Chapter 342: Chapter 71: 10-Day Breakthrough Magic!
Li Fei stayed at Zhao Yi’s place for a while, waiting for the Dream Command to finish charging. When it was done, he left Zhao Yi with a sum of money, this time a direct payment of thirty thousand:
“One ten thousand is for your daily cultivation, and the other twenty thousand is your reward for the last operation.”
Zhao Yi dumbly accepted the Silver Bank deposit note that Li Fei handed over.
Earning twenty thousand just for taking action once—this price, even for Mages at the Divine Transformation Stage, was not low.
Zhao Yi looked at Li Fei awkwardly, explaining, “Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t take the risk because of you.”
She really didn’t want Li Fei to mistakenly think she did it for him.
It was actually because of the Green-faced Ghost…
“Okay, no misunderstandings, just take the money.”
Li Fei said indifferently, then turned around to leave.
This attitude made Zhao Yi grind her teeth somewhat.
“Um…”
She suddenly called out to Li Fei, “What’s your relationship with the Green-faced Ghost?”
Li Fei turned around to look at her: “What’s up?”
Zhao Yi felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze: “Nothing, just curious.”
“Oh.”
Li Fei’s face was expressionless, “It’s none of your business.”
He left without looking back.
Bang!
As he walked down the stairs, he heard a loud thump against the floor.
…
After leaving Zhao Yi’s place, Li Fei once again used the One Leaf Covering Eyes Technique, followed by the Vajra Seal·Treasure Vase.
Then he went to a base, changed into a different outfit, and put on the Evil Ghost Mask.
Forty minutes later, the Green-faced Ghost silently entered Green-faced Manor.
Going to the dungeon again, just like the previous night, Li Fei began to ‘Observe Tao’ with the help of Liu Wenjun.
After one night, he quietly returned to Wuda.
Early in the morning, after having a meal in the cafeteria, Li Fei entered a classroom.
The classroom was nearly full!
Today’s class was a new one offered by Wen Ke— “Discussion on Unity Technique.”
There were quite a few students in Wuda who had reached the Qi Change Late Stage and were stuck at the ‘Unity’ step, almost all of them signed up for this class.
And some who hadn’t signed up were because they lacked the necessary Academic Points.
Wen Ke had set an entry threshold of 200 points.
Even these talented students present, who had reached the peak of Qi Change, had to spend three or four years to accumulate so many total points.
As Li Fei entered, there was a stir in the classroom; students looked at this unparalleled prodigy with complex eyes.
Having joined the Martial Arts School for just over four months and cultivating for less than two years, he had already reached the same realm as them.
Li Fei found a seat in the front row and sat down.
Moments later, Wen Ke entered the classroom.
She was still dressed in a cheongsam and wearing black-rimmed glasses, intellectual and gentle.
“Today, I am going to teach you a Drawing Silk Skill from the Unity Technique called the Whole Extraction Method…”
Wen Ke got straight to the point and began explaining the Whole Extraction Method.
The Whole Extraction Method involves treating a small part of the Implant’s branches as a whole, directly extracting it from the body’s tissues, then repairing the damaged tissues.
The advantage of this method is its convenience and speed; the downside is the risk of injury, and the body’s tissues, where the Implant’s branches left ‘channels,’ may not be fully restored, which could cause problems in the operation of Innate Qi and the use of Extraordinary Abilities.
However, Li Fei had the Observing Freedom Method, which allowed him to imprint all of those ‘channels’ in his mind beforehand and then restore them one by one afterward.
This required an extreme level of perception ability, not missing a single detail, and only the Observing Freedom Method could satisfy this demand.
Listening to Wen Ke’s explanation of the Whole Extraction Method, Li Fei had a sudden flash of insight.
Actually, compared to others, his biggest advantage was having the Myriad Blood Pearl to take on damage.
If others’ ‘Unity’ was like taking out a tangle of threads from inside a block of tofu while not damaging the tofu itself,
Then Li Fei’s was like taking a tangle of iron wires out of a block of iron…
With the Myriad Blood Pearl absorbing the damage, both his body’s tissues and the Implant were unlikely to be damaged.
Of course, since both were very ‘hard,’ he couldn’t take the ‘iron wires’ out.
In the future when using the Drawing Silk Skill, he would also have to cut off the connection with the Myriad Blood Pearl first.
But he could consider the Myriad Blood Pearl as a backup, meaning, if there were any mistakes during the operation, he could immediately re-establish the connection and thus share the damage over.
With the Myriad Blood Pearl as a safeguard, the Observing Freedom Method, and Liu Wenjun to ‘Observe Tao’ in advance to accumulate experience, Li Fei felt that his speed to achieve ‘Unity’ might be unimaginably fast!
And at this moment, while listening to Wen Ke explain the Whole Extraction Method, Li Fei suddenly had a bold idea.
If he followed his original plan, he might still need several months to complete ‘Unity’.
And with this idea in mind, he might need only ten days to complete his breakthrough!
The number of Blood Souls in the Myriad Blood Pearl was closely related to Li Fei’s Life Force. However, because the Myriad Blood Pearl absorbed 99% of any damage he received, Li Fei hardly seemed injured.
