Chapter 166: Four Pages of Power-Up! The Mystery of the Fourth Page
As dense evil energy poured in, Bai Yu could feel the Second Page rapidly approaching a critical point.
And the other three Golden Pages also flew out.
The four Golden Pages connected to form a ring, then cast down a dazzling golden light.
The evil energy within the ten Soul Beads surged out simultaneously.
The majestic evil qi formed a tornado, appearing incredibly imposing!
As a large amount of evil energy poured in, the four pages began to tremble continuously, and Bai Yu could feel the changes occurring within them.
When the evil energy was almost completely drained, with a “buzz!”, the golden ripples within the four pages spread outwards.
Within the Third Page, a vast power poured into Bai Yu’s body.
Then it floated in the air.
The power that surged into Bai Yu’s body began to impact and churn within his limbs and bones.
He could feel that the acupoints he had already opened had become wider!
The key point was that there seemed to be some mysterious connection between these acupoints.
It was like an invisible thread, connecting the acupoints within his body.
He even felt as if he could see his body’s meridians and acupoints directly, as if from a god’s perspective.
It was like a feeling of seeing through everything.
“Hoo~!”
Bai Yu didn’t rush to investigate the enhancements of the other three pages.
He used this power to quickly circulate his Heavenly Cycle!
He had a premonition that his Heavenly Cycle speed had reached an astonishing level.
In the cultivation room.
If an outsider were to observe, they would see that Bai Yu had practically turned into a little golden man.
Even through his clothes, his meridians could be seen emitting golden light.
Between the golden meridians, several small golden balls were spinning at extreme speed, faster and faster.
The first Minor Heavenly Cycle, seven minutes!
To know, after his strength improved, the speed of circulating a Minor Heavenly Cycle was 20 minutes, and a Great Heavenly Cycle took 240 minutes.
Later improvements were slow, and he could never break through to 19 minutes.
Now it was directly compressed to 1/3 of the previous time!
This way, it would only take a little over eighty minutes to complete a Great Heavenly Cycle.
With enough time, he could use this to complete his daily Great Heavenly Cycle task.
He was quite curious if there would be any special rewards for doing so.
He cultivated for an hour and a half, until he completed a Great Heavenly Cycle, and that power also surged and integrated into his body.
Bai Yu’s body began to flash with dazzling lightning, tinged with a faint gold!
“Awesome!”
“Boom~!”
The golden lightning on his body suddenly surged outwards.
Fortunately, the material of this place was quite special and could absorb spiritual energy.
Even so, several walls were somewhat blackened.
“Hahaha~”
He could feel that the opening degree of the five Earth Grade acupoints within his body had directly exceeded 80%.
The Heaven Grade acupoint – Golden Buddha Acupoint had also opened by 30%!
The number of opened acupoints directly increased from 124 to 128.
“Cultivation is so simple!”
“The foundation I’ve built, tsk tsk~!”
Overcoming opponents in earlier stages was because low-level monsters were quick to produce and less difficult.
But to be able to fight Heavenly Yuan in the Fourth Realm and Dharma Phase in the Fifth Realm, that would be truly impressive!
The Alien Races also have their Heaven’s Pride, it’s just that he hasn’t encountered them.
That’s not right! Freya and the other elves are definitely Heaven’s Pride of the same rank, and their combat power is also very strong, surpassing ordinary realms.
After absorbing the power fed back by the Third Page, he also sensed it slightly.
Besides the original two abilities: ① Heavenly Lightning Tempering. ② God of Thunder, activate!
Now a new ability has been added, which Bai Yu named 【Golden Body Technique】.
That is, the power he just experienced, which can cleanse his entire body’s meridians.
When humans consume external things, impurities will inevitably remain in their bodies, blocking the meridians.
Each time the Golden Body Technique is used, it can clear the meridians and make cultivation smoother.
This ability will naturally consume the energy within the Third Page, and it will also shorten the activation time of the God of Thunder.
Fortunately, there is plenty of energy now, enough for him to use ten times.
“Let’s look at the other three pages.”
The First Page has undergone significant changes this time, with techniques like Palm Lightning being improved.
The Palm Lightning, originally with thirty-six acupoints, now has seventy-two acupoints!
The addition of the Heavenly Thunder Acupoint and the Golden Buddha Acupoint, two crucial acupoints, naturally enhances the ability of the Lightning Technique to suppress evil.
Thunder Movement, Thunder Shadow Body, and Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers have all been upgraded to 128 acupoints.
In addition, a new technique has been added: Nine Heavens Thunder Technique!
This technique requires 144 acupoints!
Its effect is equivalent to summoning Thunder Department Celestial beings and borrowing their divine power.
This power can be used to enhance his Spiritual Arts or simply to attack using the Celestial beings’ power.
