Assassination System

Chapter 33 Breakthrough!



According to the System, the Longinus Clan's Divine Arts or Cultivation Method. Excels in speed and destructive power. The explosiveness of Lightning and the speed of Thunder becomes the vital core of this method. The cultivator's ability to balance the two and manipulate each element could mean the difference between life and death.


Both father and son used the first stance of the Blessing of the Lightning God Divine Arts. The Manifestation wherein they summon the might of lightning and send it flying towards their enemies with the speed of thunder. Dan threw a lightning ball at his father while the latter coiled his arms with Lightning Qi and absorbed his son's attacks.


Dan clicked his tongue, lowering his center of gravity, he activated the Thunder Element and reappeared beside Zaramias with a booming sound. Upon arrival, he enveloped his palm with Lightning and sent it flying towards his father's chest.


"Hmmph! As if that's enough to defeat me..." Zaramias snorted, twisting his body, he ignored Dan's attack and clutched his wrist before sending an attack of his own in the form of a palm strike. Surprised by the sudden turn of events, Dan activated Flicker disappearing from the area before reappearing. But this time, with a fully-charged Lightning Ball in his palms.


"Chidori!" Dan exclaimed and slammed his palm on his surprised father's chest. With a deafening crackle, the latter flew backward, hitting a boulder and smashing it into smithereens. Witnessing his father's bedraggled appearance, Dan felt smug and even lifted a cocky smile on his lips. Beating his domineering father until he struggled to stand up made him somehow proud of himself.


But at the same time, he became doubtful. How could he not avoid that simple attack? He inwardly thought.


"I'm here, my boy..." Zaramias' cold voice echoed behind him and Dan turned around, forming an X with his arms as a roar of thunder blasted him away. Blood trickled down his lips as he struck a nearby pillar. Standing up amidst the dust, Dan spat his blood and wiped his lips.


Staring at his father that formed come hither sign with his hand, Dan's expression turned cold and he sped, this time, manifesting two chidoris with both of his palms all the while moving in an erratic manner. But even though his movements looked confusing to the eye, Zaramias easily followed each of his movements and could even predict where he would land.


"There!" Zaramias exclaimed, flicking his wrist, he sent a blast of lightning bolt towards an area, three meters away from his left. Dan who just landed there clicked his tongue and activated Stealth. The disappearance of his son made him confused. But still, he just stood there with his arms crossed over each other, waiting for his son's emergence.


Inside the independent space of distorted lights, Dan couldn't summon an attack or his Stealth would be disrupted, however, he sneaked behind his father, laying low on the ground, Dan emerged from Stealth and the same time, his father smirked and sent roundhouse kick on his right torso.


Sneering, Dan caught a handful of dust and hurled it over his father's face.


"Goddamned it, you brat, that's dirty!" Zaramias who ate the dust complained, his kick interrupted and he staggered backward. Dan took this opportunity, encircling his father, he threw a palm strick on the former's back, which made him roll on the ground.


His father's wretched appearance made him chuckle as he thought about the times where the former repeatedly teased him and Natalie, taking a stance, Dan said, "Still wanna have a go?"


Zaramias inwardly cursed as he stood up. Although he complained in his heart, he knew that when it comes to battle or war, everything was allowed. Because of this fact, he could only swallow his bitterness as he dusted his robe.


By this time, Natalie finally completed her mission and when she returned, her expression looked haggard as she repeatedly took deep breaths with her chest violently heaving. Dan walked beside her and wiped her sweat as his father rolled his eyes, "You brat, I'm still your father, but you're not even taking care of me, you're prioritizing your wife..."


Dan chuckled, "Well, I know that you can handle that yourself..."


"She could also wipe herself!"


"That's different, she's adorable and you look like an emaciated old man..."


In the end, Zaramias could only helplessly smile and said, "That's it for today. At noon, I will have George buy some medicinal bath so both of you could break through at least a single stage..." He waved his hand goodbye and walked towards the direction of his granddaughter's room.


Natalie stared at Dan who was still wiping her sweat off her forehead and said, "Thank you," She took the towel from his palm and also used it to wipe his sweat. "Wait, that towel is already drenched though..." She stopped, and upon realization, the two stared at each other and chuckled.


Soon, they could be seen walking side by side as Dan cracked numerous jokes that he prepared during his previous life for picking up girls. At first, he thought that he would never have the chance to use them. But now that he transmigrated and even had a wife; he could finally showcase his humor as laughter like bells echoed from the empty courtyard.


At noon, the couple returned, hand in hand as Juliet ran towards both of them and gave them her small embrace. Dan became overwhelmed of her cuteness and couldn't help but poke her rosy cheeks. "Were you a good girl? Were you a good girl?" Dan pinched her cheeks and the child laughed in his embrace.


