Chapter 853: Like Wolves and Tigers
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the most represented start-up company in Dragon City, Superstar Resource had also received olive branches from the Red Dragon Army and the nine mega corporations.
On the road of the rapid advancement of Dragon City’s civilization, there was bound to be a place for Superstar Resource Recovery Company.
As billions of lightning bolts flashed and mudslides surged, Meng Chao had cut through thorns and brambles, as well as ridden the wind and broken the waves with the Golden Tooth Blood Soul Saber. He had also sensed the intense friction between the vitality magnetic field and the planet’s magnetic field. They fought crazily, but they also resonated deeply. The mutual stimulation was so mysterious that it could not be described with words.
He knew that he was not far away from breaking through the six-star Spirit Armor Realm.
After three years, he had finally grown from a failed student in the college entrance examination in his previous life to an existence comparable to or even surpa.s.sing Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu.
Everything was developing in a good direction.
.
Although Dragon City still faced many problems today.
It was just like the Hidden Mist Domain that was still shrouded by dark clouds, torrential rain, lightning, and floods.
However, the extreme weather had already pa.s.sed its most intense phase. Most of the violent spirit energy that had acc.u.mulated underground had been completely released. It was even evenly distributed around the Hidden Mist Domain, turning into controllable spirit energy that humans could digest and absorb.
It would not be long before the rain cleared up, and Dragon City would usher in a brand-new dawn!
The third day of the Deity Realm Conference…
It was also the day of the victory parade.
Although the sky was still drizzling with rain.
The entire Dragon City had turned into a sea of jubilation.
The lanterns and decorations, the loud gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers dispelled all the darkness and fear.
The days where resources were scarce, people were anxious, and there was no hope were like a nightmare under the sunlight, dissipating without a trace.
The emotions that the transmigrators had suppressed for half a century could finally be vented out as freely as a volcanic eruption.
In order to resist the extreme weather, the superhumans who were guarding the Hidden Mist Domain could not rush back to the main city to partic.i.p.ate in this celebration.
However, they were also gathered in the dining hall of ten thousand people. Through the holographic projection that surrounded them at 360 degrees, they stood together with the citizens.
Although the spirit magnetic interference was still very strong in the storm, the scene from the main city was full of delays and distortions. It was also disconnected from time to time and became pitch-black.
However, it was still unable to stop the superhumans from clinking their gla.s.ses, and their emotions were high.
Not long ago, there had just been a chaotic battle here.
However, the mess on the ground had long been cleaned up, and the walls and ceiling that were full of holes had been repaired completely. No one was willing to talk about unhappy things.
Everyone would rather use the method of drinking to replace the impact between the offensive spirit magnetic fields.
The metabolic speed of superhumans was three to five times to dozens of times that of ordinary people.
They also possessed organs that were moist with spirit energy and had the characteristics of partially crystallized.
It was not easy to get drunk in the first place.
However, the fine wine prepared for the celebration of victory was all top-grade stuff that was mixed with the blood of Apocalyptic Beasts and the essence of etherealized plants. When the bottle stopper was opened, wisps of spirit light that could be seen by the naked eye soared into the sky.
The superhumans from the nine mega corporations and the Red Dragon Army did not want to lose their momentum.
Some superhumans who had once had conflicts but fought side by side when the flood came were like good brothers who had their arms around each other’s shoulders, but they were also like bayonets who fought against each other.
Barrels of top-grade wines were drunk, just like refueling an armored airship. How could it still be counted? How many bottles had they drunk?
Before the victory parade ended, many superhumans were already drunk.
Meng Chao was still fine. Although he had a lot of friends in the superhuman circle and many cultivation lunatics who stayed in the Hidden Mist Domain were his best friends and business partners, he still had to socialize with them.
But no one deliberately challenged him to a drinking match.
As a reincarnated person, he was also very clear that this was not the final victory. There was still a long, long, or perhaps endless road ahead.
Therefore, he only dabbled a little and did not let himself lose control.
Lu Siya was not drunk either.
When Meng Chao left the noisy canteen, he found the Queen Bee leaning sideways on the edge of the corridor. She was looking at Mist Mountain, which was as dark as the silhouette of an ancient behemoth, in the pouring rain. Her eyes were empty and thoughtful.
Affected by the bad weather, the flickering light divided her face into several mottled pieces.
“Are you done eating?”
Meng Chao walked over and asked, “Don’t you need to have a few more drinks with your friends in the circle of the nine n.o.ble families?”
“No, they’re not my friends.”
Lu Siya said, “I have to socialize with them for business. It’s rare for me to have a big day like the victory of Dragon City. Let me relax a little.”
She turned to Meng Chao, and Sparks flickered between her fingers.
Meng Chao was slightly stunned. He said, “I’ve known you for so many years, but I didn’t know. Do You Smoke?”
“Not really. It’s not exciting enough.”
Lu Siya flicked the cigarette b.u.t.t in the rainstorm and smiled at Meng Chao. “Don’t you want to stay with these people anymore? Let’s go to Mist Mountain to cultivate!”
Boom! Crack!
When Lu Siya said that, dozens of lightning bolts as thick as dragons struck the peak of Mist Mountain.
