Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique-Chapter 789 - 245

Chapter 789: 245

Chapter 789: 245

The Octagon Martial Arts School had urgently summoned all its disciples who were out and about on the day that Link left the valley.

All sellable assets were liquidated, while those that could not be sold were kept running in a low-key manner.

No matter the loss, it didn’t matter as long as they could keep their people safe through this foreseeable massive upheaval.

Preserve the land and lose the people, both land and people are lost. Preserve the people and lose the land, both land and people are preserved.

That’s just how it goes.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

“So, are you ready for some hands-on practice?”

In the laboratory, Link finished the operation, performing another “Construction” implantation. As he cleaned up the instruments, he asked the person next to him.

This person was Hu Suqi, who returned to Fuli County with Brother Shi.

Upon learning about the “Construction” procedure, she immediately became extremely curious and wanted to learn.

Having evaluated comprehensively and from twenty-odd days of observation, Hu Suqi signed the secrecy contract set by Link given the extraordinary results of the “Construction”.

As a magician, Hu Suqi had never seen such a contract, but she could feel its formidable potency.

It was far more sophisticated than any measures such as a prohibition curse.

Today was the fifth day of Hu Suqi learning hands-on “Construction” implantation under Link’s guidance.

The person on the surgical table was the fifteenth disciple to receive “Construction” implantation over the five days.

Studying the knowledge of the Human Immortal Martial Path’s “Construction” system arranged by Link, while learning hands-on practice, the learning intensity and requirements were nothing short of high.

“I might still lack a bit.”

Hu Suqi reviewed the knowledge and skills she had gained and shook her head.

“No worries.”

Link got up and left, leading Hu Suqi towards the basement.

Wicked criminals were always in abundant supply.

Two basement levels had been fully remodeled – one as an isolation detention area, and the other as a laboratory and observation room.

“These are all your materials, practice well.”

Once they reached the second basement level, Link pointed to the twenty full isolation detention rooms and said in a neutral tone.

“So many?”

Upon seeing clearly, Hu Suqi couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Relax, they all deserve to die.”

Link saw through Hu Suqi’s thoughts behind her exclamation and provided an explanation in advance.

“You practice on your own, practice more.”

With these words, Link turned around and left.

Hu Suqi stood in place for quite some time before she started to act.

She only studied ancient witchcraft and not evil witchcraft to avoid becoming a cold-blooded demon who pursued power at the expense of humanity.

Therefore, even knowing that the martial artists who were soon to become her material were all heinous criminals, she still needed to make mental preparations.

After a while, Hu Suqi chose from the tags attached outside the isolation rooms, a debaucher who had ruined dozens of innocent girls.

This kind of person deserved a thousand cuts and endless suffering.

On the operating table, the subject was anesthetized, restrained, and properly prepped for surgery.

Hu Suqi gritted her teeth and began her first hands-on practice.

At this point, Link had already teleported to another location.

Last night, Hu Songqi had seized the opportunity to slip away from the inner guards and the underground forces left by Hu Shengqing. She had stealthily made her way here and got in touch with Link.

She would not forget the opportunity Link had promised for transcendence, and the power that could potentially allow her to kill Hu Shengqing.

“You finally arrived.”

Sitting in a cave illuminated by a luminescent pearl, Hu Songqi’s voice was ghostly, “I thought you had abandoned me after using me.”

“Nonsense.”

Link scoffed and then asked, “Are you ready?”

“Of course.”

Hu Songqi stood up, her robe dropped to the floor as she walked naked towards the stone platform. She didn’t seem to mind the cold as she lay down directly on it.

Link approached the stone platform and carefully examined Hu Songqi’s body, not letting any detail slip past him.

“Turn over.”

After examining for a while, Link gave an order.

Without hesitation, Hu Songqi immediately turned over and lay face down on the platform.

After further examination, Link felt he had a good grasp of the situation.

“Alright, you can lie back now.”

With that said, Link took out the necessary instruments and materials and arranged them properly.

Hu Songqi actively lay in a spread position, allowing Link free rein to do his work.

Considering Hu Songqi’s physical condition, tolerance, and foundation in Evil Witchcraft, Link dug into his memory and brought out the “Shadow Annihilation” kit he had designed for Christina.

