397: Prepare for battle

Xiao Fan asked Liu Yuan to draw the picture.

But as soon as he put pen to paper, he felt a splitting headache and couldn't remember anything.

His head hurt so much that cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, and he couldn't even make a single stroke of color with the paintbrush in his hand.

Xiao Fan no longer forced Liu Yuan.

He guessed that this might involve some taboo.

Xiao Fan finally comforted Liu Yuan, telling him there was no big problem and not to overthink it.

But after Liu Yuan left, Xiao Fan couldn't help but worry.

It was obvious.

His disciple seemed to be more complex than he had imagined.

The apocalyptic yellow earth.

The Divine Robe of the Fire of Resistance.

The terrifying enemy covered in golden light.

And that smile full of hope.

All of this must be inextricably linked to him.

Unfortunately, his understanding of the Fire of Resistance was still too limited.

He would take it one step at a time.

Thinking of this, he looked at the distant starry river outside the window and slightly clenched his fists.

Finally, he sat down and began to circulate his “Twelve Palace Divine Scripture”, entering a state of deep meditation, and his Mental Energy began to rise rapidly.

Only by gaining a greater grasp of the Fire of Resistance could he possibly obtain more answers!

Currently, the “Twelve Palace Divine Scripture” in Xiao Fan's hand was completely different from the initial draft Zhou Xinyang had brought.

He had only developed 100 Acupoints and 10 Meridians.

But now, Xiao Fan had already opened 200 Acupoints and 12 Meridians.

Compared to the total of 720 Acupoints, 200 might not seem like many, but it meant Xiao Fan had found a full 50 usable Martial Arts techniques.

Many of them were even Myth-Grade Martial Arts he had learned before!

The entire Human Race currently had tens of millions of Martial Arts techniques, but only tens of thousands of them could activate Mental Energy Acupoints.

It sounded simple to find 720 techniques from tens of thousands.

But damn it!

They were all repeated Acupoints!

Acupoints also had Ranks.

310 Earth Acupoints.

310 Heaven Acupoints.

50 Death Acupoints.

50 Life Acupoints.

Earth Acupoints were the easiest to activate, with zero threshold.

But if one could activate Heaven Acupoints, the level of that Martial Arts technique would basically reach the Realm of a Quasi-Divine-Grade Martial Arts.

Death Acupoints and Life Acupoints were for Divine-Grade and above Martial Arts.

Xiao Fan felt that if he could achieve full activation of all 720 Acupoints, his Mental Energy would definitely reach an unimaginable Realm.

Wait a moment…

He trembled.

He suddenly thought of another interesting thing.

The more Acupoints opened, the stronger the Martial Arts for Cultivating Mental Energy!

But what about ordinary Martial Arts?

What about the Devil King's Calligraphy?

Was it true that the more Acupoints it could activate, the stronger it was?

He looked closely, and it was indeed true; his Devil King's Calligraphy and Human Emperor's Calligraphy could now simultaneously mobilize over two hundred Acupoints.

And he only then realized that simultaneously activating two forms would greatly increase the pressure on the Acupoints.

When he also activated the Twelve Palace Divine Scripture, his Acupoints immediately began to tremble.

Xiao Fan nodded slightly; he generally understood.

Acupoints were the best manifestation of Physical Body strength.

Because Acupoints connected the Meridians, Bloodline, and Physical Body.

It was just that, from ancient times until now, no one had been like him, able to use hundreds of Acupoints simultaneously when opening a Martial Arts technique, so there was no information on this in textbooks.

However, some old professors had speculated about it and written relevant documents, but the cases were too few, so the reference value was not significant.

Now Xiao Fan could completely confirm this matter.

The harder the Acupoints, the stronger the Physical Body!

Finally, he entered a deep Cultivation state, quietly awaiting Li Fufeng's news.

…

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. These days, Liu Yuan's strange dreams became more frequent and longer.

Xiao Fan researched for a long time, even consulting a dream interpreter, who said that repeatedly dreaming of the same very real scene might be a memory from a past life.

Furthermore, when dreams become more and more frequent, it also means that you might be about to have some connection with your past life.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan shook his head speechlessly.

No spirits allowed after the founding of the nation… well, that saying seems to be outdated.

He didn't think there was any Heavenly Court or Underworld in this world, and it was already very clear where people went after death.

After life force is exhausted, a person's spirit completely dissipates, and the seven souls and six spirits lose the guidance of the spirit, then they scatter between heaven and earth.

So, Xiao Fan absolutely did not believe in past lives and present lives.

Then he asked Liu Yuan again if the army had any missions today.

Liu Yuan said no, it was a rest day today.

As expected, Liu Yuan's Realm simply did not meet the threshold to participate in that secret battle.

Xiao Fan found a random excuse and left the house.

After turning into a dark alley, he immediately changed his appearance, walked out of Tianhe Pass, and headed towards the forest near Tianhe Waterfall.

Soon, he arrived at the location Li Fufeng had given him.

He looked at the empty forest around him and said in a deep voice, “If only the Dragon City general was here.”

As his voice fell, a big man immediately walked out of the jungle, nodded, and said, “The Barbarian horses would not dare cross Yinshan.”

The secret code matched.

Zhong Hu's face revealed a smile, and he said, “The person personally appointed by the higher-ups, code name… Heavenly Eagle, right?”

“Right.” Xiao Fan's attitude was very cold.

“Alright… then follow me.” Zhong Hu nodded, glancing at Xiao Fan with a playful smile.

Then, he immediately burrowed into the earth and quickly moved forward.

In just one second, he had already traveled over a thousand meters.

“Can you keep up?” Zhong Hu chuckled softly, then turned his head to look.

There was no one behind him.

He couldn't help but feel a little proud; his earth-burrowing technique was indeed powerful.

But suddenly.

“Can you go faster?”

Heavenly Eagle's cold voice abruptly rang out, startling Zhong Hu.

He quickly turned his head to the other side, and Heavenly Eagle was following beside him with an expressionless face.

Zhong Hu couldn't help but swallow.

At this moment, this cold man made him feel a little flustered.

Not just because he had kept up with his speed.

But also because he hadn't even noticed the other party catching up.

This stealth ability was too terrifying.

This meant that if the other party wanted to kill him, he would already be a corpse.

As expected of the temporary worker assigned by the higher-ups.

His operational ability was quite strong.

“I hope to operate alone.” Xiao Fan said indifferently.

“Please give me an information watch.”

Zhong Hu's expression froze.

Operating alone… he was truly confident enough.

Was he afraid that people like them would drag him down?

He didn't expect them to become a burden.

“Alright, then keep this watch safe.” Zhong Hu handed Xiao Fan a silver mechanical watch.

This was a communication watch used for combat.

It contained all the deployment information for this battle, as well as the real-time locations of all team members and enemies within the radar.
