564: Chapter 562 The Three Mountains Suppressing the Peaks, Achieved!

In the night, a white air current streaked across the night sky, heading straight towards Haicheng.

Chu Xuan piloted the white emperor fighter through the intelligent assistance System while taking out all the soul crystal currently in his possession.

A total of 23 pieces.

" [Tracing Cause and Effect] has already reached Major Achievement; it certainly wouldn't be enough to upgrade to Perfection. As for [Thunderous Might], it can be upgraded by being struck by lightning later, so there is no need to expend resources for the time being.

In that case, using these soul crystal to upgrade the newly acquired [Three Mountains Suppressing the Peak] to Introductory level should be more than enough. Perhaps I can even directly step into Minor Achievement and gain a few more quotas to exchange for real attribute..."

Chu Xuan made his decision immediately.

—System, upgrade me to Introductory level first.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he received feedback.

[Accelerated Cultivation for you, increasing progress for "Three Mountains Suppressing the Peak"...]

[You consumed 600 points of spirituality value and 3 soul crystal.]

[Three Mountains Suppressing the Peak: Introductory]

[Your Talent is outstanding, your Comprehension Ability is astonishing. This Divine Ability, evolved from a Martial Artist Cultivation Technique and not compatible with you, would normally take at least three years to reach Introductory level. However, you have obtained a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, and with the blessing of some special power, you have completed the Introductory level in an instant.]

[Your quota for exchanging real attribute +1]

"Heaven-Defying Opportunity, blessing of special power? Could this be referring to me relying on the System for the upgrade?"

Chu Xuan rubbed his chin. However, for a mere 600 points of spirituality value and 3 soul crystal, compared to the 1 point of real attribute exchange quota gained, this resource expenditure was completely acceptable.

"Then let's continue the upgrade..."

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered, and suddenly remembering something, he took out a white candle from his Exclusive Space.

[Candle of Wisdom: Consumable. Ignite this item to increase your Comprehension Ability by 10 times.]

This was an item obtained not long ago after completing the St. Lianna Hospital mission; this time he could finally test its effects.

However, before using it, Chu Xuan queried the System.

—Does this candle have to burn out completely after being lit, or can it be extinguished midway and used repeatedly? Is there any wear and tear?

[It can be used repeatedly. Each use requires 10 points of spirituality value to ignite. Extinguishing it directly will result in 1%-2% wear and tear; you can consume 10 points to extinguish it without any loss.]

"It's only 10 points of spirituality value."

With a thought, Chu Xuan lit the candle, and the pale yellow candlelight spread out, enveloping him.

In that instant, Chu Xuan felt that his thinking didn't seem much more agile, but he had a very strange feeling; his mind was both calm and peaceful, yet surging and undulating.

It was as if he were wandering in the vast Universe of stars, and it seemed as if the ultimate truths of heaven and earth were all within his heart.

—All in, continue upgrading [Three Mountains Suppressing the Peak]!

[Accelerated Cultivation for you...]

[You consumed 17230 points of spirituality value and 23 soul crystal.]

[Your soul crystal are insufficient; accelerated Cultivation progress has stopped...]

[Three Mountains Suppressing the Peak: Major Achievement (18%)]

[You are a genius of the ages, having reached heights in an instant that ordinary Martial Artist can hardly attain in a lifetime.]

[Your Divine Ability "Three Mountains Suppressing the Peak" has reached Major Achievement, with only 82% progress remaining until Perfection.]

[Your quota for exchanging real attribute +15, currently available for exchange: 16]

"It actually reached Major Achievement directly?"

Chu Xuan gasped. Compared to upgrading [Tracing Cause and Effect] previously, although the spirituality value consumed did not save much, the quantity of soul crystal consumed was much less.

And this was even while the Divine Ability was not compatible with himself.

"Good treasure!"

Chu Xuan was overjoyed. Immediately after, he consumed 10 points of spirituality value to extinguish the candle.

Suddenly, the fuselage of the white emperor no. 1 fighter shook incessantly, and various red failure warning lights flashed continuously.

"This fighter jet is about to give out..."

Chu Xuan understood that this was all damage sustained in the gale layer over ten thousand meters above the Cangyun World, as well as the impact caused by sprinting at maximum speed for a long time.

Chu Xuan had anticipated this, and he already had a plan in mind to deal with it.

He connected his mobile phone to the fighter jet and contacted Tan Ziming through the high-frequency signal that came with the fighter jet.

A few seconds later, the call connected successfully, and a voice filled with both surprise and joy rang out from the onboard audio: "Boss Chu, you're back?!"

Tan Ziming's voice was not very clear, drowned out by the rumbling vibrations.

