Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

127: Heavenly Thunder Tribulation! You are a monster!After the meeting concluded, Bai Yu went to Cultivate.

It was five in the afternoon.

In the Cultivation room.

“Acquired Golden Fragment * 1.”

“Whew~ I’ve already obtained two Golden Fingers, haven’t I?”

“That’s right, I’ve had the Golden Finger for over twenty days now, so probabilistically, it makes sense!”

This Cultivation session felt incredibly refreshing to Bai Yu.

He could now sense that the primary function of those Acupoints was to store spiritual energy.

The number of Acupoints he had activated was over eighty.

The Cultivation Technique he was currently using was naturally the one he obtained when he first became an extraordinary being.

“The Origin and Evolution of All Laws: The Cultivation System.”

“This Cultivation Technique was released on January 1, 2045, which is about seven or eight years from now.”

“Although it’s a Cultivation Technique that has undergone extensive improvements much later, the biggest problem is that its original intention was to allow the general public to quickly enter the path of Cultivation, not to prepare them for the path of ultimate power!”

“In my current perception, this Cultivation Technique can probably only activate 120 to 130 Acupoints. I already have over eighty Acupoints, and according to this Cultivation Technique, I’m already at the Mid to Late Stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. I’m truly formidable!”

“However, the team leader’s Acupoints when she Advanced to the Ling Yuan Realm were approximately 155 to 160! The known limit seems to be 180!”

“A mere 120 or 130 is definitely not my limit.”

“I just don’t know if Old Yuan’s side, or the top-tier treasury, has the Cultivation Techniques I need. After a Transmigration, it wouldn’t be Perfection if I didn’t get a top-tier Cultivation Technique!”

“However, I’ll take it one step at a time. If I truly want to obtain a top-tier Cultivation Technique, the difficulty won’t be too high; it’s just a matter of time. I can totally see what good things the intelligence can bring.”

After Cultivating, he felt his entire body brimming with power! He had an urge to find a place to unleash all the power within him.

He glanced out the window and suddenly noticed that it was overcast outside, as if night had fallen.

At this moment, White Spirit’s voice sounded: “Brother Bai Yu, today’s weather is very suitable for your Body Tempering. Do you need Ling’er to guide the Thunder?”

Bai Yu walked to the window and looked at the gloomy sky.

This weather was indeed excellent for him!

“There’s a big operation tomorrow night. Whether it turns into a fight or not, Body Tempering in advance to strengthen myself certainly won’t hurt.”

Making a big commotion within the city would always cause some trouble, so he could only contact the team leader’s side.

The news he received was that Wanqing Jie had found a better location: the Jianghai Freight Group’s building near the dock!

That area mostly consisted of warehouses and factories, with very few residential areas nearby.

And the Jianghai Freight Group building was one of the few tall buildings in this area. Its rooftop had many lightning rods, and lightning often gathered there, making it look like Undergoing Tribulation.

It was also a good opportunity to scout the situation in advance.

It felt like venturing deep into the tiger’s den.

But Bai Yu pondered for a moment and still decided to go!

On the building’s rooftop.

“Rumble~”

“Rumble rumble~”

The rain fell rapidly, and Thunder flashed.

Pedestrians on the road began to rush, wanting to get home as quickly as possible.

The workers in the building he was in also successively got off work.

But the forklifts handling containers were still operating continuously.

The lights on the dock also lit up, and the gantry cranes began to operate.

Under the heavy rain, there was a sense of human life.

Just like that, it lasted for a full hour, and Bai Yu guided the Thunder thirteen times.

And he could confirm that his Spirit Art—Sky Thunder Guide—was already complete!

This ability was somewhat like guiding the free charges in the air, releasing the Thunder-attribute spiritual energy in the air, forming Sky Thunder! Its lethality was extremely powerful.

This Sky Thunder didn’t necessarily have to fall from a thousand meters high; if the environment was suitable, there was no problem in creating shocking Thunder from flat ground.

Not bad!

On the rooftop.

Bai Yu sat cross-legged, terrifying Thunder wrapped around his body, with a hint of white light in his eyes. When he looked up at the sky again.

“Rumble rumble~!”

An extremely thick white lightning bolt struck down, landing on the rooftop and on Bai Yu’s body.

Faintly, one could see the Thunder entering his body, traveling through his Meridians, and then disappearing into various Acupoints.

And under the tempering of the Thunder, Bai Yu’s skin looked lean and powerful, with a firm, compact feel and a slight luster.

“My strength should be at least over eight hundred kilograms, right? It’s almost a ton!”

