Rebirth of the Urban Demon Lord

Chapter 11 Demon Eyes

Chapter Eleven: Demon Eyes

He resigned without permission after failing to resign.

As Zhuo Yang walked down the street, it was as if every pore on his body was open, breathing joyfully.

I stretched, hailed a taxi, and went home.

The rented room was a dilapidated house in an urban village. It was a tiny nine-square-meter room that cost four hundred yuan a month. The landlord must be outrageous. Besides the bed, there was only a table and a simple wardrobe in the room.

Zhuo Yang threw down his bag, sat cross-legged on the bed, and closed his eyes to calm himself.

Today I retrieved a fragment of the primordial spirit from the Eastern family, but I haven't had a chance to fully fuse it with the primordial spirit yet.

In each cycle of reincarnation, a person is born with a complete three souls and seven spirits. Therefore, the fragments of Zhuo Yang Demon Lord's primordial spirit are considered foreign species. Without special secret methods to temper them, they cannot be fully integrated. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to play their due role, but they will also backfire over time, with mental splitting being the least of their worries.

Little Diao had no idea what Zhuo Yang was cultivating. She sat on her shoulder bag, propping her chin up with her short hand, just watching the show.

Suddenly, her big, dark eyes almost popped out.

Suddenly, a black mist appeared above Zhuo Yang's head, like a small dark cloud, with lightning rolling within it.

"Lightning... Lightning tribulation?"

Little Diao trembled all over. What demons fear most is heavenly lightning. Every time they undergo tribulation, they will be struck by heavenly lightning. If they survive, their cultivation will greatly improve and the demon body will become stronger and stronger. If they cannot survive, they will be burned into charcoal and their soul will be scattered.

The scene of Zhuo Yang being struck by a smaller version of lightning was even more terrifying than when he used lightning to temper his body before. After all, one was an ordinary lightning strike, while the other was a heavenly lightning strike containing immense power.

The next moment, a crackling sound of electric sparks exploding rang out, and a thin bolt of lightning, as thin as a matchstick, struck Zhuo Yang on the head, singeing a few strands of hair.

Little Diao rubbed his big eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

Are there such small-sized lightning tribulations?

Then came another burst of crackling lightning, each small bolt striking Zhuo Yang's head. Xiao Diao counted nine...

What the hell? Nine lightning tribulations? Are you trying to ascend to heaven in broad daylight?

The little dart stood with its mouth agape, and the weasel's face was full of confusion.

……

It was late at night, and the room was dark, with only a little light coming in from outside the window.

Even so, Zhuo Yang immediately spotted Xiao Diao sitting blankly to the side, her adorable appearance making him want to hug her tightly.

Zhuo Yang asked with a laugh, "Are you scared out of your wits?"

Little Diao nodded repeatedly.

"There's no way to communicate!"

Zhuo Yang thought for a moment, then took out a notebook and pen from his bag and placed them in front of Xiao Diao.

"I said, you write."

Xiao Diao didn't dare to refuse, always thinking that someone who could be struck by nine bolts of lightning and still be completely unharmed must be incredibly powerful.

But such a small lightning tribulation, is it that the Heavenly Dao deliberately let it slide?

"Master, you've been cultivating all day, and you even underwent a tribulation—nine lightning tribulations!"

Xiao Diao held the pen and struggled to write a line. Although she wrote with difficulty, her handwriting was delicate and beautiful, looking exactly like that of a well-bred young lady.

"A whole day?" Zhuo Yang glanced at it and frowned. "I'll give you three days. You must learn simplified Chinese characters, or you won't get any chocolate!"

Little Diao blinked, puzzled.

But the chocolate is all gone, so you have to behave or you'll go hungry!

It's really asking too much of a little demon from another world to understand what simplified Chinese characters are.

Zhuo Yang didn't want to explain, so he said, "It's just a primordial spirit tribulation, not a real nine heavens thunder tribulation."

It sounds simple, but only he knows the dangers involved.

The fusion of two different primordial spirits is an act against the heavens, and will surely be punished by heavenly lightning. Fortunately, he was knowledgeable and calmed his mind at the critical moment, making the fusion process very peaceful. This prevented the heavenly Dao from paying too much attention, and the lightning tribulation that descended was extremely weak.

