Chapter 534: Chapter 381: A New Invitation

On the abandoned playground of Tianchang City Seventh Middle School.

A blazing bonfire was lit, with large chunks of meat roasting beside it.

Li Yi, Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, Lv Jue, and others were sitting around the fire, eating grilled meat and drinking wine, while Good Wings and Niu Niu gnawed on the bones and flesh of a creature nearby, making a crunching sound.

"Li Yi, what kind of meat is this? It’s so fragrantly delicious, and I feel my Qi-Blood bubbling with just one bite, like I’ve had some tonic, this is even more nourishing than Transcendent Nutrient Fluid," Lin Yue let out a satisfied burp, her cheeks flushed, looking like she had overindulged.

"This is the meat of a Spirit Power Realm level Extraordinary Creature; of course, it’s nourishing," Li Yi, having a great appetite, tore into the meat voraciously. His Divine Bloodline had consumed too much energy, and he was famished in less than a day.

"No wonder it’s stronger than nutrient fluid," remarked Zhao Lingfu, looking surprised at the meat in his hands: "But speaking of which, Li Yi, you actually took down a Spirit Power Realm Extraordinary Creature in the danger zone this time? At most, we’ve only hunted three Soul Realm Extraordinary Creatures here, the rest were all in the Spiritual Realm."

"My realm is a bit higher than yours; naturally, I need to hunt for higher-level prey. Once you break through to the Soul Realm, you too can venture deeper into the dangerous zones," Li Yi said while continuing to eat.

"Li Yi, will we continue this tomorrow?" asked Lv Jue. He had only eaten a small piece of the grilled meat and was full. He couldn’t continue eating or his body would be overburdened.

"Of course, we’ll continue. However, I have to change directions tomorrow and start by clearing the surroundings of Tianchang City first," Li Yi replied: "By the way, have you met Fan Zhizhou who just arrived at the Peace Building yesterday?"

"Zheng Lan mentioned him. He’s someone from the Otherworld," Zhao Lingfu said: "There’s nothing strange about that, there are many who cross worlds, and it’s normal for people from other worlds to come to ours. I’ve also been following news on this matter recently."

"Fan Zhizhou comes from the Four Seas and Eight Continents and is a martial artist. The Martial Arts that Lin Yue and I practice were learned from him," Li Yi took the opportunity to talk about Four Seas and Eight Continents: "The Sky Tipping event could happen at any moment now, and if Earth becomes unlivable, I will take you all to survive in the world where Fan Zhizhou is from."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, everyone got excited.

Li Yi continued to eat and said, "Don’t get too excited. Four Seas and Eight Continents isn’t a particularly great world. The cosmic energy there is thin, not very suitable for Cultivation. The only upside is that the world is relatively peaceful, without wars or turmoil. You won’t have problems living there, but progressing... would be difficult."

With those words, the excitement among the group diminished.

For those who had stepped into the path of Cultivation, it was hard to accept moving to a world where they could no longer cultivate.

"That’s already good enough; at least we won’t have to worry about perishing together with Earth in the future," Lin Yue said: "It’s alright if our Cultivation is interrupted, as long as our families are safe."

"That’s true, compared to others, we are indeed fortunate," Zhao Lingfu nodded in agreement.

"Li Yi, when do you plan to send us to the Four Seas and Eight Continents, or is that world simply a backup plan to be used only as a last resort?" Zhao Xiaoxiao inquired, offering a piece of grilled meat with a somewhat ingratiating smile.

Li Yi nonchalantly accepted the grilled meat and started eating, saying, "I’m telling you this news so you won’t worry. Just as Zhao Xiaoxiao guessed, Four Seas and Eight Continents is simply a backup plan. We won’t send you there unless it’s absolutely necessary, because going there means cutting off your own path to progress."

"On Earth, crossing worlds is an easy matter, with dangers and opportunities coexisting, but crossing from Four Seas and Eight Continents is difficult. There, the lack of cosmic energy leads to the degradation of wonders, and there’s no way to open the gates to other worlds. You can only cross worlds through specific points, and the connections from Four Seas and Eight Continents are still to Earth, so from a Cultivator’s perspective, it’s not a great destination," Li Yi thought for a moment and then continued to explain.

