120: upgrade

Near the Air Raid Shelter, a continuous stream of zombies entered the hole.

The zombies kept joining, walking from day until night.

This scene was witnessed by an eagle perched on a nearby tree.

This eagle was precisely the monitoring device placed there by Yang Chunlai.

Yang Chunlai couldn't help but frown.

If he relied solely on himself to deal with so many zombies, it would be too much of a waste of time.

He needed his subordinates to share the burden.

These subordinates were all rookies; he needed to boost their strength.

Thus, he gathered his subordinates for a meeting.

The subordinates all expressed their willingness to die for Big Brother.

Big Brother kindly said, “I am willing to believe in your loyalty, but your strength is insufficient and will only hold me back.”

Everyone was shocked. It was true; compared to Big Brother, their strength was merely the light of a firefly against the light of the sun.

Everyone felt a wave of shame.

Yang Chunlai said, “Heh heh, there's no need to worry. Although your strength is lacking, I can level you up.”

“Level up!”

Everyone cried out in surprise.

Everyone acts for themselves. Big Brother is willing to waste Spiritual Power to raise our Realm?

Regardless of whether they believed him, Yang Chunlai instructed the Hall Master of the Black Tortoise Hall, Feng Rugui, to stand in the center of the Secret Chamber.

Feng Rugui was tall and imposing, like an unshakable, towering iron pagoda.

He habitually wore a set of jet-black, tight-fitting clothes.

The signature giant turtle shell strapped to his back had become his unique and eye-catching symbol in the Jianghu.

In the Jianghu, Feng Rugui was renowned for his unparalleled defensive capabilities; many enemies could only retreat in fear when faced with his rock-solid defense, returning without success.

Filled with excitement and apprehension, Feng Rugui walked to the center.

Following Big Brother's instructions, he sat cross-legged.

A mysterious and tranquil atmosphere permeated the Secret Chamber.

Feng Rugui closed his eyes tightly, his surrounding aura restrained, as if he had merged with the environment.

Without a word, Yang Chunlai stepped directly in front of Feng Rugui.

He raised his palm high, and incomparably powerful energy gathered in its center.

That power was like a caged beast, restlessly stirring in his palm, emitting whooshing sounds.

“Bang!”

A deafening crash suddenly rang out, like a bolt from the blue, or perhaps ten thousand tons of thunder exploding in the Secret Chamber.

The loud noise caused the air in the Secret Chamber to oscillate violently.

Dust rustled down from the walls, and the ground trembled slightly.

Feng Rugui only felt a powerful, overwhelming force, like a turbulent, surging tide, pouring into his body without obstruction.

This power rampaged through his Meridians like a runaway wild horse, wantonly impacting every single one of them.

In an instant, Feng Rugui's face turned as pale as paper, completely drained of color, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like broken strings of pearls.

His body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, as if he were enduring immense pain.

However, this seemingly violent power did not cause him substantial harm; instead, it was like a magical key, slowly opening the mysterious, long-sealed door within his body.

As this power continuously poured in, Feng Rugui felt his Meridians gradually becoming wider and smoother under the scouring of this mighty force.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians, which were once obscure and difficult to understand, like a maze, now appeared clearly in his perception, like brilliant stars being lit one by one.

He could clearly feel his Internal Energy surging like a mighty river within his Meridians, rapidly climbing.

His Realm, which had been stagnant and stuck as if in a swamp, now advanced with unstoppable momentum, rising steadily higher.

“Crack!”

A crisp and pleasant sound, like the shattering of jade or the snapping of an iron chain, clearly emanated from within Feng Rugui's body.

In this instant, he successfully achieved a Breakthrough in the martial art renowned for being indestructible: the skill of [Invulnerability to Blades and Spears].

His defensive capability, which could previously only barely withstand ordinary attacks, achieved a qualitative leap at this moment, reaching an unprecedented new height.

At this moment, even if he faced a full-strength strike from a top expert in the Jianghu, he could remain calm and respond with composure, his heart filled with confidence and assurance.

Feng Rugui slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with shock and reverence.

Looking at Yang Chunlai, who was like a deity before him, the admiration in his heart surged like a mighty river, continuous and unending.

He knelt on one knee, his voice filled with devotion and respect, saying, “Big Brother, your shocking and extraordinary strength truly makes this Younger Brother admire you completely. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if it means dying ten thousand times.”

Yang Chunlai revealed a warm smile, like the gentle sun in springtime.

He reached out and gently helped Feng Rugui up, saying earnestly, “This is only the beginning.”

“The road ahead in the Jianghu is still long and arduous. We must walk hand-in-hand, moving forward together, only then can we carve out a world that belongs to us in this treacherous Jianghu.”

Everyone was stunned.

They saw sweat pouring down Feng Rugui's face.

Yet, Big Brother's expression remained unchanged; transferring Spiritual Power seemed as easy as brushing away cobwebs.

After resolving Feng Rugui's leveling up issue, Yang Chunlai did not pause for a moment.

Next was the Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall, Li Dahai.

Li Dahai was tall and robust, like a towering mountain peak, giving off a powerful sense of oppression.

Li Dahai was also preparing to sit down as instructed.

Upon seeing Li Dahai, Yang Chunlai did not hesitate at all. He immediately held his long spear and fiercely plunged it in.

Instantly, a powerful stream of Spiritual Power, like a bursting flood, continuously poured into Li Dahai's body through the long spear.

Li Dahai felt a scorching hot current, like a rushing fire snake, rapidly rising from behind, spreading throughout his entire body in the blink of an eye.

His body began to heat up, and a faint red glow appeared on his skin, as if he was enveloped by a layer of blazing fire.

As the Spiritual Power continuously flowed in, Li Dahai felt a marvelous and astonishing transformation occurring in his body.

His strength was constantly increasing; every muscle was filled with power, seemingly containing endless energy.

His control over the long spear also became more proficient, as if the long spear had become a part of his body, communicating with his thoughts.

Just then, mysterious and ancient images suddenly appeared in his mind.

In these images, there was a majestic fierce tiger, galloping freely through a dense forest, roaring across the mountains.

There was an unparalleled expert, holding a long spear, executing a set of exquisite Spearmanship, where every move and posture contained endless power and wisdom.

Li Dahai knew that this was the Cultivation method and essence of the divine skill, [Tiger Roar Forest].

Li Dahai immersed himself in this marvelous and profound realization, and the long spear in his hand began to dance unconsciously.

His Spearmanship became sharper and more masterful.

Every thrust of the spear was accompanied by a deep and shocking sound of a tiger's roar, as if a real fierce tiger was roaring. That sound seemed capable of piercing one's Soul, sending chills down the spine.

The surrounding air was driven by the long spear, forming visible waves of Qi, like sharp blades, causing the surrounding trees to rustle and leaves to scatter.

A long time later, Li Dahai stopped the long spear in his hand.

His face was covered in sweat, but his eyes were full of excitement and gratitude.

He looked at Yang Chunlai, knelt on one knee, and said, “Big Brother, thank you for your careful nurturing and selfless instruction. I, Li Dahai, swear to follow you until death.”

“I will never leave you for all eternity, and I will clear all obstacles for you in the Jianghu without hesitation.”
