Chapter 111 Chapter 88 Stigma, Boundless Wind

Chapter 111 The th Stigma, Boundless Wind

After solidifying the two inherent skills, the appearance of the rookie dog has been slightly adjusted. The head is a little bigger and looks more majestic, and the four paws are also bigger.

"Ahhh!" The evolved rookie immediately barked excitedly at Ash and trotted around him to vent his excitement.

Dart stood on Ash's shoulder and looked at Rookie with envy.

Ash jumped and sat directly on the back of the dog.

Feeling the slightly rising and falling body, Ash nodded with satisfaction. Well, it wasn't so bumpy anymore, and it had become a good mount.

"Okay, let's go back." Ash patted the rookie dog under him, and the rookie dog immediately trotted towards the dormitory.

In the next few days, Ash continued to hunt some rare monsters with his dog and darts, and the achievement of the Thousand Monsters Map was almost completed.

As for the clone, Ash didn't plan to work on it until his eyes healed. He just wanted to relax. After all, he hadn't had a single day off in the past two months and he was really tired.

However, this has made things difficult for some people. Apart from the clones who worked hard, several of them have developed a lot of loyal fans in the past two months.

Among them, the two most popular ones are pastry chef and chef.

It was fine for one or two days, but after not seeing these two "people" for three or four days, the diners suspected that something had happened to them and began to look for them spontaneously.

Divination, tracking, fortune-telling... all kinds of mystical methods were used, but in the hidden world, they could not get a result. Only a very few found clues physically and began to approach the source.

boom!
A ten-meter-tall white ape flew backwards and broke countless trees before it stopped.

The white ape staggered to its feet, with one of its hands twisted and drooping, and its large eyes stared in horror at the short figure slowly approaching from a distance.

It turned around and ran away. It was so horrible. It was just a punch, but it, a superior bronze species that was good at hand-to-hand combat, actually had its arm broken.

What's even more terrifying is that it can feel that the Homo sapiens in front of it did not use any fighting spirit at all, which means that the punch he just threw was purely physical strength.

Just as the white ape was about to escape, he felt his heel being grabbed. He felt dizzy and the pain of his body hitting a hard object continued to come.

Boom boom boom!
The ground was pounded with a loud noise that lasted for a while.

Ash stopped and spat at the dead white ape. Didn't he know that disturbing a foodie's meal was a very dangerous thing? And knocking over his food was even more dangerous!
Just now, he was eating barbecue contentedly when the white ape suddenly jumped over and splashed mud all over his food.

This made Ash very angry, so he used the brutal method just now to smash it to death. Under normal circumstances, he would not kill the enemy cruelly.

Ash had a gloomy face, but when he saw the information in his sight, his face became better.

{Achievement: [Thousand Monsters Map] Completed, Reward: Extract one of the Thousand Monsters' inherent skills that is highly compatible with you.}
{Activate achievement [Ten Thousand Monsters]: Kill ten thousand kinds of monsters.}
Ash received the reward.

{Skill extraction: [Quick Healing] successful, compatibility 96%, do you want to merge?}
Without reading the introduction, Ash directly chose fusion.

{Inherent Skill: [Quick Healing] has been solidified.}
{It is detected that the skill · [Quick Healing] and the skill · [Energetic] can be combined and sublimated. Do you want to consume 10 achievement points to sublimate?}
Yes.

[Achievement Points: 600-》590]

{The combination of skill · [Fast Healing] and skill · [Vigorous] has been successfully upgraded, and the inherent skill · [Super-Speed ​​Healing] has been solidified.}
[Super-Speed ​​Healing]: Your wound healing speed is greatly improved, and your physical condition is greatly improved.

Looking at the new skills, Ash stroked his chin:
'If a severed limb regenerates, the Immortal Heart can be assembled. The Immortal Heart, the Indestructible Body, the Incorruptible Body and the Immortal Soul are the most recognized combination of divine bodies. Now only the Immortal Soul is missing.'

Ash's eyes fell on the three achievements of establishing virtue, establishing words, and establishing a career. He had a feeling that the skill of Immortal Soul should be applied to these three achievements.

On the other side, in front of Ash's dormitory, a woman wearing a straw hat and a black veil on her face arrived.

She stroked the golden-haired mouse in her hand and said, "Xiaobao, are you sure the smell is coming from here?"

The golden-haired mouse lying in the woman's palm nodded humanely.

"Great! I want to see who kidnapped Boss A Xiu." The woman was full of resentment. She was a big sweets lover. Without Boss A Xiu's delicious desserts, she had been feeling miserable in the past few days.

Ignoring the warning on the doorplate, the woman broke into the courtyard.

Crack!

Purple thunder suddenly appeared and struck the uninvited guest.

The black veil floated up, and a breath of air blew out from the woman's mouth, instantly dissipating the incoming lightning.