After understanding the effect of this technique, Bai Yu was stunned.
“Is it that amazing!?”
But looking at the six Heaven Grade acupoints and thirty-six Earth Grade acupoints that needed to be opened, he became honest.
Ordinary people probably can’t achieve this, right?
I’ve only opened five Earth Grade acupoints so far!
“I’d better honestly learn other Spiritual Arts. This one will probably have to wait until the Spirit Yuan Realm to reach Perfection!”
Without further ado, he looked at the Second Page.
This page absorbed the most.
Added ability.
Bai Yu’s eyes lit up after sensing it.
Damn!
Bronze Warrior!
One of the Thirty-Six Heavenly God Formations, the Fish Scale Lightning Formation!
Just by hearing the name, one can roughly guess what the formation is like.
However, the minimum requirement to form this formation is four Bronze Warriors and ten Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers.
“Good heavens! If it’s just Bronze Warriors now, will there be Silver later? And finally, Golden Armored Warriors!”
Just hearing it made him a little excited.
It’s a bit of a pity that with his current strength, he can’t summon many Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers according to the fifteen-level standard.
The consumption to form the formation is also quite large.
But it doesn’t matter, he has the Scepter of Thunder.
Bai Yu didn’t dwell on it too much and looked at the Fourth Page.
Logically, this time, the Fourth Page absorbed nearly 70% of the evil energy, which should have been the most, yet the change was not significant.
In the chaotic Realm.
The lightning was even more violent.
The only change was that in the central area of the Realm, a half-meter-long lightning pillar formed, and occasionally dazzling white lightning struck down.
Bai Yu felt that this thing was as if it were fixed within the page.
He couldn’t control it yet.
“It seems to be just the initial form, more energy is needed!”
“Fortunately, with the Black Demon incident, there’s no shortage of evil energy.”
Then Bai Yu considered what he would do according to his current will.
“It’s three o’clock in the afternoon, and I don’t like to go out at an intermediate time.”
“According to my current thoughts, I will definitely cultivate for a while first, and then explore one of the two Resource Points in the evening.”
“If the Fate Line doesn’t change much, I’ll explore another Resource Point tonight. The last remaining one, is it the Vampire Clan Resource Point I’ll encounter tomorrow?”
“Hoo~! Cultivation first!”
Around five in the afternoon.
As soon as Bai Yu finished cultivating and handed the Soul Beads to Professor Yuan, he asked in surprise, “You absorbed them all?”
“Yes.”
“Really? You’re only in the Qi Gathering Realm, how can you store so much energy? Did the evil energy enter your body? Blink if something’s wrong.”
“This little bit of evil energy, you think you can contend with me?”
“Alright.”
Yuan Guofeng was cautious in his actions; the evil energy in these ten Soul Beads had been processed.
Moreover, the amount given was just right.
He specifically brought them to the cultivation room at the Spiritual Energy Institute because it could detect physical condition.
Bai Yu confirmed he was fine!
Just as Bai Yu was about to go back to have dinner with his teammates and discuss the evening’s plan.
Unexpectedly, the phone rang.
Bai Yu glanced at it; it was Zhang Youpeng’s!
He suddenly remembered that Zhang Youpeng sent him messages every night.
Even though he sometimes didn’t reply, it had never stopped.
He didn’t seem to send a message last night.
He called directly today.
Did something happen?
After answering, Bai Yu tentatively asked, “Hello?”
“Yu Ge!”
Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Why didn’t you send a message last night, you brat?”
“Uh, something happened last night…”
“What? Lost an arm or a leg? Tell me directly, I can still treat these minor issues.”
“Not really. Uh, I’ll tell you one by one, Yu Ge.”
“Alright!”
“The first thing is that things got pretty intense in the city last night, and all of us external personnel were mobilized. Two died at the gym, and seven or eight were injured.”
“??? That serious? How are you?”
“Uh, I’m fine. I killed two ordinary Blood Slaves.”
“Good heavens! Not bad! You’ve all become so strong.”
“It’s all thanks to those super powerful electric guns they issued. But, one guy tried to bite me, his strength was indeed inferior to mine, and I sent him flying, hehe~.”
“What’s your strength now?”
“Three hundred kilograms.”
“??? So fast!?”
“The pills Yu Ge gave me are very effective. And today, a group of people came, seemingly to screen for aptitude. It should be the Martial Arts Class that Yu Ge proposed. I seem to meet the criteria, and they said they’ll take me for training on the 20th.”
This was within Bai Yu’s expectations, as it was mentioned in the intelligence.
He just didn’t understand the official screening criteria yet.
He thought it would require reaching the Qi Gathering Realm.
“Congratulations! The Martial Arts Class is currently a key project for the officials, and it’s the first batch. As long as you proceed steadily, you’ll definitely be a core member in the future.”