If Li Fei severed his connection with the Myriad Blood Pearl, the number of Blood Souls inside would decrease in proportion to the injuries he suffered.
It wasn’t the case where Li Fei could disconnect from the Myriad Blood Pearl, have his head chopped off by someone, then reconnect with the Myriad Blood Pearl the next second, and because there were still many Blood Souls, he could live a long time after his head had fallen off.
Whether or not Li Fei severed his connection with the Myriad Blood Pearl, the number of Blood Souls was closely related to his Life Force.
This meant that if the Myriad Blood Pearl could recover all Blood Souls within ten days, it implied another meaning: no matter how severe Li Fei’s injuries, as long as he was still breathing, he could fully recover within ten days!
The ‘Ten-day Breakthrough Method’ that Li Fei had suddenly thought of was based on this point:
He wanted to perform an extreme version of the ‘Whole Extraction Method’, not extracting the Implant fragments little by little from his body tissues, but crudely digging out all the Implant branches directly!
Then he would wait ten days for the damaged body tissues and the Implant to fully repair themselves.
In this way, his ‘Unity’ would be achieved!
Of course, there were many details to consider, such as how to ensure he wouldn’t die on the spot? How to collect the extracted Implant branches? How to ensure that during the body tissue repair process, those ‘channels’ would be preserved in their original state?
But the more Li Fei thought about it, the more he felt this method was feasible, and he started getting excited.
A class was 50 minutes long. While listening to the lecture, Li Fei continued to contemplate his ‘Ten-day Breakthrough Method’ and time flew by unnoticed.
After Wen Ke announced the end of the class, Li Fei hurried back to his dormitory and began to ponder deeply.
Over two hours later, Li Fei stopped reflecting; he had preliminary perfected his plan.
Firstly, the ‘Blood Spring’. The Blood Souls stored inside would be his greatest reliance, ensuring that even if something went wrong, he wouldn’t die immediately.
Next, refining his technique and theory. He still needed to continue learning the ‘Whole Extraction Method’ and, through Liu Wenjun, accumulate experience in collecting the Implant.
Lastly, the ‘channels’ inside his body tissues. The Myriad Blood Pearl’s repair likely wouldn’t restore these ‘channels’, which meant Li Fei had to find a solution himself.
The solution he came up with so far was to first locate all channels using the ‘Observing Freedom Method’, and then to cover these channels with Innate Qi, thus replicating the channels with Innate Qi.
After the body tissue’s recovery, his Innate Qi simply needed to occupy these positions.
This maneuver was naturally very difficult and required repeated verification, but Li Fei felt it was worth a try!
In the afternoon, he entered Mo Yizhou’s laboratory again to begin ‘solving the problem’.
Today’s session was a bit shorter than yesterday’s. After finding the solution, Mo Yizhou glanced over it, and like yesterday, he wrote a great deal of content on a blank sheet of paper.
After he finished writing, he handed the paper to Li Fei:
“This is the final problem.”
Li Fei, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned. He took the paper and found that the difficulty of the problem had increased significantly, and the number of herbs to research had multiplied!
He already knew what Mo Yizhou was up to. The latter was attempting to replicate the poison formula used on Zhang Zongyang, to understand what raw materials were needed to create such a poison, and finally to trace the culprit based on these materials.
Mo Yizhou had completed the majority of the preliminary work and thrown two problems to Li Fei. Seeing that Li Fei could fully take over, he tossed the final task directly to him.
If you want the answer, solve it yourself.
“Isn’t Professor Mo solving it anymore?”
Li Fei asked.
Mo Yizhou shook his head: “I have more important things to do. Once you’ve solved it, tell me the answer.”
“Okay.”
Li Fei nodded.
Mo Yizhou had simply agreed to help the Inspection General Office and wasn’t interested in the answer to the problem.
By handing the final problem to Li Fei, he granted Li Fei the initiative.
After solving the problem, Li Fei might find the murderer’s trail first!
“Thank you, Professor Mo.”
Li Fei gave a formal bow and left the laboratory with the paper.
Inside the lab, Mo Yizhou continued his work with unwavering concentration, not looking up.
…
That night, Li Fei left Wuda alone once again, planning to take a few detours before visiting Green-faced Manor.
As he entered a bustling district, that sense of being watched returned.
This made Li Fei immediately think of the previous night’s events.
“It seems they scouted the area last night and are ready to make their move tonight?”
He continued to walk nonchalantly, leaving the bustling area and entering a deserted alley.
Not far away, on the roof of a building, ‘Shell Casing’ was cleaning his gun.
It was a modified Eagle Strike III Rifle with a 10.8mm caliber, a maximum effective range of 800 meters, and a maximal muzzle velocity of 950 meters per second.
‘Shell Casing’ never chose a shooting distance beyond 200 meters, meaning he could ensure that once he fired a shot, it would take roughly 0.3 seconds to hit the target!
“Huff—”
‘Shell Casing’ exhaled deeply, stood up, glanced at the street below, and quickly found his target.
“Here it comes!”
