6: Storm is coming
Only one day remained until the highest-level meeting in China.
“Reporting, Chief Instructor Bai, the statistics for each group’s Cultivation progress are as follows: Among the ten thousand Elite Soldiers, twelve have Cultivated to Body Refinement Stage eight, one hundred thirty-six to Body Refinement Stage seven, eight hundred forty-six to Body Refinement Stage six… and seven hundred to Body Refinement Stage three.”
Cold Front saluted Bai Yang and then ran towards the Level 1 blood pools.
“I can’t believe that in just five short days, I’ve already achieved Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.”
Bai Yang was filled with emotion.
He had only just barely broken through to Body Refining Stage three after three days of Cultivation, but the demonic path points generated by the ten thousand Elite Soldiers Cultivating the Demonic Path allowed him to directly Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
“No wonder the demonic path points required for upgrading keep increasing. Otherwise, if all 1.4 billion Chinese Cultivated the Demonic Path, I would directly become the Mixed World Devil King.”
Looking at the remaining thirteen thousand demonic path points, Bai Yang shook his head helplessly.
During the Body Refining Stage, each level up only required a few hundred demonic path points, but Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Early Stage needed three thousand demonic path points, Foundation Establishment Middle Stage needed six thousand demonic path points, Foundation Establishment Late Stage needed ten thousand demonic path points, and Foundation Establishment Great Perfection needed forty thousand demonic path points!
“Three hundred thousand demonic path points to Breakthrough to Jin Dan Initial Stage? Why don’t you just rob someone?!”
Bai Yang fiercely threatened the light screen in his mind, but the light screen did not respond at all. A trace of Spiritual Pressure was accidentally leaked due to his agitated emotions.
“Officer Bai, please retract your Divine Ability!”
Liu Zhendao was suffocated by this trace of Spiritual Pressure and was utterly astonished by Bai Yang’s strength.
Recalling the call from the Grand Elder yesterday, instructing him to protect Bai Yang at all costs, Liu Zhendao inwardly grumbled that it would be good enough if he didn't need Bai Yang to protect him...
“I’m sorry…”
Bai Yang snapped back to reality and gave an awkward smile, quickly changing the subject: “Prepare the helicopter. I need to go see the Grand Elder, and also call over a few academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I have important Materials to report.”
“Yes!”
............
“Little Friend Bai, I see you’ve been busy as a bee in the Military Region these past few days. Do you finally have time to visit us old men today?”
Wang Zhongping’s complexion was rosy and his voice full of vigor, his silver hair even subtly turning black.
“Three Elders, I see your complexions have improved quite a bit, and you’re much more spirited than before!”
Bai Yang was both delighted and touched. The three Elders before him had dedicated their lives to China, to the point that at just over seventy years old, their bodies were already so frail.
“This is all thanks to your Celestial Demon… bah, Huaxia Cultivation Method. Oh, by the way, you mentioned you came to us today to report important Materials?”
Long War Mountain realized there were also three academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences nearby, so he quickly swallowed the last three words and swiftly changed the topic.
“This young friend, so you are the founder of the Huaxia Cultivation Method?!”
Qian Zhonghai was visibly excited. He rushed forward, grabbed Bai Yang’s right hand, and shook it vigorously, making Bai Yang feel a bit embarrassed.
After all, the original name of this thing was “Heavenly Demon Cultivation Method.” The Three Grand Elders had made a decision to rename it “Huaxia Cultivation Method,” and even specifically noted that it was compiled by Bai Yang, which made him feel quite awkward.
“Elder Qian, please take a look at this.”
Bai Yang spent ten thousand demonic path points to exchange for the [Ling Pressure Detector Blueprint] from the Demonic PathMall and handed it to Qian Zhonghai.
Since he needed three hundred thousand demonic path points to upgrade to Jin Dan Initial Stage, he might as well exchange for some useful items first.
Qian Zhonghai took the blueprint and, along with Academician Deng and Academician Sun beside him, began to examine it. Not long after, tears welled up in his eyes, and Academician Sun Jiadong was so agitated he clutched his heart, almost fainting.
“Superb craftsmanship, superb craftsmanship! The explanation of information transmission principles on the blueprint completely surpasses this era. This is a Genius’s concept!”
Qian Zhonghai’s hand, holding the blueprint, trembled incessantly, as if he were in Qi Deviation, staring intently at the blueprint.
“Not only that, but this instrument innovatively introduces the concept of Spiritual Pressure, and its argumentation, from all aspects, has a credibility of over 99%!”
Deng Jiaxian snatched the blueprint from Qian Zhonghai’s hand. He kept shaking the blueprint, which was interfering with his viewing!
“Three Academicians, if I need a Ling Pressure Detector by tomorrow, can the Chinese Academy of Sciences produce it?”
Bai Yang interrupted. He couldn’t understand the string of gibberish on the blueprint; he just wanted to know if the instrument could be obtained before the highest-level meeting in China tomorrow.
Qian Zhonghai pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and stated rigorously: “According to the description on the blueprint, the most advanced machine tools at the Chinese Academy of Sciences can produce it within eight hours. It’s just understanding the principles that will be difficult, requiring at least two and a half years to thoroughly research.”
Bai Yang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. To make the high-ranking officials of China realize the seriousness of the Vicious Beast threat, the Ling Pressure Detector was an indispensable part.
............
At the same time.
“Daddy, there’s a big red bird in the sky!”
A little girl innocently pointed at the red fighter jet streaking across the sky, while the middle-aged man excitedly said:
“No, that’s not a big bird. That’s a Vermilion Bird-20 fighter jet, one of our China’s most advanced fighter jets!”
The man was excited, pulling out his phone to post the video on Douyin, but then he saw constant pop-up discussions from Chinese on various news apps.
“Fellow netizens, what’s going on? I’ve already seen no less than five Vermilion Bird-20s flying towards the capital today. Are we going to attack Island Country?”
“+3, coordinate Northwest China. Just now I saw a third-generation qinglong fighter flying towards the capital. Are there any capital netizens who can explain the situation?”
“Fellow netizens, calm down. I’m here to scroll Douyin, not to see a netizen gathering.”
“Capital local here. I’m off work today. I counted all morning at the gate, fifty-six Red Flag cars passed by. The capital is currently under full lockdown, even a passing dog has to go through security.”
“My direct superior is a Moon Emblem-level big shot. He received a notice to go to the capital for a meeting. The last time Moon Emblem-level big shots were called for a meeting was for the self-defense counterattack against the Flying Pancake Country. Think about it, think about it carefully…”
“A big shot appears in the comment section! Just thinking about it is exciting. Three hundred big shots in China holding the Moon Emblem Medal gathered in the capital. Something big is probably going to happen!”
“It’s probably to deal with the economic sanctions from the US. After all, our China’s technological development is too fast, and the US can’t stand others being stronger than them.”
That afternoon, various short video platforms and forums were in an uproar, with all sorts of bizarre speculations emerging endlessly.
Countless Chinese were hotly discussing this matter.
The Weibo hot search list from first to tenth place was filled with capital keywords, and Wang Feng’s concert once again was pushed out of the top ten.
Bai Yang stood on the Forbidden City gate. The once bustling streets were cleared by guards today, with soldiers armed with live ammunition every ten steps along the roadsides, giving a sense of impending storm.
Hopefully, tomorrow will proceed smoothly!
