239: Chapter 239 Three Months Later

On the other side.

"Is this the King Kais Fist? It truly lives up to its reputation," Mu Cheng had to admit.

However, being competitive, he wouldn't easily use Dou Qi.

"Sister Luoluou, you'd better get serious." Suddenly striking a sprinting pose, he emitted a similar aura from his body.

"Hmm? Is this King Kais Fist? No... this kid is hiding quite a bit, but it looks like he hasn't mastered it yet." Xiao Luolu saw through it at a glance.

"No need. This move of yours is a bit like King Kais Fist, but unfortunately... you haven't fully mastered it yet." She threw another fierce punch at Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng felt particularly helpless; he only had that one move, and it required charging up... so he could only be the one taking the hits.

"Ah, does it have to be that ruthless?" Even so, Mu Cheng refused to give in and still didn't use Dou Qi.

"This is real fist-to-flesh combat. I haven't seen such a brilliant duel in a long time."

"I heard these two are Chiefs. I really never expected there to be Chiefs with such strength."

"It looks like Dou Qi but seemingly isn't. The Chief... she's just too powerful!"

...Everyone at the base watching the live broadcast was buzzing with discussion.

Inside the control room.

"This looks a bit like King Kais Fist. Wasn't it lost over two thousand years ago?" Su Xiaoyi recognized it but couldn't be certain.

Lu Lanlan: "Can't you be more confident? This is the genuine King Kais Fist... but how does the Chief know it?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think too much... the battle should be over soon, I guess!" Su Xiaoyi's head was spinning right now.

She looked like the third emoji in a phone...

"It's not certain who will win or lose." Lu Lanlan saw everything clearly.

Mu Cheng was indeed at a disadvantage right now, but he could get up and counterattack every time, like an unkillable cockroach.

"Hehe, you're quite something, kid." Xiao Luolu had to admit that Mu Cheng truly had perseverance.

"Even the Strongest Body Tempering Technique has no effect. It seems Sister Luoluou... hasn't used her full strength, and her power should be far beyond this." Mu Cheng began to calculate in his mind.

He finally decided to provoke her. "Sister Luoluou, if you want to defeat me... this is far from enough!"

"Oh? Brave kid... you intend for me to help you complete a Breaking and Rebuilding. I'll grant your wish today." Xiao Luolu saw through Mu Cheng's little scheme at a glance.

As expected, there were no surprises; Xiao Luolu's aura suddenly surged violently.

"This is the thirty-two-fold King Kais Fist!"

A series of combos landed on Mu Cheng, cracking several of his bones... but his recovery speed far exceeded the rate at which damage was dealt.

"Good kid, it seems you've already completed the fourth Breaking and Rebuilding. Today I'll help you finish the fifth, and also see exactly what the limit of my King Kais Fist is."

Sixty-four-fold, one hundred and twenty-eight-fold.

It finally reached a staggering five hundred and twelve-fold, which was Xiao Luolu's current limit...

"Hmm? Still not enough?" She was also very puzzled. This five hundred and twelve-fold power wouldn't even have trouble dealing with an Iron-Armored Dragon.

But hitting Mu Cheng, it was practically useless...

"Ah, this... it's not really working, Sister Luoluou." Mu Cheng also expressed that he was questioning his life.

Aside from his whole body aching, this fifth Breaking and Rebuilding... had no effect at all.

"I don't believe in this nonsense, you'd better be careful!" Xiao Luolu completely let loose, and her Dou Qi erupted.

This ten-fold-plus increase could even one-shot a God of Destruction powerhouse.

But to everyone's surprise, hitting Mu Cheng... it merely destroyed that small island, having no effect on him at all.

"Holy crap! Isn't this too fierce? An island of over thirty kilometers is just gone like that?"

"If this hit an Iron-Armored Dragon... wouldn't it be an easy one-shot? This is impossible... I must have seen it wrong."

"That strike just now could probably one-shot an Iron-Armored Dragon! But... is he even human? He's fine?"

...The people at the base were in an uproar.

"Hmm? A tie? This... are they still human? Where on earth did Sister Ninger find these two Chiefs?" Su Xiaoyi could no longer remain calm.

Lu Lanlan was also in disbelief. "Good grief... now I can be certain, they are not the powerhouses we know."

On the other side.

"Sister Luoluou... what exactly is the situation? Why can't I complete the fifth Breaking and Rebuilding?" Mu Cheng also looked bewildered.

He could clearly feel his bones breaking, yet it had no effect on him whatsoever...

Xiao Luolu: "Brute force alone definitely won't work anymore. To complete the fifth Breaking and Rebuilding, you might need Xiao Jiu's help. Her Purgatory Fire might do the trick."

