Can You Stop Calling Me Little Lecher

?

"Fairy Sister, what is going on!?"

Ning Fan exclaimed in shock.

What exactly was going on with this Hundredth Spirit Mark!?

"..."

At this moment, Ye Honglian paid Ning Fan no mind. Instead, she stared blankly at her own exposed skin.

Compared to before, the Spirit Marks on her body had become much denser.

She had actually reached Ning Fan's previous level.

That was-

Ninety-nine marks, Perfection!!

"L-Little Lecher!"

"I've reached Perfection!"

Ye Honglian spoke excitedly.

"Hiss-"

Ning Fan's face turned pale as he sucked in a cold breath. From the sudden tightness, he could feel just how excited Ye Honglian was at this moment.

"S-Sorry."

Ye Honglian stuck out her tongue, then murmured to herself with a sharp gleam in her eyes.

"Perfection... I never thought that one day I could once again bring the Spirit Marks on my skin to Perfection. This way, even Lingjiu Fairy won't be able to suppress me in terms of Spirit Marks. I'll have more confidence in the struggle for the Emperor Realm."

"As long as it helps you, Fairy Sister."

Ning Fan felt genuinely happy for Ye Honglian. To him, Ye Honglian might become his wife, but she was also a friend, a mentor, and a Fated Chance in herself.

If she benefited, Ning Fan was equally delighted.

"Little Lecher."

"Thank you."

Ye Honglian turned her head, her gaze clear of any complicated emotions, purely expressing her gratitude to Ning Fan.

Thanks to Ning Fan.

Her Tianxuan Heart Sutra had broken through, and now even her Spirit Marks had reached Perfection. Such a Fated Chance was extremely rare even for her.

With this kind of Fated Chance supporting her, she undoubtedly had a few more points of confidence in competing for the position of Holy Maiden of the Tianxuan Holy Land!!

"Well, since you're thanking me, can you stop calling me Little Lecher?"

"Ning Fan!"

"My name is Ning Fan. You can call me husband, too."

Ning Fan grinned.

"Hmph."

In response to Ning Fan pushing his luck, Ye Honglian simply gave a light snort. She turned her head, once again presenting her back to him.

"First get out of my body, then we can talk about not calling you Little Lecher."

Ning Fan: "..."

Ning Fan: "..."

What savage, shameless words!!

"Right, Fairy Sister, what exactly is going on with the Spirit Marks on my body? Didn't you say that ninety-nine Spirit Marks was the Perfection of the Spirit Marrow Saint-Piercing Method? Now there's an extra Spirit Mark on my skin-I have a hundred Spirit Marks!!"

Ning Fan asked for the third time.

Previously, Ye Honglian had been too focused on the changes in her own Spirit Marks to notice anything else. Now, she finally caught sight of the extra golden Spirit Mark on Ning Fan's body.

She pondered for a moment before speaking.

"That's right. Ninety-nine marks is indeed the Perfection of the Spirit Marrow Saint-Piercing Method in the Yellow Extreme Realm. As for this Hundredth Spirit Mark of yours..."

"It should be Grand Perfection."

Ning Fan: "..."

Hearing this, the corner of Ning Fan's mouth twitched.

Perfection, Grand Perfection.

"Then is there a Heaven Perfection, a God Perfection, or a Divine Grand Perfection?!"

With that thought in mind, Ning Fan blurted it out.

"Possibly."

"After all, this vast world is full of wonders. Anything is possible."

Ye Honglian spoke with utter seriousness.

But before Ning Fan could roast her for it, Ye Honglian continued.

"However, based on my understanding, there shouldn't be any more Spirit Marks appearing. Ninety-nine Spirit Marks is definitively the Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm. It's impossible for more Spirit Marks to appear on your body. But this hundredth golden Spirit Mark is different."

"It is not actually a new Spirit Mark, but rather a thread that links the ninety-nine Spirit Marks on your body."

"One of its functions..."

"...is to seamlessly connect all the Spirit Marks on your skin, linking them together into a unified, flawless whole."

Ye Honglian explained.

"Mmm..."

Ning Fan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

That was right.

What Ye Honglian said was true. This final golden Spirit Mark did not directly strengthen Ning Fan. He didn't feel the subjective surge in power that came with obtaining a new Spirit Mark, yet he did sense that the Spirit Marks all over his body had become seamlessly integrated, acting as a single entity.

But...

What use was this??

Ning Fan wondered curiously.

The next moment.

The radiance in the sky continued to surge, and a pattern manifested in the heavens. Emitting a golden glow, the pattern descended toward Ning Fan and Ye Honglian.

"This is..."

Ning Fan exclaimed in surprise.

He had seen this pattern before-it was the exact same diagram that had appeared on the phantom figure.

When the diagram stopped right in front of Ning Fan, a faint, intangible resonance formed between him and the pattern.

The next moment.

Ning Fan suddenly sensed the Spirit Marks on his skin moving. The first to move was the golden Spirit Mark. It twisted and warped, forming a winding curve-a curve that matched a line on the diagram before him. It acted as the skeletal foundation for the entire pattern. Immediately after, the rest of the Spirit Marks began to fall into formation.

