CHAPTER 339: CHAPTER 302: THORN

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada let out another clear cry, bringing Gao Xuan out of his confusion.

Gao Xuan’s Celestial Dragon Eye fell on the windbreaker on the clothes rack, and his memory returned to normal.

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t missing any memories. It was just the memories about the mysterious windbreaker that were being interfered with.

Fortunately, this interference was only real-time and couldn’t reverse Gao Xuan’s memories.

After some contemplation, Gao Xuan decided to put on the windbreaker, and indeed all his memories returned to normal upon wearing it.

This item was manageable before the upgrade, but after upgrading, it became quite troublesome.

Gao Xuan discovered that after upgrading, the demands of the mysterious windbreaker on spiritual and emotional power increased tenfold.

Luckily, he still had the Celestial Demon Relic, which provided a steady daily income of roughly one billion in spiritual spirit. That was just about enough to meet the windbreaker’s emotional power demand.

This was actually extremely exaggerated. An ordinary person wearing this windbreaker would lose all emotions within two hours. They would become a purely rational block of wood, or rather a robot.

Even for a Golden Powerhouse, wearing this thing for long would be unbearable. Losing emotional sensitivity would cause one’s Source Power Level to drop.

However, trying to use this windbreaker to ambush a Golden Powerhouse would be very difficult.

Any Golden Powerhouse is incredibly smart. Once they detect something’s off, they definitely won’t wear it again.

The windbreaker only causes people to lose emotional fluctuations, not turn them into fools.

With the mysterious windbreaker on, Gao Xuan calmed down completely and was able to consider the various effects and changes of the windbreaker.

Previously, the windbreaker just had no presence, but after upgrading, it could interfere with people’s perception, even their memory.

This interference only targets the windbreaker and does not have a substantial impact on people. Strictly speaking, it doesn’t cause any real harm.

What use does this have?

Of course, it’s useful, and particularly so. It’s practically made-to-order for an assassin.

The hardest part for an assassin is approaching the target unawares and then retreating after the deed.

With this windbreaker, you can kill unnoticed and make an easy escape afterward.

If you’re not ambitious, you can use it to mooch food and drink or steal something. You could even steal a person and no one would remember.

The windbreaker’s special feature lies in its ability to interfere with Golden Level spiritual power. This is the most precious thing about it.

Gao Xuan knew very well that if he didn’t have the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, he would forget about the windbreaker’s existence. Or perhaps he would never even recall it again.

Even if the record of this memory existed completely in his mind, he wouldn’t revisit it.

To interfere with a Golden Level powerhouse gives an opportunity to kill the Celestial Snake King!

Gao Xuan believed that even though the Celestial Snake King was a Golden Middle Tier, his spiritual power wouldn’t be much stronger than his own.

Spiritual power is the most difficult power to cultivate. Normally, the Golden Threshold is 30 points.

After that, each level increase allows for an increase of one point in spiritual power. As a Middle-tier Gold Powerhouse, the Celestial Snake King’s spiritual power was probably between 33 and 35.

This is just a theoretical speculation.

In reality, due to individual talent differences, differences in cultivation secret techniques, and different circumstances, spiritual power could greatly differ from the theory.

Just like him, at only Level 14, his spiritual power has already reached 34 points. This was unimaginable to outsiders.

Moreover, the actual effect of the windbreaker still needs verification. For instance, whether killing someone would cause a strong stimulus to the surrounding people, thereby remembering him.

Furthermore, the windbreaker is so sinister that it can’t be worn all the time. It would be terrifying to be forgotten by the entire world.

No one likes this kind of result. No one can accept it either.

Ultimately, humans are social beings. From the moment of birth, humans need to band together, yearn for companionship.

The form of human life also dictates that a solitary child cannot survive. Even with modern technology, if completely isolated from peers, such a person would surely grow to be a monster.

Gao Xuan felt he should make a memory backup and not trust his spiritual power too much.

Just like a WPS document, there should be a save every minute to ensure not too much is lost.

In life, there are always various unexpected events.

What Gao Xuan thought, he did immediately. With his Lifebound Marvel, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, creating a memory backup was easy.

This way, as long as the Six-winged Celestial Cicada isn’t destroyed, he would at most lose a second’s memory.

The spiritual nature of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada itself ensured it wouldn’t be interfered with by outside forces. Even the mysterious windbreaker couldn’t achieve this.

Gao Xuan replicated the memory and tried out the mysterious windbreaker again.

Sure enough, after he took off the windbreaker, he would quickly forget about its existence. But as long as he triggered the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, he could remember everything about the mysterious windbreaker.

Having a way to counter the mysterious windbreaker, he could now put it on or take it off freely without any technical obstacles.

To test the mysterious windbreaker’s specific effects, Gao Xuan went out and killed a few people.

In Hundred Ghosts City, good people are hard to find. There are plenty of bastards deserving to be killed. Gao Xuan found a small gang with numerous evil deeds and ran repeated tests.

After he killed a person, he stood by watching the commotion. As a result, all the surrounding people gathered around the corpse shouting, but no one noticed him.

After repeating multiple times until the gang members were all killed, they never noticed an outsider among them.

Gao Xuan then went to Qiqu Pavilion, wandered around it, and no one paid any attention to him. He wandered around freely.

After a few days of turmoil, Qiqu Pavilion had already restored normal order. However, their treasure vault was looted empty with heavy losses. The vault was seriously damaged and couldn’t operate at all.
