Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold-Chapter 49: The Old Monster Emerges from Seclusion

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Old Monster Emerges from Seclusion

"Innate Spirit Body?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar term.

Lin Lang’s heart was slightly stirred.

Ouyang Yunzhi slightly raised her head, pacing back and forth in the study while explaining:

"The Innate Spirit Body refers to a physique that can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi! It’s also the threshold for cultivating the Martial Dao!"

"Just a threshold?" Lin Lang was a little unconvinced. "What about the ceiling?"

"The ceiling is naturally the Martial Arts Sacred Body!"

At this topic, Ouyang Yunzhi’s eyes seemed to shine!

"The Sacred Body can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi extremely efficiently, something the Spirit Body can only dream of!"

"It can also unleash its potential, strengthening the physical body to a terrifying degree in a short time!"

"In such a state, even without martial practice, purely relying on instinctive reactions, one can exchange moves with a Martial Arts Master!"

"Moreover! When the Sacred Body is cultivated to a certain level, it can control spiritual energy, attacking enemies a hundred steps away!"

...

The more Lin Lang listened, the stranger his expression became!

Efficient absorption?

Invincible Form?

Controlling spiritual energy?

Isn’t this describing me?!

Am I the Martial Arts Sacred Body?!

"Uh, even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand."

Ouyang Yunzhi suddenly stopped walking.

Looking at Lin Lang again, she said:

"In any case!"

"Since you are a Spirit Body and have the qualification to cultivate the Martial Dao..."

"As a descendant of the Martial Dao, I will pass down to you a set of Breathing Techniques to help you embark on the path of Martial Dao!"

She appeared very proud.

As if a rich person giving alms to a beggar.

Lin Lang, however, pondered—

No wonder.

Ouyang Yunzhi doesn’t have a Superpower Core herself but possesses such high combat power!

All because she’s a Martial Artist!

Combat power comes from the Martial Dao, not superpowers.

With the belief that having more skills doesn’t weigh one down, Lin Lang nodded:

"Then I must trouble you."

Ouyang Yunzhi took out her phone and said, "Add WeChat."

After Lin Lang added her on WeChat.

He received a file from her:

[Martial Arts Breathing Technique (Refined Edition)]

"Uh, truly keeping up with the times."

Lin Lang thought this Breathing Technique would be a Martial Arts Manual or a scroll of parchment.

Unexpectedly, it’s indeed a manual, but in electronic format?

"Alright. The Cultivation Technique is given to you, and how much you can cultivate depends on your own talent!"

After Ouyang Yunzhi finished speaking.

She walked out of the study.

Lin Lang was alone in the study, simply browsing through the Heart Method Mantra.

With his enhanced brain.

Perhaps because of the natural affinity of the "Martial Arts Sacred Body" for martial knowledge—

Either way, he easily memorized the entire content.

With a slight analysis, it was easy to discover—

This so-called Breathing Technique was essentially an upgraded version of the meditation technique he usually used to absorb Red Mist!

He sat cross-legged and attempted to run it.

Instantly!

His body seemed to become a bottomless black hole, attracting the rolling red mist from afar, surging towards him like a tide!

And this time!

After the red mist entered his body.

It followed the meridians dispersing throughout his body.

Devoured and absorbed by the cells everywhere.

Transforming into life’s reserve energy!

This way of absorbing red mist was indeed much more efficient than before!

"Draw Qi into the body, Martial Dao Foundation?"

This phrase inexplicably surfaced in Lin Lang’s mind.

It reinforced his belief even more.

That he seemed to have some unspeakable connection with the Martial Dao.

He boldly continued his speculation—

This vast red mist should be the spiritual energy referred to by Ouyang Yunzhi!

So, this red mist crisis is essentially the revival of spiritual energy?

This also explains why Ouyang Lingzhi said the red mist is not a crisis, but a weapon.

Regarding this Breathing Technique.

For now, Lin Lang only dabbled.

Did not dare continue absorbing recklessly.

Otherwise, at his current level, he could absorb half the district’s red mist in one breath!

Who knows what kind of disturbance that would cause!

...

E Building Unit 1, Room 101.

A simple living room, a glowing array pattern suddenly appeared on the floor!

The next moment!

An aged hunched figure appeared within.

Under his feet, the light of the array pattern gradually dimmed and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"The process of spiritual energy revival has been greatly accelerated, could there be some variable?"

The old man’s brows furrowed.

Then an extremely powerful telekinesis was released!

...

2202.

Lin Lang suddenly sensed a powerful telekinesis, trying to seize control over the Xingfu District area!

"Another expert?"

But, although this telekinesis was strong, it was only so compared to others.

Lin Lang’s telekinesis was too abnormal.

It had transcended the realm of ordinary telekinesis.

It was almost impossible to be breached by others’ telekinesis, or even be detected!