“And my skin’s defensive power definitely far surpasses that of normal Cultivators. I just don’t know how high my spiritual power is.”

Below the building.

Li Yunbin and the others were naturally watching the scene of rolling Sky Thunder.

Zhao Bin looked at the data monitoring screen and said: “The Sky Thunder just now was very energetic. One lightning bolt is equivalent to 100 to 200 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy. Bai Yu’s absorption rate reached about 15%.”

“The energy he can contain within his body is truly a bit terrifying! And this is only the Mid to Late Stage of Qi Gathering Realm… When he activates the same number of Acupoints as us, it will probably be even more terrifying!”

“Haha~ Captain, do you feel the pressure?”

This last question was asked by Jiang Chen.

Although he was usually quite low-key, in reality, he was the second strongest combatant in the team, with a cultivation level slightly lower than Qin Wanqing, placing him third.

Currently, he was also considering advancing to the Ling Yuan Realm, especially since Director Yang had just mentioned the Ling Yuan Realm cultivation plan at noon today! This ignited his Battle Intent.

Li Yunbin replied very casually, saying: “The Dao of the Sword lies in the Sword Heart and in Sword Intent; it grows stronger when faced with strength, not in ordinary competitiveness. If all of your cultivation levels can surpass mine, then that’s good too.”

The ultimate Dao of the Sword naturally meant becoming invincible among those of the same Realm.

But there are always people stronger than you, and Li Yunbin did not yet possess that level of Sword Heart.

“Aside from this monster Bai Yu, we probably have no hope of surpassing the captain. But he’s only been growing for less than a month! He’s too damn terrifying! He’ll probably really be promoted to the General Bureau in the future, and will we end up working for him, as he always boasts about? I feel like this kid genuinely wants to be our superior!”

“The abilities he has shown warrant it. Actually, besides the Martial Arts Class matter, I’ve also heard…”

“Heard what?”

“Never mind, you’ll know later.”

“…Captain, you’ve also become mischievous!”

At this moment, Bai Yu came downstairs and got into the car.

“Hehe~ Am I awesome or not?”

“Awesome!”

“Feifei Jie, how about…”

“No!”

“I haven’t even said what it is yet. I was going to ask if you wanted a more Advanced Qi Gathering method.”

“??? Can I become that awesome if I learn it too?”

“Not really. After all, I am a Genius in a million. But since you don’t want it, then forget it.”

“Hmph!”

After being tsundere for a while, she asked: “Is there really one?”

“Fake.”

When he obtained a new Cultivation method, he could indeed share it.

This was, after all, something from eight years later! He couldn’t just keep it to himself.

That would truly be a waste!

On the way back.

White Spirit also flew back.

‘How’s the busy work going?’

‘Everything is arranged as Brother Bai Yu said!’

‘Hmm, that’s even better then!’

After Soul communication, Bai Yu took out his second page.

Ever since he absorbed a large amount of evil Qi, his second page had received a tremendous enhancement.

For example, the tracking technique, which originally might have required a flash within a certain range to slowly find the target.

But now he only needed to inject spiritual power into it and activate the tracking technique to ascertain the approximate quantity of homologous energy in the nearby area.

Homologous energy!

Besides the energy of the blood clan modifier and the Black Demon monsters, he naturally had enough time during this period to record the energy of Dark creatures, Lizardmen, and even more alien races!

Of course, it didn’t mean that after recording, he could find all creatures with homologous energy.

But he would have a general idea of the number of monsters with homologous attributes in an area.

He poured in spiritual energy, sensed carefully, and then felt a bit nervous, but more so excited!

“Did you find anything?”

“Black Demon monsters and Dark creatures, their numbers both exceed a hundred. The others are more scattered; they might not have arrived yet.”

“There are over a hundred Black Demon monsters?”

“Mm!”

Bai Yu hadn’t expected that even after dealing with so many people with black blood disease, there were still so many hidden!

“They might be the subordinates of the Black Demon Warrior. Tomorrow night will be a tough battle, but we are just observers.”

Time passed by minute by minute. After Bai Yu and the others finished dinner, they went on their normal patrol and began to handle various cases.

Even with a big operation tomorrow night, they couldn’t appear too obvious.

Of course, the alien races on the other side definitely knew they were going to take action.

Because the Investigation Bureau had given clear information.

This morning’s anonymous tip-off letter was submitted by Dark creatures!!!

Clearly, the Blood Clan and Dark creatures, as well as other alien races, also had their own plans; they wanted to draw the Human Race’s extraordinary beings into the game.

The Investigation Bureau appeared to be stepping into this trap openly, but they definitely had other plans.