"So, we need to continue looking for opportunities to cross worlds?" Lin Yue contemplated aloud.

Li Yi said, "After comprehensive consideration, the No. 6 world that Golden Academy is currently attacking is very good, with a high-tech civilization, intelligent systems, and abundant cosmic energy. It’s possible to embark on the path of genetic evolution. The future prospects are boundless, so let’s wait and see a bit longer."

"As long as there’s a way out, I’m not afraid of anything."

Zhao Lingfu said, "I just want to find a way out for my family. I don’t care much for myself. But hearing you say you’ve found a Four Seas and Eight Continents world as our fallback, my heart was instantly relieved."

He immediately felt much more at ease.

And with his psychological knot untied, Zhao Lingfu’s body began to emit specks of fluorescence, a glow of the soul emanating from deep within his heart, converging in his mind and faintly outlining a humanoid silhouette.

"He has broken through to the Soul Realm," Lin Yue immediately said upon seeing this.

The silvery glint flickered in Li Yi’s eyes: "Zhao Lingfu had reached the Spiritual Realm before you, Sister Lin, and now, after cultivating for such a long time, coupled with becoming a genetic warrior, it was only a matter of time before he’d break through to the Soul Realm. His accumulation is profound, and his soul power is strong, so forming the soul isn’t difficult for him. He just lacked an opportunity."

The others, witnessing Zhao Lingfu’s breakthrough, showed enviable expressions. But then, they thought of the possibility of themselves reaching the Soul Realm in the future and immediately filled with anticipation.

Ever since they became genetic warriors, their cultivation speed had indeed increased rapidly. Even Zhao Xiaoxiao, who was average in aptitude, had reached Spiritual Sense. Though it was just the beginning of Spiritual Sense, she still felt excited and satisfied.

If she hadn’t had the epiphany to stick close to Li Yi’s side, such an achievement would have been impossible for her.

"Is this the Soul Realm?"

Zhao Lingfu opened his eyes at this moment, his pupils exceptionally bright in front of the campfire. He also sensed the shackles on his body being unlocked, his strength surged, and his sensitivity became especially acute.

However, when he sensed Li Yi, his very soul trembled in fear.

Sitting opposite him, Li Yi seemed to be no ordinary Soul Realm being. His aura involuntarily made Zhao Lingfu shiver, and even though they were in the same realm, Zhao Lingfu had no doubt Li Yi could defeat him utterly with a single strike.

Indeed, Golden Academy was full of freaks; strength could not be measured by realm alone.

"Zhao Lingfu, you have now broken through to the Soul Realm and became a genetic warrior. Your strength won’t be lacking. But something is still missing. Sister Lin, you should give some guidance on Zhao Lingfu’s martial arts cultivation later on," Li Yi contemplated for a moment and then added, "These days, if your training isn’t diverse, it’s quite easy to be killed."

"Okay," Lin Yue nodded.

Zhao Lingfu said somewhat embarrassingly, "Thank you."

"Not just you, but others too, can start learning martial arts after they break through to the Soul Realm. Have Sister Lin teach you all," Li Yi said. "But before that, focus on how to improve your realm. I saw it during my visit to the danger zone today; those Extraordinary Creatures are evolving faster than one another. Spiritual Sense is already becoming obsolete; Soul Realm is just the starting line."

"Moreover, if you don’t train in more than one area, you won’t be able to contend with Extraordinary Creatures of the same realm. So don’t feel complacent now that you have some strength. This world is cruel, and it won’t take long before it weeds you out."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts involuntarily shivered.

"Well said, without progress, one would soon be eliminated." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from a corner of the school.

"Who?"

The voice was unfamiliar, and Zhao Lingfu suddenly shouted in alarm.

The next moment.

A figure dashed towards Li Yi at an extremely fast speed.

"Targeting me?"

