Chapter 82: Palm Lightning Major Accomplishment! Black Blood Pregnant Woman Case
It was five in the afternoon.
Bai Yu tempered his body using the lightning force within the Scepter of Thunder, then let out a deep sigh.
“It still doesn’t feel as good as the effect of heavenly lightning.”
Bai Ling’s voice rang out at this moment, “Heavenly lightning is the most primal lightning-attribute spiritual energy in the world. The lightning force within the item in Brother Bai Yu’s hand is relatively more mixed.”
“The most primal lightning-attribute spiritual energy in the world, huh?”
As he said this, Bai Yu clenched his right fist, his arm muscles bulging, and faint electric arcs coiled around his right arm.
It looked extremely domineering and cool.
Simply awesome!
“When the time is right, I’ll undergo a true heavenly lightning tempering, a tribulation without interruption!”
He then looked at the first golden page.
Under the reinforcement of the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique, he quickly learned the four routes of Palm Lightning.
These four routes corresponded to four different abilities.
First, increase range, which means increasing spiritual energy output.
Second, Lightning Cage, to trap enemies.
Third, increase quantity, allowing multiple attacks to be released simultaneously.
Fourth, instantaneous burst, which can also be considered detonating lightning energy to produce an explosive effect, and it is the most powerful ability!
He had learned all four of these, but he could currently only combine the increase range and Lightning Cage abilities.
As for the other abilities, they could only be released individually.
It was like a process of permutation and combination.
“The biggest gain today was finding two new techniques in the golden page!”
Heavenly Thunder Summon requires 44 acupoints. In terms of effect, it releases an extremely thick bolt of lightning, unleashing extremely high single-target damage.
Furthermore, during thunderstorms, it can guide heavenly lightning to unleash even more terrifying power.
Five Thunders Decree is quite unique, resembling a formation, requiring a full 72 acupoints.
“They all seem difficult to learn, but at least I have to take it step by step.”
“Let’s go to the training room first and see my Great Might Heavenly Thunder Palm!”
Inside the Seventh Group’s training room.
The five members of the second team were training here.
After a simple greeting, Bai Yu found a suitable spot and prepared to test it out.
Wei Yunfei, the captain of the second team, noticed this and immediately became interested.
He had witnessed the newcomer’s strength during the Cloud Lake Battle a few days ago.
“Captain, how long do you think it will take for this newcomer to surpass you?”
Wei Yunfei’s face darkened, “You brat! You should be worried about whether this newcomer has already surpassed you.”
Everyone paid a lot of attention to Bai Yu, the genius who had recently joined the group.
Or rather, no matter where it is, geniuses always attract attention.
The five members of the second team all stopped what they were doing and watched with curiosity.
Bai Yu naturally noticed this scene and felt a little pressure.
However, he wasn’t afraid.
He had the Scepter of Thunder as a safety net.
And the spiritual art from the second page – Gungnir!
He had used this ability during the Cloud Lake Battle and when fighting the Dragon River Woman. When released with the Scepter of Thunder, its power was astonishing.
He estimated that if he went all out now, it would have the power of Level 12-13.
Level 10 was the normal upper limit for ordinary Qi Gathering Realm cultivators; he was a pure, overpowered, cheat-type player.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Yu’s right hand was enveloped in thunder.
Palm Lightning – Thunder Break!
This was a cool, domineering name he had come up with.
The thunder transformed into a giant ball of electricity and blasted forward.
Upon contact with the test wall, it suddenly went ‘bang,’ and all the lightning force was released in an instant.
An astonishing shockwave rippled outwards.
Feeling the force of this shockwave, the discussions among the second team members ceased.
This newcomer is too awesome!?
Then they looked at the test data on the side.
【 Destructive Power: Level 8.1-10.2
Energy Level: 150-220】
“Good heavens! You’re only three levels behind the captain.”
Seeing this, Wei Yunfei felt a bit embarrassed. He was the captain of the second team, but he felt like he would be surpassed by the newcomer before long.
A bit embarrassing!
But he couldn’t do anything about it since the other person had such high talent.
“By the way, aren’t we going to have a new captain soon?”
“That would be great! I see this newcomer has the potential to soar; following him will definitely be promising.”
“Oh ho~ Have I been training you guys too little lately? Come on! Everyone, train harder today!”
Seeing this, Bai Yu also felt a bit excited.
He remembered the data from his last visit here with Sister Feifei was:
【 Destructive Power: Level 5.6-6.9
Energy Level: 100-120】
He hadn’t expected it to increase by a full three levels this time!
‘The explosive ability of Palm Lightning is quite fierce. The power is indeed high! However, my control isn’t great, and the upper limit of energy I can mobilize isn’t high.’
‘But no matter what, I’m not dragging the team down anymore.’
Just then, Liu Feifei walked in.
