Pink…

 Charms…

 Zhou Yang was alarmed at the changes in his body.

 At the thought that he would be using charm on others, he could not stifle the feeling of nausea. Why would a Soul Legacy turn out to be so indecent?

No!

 That was impossible!

 He had just accepted the legacy and he remembered there was nothing like this!

 He remembered very clearly that in the Phantom Legacy, every ability that he saw was powerful and they were killing techniques…

This was a proper legacy!

 At this very moment…

 Bang!

Zhou Yang's mind felt as if it was bursting.

 The memories of the legacy flooded his mind.

 Phantom…

 Did you know what a Phantom is?

 Pink was merely a deception.

 Everyone thought that Phantom was to be charming… This was the biggest mistake. Charm was always just a cover for the Phantom, an optional ability…

 The real ability of the Phantom…

 Was slaughtering!

 It was strangulation!

 Bang!

The memories flooded in.

 An ancient beast appeared. It had extraordinary strength and it could hack a mountain with one hand. Right then, a figure appeared looming like the shadow. It wrapped around the beast, tightened the hold on the beast and strangled it to death!

 Bang!

Another scene appeared.

 An ancient monster was being strangled to death!

 Bang!

Another scene appeared.

 A powerful human appeared, he waved his hands and heaven and Earth shook. He had amazing strength!

 However…

 The Phantom appeared.

 The human was being encircled by the figure and it strangled and killed him instantly!

 This…

 This was the real legacy of the Phantom!

 It was like serpents.

 It was like demons.

 It used to be…

 A legacy that was exclusive to women.

 Because women were feminine and were gentle and soft. The personality of women would be a better match. The mind, body, and thoughts would be combined together to achieve success!

 However…

 Gradually…

 The more powerful one was, the more one felt that one was less capable than desirable.

The Energy Warrior, the Demon Warrior, the Defender, and even the Swordsman would have extraordinary physical fitness when they were at more advanced levels. The Phantom could not kill them instantly through strangulation!

 Yes.

 The Phantom was dependent on strangulation! Killing enemies instantly!

 However, the advanced stages of various vocations were so powerful that it was impossible to strangle them. They could only strangle the weaker vocations…

 However…

 In this regard, an a.s.sa.s.sin was more proficient and professional than they were!

 Hence…

 The Phantom waned…

 This was because they lacked strength.

 It was an all-women vocation…

 A vocation that majored in femininity and flexibility and was lacking in strength. It was useless even if they tempered energy!

 Until one day.

 A cultivator stumbled upon this vocation…

 He had a sudden idea. If he combined the femininity of women and the strength of men… and so a powerful vocation was born…

 This was the beginning of Phantom.

 From that day on, this vocation was called Phantom.

 Because…

 The name of the person was Phantom.

 He had a figure like a serpent, and like women, he was soft as water, yet he had immense strength like a man. He could easily strangle any enemy!

 He could kill cultivators on the same level!

 He could skip levels and kill other cultivators as well!

 He was invincible!

 He trapped the enemies with his femininity and killed them with force through strangulation!

 This was Phantom.

 As for the serpent…

 It was the totem of the Phantom!

 Swoos.h.!.+

 The memories of the legacy flooded.

 The memories that did not appear due to the interruption of energy were completed as well, Zhou Yang finally realized the significance and power of the Phantom itself!

 It did not belong to any vocation!

 But yet it belonged to all vocations!

 For example—

 His vocation!

 He was a Spearman. Once he unleashed his spear, it would be ever domineering!

 And now…

 After accepting the Phantom Legacy, he still retained his original vocation. Therefore, he could still wield his spear and release his abilities, but he understood the significance of the Phantom…

 This was the Phantom Legacy!

 It turned out that…

 This was Phantom?!

 Bang!

Zhou Yang raised his hand and his spear went shooting out.

 Swoos.h.!.+

 Swoos.h.!.+

 Cold lights burst.

