287: With the Bodhi seeds in hand, I am ready to go down to the Yueshan Mountain in the underground world again.

The battle finally ended with the giant Starlight Jellyfish's haughty "thump, thump" sounds.

Brahma was hammered into a pancake by the supersonic tentacles, then disintegrated into smoke, coiling around Sana·Saka as she fled.

Before escaping, the giant jellyfish even reached out and snatched half of the golden smoke and dust.

This meant that Sana·Saka could still summon Brahma in the future, but Brahma's size would be half of what it originally was.

It could be considered a new Brahma.

After retracting the star matter that had transformed into a giant jellyfish, Yang Dian handed the golden worm's accompanying rare treasure to Lei Ming, then looked at the last City-Level Indian Federation combatant, who had been captured alive by Yue Shan.

Their eyes met, and the last Indian Federation City-Level combatant was put into a sack and thrown to the side.

"Sana·Saka has escaped, and if we release him too, our strategic objective will be achieved."

Yang Dian pinched Dudu's bell: "Speaking of which, will those 'Ah San' over there start fighting?"

Lei Ming smiled: "It's best if they start fighting on their own; if not, they'll have to."

As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. This isn't something we should be worrying about. Let the Wen Organization and the Think Tank rack their brains over it."

The few of them chatted for a few more moments, then looked at the Bodhi Tree that was about to ripen.

"How should we handle the Bodhi Tree and the Bodhi Tree?"

Hearing Yue Shan's question, Yang Dian immediately said: "Once the Bodhi Tree ripens, pick them, then leave two people to guard the Bodhi Tree."

"Keep the Bodhi Tree with me. When it's time to refine the territory map next year, I'll refine it directly into the map."

As he spoke, Yang Dian patted the Bodhi Tree: "If possible, refine the Bodhi Tree into it as well."

Yue Shan laughed: "You're stuffing everything into the map; you're really ambitious."

"Uncle Yue, what you're saying is, isn't this so I can do things as perfectly as possible..."

Time flew by quickly amidst their casual conversation. A few hours later, the three of them received news that the remaining City-Level combatant had successfully escaped and fled back to the Indian Federation.

Shortly after the news arrived, the light emitted by the Bodhi Tree converged, becoming simple and unadorned, and exuding an indescribable allure.

Lei Ming looked at the Bodhi Tree and then started waving his hands: "Quickly pick it. If you don't pick it soon, I'm afraid I'll bite into it."

Yang Dian picked the Bodhi Tree as instructed.

The moment he touched the Bodhi Tree, he suddenly felt his mind clear, and his thoughts became extremely calm.

'As expected of the Bodhi Tree, which Old William called the sacred fruit.'

'Just touching it has the effect of mental tranquility. If I eat it, wouldn't it also add the effects of Unity of Man and Nature and listening to heavenly music?'

With that thought, Yang Dian took out a specially made metal box and placed the Bodhi Tree inside.

'I just don't know how much effect will remain if it's refined into the territory map.'

Looking forward to the future, Yang Dian put the box back into his spatial wristband, then looked at Yue Shan and Lei Ming: "Uncle Yue, Uncle Lei, things here are pretty much done, so I'll be leaving first?"

Yue Shan nodded: "Go ahead."

"I'll have to leave soon too."

"The Iron-Eating Beast King in Western Sichuan is still missing. I didn't find it in the underground world either. I need to investigate where it ran off to."

Lei Ming heard this and said: "Take two Awakened with tracking abilities to search?"

Yue Shan waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not like I haven't taken them before, but didn't it still yield no results?"

"This time, I plan to delve deeper into the underground world to see if I can find its tracks."

Yang Dian, who had already taken off, waved to Yue Shan: "Then Uncle Yue, be careful. If you encounter anything unexpected, retreat first and then call me."

"I can truly fly anywhere in the country now."

With that, Yang Dian waved to Lei Ming again, then silently drew an arc, disappearing into the morning light in the blink of an eye.

Watching Yang Dian disappear into the distance, Lei Ming couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "His strength, he's practically invincible, isn't he?"

Yue Shan nodded: "He's indeed almost invincible."

"A flying speed close to that of an aerospace fighter, and combat power that has clearly pulled away from ordinary City-Level Awakened."

"Besides that, the most abnormal thing is his Comprehension Ability, and his strength that seems to have no Bottleneck and can improve endlessly."

"Darn it, he's been practicing martial arts for less than half a year and has become this abnormal. Who can I complain to about this?"

Lei Ming sighed with emotion: "The talent of people is ultimately different."

Amidst his emotions, he suddenly thought of something: "You said Young Yang didn't awaken a second talent even after eating so many heaven and earth treasures. Could his first talent be an energy absorption type?"

"For example, perfectly absorbing and digesting all energy to strengthen himself?"

"If it's not this kind of talent, I really can't think of any other talent that could make him improve so quickly."

Yue Shan gave the slow-witted Lei Ming a sidelong glance: "You just figured that out?"

...Yang Dian naturally didn't know that his talent had already been guessed by discerning individuals.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After all, talent cannot be stripped away.

Even if talent could be stripped away, with his invincible strength on the surface, it would only be him stripping others of their talent, not the other way around.

At this moment, he was flying directly towards the Space Research Institute located on Purple Mountain, guided by navigation.

Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something and changed course, flying towards Fuzhou City.

The procedures for releasing Little Orca had been approved many days ago.

Now that he had some free time, he would first return to Fuzhou City and release Little Orca.

As the thought settled, his body was like a meteor streaking across the sky, with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers becoming dust behind him.

In an instant, he flew above the Orca Pavilion. Sensing Yang Dian's aura, Little Orca immediately flew to the skylight, flapping its wings and emitting an ethereal cry towards him.

After greeting Little Orca through the window, Yang Dian immediately said: "Jingwei Bird, open the skylight. I want to release Little Orca."

"Received." The Jingwei Bird, projected beside Yang Dian, flew around him once, and then the skylight slowly opened.

But after the skylight opened, Little Orca didn't fly up. Instead, it plunged into the Orca Pool, refusing to come out no matter how Yang Dian called to it from above.

Yang Dian, helpless, had no choice but to land by the pool.

After landing, he first greeted Zhao Yuehong, the Orca caretaker, then said: "Releasing you means giving you freedom, not that I don't want you anymore. This pool will always be kept for you."

"I'll take you to the seaside. When you get tired of playing in the sea, you can come back to the pool to sleep."

"Woo?" Little Orca poked its eyes out of the water, letting out a soft cry, as if asking Yang Dian if he was lying.

Squatting down and patting the orca's head, Yang Dian smiled: "How could I lie to you?"

"And look at yourself."

"Staying in this small Orca Pool all the time, how long has it been since you've grown?"
