Chapter 269: Chapter 234: Fortune-Telling Skill: Su Ze Has a Bloody Calamity

The version of the trial Su Ze recounted on the plane had actually omitted many key details.

For instance, the Tier Six extract he had obtained, the fact that Xiang Chuan had died at his hands, and the final Bloodline Crystal contamination...

He could tell Mrs. Yun and Mr. Ya about these things, but with other people on the plane, Su Ze chose to keep them secret.

Su Ze began to take stock of everything he had gained from the Divine Dice this time.

First was the improvement of his own strength...

The first round had allowed him to digest most of the Liquid Turbellaria Extract he had recently absorbed.

The second round had greatly increased his Spiritual Power, even causing a qualitative change. The "quality" of his Spiritual Power had now reached the Saint-level Overlord tier.

The third round had significantly strengthened his physical body, laying the foundation for him to later absorb a Tier Five extract, skipping a tier.

The fourth round had allowed him to directly absorb and digest the extract of a Purple-skinned Kangaroo, and he had obtained a powerful Tier Four S-rank skill, "Strongest Punch."

His material gains were just as abundant.

He had killed quite a few people and obtained several storage items. Although these storage items didn’t contain anything particularly valuable, the items themselves were worth tens of billions.

But his main prizes were a vial of a Tier Six extract and two Tier Four Wondrous Items: the Crystal Sword and the Wind-Rolling Grass.

As for the Bloodline Crystal, Su Ze wasn’t sure whether he should count it as a gain...

But even without considering the Bloodline Crystal, his haul this time was staggering.

"Su Ze, you must have obtained a Bloodline Crystal this time, right?" Headmaster Zhou Wenshan suddenly asked.

In the past when the Divine Dice opened, the final victor only had a chance to receive a Bloodline Crystal as a reward, and a very low one at that.

So it was possible that some people had obtained a Bloodline Crystal but chose to hide the fact.

But Su Ze’s case was different. The Divine Dice had undergone a strange transformation: it opened early, the number of entrants increased, the death rate rose, and the difficulty was greatly amplified...

After such a unique Divine Dice trial, no one would believe Su Ze even if he said he hadn’t gotten a Bloodline Crystal.

So when Su Ze emerged from the Divine Dice, no one asked if he had obtained a Bloodline Crystal, because everyone assumed he had.

Su Ze nodded. "Yes, the reward for the final round of the trial was a Bloodline Crystal."

Zhou Wenshan gave a slight nod, unsurprised. "Since you’ve obtained the Bloodline Crystal, you should try to break through to the Saint level as soon as possible. Once you become a Saint and absorb the crystal, you won’t have to worry about others coveting it."

Su Ze remembered something and asked, "Headmaster, do you know about the Bloodline Contract?"

Zhou Wenshan shook his head, looking blank.

Su Ze then briefly explained the effects of the Bloodline Contract.

Zhou Wenshan thought for a moment. "I haven’t heard of it, but then again, we in Dongli rarely have the chance to come into contact with Bloodline Crystals. After we land, I’ll contact the Sovereign Country and ask around. If this Bloodline Contract has existed before, they’re sure to have records of it."

...

On the evening of May 20th, Su Ze and the others returned to Dongli University.

They had left on the morning of the 15th. All in all, only five or six days had passed, yet to Su Ze, it felt like he had been gone for a long time.

He could only say that he had experienced too much in those few short days. The constant, high-intensity trials and battles had made time feel so drawn-out.

Liou Wenxin had prepared a table full of delicious food as a welcome-home meal. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Su Ze, Mrs. Yun, and Mr. Ya hurried back to the villa. The group sat around the table, eating and chatting.

"By the way, Mr. Ya, what was the skill you got in the fourth round of the trial?" Su Ze suddenly recalled.

Back in the fourth round, Mr. Ya’s opponent had been an elephant-type mutated beast. Based on Su Ze’s guess, the Divine Dice should have matched Mr. Ya with a life-saving skill, but that elephant didn’t seem to have any such abilities.

Speaking of which, Mr. Ya’s expression turned a bit odd. "This skill is a bit... metaphysical. I’m still not sure if it’s actually useful."

"What kind of skill is it? Come on, tell me." Mr. Ya’s words had only piqued Su Ze’s curiosity.

"The skill is called ’Danger Warning,’" Mr. Ya said helplessly. "Its effect is just what it sounds like. It can predict danger and warn me."

"That amazing? Isn’t that a god-tier skill?!"

Mr. Ya shook his head. "It’s not that godly. First, the skill can’t predict all dangers. In other words, when it does give a warning, there’s definitely danger. But when it doesn’t give a warning, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no danger."

"Also, it only warns me that there is danger, but it doesn’t tell me where the danger is coming from. I have to guess on my own."

"That skill is very powerful and rare," Liou Wenxin explained. "Elephants already have a keen sense for impending danger. After evolving into mutated beasts, this ability is amplified. However, I’ve never heard of an elephant-type mutated beast evolving this ability into a skill."

"It might not seem very strong to you now, but it has huge potential for growth. Once you enter the Saint level and continue to upgrade this skill, just imagine what it could become..."

Mr. Ya tried to imagine it... ’A 100% accurate danger warning? The ability to foresee a clear image of the danger?’

Thinking about it that way, the skill truly did have limitless potential!