 After receiving the Phantom Legacy, his energy level had been significantly increased!

 Due to the substantial increase in his flexibility, the strokes that he could not use agilely in the past could be easily displayed now!

 His combat effectiveness… Had increased dramatically!

 And this…

 This was still not considered as the final attack of the Phantom which was strangulation!

 It could be said that…

 With the Phantom legacy, Zhou Yang had transformed and improved significantly in terms of combat effectiveness and his future potential. Very soon, he would become a genius!!!

 The only problem right now was…

 Why did he feel that something was missing down there?!

 Perhaps it had been leveled due to the vocation characteristics of the Phantom?

 Zhou Yang was silent for a long time…

 In the end…

 He raised his head.

 Alright.

 What happened between men and women was nothing fancy!

 He was already beyond that!

 So what if it was gone.

 Anyway…

 It was spoiled a long time ago.

 Whoosh—

 Zhou Yang took a deep breath. He had accepted it faster than he imagined.

 Hehe.

 Those affairs meant nothing to him!

 Right now, he had endless potential and he had received the legacy. He had more important things to do. Those d.a.m.n enemies and those relatives who seemed to ‘care' for him…

 Hehe.

 He would get them!

 He would go after them…

 Just as what the legacy said…

 This…

 This would be his era!

 This place was deliberately left to be his battlefield. These stupid cultivators would be the cannon fodder to sharpen and hone his skills.

 Phantom's Final Attack…

 Zhou Yang recalled everything he had learned in the legacy.

 Use softness to trap the enemy.

 Use strength to strangle them.

 The secret tips were the profound meaning behind the final attack!

Bang!

Zhou Yang ground his long spear into the ground as he tried to release the Phantom's Final Attack. Right then, he could feel energy surging inside him.

 Behind him.

 A powerful figure appeared…

 It was like serpents.

 It was like demons.

 Zhou Yang used the spear as his target.

 Right then…

 He felt as if he had turned into a serpent, spiraling up… he wrapped tightly around the spear, trapping it… this was using softness to trap the enemy!

 After trapping the enemy, he could kill anytime…

 It turned out that…

 This was the Phantom's Final Attack.

 After releasing it, Zhou Yang had a deeper understanding of it.

 At this very moment…

 A few cultivators found the place.

 They turned the corner and happened to see Zhou Yang who was practicing the Phantom's Final Attack. The few of them took a closer look and were dumbstruck.

 c.r.a.p!

 What's up with this guy?

 Why was he doing pole dancing on the long spear in the middle of the night?

 d.a.m.n! What was this about?

 Shus.h.!.+

 The few of them looked toward one teammate. “I didn't know that you could use the weapon of the Spearman like that.”

 “I-I had no idea as well.”

 The Spearman was dumbstruck, turning angry the next second.

 d.a.m.n it!

 It was due to these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds that the reputation of the Spearman vocation was ruined!

 These days, it was very common to ruin a vocation because of a d.a.m.n idiot!

 The Beast Tamer, the top hidden vocation of the Summoner was once popular. However, it caused a huge sensation due to the “Human and Beasts Scandal”, it was ridiculed by many others and it marked the decline of the vocation.

All the other Beast Tamers who had achieved significant success could not bear the mockery and changed vocations.

 But now…

 If others saw this guy doing pole dancing…

 Think about it.

 In the future, the first thing that others would say when they met a Spearman would be that they heard that a Spearman could… hahaha…

 No one could stand it!

 He had to be killed!

 To h.e.l.l with the pole dancing!

 Bang!

 He released the spear and dashed forward.

 At this very moment…

 Zhou Yang was still reminiscing the profound meaning of the Phantom's Final Attack.

Now that an enemy suddenly appeared in front of him, he subconsciously cast the Phantom's Final Attack. His figure turned soft, wrapping around the man like a line…

 His soft figure surrounded the other party.

