Even if you beat Shen Yanxiao to death, she dared not let herself become an experimental guinea pig and allow the undead to study her. If she were found out, she would never be able to leave the Howling Abyss alive.
The divine power of her body alone was enough for the undead to kill her a hundred times.
“I’m very thankful of dean’s kindness, but I guess I’m fine.” Shen Yanxiao refused.
“You don’t want to?” The dean was surprised at Yan Di’s answer. If her strength were lifted, she could recover her identity as a purebred undead, gain formidable strength, and be respected by other undead. She had no reason to refuse such a beneficial and harmless thing.
“Yes.” Shen Yanxiao nodded.
“Can you tell me your 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 strived to practice physical skills: to ensure that I have a life-saving ability. But if my death energy is released, I think my dependence on death energy will gradually replace my dependence on physical skills. I do not intend to give up my physical skills. I’m still learning the secret books that Mentor Kehr gave me. Not having death energy will make me more attentive.”
Shen Yanxiao uttered an impressive speech and unobtrusively flashed a sly smile in her eyes.
She was well aware that the reason the dean and Kehr valued her was because she was one of the few undead who was good at physical skills, so she used the excuse of concentrating on physical training. If they wanted her lessons about physical skills, they would have to think it over.
Sure enough, Shen Yanxiao’s words made both the dean and Kehr think deeply.
Both of them were powerful undead. Naturally, they knew how much death energy affected the undead. At the same time, they also knew that an undead with strong death energy hardly exerted much effort to study physical skills. No matter what one chose to study, they need to be single-minded and a hundred percent dedicated to it. But once death energy constituted a large portion of their strength, they were bound to have a psychological bias.
Physical skills could not be acquired overnight, but death energy was inherent in the undead. Who would want to continue learning some other boring skills after obtaining a formidable power to squander?
Obviously, both the dean and Kehr jumped into the pit that Shen Yanxiao had dug. They had been led by the nose.
As the demon lord who dominated the whole Radiance Continent, Shen Yanxiao’s skill of fooling people was absolute. Which of the rulers of the four countries had not been fooled by her? No need to mention Kehr and the dean.
“Since you insist, I will not force you any more.” The dean eventually abandoned his previous plan. What he needed more than a purebred undead was a mentor who specialized in physical skills.
“The dean can rest assured that I will not give up increasing my death energy, but I will put most of my experience into physical arts. The dark nuclei that Mentor Kehr is sending me are enough for me. Although the speed of my promotion is not fast, it’s just right for me now. It will not affect my physical training.” Opening her mouth with a smile and having the dean dispel the idea of studying her was one thing. Continuing on blackmailing Kehr for dark nuclei was another thing. She also wanted to ascend, so she could not let go of such a good supply.
“You can just focus on studying physical arts, leave the problem of the dark nuclei to me. I won’t let you be short on them.” Kehr promised with a smile.