She had originally intended to see what level she could reach after using the Fire Whip recently, but she saw Bai Yu testing.
Looking at the results, she was quite shocked.
“Are these the test results?”
Seeing Sister Feifei, Bai Yu excitedly said, “Haha, how is it? I haven’t even used the Scepter of Thunder yet. Sister Feifei, how about we have a competition? Maybe I can win this time!”
Liu Feifei put her hands on her hips and said, “I won’t bully you, Sister, lest your confidence be shattered. I have something to do, bye-bye~”
With that, Liu Feifei darted away. Bai Yu smiled and followed her, as he still had his running task for the day to complete.
On the way running around the Investigation Bureau building.
Bai Yu noticed a problem.
‘Why have the number of people running increased?’
‘Good heavens! The First Squad of the Ninth Group is also running?’
Hu Chengyong rhythmically shouted, “One, two, one! Everyone run! Look at you all! You can’t even run ten meters per second! Have you been riding in cars too much? From now on, you’ll patrol on foot every night!”
Bai Yu: Uh, is this the ‘bad’ influence I’ve started?
While running, he bumped into Liu Ruoxi, who was also running.
She was just passing by, and Bai Yu didn’t speak to her proactively.
After all, the original host had pursued Liu Ruoxi, and interacting now would be like continuing that pursuit.
Simply put: it felt like they couldn’t go back to being just friends.
He was outstanding, and Liu Ruoxi was perfect in every aspect.
The more this was the case, the more it felt like avoiding suspicion, like they weren’t truly at ease.
However, Liu Ruoxi matched Bai Yu’s pace and ran alongside him, seemingly speaking to the air, “Thank you for what happened last night!”
Last night, she had learned more about the details of the attack from Sister Wanqing and Sister Feifei. Although it wasn’t very clear, in summary, it was all arranged by Bai Yu in advance.
Bai Yu glanced at Liu Ruoxi’s damp hair and thought: Avoiding suspicion makes it seem like she’s guilty, not truly at ease.
There are thousands of beautiful women in the world; if he really wanted to find one, there were many better than Liu Ruoxi.
Thinking this, Bai Yu calmly replied, “Just saying thank you isn’t enough.”
Liu Ruoxi’s bright eyes blinked at Bai Yu, her expression always carrying a faint smile, making it impossible to discern her true thoughts.
To be honest, she was very beautiful, and with the charm from that party, she was indeed very attractive.
For someone who was the center of attention, who wouldn’t want to be the one to reach for the stars?
Bai Yu wasn’t like the protagonists in old novels, where everyone else leered at beautiful women while the protagonist had pure eyes.
He also appreciated beautiful women and had watched plenty of short videos.
However, at this moment, his state of mind was more tranquil; with talent and strength, his heart had gained a sense of calm and composure.
He wouldn’t have too many emotional fluctuations.
Liu Ruoxi seemed to ponder for a moment and then asked, “How about I treat you to a meal? To repay those meals from back then.”
“No need. I’m a bit busy lately and might not have time. However, as a thank you, you can answer one question for me.”
“What question?”
“It’s about inviting you to dinner back then. I’m curious, from the perspective of a wealthy young lady, was that kind of behavior ridiculous?”
“Why would you think it was ridiculous?”
“It’s nothing, I’m just asking. If you answer this question, it’ll be considered repayment for the favor regarding this attack case.”
“Alright~”
Her tone this time, unlike her usual aloofness, had a hint of coquettishness.
They ran a full ten kilometers.
Liu Ruoxi’s explanation for the meal back then was: some things had happened at home, so she was in a bad mood and wanted to interact with more people, make more friends, and experience different lives. This was to prevent her from becoming too detached from society due to the existence of the extraordinary world.
However, most people approached her with ulterior motives, making it difficult to become friends.
Bai Yu wasn’t the only guy she had eaten with.
At that time, there were even rumors that some people had successfully pursued Liu Ruoxi, but the original host hadn’t paid attention.
Bai Yu: ‘Meow meow meow! The original host didn’t even pay attention to these things? He actually thought it was a hint for him.’
‘But it doesn’t matter. You can rest in peace now, and your former goddess is at least not unattainable.’
‘For me, it’s like resolving a karmic debt for my brother.’
While running together, Bai Yu naturally thought of Liu Ruoxi’s father’s situation, but it wasn’t appropriate to mention it now.
Otherwise, if Liu Ruoxi’s emotions fluctuated drastically, she would definitely want to see him in person. But her father had a special identity, and she couldn’t contact him now.
The mysterious person who intervened during the attack mentioned in the intelligence was 99.9% likely Liu Ruoxi’s father.
Liu Jun clearly didn’t want to show himself, so why should he forcefully interfere?
“Beep beep beep~”
Bai Yu’s phone rang, and he stopped.
