Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 37: Shall we give it a try?At this moment, Jiang Feng felt an itch on his skin again.

He knew this was a sign that he was about to molt.

Jiang Feng crawled to a slightly more concealed spot, intending to begin molting.

With his current size, it was basically impossible to hide completely without anyone seeing him.

Not to mention, he had to move while molting.

There was no other way; if they saw him, then so be it!

Fortunately, it was nighttime, so visibility was poor, and he wouldn’t be quite so conspicuous.

Jiang Feng rubbed his body against the ground.

The molting had begun!

An hour later, Jiang Feng successfully finished molting.

His body had grown larger by another circle, and his length had increased to 11 meters.

His weight exceeded four hundred kilograms.

He was a true giant python.

”Ah!”

[fear points + 30]

The commotion Jiang Feng made over here had long since attracted the attention of students entering and leaving the Girls Dormitory.

Most students knew of the existence of this snake, Jiang Feng, and those who didn’t were informed by other students.

The timid ones deliberately avoided the area, while only a few bold ones insisted on coming to see how a snake molted.

At this moment, there was a student nearby peeking.

Upon seeing Jiang Feng’s massive size after molting, the student was struck by a small dose of fear and then hurriedly ran away.

Jiang Feng didn’t pay any mind to this student, who was neither clearly timid nor bold.

He still hadn’t finished his previous business; he still had 15,000 fear points on hand.

”System, redeem the second level of the Star Art.”

[Ding, 10,000 fear points consumed to redeem the second level of the Star Art.]

After the redemption, a cultivation technique even more mystical than the first level of the Star Art flooded into Jiang Feng’s mind.

His body was rapidly absorbing the power of the stars, and the absorption speed was several times faster than before.

Since the absorption speed had increased, did that mean the progress rate would also increase?

A sense of anticipation arose in Jiang Feng’s heart.

Unfortunately, an hour later, his cultivation progress for the second level had only increased by 0.05%.

Not only did it not speed up the progress rate, but it was actually twice as slow.

In other words, if he wanted to rely on his own cultivation to complete the second level, it would take at least over a hundred days.

The amount of fear points required to increase cultivation progress by 1% had also increased from 100 points to 1,000 points.

Jiang Feng used 1,000 fear points to redeem one percent of progress.

[Star Art second level cultivation progress reached 1.05%, Strength +10, Physique +10, Agility +10, spirit +10, Thermal Sensing distance +1]

The extent of the improvement was about what he had guessed.

To complete the second level, he would need 100,000 fear points.

Truly a bottomless pit!

With 4,000 fear points remaining, Jiang Feng didn’t plan on using them.

With his current strength, 4,000 fear points wouldn’t improve much.

It was already late at night, so Jiang Feng crawled to the side of the dormitory building wall and went to sleep.

To his disappointment, no one came to catch the snake tonight.

Inside a private room at a club in Su City.

Chen Qian, Jiang Hao, and Wang Hai were all there.

Besides them, there was also a lavishly dressed wealthy young master, his two bodyguards, and a waiter.

”Young Master Lu, you absolutely cannot let Su Ling and that white snake go!”

”That’s right! That Su Ling is too hateful; she stole your white snake and claimed it as her own.”

”That white snake must have escaped from your company’s laboratory, Young Master Lu, and then been picked up by Su Ling.”

Chen Qian and the other two took turns accusing Su Ling in front of Young Master Lu, claiming that the white snake belonged to him.

Bureau Chief Lu Ye toyed with the blood-red bracelet in his hand, a strange, evil smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

”Are you three pieces of trash trying to tell me how to do things?”

Bureau Chief Lu Ye’s words carried an invisible chill that pierced the soul, scaring the three of them so much that their legs trembled and they fell to their knees.

”No, no, Young Master Lu, we wouldn’t dare.”

”Hmph! I suppose you wouldn’t dare. You three, go get me something from that snake.”

”Understood, Young Master Lu.” The three hurriedly acknowledged the order and exited the private room.

Once outside.

”Something from the snake? What does Young Master Lu want?” Jiang Hao asked, somewhat puzzled.

”Young Master Lu probably wants snake blood. Do you have any way to get it?” Wang Hai said after a moment of contemplation.

”Snake blood!” Chen Qian covered her mouth in fright.

”What are you screaming for? It’s just snake blood. If Young Master Lu hears you, he won’t be happy.”

”But how are we supposed to get snake blood! We can’t beat that snake at all. If we could get snake blood, we might as well just bring the snake back to Young Master Lu.”

”Brother Hai, I think Qianqian makes sense. If we could get snake blood, we wouldn’t have come to ask Young Master Lu for help.”

”Hmm, that snake is indeed hard to deal with, and it’s really not possible to drain its blood. Perhaps we can get something else from it.”

”Something else?”

”Yes, something else, like snake skin. Young Master Lu just said something from the snake; he didn’t explicitly say it had to be snake blood. I was jumping to conclusions earlier.”

”But where are we going to find that snake’s molted skin?”

”There must be some. It’s grown so large, it must have molted many times.”

”Alright, we’ll go find its snake skin.”

Meanwhile, inside the private room.

The waiter’s wrist was slashed, and blood gushed out, being absorbed by a blood-red bracelet.

The female waiter struggled desperately but was held down firmly by Bureau Chief Lu Ye’s two bodyguards; her eyes were filled with despair and resentment.

”Hehehe, drink up!” Bureau Chief Lu Ye wore an evil smile, watching the female waiter struggle like a demon.

After a long while, the female waiter stopped struggling.

The blood-red bracelet also emitted a slight tremor.

Bureau Chief Lu Ye signaled the two bodyguards with his eyes to dispose of the corpse, and then he left the private room.

”Hahaha, Bureau Chief Lu Ye, let me drink the blood of a few more people, and I will be able to recover one-tenth of my power. By then, I can satisfy whatever you want.” A voice echoed in Bureau Chief Lu Ye’s mind.

”Rest assured, Blood Demon, it won’t be long. I still need you to help me deal with the white snake.”

...

While Jiang Feng was sleeping, his body would automatically circulate the Star Art to absorb the power of the stars.

Over the course of the night, Jiang Feng’s Star Art cultivation progress increased by 0.3%.

Jiang Feng suddenly thought of his spell, Meteor Fall.

Should he test its power?

The more he thought about it, the more restless Jiang Feng became. Last night it was pitch black, and he didn’t want to hurt anyone, so he hadn’t tried it.

Now that it was daytime, he could easily find an empty space to test it out.

Jiang Feng looked around; the sky had only just brightened, and since it was the weekend, many students were sleeping in.

There were hardly any people outside, or perhaps even no one at all.

Jiang Feng began to recite the spell in his heart.

”With my snake body as the conduit and my soul as the foundation, open the Gate of Stars. Above the dome, all stars heed my command.”

As Jiang Feng cast the spell, starlight circulated within his snake body, lighting up one node after another. These nodes constructed precise and complex symbols connecting with each other.

At a certain moment, a Star Gate suddenly formed within his body, and the Star Gate emitted rays of light that shot directly out from within him.

At the same time, high in the sky, a hundred meters up, a massive Star Gate appeared out of thin air.

It was the projection of the Star Gate within Jiang Feng’s body.

Jiang Feng shouted violently in his heart:

”Meteor, come!”