"Where are you..." Before Chu Xuan's question had even left his lips, Tan Ziming's anxious voice came through.

"Boss Chu, we are at the Haicheng Research Base. We have trapped a few very troublesome guys here. Please find a way to get here as soon as possible; we can't hold on much longer..."

"I'll be there immediately." Chu Xuan nodded. Since the other party was also in Haicheng, it saved some trouble, so he hung up the call.

Chu Xuan checked the navigation display and found that he had already crossed several cities; at most, there were only a dozen seconds left before he could reach the preset location.

This distance of nearly four hundred kilometers took less than two minutes; the speed was truly too fast.

However, to truly bring out the speed and the rapid stopping and maneuvering characteristics of this fighter jet, the requirements for the pilot's physical strength are also extremely high.

Ten seconds passed in a flash.

Chu Xuan piloted the fighter jet in low-altitude flight, pulled the joystick, and it came to an abrupt stop in the air, hovering above the Haicheng Research Base.

Chu Xuan teleported out of the fighter jet, stored it into his Exclusive Space, and swept his gaze downwards.

This vast Research Base had long since lost its former appearance; large areas of buildings had collapsed, and traces of artillery bombardment were everywhere, almost turning it into a ruin.

Especially in the area where the officers and soldiers were stationed, there was a flame covering an area of about two or three hundred meters, burning fiercely and shooting up as high as a ten-story building.

Near the flames, a large number of people had been killed or injured.

A dozen or so people wearing the uniform of the Night Watchers were besieging six Martial Artist, but they were being beaten back step by step.

These six Martial Artist coordinated tacitly, with blood energy surging around them and exquisite footwork; every time they moved, several blood shadows would be dragged out behind them.

Chu Xuan locked onto Tan Ziming in the crowd at a glance; he was just sent flying by a punch, spraying blood as he flew backward.

A Martial Artist broke through the crowd, roaring as a galloping blood tiger surged from his body, charging towards Tan Ziming.

This blood tiger was tall, practically comparable to an elephant.

As it galloped, the stench of blood soared to the sky, and its roaring sound made the earth tremble, as if it wanted to shatter a person's Soul.

"It's over..." Tan Ziming's eyes widened. Having almost lost his combat capability, he could only retreat repeatedly, but he was already unable to parry.

"Tan Ziming!!"

Several exclamations rang out. Among the Night Watchers still fighting, Xu Shuya, Su Qiaoqiao, and Fatty Tiger were among them, all of them with their eyes splitting with anger.

And just at this critical moment, a person suddenly appeared in front of Tan Ziming.

He was also wearing the standard training uniform of the Night Watchers, but he was not wearing that iconic black trench coat; instead, he had a cloak draped over his shoulders, almost covering most of his body.

This person just raised his hand gently, and with what looked like a light wave, that blood tiger was directly slapped apart by this palm, turning into a rain of blood and dissipating.

"Chu Xuan!"

Looking at the familiar back in front of him, Tan Ziming was almost moved to tears, exclaiming in surprise: "Boss Chu, you came so quickly!"

The others also looked over one after another.

"Chu Xuan!"

"It's Chu Xuan!"

Xu Shuya and the others all showed expressions of joy.

And those Martial Artist from the Blood Shadow Sect, their expressions changed drastically. Recognizing Chu Xuan as well, they couldn't help but exclaim one after another: "This is the person who caused havoc in the Cangyun Sect!"

"Wasn't he already cursed to death by the Sect Master?"

"How could he appear here?"

Those people were terrified and immediately wanted to flee, but in the next second, blade light flashed before their eyes, their heads flew high into the air, and they were all swallowed by the Fire of Nirvana.

[You killed eight Cangyun World invaders, your spirituality value +13580]

"Boss Chu, these are just small fries. There are two more experts from the Cangyun World trapped inside the flame dueling ground..." Xu Shuya reminded him anxiously.

Boom!

The giant flame not far away suddenly shook, and two somewhat disheveled blood-colored figures flew out one after another.

"A bunch of ants, I want you all to die!"

"Slaughter them all and turn them into blood energy to nourish me; only then can I vent the hatred in my heart!"

The two of them were ferocious, roaring up at the sky.

However, when their gazes fell downwards and met the gaze of Chu Xuan on the ground, they were all stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically.

"Mountain of Corpses!"

"Sea of Blood!"

The two of them did not choose to run away; instead, they gritted their teeth fiercely, and visions appeared behind each of them. Bursts of blood energy surged out, and they charged towards Chu Xuan below.

"Both are level 13 Martial Artist; it's the perfect time to test my new Divine Ability..."

A cold glint flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes. With a wave of his large hand, a hundred-meter mountain suddenly appeared in the Void Realm and crashed down with a thunderous tremor.
