Chapter 139 – Surprise!

Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes.
It was true that the crocodile meat was Mutated Beast meat, but the chickens were ordinary chickens. They were raised in mountain farms and sent to the market in batches.
These chickens were not disrupted by anything else nor did they possess special abilities.
They ate feed, grain, and worms.
Since when would they eat crocodile meat?
Minced crocodile meat was still meat!
No chicken would eat meat, unless it was a Mutated Beast.
Now, these ten chickens were happily fighting for and pecking up the crocodile meat.
The reason was definitely not the chickens, but the crocodile meat!
The cooked crocodile meat indeed had a unique fragrance.
The ten chickens caught this fragrance, ran over, and fought to eat it .
It could only mean one thing. The attraction of the crocodile meat was beyond imagination.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing did not stop the chickens. He allowed all ten of them to fight and finish off half of the crocodile meat.
Then, he removed the tray, put it aside and waited patiently.
It wasn’t that Su Jingxing was stingy. The appetite of a chicken was only so big. If they continued eating, they might die from overeating before being poisoned.
The ten chickens actually showed no restraint when eating the crocodile meat. They didn’t care about anything else. Once they managed to seize a spot, they started eating furiously.
Su Jingxing didn’t want to see them die from overeating.
While waiting, Su Jingxing observed carefully and found that although the ten chickens were bloated, they were full of vigor and showed no signs of being poisoned.
The four roosters even got into their positions and started fighting.
Su Jingxing waited for half an hour. After making sure that there were no problems with the ten chickens, he turned around and walked into the house. He stir-fried the remaining crocodile meat with seasonings and condiments and finished the big plate as breakfast.
He had to admit that it was very delicious. There was the delicacy of wild mountains and rivers, as well as the special texture of Mutated Beast meat. It also gave him a refreshing and comfortable feeling from head to toe.
After he finished eating, he didn’t feel bloated because the crocodile meat was quickly digested after entering his stomach. It turned into a cool energy that flowed through his body. It spread through his limbs, organs, and even his brain. Everywhere it passed, it felt like drinking iced spring water in summer.
It was not the kind of bone-chilling coldness that would make one tremble. Instead, it was the kind of gentle coolness that felt like stroking the finest silk.
This feeling became more prominent as time passed.
On the way to the crematorium, Su Jingxing’s mind was exceptionally clear.
As for tempering of the body, there was not much.
Su Jingxing tried to circulate the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven and refine it, but he didn’t get much of a reaction. He just left it be and allowed himself to enjoy the comfortable touch.
During the process of moving corpses, his entire body felt cool and refreshing.
It was not until three hours later that the feeling disappeared.
Su Jingxing had decided to bring the rest of the crocodile flesh out.
It would be a waste to leave such Mutated Beast flesh to rot in the underground pond.
When he found out that his extraction range had increased, Su Jingxing couldn’t wait to bring them all back.
That’s right, this giant crocodile’s flesh could actually enhance soul power!
At first, Su Jingxing had thought that it was an illusion.
After a few tests, he agitatedly confirmed that his extraction range had really increased.
Before this, Su Jingxing’s extraction range was ten meters.
With him as the center, he could extract cards from corpses within a ten-meter radius.
Yesterday, it was still ten meters too.
Today, however, it had grown by two meters to 12 meters.
These two meters were automatically added after a night’s sleep?
Or is it due to the increase in my true energy cultivation?
No!
It is impossible that it’s due to sleeping, and this isn’t the first time my true energy cultivation has risen. If they could boost my soul power, it would have been done long ago. There is no way it will happen only now.
The only explanation is that I ate eaten crocodile meat in the morning!
It was easy to verify this point.
After work, Su Jingxing rushed to the Tai Ming Mountain Reservoir.
Activating Advanced Hearing, he listened carefully to his surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, he pretended to go swimming and entered the reservoir.
He released his true energy externally and dived into the cave. When he reached the underground pond, he retrieved all crocodile flesh that he had dropped the night before and placed them in his palm space.
This time, he discovered a species of silver fish at the bottom of the pond while going for the crocodile flesh.
One was the size of two fingers. Yet they moved very quickly and had a beautiful physique.
Su Jingxing tried to catch a few, but he failed. When he released his true energy in the water, not only was the resistance strong, the commotion was also huge.
The silver fish were very vigilant. Before Su Jingxing even got close, they would sense him and disappear from sight.
The corner hole at the bottom of the pond connected to other waterways.
Su Jingxing didn’t have much time to play with silver fish, so he gave up quickly.
With the discovery of the silver fish, he finally figured out what the giant crocodile had been eating for the past 200 years.
Only the giant crocodile’s ability to hide its aura would allow it to catch…
Er, no, it should be said that only a giant crocodile could make the silver fish swim into its mouth by themselves.
Since Su Jingxing ate the crocodile meat, that would be considered indirectly consuming the silver fish.
…
Back at his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Su Jingxing took out the crocodile meat he had brought back, cooked it again, and finished a large pot.
After that, he enjoyed the cool and comfortable sensation for three hours. Then, he quickly rushed to the crematorium through the air, hid in a corner, controlled the distance, and extracted cards.
After a few attempts, he successfully confirmed that his extraction range had increased by another two meters!
What a surprise!
This was a wonderful and pleasant surprise.
Su Jingxing had only brought back a few pieces of flesh for a taste after killing the giant crocodile because he knew that Mutated Beast flesh was rare.
Unexpectedly, he got a taste of great benefits!
It was still unclear what use the glowing willow tree had.
However, the giant crocodile flesh delighted Su Jingxing.
Increase soul power.
This was an ability that only rare treasures and pills possessed.
For example, the Spirit Accumulation Pill.
On top of being able to turn invisible and conceal all auras, the flesh of this giant crocodile that Su Jingxing had killed also had this ability.
It was so surprising.
It was difficult to calculate the exact amount of soul power, but one large tray of crocodile meat to increase extraction range by two meters was still a good reference.
The gigantic crocodile was almost 40 meters long. After removing its skin and internal organs, the remaining crocodile flesh was enough to make dozens of trays.
Since it could increase his soul power, Su Jingxing was in no hurry to go to the Xuantian University Library anymore.
For the next few days, besides going to work, he stayed at home, cooked a tray of crocodile meat every three hours and finished it.
He also prepared the meat in a variety of ways——roasted, boiled, stir-fried, sliced…
After he finished all the crocodile meat, his mind was inexplicably agitated.
He swiftly rushed to the crematorium to check his extraction range.
He got a statistic——
101 meters!
The amount of soul power he had accumulated pushed his extraction range to exceed a hundred meters.
With this range, Su Jingxing didn’t need to enter the crematorium to extract the cards.
Then, something even more surprising happened.
That was with his extraction. There was now no need to provide a notification and wait for Su Jingxing’s response to carry on with the extraction.
When his soul power pushed his extraction range past a hundred meters, his cheat ability did the extractions automatically!
It wasn’t even extracting them up one by one, but accumulating a certain amount before extracting altogether.
For example…
[Cards +30]
[Cards +50]
Ha!
Su Jingxing grinned, delighted by this change.
“An extraction range of more than a hundred meters.. Is it time to change my identity?”
