Chapter 58: 【Lineage Severed! Purple】A Single Kick Produces a Purple Trait!
Su Qingwu hurriedly stepped in front of Xiao Xuan.
At this point, she had already assumed Gu Xuan was a woman.
The moment those words were spoken, Gu Xuan looked as though he had been struck by lightning.
The way he looked at Xiao Xuan was filled with grievance and wounded resentment.
“So I’ve already become that hateful to you, my dear Xiao? If that is the case, then I shall take my own life here. There is no need for my dear Xiao to dirty his hands!”
As he spoke, Gu Xuan raised the sword in his hand and moved to slit his own throat.
“Stop!!”
Su Qingwu hurriedly grabbed the edge of the blade.
Fortunately, her hand was protected, so she was not injured.
“Even if Xiao Xuan doesn’t like you, there’s no need to kill yourself! And Xiao Xuan, Miss Gu Xuan is this beautiful. Even if you don’t like her, that doesn’t mean you should keep hitting her over and over, let alone try to kill her!”
Su Qingwu looked at Xiao Xuan with obvious dissatisfaction.
“It’s fine. I wanted it.”
Meanwhile, Gu Xuan looked at Xiao Xuan with eyes full of infatuation.
Seeing that, Xiao Xuan’s face darkened instantly.
“Gu Xuan, damn it, tell Su Qingwu whether you’re a man or a woman!”
Xiao Xuan looked at Gu Xuan speechlessly.
The moment Gu Xuan heard that, a shy expression immediately appeared on his face.
“I-I’m a boy...”
Gu Xuan said bashfully.
The instant those words came out, Su Qingwu’s eyes flew wide open, and a chill ran through her entire body.
“This brat cultivated a modified version of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, so his hormones went haywire and turned him into... this. Once he reaches major completion later, he’ll go back to normal.”
Xiao Xuan explained helplessly.
Only after hearing that did Su Qingwu finally let go in a rush.
“My apologies. I meddled where I shouldn’t have. If you want to die, then hurry up and do it.”
After saying that, Su Qingwu pulled out a bottle of water from who knew where and frantically began washing her hands,
as though she were afraid of being contaminated.
“You know me that well, my dear Xiao? Could it be that you’ve liked me for a long time and secretly looked into me?”
At that, Gu Xuan’s eyes lit up.
HUM!!!
Suddenly, a powerful telekinetic force locked Gu Xuan in place, making him unable to move.
Gu Xuan was dumbfounded. He had no idea what was happening. He struggled with all his strength, yet still could not break free.
“I can cure your condition, so just cooperate.”
At that moment, Xiao Xuan’s voice rang out.
Before Gu Xuan could react, Xiao Xuan had already lashed out with a Lineage-Severing Kick, striking the target dead on.
“AAAAAH!!!”
In the next instant, a bloodcurdling scream echoed through the entire valley.
Gu Xuan trembled in agony.
At the same time, one trait after another began falling from his body.
【Pain! Purple】
【Severely Wounded! Purple】
【Lineage Severed! Purple】
There were three traits in all.
And their grades were not low, either.
But after those traits fell, Xiao Xuan noticed something.
Gu Xuan’s original traits were still there. These three had simply been added on top of them.
Xiao Xuan immediately stroked his chin.
“Earlier, I was able to take off my own traits and recycle them. So can I directly snatch traits from other people and forcibly recycle them?”
The thought suddenly occurred to him.
Out of curiosity, he used his soul power to grab at the traits above Gu Xuan’s head.
Sure enough, his Telekinesis made contact with them.
However, the Purple traits were one thing. If he exerted himself, he could make them sway, but he still could not tear them free.
It was as though some immensely powerful force were pulling against him.
But the Silver trait was as heavy as a mountain.
It did not budge in the slightest.
Xiao Xuan wasted no time. He walked over directly and grabbed one of the traits, 【Severely Wounded! Purple】.
Then he gave it a violent yank.
The trait was pulled straight off and ended up in Xiao Xuan’s hand.
“There really is a resisting force. It’s roughly on par with Gu Xuan’s full strength. And on top of that, when I try to move a trait with Telekinesis, its weight becomes absurdly great. No wonder I couldn’t pull it down with Telekinesis alone.”
That means if I want to forcibly seize someone else’s traits, my strength has to completely overwhelm theirs?
So it won’t work against people stronger than me. Still, that’s not a major problem.
“With this kind of targeted trait-snatching, there’d be no need to injure the target at all.”
In that instant, thoughts raced wildly through Xiao Xuan’s mind.
Then he reached out and collected all the negative traits produced by that kick.
At the same time, he also seized the trait that had turned Gu Xuan into a woman and ripped that off as well.
【Congratulations, you recycled the trait: 【Feminization! Silver】. Eco Points gained: 25 million!】
A system notification rang out immediately.
That Feminization trait had actually yielded 25 million Eco Points when recycled!
Even Xiao Xuan could not help feeling shocked. No wonder a genius as powerful as Gu Xuan had been unable to resist that trait.
The other traits combined had also yielded more than two million.
That was not bad at all.
At the same time, Gu Xuan discovered that the pain below his waist was rapidly fading.
For some reason, he could even sense that the testicles which had just been crushed were rapidly repairing themselves.
More than that, however, his masculine disposition was gradually reawakening.
His face flushed redder and redder, and his expression became more and more twisted.
What exactly had he been doing during this period?
HUM!!!
Very soon, the restraint on Gu Xuan was released.
“I’ve already solved your problem. Stop practicing that Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. I’ve already sent you a seventh-tier sword art.”
Looking at the completely shattered Gu Xuan, Xiao Xuan casually sent him a folder.
Gu Xuan’s friend request had been pending for several days. Xiao Xuan had only just accepted it now.
When Gu Xuan heard Xiao Xuan’s words, he was stunned.
“Brother... Brother Xiao, I disgusted you that much, and you’re still helping me like this?”
Gu Xuan looked at Xiao Xuan in shock.
If this had been the feminized Gu Xuan from before, he probably would have assumed Xiao Xuan had fallen for him.
“You and I both came up from the bottom. It wasn’t easy for either of us to get where we are. If it weren’t for desperation, who would cultivate a sword art like that?”
Xiao Xuan looked at Gu Xuan and smiled.
Even in the future, after Gu Xuan had become a Martial God, he was still Xiao Xuan’s closest friend.
The two of them had gone on expeditions together many times, and Gu Xuan had saved Xiao Xuan’s life more than once.
He was someone worth befriending deeply.
The reason he had cultivated that Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was very simple.
He had no money.
Gu Xuan came from a poor family. In order to rise above his station, he had no choice but to cultivate one of those free arts posted online, the kind with extreme side effects.
Fortunately, it had at least been modified, so the side effects were somewhat milder. Otherwise, if he had truly been castrated, Xiao Xuan had no idea whether it would have grown back after the trait was recycled.
At those words, Gu Xuan fell completely silent.
He looked at Xiao Xuan.
In the end, he bowed deeply and solemnly to him.
“From this day forward, Brother Xiao, you are a brother to me for life. From now on, I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation for you!”
Gu Xuan spoke with complete sincerity.
“I’ll remember those words. All right, it’s time to deal with the real menace. He should be here soon.”
Xiao Xuan spoke calmly.
In the next instant, his gaze shot toward the foot of the mountain not far away.
Gu Xuan and Su Qingwu were both stunned.
The real menace?
The two of them immediately looked in the same direction.
In the next moment, they saw a young man with terror written all over his face being frantically pursued by a mass of black mist.
