extraordinary heroism today. Everyone knew that, because the girls were present today.

After a few drinks, Yang Guangtai said, “You haven’t been online, you haven’t come to school. Where have you gone?”

Li Xianyu conjured up a half-truth. “Catching ghosts.”

Zhao Yi laughed and scolded, “Why haven’t you been sucked dry by a female ghost?”

Li Xianyu thought to himself, With Great-Grandma around, how can I get a female ghost?

“Did a girl commit suicide in the toilet some time ago in your school? That toilet had some supernatural encounters,” the girl with long hair, Chen Ling, said coquettishly. “I heard Huihui say that.”

“Women’s opinions, all of you gossip all day long.” Zhao Yi rolled his eyes.

“Didn’t you say that yourself?” Zhang Hui disagreed.

“You’re still talking….” He was secretly afraid that she would mention Li Xianyu’s misdeeds. Zhao Yi stared at his girlfriend and retorted, “There’s nothing.”

“How do you know there must be nothing?” Wang Mengmeng looked at Li Xianyu and saw him staring back at her. He quietly straightened his waist and sat up straight. “I’ve also encountered some strange events.”

“Are you going to make up a story?” Zhao Yi joked.

“No.” Wang Mengmeng rolled her eyes.” What I said is true. Of course, I’m not sure if it’s really a supernatural event.”
