Chapter 373 - 286: Murder for Treasure? (Part 6)
"That’s what he should do! Our Special Agent Bureau is willing to accept the items he sent, that’s his honor!"
Wei Tianxing shook his head in disappointment and sighed:
"Enough! The more you talk, the more nonsensical you become."
After finishing, he abruptly turned around and walked away with large strides.
Leaving Zhao Jinyuan standing there alone.
As Zhao Jinyuan watched Wei Tianxing’s departing figure, he turned his gaze towards the direction Lin Lang disappeared to, gritting his teeth so hard they made a cracking sound, squeezing out a few words:
"Damn it! Dare to hurt my nephew, this debt won’t be left unsettled!"
His eyes were filled with malice, already plotting in his mind how to seek revenge on Lin Lang.
...
Lin Lang brought Zhi Xi back to Xina’s residence.
As soon as he entered, he felt a faint energy fluctuation permeating the house—
It was evident that Xina had just undergone a breakthrough!
Seeing Lin Lang return, Xina’s face instantly blossomed with a bright smile, her eyes full of excitement and joy.
She quickly walked up to Lin Lang and said excitedly:
"Lin Lang, that fruit is truly amazing! I feel like my strength has taken a qualitative leap."
Looking at Xina’s renewed state, Lin Lang also showed a gratified smile.
He glanced at the changes in Xina’s various attributes:
[Xina]
[Appearance: 9 points]
[Recharge: 12 times]
[Loyalty: 60%]
[Return Multiplier: 6000]
[Combat Power: S]
[Ability: Summoning Technique (Level 1)]
Then!
Lin Lang and Xina sat on the sofa and talked about today’s martial arts tournament.
Lin Lang narrated the details of the competition, from Zhuo Yong’s brave performance, to Xiang Jinpeng’s thrilling journey to advance, finally upsetting Zhuo Yong to win the championship.
Xina listened intently, and upon hearing about Xiang Jinpeng’s upset victory over Zhuo Yong, she opened her mouth in surprise, saying:
"This person hides so deeply! I didn’t see that he had such strong ability before. Looks like people really can’t be judged by their appearance."
Xina said as she slightly shook her head, marveling at Xiang Jinpeng’s hidden abilities.
...
As night slowly descended, the soft moonlight streamed through the windows, draping the entire room in a dreamlike silvery veil.
Xina sat quietly on the living room sofa, her gaze occasionally falling on Lin Lang, her eyes filled with affection as if containing countless emotions, waiting to be confessed to the person before her.
Lin Lang naturally understood, he gently held Xina’s hand, the two exchanged a smile, and walked into the bedroom together.
Xina’s cheeks were slightly flushed, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, shy and charming.
Meanwhile, Little Mermaid Zhi Xi watched the two walk into the bedroom, blinked her large watery eyes, and swam back to her bathtub.
The water in the bathtub was crystal clear, with a faint sparkle, as if it were a tranquil little ocean.
Just as Zhi Xi began to feel a bit bored, Lin Lang suddenly came out of the bedroom, approached the bathtub with a smile, and took out a heap of imported cookies from the space.
These cookies were beautifully packaged and emitted a tempting aroma.
Zhi Xi’s eyes instantly brightened, like stars twinkling in the night sky—
Lin Lang didn’t lie to her!
She really could eat cookies till she was full!
She excitedly took the cookies, her face beaming with a pure smile, so delighted that she forgot all her worries.
Soon after, the Little Mermaid sat happily on the edge of the bathtub, munching away "crunch crunch."
The crisp sound of chewing echoed in the quiet room, like a cheerful little tune, accompanying Zhi Xi in the joy brought by the delicious cookies.
...
In the middle of the night!
All was silent, as if the whole world had fallen asleep.
After a passionate moment with Lin Lang, Xina lay exhausted on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The sound of her steady breathing gently echoed in the quiet room.
Meanwhile, Lin Lang quietly got up, put on a coat, and slowly walked out of the bedroom.
He came to the center of the living room, quickly forming seals with his hands, a strange glow surrounding him, using the Law of Space, he meticulously constructed an independent cultivation space.
As the glow gradually subsided, a space filled with a mysterious aura appeared before him.
Without hesitation, Lin Lang leapt in.
...
Inside the cultivation space, everything was tranquil, with a soft light illuminating the surroundings.
Lin Lang sat cross-legged, taking out the jade pendant he won from Elder Zou today from his bosom.
Under the gaze of the Eye of Destiny, the jade pendant shimmered with dazzling golden light, like a bright pearl in the night sky, exuding a mysterious and enticing aura.
Concentrating, Lin Lang slowly extended his Divine Sense into the jade pendant like a thin thread.
In an instant!
He sensed a very powerful Divine Sense defense inside the jade pendant, like an impregnable fortress, protecting the secrets hidden within the jade pendant.
However!
Now Lin Lang’s Divine Sense strength had reached an astonishingly high level!
This seemingly formidable defense was nothing more than a paper barrier in front of him.
Almost effortlessly, Lin Lang’s Divine Sense penetrated the defense like a sharp blade, advancing rapidly.
Along with a crisp "crack" sound!
The jade pendant couldn’t withstand this powerful impact, instantly shattering into countless fragments, scattering everywhere.
The next moment!
A golden light emerged, projecting a piece of ancient text in mid-air:
[Celestial Thunder Treasure Manual:]
[Lingxiao Vastness, Thunderous Clarity.]
[Introducing Thunder into Acupoints, Divine Soul Guard.]
[Inheriting Celestial Fury, Qi Absorption of the Purple Sky.]
[Condensing Thunder into Power, Breaking Illusions and Soaring to the Heavens.]
[Thunder Heart Unity, All Laws Wither...]
...
The content of this text was profound and obscure, like whispers from an ancient mysterious world, carrying an elusive meaning.
Its complexity far exceeded any knowledge Lin Lang had encountered before!
By usual standards, understanding its true meaning would likely require a vast amount of time and effort, possibly even remaining incomprehensible.
However!
Just as Lin Lang focused intently, reading word by word, a miraculous thing happened—
A sudden flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, like a brilliant meteor cutting through the dark night sky.
In an instant!
The meanings of those words, which were once like a celestial script, flowed into Lin Lang’s mind as clear as a stream of water, naturally and with great clarity.
Every character, every sentence’s meaning became crystal clear!
As if this knowledge existed in the depths of his memory all along, only awakened at this moment.
Lin Lang was startled, then quickly realized—
This must be the Law of Wisdom at work!
The Law of Wisdom granted him an extraordinary understanding of knowledge!
Allowing him to break through the heavy barriers of this obscure text!
Lin Lang continued to delve deeper.
And discovered that this manual was a magic classic in the cultivation domain, belonging to the Thunder Element.
From between the lines, he could sense the immense Thunder Power and exquisite techniques it contained.
Unfortunately!
For Lin Lang, although this Celestial Thunder Treasure Manual was incredibly precious, it held little practical use.
After all, he had long awakened his Thunder Element superpower, and his mastery of the thunder element had already reached a certain height.
If he were to practice this Thunder Element magic now, it would undoubtedly mean giving up his existing advantages to pursue an alternative path.
It would truly be putting the cart before the horse.