"Um... actually, the fourth time was done using her Purgatory Fire." Mu Cheng was instantly incredibly embarrassed.

"Then pretend I didn't say anything. Completing it is almost... impossible now, but once achieved, it will be super abnormal." Xiao Luolu was out of ideas too.

However, one thing was certain: in terms of pure physical force... it was likely no one could hurt Mu Cheng anymore.

One could only imagine how terrifying completing the fifth time would be...

"Forget it, let's head back first!" Mu Cheng didn't want to dwell on this and flew toward the Sea Fortress Base.

Xiao Luolu followed closely behind. "With the commotion we made... we'll probably have our hands full."

"Yeah, with your mecha piloting skills, Sister Luoluou, you probably couldn't hide even if you wanted to." Mu Cheng naturally understood her meaning.

Xiao Luolu: "I never intended to hide. The reason we couldn't teach others on our Blue-White Star was that the level of the mechas wasn't high enough."

It wasn't that she didn't want to, but two thousand years ago, there were no mechas that met these requirements.

"Alright then! I'll also study the mechas here. Maybe after we go back... we can mass-produce them." Mu Cheng was completely speechless.

Xiao Luolu nodded: "Mhm, for this period, you'll be responsible for research, and I'll be responsible for teaching people."

Since they probably couldn't go back for a while, they might as well help as much as possible...

After returning to the base, the two began to act separately...

"This is the forging room... Brother Cheng, are you planning to forge something?" Su Xiaoyi asked after bringing Mu Cheng there.

Mu Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "Does qianji still exist now? You know, the backpack that can fly."

"qianji can indeed be forged, but for ordinary people... it's basically unnecessary; mechas are enough," Su Xiaoyi replied.

Mu Cheng: "I know how to make qianji... although I don't need it, I'll leave it for you!"

"Wait, let me research first. Doesn't it need a type of energy called spiritual power for replenishment now?"

He then asked rather awkwardly, "Um... is there a Talisman Array for this? Let me study it."

"This is called a Spirit Gathering Array." Su Xiaoyi didn't hesitate at all and took it out directly.

"This is similar to an Energy Gathering Array... wait a moment." Mu Cheng saw through it at a glance.

He immediately began to carve a new one...

"Brother Cheng... are you a Talisman Array master? This speed is unheard of." Su Xiaoyi watched with wide-eyed amazement.

Although she didn't know what Mu Cheng was carving, she could tell that his Talisman Array carving technique was extremely high.

"I suppose so! The Spirit Gathering Array you're using now has the flaw of slow charging."

In less than a minute, this brand-new Talisman Array was carved out by Mu Cheng...

"Isn't this over a dozen Talisman Arrays?" Su Xiaoyi was instantly dumbfounded, completely unable to understand it.

"Wait, the spiritual power here is so abundant, maybe it can directly condense into something like star-glow crystals." Mu Cheng suddenly reacted.

He started carving Talisman Arrays again...

Su Xiaoyi almost couldn't react. "Brother Cheng, those are called spirit stones; the fewer impurities, the higher the grade."

She thought: He doesn't even know about spirit stones?

"So they're called spirit stones. Wait a moment... this Spirit Gathering Array is relatively complex, give me ten minutes." Mu Cheng didn't take it seriously and operated with fierce efficiency...

Ten minutes, not a second more, not a second less.

"Finally finished." Mu Cheng didn't waste words, directly throwing out the Spirit Gathering Talisman Array and activating it.

"This... the absorption is too fierce!" Su Xiaoyi found it incredible, even completely unexpected.

Almost all the spiritual power in the vicinity was completely and thoroughly absorbed by this Spirit Gathering Talisman Array.

"Is this a spirit stone? Compared to a star-glow crystal... there truly doesn't seem to be much difference." Mu Cheng didn't mind this detail.

He picked up the condensed spirit stone and began to study it...

"Wow! Even top-grade spirit stones can be condensed?" Su Xiaoyi was completely stunned.

She even doubted her own eyes, rubbing them... and only after confirming again did she believe it was real.

"Is this thing very expensive?" Mu Cheng asked quite curiously.

Su Xiaoyi: "Of course it's expensive. star-glow crystals are rarely used for cultivation now; in terms of value, it's equivalent to a one-to-one exchange."

"Using spirit stones for cultivation? Can you tell me more?" Mu Cheng suddenly became very interested and asked.

Su Xiaoyi: "This... does Brother Cheng really not understand this?"

"If I said I came from two thousand years ago, would you believe me?" Mu Cheng asked back.

"From two thousand years ago? Right... it seems like everything can indeed be explained that way." Su Xiaoyi wasn't stupid.

