I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 223 : 204. Test ritual

"Convicted of multiple charges, Zorav, do you plead guilty?"

The Divine Sound of judgment fell emotionlessly, and Zorav could hardly believe it:

"Goddess?!"

"I am asking you, do you plead guilty?"

"..." Zorav opened his mouth, his face as dark as water and filled with immense panic, dread filling his eyes—he had never expected that the Goddess would turn around to judge him!

Wasn't it supposed to be that kid with the surname Xia on trial now! Damn this shitty Goddess! Zorav's forehead was covered in sweat as he hurriedly shouted:

"Goddess! I am your Believer! You should not—"

However, before he could finish speaking, a murderous Divine Thought struck, Zorav's resentful fearful pupils suddenly shrank, and his body instantly transformed into a bloody Spiritual Light, dispersing into nothingness.

The semi-transparent Soul Body began to disintegrate as well.

"Hey, wait a moment." Xia Feng raised his hand and quickly stepped forward.

The Black Moon Goddess paused in thought.

Zorav's Spiritual Body grimaced, looking up in surprise, "Kid... no, Mr. Xia! Spare my life, and I'll agree to any condition you propose!"

Xia Feng smiled, stood firmly, thought for a moment, and then seriously raised his thumb, "You're truly excellent."

Zorav: "?"

[Holy Resolution Ceremony: Kill someone smarter, better-looking, more powerful, and more excellent than you.]

With most of the Holy Dissolution Material now collected, Xia Feng was prepared to test the completion method of the Holy Resolution Ceremony.

"You are not only more excellent, smarter, and more powerful than me," Xia Feng intently stared at Zorav's face, which was barely considered good-looking and far inferior to his own, and sincerely said, "but also more handsome!"

"...?!" Zorav's face grew even more embarrassed; he now understood that this kid was mocking him right before his death! Mocking him, no matter how scheming he was or how powerful a Fifth Rank Spirit Master he was, he was still going to die!

"OK." Xia Feng, having acknowledged the other's superiority, swiftly brought his hand back and struck with the blade, "You can die now."

"!" Bastard! Bastard!! Mock me and then just kill me, not even giving me a chance to curse! Zorav felt choked.

The blade's reflection caught the last visages of Zorav's fear and unwillingness, the Spiritual Body dissipating like smoke.

After dealing with Zorav, Xia Feng did not sense the completion of the Holy Resolution Ceremony. He wasn't surprised, after all; if merely verbally acknowledging the other's excellence would work, it would indeed be too simple.

He would have to try self-hypnosis next.

Or find someone who genuinely was smarter, more powerful, better-looking, and more excellent than him in all four aspects...

But setting aside the first three, talking about someone more handsome than him... Not to brag, but did such a person really exist in this world? He was deeply skeptical of that.

"Alright, now that there are no others present. Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with the Dragon God?"

The Black Moon Goddess's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, her gaze still stirring eagerly at Xia Feng, her eyes hiding a cold murderous intent.

"Respected Goddess, I know you are anxious, but please hold off for a moment."

Xia Feng knew that the Goddess still wished to kill him, but from the information in the Dragon God's True Name, he had generally figured out the Black Moon Goddess's ways. In fact, she was actually a coward—or rather, a coward when confronting the Dragon God.

Therefore, even though he did not have the power to summon the Dragon God at will, he had to maintain the confidence and fearlessness as if he could.

"Before answering Goddess's questions, I would like you, my lady, to agree to two conditions."

"More conditions?" The look in the Black Moon Goddess's eyes grew unfriendly.

"Goddess, there is no need to use Divine Pressure to intimidate me anymore. It's ineffective."

Seeing this evil human's infuriatingly unbothered demeanor, the Black Moon Goddess gritted her teeth and said coldly, "...Speak. What are your conditions?"

"First," Xia Feng held up a finger, "I need 100 milliliters of Holy Liquid."

"!!!"

"Human, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" The Black Moon Goddess was so angry it hurt, this evil human even dared to bring this up.

"Lady Goddess, I mean no harm; I merely wish to obtain Holy Liquid." Xia Feng had used a temporary Holy Release, where only 95 milliliters of Holy Liquid remained, just 5 milliliters short of replenishing it back to 100 and acquiring a strong lifesaving skill.

"That's impossible, suggest another condition."

"...How about this, I'm not asking for much, just 80 milliliters?"

"I told you, no! The Holy Liquid is one of my aids against pollution, and the amount taken... stolen yesterday was already at the limit, it cannot be reduced any further."

Against pollution? Xia Feng was taken aback, no wonder....

"Then 5 milliliters, you can't spare even 5 milliliters?"

"Deal." A small blob of golden liquid appeared out of thin air in front of Xia Feng, as the Black Moon Goddess's faint voice spoke up, "Now tell me, what is your second condition?"

"?" Seeing that the Black Moon Goddess gave in so readily, Xia Feng couldn't help but feel suspicious, this wimp of a goddess might be playing tricks on me! What happened to it already being at the limit!

Never mind, since that's not my main goal anyway, Xia Feng shook his head and stored the Holy Liquid, continuing:

"My second condition is simple; I want a Heavenly Stone Embryo."

"Impossible!"

The Black Moon Goddess was adamant, she truly couldn't give that material away as Heavenly Stone Embryos could repair many things and were very rare.

"Well, it seems we are at an impasse then?"

Xia Feng could see now, this goddess was not only a coward but also stingy.

"Since you are unwilling to give it, then I shall take my leave." Xia Feng smiled, "Of course, rest assured, I will share every detail of today's encounter with Lady Si."

"..."

Hearing Xia Feng mention the Dragon God, the Black Moon Goddess was startled; the Dragon God was actually awake? But how could this be?

"Fine, here is the Heavenly Stone Embryo, take it."

The Black Moon Goddess sighed, not because she feared that mother dragon, but because she wanted to gather more information.

A light pink radiance quietly converged in front of Xia Feng, swiftly forming into a magnificent, irregularly shaped, rosy-red stone, faintly emitting a mysterious and vast aura.

Xia Feng reached out to catch it, a myriad of information flooding into his mind.

[Heavenly Stone Embryo]

[....]

[Function: Basic material for advancement to the fifth rank, also capable of repairing all things spiritual]

After receiving the information, a thought from Xia Feng caused the rosy-red stone to transform into a stream of light and enter his Spiritual Body, merging with his spirit.

But to his surprise, the Evil Demon Heart couldn't absorb the Heavenly Stone Embryo, and even showed some resistance.

That meant the repairing effects of the Heavenly Stone Embryo were useless on the Evil Demon Heart! Xia Feng was somewhat disappointed; he had thought that such a divine object would be beneficial to the Evil Demon Heart.

However, it seemed not to be a matter of insufficient worthiness but rather a mismatch in compatibility.

While musing over this, suddenly, the rosy-red Spiritual Flow, unable to penetrate the heart, autonomously surged toward the Gui Blade on Xia Feng's waist.

"Eh?"

Xia Feng was startled, and before he could react, the Heavenly Stone Embryo, carrying his spirit, merged into the Gui Blade.

"Hmm?" Yue Hongli's charming voice sounded gently, a cool tone resonating within, "Master, what did you put inside me, my body feels so strange...."
