Chapter 505: Chapter 301 Condensation and Doubling of Attributes

Kyoto.

State Guest Hotel.

Under the guidance of the guide, Shinkan Zhenzang stepped into the hotel lobby.

His gaze scanned the surroundings.

As far as the eye could see.

It was a sight to behold with its glittering gold splendor.

So much so that a touch of amazement flashed through the eyes of the old man.

But it was not to admire the luxurious decoration of this hotel.

Rather, it was to marvel at…

“Excuse my rudeness.”

“On my way here, I noticed that many places in the city seem to be under reconstruction.”

“It seems like… something happened?”

“Why is this hotel an exception?”

Shinkan Zhenzang, speaking fluent Chinese, asked his guide.

The person he asked was not a member of the Association Committee.

In fact,

the Committee Member who had met him at the airport had only brought him to the hotel entrance before leaving without saying another word.

The one standing in front of Shinkan Zhenzang at the moment.

It was just a staff member of the Martial Arts Association.

Hearing his question,

the staff member paused for a moment.

“Kyoto experienced an earthquake seven days ago, during which many buildings collapsed.”

“This hotel sustained relatively minor damage due to its sturdy structure.”

“And President Li attached great importance to this international conference, so he sent people to expedite the repairs, making it perfect again just before everyone arrived.”

With a smile on his face, the guide spoke in a calm tone.

It seemed he was well-prepared for this line of questioning.

Normally,

busy Martial Arts Association staff members would not be responsible for reception duties.

But this important international conference,

led to the replacement of ordinary staff with Association staff members.

They knew what to say and what not to say.

“I see…”

Hearing this,

Shinkan Zhenzang nodded without saying much.

He narrowed his eyes, a strange color flowing through them as he contemplated something.

The commotion from the Kyoto incident a week ago could not have gone unnoticed by other countries.

However, the Martial Arts Association’s efforts to keep the situation under wraps have so far been relatively successful.

For now, other countries only knew that Kyoto was in chaos, with many people dead.

But other details were unknown.

Shinkan Zhenzang asked deliberately,

wanting to see if he could learn anything from the staff member’s response.

Unfortunately,

the Martial Arts Association wasn’t so foolish as to let it slip.

In fact,

to guard against loose-lipped individuals,

none of the staff leading the delegation were ordinary martial artists.

Almost all of them were disciples of the Association Committee Sect.

The weakest among them possessed the strength of the Perfect Breathing State Level.

Even if Shinkan Zhenzang wanted to use some “tricks” to pry for information, he dared not do so rashly.

After this round of inquiry,

Shinkan Zhenzang gave up on obtaining information.

In silence,

the three of them arrived at the third floor of the hotel.

“If you need anything, please do not hesitate to contact us.”

After helping to move the luggage into the room,

the guide bowed slightly.

Then,

with a click,

the door was closed.

The room was now occupied only by Shinkan Zhenzang and his disciple, Shinkan Isshin.

“Returning to the old stomping grounds.”

“How does it feel, Ancestral Lord?”

Shinkan Zhenzang placed his luggage down.

As for his “disciple”

he simply sat down in the chair in the room.

Looking at it like this,

Shinkan Zhenzang seemed more like the disciple.

“Disappointed.”

Shinkan Isshin’s face remained expressionless as always.

“I thought that after so many years, the prosperity of this country would far exceed my imagination.”

“But now it seems, it’s just so-so.”

“Even the level of Transcendent beings is far inferior to the past.”

In his words,

he didn’t hide his disappointment at all.

Neither of them was worried about whether the Martial Arts Association would put eavesdropping devices in their room.

They both understood very well.

With current technology,

there’s nothing that could evade the detection of top transcendents from various countries.

And once eavesdropping devices were found,

the Martial Arts Association would be in a very unfavorable position.

As a result,

Shinkan Isshin spoke freely, without any worries.

“Still, we must be careful about walls having ears.”

But compared to Shinkan Isshin,

Shinkan Zhenzang was much more cautious.

After all, the ears of some top warriors were more useful than any listening devices.

As his voice faded,

there were no signs of any movement.

At the pupils of his eyes,

blackness spread rapidly.

Liquid crawled out from under his body and slowly enveloped the entire room.

At this moment,

if someone was watching the gap under the door from outside, they wouldn’t notice any abnormalities.

But inside the room,

it was completely shrouded in that strange “black liquid.”

“Ancestral Lord, shall we begin our operation now?”

Shinkan Zhenzang came to Shinkan Isshin, knelt down, and buried his head deep in the black liquid.

As he spoke,

the black liquid that filled the room seemed to boil, constantly bubbling.

At several spots, it rose slowly, as if something was about to break through the liquid and emerge.

“There’s no rush.”

Shinkan Isshin lowered his eyes.

“There are still many eyes on us right now.”

“Wait until the conference is about to begin, then let them out.”

“If we want to successfully absorb those Heavenly Human Descendants, we must proceed with caution.”

“We still have time before the Heavenly Person awakens.”

“Yes.”

As Shinkan Zhenzang agreed, he buried his head even deeper.

Behind him, the boiling black liquid instantly calmed down.

There were constant wriggling noises.

The liquid quickly contracted and returned to his body.
