593: The evil star falls into the trap, the military merits are counted, and the reward is selected on a certain day.

Time flowed, and in a blink of an eye, almost two more months passed.

Early this morning, Yang Dian, who was bored and took a fishing rod to the cliff to fish, felt a tug in his hand, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"A big one!"

He muttered, and with a strong flick of his fishing rod, he reeled it in.

"Whoosh~~~"

Looking at the Orca, nearly 900 meters long, thrown into the sky by a single cast, practically blotting out the sun, Yang Dian couldn't help but show a speechless expression:

"Orca, what are you doing? Why did you bite my hook for no reason!"

"Didn't I tell you not to come around here? You've scared all my fish away!"

Poof~

The Little Orca sprayed a mist of water from its blowhole, making a 'whoosh whoosh' sound.

Big Black Cat, who was lying next to Yang Dian, rolled over and began to translate:

"Human, the big fish said it saw you hadn't caught any fish for half a month straight, and it was afraid you were bored, so it bit the hook!"

"Human, the big fish also said that other Anglers can parade a meter-long fish through the streets, and if you caught it, you could also drive it through the streets."

Yang Dian was speechless. He condensed a giant finger from his Qi and blood and poked the Orca's head, off and on:

"I knew it! I've been fishing for half a month, how could I not catch a single fish? So it was you, you little fellow, constantly watching and scaring all my fish away!"

"As for taking you for a stroll through the streets..."

"You don't even look at how big you are now, what street could fit you in?"

Saying that, Yang Dian began to pack up his fishing gear, preparing to find another spot to fish.

What, you ask why he doesn't sense the water conditions before fishing?

Fishing is about the surprise of the fish biting the hook, not just for the fish itself.

If he really wanted fish, couldn't he go to the market to buy them, or just grab them directly with his Qi and blood?

Seeing that Yang Dian wasn't going to take it for a stroll, the Orca landed directly on the cliff edge, rolling its body and making 'whoosh whoosh' sounds.

Looking at the large sections of the cliff collapsing as the Orca rolled, Yang Dian's eyebrows twitched.

Big Black Cat got up, stretched, and then began to translate again:

"Human, the big fish said you could make it smaller and take it for a stroll."

"Human, the big fish also said you don't like it anymore; you used to love taking it out to play."

After finishing the translation, Big Black Cat looked at Yang Dian with its bright, sparkling eyes:

"Human, I also want to go play."

Yang Dian was somewhat dumbfounded, so he dispersed the Qi and blood he had condensed into a finger, turning it into a smoky cloud that enveloped the Orca.

Next, the enormous Orca, so vast it cast a large shadow when it flew into the sky, began to shrink.

In just a few seconds, it shrank from nearly 900 meters long to less than 10 centimeters, becoming a super-miniature Little Orca.

Dragon Claw Hand's fourth trait: Sui Kong (Shattering Space), a variant application.

Sui Kong (Shattering Space), in short, means tearing space apart.

To tear space apart with the least amount of effort, one naturally needs a deep understanding of space.

During these two months, Yang Dian was certainly not just fishing and vacationing; he reorganized all the knowledge he had accumulated throughout his life.

The variant application of Sui Kong (Shattering Space) is a slight control over the power of space.

After this period of learning, organizing, and comprehending the Unity of Man and Nature.

Now, even without the Dimension Butterfly, he can control a region of space with his own power.

For instance, as now, influencing space with Qi and blood to isolate and shrink the space where the Orca is located, is one of the achievements from this period.

Big Black Cat looked at the Orca, now less than 10 centimeters and bouncing on the ground, then looked at its own massive body, which was too large to squat on Yang Dian's shoulder, and immediately began to meow:

"Human, I want to shrink too, I want to shrink too!"

Unable to resist Big Black Cat, Yang Dian vigorously petted its head a couple of times.

Controlling Qi and blood to twist space.

Big Black Cat, whose eyes were rolling from being petted, instantly became palm-sized.

"Meow, meow, meow!"

After three meaningless but very happy meows, Little Black Cat took off from the spot, jumped directly onto Yang Dian's left shoulder, and rubbed his neck with its head, emitting an indistinct purring sound.

The Orca, now a Little Orca, bounced on the ground for a while, confirming that the spatial power Yang Dian used had improved and wouldn't accidentally drill into the ground and get lost like before. It then mimicked Little Black Cat, flying onto Yang Dian's right shoulder, purring and snuggling against him.

"You two little rascals."

Yang Dian happily stretched out both hands and petted Little Black Cat and Little Orca for a while. Just as he was about to change fishing spots, he suddenly sensed something again and abruptly looked up towards The West.

In his flickering eyes, waves of fluorescent light, invisible to the naked eye, surged from the horizon like a tide.

His gaze narrowed, and after discerning the true nature of those fluorescent waves, Yang Dian unconsciously raised an eyebrow:

"Spiritual Qi Tide?"

As soon as his voice fell, the Spiritual Qi Tide had already surged forward, then swept past Yang Dian and crashed directly into the light barrier enveloping the borders of Huaxia.

Boom~

Amidst a roaring sound that seemed to originate from the Soul, the indestructible light barrier began to tremble slightly.

Just as Yang Dian wondered if it would collapse, the light barrier returned to calm.

No, it shouldn't be said that it returned to calm.

It should be said that it became even more solid than before.

"So, what exactly is the method to dispel the light barrier?"

Just as Yang Dian frowned, the Spiritual Qi Tide that had crashed into the light barrier, blocked by it, surged back again, beginning to roll back and forth across the land of Huaxia, nourishing the world.

Flying up, he gazed into the distance.

Yang Dian discovered that due to the presence of the light barrier, all Spiritual Qi, as well as the special energy contained within the Spiritual Qi, was tightly confined within Huaxia's borders.

Either it fused with the world, or it fused with plants, or it was absorbed by animals.

In any case, not a single trace of Spiritual Qi or special energy left Huaxia.

"This light barrier isn't entirely useless."

As soon as he finished muttering, a soft "Ding~" sounded from Yang Dian's bracelet.

Then a mechanical voice emanated from the smart bracelet:

"Attention all Huaxia citizens, attention all Huaxia citizens."

"The Expeditionary Force has completed the conquest of Strange Star, and Strange Star is currently merging with Huaxia, becoming Huaxia's Second Blessed Land."

"During the Fusion, Earth will experience its fifth Spiritual Qi surge."

"During this period, the range of Spiritual Qi within Huaxia's territory will be greatly increased, and the Spiritual Qi contains an unknown evolutionary energy that can greatly boost the probability of Awakening."

"Awakened and Martial Artists who absorb this evolutionary energy can greatly enhance their strength."

"Please note, during the Spiritual Qi Tide, please put down any non-essential tasks and try to dedicate your time to Martial Arts practice to maximize the effect of the Spiritual Qi Tide, not to let down the Expeditionary Force for opening up the Second Blessed Land for us on an Alien Planet."

"Please note, put down all non-essential tasks and immediately begin Martial Arts practice!"

As the voice from the bracelet faded, Yang Dian also put away his fishing gear and turned to fly towards Fengdu.

The Expeditionary Force had completely conquered Strange Star; as the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, it was time for him to commend them.

"Ya Zi, tally the battle merits, and rewards will be bestowed on a chosen day."