With the golden Spirit Mark as the core, they constructed a complete array of lines across Ning Fan's skin.

Only then did Ning Fan carefully recognize what it was.

-It was a Black Tortoise Diagram!!!

"..."

Ning Fan felt that although the Spirit Marks were still the exact same marks, after they formed the Black Tortoise Diagram, the increase in his body's resilience was astronomical.

His physical toughness had multiplied several times over!!!

"This is what is known as a 'Method'."

Ye Honglian spoke.

"If the same amount of spiritual energy is blasted out directly, its power might only be enough to shatter rocks. But if it is unleashed in the form of a martial skill, it might be able to split mountains and part seas."

"Likewise, if the same Spirit Marks are scattered chaotically across your body, they only provide the most basic enhancement. But if the Spirit Marks form a 'Method,' they can display a vastly superior might. It seems that golden line was the key to your Spirit Marks forming a 'Method'."

Ye Honglian spoke, her voice laced with deep envy.

Her Spirit Marks had only just reached Perfection at ninety-nine marks, but Ning Fan had already manifested a golden Spirit Mark and even formed a Method out of them.

Sigh.

When comparing talent, some comparisons were just maddening.

But Ye Honglian also firmly believed something else.

By continuing to 'cultivate'-that is, to keep unearthing the Fated Chances within the ancient jade-she would continue to improve step by step alongside the young man before her.

Until she reached a profound height that even she could scarcely imagine.

"To a certain extent, you can be considered to possess a Combat Constitution now."

Ye Honglian said.

"Huh? Combat Constitution?"

Ning Fan was taken aback.

He did know about so-called 'Combat Constitutions.' Zhao Qi possessed a first-rank constitution known as the Steel Bone Body.

Relying on the Steel Bone Body, Zhao Qi's physique was exceptionally tough, allowing him to learn specific cultivation methods and amplify their power.

But weren't Combat Constitutions something you were born with?

Could the diagram on his body really be called a Combat Constitution!?

"Little Lecher."

"The powers in this world come in all sorts of strange forms, but you must look through to their essence. Spirit Marks fundamentally enhance your physique, and that remains true even now that they've formed the Black Tortoise Diagram. By possessing the Black Tortoise Diagram, your body's resilience has been drastically amplified."

"This power does not require spiritual energy to maintain, and it will never disappear. It is a fundamental transformation of your bones and foundation."

"How is that any different from a Combat Constitution?"

"..."

Hearing her reasoning, Ning Fan couldn't help but nod slowly.

She was right.

Now that his Spirit Marks had transformed into the Black Tortoise Diagram, he truly did possess something equivalent to a Combat Constitution.

"Fairy Sister, with your insight, what rank of Combat Constitution would my Black Tortoise Diagram be equivalent to?"

Ning Fan asked excitedly.

"Mmm..."

Ye Honglian furrowed her brows in thought.

After a long moment.

She gave her judgment.

"Disregarding the base enhancement from the Spirit Marks themselves, just the boost the Black Tortoise Diagram provides to your body is basically equivalent to possessing a third-rank Combat Constitution!"

"Third-rank..."

Ning Fan muttered.

To be honest.

He was a little dissatisfied.

Ever since he learned about Combat Constitutions from Zhao Qi, Ning Fan had done some research. Combat Constitutions were divided into nine ranks.

Above the nine ranks were the Saint ranks.

A third-rank Combat Constitution really wasn't all that impressive in the grand scheme of things.

"Little Lecher, do not sell yourself short."

Ye Honglian seemed to see right through his thoughts and corrected him sternly.

"The Black Tortoise Diagram on your body is a 'Method' derived from Spirit Marks. I am certain that if Spirit Marks can derive one 'Method,' they can derive a second 'Method.' Your Black Tortoise Diagram is merely the beginning. If you continue to improve it, its future Potential will be limitless."

"Oh..."

Ning Fan nodded, half-understanding.

Potential...

She was right.

The Spirit Marrow Saint-Piercing Method was an ancient secret technique. Whatever it derived would absolutely not be ordinary!!

One should not obsess over their strength or weakness at a single moment in time.

"Eh, Fairy Sister."

"Look!"

Ning Fan snapped out of his thoughts. He raised his hand, pointing at an empty space ahead of the arena. There was originally some space between the arenas, but now, the gap between the one beneath Ning Fan's feet and the next arena was unusually large-several times the normal distance.

Initially, Ning Fan had assumed the widened gap simply signaled the start of a new stage.

But now.

That empty stretch of ground began to flicker with light. The glow was warm and mellow, bearing the luster of smooth jade. Looking closely...

The light was actually weaving together to form a unique Formation...

It looked extremely strange.

"That is... a Spirit-Evolving Formation."

Ye Honglian said.

"A Spirit-Evolving Formation?"

Ning Fan murmured, repeating the name.

This...

Just what kind of thing was this?