As the primordial spirit grows stronger, it will inevitably receive more attention from the Heavenly Dao and rise in rank. When it absorbs the fragments of the primordial spirit, a true tribulation of lightning will likely descend.

Little Diao nodded blankly, then wrote down a bunch of traditional Chinese characters: "There will definitely be gains from transcending tribulation. What benefits did Master gain?"

Zhuo Yang looked at the little girl in surprise and suddenly realized that she was very good at flattering people, which hit the nail on the head.

"Hmm, little girl, you're smart. Keep up the good work!"

Gently patting Xiao Diao's head as encouragement, Zhuo Yang said, "I have fused with a fragment of my primordial spirit and mastered the power of the Demon Eye!"

Upon hearing this, Little Diao immediately "knelt down," cupped his hands in a gesture of congratulations, and looked incredibly cute.

Zhuo Yang laughed a few times, "It seems you know about the Demon Eye's abilities, so I won't explain it to you. Let's leave this place tomorrow and find a lucky spot to build our cave!"

"But for now, let's fill our stomachs first!"

Even in the dark, as long as there is a faint light, Zhuo Yang can see things clearly. This is the most basic ability of the Demon Eye – vision.

A slightly higher level of ability allows one to perceive the primordial energy of heaven and earth, which is the best means of finding blessed lands and grottoes.

Therefore, every blessed land is bound to be occupied by demons, because they have innate abilities and have found blessed lands to begin their cultivation early on.

There are other abilities, such as the ability to see through Yin and Yang, which require the support of true energy...

"Squeak..." The little darting carp was overjoyed and darted into the bag, peeking out its little head with a happy smile.

As a little demon born of nature and without any support, being able to live in a cave with abundant spiritual energy with a great demon is a blessing earned over several lifetimes. If you're lucky, you might even achieve enlightenment and elevate your entire family to heaven.

And there are also earthly delicacies... My mouth is watering!

……

One advantage of urban villages is that urban management is very poor, so every night, all kinds of food stalls fill the alleys.

Zhuo Yang, carrying a shoulder bag and with Xiao Diao by his side, went out. Not far from the barbecue street, the entire street was shrouded in barbecue smoke late at night.

"Gudong..."

The little darting head peeked out, unable to resist swallowing hard. Forgetting her shyness, she stretched out her little paw and pointed to a stall a dozen meters away.

"You're such a foodie, always looking for the best food to eat!" Zhuo Yang tapped her on the head and walked over.

That barbecue stall was a place Zhuoyang frequented; the food was delicious and the prices were reasonable, but it was always crowded and the wait was quite long.

As Zhuo Yang approached the stall, before he could even squeeze into the crowd, someone patted him on the back.

"Zhuo Yang, is that you?"

Her sweet, soft voice instantly tells you that the speaker is a beautiful woman.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhuo Yang froze for a moment before slowly turning around.

"It's really you!"

Before me stood a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a black miniskirt and white shirt—a classic beauty. Add to that her black stockings, and she exuded an alluring charm.

"Hello... Luo Zixuan," Zhuo Yang forced a laugh.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see an old classmate?" Luo Zixuan extended her hand generously.

Zhuo Yang sighed inwardly before reaching out his hand.

Because the beautiful woman in front of him was not only his classmate, but also his first love in this life.

No, it's unrequited love.

I had a crush on someone for four years in college, and after graduation, I happily followed them to Lingzhou City.

However, Luo Zixuan was not only beautiful, but also came from a good family. Even though she had long realized that Zhuo Yang liked her, she never considered him.

The two shook hands lightly, and Luo Zixuan chuckled, "It's been almost two years since we last met. I didn't expect to run into you here by chance. I'm having a late-night snack with some classmates from our Economics and Trade Department. How about we come over... Oh!"

Before she could finish speaking, her foot slipped, and she fell headlong towards the curb.

Zhuo Yang reached out to help her without hesitation.

The whole world seemed to freeze at that moment, and Zhuo Yang only felt his heart beat a little faster...

His outstretched hand passed right under Luo Zixuan's armpit and landed where he shouldn't have.
