1926: Guinea Pig (3)

Guinea Pig (3)

Shen Yanxiao would never dare to let any undead study her. If they found out, she would never leave the Howling Abyss alive.1

The divine power in her body was enough for the undeads to kill her a hundred times over.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, but I think you should forget it." Shen Yanxiao rejected.

"You don't want to?" The dean was surprised by Shen Yanxiao's answer. After removing the power that was suppressing Shen Yanxiao's death energy, she could recover her identity as a purebred undead, obtain powerful strength, and also obtain the respect of other undeads. Shen Yanxiao had no reason to refuse such a beneficial thing.

"Yes." Shen Yanxiao nodded.

"Can you tell me the reason?" The dean asked.

Shen Yanxiao said, "As you and Mentor Kehr said, the death energy in my body is very thin, but it is precisely because of this that I will work hard to train in physical skills to ensure that I can still protect my feeble life. But if I recover my death energy, I think my dependence on death energy will gradually replace my dependence on physical skills. However, I don't intend to give up on physical skills. I am still learning the few secret books Mentor Kehr sent me, and the lack of death energy will make me more attentive when studying those books."

Shen Yanxiao spoke righteously, but a crafty hint of a smile flashed past her eyes.

She knew very well that the reason why the dean and Kehr valued her was because she was one of the few undeads who was good at physical skills. Therefore, she used the excuse of concentrating on practicing physical skills to reject their proposal. If they wanted her physical skills, they had to think carefully.

Sure enough, Shen Yanxiao's words made the dean and Kehr fall into deep thought.

They were all powerful undeads, so they naturally knew how much death energy affected them. At the same time, they also knew that an undead with a powerful death energy did not have much energy nor time to study physical skills. No matter the study, one needed to be single-minded and 100% focused to achieve something. However, once death energy occupied a large proportion of one's strength, they were bound to have a psychological bias.

Physical skills could not be learned overnight, but death energy was innate to undeads. Who would continue to waste their time on boring physical skills?

Evidently, the dean and Kehr had jumped into the trap Shen Yanxiao had dug up. Their thoughts had been led by the nose by Shen Yanxiao.

As the Demon Lord who dominated the entire Brilliance Continent, Shen Yanxiao's ability to fool people was superb. Even the rulers of the four countries had been fooled by her, not to mention Kehr and the dean.

"Since you insist, I will no longer force you." The dean finally gave up his previous plan. Compared with another purebred undead, what he needed more was a mentor who specialized in physical skills.

"Dean, don't worry. I will not give up on improving my death energy, but I will put most of my time into my physical skills. The dark nuclei that Mentor Kehr sent me are enough for me. Although the speed of my improvement is not fast, it is just right for me right now. It will not affect my training in physical skills," Shen Yanxiao smiled and said. It was one thing to ask the dean to dispel the idea of studying her, but it was another thing to continue extorting Kehr's dark nuclei. She still wanted to improve her strength, so she could not let go of such a good supply.

"You can study physical skills in peace. Leave the problem of dark nuclei to me. I won't let you be short of them." Kehr promised with a smile.