Mr. Ya said, "My ’Danger Warning’ skill has another function. It can predict danger for others, but I have to be in physical contact with them to do it."

"Isn’t that just a fortune-telling skill!" Su Ze held out a hand. "Mr. Ya, come on, give me a reading."

Mr. Ya decided to test it out on Su Ze. He reached out, took Su Ze’s hand, and activated the "Danger Warning" skill.

A moment later, a faint red glow suddenly appeared between Su Ze’s eyebrows.

"What does this mean?" Su Ze asked, confused.

Mr. Ya didn’t answer. Instead, he pulled his hand back, and the red glow on Su Ze’s brow instantly vanished.

Then, he took Su Ze’s hand again. A moment later, the red light reappeared.

Mrs. Yun commented from the side, "Red. That signifies a bloody disaster. It’s definitely not a good omen."

Mr. Ya nodded gravely. "Indeed. Red represents a danger warning."

Mrs. Yun had just been speaking casually, but she hadn’t expected Mr. Ya to actually confirm her interpretation. Both she and Liou Wenxin immediately grew serious.

"Is this thing accurate or not?" Mrs. Yun asked.

As the owner of the skill, no one understood its effects better than Mr. Ya.

Mr. Ya frowned. "This is my first time using this skill, but it should be accurate. The red light has two possible explanations. One is that danger is imminent, and the other is that he is currently in danger."

"If it’s the former, the advance warning time depends on the level of the danger’s source. For example, if the danger comes from a life form with a lower evolution level than me, I can probably predict it several hours in advance. If it’s from a Saint-level Overlord, I might only get a few minutes’ warning."

"If the danger is from a Saint-level Sovereign, I’ll most likely only get a few seconds’ warning, or possibly no warning at all."

Su Ze said, "But that doesn’t make sense. Anything that could threaten me would have to be at least a Saint-level Overlord. So if your prediction is accurate, I’m going to be attacked by a Saint-level entity within minutes?"

"Well... it’s not impossible," Mr. Ya said, glancing around warily, ready to whisk Su Ze away at a moment’s notice.

Mrs. Yun also went on guard.

Then, a full ten minutes passed, and everything remained calm.

"Looks like it can only be the second possibility. Boss, you’re currently in danger!" Mr. Ya said with certainty.

"What danger? You’re not going to tell me a scraped knee counts as danger, are you?" Mrs. Yun asked doubtfully. She was starting to lose faith in Mr. Ya’s esoteric skill.

"No, my skill only predicts life-threatening danger!"

"Then test me, too." Mrs. Yun, refusing to believe it, held out her hand.

Afterward, Mr. Ya "told the fortunes" of both Mrs. Yun and Liou Wenxin. The results for both were normal. Only Su Ze, no matter how many times Mr. Ya tested him, would cause the red light to appear on his brow.

"There’s definitely something wrong with your skill!" Mrs. Yun said, trying to reassure Su Ze. "Don’t overthink it. You’re safe here at Dongli University."

Su Ze nodded. He suspected there was nothing wrong with Mr. Ya’s skill; he really might be in some kind of danger.

His thoughts turned to the Bloodline Crystal and the headless clone he was carrying.

’Could the danger be coming from those two things?’

Su Ze took out the two storage items containing the headless clone and the Bloodline Crystal and gave them to Mrs. Yun for safekeeping. However, the test still showed that he was in danger, while Mrs. Yun was completely fine.

’So it has nothing to do with these two things?’

Su Ze fell into deep thought.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. I have a feeling it’s eighty percent likely the skill is inaccurate," Mrs. Yun said, waving her hand. "But... maybe don’t sleep too soundly tonight."

Su Ze could only nod. He made plans with Liou Wenxin to go to her lab the next day to study the Bloodline Crystal and the headless clone, then went upstairs.

Mr. Ya, worried that Su Ze might really be in danger during the night, took the guest room next to Su Ze’s.

No one in the villa slept soundly that night.

Since he couldn’t sleep anyway, Su Ze simply got up and started organizing his various items. He planned to sell some of the things he didn’t need directly to Evolutionary Technology or exchange them for contribution points.

Aside from all sorts of miscellaneous evolutionary medicines in various bottles and jars, as well as other sundries, there were also several spare storage items—all things Su Ze had no use for.

As for Wondrous Items, the Tier Three Marvelous Object, Moon Blade, was cracked. Plus, he now had the more powerful Crystal Sword, so Su Ze gave the Moon Blade to Mr. Ya.

Another item was the Tier One Wondrous Item "Traceless Walker." This item had been with Su Ze for a long time, but after he reached the Butterfly Stage, it was no longer very useful to him. Su Ze planned to get rid of it as well.

Currently, Su Ze was using the Tier Three Marvelous Object: Hundred-Change Mask and the Thorn Armor Leaf, as well as the Tier Four Wondrous Crystal Sword and the Wind-Rolling Grass for escapes.

In addition, he had one drop of Evolutionary Liquid (Miracle Spring Water), a Lin Hua Army Token, and a vial of a Tier Six extract.

’I’ll have Xu Sheng come over tomorrow to pick up the junk.’

Before he knew it, day had broken...

The night passed without incident.

However, when Mr. Ya "read his fortune" again in the morning, the red light still appeared between Su Ze’s eyebrows.
