Chapter 138: Mysterious Soul Binding Equipment!
The smoke dispersed, and the flames dissipated.
On the boundless beach, Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, and Zhu Chengyu faced each other, panting heavily.
Deep within their eyes, there was a mixture of suspicion, uncertainty, and shock.
What just happened?
They were engaged in a fierce battle when suddenly, a blazing blood-red flame swept in from a distance.
It engulfed the hundreds of inferior beings surrounding them, reducing them to ashes.
Many of the inferior beings were instantly turned into dried corpses by the blood-red flames.
Even the powerful inferior beings turned and fled, but they couldn't stop the burning of the flames.
The screams and wails were incessant. In just a few minutes, all the inferior beings were burned to death.
"Hu...hu..."
The adrenaline rush technique on Bai Jingqi wore off, and he collapsed onto the ground.
His head and back were drenched in sweat, and he looked extremely exhausted.
But his eyes still held a sense of uncertainty.
"What happened to the inferior beings? Why did they all die?"
"And what are these flames? What kind of ghostly thing is this..."
"I don't know."
Qin Zheng walked over, intending to help Bai Jingqi up, but his own adrenaline rush technique also wore off at that moment.
He stumbled and crashed into Bai Jingqi, causing both of them to grimace in pain.
"Stop moving, you two."
Zhu Chengyu also walked over, panting heavily. Behind him, the young dragon lay flat on the ground.
It stuck out its tongue and breathed heavily.
"So this is the weakened state of the adrenaline rush technique. It's really... my legs feel weak!"
"To be honest, what's the deal with these blood-red flames? Why do they only burn the inferior beings and not us?"
"And... I seem to have seen many figures in these flames."
Bai Jingqi grinned, "What are you joking about? How can there be people inside the fire?"
"Zheng Cheng is here, let's ask him. Maybe he knows..."
Zheng Cheng walked over and nodded after hearing their questions. "It's my skill... I just completed the level 20 breakthrough task and learned a new skill."
"So fast!"
The three of them were very surprised.
Their levels were all around level 18.
They had originally planned to rush to level 20 in one go, but unexpectedly, Zheng Cheng, a Priest with only three stars, reached level 20 first!
Zhu Chengyu asked curiously, "Even if you're level 20 and have learned a new professional skill, it shouldn't be this strong, right?"
"This is the flame that ignited so much blood fire, enough to burn hundreds of inferior beings to death. It's really powerful!"
Zheng Cheng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's an accident. I suspect it has something to do with the Blood Guanyin."
"Blood Guanyin..."
The three of them exchanged glances, and Qin Zheng asked, "What do you mean? Isn't Blood Guanyin a tribute from the inferior beings? How..."
"No."
Zheng Cheng shook his head and said, "Blood Guanyin is not a tribute from the inferior people, but our fellow countrymen from the Xia Kingdom!"
"Just now, I saw from Blood Guanyin..."
Afterwards, Zheng Cheng told them everything he had seen or remembered from Blood Guanyin.
Soldiers, farmers, workers...
Rifles, bayonets, big knives...
Uncles, uncles, little grass...
Great general...
After a long time, Yao Zhixue and others also arrived.
After a big battle, only Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, Song Chaoyu, Caiji, Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, Zhu Chengyu, and a few others were left.
Chen Xiao, Yang Haoran, Hao Zhao, and Jiang Muyun were all teleported out of the examination room for various reasons.
After hearing Zheng Cheng's account, their eyes were filled with surprise and realization.
"When I used the new skill just now, I seemed to have seen their figures."
Zheng Cheng said, "Perhaps this skill has such great power because they are secretly helping me."
"In the future, my skills may not have that kind of effect anymore..."
Although severely injured, Caiji, who was still holding on, said strangely, "Brother Cheng, are you saying that you saw the three million unjust souls on Blood Guanyin?"
"It was with their help that you were able to withstand so many inferior people on Blood Guanyin."
"And this raging fire..."
"Yes."
Zheng Cheng nodded and said, "I'm not too sure about the specifics..."
"Alright."
Yao Zhixue suddenly interrupted Zheng Cheng and said, "Regardless, we are still alive, aren't we?"
"Yes, we are alive!"
"Hahaha, the mission is complete! We destroyed Blood Guanyin!"
"Doesn't that mean we can return to the examination room now?"
"Blood Guanyin was destroyed by Zheng Cheng, so that world treasure belongs to him!"
"It's a pity that so many inferior people were burned to ashes, and we can't even cut off their ears..."
"Envious..."
Zheng Cheng glanced at Yao Zhixue. If he continued to ask, he didn't know how to answer.
The group of people discussed eagerly, their expressions unusually relaxed.
After ten days of fighting and chaos, it finally came to an end.
Although some were seriously injured, fortunately, no one died.
