Chapter 57: Chapter 44 Death Realm!_2

Zhao Junyu had to shut down his live broadcast for the reason of a broken capital chain...

It seemed now the shutdown wasn’t going to happen.

But.

What could he play in the next live broadcast to get a ton of likes?

Knock, knock, knock!

Someone was knocking at the door, interrupting Wu Xiaode’s train of thought.

"Elder Qian?"

"Brother Wu, come out for some watermelon."

"...Okay."

Wu Xiaode opened the door and walked out to see a nicely cut watermelon on the table.

The rain outside had temporarily stopped.

Little Shi was munching on watermelon and smiled at him when he came out.

"Try it, we grew it ourselves."

Elder Qian was holding a book in one hand and a piece of watermelon in the other, beckoning Wu Xiaode to come over and eat.

Wu Xiaode approached the table, picked up a piece of watermelon, and while eating he asked:

"Are you reading a book?"

"Yeah, these are some secret manuals passed down from our ancestors. They contain many explanations on cultivating Innate Power," said Qian Mingkui without looking up.

Wu Xiaode shook his head and continued to eat his watermelon.

Actually, it was quite strange.

For so many years, no one had manifested Innate Power.

Until a few months ago.

The world started to change, with various omens appearing.

Then people began to awaken.

Zhao Junyu had confided this to him in private.

According to many speculations on the internet, it was commonly accepted that it was a sign similar to the "Spiritual Energy revival" mentioned in some novels.

But Zhao Junyu said it wasn’t so.

In the past, although no one had awakened, monsters hadn’t appeared either.

Human civilization was just that, human civilization.

But now, although humans had started awakening, the entire world seemed to be sliding towards an unpredictable direction.

"Is there anything worth talking about?" Wu Xiaode asked with interest.

"There is an interesting line," Qian Mingkui replied.

"What is it?"

"It says that once Innate Power awakens, one must quickly cultivate it, elevating it beyond the current world’s limit. In doing so, one will face a certain catastrophe. If that catastrophe is survived, it will bring about a transformation as profound as the rebirth of a phoenix from ashes."

"Beyond the world’s limit..."

Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.

Ya had mentioned before, 10 points of Soul Power is a threshold.

The head of the Defense Bureau also said—

"There is basically no one whose human soul power can surpass 10 points."

This proved that Awakeners above 10 points must be quite formidable experts.

After all, the current world limit was 10 points of Soul Power.

In that case...

Professionals with more than 10 points of Soul Power, haven’t they all experienced this ordeal?

Suddenly, a noise came from the main gate of the martial arts school.

Little Shi said, "Dad, listen."

"Hm? Sounds like someone’s knocking? Who would come to my rural martial arts school in such stormy weather?"

Qian Mingkui grabbed an umbrella and ran across the training ground, peered through the peephole, and then opened the door.

"Brother Lu, my, why have you come back again?" asked Qian Mingkui, half surprised, half wary.

"Don’t call me Brother Lu. My full name is Lu Renyi. Is the expert of your martial arts school still here?" Lu Renyi asked, wiping the rain off his face.

"He is, he’s here!"

"Quickly take me to him."

"...Do you have some business?"

"Let’s go inside and talk, don’t worry, I’m not here to cause trouble."

"Okay."

In the storm, Qian Mingkui holding an umbrella, led Lu Renyi back into the house, limping.

As soon as Lu Renyi entered, he saw Wu Xiaode eating watermelon.

"You’re looking for me?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes."

"I remember the protection fee for this month has already been paid, is there anything else?"

"There is."

Without caring about anything else, Lu Renyi took out his phone, transferred the money back first, and then typed a line:

"Didn’t recognize Mount Tai before my eyes, please forgive my offense."

After finishing typing, he sent the message, threw the phone aside, and with a "plop" sound, knelt on the ground.

Qian Mingkui jumped with fright and hurriedly said:

"What is this? Get up, Little Yi."

Lu Renyi shook his head and said, "Me and my brothers didn’t recognize Mount Tai before our eyes, please forgive us, Immortal."

Wu Xiaode picked up the phone and looked.

The money had all transferred, and there was even tens of thousands more.

"How come there’s extra money?" he asked.

"That is a small token of respect from me, please accept it, Immortal," Lu Renyi said.

Wu Xiaode set the phone aside, carefully sized up the other party.

The young ruffian was very calm, obviously thinking through all kinds of situations before coming.

——Not only observant, but also capable of bending and stretching.

Very promising.

"Do some legitimate business from now on, and stop extorting on the streets," Wu Xiaode said.

"Yes, my brothers and I will never do that kind of thing again," Lu Renyi sincerely said.

Without any fighting or injuring people, the matter was resolved.

Very good.

Wu Xiaode’s mood improved a bit, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don’t kneel, get up and eat some melon seeds. Wait until the rain stops before you leave."

But Lu Renyi bowed deeply and said loudly, "Please take me as your disciple, Master. I will surely reform and be a new man from now on, serving by your side."

"Take a disciple? I’m not qualified to take disciples."

Wu Xiaode was dumbfounded and about to say a few words to send the other away when suddenly, an unexpected change occurred—

The ground began shaking violently.

"Earthquake!"

They all exclaimed in unison.

Qian Mingkui hugged Little Shi, Wu Xiaode helped Lu Renyi up, and the four of them dashed out as if flying.

Luckily, the earthquake lasted only a short while.

The rain outside was heavier.

They couldn’t stay inside either.

This was quite awkward.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, went back into the house alone, and came out with an umbrella for Little Shi.

The four of them stood in the martial arts field, not daring to move randomly.

——In fact, if it were just an earthquake, everyone would have a certain expectation in their hearts, knowing how to deal with it, and knowing what the consequences of an earthquake are like.

But at this time, all sorts of strange phenomena were happening frequently around the world.

The fear was that the earthquake was not just an earthquake.

Wu Xiaode was on high alert when suddenly the earth shook again a few times.

From the distant Capital, a deep, roaring sound seemed to travel far and wide.

Everyone’s faces changed.

"Lu Renyi, are you a local?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Ah, no, I originally came here to work, and then started to mix—"

"You go with Elder Qian, take some money—I’ll transfer more to you, and you immediately go buy food and daily necessities!" Wu Xiaode lowered his head and transferred the money back.

"Yes! Immortal!" Lu Renyi said.

"You think the world is going to be in chaos?" Qian Mingkui asked.

"In any case, it’s better to be prepared. My sister’s house burned down. I’ll bring her here later to live with us. We all need to eat; we must stockpile food," Wu Xiaode said.

"Alright, we’re on it," Qian Mingkui said.

"Take Little Shi with you, because I might need to go back for a bit and will come over later," Wu Xiaode added.

"Alright!" Qian Mingkui also said.

Qian Mingkui, holding an umbrella, was about to leave.

Lu Renyi, however, asked him to wait and braved the wind and rain to fetch an electric tricycle used for hauling goods.

Wu Xiaode suddenly felt something and looked up.

"Look quickly!" he shouted.

Everyone looked up together.

In the distant sky, a vast creature engulfed in emerald green flames could be seen.

Within the flames’ embrace, its complete and graceful skeleton could be seen, as well as the two intense pale flames in its deep eye sockets.
