“Bang!” A gunshot rang out in the lobby all of sudden.
The lobby instantly went silent. The awakened warriors were not scared of regular guns, but when the highest military commander stood on a desk in the lobby area and fired a warning shot, it still made those awakened warriors stop talking. At the same time, Staff Officer Tao and other people also returned to the lobby.
Commander Du shouted loudly, “as the highest military commander here, I am going to mention this again, the red-armored warrior you saw is indeed Mr. Chu, who is also the key person of this entire mission, I have mentioned it so many times, and this is going to be the last time!” He then looked at his watch and said, “in regards to Mr. Chu’s ability, I think we will have an answer soon.”
The skinny old man, who was recruited the earliest, immediately asked, “Commander Du, this is what we are worried about. I haven’t seen his fight in person before, but from what I have heard from other people, who have seen his fight before, although the red-armored warrior is indeed very strong, please keep in mind that in our plan, he needs to distract the flaming monster, not those meat worms and red-eyed monsters.
And from what they saw, his ability is barely enough to kill one and two meat worms. I don’t think that with his ability at the moment, he could withstand the flaming monster’s attack, not to mention that he needed to distract it for one minute.”
Just right after he said this, a man stood out and said, “yes, I agree with this old man, I’ve seen his fight before, although I admire his ability, I think he is still not strong enough to distract the flaming monster. Originally, we were hoping that the man in the grey coat isn’t the red-armored warrior, since you guys did not mention it, so we thought that the guy is stronger than the red-armored warrior, but if you think that with the help of the red-armored warrior, you could convince us that this plan will be successful, then you are wrong.”
“I don’t agree with you!” a female awakened warrior, who was holding a baby interrupted. “I have also seen his fight before, I think you have missed something here. He is the only person I have seen that could use both fire and ice elemental skills. When he fought with a sword, there weren’t any signs of ice or fire elemental energy, but he could use a gun to unleash fire elemental energy and a bow to unleash ice elemental energy. May I ask, has anyone of you seen anyone else could do this kind of thing?! So I believe him and also support Commander Du, Mr. Chu will definitely be able to distract the flaming monster.”
…
Commander Du didn’t know that not only were they worried about Chu Yunsheng’s ability, but they were also questioning the red-armored warrior’s ability. Even if he could prove that Chu Yunsheng was that red-armored warrior now, it still would not help him to solve this commotion. Because to them, they would be just having another stronger team member and that was it. Chu Yunsheng was still far away from being able to deal with the flaming monster.
Those people have been living in this fog city for some time now. They had escaped from dangerous situations countless times, those dangerous experiences only made them become smarter and more cautious. Commander Du also understood this, that was why he didn’t know what to say. He only hoped that Chu Yunsheng would come out to convince those people, otherwise, once those people left, they wouldn’t be able to destroy the cores just by themselves.
But since Chu Yunsheng came back, he just locked himself in the room, and the door was currently guarded by Yao Xiang. Even though Commander Du had asked Staff Officer Tao to ask Chu Yunsheng to come out so many times, there was no response.
Meanwhile, Chu Yunsheng was nervously observing the abnormal changes of his Yuan Qi. He did not have a so-called legendary inner observation ability. He could only try to sense the changes by feeling how Yuan Qi circulated inside his body.
At this moment, he was not sure if he had already entered Yuan Tian Stage Two or not, he only felt that there was some kind of barrier between his body and Yuan Qi, and the barrier was slowly destroyed by Yuan Qi when it circulated inside his body. After the barrier was completely destroyed, he felt that his body and Yuan Qi had been fused together and became a single entity. This was a type of feeling he never had before.
He couldn’t help but think to himself that, ‘if Yuan Tian stage one is about storing Yuan Qi in his body temporarily, then now his body and Yuan Qi is one single entity.’
The whole process of breaking through was very slow, he was trying his best to slowly speed up the Yuan Qi circulation.
All kinds of strange noises soon began to emerge from his body, they were passed to his hearing system through the internal nerves. He felt like he was a castle and it was under the attack of an army of a tremendous amount of Yuan Qi.
Although he did not feel any pain, he could feel that his body was in a very fragile state. Because of this, he was worried that if he used absorption talismans to help him restore Yuan Qi, it would break his body apart.
He could only try to calm himself down, relax his body as much as he could, and let his body slowly absorb Yuan Qi from outside. Only until three hours later did Yuan Qi, which was transforming his body, gradually slowed down and stopped.
After he examined his cultivation status, he found out that he had finally reached the status that was mentioned in the ancient book. According to the ancient book, when he reached Yuan Tian stage two, the degree of Yuan Qi cohesion would be greatly increased. At the moment, he could feel that just a small amount of Yuan Qi inside his body contained an incredible amount of energy. Moreover, his body didn’t act as a storage for Yuan Qi anymore, instead, they had formed a single unity as if Yuan Qi was part of his body.
Based on the ancient book’s description, the result of the Rong Yuan Body transformation would not be very obvious at the early stage of Yuan Tian stage two. In order to transform the Rong Yuan Body completely, he needed to go through five stages of the transformation.
The way Yuan Qi moved inside his body had also changed significantly. Since Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi has been transformed to become a part of his body, It was much easier for Yuan Qi to move inside his body. He also found out that it was the reason why with the same amount of Yuan Qi, it was much weaker when he used it at Yuan Tian stage one.
The senior practitioner, who also was the author of this book, had written down a detailed description of how Yuan Tian stage two should progress.
The benefit of these changes didn’t just apply to his body, it also gave him an ability to make level-three talismans. Because when making those high-level talismans, it was required to use practitioners’ “Ben Ti Yuan Qi”
The most important thing was that he did not need to waste any more energy on remaking the same type of talisman repeatedly, high-level talismans could be used repeatedly as long as he replenished Yuan Qi inside.
Also, the armor and Qian Bi sword were upgraded by him. With the help of Ben Ti Yuan Qi, the armor became thinner, it looked more flexible and lightweight, but the defence ability was greatly increased. Qian Bi sword was also refined. During the refining process, all impure material would be removed from the sword, so Chu Yunsheng had to use all of the red-shelled insects’ shells and claws that had been collected by the troops to maintain the size of the sword.
Moreover, the sword also had its special ability. That ability came from the blue ripples inside the sword. Whenever he used the sword to attack, the blue ripples seemed to be able to swallow up the Yuan Qi inside an energy shield. It made the sword become very effective at destroying energy shields. Compared to what he could do before, now he only needed to infuse less than half a unit of Yuan Qi to kill a red-shelled insect.
That was why when dealing with the flaming monster, whose body was formed of pure Yuan Qi energy, Qian Bi sword could be a very effective tool.
Then Chu Yunsheng tried to recite the incantation for the only Sword Fighting Technique he could understand in the book again and again in his mind, until he had memorized them thoroughly.
He could not test the fighting technique in a small room, so he decided to go outside and find a monster to test the sword fighting technique that he has anticipated for a very long time.
He then thought again, since those people in the lobby wanted to see his ability, why not use this chance to show them what he could do.