The lightning bolts contained violent spirit energy, which instantly ignited the towering trees on the peak of the mountain and turned them into hundreds of burning torches.
The torrential rain extinguished the flames in the blink of an eye.
Only the dark trunks and branches of the trees were left behind. They were like the silhouettes of demons that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
“Mist Mountain…”
Meng Chao frowned slightly and asked, “Isn’t it too dangerous?”
As the highest peak of the Hidden Mist Domain, Mist Mountain was naturally where the spirit veins gathered.
In the crevices in the hollow of the mountain, waves of spirit energy would spurt out from time to time, causing the entire mountain peak to be shrouded in an unfathomable mist all year round.
The spirit magnetic interference here was the most intense in the entire Hidden Mist Domain, no, the entire basin that was surrounded by Monster Mountain Range.
Regardless of whether it was a Heaven Realm expert or an armored airship, once they got close to the divine Mist Mountain, they would lose control and fall to the ground like headless flies.
Before today, Meng Chao and Lu Siya rarely went to Mist Mountain to cultivate.
Not to mention that the weather was so bad. The magnetic field on the planet fluctuated like a raging ocean. It was also the day of victory that everyone celebrated. No one went out at all, and no one would go up Mist Mountain.
“I never knew that you were afraid of danger. In my impression, you are a person who always seeks death, but you can never die.”
Lu Siya smiled and said, “Of course, it’s dangerous, but the reward is quite generous. Right now, the spirit and magnetic environment of Mist Mountain is so complicated, and the extreme weather has brought surging tides of spirit energy. If we can withstand the test of Mist Mountain, our cultivation will certainly rise to a higher level. Maybe you can even break into the six-star Spirit Armor Realm in one fell swoop!
“The rainy season is almost over. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait for another year before we can encounter such a weather suitable for cultivation.
“No. This year, we used weather interference bombs to release spirit energy that has been acc.u.mulated underground for many years. That’s why the weather within a hundred miles around us is so terrible. Next year Mist Mountain might not be as spectacular as this year!”
Lu Siya stared at Mist Mountain.
The brilliance in her eyes was something that Meng Chao had never seen before.
It was as if she was addicted to cultivation.
Meng Chao hesitated for a moment.
Recently, Lu Siya had indeed become more and more energetic in her cultivation, and the more she cultivated, the crazier she became.
After all, Meng Chao himself was famous for cultivating like a crazy demon, regardless of anything else.
Whether it was in Agricultural University’s Martial Arts Department, the Ultimate Style’s research center, or Battle G.o.d Palace, the amount of his regular cultivation would make other superhumans gasp in amazement, or even flabbergasted.
Only by using contribution points to exchange for healing spells and constantly replenishing the golden energy into the damaged muscle fibers and neural network could he withstand seven to eight times the amount of cultivation compared to other superhumans of the same level, earning him the t.i.tle of “monster.”
In the past, even if Lu Siya was one or two minor realms higher than him.
This Queen Bee, who was born as a prospector and used rock manipulation as her main combat method, had far less cultivation than Meng Chao.
When the two of them cultivated together, Meng Chao would often train Lu Siya until she was out of breath, unable to keep up with the pace and shouting that she couldn’t take it.
Ever since Lu Siya broke through to the six-star Spirit Armor Realm.
The situation had been completely reversed.
Lu Siya’s training was getting more and more intensive, and her appet.i.te was getting bigger and bigger. She was almost like a wolf or a tiger who didn’t care about anything at all.
Even with Meng Chao’s strong physique made of copper and iron and the support of the Kindling, he still couldn’t keep up with Lu Siya’s pace.
Meng Chao was familiar with Luo Wu, the soul severing saber, and he knew that the average six-star Spirit Armor Realm wasn’t as crazy as Lu Siya’s.
Right now, Lu Siya was no longer satisfied with the regular training locations.
She had set her eyes on Mist Mountain.
Meng Chao really wanted to persuade Lu Siya to take it easy. She didn’t want to cultivate like she didn’t care about her life.
However, as a cultivation maniac who had broken through to five-star Heavenly Realm in just three years, he didn’t seem to have any position to make others slow down their cultivation speed.
Besides, the path of cultivation was like drinking water. One would know the difference between the cold and the warm.
There were indeed many cultivation philosophies. One had to work hard and advance rapidly in order to break through the limits of one’s life.
“Alright!”
Meng Chao nodded in agreement. He thought for a moment and then said, “However, I have to send Long Feijun, the ‘Train Cannon’, back to the dormitory first. Too many people have already challenged him to a drinking match. If he continues drinking, he might not even be able to get up by noon the day after tomorrow. Before the banquet, he had asked me to find an excuse to save him when the situation was not right.”
“Alright.”
“Alright.” Lu Siya could not wait any longer. “Then, I’ll go first. I’ll wait for you halfway up the mountain.”
A lot of spirit energy that originated from Red Radiance Jade and Blue Origin Crystal was stored in their bodies.
Since they had been training together all year round, the frequency of the vitality magnetic field was almost the same.
Even in extreme weather such as torrential rain, lightning, and thunder, the interference of spirit magnetism was extremely intense.
You can sense each other from a certain distance.
Don’t worry, you can’t lock onto each other.