In an instant, Li Yi’s eyes widened, his vertical pupil gleaming, his body interwoven with silver radiance giving the impression hedonned a layer of heavy armor. Eventually, uneager to concern himself further, he swiftly took action, Divine Power surging, as he smashed his fist towards the other party.

However, the other party also delivered a punch, Fist Power erupting.

Boom!

The two forces collided, the massive residual power spread out, sending the bonfire flying in all directions, illuminating under the firelight, the figure of the opponentbecame clearly visible.

It was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt with a black vicious hound pattern, the hound baring its teeth as if its eyes were emitting red light. The pattern also looked so lifelike that it felt quite unnatural.

"Is this strength a joke?"

Li Yi’s face changed abruptly; even the Divine Power stemming from his physique couldn’t shake the opponent, and he couldn’t help but retreat several steps.

"Li Yi, your strength is not inferior to mine; your progress is indeed great."

Li Yi’s fists were bleeding, the red blood mingling with strands of silver light, extraordinary and remarkable. However, the opponent remained unscathed, causing his face to darken instantly: "Yang Wei, how did you come to Tianchang City? And how did you improve so fast?"

The others around were warily watching this unfamiliar young man.

"You haven’t read much, some things are hard to explain to you." Yang Wei said with a smile: "I just felt some affinity to Tianchang City and wanted to roam around, then suddenly remembered that you seemed to live here, so I came to have a look. Never expected you also like being in Seventh Middle School, it seems we have quite a few things in common; I also studied at Seventh Middle School before."

"You don’t seem like someone who enjoys wandering around aimlessly." Li Yi said: "Are you here looking for me?"

"Would you like to go back to the Ghost Post Office?" Yang Wei asked.

Li Yi darkened: "No. And didn’t you say that the Ghost Post Office had been dealt with?"

"They just stopped delivering letters, the Ghost Post Office has always been there. I indeed came for you, heard you have Magic Artifacts for storage, how about giving me two? And you also have two Thunder Warplanes, how about giving me one?" Yang Wei said.

"Who told you this?" Li Yi said: "Even though you’ve helped me before, it’s not fair to extort me like this."

"It’s for your benefit."

Yang Wei came over, then unceremoniously picked up a piece of meat stuck in the ground and started eating: "Got any cola? Hand one over."

Li Yi took out a bottle of cola from the Magic Artifact and threw it over.

Yang Wei caught it, opened it, took a swig, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"What’s so beneficial that it’s worth two Magic Artifacts for storage and one Thunder Warplane?" Li Yi said while signaling the others to relax.

Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, and others, seeing this person was not an enemy, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can bring your mother back; is that benefit big enough?" Yang Wei said: "I’ve reminded you before, reversing life and death in world number 36 is not that hard, it’s just that you seem unprepared to go back there yet, so I think I need to give you a push."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi’s silver pupils suddenly contracted.

"So, are you going to give the items or not?" Yang Wei asked while eating the grilled meat and drinking cola.

"I will!"

Li Yi immediately said.

Yang Wei smiled: "That’s more like it, doing business with me, you won’t be at a loss."

"With such a rapid increase in strength, why don’t you go to the sixth world and steal a few Thunder Warplanes? Why covet mine?" Li Yi took a deep breath and released two Magic Artifacts for storage; those were snatched from Xu Wen Dao, and he wouldn’t feel pain giving away two of them as he didn’t need that many anyway.

But for the Thunder Warplanes, he only had two left, giving them away would have a significant impact on him.

However, the chance to save his mother made it worth it.

After Yang Wei took them, he said: "I’m here on a mission, not for Cultivation, I need the mobility of the Thunder Warplanes and the convenience of the Magic Artifacts for storage. Robbing the sixth world would be too time-consuming; it’s better to ask you for them. But speaking of Golden Academy, I have to make a trip there; they have more cross-world contacts, might find a world I like."

"So, I’m like your employee now?" Li Yi said.

"Who let me used to be called President Yang." Yang Wei replied with a smile: "Your meat tastes not bad, what kind is it?"

"Dog meat." Li Yi said.

"I’ve also kept dogs, but never seen one so large." Yang Wei glanced at the huge skeleton beside him.