And they completed the assessment mission.
Some were already fantasizing about the rewards that would be given after the assessment ended.
"Not so fast."
Zheng Cheng shook his head and said, "There are still inferior people in Jiuhu City."
"I promised the great general that I would kill all the inferior people here and not give up halfway."
"Besides, Li Zhen, Li Jiao, and Chen Zixiong, aren't they still in Jiuhu City?"
"By the way, Li Zhen, Jiao Jiao!"
Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi also reacted and quickly said, "Let's go support them. The scum there is just as strong as here."
"Let's go, rest while walking..."
"Ah~!"
Suddenly, Zhu Chengyu's young dragon walked over, still holding something in its mouth and placed it in front of the group.
Zhu Chengyu walked over curiously and said, "Black Dragon, I told you not to randomly carry things. What did you bring this time?"
"Let me see... Blood Guanyin!"
Zhu Chengyu exclaimed, and the others looked over in surprise.
"What? Blood Guanyin?"
"Wasn't Blood Guanyin destroyed? Why is it still here?"
"Chengyu, what do you have in your hand?"
"It really is Blood Guanyin!"
The group exclaimed as they saw what Zhu Chengyu took out from the young dragon's mouth - a miniature version of Blood Guanyin.
It was about five centimeters in size, shaped like a jade pendant, and very delicate.
Zhu Chengyu carefully examined it and helplessly said, "It's a special equipment... but it's soul-bound, so I can't check it."
Everyone took a look and confirmed it.
[Name: Blood Guanyin]
[Attributes: Unable to query]
[Note: Soul-bound item, only the owner can view it.]
Yao Zhixue suddenly had a thought and looked at Zheng Cheng, saying, "Zheng Cheng, check it out. Maybe you are the owner of Blood Guanyin."
The others' eyes also lit up, and Caiji was especially excited, saying, "Brother Cheng, take a look!"
"Yeah! Zheng Cheng destroyed that Blood Guanyin statue and met the soul inside. Maybe he got bound to it!"
"Among us, besides Zheng Cheng, I can't think of anyone else who would qualify!"
"Take a look..."
As everyone urged, Zheng Cheng took the Blood Guanyin statue.
As soon as he held it, the statue emitted a faint blood light.
The temperature on it also changed from cold to warm.
Everyone's eyes brightened, and Zheng Cheng's eyes were also filled with surprise.
"It really works...?"

[Current bound soul target: Zheng Cheng (Unique).]
"Hiss... this..."
Looking at the specific attributes of the Blood Guanyin, Zheng Cheng took a sharp breath.
This Blood Guanyin jade pendant completely inherits all the abilities of the Blood Guanyin that they just destroyed.
And, it also has a passive equipment called 'I Offer My Blood to Xuanyuan'.
Growth!
Moreover, this jade pendant can even have unlimited growth, with infinite possibilities!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zheng Cheng's expression, the others quickly asked.
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Cheng decided to reveal all the attributes of this jade pendant to everyone.
"Damn! An equipment with growth potential!"
"Blood Flesh Puppet? Can it grow by absorbing blood?"
"I Offer My Blood to Xuanyuan... this attribute..."
"Have you guys noticed..."
Suddenly, Zhu Chengyu said, attracting everyone's attention.
"Zheng Cheng's equipment is very similar to certain other equipment..."
The eyes of several people flickered, immediately saying, "Innate Armament!"
When professionals awaken, as long as they are above the Seven-Star level, they have the possibility of receiving the gift of the heavens and obtaining an innate armament.
They complement the professional skills of the professionals and can also grow alongside the professionals' growth.
For example, Yao Zhixue's staff, Zhu Chengyu's Golden Dragon Spear, Bai Jingqi's Yan Chi Blade, Song Chaoyu's Soul Absorbing Crystal, and so on.
And now, the Blood Guanyin in Zheng Cheng's hand undoubtedly has similar abilities!
"It's different."
Qin Zheng immediately shook his head and said, "Our innate armaments can only grow by absorbing soul power along with us."
"And Zheng Cheng's Blood Guanyin can not only absorb soul power but also the blood of living beings."
"Whether it's the speed of growth or the power, it is much stronger than our innate armaments!"
"The preciousness of this Blood Guanyin is far above our innate armaments!"
"That's right."
Zhu Chengyu also said, "Zheng Cheng, the Blood Guanyin chose you, it's also your luck. I hope you won't let it down!"
"I see the shadow of our predecessors in its presence."
"Don't worry."
Zheng Cheng nodded and said, "I won't let them down!"
In front of him, it seemed like he saw the figures of people waving at him again.
"Let's go, we'll ride the Blood Guanyin to Jiuhu City."
"This time, we will completely wipe out the inferior beings on Yidu Island!"
