Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1164: Grade


Miss walked into the room, and at first glance, saw her sister. The joy of surviving together after reuniting on the ancient battlefield made the two sisters hug each other tightly.

For them, coming from a single-parent family, outsiders can't understand the significant role the sisters played in each other's growth. They both value the other's life more than their own; this is the depth of family love.

"Xuanxuan, it's good that nothing happened to you. You scared your sister to death. Don't do such foolish things again." Miss remarked with slight reproach; she couldn't bring herself to say anything too harsh to her surviving sister.

Xiao Manxuan stuck out her tongue, obediently saying, "I understand, I promise this is the last time."

Miss could only shake her head helplessly, knowing that her sister's promise was useless because, with her sister's personality, she would still do the same if that situation happened again.

A woman in white walked in, and at first glance, saw the Seven Star Soul Calming Lamp beside the bed, her eyes showing slight surprise.

"Demon Exorcist?" The woman in white looked at Zhang Lingyu and said indifferently.

"The talented individual from the Ancient Martial World, Tang Ziqing." Zhang Lingyu also looked at the woman in white and said indifferently. Lin Tian had known Miss for so long, yet it was only from Zhang Lingyu's mouth that he learned the name of the woman in white.

The expression of the woman in white didn't change. She said in the same tone, "Seeing your outfit, haven't we met somewhere before?"

"Since you have guessed, why ask again?" Zhang Lingyu replied lightly.

Lin Tian detected a hint of hostility in their words, especially Zhang Lingyu's, whose tone wasn't very good. Indeed, back at Fanyin Temple, Zhang Lingyu had a minor clash with this woman in white called Tang Ziqing when capturing a vampire.

"Master, Zhang Lingyu is a classmate of Xuanxuan and Lin Tian." Miss stood up and introduced, afraid that the two meet again might start a fight, as previously at Fanyin Temple, Master had some words of advice for Zhang Lingyu.

Not knowing her identity before was one thing, but now knowing she is a friend, if they were to fight, being a disciple would be awkward.

"Hmm." Tang Ziqing just hummed once, without expressing anything further. Zhang Lingyu did not say more, and independently tidied the Seven Star Soul Calming Lamp.

Lin Tian was thinking to himself, amazed by how formidable and ambitious the women of this era were, each refusing to yield to anyone.

However, it's understandable as well. Tang Ziqing, less than thirty years old, had already reached the Innate Realm. In front of such a woman, any man would feel ashamed, while Zhang Lingyu, at eighteen, just legally an adult, was already the successor of the Heavenly Master of the Demon Exorcism Family, with profound skills.

Both young and promising, genius-like figures, and astonishing beauties naturally held high spirits and pride.

"Lin Tian, how is Xuanxuan?" Miss seized the opportunity to change the subject, speaking, while also worried that although her sister had awoken, she might have some hidden concerns.

Lin Tian walked forward, glanced at Tang Ziqing, and said, "Second Miss is protected by the Ice Soul Necklace and won't have issues for now, but the energy within her remains untamed. If provoked in the future, it's highly likely to erupt again, and it could be more severe; then it would be dangerous."

"You're right. When Xuanxuan first had an incident, it was much milder than this time. Acupuncture medicine could calm her special energy, but this time, the medicine is ineffective. I dare not imagine what the consequences would be if it erupts again." Miss said worriedly.

"Sister, I finally understand why you don't want me to learn Ancient Martial Arts. I never understood before; it was my fault." Xiao Manxuan said, ashamed.

"You were young then and might not have been able to accept it. Now that you are an adult, you have the right to know your own matters." Miss said lovingly.

"These are small matters; finding a complete solution is the major issue." Lin Tian reminded, looking at Tang Ziqing, and said, "Miss Tang, may I ask you a question? You have encountered Second Miss's special energy twice; what exactly is the nature of this energy, and why is it so overbearing?"

Tang Ziqing seemed to consider for a moment before saying, "Solely judging from the energy's exhibited traits, the Ancient Martial World has True Energy very similar to it."

"Master, do you mean the Fiery Fire Technique?" Miss spoke softly.

Tang Ziqing nodded slowly, saying, "Indeed. The True Energy of those who cultivate the Fiery Fire Technique is similar in nature to Xuanxuan's special energy, but compared to it, there is a difference. Xuanxuan's energy is much superior in quality, and Xuanxuan hasn't practiced it; her energy is innate."

"Are you referring to fire-attribute energy?" Lin Tian asked, probing.

"Yes, both are fire-attribute energy, but the grades differ." Tang Ziqing affirmed.

"Energy also has grades?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled.

"Aren't you an Ancient Martial Artist? How could you not know even this?" Tang Ziqing glanced at Lin Tian, questioning.

Zhang Lingyu felt somewhat awkward because she knew Lin Tian wasn't an Ancient Martial Artist, so naturally would not understand matters about cultivation.

Miss didn't know the reason, but she explained for Lin Tian, "Master, Lin Tian's master is a hidden expert, and did not teach him much about cultivation basics."

Tang Ziqing didn't express anything further, continuing, "It's exactly because Xuanxuan's internal energy is of high grade that the medicine is ineffective, requiring special methods instead."

"How high is the level?" Lin Tian, with a thought, asked, because he himself had fire-element energy within him, making him and Xiao Manxuan's energy more akin.

Tang Ziqing seemed unwilling to explain more to Lin Tian, a cultivation novice, and said briefly, "You wouldn't grasp it, simply put, higher than my Innate True Qi energy."

Lin Tian was unfazed by her attitude, instead extended his palm, saying, "Is it as high as this?"

Everyone in the room was puzzled and looked at him when suddenly, a purple flame rose from his palm.

Xiao Manxuan, not being a cultivator, did not sense much, but the other three women's expressions changed, retreating quickly, especially Tang Ziqing, whose beautiful eyes were fixed on the purple flame.

Not only them but Lin Tian himself was startled. Previously it was just a small flame, but this time it unexpectedly became a fireball, several times larger.

However, after calming down, Lin Tian understood the reason. He had swallowed Black Impermanence's Evil Qi energy in the Netherworld, unknowingly increasing his power significantly.

Now recalling this, Lin Tian regretted a bit. If he had known the absorption was so useful, he should have absorbed White Impermanence as well.

"Lin Tian…" Miss's call pulled him from his thoughts.

Only then did Lin Tian notice the few women around him standing at a distance, all wary and stunned by the purple flame.