 “What are you doing?!”

 The man looked alarmed.

 He watched as Zhou Yang deftly avoided the spear and wrapped himself around him. He panicked instantly. He was a 1.93-meter tall strong man, but he was so scared that he kept retreating…

 “G-get lost!”

 “I am straight!”

 However…

 Zhou Yang ignored him.

 Once he locked in on his target, he twirled around him, closely attaching himself to the other party.

 Afterward…

He activated the ‘kill' operation.

 Click!

 The soft body suddenly turned strong and powerful.

 Zhou Yang's figure that was soft and gentle turned into a strengthened body with immense power. His body seemed to be made of hard metal and he strangled the cultivator to death!

Pfft!

 His liver burst.

 “Let's go!”

 “Let's go!”

 The other cultivators who were watching by the side panicked.

 They were well aware of the abilities of their companion. He was a five-star cultivator but he was strangled to death instantly. The other party must be…

 Flee!

 Flee!

 Their scalps felt numb and they ran for their lives.

 However…

 It was too late.

 Swoos.h.!.+

 Swoos.h.!.+

 Zhou Yang drifted over and twirled around them.

 Pfft!

 Pfft!

 There was a crisp sound and no one was left alive!

 Right then…

 Zhou Yang sensed that the power of his Phantom abilities had increased.

 As he was more and more familiarized with the Phantom abilities and the execution became more seamless, its power kept increasing. Towards the end, he could even integrate his mental strength, essence, energy, and spirit to achieve a full integration!

By then…

 Very few people would be able to withstand his attacks!

 Six-star?

 Seven-star?

 Eight-star?

 It was ludicrous!

 As long as he continued strangling them…

 There would be a day where he would be invincible!

 It turned out that…

 This was the power of the Phantom?

 Zhou Yang was intoxicated with its power.

 Right now…

 The legacy had left the best cannon fodder for him.

 Come on!

Cannon fodder!

 Zhou Yang's lips curled into a sinister and cold smile.

 Swoos.h.!.+

 He retracted the spear.

 Steps by steps, he walked into the college.

 At this very moment…

 The cultivators in the college were still searching for the spirit body.

 “I wonder where the spirit body is?”

 “Humph! I will not miss it this time.”

 The cultivators were excited.

 They searched every corner of the college, detecting the possibility of the emergence of the spirit body. However, no one knew that right then a figure slowly appeared…

 Whoos.h.!.+

 A serpent-like figure wrapped around one of the cultivators.

 Pfft!

 Blood splattered.

 One, two, three…

 There were bodies everywhere.

 The cultivators quickly realized that something was wrong.

 Other than the four-star cultivators, the five-star cultivators were wiped out as well. This was very shocking to them.

 However, when they saw the bodies of those who died, they were suddenly excited. The manner in which they were killed was very similar to the previous time!

 They had seen this killing method of strangling people to death before!

The other day.

 They had seen such ability in the building. They did not expect that the mysterious living creature in the field would have this ability as well!

 In that case…

 “The python! It must be the python!”

 “It seemed that there are two pythons in Qing Ming City!”

 The cultivators were excited.

 “I think I saw a soft and feminine serpent just now.”

 One man suddenly recalled the strange aura just now.

 “I was in the far distance when the man died and there was a serpent-like figure that strangled the man to death,” another man said.

 It was to the extent that…

 Someone stared at the aura surrounding the body intently. “The aura was strange. It was feminine. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a female snake…”

 True enough.

 Everyone was excited.

 The python previously was a male and the snake right now was a female!

 A male and a female…

 Furthermore…

 According to their experience of catching the spirit bodies, there might be small snakes or a nest of spirit bodies… In that case, they would have many returns!

 “Don't be too happy. You must bear in mind that it is very powerful.

 This snake… It might be a real six-star!” One of them warned.

 Everyone looked grim.