Natalie also went on her own and arranged her ruffled hair, with Dan teasing the young child and Natalie arranging her clothes, They thoroughly looked like a joyful family of three, and it was something that Zaramias appreciated as he smiled.


"Juliet, we're gonna talk with your grandpops for a bit so can you play with your toys, outside?" Natalie kneeled and said, gesturing at a ball, Juliet obediently nodded her head and carried it outside.


Inside the room, George suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shocking Dan and Natalie who revealed wry smiles towards the strange capability that George had. Dan couldn't see through his cultivation, even with the Systems help and he became a big mystery for Dan.


"Young Master and Mistress, the medicinal bath is ready..." George respectfully said, Zaramias nodded his head and gestured for him to leave. With the disappearance of George, Zaramias turned his attention to Dan and said, "Go, both of you take that medicinal bath together, I want to see Natalie and you breaking through at least a single realm before I send you guys off towards a certain place..."


"Also, stay there until all the liquid is consumed..."


Dan was intrigued by the mention of a certain place. But since his father looked like he didn't want to explain any further, he could only nod and drag Natalie away towards the bathroom. There, inside the wide bathroom that looked more like a hall, A jacuzzi tub filled with sticky aquamarine liquid could be seen.


Dan took his little wife's clothes and the latter did the same to him. Fortunately this time, Dan didn't have any indecent thoughts as the two entered the bath. It was normal at first and the two relaxed, leaning onto each other's shoulders.


However, as time passed by, a numbing feeling spread through their bodies which eventually turned into a sharp prickling sensation akin to needles boring through their skin. Dan gritted his teeth in face of this inhuman pain. But still, muffled grunts echoed out of her mouth and his body repeatedly twitched.


According to the wuxia novels that he read back at his previous life when it comes to this kind of bath. One must not lose his consciousness or else he would implode from the inside. Biting the tip of his tongue, he glanced at his wife and found that she valiantly endured the pain without letting out any yelps of pain.


Dan became astonished about Natalie's pain tolerance and the thought of having his wife surpass him in this aspect made him somewhat somber and determined as he refused to let out any groans of pain.


Circulating his Qi, the medicinal liquid soon dried up and both of their bodies shone in an aquamarine light. Dan could feel a sensation forming on his navel that felt like an oncoming orgasm. But it was more painful than pleasurable. Holding his wife's hand, both of them focused their consciousness onto that impending release as a rumble echoed out from their bodies.


Both of their muscles repeatedly twitched and it gave off a faint aquamarine color. Apart from that, even though it looked nothing different; Dan could feel that his physical prowess doubled. Even though his skin looked fair like a woman, with his will, that beauty could turn into a destructive force which could annihilate everything that stood on its path.


Natalie, on the other hand, experienced more changes. Her sharp countenance became emphasized and the coldness and domineering pressure that enveloped her body intensified even further. If not for the fact that she was already his woman. Dan would be afraid to approach her vicinity.


However, Dan knew that hidden under that coldness was a warmth that could melt anything in this world. And he felt satisfied with himself that he had such an eternal comrade right beside him.


With their hands intertwined, they turned to look at each other and gave a small smile. From the Middle Stages of Flesh Tempering Realm, Dan reached the Peak Stage while Natalie broke through the middle stage. Standing up from the empty bath, the two found that they didn't feel the sticky sensation of the liquid that disappeared in their bodies.


Instead, they felt quite refreshed and satisfied, as if they just scratched an itch that they could never scratch before.


Smiling to each other, the two dressed up and walked out of the bathroom, only to be greeted by Zaramias who handed them a letter. Upon opening the letter, the two stared dumbstruck at the contents.


[Tomorrow, the Vice Commander is invited to a field simulation battle, it is expected that the Vice Commander will command Squad A while his wife will command Squad B. I expect every combatant of the said squad, should be present at the scene. If not, prepare for the consequences.]


Behind the letter was Zaramias blood red stamp.


"What in the hell is this, old man?"


"Hmm?" Zaramias took the letter from Dan before continuing, "Ah, this? I was just about to say something about this to you, so, come, come, sit down..." He gestured and both of them sat on a chair at the opposite side.


"As a member of the Longinus Clan, not only both of you should possess the power to subdue your enemies, you should also possess the capability to scheme and see through schemes, along with leadership and the ability to defeat your enemies using the minimum resource as possible..." Zaramias clasped his hands together, an amused smile lifted on his lips.


"Both of you, husband and wife, shall lead these two squads against each other in a Field Simulation Training..." He declared and the mouths of the two gaped in shock as they stared speechlessly at Zaramias.