Hearing this, Zhang Youpeng also felt a bit moved. He thought that if he officially joined the Martial Arts Class, he would have the confidence to tell his parents about the Extraordinary world.
He also hoped his parents would recognize this in advance and avoid some dangers.
“Hehe! It’s all thanks to Yu Ge’s care!”
“This is all your own ability, I didn’t help much. However, from what I hear, it’s all good news. The reason you didn’t message last night was because you saw your comrades injured? I can only say that given the current situation, you won’t encounter this infrequently in the future.”
“Partly. And also Wang Haobin.”
“??? Did something happen to him?”
“No, no, no. It’s just that last night, something happened to him, and he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. Today he told me he’s directly starting the Third Stage thirty-kilometer training. He ran early in the morning and has already completed it. Uh, Yu Ge, do you want to tell Wang Haobin?”
Bai Yu thought about it. The reason he didn’t tell Wang Haobin was that he felt Wang Haobin’s personality was different, and he was prone to giving up easily.
Telling him directly would not be as impactful as him experiencing it himself!
Now that he’s received some stimulation and knows to increase his training volume, it’s naturally a good start.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu said, “Alright, tell him. But it’s best not to reveal my status to him. Just say I’m slightly stronger than you.”
“In short, don’t let him have the illusion that he can soar by relying on the two of us.”
“Hehe~! Yu Ge, I’m not stupid, I understand these things!”
“Then that’s fine. I’ve been busy elsewhere recently. When we meet again after some time, I’ll give you guys something.”
“Thanks, Yu Ge!”
As for repaying him later, just keep it in mind; saying it again after saying it once would be inappropriate.
“Okay, bye.”
After hanging up, Bai Yu fell into thought.
“It seems that even after a large number of elite members were transferred out of Tianhai City, things are not going well.”
“These people who have just entered the Body Refining Realm are going to face actual combat.”
Bai Yu didn’t dwell on it too much; the important matters he was handling could save many people.
He just needed to do his part.
After dinner.
As expected, they continued to search for Resource Points in the forest around Sancha River.
The last two Resource Points were located southwest of He Tian Village.
Bai Yu naturally followed the principle of proximity, venturing deep into the dense forest, crossing rivers, and arriving at a plain within a mountain.
This terrain could be called a basin, with a dense forest inside, and the trees averaging over 20 meters in height.
“Gurgle gurgle~”
The group walked through the dense forest, passing by streams and stepping on moss-covered stones.
Bai Yu looked at the map he had marked in advance as he walked.
Soon, they arrived at a pool formed by a small waterfall, which was also the source of the stream.
The water was quite calm.
Bai Yu carefully examined the map.
There was no script about a cave hidden behind a waterfall; his marked location was the center of the pool.
Of course, there might be a deviation of ten to twenty meters, but it shouldn’t be too far off.
Bai Yu directly said, “I feel there might be a Resource Point under this water. Or, the underground space directly below might be problematic.”
Hearing this, Yu Rundong and the other strong men put down the underwater detection equipment, rolled up their sleeves, and said, “Then shall we start exploring directly?”
Bai Yu nodded: “Yes! This water looks twenty to thirty meters deep, and it might be connected to some underground river, hiding Sea Monsters. You should be careful.”
“Understood! Don’t worry!”
With that, everyone began to fiddle with the equipment. After the instruments were put into the water for investigation, they found many broken stones at the riverbed, with one area suspected to be blocked.
Seeing this, Yu Rundong and the others immediately jumped in.
“Be careful!”
“Don’t worry.”
Soon, the group dug away the broken stones with their hands and indeed found a downward-sloping opening.
Using a small underwater detector, they followed the complex underground river channel, winding for about a hundred meters, almost going in circles.
According to the coordinates, it was less than twenty meters away from the Resource Point marked by Bai Yu.
It did go twenty to thirty meters deep underground.
Then they encountered an upward passage. After the underwater detector passed through an opening, it entered an underground space that was approximately a five-meter-diameter oblate spheroid.
Due to the presence of a height difference in the communicating vessels, this underground space was naturally filled with water.
However, the surrounding rock walls were covered with ice-blue mushrooms.
Zhao Bin exclaimed excitedly, “Blue Spirit Mushrooms! These mushrooms contain immense Spiritual Energy and are Spiritual Items that almost anyone can consume! They are very rare.”
Seeing this, Bai Yu thought: It’s indeed not a Vampire Clan Resource Point.
Then only the last one remains!
He looked at his Second Page and injected a trace of energy.
The current Tracking Technique has a very large detection range, at least three to four hundred meters.
And the accuracy will be higher.
He thought nothing would happen, but unexpectedly, the page reacted!
Two hundred meters to the South, there are 5-10 unit targets.
Energy reaction of Vampire Clan!