Thinking back... everything could indeed be explained.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that... are you currently cultivating Bloodline Power?" Mu Cheng suddenly felt extremely awkward.

Su Xiaoyi: "Not just Bloodline Power, but also Mind Power, Mages, Dou Qi, Summoners... and very rare physiques."

"For example, my Absolute Zero, Lanlan's Overlord Sword Body, the Gu family's Bloodline of the Goddess of Life, and the Chu family's Double-Faced Demon God bloodline."

She explained everything in detail.

"Absolute Zero? Something's not right... why does it feel like you're way too weak?" The more Mu Cheng thought about it, the more he felt something was off.

Su Xiaoyi: "I can't help it, they're all incomplete cultivation techniques."

"Hmm? Cultivation techniques? Give me a few minutes." Mu Cheng understood instantly upon hearing this.

He took out a precious bone and began carving Transcendent Martial Arts...

"Is this a two-thousand-year-old precious bone? Brother Cheng... do you really come from two thousand years ago?" Su Xiaoyi was shocked.

"Maybe, probably! Try to comprehend it." In a short while, Mu Cheng finished carving the Absolute Zero Formula.

"This... is the Absolute Zero Formula." Su Xiaoyi had some knowledge of runes, but she couldn't understand them at all, let alone comprehend them.

"No, I... can't understand the runes."

"Can't understand? That's easy to fix." Mu Cheng had a sudden inspiration and simply used talisman paper to help translate it.

After a while: "Try cultivating again."

"I'll give it a try!" Su Xiaoyi quickly scanned it and memorized everything directly.

She sat down and began to cultivate...

In just a short while, the surrounding spiritual power... began to flow into her body in a continuous stream.

"What terrifying energy... is she going to break through to the Ninth Order?" Mu Cheng was also greatly surprised as he watched.

About ten minutes later.

"I've finally broken through the Ninth Order Peak and reached a new height, but I always feel that above the Ninth Order Peak... there are other realms." Su Xiaoyi also found it incredible after waking up.

Mu Cheng: "There are indeed many more realms. Can you sense the Shackles on your body?"

"I can't sense them," Su Xiaoyi replied.

"Although your realm has broken through the Ninth Order Peak, I still feel that compared to the Realm King God realm, you're still far, far behind." Mu Cheng also noticed something was wrong.

The Realm King God realm had far more than just this level of strength...

"Anyway, I can sense that I can still keep improving." Su Xiaoyi couldn't say exactly what it was either.

Mu Cheng: "Take it slowly in the future!"

"Um, Brother Cheng... since you can take out a heaven-defying technique like Absolute Zero, you must have many more, right?" Su Xiaoyi asked hesitantly.

"Of course, and at least a hundred thousand or so. The Absolute Zero I gave you is already considered top-tier." Mu Cheng understood her meaning instantly.

He thought for a moment and said, "When I have time, I'll help you translate all of them!"

"Brother Cheng... are you sure you're not joking? You have over a hundred thousand of these techniques?" Su Xiaoyi was shocked.

Mu Cheng nodded again and said, "Of course."

"Could it be that you really come from two thousand years ago?" Su Xiaoyi now had no choice but to believe it.

Mu Cheng also had no need to hide it. "Mhm, I don't know the reason I came here, but for me, it's also a learning opportunity."

"I can translate the techniques for you, but in exchange... I want to learn about these mechas and other things."

"That's no problem. If there's anything you don't understand, Brother Cheng, you can ask me anytime." Su Xiaoyi readily agreed.

Three months later.

"The techniques have all been translated. Is there still no news of the Monster King?" Mu Cheng asked.

Su Xiaoyi: "I don't know, it's as if it vanished into thin air."

"That's not very likely, is it? It's not just one Monster King." Mu Cheng instantly felt it was strange.

It would be one thing if they couldn't find one, but not finding many was indeed not normal.

"This... the training is basically almost done, it seems it's time to send more people to investigate." Su Xiaoyi had actually wanted to suggest this for a while.

Mu Cheng: "It's your own business, just decide for yourselves... I estimate that in a year or two, you won't need us to take action at all."

"I'll have Lanlan arrange it right away." Su Xiaoyi nodded in response.

During these three months, not only had Mu Cheng learned a lot, but Su Xiaoyi had also learned much.

Almost all the mechas were mastered by Mu Cheng, while Su Xiaoyi... had also learned many principles of formation arrays.

On the other side, Xiao Luolu had also been training people... now quite a few people could control mechas and release Dou Qi.

At the same time, she also upgraded her own mecha... by a level.

Another three days passed.

Su Xiaoyi: "Brother Cheng, we've detected a canyon. We'll probably have to trouble you for the specific details."

"No problem." Mu Cheng readily agreed.