Of course, he couldn’t entirely copy the design but merely borrow the concept of it.

The kit Link designed for Hu Songqi was named “Shadow Sting,” with only two functionalities – merging into shadow and backstabbing.

Merging into shadows wasn’t a standard shadow-escape technique but Link’s masterpiece in Teleportation.

Following Master Li Shuwen’s theory, “Shadow Sting” merging into the shadow was akin to the effect of the Shadow City disappearing into the shadow layer in the Wizard World, making it incredibly hard to detect and extremely suitable for stealth and assassination.

As for backstabbing, it conceptually enhanced the attack power when striking enemies from behind.

Given that Hu Songqi’s chances of winning in direct combat against Hu Shengqing were virtually zero, her only option was assassination.

“Shadow Sting” was perfectly suited for this.

Designing the “Shadow Sting” kit also gave Link considerable gains.

The Hollow Void Stage was essentially understanding and analyzing concepts and rules.

Designing the “Shadow Sting” kit allowed Link to grasp some part of the world’s rules and concepts related to darkness, shadow, and assassination.

He was not far from advancing to the Hollow Void Stage of the Human Immortal Martial Path now.

After much hard work, the Tier 1 “Shadow Sting” kit was successfully implanted in Hu Songqi’s body.

After further refinement, the “Shadow Sting” kit could potentially be upgraded to Tier 5!

In the “Construction” system created by Link in the Human Immortal Martial Path, each tier corresponded to a spiritual energy realm. Tier 1 to the Condensation Realm, Tier 2 to the Normalization Realm, Tier 3 to the Hollow Void Stage. Tier 5 didn’t have a corresponding realm as of yet.

That’s because he hadn’t met a practitioner of the fifth stage in this world.

But he assumed it to be unattainable.

Probably somewhere between the peak of the Hollow Void Stage and the fifth stage.

“Don’t practice Evil Witchcraft anymore, practice this instead,” Link suggested, leaving behind two booklets before he left.

Having to endure the implantation of the “Construction” without anesthesia, Hu Songqi was completely conscious throughout. After Link left, she sat up, her eyes filled with annoyance.

Was she ugly?

Was her physique not good?

Not even a hint of interest, just like a rock. Absolutely… infuriating.

Hu Songqi, still in her naked state, picked up the two booklets in a huff and started reading them.

The first book detailed the design philosophy of “Shadow Sting,” its refinement method, usage suggestions, and advice.

The second book covered various Secret Techniques and combat methods that could be paired with the “Shadow Sting” kit, boasting a grandeur and purity that surpassed even Ancient Witchcraft.

“What’s this…?” Hu Songqi’s breathing became quite labored and her face turned crimson with excitement.

Link paid no attention to the impact the booklets left on Hu Songqi.

He just wanted her to kill Hu Shengqing and increase the chances of cutting the strings of fate, that’s it.

Even if Hu Songqi’s assassination attempt failed, it wouldn’t affect Link much.

Link appeared on a mountaintop, gazing in the direction of the Mixed Element Sect.

With the gradual spread of the Human Immortal Martial Path “Construction” system, two of the threads of fate revolving around Link, connected to the development of the Octagon Martial Arts School and the Human Immortal Martial Path were nearly cut off.

The only one related to his master, Li Shuwen, has not changed yet.

Before, Link had guessed that perhaps helping Master Li Shuwen reach the “Seeing God” Stage would do the trick.

But now, Link had an ominous premonition. The Mixed Element Sect was in trouble and Master Li Shuwen was caught up in it.

If he could help his Master and the Sect thrive in this crisis, it might significantly weaken the strings of fate.

However, Link didn’t act hastily.

He returned to Fuli County and made full use of the intelligence network he had built over the years to gather information.

Once he pieced together what had happened from the fragmented information, only then did Link take action.

Link needn’t worry too much about Master Li Shuwen’s safety.

Anyone or any force capable of killing Li Shuwen would equally be capable of killing the current Link.

The core of the crisis that the Mixed Element Sect was embroiled in was not in itself.

It was in the Capital City.

The Inner Guards!