"Hmph, you do have some assets." The woman looked at the seventh-level Huailong tree that suddenly appeared next to her and snorted coldly. Then she glanced around and her eyes lit up because she saw Boss Ash's cart.

"Boss Ash, I'm here to see you!"

The door was violently pried open and the woman entered the room, frowning because the wind told her that there was no one here.

Out on business? How can I find him outside?

The woman took a look at the obvious signs of life and decided to wait.

But before that.

Bang! The refrigerator was opened. Looking at the dazzling array of desserts inside, the woman smiled. Let her enjoy the delicious food prepared by Boss Axiu.

In the afternoon, Ash came back with the packed ingredients and suddenly frowned.

Because he "saw" signs of the dormitory being invaded.

"Are you here for Nagarjuna? But it's okay."

Yaxiu glanced at the safe and sound Huailong Tree. The seventh-level Huailong Tree was an extremely precious thing. In order to prevent it from being stolen by thieves, he specially bought a hidden magic circle to hide it.

Who is it?
"Looking" and sensing the human body, Ash raised an eyebrow. He stole his things, but instead of running away, he dared to sit down and finish it. He was really bold.

The woman who was eating in the house also noticed that the owner of the house had returned, so she got up and went out to check, and then she met Ash who walked in at the door.

"Who are you?" Ash asked calmly.

"Rikki Astraea." The woman looked at Ash wearing a black mask, "Who are you?"

Rikki Astraea, why does this name sound familiar?

Ash said, "Ash, what do you want to do in my dormitory?"

"Ash?" Rikki looked Ash up and down, "Boss Ash?"

"Yeah." Ash nodded in acknowledgement.

Ruiji's face showed suspicion: "Then why are you different from Boss Ash?"

Ash said nothing, but explained with his actions. His blood and energy condensed, and two clones walked out of his body. They were the pastry chef clone and the chef clone he usually used.

Ruiji's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the two clones in surprise as they dealt with the mess in the living room.

"They are actually your clones!" Rikki exclaimed in surprise.

"One thousand gold coins as compensation, give me the money." Ash spread his hands.

"Okay." Ruiji paid without hesitation, "But Boss Xiu, why haven't you been at the stall in the past few days?"

"Don't I need to rest?" Ash took the money and went into the house without looking back. "Okay, we've seen the person, let's get out now."

"How long do you plan to rest?" asked Rikki.

"It should be about twenty days." Ash sat on the sofa, took off his mask, took a sip of the fruit drink handed to him by his clone.

"Ah, it took so long!" Rikki's face immediately became long.

"If you think it's too long, you can buy someone else's." Ash waved his hand with his back to Rikki, "Also, if you dare to break into my house again, you will never buy anything from me again."

This made Ruiji, who wanted to come a few more times, even more dissatisfied. After all, Boss Xiu usually only gave one portion of dessert per person, which made it difficult to enjoy the meal.

But today, like a mouse falling into a rice warehouse, after eating her fill all at once, Ruiji didn't want to act the same way as before.

"Let me make a deal, Boss Ash." Ruiji's voice became a little numb. "I see you usually make it. How about giving me some? I'll buy it at a high price."

"Your name is Riki Astraea, right?" Ash repeated to confirm. He remembered where he had heard this name before. "The 88th Stigma, the holder of the Infinite Wind?"

Ever since the Bakawa incident, the names of the former owners of the Sage's Pearl and current stigmata were announced by the organization of busybodies. Ash had also seen the list, and with his good memory, he naturally memorized it all.

"Yes." Ruiji nodded, then she thought of something and her expression suddenly became nervous, "You don't want to be my mentor, do you, Boss Ash?"

The Enlightener is the person who is responsible for strengthening the Fool during the Philosopher's Stone training ceremony.

Ash turned his head and said, "I'm quite curious about the Philosopher's Stone. Are you interested?"

"Well, if it's Boss Ash, then it's not impossible." Ruiji twisted her body, but screamed in her heart, so cute, so beautiful, Boss Ash's true face is so beautiful!
"But, dessert?" Ruiji was ready to fight for some more benefits for herself.

Ash nodded, "Enough."

"Then I love you so much, Boss Ash!" Riki immediately pounced on Ash.

Hugging Ash, Rikki said impatiently, "Then let's start now, Boss Ash."

"How to enlighten?" Ash asked.

"Do you want a faster or slower one?" Rikki arched her body. "A slower one, just give me a drop of blood every day, a faster one."

Rikki leaned close to Ash's ear and breathed softly, "We just need to do something that adults love to do."

"Like what?" Ash tilted his head.

"Like kissing, like making love." Ruiji's voice was charming.

"Then take off your veil." Ash said, "Let's walk faster."