After all, the Investigation Bureau knew about the inheritors of the other black lotus flower petals.

And before today, Professor Yuan Guofeng’s side didn’t even have a particularly clear understanding of the twelve petals!

Wu Yifei was lying in the hospital, right before everyone’s eyes, yet no one knew he was the inheritor of the black lotus flower petals!

How could the alien race have expected that the Official not only suddenly knew about the black lotus flower petals, but also knew about more targets?

The Official should be betting big on this battle, right?

11 PM.

Inside the Cultivation room.

Bai Yu had just returned half an hour ago and came straight here to train.

Jiang Chen recently planned to advance to the Ling Yuan Realm, so he was also training very diligently.

At this moment, he was also Cultivating here.

Jiang Chen glanced at Bai Yu, who was testing his fist power at the memory magic stone.

He saw Bai Yu’s right fist gather thunder light, and with a ’bang’, it slammed into the black stone.

The depth was about twenty centimeters.

This was equivalent to an explosive force of over 1500 kilograms. This was explosive power, not Physical Body strength; the two were different.

And this black stone was also very magical; after being attacked, it slowly returned to its original state.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask curiously, ”By the way, have you tested your spirit art attacks recently?”

Bai Yu knew that Jiang Chen’s inner self was actually a battle-oriented person.

Asking this way clearly showed he was itching for a fight.

”Brother Chen, want to compete?”

”Okay! Let’s give it a try.”

Arriving in front of the testing wall, Jiang Chen was still a little nervous.

He suddenly asked, ”Oh right, have you tested your spiritual energy?”

”I tested it when I just came back, 3658.”

About twenty-odd days ago, when he first joined the Investigation Bureau, his data was 698.

”Increasing by about 150 a day, you’re truly a monster!”

”Oh right, the team leader said he was at 18,000 when he Advanced. Brother Chen, what about you?”

”12,800, data from over ten days ago. It should be around 13,000 now. It’s almost at its limit. With resources, I might be able to push it to around 14,000, which would be good enough.”

”The Qi Gathering Realm is just the starting stage. Brother Jiang Chen’s foundation is already good enough!”

”Hahaha~ You little rascal are starting to comfort me now. My heart isn’t that fragile, so don’t worry.”

With that, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said, ”Alright, let’s begin! I’ll go first.”

The spirit arts Jiang Chen practiced were mainly fist techniques, palm techniques, and also leg techniques and movement techniques.

These Moves were somewhat similar to the ancient martial arts system.

However, he wasn’t considered part of the ancient martial arts system, because Jiang Chen’s attacks were all energy-based, not energy attached to the body for close combat.

Mainly, his Physical Body Tempering was not strong enough.

He saw Jiang Chen’s right fist begin to gather power, retracting his fist to his waist, and dozens of fist shadows appeared in front of him.

And this was not the end!

Behind that fist shadow, a cyan figure appeared, seemingly also gathering power.

The fist print energy suspended in the air was constantly trembling!

Bai Yu saw this scene and also became serious.

This was Jiang Chen’s Dao, his Fist Intent.

Director Yang once said that the Sixth Realm, the Dharma Aspect Realm, was the unity of Divine Soul, reaching the legendary Realm of the unity of heaven and man!

That figure, at this moment, maintained the same movements as Jiang Chen, which could be considered aPrototype.

Of course, there was still a huge difference, that was for sure.

Sometimes, even if there was only a thin membrane, some people would spend their entire lives unable to break through it.

And the current Cultivation path could even be considered a bit crooked, not orthodox.

But in the end, it was approaching the Great Dao.

The principle of different paths leading to the same destination.

When Jiang Chen’s power accumulation reached its limit.

”Phantom Spirit Fist!”

Instantly, dozens of fist prints rained down continuously.

Vast energy left traces on the gray, special stone wall.

On the side screen, the numbers were constantly jumping.

The attack lasted for a full half-minute!

The instrument side took a full two minutes to compile the final data.

Finally, the data was fixed at:

Destructive Power: Rank 13.7 ~ 16.2

Energy Level: 1500 ~ 2000

This time it was Bai Yu’s turn to be shocked.

In terms of power, compared to the captain’s Killing Sword Dao data during the Qi Gathering Realm, it was only 1.5 Ranks lower.

The key was the Energy Level!

Being able to mobilize about 10% of one’s spiritual energy was considered very powerful.

Calculated at the upper limit, it was already 15%.

At this point, Jiang Chen took the initiative to say, ”Don’t be too surprised. It might have been due to some Battle Intent just now that I had such an outburst.”

”In the Qi Gathering Realm, I might never be able to do it a second time. And accumulating power for so long isn’t practical either!”

