Chapter 36 - Psychic Master! Hidden Race?

After obtaining the ice flower, Lu Huai left the basin.

He found a place and hid in it.

After making sure that no one was around, Lu Huai slowly took out the ice flower.

The ice flower in his hand exuded a threatening cold air.

“Should I just directly use it?”

Lu Huai felt a little hesitant.

He did not know what the ice flower in his hand was, and he was worried that it would not do him well if he used it so casually.

However, Lu Huai still did not feel safe with the ice flower in his hand.

What if the ghost demon detected the aura of the ice flower and continued to chase after him?

In the battle just now, Lu Huai’s attack had not caused any substantial damage to the ghost demon at all.

“Screw it!”

Lu Huai gritted his teeth.

He believed that since the ice flower was a natural treasure, it should be something good. He trusted in Lin Xiaomeng’s vision as the daughter of a martial emperor.

Lu Huai pondered as he circulated his body tempering art.

After returning to the Heavenly Divine Academy, he would have to study these things.

Otherwise, he would not be able to make an accurate judgment when he encountered such a situation again in the future.

He did not want to be a brute who only knew how to fight.

Under the influence of the body tempering art, the ice melted slowly, turning into air and flowing into Lu Huai’s body.

This stream of air was very cool and cleared one’s mind.

However, Lu Huai clearly remembered that when he used the treasures sent by the people from the big forces to cultivate, the air that flowed into his body was warm.

But the ice flower had already been completely refined, and it was too late for him to force it out.

Then, something strange happened.

This cool stream of air did not gather into the qi in his body but went straight into his mind.

“What’s going on?”

Lu Huai was shocked. He hurriedly activated his body tempering art, but the cold air in his mind did not react at all.

There shouldn’t be any problems, right?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lu Huai felt an intense tearing pain in his brain.

The sudden pain almost made Lu Huai cry out.

He could only grit his teeth and endure the pain.

The pain intensified, and bean-sized beads of sweat kept dripping from Lu Huai’s forehead.

The intense pain lasted for more than ten minutes before it slowly subsided.

Lu Huai was panting heavily.

After a while, Lu Huai stood up and moved his body.

His blood and qi did not feel like they were surging, and he did not feel like they got stronger either.

On the other hand, his mind had become much clearer compared to before.

Moreover, Lu Huai could sense the movements of every blade of grass and tree in the surroundings.

He could even clearly see an ant crawling under his feet.

Lu Huai could not help but be immersed in the magical feeling he was currently experiencing.

But then the roars of the demonic beasts from afar brought him back to his senses.

Lu Huai’s eyes were filled with surprise.

He could clearly feel that he had gained much finer control over his blood and qi.

He could even feel a mysterious current in his mind.

“Have I become similar to the psychic masters that Dean Liu was talking about?”

Lu Huai tried to make contact with the air that had flowed into his mind.

He felt like everything around him was under his control.

Lu Huai subconsciously looked at a stone beside him.

Fwoo…

The stone slowly rose into the air and wobbled before remaining suspended in mid-air.

Lu Huai was constantly trying out his new abilities as if he had discovered a new world.

He only sat down when he finally felt a little tired.

“I did not expect to become a psychic master by chance…”

Lu Huai muttered.

It was really like he was given a pillow when he was feeling sleepy.

He had previously been feeling troubled that the frequent and delicate manipulation that he required for his blood and qi would cause his mind and spirit to become unstable.

But now, he had the powerful spiritual strength that was unique to psychic masters.

Didn’t this mean that his battle endurance had increased significantly?

“I didn’t expect to have such an encounter during the entrance examination.”

Lu Huai smiled very happily.

Although it was already late at night, his spiritual strength made him feel no fatigue at all.

On the contrary, he felt elated and filled with energy.

Since he could not rest, Lu Huai released his perception to sense everything around him.

“They’re all outsiders. Just kill them.”

A cold male voice was heard by Lu Huai.

Perhaps it was a student who was taking the test?

Lu Huai did not intend to pay attention to it, but some movements caught by his ears caught his attention.

It appeared that someone was approaching him.

“There’s a spiritual fluctuation.”

“We’ve been discovered.”

Lu Huai had just stood up and was about to leave when he heard these words.

In the next moment, three figures in black robes appeared in front of him.

These figures did not look like students of the Heavenly Divine Academy at all.

Lu Huai did not remember any students wearing such clothes when they got on the shuttle.

The faint smell of blood wafted into his nose.

Lu Huai sharply noticed that one of the black-robed men seemed to be holding something in his hand.

It was a human heart!

Lu Huai’s pupils shrank.

It was undoubtedly a human heart. It was still dripping with blood, and he could even see that the heart was still following its final conditioned reflex to beat.

“He’s also an outsider.” One of the black-robed men said.

“What do we do?”

“Just kill him. We still have yet to collect enough sacrifices.”

The black-robed men immediately took action and rushed toward Lu Huai.

The sudden malice caused Lu Huai to immediately go on high alert. He turned and used windward step, immediately escaping the encirclement of the three black-robed men.

Outsider?

Why are they calling me an outsider?

Lu Huai could not understand.

“Ancient technique, star-plucking fist!”

Lu Huai could clearly see that as the blood and qi of one of the black-robed men surged, the stars in the sky flickered a few times.

Then, they turned into specks of light in the hands of the black-robed man and rushed toward Lu Huai.

Lu Huai no longer held back.

He immediately charged up his earth-shattering fist and hurled his fist at the black-robed man.

Bang!

The two fists collided.

A powerful impact came from the collision, and Lu Huai could not help but take a step back.

The other side also retreated.

He was also a martial master!

Lu Huai instantly recognized the other party’s cultivation realm.

“He’s very strong. Let’s attack together!” The black-robed man landed beside his companion and said coldly.

Three waves of blood and qi surged, and a powerful attack was launched toward Lu Huai.

Lu Huai did not dodge.

Steam rose from his body.

Thump!

The impact wave spread outward!

The three black-robed men fell back like kites with broken strings.

After landing, one of the black-robed men exclaimed in surprise, “This is the morning drum and evening bell!”

“You’re also from the Hidden Race!”

The morning drum and evening bell?

What are they talking about?

“Since we’re from the same race, why didn’t you tell us your identity?” The black-robed man stood up and said angrily.

Lu Huai was a little confused.

What and what?

Seeing that Lu Huai did not say anything, the black-robed man snorted coldly, “Just don’t disturb our worship of the gods. Let’s go!”

Just like that, the three black-robed men departed as quickly as they arrived.

Even Lu Huai did not know what had happened.

However, Lu Huai was very concerned about the Hidden Race and the worship of the gods that they had mentioned.

If he was not mistaken, the last time Big Black had gone out, someone had also mentioned the Hidden Race.

What exactly was the Hidden Race?

Lu Huai pondered for a moment and decided to take a look ahead of him.

After all, the three black-robed figures had come from that direction.

Following the trail of blood on the ground, Lu Huai saw two bodies, one male and one female.

His eyes were wide open as if he had experienced something terrifying before he died.

There was a huge bloody hole in his chest, and his heart was gone.

“This is a student from the Heavenly Divine Academy who’s taking the entrance examination!”