"Boss Ash, you are so impatient." Rikki laughed and suddenly distanced herself from Ash. "I was just joking. Just give me a drop of blood."

"Heh." Ash sneered, "Then come and get your blood yourself."

"Okay, Boss Ash." Riki controlled the wind to take blood, but her expression quickly changed because she couldn't break Ash's defense at all.

"Boss Ash, your skin seems to be a little too tough. Are you a body of steel?" Ruiji said.

"I guess so." Ash nodded noncommittally.

"Then I have to be a little rude, Boss Ash." Riki took out a green awl, and without her moving, the green awl immediately stabbed at Ash.

Ding!
The blue cone collided with Ash's skin, making a sound similar to metal collision. There is actually a defensive inherent skill! ?

Rikki looked at the awl that had returned in vain, her pupils contracted. Even weapons couldn't break through his defense. Could this man's skin really be made of fine steel? !

"Boss Ash, this is boring. Why did you use defensive skills on purpose?" Rikki said angrily. After thinking about it, she just felt that it must be Ash who used the defensive skills on purpose, although she didn't feel it.

"You are too weak. This is my own defense." Ash glanced at Riki. Although his eyes did not move, the unspoken ridicule was visible to everyone.

This made Ruiji grit her teeth in anger. She was weak? What a joke! After all, she, Ruiji, was at the challenge level of 300. She was not as good as the top students, but she could still stand out in the second tier!
"Then I am really rude, Boss Ash." Rikki said with a wry smile.

The sound of the wind gradually became louder, like a woman sobbing. In the wind, the green cone spun rapidly, at such an extreme speed that ordinary people would think it was not spinning when they took a glance at it.

go with!
Silently, a green cone appeared in front of Ash's raised hand and pierced his palm.

Boom!
After a muffled sound, Rikki stared blankly at her weapon which had only pierced Ash's palm by a few millimeters, without even a single bleed.

Ash looked at his palms and was a little surprised at his current defensive strength. He was really relying solely on his physical defense to withstand the attack.

Taking back her weapon, Rikki looked at Ash as if he were a monster: "Are you a real dragon that turned into a human?"

She had only seen this kind of terrifying physical defense in dragons.

"No." Ash shook his head. A true dragon is only of the golden species. If we really want to classify it, then he is also an ancient dragon.

The levels of dragon species are divided from high to low as follows: ancient dragon, true dragon, sub-dragon, dragon vein, and dragon blood, which correspond to gems, gold, silver, bronze, and black iron respectively.

"So you're going to be a monk?" Rikke asked. Among warrior professions, the monk's defense is the most famous.

"Do you think I look like her?" Ash looked at Riki speechlessly.

Although there is no specific regulation on what a monk should look like, it is generally believed by the public that monks have a crew cut or are bald, and have a muscular body.

"Then your defense is too abnormal." Ruiji was amazed.

"They all say you're too weak." Ash waved his hand, "Hurry up, why is it so troublesome to just take blood?"

Rikki reluctantly moved closer to Ash: "Then hurry up."

Ash "watched" Rikki lift up her clothes, revealing her belly.

"Where is it? Point it out to me, I can't see it." said Ash.

Rikki frowned, "It's right below your belly button, how come you can't see it?"

"Oh." Ash pressed his finger directly on Riki's lower abdomen, pressing the blood that was forced out there. "I have no vision in my eyes now, and I rely entirely on perception."

"You en!" Just as Ruiji was about to ask, she felt waves of heat like fire surging towards her body from the stigmata.

On Ruiji's lower abdomen, the green holy mark that looked like a wing began to unfold like a folded wing, but after it unfolded, the seven-pointed star in the center was replaced by a dark golden Yinglong pattern that was connected end to end.

Ash also looked at the back of his hand thoughtfully. He felt a strange force eroding it.

However, as long as he wanted, he seemed to be able to erase that strange power at any time.

Ash did not clear it, after all, it was related to the Philosopher's Stone refining ceremony.

Soon, a pattern of green wings appeared on his palm, and through this mark, he could feel his breath connected to Riki's.

Rikki finally came back to her senses from the strengthening and looked at Ash with a strange look: "What kind of bloodline do you have that is so terrifying?"

Just now, most of her inherent skills were sublimated or differentiated at the same time. It is estimated that her challenge coefficient is now at least 7.5, and it is very likely to be 8. In just this way, she has stepped into the first tier of the younger generation.

It is impossible for other Fools to have such a terrifying degree of enhancement during their enlightenment, otherwise some Fools would not insist on participating alone.

It is because the degree of enhancement during enlightenment is large, but not to such an exaggerated extent.

Based on existing experience, the extent of enhancement during enlightenment is related to the bloodline and strength of the other half.

Her enhancement is so exaggerated, one can imagine how exaggerated the strength and bloodline of Ash are.

