High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 63 - 62: Borrowing Another’s Misfortune, the Ultimate Victim
"Hiss..."
Chen Kuang looked at the short line of text in front of him, gasping as he murmured.
"This passive skill is somewhat outrageous."
Terrifying it is, this passive skill can only be described with these four words!
Among the passive skills he had obtained before, perhaps only the combined effects of "Meat Ganoderma" and "See God Not Destroyed" could barely compare.
"If the highest level of passives drawn before was only purple, then this one can be said to be a golden legend!"
Chen Kuang stared intently at the small line of words before his eyes.
If "Refuse to Comply" had a consciousness, it might as well say, "But, I refuse!" at this moment.
"After suffering for so long, finally, something good came!"
This passive only had a short line, but it was concise and potent.
Once refused, it could never happen.
What is this?
This is the Law of Cause and Effect!
If operated correctly, the things that can be realized are countless.
"However, the specific requirements of this passive are unclear, the right of interpretation lies with it, not with me, which is quite troublesome."
Chen Kuang furrowed his brows.
"The permissive nature of ’something’ when refusing others is of great importance."
"For example, if someone wants me dead, and I refuse, what exactly am I refusing? ’Him wanting me dead’ or ’Me dying’?"
"The effects between these two are worlds apart."
However, Chen Kuang was accustomed to expecting the worst, especially in the High Martial World. If this law of causality goes too far, it is possible to be detected...
He figured that since he knew Xi Mengquan had started predicting from ten years ago till now, even thinking about these old monsters gave him the creeps.
If any Upper Three Grades detected his movements here, he believed he might be done right then and there.
"As good as this passive is, it must be used cautiously."
But in the future, Chen Kuang probably couldn’t refuse others so casually either.
Otherwise, if he accidentally refused something he shouldn’t have, it would be too late to regret it...
"But... if that’s the case, if I first refuse one thing and then refuse another opposing thing, might it exploit the bug to return to the original point?"
Chen Kuang had a sudden idea, feeling a bit of an itch.
But soon, the "spur of the moment" alarmed him, causing dizziness and even a slight sense of suffocation.
It was even more unbearable than when he nearly died before.
"Stop, stop, I don’t want to think about it."
Chen Kuang quickly shook his head, discarding the reckless idea from his mind.
He wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
"This is too frightening... it seems the consequences are definitely more than just returning to the starting point."
This passive is indeed a bit terrifying.
Interestingly, despite being such a powerful passive, its refresh condition is rather casual.
Previously, the passives he obtained through life and death seemed mundane in comparison.
Chen Kuang stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Could it be... that doing more bizarre things is the right way to refresh passives?
Next time, he should try more.
Chen Kuang closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a while, consolidating his cultivation level.
Now that the Nine Orifices had opened, the spiritual energy within his meridians was abundant, like having nine water pumps installed, enhancing the effect of the "Fetal Breathing Technique," continuously broadening his meridians as they were washed through. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Faintly, the thick spiritual energy showed signs of condensing and converging.
This was a sign of achieving Innate.
Though he just opened the Nine Orifices, the quality of spiritual energy in his body was already comparable to Innate.
The First Aspect of "Tushita Descends the Heaven" compressed force repeatedly in battle, simultaneously tempering spiritual energy. Truly, it is the Supreme Method.
Chen Kuang felt a subtle emotion.
When breaking out of the Celestial Prison, he needed the effects of Carefree Wine to reach a pseudo-Innate state, and now, in just three days, he had a real pseudo-Innate strength.
Placing the Dragon’s Gums aside, he stepped down from the bed and opened the room’s window, gazing towards the port.
The course of the Tower Ship was slightly deviated.
The place where it docked was still some distance away from the direct water route of Guan Du Port.
The Wind and Rain Pavilion came to pick up the Great Zhou Civilization Official.
"Probably want to resolve this issue directly before the Civilization Official arrives?"
Chen Kuang pondered.
However, for some reason, since the afternoon, the "spur of the moment" intuition grew weaker and, at this point, almost non-existent.
Upon careful investigation of the time point of change.