 The cultivators that were dead had carried spirit defense equipment with them. Although they had no idea why these did not help in fending off the spirit bodies, it was apparent that the python was very powerful!

 If they scattered, they might end up dead like the cultivators that were left dead on the ground.

 “Let's join our forces.”

 The cultivators looked at each other.

 “Sure!”

 With the previous experience in mind, they decided right away to join forces.

 The target—

 Was a female snake spirit body that was on the run!

 Very soon…

 News that there was a six-star female snake spirit body circulated very quickly.

Qing Ming City was once again the center of the topic.

 Many cultivators came rus.h.i.+ng to the technical college at the crossroad, especially those who did not manage to catch the spirit body last time. They were thrilled at the news.

 This was a real six-star spirit body!

 Over here.

 It was turbulent once again in Qing Ming City.

 Somewhere.

 A young man looked dazed at the powerful auras that kept emerging in Qing Ming City.

 To h.e.l.l with it!

 To h.e.l.l with the female snake in Qing Ming City.

 He carefully looked at the table of events that his master had deduced. He looked at the happenings these two days very seriously to confirm that there was nothing on the data…

 But, look at the outcome!

 A female snake spirit body had appeared!

 And it was a six-star!

 He had missed it as he had absolute trust in his master!

 It was a fraud!

 “It seems that… Master, you have made a mistake in your deduction again…”

 At this very moment…

 Somewhere.

 A Scout knelt on the ground, with beads of perspiration on his forehead.

 “Come. Explain to me, what is with this female snake?”

 The man in black who was the leader asked gently.

 “I-I have no idea as well.”

 “You don't know?”

 The time, place, type of the spirit body that appeared would affect our plan. Now you are telling me you don't know!?

 Since you are a Scout, your vocation is to antic.i.p.ate and foresee what will happen. Yet you are telling me you don't know?!”

 The man in black was furious.

 “I-I really have no idea.”

 The Scout was at a loss. “T-there shouldn't be a female snake…”

 Cras.h.!.+

 The black in man kicked him.

 “T-there shouldn't be?!

 How dare you tell me there shouldn't be?!

 So many spirit body hunters had appeared and so many of them have seen the spirit body and yet you tell me there shouldn't be one?”

 The man in black was enraged.

 “I-I…”

 The Scout was in a daze.

 It was true.

 He still did not know what was going on…

 He was being dragged here for no reason and he was told that there was a spirit body in Qing Ming City again. But he had clearly made the calculations that there should not be any spirit body now!

 Where did the d.a.m.n female snake come from?!

 d.a.m.n it!

 Could it be that this was done by a ‘Scout' that was more powerful than him?

 In that case…

 He looked grim.

 “Change the plan now!”

 The man in black snapped.

 “Yes!”

 He wiped his perspiration and left hurriedly.

 Over there…

 In his room.

 Hundreds of screens suspended in the air, a fine compa.s.s was among them, countless pieces of information were being deduced. This seemed like a mysterious little world…

 Hundreds of cultivators were busy helping him deduce and calculate. There were hundreds of computers in the distance, operating non-stop.

This was his method of scouting and getting to know information before the rest.

 The so-called scouting was not about the time, but more like calculation…

Deduction!

 The stronger the Scout and the less interference there was in the deduction, the higher the success rate! And with his current abilities, there should be no problem in making a deduction about Qing Ming City…

 Buzz—

 Buzz—

 Screens suspended.

 There was a figure on the upper right corner that said that the success rate of the deduction was 99.9%!

 “So… Is this the 0.1%?”

 He pondered for a moment.

 It seemed that…

 There was a stronger Scout…

 In that case…

The plan had to be amended.

 The spirit body was the crux of their plans and was the basis on which they deduced the entire structure. If there was any error with the spirit body, there would be errors in all the deductions, so…

 It had to be corrected!

 Hence…

 He made records diligently: In the wee hours of this morning, a six-star female python had appeared. The deduction had to be restarted!