Upon closer inspection, it was a message from Zhang Youpeng.
“Report, Brother Yu! Wang Haobin started training today. He exercised for a total of five hours and ran fourteen kilometers. He also completed other exercises.”
“Oh ho~ Not bad! How about you?”
“Hehe~ Brother Yu, I have some good news.”
“What good news?”
“My strength has broken through 200 kilograms!”
Hearing this data, Bai Yu was stunned.
He clearly remembered this guy was at 89kg before.
“How did you improve so quickly? Did you take drugs or stimulants? I’ve only been sending you Ten Spirit Nourishing Soup every day.”
“Brother Wang Gang said I might actually have a special bloodline! That’s why I improved so quickly.”
Bai Yu was clearly surprised by this message.
Is it true or not?
Others say I’m cheating, but it turns out you’re the one who’s actually cheating, right?
But Wang Gang also said he awakened a bloodline before, and it feels like everyone is saying that, so it’s not entirely reliable.
But he couldn’t dampen the mood.
“Congratulations, congratulations! As expected of my brother!”
He was naturally excited that someone he was scouting had such talent; perhaps they could come and be his teammate.
After a brief chat, Bai Yu put away his phone, as Liu Ruoxi was still nearby, and it wouldn’t be polite to keep her waiting.
As he put away his phone, he suddenly remembered that he had just run eleven kilometers, and Liu Ruoxi had kept up without looking tired.
He couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, we’ve run over ten kilometers, why aren’t you tired? I remember Liu Feifei said you couldn’t become a transcendent.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu realized he had said the wrong thing. Not being able to become a transcendent was definitely a sensitive issue.
However, Liu Ruoxi didn’t seem unhappy. She just said, “My meridians are blocked, so I can’t enter the Qi Gathering Realm. But with the help of my father and two older brothers, and eating quite well normally, my strength and stamina are okay~”
“Okay.”
He had previously received information from Liu Feifei that Liu Ruoxi had a special physique and couldn’t cultivate.
He instinctively thought she was frail and often ill, but it turned out to be blocked meridians! Maybe some injections could clear them.
But Bai Yu suddenly realized he hadn’t eaten dinner yet and had to start his official patrol tonight.
Meow meow meow, women really cause trouble!
Let’s eat first.
Eight in the evening.
In the patrol car.
As soon as Bai Yu got into the car, he felt something was wrong.
Liu Feifei asked gossipingly, “How did it go?”
Bai Yu rolled his eyes. So, their running had been seen.
He thought for a moment and said, “Having someone to walk with does feel quite comforting. However, I want to make it clear, I don’t have that kind of intention right now. Don’t try to force us together, or it’ll end unpleasantly!”
“Ooh~ Ooh~ Ooh~”
Bai Yu: Is gossip a human instinct?
“I’m serious, don’t try to set us up. It’s best to let things happen naturally. I suspect she approached me because you guys arranged it.”
Jiang Chen and the others chimed in, “Based on my experience, what you’re saying is clearly problematic! You’re just saying one thing and meaning another.”
But Zhao Bin mercilessly mocked, “You haven’t dated anyone yet, have you? Where does your experience come from?”
“Uh, I, I dated someone in elementary school!”
Bai Yu burst out laughing, “Hahaha~”
Before everyone could relax, the communicator rang.
“A pregnant woman at Xiangya Hospital bled black blood during childbirth, suspected to be related to the Black Blood Case being investigated in North City. Please send nearby squads immediately!”
Pregnant woman, black blood!
They had seen this case this afternoon, and it was handled by the Yunbei District Investigation Bureau.
Because it was related to Lei Wenjie and Sun Yi, Bai Yu remembered it clearly.
More importantly, this case occurred not only in a crowded hospital but also involved a pregnant woman of sensitive status! It required special vigilance.
Li Yunbin accepted the mission without hesitation.
Ordinary investigators and law enforcement officers would also need to go to maintain order.
Xiangya Hospital.
Hospitals, as special locations, have seen the most supernatural events since the Spiritual Qi Awakening, so they are equipped with special rooms and Transcendent personnel.
By the time Bai Yu and the others arrived, the patient had already been arranged for.
And the impact of this incident was minimized. As everyone entered the hospital, everything was as usual, and people didn’t realize what had happened.
Led by a Director with Qi Gathering Realm strength, they arrived at the seventh floor of the surgical building, in a special isolation ward.
This Director was named Su Changhua, and he had been dealing with supernatural events for 8 years.
The pregnant woman in the isolation ward had a very swollen belly, and her entire body’s meridians appeared black.
The key point was that under these weird circumstances, the pregnant woman was still somewhat conscious, constantly crying out in pain, talking incessantly, and sometimes rambling incoherently, giving the impression of a horror movie.
At this moment, two nurses were trying their best to comfort her.
