Chapter 381: 380: Exercise Muscles and Bones, Show Your Skills

Shao Junyi may be only a second-order supernatural ability user, but as the daughter of the bureau chief, she had access to more information than the average member. She was even privy to some secrets.

She had heard of rare geniuses capable of utilizing two to three supernatural abilities, but even then, they merely knew how to use them rather than mastered them.

The idea of someone like Bai Hongtu, who could unleash a power on par with a fourth-order ability, or even stronger, with just a single finger, was a concept that she wouldn’t even dare to think, let alone hear of.

Moreover, this person named Bai Hongtu had the ability to regenerate from a single drop of blood-Dying and then instantly coming back to life? This was simply beyond her scope of understanding.

She secretly relayed this information to her father.

“You said that you can do something like Primordial Spirit Ascension…what does ‘Primordial Spirit’ mean?” Shao Junyi had never heard of this term.

“It’s the congenital divine energy that comes with birth… No point trying to simplify it for you, let me show you instead.”

Bai Hongtu closed his eyes, with white mist rising from the top of his head, forming a Primordial Spirit that turned into dazzling light and traveled thousands of miles.

Shortly after, Bai Hongtu’s Primordial Spirit returned, holding a blue fruit in its hand.

At the Divinity Transformation Stage, one could achieve Primordial Spirit Ascension, but they could only roam around at that stage, fearing sunlight, and were unable to carry anything, so there were quite a few drawbacks.

But the Primordial Spirit at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage could overcome these shortcomings.

“What I have here is the Blue Dream Fruit, from two thousand miles south. It must be eaten within an hour of picking, otherwise it will rot. It’s a fruit that only locals can taste!”

Shao Junyi had once been to that place and tasted the Blue Dream Fruit, the flavor of which had left a deep impression on her.

Peng Lianghai had also not expected Bai Hongtu to be that strong.

“In just a few minutes, you were able to travel eight thousand miles?” Shao Junyi gawked at Bai Hongtu as if she was seeing a monster.His abilities were beyond any supernatural power she could fathom.

This could no longer be described as a supernatural power; it was more appropriate to call it a miracle.

“I was actually moving slow.” Bai Hongtu’s Primordial Spirit waved its hand, then returned to its body.

“Wait, what? Someone was able to regenerate from blood? Display multiple supernatural abilities? And move at high speed, irrespective of obstacles?!” Shao Junyi’s father immediately stood up.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was relayed to him by his own daughter, he would have believed someone was fooling him.

Shao Junyi’s father rushed to the monitoring room, extracted the surveillance footage, and watched Bai Hongtu’s performance, which did not differ much from his daughter’s account.

“Who…who exactly is this person?” Shao Junyi’s father initially suspected that Bai Hongtu was dispatched by some heretical organization, but quickly ruled out that possibility.

The person’s strength was immeasurable and it was unlikely that a heretical organization would send someone so conspicuous.

“By the way, what did he say his supernatural ability was?” Shao Junyi’s father called over two supernatural ability users who could detect lies and asked them about his account.

“Cultivation…” At first, Shao Junyi’s father found the term vaguely familiar but could not recall where he had heard it. It didn’t take him long to remember and he widened his eyes in shock.

“Cultivation!”

He had read about ‘cultivation’ in an ancient text.

The text stated that in an age of uncivilized culture, a supernatural ability user far more powerful than the fifth-order was born. His ability was his eyes, or rather the ability to see far-off places.

This ancient supernatural ability user’s vision pierced through the universe and world barriers, allowing him to behold the sights of another world.

The continents in that world were vast, with monsters roaring in the sky, celestial beings who could pick stars and catch moons, traversing the universe at will. There were many celestial beings who could casually tear space apart, the abilities that these supernatural ability users painstakingly master their whole life were nothing but common attacks in their hands.

The ancient supernatural ability user also saw that after certain individuals endured the Heavenly Tribulation, they bathed in golden light, ascended a golden ladder, and disappeared from sight.

He wanted to see what was above the golden ladder, but his vision had its limits and he could not see it all.

The ancient supernatural ability user soon lost his sight from overusing his ability, and could no longer see that other world.

The text further stated that before he died, the ancient supernatural ability user kept muttering, “Cultivation …The Nine Provinces … In my next life … I really want to go to that world …”

This ancient text was treated as a fantasy novel, a joke made by ancient people. No one took it seriously, let alone studied it.

It was hard to believe that any creature could be that powerful.

If what was mentioned in the text was true, does that mean the methods they used to train their supernatural abilities were wrong?

It was extremely hard for supernatural ability users to learn to control an ability such as fire. Could it be that there are people for whom controlling fire, gold, wood, water, and earth are as easy as waving their hands? Doesn’t this render all of the efforts of these supernatural ability users a joke?

“Could the information in the ancient text actually be true?”

“What’s next in the test?” Bai Hongtu asked, excitedly flexing his muscles, ready to continue showing off.

“The next is testing strength.”

“That’s easy, I can lift a barbell of any weight.”

“Then how about arm wrestling with him.”

Shao Junyi pointed to Jiang Li.

Bai Hongtu went stiff, his smile freezing on his face.

Jiang Li was also excited and full of energy, ready to go.

He rolled up his sleeves, putting his arm on the table and said, “Come.

Bai Hongtu reluctantly placed his arm on the table too.

Seeing the two of them ready, Shao Junyi waved her hand and called out, “Begin!”

Bai Hongtu slowly closed his eyes and emptied his mind. He imagined himself floating through endless space, his body weightless.

At this moment, he thought of his rough journey, of his pride and joy when he became the Sect Master of the Dao Sect, the many preparations he made to defeat Jiang Li, the meetings he had with other powerful beings to discuss how to defeat Jiang Li, the earnest teachings of the Long-Lived Old Man, and his carefree childhood days…

Bai Hongtu opened his eyes suddenly, his gaze piercing, his aura full of intimidation.

“I carry the hopes of many people on my shoulders. I cannot lose, Jiang Li, I will defeat you!”

Boom–

Bai Hongtu was forced down into the ground by Jiang Li, unable to even rise back up.

“That’s not right. Don’t they always say in books that when facing an invincible enemy, by reflecting on the past, one can achieve a breakthrough on the battlefield, surpassing oneself and defeating the enemy?”

“It seems your strength is not as exaggerated as I believed.” Seeing that Bai Hongtu finally showed a weakness, Shao Junyi breathed a sigh of relief.

She had previously thought that Bai Hongtu was invincible.

On that note, didn’t someone proclaim themselves as unbeatable before?

“The next is the final test, combat simulation.”

Shao Junyi took the three of them to the combat training ground. Here, third-order supernatural ability users would act as instructors to test the abilities of newcomers.

“Speak! What is your heretic cult planning in Sea City!”

In the interrogation room, two interrogators fiercely beat the heretical cult member captured by Peng Lianghai.

The two interrogators were panting heavily, while the captured heretic cult member remained stubbornly silent despite the traumatic punishment.

The heretic cult member sneered coldly and said, “Why would I ever reveal our heretic cult’s… Ah, no, our Supernatural Ability God Church’s plan to you.”

“To be honest, your companion has already confessed. If you confess now and considering that you have behaved well, we could let you off…”

“Will you spare my life?”

“We will leave your body intact.”

“You have killed countless people, and you are still hoping to live? Let me tell you, no one who enters this interrogation room has ever come out alive!”

The cult disciple was silent for a moment, then asked, “…But I have seen you guys coming out of here many times.”

“Beat him! Beat him mercilessly!”