Bai Yu then grumbled, ”Meow meow meow, back then Sister Feifei suppressed me, and now that I’ve finally risen. You’re here again!”

”I should have just gone to Sister Feifei to test.”

He still remembered Liu Feifei’s data from back then:

Destructive Power: Rank 12.2 ~ 14.4

Energy Level: 800 ~ 1100

And his three test data were:

Destructive Power: Rank 3.5 ~ 4.8

Energy Level: 50 ~ 80

Destructive Power: Rank 5.6 ~ 6.9

Energy Level: 100 ~ 120

Destructive Power: Rank 8.1 ~ 10.2

Energy Level: 80 ~ 100

Each one was stronger than the last.

He was completely confident he could surpass his previous data!

But at this moment, a voice came from the doorway.

”You’re talking bad about me behind my back again!”

By the voice, he knew it was Liu Feifei.

Bai Yu looked over awkwardly and explained, ”No way! I was just talking about testing our strength.”

At this moment, Liu Feifei just happened to see the numbers on the screen and her eyes widened: ”This... is this your data? Why don’t you go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow? I feel like the biological laboratory would be very interested.”

”...It’s Brother Jiang Chen’s.”

”Oh, oh.”

But then she realized that Jiang Chen’s was also not right!

”Huh?”

”You two are both monsters!”

”Sister Feifei, I’m going to test now, do you want to avoid it?”

Liu Feifei covered her eyes with both hands and said, ”I’m not looking! I’m not looking!”

However, through the gaps in her fingers, she still peeked.

Bai Yu smiled, then walked to the testing area, took out the thunder scepter, and took a deep breath.

This time, he was going to use multiple spirit arts!

Taking a deep breath, the third page appeared, wrapped around his right wrist.

In fact, his current capacity to bear thunder was very strong.

But with the third page, it could be even stronger! It also came with a Body Tempering effect.

Dazzling lightning surged out, and a thunder domain appeared around Bai Yu.

Within the thunder domain, one Palm Thunder after another floated in the air.

This was the fourth ability of Palm Thunder: Quantity!

It also came with the third ability, Blast!

The next moment, the second page appeared, and three Thunder Spears quickly condensed.

And between these spirit arts, lightning occasionally flashed like thunder, which was Bai Yu’s small application of Sky Thunder Guide.

When these attacks were launched, they would even carry a faint Sky Thunder Guide effect, inflicting lightning strikes on enemies.

He accumulated power for a full half-minute.

Three Thunder Spears, twenty-eight thunderballs, and over forty Sky Thunder Guides!

With a ”boom~!”.

Terrifying thunder raged within the 200-square-meter training room, and the surrounding walls rapidly absorbed the dissipated spiritual energy.

Finally, the instrument on the side froze.

Destructive Power: Rank 12.5 ~ 16.8

Energy Level: 1200 ~ 1500

”You... you’re truly a monster!!!”

Bai Yu was also extremely excited after seeing the test data.

”Hahaha~! Tell me, am I amazing or not?”

The upper limit was definitely caused by the Thunder Spear, slightly higher than Jiang Chen’s, but the lower limit was also slightly lower.

He hadn’t even expected that he was so terrifying!

He was secretly proud, but humbly said, ”In a battle, where would I have so much time to accumulate attacks?”

”And I’m using the thunder scepter, which is beyond my Rank, to achieve this level. When I reach the Ling Yuan Realm, the effect of the thunder scepter will be much weaker.”

Pure Versailles!

Jiang Chen just sighed with a smile.

He had gained something tonight as well.

With such a monster in the team stimulating him, it would be difficult not to improve!

What’s more, he also brought in so much performance.

”Oh right, has the captain tested his data after reaching Half-step Ling Yuan Realm?”

Liu Feifei puffed out her cheeks and said, ”Rank 16.8 ~ 20.1.”

”??? Only Half-step Ling Yuan Realm, and he’s almost at the upper limit of Ling Yuan Realm!? He’s simply a monster!”

”...The captain’s sword is also a treasure, alright? The captain usually fights in a low-key manner. And you, this big monster, still have the nerve to call the captain a monster!”

Bai Yu directly ignored his Versailles-like words and asked, ”Low-key?”

”Yes. The captain always holds back some strength to watch over us.”

”It seems coming to Seventh Team was indeed my fortune!”

After this test, Bai Yu was naturally in a good mood! He happily returned to his room, drank a bowl of Ten-Spirit Tonic Soup, and ate a few spirit items.

He then quietly Cultivated, waiting for the intelligence to arrive after midnight.