Instead, the owner of that telekinesis was easily traced back and locked by Lin Lang:

[Ouyang Baili]

[Combat Power: B]

"Surname Ouyang, extremely high combat power, yet lacking a Superpower Core..."

Lin Lang had a rough idea in his mind—

"Isn’t this the master of that little girl, the one with the nickname of a thousand-year-old monster?"

"He should also be a martial cultivator!"

"B-Class combat power, indeed rare in the world!"

His presence suddenly appeared in the district.

Either he just arrived.

Or he had been here all along, using some method to hide his existence.

Under Lin Lang’s telekinesis surveillance,

The old monster left the door, heading straight towards Lin Lang—

He must be coming for Ouyang Yunzhi.

Soon enough!

There was a knock on the door.

Then the sound of someone opening the door and Ouyang Yunzhi’s surprised voice was heard:

"Old monster! Why are you out of seclusion?!"

"No manners! Call me Master!"

Only then did Lin Lang get up unhurriedly and walked out of the study.

In the living room, Gu Fei and other women were present.

Seeing Lin Lang come, they all stood behind him.

Ouyang Yunzhi and the old monster were at the door, resembling a pair of grandfather and granddaughter.

The old monster looked very ordinary, around sixty to seventy years old, dressed very simply, just like a skinny old farmer!

Yet his eyes were very bright, described as piercingly sharp!

His gaze scanned everyone present, and he gave a hearty smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen! I apologize for the intrusion!"

"Each of you has an extraordinary appearance, surely you are people with great destiny!"

"It’s truly an honor for my inept disciple to know all of you!"

"Especially this young man, you have quite the fortune! These ladies are not only beautiful but also have extraordinary fates! With them by your side, your life will certainly be smooth sailing!"

This sudden compliment caught Gu Fei and the others off guard.

They just felt that this old man was quite polite!

Knowing his identity, Ning Shuangyu quickly greeted:

"Senior! I am Ning Shuangyu, the deputy team leader of the Vermilion Bird Squad of the Special Action Bureau of Bright Moon City! I came to Xingfu District to seek your assistance..."

The old monster replied:

"Little girl, I’m afraid I can’t help you much! I temporarily came out of seclusion this time just to entrust a matter to my disciple, I have to go back later!"

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Shuangyu’s eyes dimmed.

Ouyang Yunzhi, however, asked puzzledly:

"Old monster, what else do you have to entrust?"

The old monster sighed and said:

"This time’s great calamity has had a variable appear!"

"Look, the red mist here has been completely devoured! With such a large amount of spiritual qi, who knows what terrifying existence it will nurture!"

"If it’s some alien race trying to seize our human race’s destiny, that would be troublesome!"

"The urgent task at hand! You must quickly spread the Breathing Technique, cultivate more martial artists to deal with the impending doomsday crisis!"

Everyone was listening in confusion.

Only Lin Lang had a subtle expression—

Absorbing the red mist?

So in the end.

The variable refers to me, huh?

Then you can go back to your seclusion assured!

I’m also part of the human race, not some foreign entity!

Ouyang Yunzhi listened to the old monster, and with a solemn face, said:

"I understand, Master!"

"As long as you understand."

After this.

The old monster bowed to Ning Shuangyu again:

"Miss Ning, I still need to go back to seclusion, really can’t spare time, can’t help you! However, you can take Yunzhi with you!"

"Though my disciple’s current talent is average, and she might be a bit slow-witted, not very useful!"

"Her looks are also unremarkable, compared to you all, she falls far short!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Yunzhi immediately protested in dissatisfaction:

"Old monster, is that how you talk about your disciple?!"

The old monster gestured for her to calm down and continued:

"But all of this is because there’s a seal within her! Sealing away her fortune!"

"Therefore, I hope you all can help find someone on earth with a Martial Arts Sacred Body to dual cultivate with her!"

"Thus the seal on her can be unlocked, allowing her to be reborn!"

As he spoke, the old monster’s gaze intentionally or unintentionally fell on Lin Lang, as if emphasizing to him alone:

"After this, she will not only become more beautiful! Moreover, the person who dual cultivates with her will also benefit!"

"By then, she can be of great help to you all!"

Lü Su Ran whispered back behind Lin Lang:

"What does dual cultivation mean?"

Lin Lang calmly replied:

"Sleeping together."

"Oh!"

Lü Su Ran’s face turned red, and she said no more.

"Master! Why do you have to say everything out loud!"

Ouyang Yunzhi complained bashfully.

The old monster sighed and said:

"These people are all blessed individuals! Perhaps your fortune is hidden among them! Alright, I have to return to seclusion now. Farewell, young friends!"

With that said.

He hurriedly left.

Not leaving a trace behind.

As if he never came.

Lin Lang stood still, looking at the little girl Ouyang Yunzhi, his expression growing stranger.

Send me the Breathing Technique?

The variable of devouring red mist?

Seeking the Martial Arts Sacred Body?

And dual cultivation?

Why does it feel?

This girl is basically here for me?
