I can return to the age of mysterious
Chapter 183 - 183 138 Peak Strength (4000)_2

Chapter 183: 138 Peak Strength (4000)_2 Chapter 183: 138 Peak Strength (4000)_2 Once upgraded, he dusts off his butt and scampers off in an instant.

As for the few families, if they were rational and chose not to pursue him, that would be fine. But if they impulsively sought revenge, Casio wouldn’t mind personally wiping out the debts himself.

As the saying goes.

If you kill your creditors, you won’t be in debt anymore.

On another day, in the eastern part of the Black Rain Villa.

The Iron Blood Bar.

In a secluded corner near the back door.

A tall man dressed in a cloak sitting in front of a table enjoying a drink. He seemed very mysterious and quiet, his cold demeanor oddly contrasting the boisterous atmosphere surrounding him.

Casio glanced at the burly man next to him who was indulging in his drink, his expressive chest hair dripping with ice-cold alcohol. He put his glass down with a thud, and let out a content shout.

In a far corner, a man and a woman who were Markers started kissing after a few drinks, behaving promiscuously in front of everyone.

Some others were drinking while playing small games.

This is how the Eerie Night Guests behaved. In the face of impending death, people always sought to relax. Drinking, fighting, or women…

Casio took a sip of his drink, his fingers tapping on the table.

He was waiting for someone.

At the entrance, a short, thin, redhead man walked in. He was skinny and rather unattractive. Scanning the bar, he headed straight towards Casio. Casio also rose and silently walked towards the back door. They immediately found themselves behind the bar.

It was a secluded alley, relatively quiet.

“I’ve contacted them for you. A sub-division of the Beast Style, called the Black Wolf Club, they also do this business. Plus, there is another sub-division from the Mercury Flow, the Grim Reaper Eye, but they operate on a smaller scale and you may only get a small amount of Dark Source if you want to borrow…” The redhead spoke quietly to Casio.

“As long as I can borrow, I don’t mind the small scale.”

Casio responded in a deadpan tone.

“Right, this is the address they use for trading and the business hours are also mentioned.” The redhead immediately handed over two slips of paper.

Casio took them and tucked them into his coat. Then he pulled out a stack of Federal Paper Money from his pocket and handed it to the redhead.

“Pleasure doing business.”

The redhead smiled and stuffed the money into his pocket.

“Pleasure doing business.”

Casio even obliged the redhead with a handshake. With his help, Casio had obtained contacting information for five usury loans. He was sure he would be able to collect a large amount of Source in the end.

It’s not interesting to trick people.

Casio preferred to beat the loansharks at their own game.

But for now, he didn’t plan to run away. He had the contacts in his hand, and it didn’t matter when he borrowed the Source.

The next day.

Casio left the same way with Iri.

But this time was different from before, the Black Rain Villa did not take action against Casio, perhaps because he had accepted the Atonement Mission. Anyhow, right until he left the Rain World, Casio didn’t encounter any danger and safely returned to the real world.

And this time, he not only brought back an Atonement Mission that lasted six months but also numerous additional tasks.

With Casio’s rising strength, doing Shield Rank tasks seemed as easy as eating and drinking, no challenge at all.

Time flies, and four months passed by in a blink of an eye.

Federation Calendar 107, June 10th.

Black Rain Villa, Baptism Church.

In a secluded and dark secret room.

A burly man with a bare upper body was slowly practicing his boxing method, his high lifted leg slowly stepping on the ground. “Thud!”

The floor shook and a shadow flickered past his arm. Then there followed the sharp screeching sound of air being cut, the air currents rushing wildly.

A powerful straight fist was halted mid-air.

Suddenly, at the wall some two to three meters away, with a “pop” sound.

That was the aura of the fist thrown just now.

Casio slowly retracted his fist. Though his chest was pulsing rhythmically, like drum beats, due to the breathing method of the Elephant Soul Secret Technique. With a faint white mist swirling about his nostrils, a deep rumble came forth from his chest, resembling the low roar of an elephant, eliciting a sense of heaviness.

Ho…

Casio opened his eyes. His mastery over the Wind Elephant Fist had improved gradually over the past four months, showing a minor increase.