It seemed to have occurred when he comprehended the tune "Anonymous," his Divine Sense expanding, seeing the scenes on the Tower Ship.
Two events occurred then.
One was the conclusion of the conversation between Lin Er You and Di Wu, with the two parting ways.
The other was Zhou Yanwei vaguely showing a desire to help Chen Kuang.
"Lin Er You..."
Chen Kuang closed his eyes, carefully recalling the scene of their conversation.
"If we had met earlier, Fellow Daoist Ruogu and I would surely have been great friends."
"Now is still not too late."
"Indeed, it’s not too late..."
He was speaking the truth, genuinely considering Chen Kuang as a friend.
Could it be that, for him, friends were just commodities to be sold?
From his brief interaction, Chen Kuang didn’t find Lin Er You to be such a person.
The two Music Saint’s Legacy scores were the best evidence.
If he truly acted out of self-interest, those incredibly valuable scores should never have been given to Chen Kuang.
If it was to stall for time, he could have mentioned handing them over after disembarking, which would have added unnecessary risk.
This simple trick of painting a cake, Lin Er You would surely know.
Wait a minute...
Chen Kuang remembered vaguely overhearing the tail end of a conversation between Lin Er You and Di Wu.
What was it again?
Chen Kuang calmed down his mind, recalling carefully.
The dialogue gradually became clear in his memory.
"Are you sure it’s that person?"
"Nine out of ten."
Nine out of ten... This statement was a lie!
Chen Kuang suddenly froze.
He twitched his mouth.
A lie?
Lin Er You was fully aware, yet he pointed out a false bounty target to Di Wu?
The question is, whom did he identify?
There were only three men on the ship who were suspicious: Chen Kuang, Qi Sibai, Zhou Yanwei.
Chen Kuang himself was real, so naturally eliminated.
Qi Sibai was renowned, not easy to impersonate.
While Zhou Yanwei... His cultivation was not high, he wasn’t well-known, and coincidentally, he was in the Sea Breaking Realm.
The author of Cang Lang’s commentaries just happened, by some misfortune, to assume "Chen Kuang" was in the Sea Breaking Realm!
Chen Kuang’s expression turned incredibly strange.
"Although these people have known each other for over a month, yet this Tower Ship was only rented by Wind and Rain Pavilion in the past few days, Di Wu didn’t know..."
Chen Kuang looked speechless at the sky, the moon in the sky equally silent.
"Could it... really be this ridiculous?"
Why are there so many cunning old schemers with nasty intentions in this world?
Can’t there be a bit more honesty?
"But, why on earth would Lin Er You help me?"
Chen Kuang blinked, puzzled.
Simply a fleeting acquaintance doesn’t seem to justify it... it feels like this person was targeting Zhou Yanwei from the start.
...
The next morning, the Tower Ship slowly approached the shore.
A few people gathered on the deck, enjoying the fresh morning breeze.
Below the Tower Ship, people from the Wind and Rain Pavilion stood silently in the corridor, blocking all paths leading down from the upper level.
Di Wu stepped out from his cabin, looking upward, his gaze as sharp as lightning.
A chilling aura suddenly arose.
Behind Zhou Yanwei was his elderly attendant. Seeing Chen Kuang approach with his instrument, Zhou Yanwei’s gaze suddenly firmed up as he stepped forward.
He patted Chen Kuang on the shoulder, speaking earnestly:
"Fellow Daoist Ruogu, do you remember what I said yesterday?"
"Many people are unwilling to mind certain trifles, either because their hearts lack benevolence and righteousness, or because they have no strength to back them up."
"But there are always some people who choose to stand against the world’s indifference."
Chen Kuang twitched his lips, looking at his sincere eyes, words sitting on the tip of his tongue.
What a big-hearted fool...
The "spur of the moment" passive had completely stopped responding, and he was now sure of his own thoughts.
Eventually, after a moment of thought, he patted Zhou Yanwei on the shoulder in return, speaking earnestly:
"There are indeed many good people in this world."
Chen Kuang said earnestly: "Brother Yanwei, should you encounter difficulties in the future, I will definitely not hesitate to help!"