Ruiji suddenly remembered the words "You are too weak". Maybe, possibly, she really was too weak.

"You don't need to know unless you're willing to follow me." Ash picked up the water cup and took a sip. "If you have nothing else to do, go ahead. Just come here every night to get dessert."

"Oh, then goodbye, Boss Ash." Ruiji left quickly. She had to get familiar with this strength quickly and sort out what happened today. After all, it was a bit too shocking.

Ash looked at the back of his left hand. Not only was Rikki strengthened, but he was also strengthened. However, compared to Rikki's great improvement, his side was relatively weak.

The only thing that is strengthened is the [Heart of Elements].

But it’s not bad, at least there is still progress. The remaining 107 stacked together should be enough to push the [Heart of Elements] to the limit.

The next day, Ash went to the library to read. Although he couldn't see the words, it didn't matter, he could just listen to the books.

When the goblins saw Ash, who had not been seen for a "long time", coming in, they immediately rushed over.

Ash specifically asked for a big table, and then, in the surprised eyes of the goblins, nine "Ashes" walked out of Ash's body and sat down at the seats.

After putting candies and juice on the table, Ash discussed with the goblins, and then the goblins happily picked up a book each and started reading in front of Ash.

After finishing a book, he picked up a candy as big as his little finger and started licking it, which made the other little elves envious.

There are delicious smells, delicious food and great drinks. A large number of idle little goblins gather here, forcing the big goblins to come over to maintain order and avoid chaos.

As for driving Ash away, they never even thought about it. After all, he didn't do anything to affect other students' studies, and even the sound of his voice was isolated by the silent barrier.

And they also like the aura of Ash.

On the other side, in an arena composed of hundreds of floating arenas, the last clone Ash walked in.

"334085." Ash handed a string of numbers to the staff, "I want to participate in the competition."

The staff member processed it and nodded: "Okay, the student number has been logged in, please verify your personal information."

After saying that, he pushed a crystal plate to Ash with some questions on it.

Ash selected one and then pushed it to the staff.

The staff nodded: "Okay, Ash, shall we start matching opponents?"

"Let's get started." Ash nodded.

Soon, Ash was matched with his first opponent.

In Arena 97, Ash took the floating ladder and his opponent was already waiting on the other side.

A tall and straight but young-looking boy looked at his opponent and examined him.

He is short and has unclear muscle lines. Hmm, he looks like a mage.

Wait, sword!

Seeing Ash pulling a sword out of his body, the boy's pupils suddenly dilated, and then he revealed a hint of sarcasm. He had no idea what he was thinking when he was practicing sword skills with this physique.

Taking a look at the spear in his hand, the young man knew that he was sure to win this battle.

He is tall and his weapon is long, so he has the advantage by using his long against his short!
clang!
As the bell rang, the boy rushed towards Ash like a tiger descending from a mountain.

'So weak. '

Ash glanced at his opponent. He had a weak breath and unsteady steps. It seemed that he was just a rookie who had just started practicing.

He raised his sword with a hint of boredom.

Seeing Ash raising his sword, the boy narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he was born a commoner and had not even received basic combat training, yet he dared to leave such a big gap to him.

The young man took two steps at a time and thrust his spear forward, stabbing it hard at Ash's mask with a whistling sound.

He wanted to see what kind of idiot was under this mask.

Snapped!
A black shadow flew high up and then fell to the ground.

It was Ash's opponent. At this moment, there was a red and swollen stripe mark on his face, and he himself closed his eyes and fainted.

Ash put away his sword and looked at the staff beside him: "Arrange the next one."

The staff member did not look surprised. Having worked in the arena for more than ten years, he was accustomed to seeing the rise of various geniuses.

After all, Saint Laurent has thousands of students enrolled every year, with more than 30,000 students on campus all year round. These students come from various noble families or emerging civilian talents.

It is conceivable how many geniuses have risen here and then become stepping stones for others.

But for someone like Ash, the staff member looked at Ash who was leaving. He didn't see Ash make any moves just now, it was too fast.

Over the years, he had only seen moves that even he couldn't react to on dozens of people, but Ash was in the same grade as them.

In this period of time when life progresses the fastest, can first grade be compared with third grade?

Maybe it’s another brave man.

The staff thought so as they dragged the boy away.

Higher up in the arena, a competition also ended in a crushing defeat.

"Ruiji, are you enlightened?" A blond, green-eyed young man looked unwillingly at the tall woman opposite him. Beside her, two green spikes were swimming around her like snakes.

"What else?" Rikke reached out and grabbed her weapon. "Don't bother me again, Morse."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Damn it!" Moss pounded the ground angrily, his green eyes full of malice.

Ruiji, you can only be mine. Even if I can't get you, I will destroy you!

 Asking for a monthly ticket!