“Wind Elephant Fist: Elephant Herd 71.2% (total of three levels)” →

“Wind Elephant Fist: Elephant Herd 74.8% (Total of three levels)”

If the Elephant Herd chapter were divided into five steps, Casio would now be one step away, drawing closer to the level of a fighter.

In the dimness, he reached out his large hand to pat the muscles on his shoulders, resulting in a sound that reminded one of two coarse stones rubbing against each other.

Casio’s towering figure seemed to be covered in a layer of faint white stone, exuding an indescribable sense of sturdy hardness.

This was him in a normal state. If Casio were to fully activate his Hard Qigong, it would be as if he was truly encased in an armor.

Although it reduced his flexibility, his defensive power rose dramatically.

“Stone Armor Skill: Major Accomplishment in Light Armor (Total of two levels)” →

“Stone Armor Skill: Major Accomplishment in Heavy Armor (Total of two levels)”

In the span of four months, the Hard Qigong increased from major accomplishment in light armor to major accomplishment in heavy armor.

This two-level skill had reached its peak and couldn’t be improved further.

At this point, Casio had reached the limit of the Stone Armor skill.

Skin Hardening Level Two: Due to the cultivation of Hard Qigong, the muscles at the body’s surface are tougher, and the skin is harder. It significantly improves defensive abilities and resistance to blows, able to withstand…

With this Hard Qigong, if Casio went all out, even a machine gun would not be able to break through his defense!

In the secret room, his breathing gradually leveled out.

He finished his warm-up and adjusted himself to the optimal state.

After sitting cross-legged, Casio glanced at the upper right corner.

“Elephant Soul Secret Technique: Ant Bite 61.7% (Total of three tiers)”

He then felt the abundant Secret Soul power within him.

Without any hesitation, he steadied his mind. A bulk of his Secret Soul power exploded in an instant, covering every inch and corner of Casio’s body.

In an instant, the familiar process of strengthening repeated itself.

In a sense, practicing Secret Martial Art is a continuous process of communication and tempering with the body. In this process, the physique continuously grows stronger, much like training an unruly mob into a disciplined, formidable army.

Forge weapons for the army, increasing the physical strength.

Equip the army with armor, enhancing the physique’s defense.

Train the army’s discipline, improving the control over strength.

Casio now felt like a general, striving to coordinate everything to optimize the structure of the army. And most importantly, nourish every soldier to be robustly built.

In the secret room, a muscular man sat bare-chested. His robust muscles appeared red and undulated like waves.

Sweat fell from him like a broken thread, producing a pitter-patter sound as it hit the ground. The area around him was already damp.

A small white vortex formed each time the man breathed through his nostrils, and from his heaving chest came a sound like an elephant’s call.

With his eyes shut tight, Casio felt hot one moment and cold the next. One second he felt as if he were bathing in icy water, and the next, as if he had fallen into a volcano. The sensations of extreme cold and blistering heat stimulated his senses wildly, tormenting him.

Three points were particularly excruciating.

The navel, the heart, and the brow.

At this moment, a stream of blistering hot air was violently darting between these three points, each node acting as a slingshot, constantly accelerating the stream of hot air. As a result, each time the hot air passed a node, it would swipe across the bones and internal organs at a faster pace.

It left in its wake pain akin to being cut with a knife.

Apart from the stream of hot air, the blood in Casio’s body was also accelerating between two points. Between the heart and the navel, the thick red blood bolted through the blood vessels at an extremely fast speed. At this moment, without him triggering his blood acceleration state, his blood had automatically accelerated to three times its normal pace, and even continued to climb.

A ripping pain came from within Casio’s body.

But he could feel it.

A sort of perfect and complete change was taking place.

The blood accelerated.

The air stream accelerated.

Round after round, the speed increased bit by bit.

Until at one moment!

The blood acceleration completely broke through three times, reaching four times!

Hum!!!

There was a hum in his brain, as if it had been hammered.

An invisible vortex unfolded from his brow, the paths of the hot air stream and blood overlapped, their frequencies merging into one.

An enormous force erupted, sweeping through his entire body like an exploding bomb!
