I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 127. Two things
Chapter 127: 127. Two things
Xiao Cha had always been fond of guns and cannons and the like, so when she acquired a set of advanced Blue Star Battle Armor, she was thrilled to bits.
She placed the battle armor by her bed, almost as if she intended to sleep while hugging it.
At the same time, the girl naturally hoped to harness this burst of Heart Energy to attempt a breakthrough in Marrow Cleansing.
She was quite confident in herself, but her happiness was far from the "surging tides of emotion" or the "boiling blood" required...
The next day, early in the morning.
Lu Li was the first to get up and started practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Wanqing came out a bit later and shivered as the cold air hit her.
She warmed her palms with her breath and began to move her youthful and graceful body, quickly forgetting the chill.
After practicing together for a while, even Tong Shao played in the yard, while Xiao Cha still had not gotten up.
Lu Li glanced at the girl’s room and asked, "Is there any hope?"
"It’s a bit uncertain..." Wanqing shook her head, "It’s too rushed; she isn’t really ready."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to Xiao Cha’s room swung open.
Dressed in her battle armor, she "thudded" into the courtyard, then "clatteringly" fell to the ground.
"Here I am, eating supplements suited for the Blood Exchange Realm and drinking Spiritual Tea, and still can’t break through... I’m such a failure."
Lu Li walked over and offered his hand, "It’s okay, my own practice won’t take long anyways. Don’t forget, I have Body Follows the Will~"
Wanqing also came over and extended her other hand, "I only need to practice up to Bone Forging, which isn’t difficult."
Together, they helped the disheartened Xiao Cha to her feet.
She grumbled, "I was so close to getting the inner breath to permeate into my bones, why couldn’t I do it?"
At that moment, Tong Shao came running over to console her, "Look on the bright side, no worries, after all, no one was counting on you..."
"You little brat!"
Xiao Cha reached out with claws bared, while Tong Shao screamed and turned to run away, the two of them frolicking and making a racket in the courtyard.
Tong Shao, stuck at home all day, rarely had someone to play with; her little face turned as excited as a red apple, and she started to sweat before long.
Lu Li watched them for a while, then suddenly asked, "Tong Shao... can’t go outside yet, can she?"
Wanqing sighed, "Better to be safe. If Yahang finds out, it’ll be troublesome. It’s just as well, the girl is growing fast; in a year or two, nobody will be able to recognize her."
"Yahang... damn it!"
Lu Li glanced at Xiao Cha in her battle armor, and at the two puppets in the storeroom, pondering whether he could annihilate Yahang for good.
Wanqing knew what Lu Li was thinking and spoke softly,
"Yahang has a lot of people, and the leader is in the Blood Exchange Realm. This realm is known as the ’Human-shaped Tank’ with the strength of 60,000 catties, and extremely difficult to deal with."
Lu Li was surprised, "Marrow Cleansing only gives you a strength of 6,000 catties, right? Is there nearly a tenfold difference in just one realm?"
"Yep, Blood Exchange is a qualitative transformation."
Wanqing had barely explained when Xiao Cha ran over and interjected,
"Talking about Blood Exchange? This realm requires stimulating the spine and brain marrow. If you’re not careful, you could end up a fool or a paralytic. Of course, it’s impressive to take such a significant risk~"
Lu Li said, "We’re talking about the Yahang Leader. I’m considering assassinating this person... Oh right~"
While he was speaking, Lu Li had a flash of inspiration, "Aren’t you lacking in Heart Energy? You could think about a solution from that angle."
Every time she finished a case, Miss Police would press her thighs together, her face flushed. This method was definitely reliable!
But Xiao Cha expressed her difficulty, "It’s not easy... Yahang is promoting Ice Soul Powder, which has created conflicts with the forces dealing in opium.
They’ve just had several fights after breaking off relations, and Yahang is gathering their good fighters in preparation. Uncle Chen even mentioned this when he visited yesterday."
Lu Li stayed silent, merely looking on with a smile.
As expected, Xiao Cha quickly got into the right mindset, her bright eyes becoming sharp and clear as she carefully considered,
"As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam grapple, it’s the fisherman who reaps the benefit. It’s the perfect time to pluck chestnuts from the fire while new and old poisons are skirmishing..."
"I’ll go gather some intel! We can discuss it when I get back~"
Xiao Cha stripped off her battle armor and ran off so quickly she was out of sight in a flash.
Wanqing said with a smile, "She’s really spirited. Young master, you know her well."
"It may be a stroke of inspiration, let’s hope everything goes as planned."
Lu Li casually responded before turning his attention to Tong Shao, who was climbing into the Battle Armor, protecting her with his spirit to prevent any harm to the young girl.
At that moment, Wanqing suddenly said in a quiet tone,
"Young Master... if it’s convenient, please ensure that the Yahang Leader—Ye Zhichao, doesn’t die too easily."
Lu Li’s expression shifted slightly as he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the gentle and graceful woman.
He saw her blind eyes vainly gazing at the gloomy sky as she softly said,
"This man was originally a high-ranking official in the army. Ten years ago, in the face of the Chuyun people, he didn’t fire a single shot and abandoned the city to flee, sprinting five hundred li in one night... handing over all the food and ammunition in the city to the Chuyun people, and in the end, it fell on our heads."
Lu Li already knew that this was the First Sino-Japanese War, and the city where Wanqing resided was Lushun.
Indeed, Ye Zhichao should not be allowed to die too easily!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, the very Yahang Leader—Ye Zhichao, who was just mentioned by the pair, was standing at his own front door, eagerly anticipating some important guests.
After a short while, a slight tremor came from the ground, as a Humanoid Mecha over two meters tall approached!
Its chest plate was painted with the Sunrise Flag and a ’404’ identification number—it was the same one they had encountered previously in the Chuyun Leased Territory.
However, at this moment, this imposing Mecha was following behind a genteel and graceful middle-aged scholar.
The scholar’s waist hung a Peach Wood Sword, and he was none other than the Deputy of the Divine Heart Association—Mr. Fan Shouyi.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Zhichao’s expression changed—this man could actually command Chuyun armored troops! Such closeness in relations!
He hurriedly lowered his stance and quickly stepped forward with a fist salute,
"Mr. Fan’s presence graces my home. I apologize for not greeting you farther out, please come in!"
"There’s no need for formalities, Head Ye. We’ll just take a casual stroll," Mr. Fan Shouyi said, walking through the garden with Ye Zhichao.
They reached an artificial lake teeming with red carp.
Mr. Fan Shouyi looked on with interest, and Ye Zhichao presented a can of fish food,
"Mr. Fan truly is profound and inscrutable. I hope for your continued support in the future."
Mr. Fan Shouyi took a handful of the fish food and scattered it into the water, attracting a frenzy of fish, and then said,
"I am here today on behalf of Major Ito from ’Shadow of the Blade,’ to discuss two matters."
Ye Zhichao straightened up, "Please instruct me."
Mr. Fan Shouyi said leisurely, "Firstly, Major Ito is very dissatisfied with your progress and orders you to deal with the opposition before the end of the year and clear the sales channels."
Ye Zhichao’s expression changed, "I, of course, would like to, but the powers in Jingjinji are all cultivating opium, and the resistance is tremendous..."
Mr. Fan Shouyi stroked his beard and said, "This matter has already been agreed upon by the officials. We will follow the Jianghu rules, a real fight with real swords. The winner takes all."
"A real fight?" Ye Zhichao paused briefly...
"Exactly," Mr. Fan Shouyi nodded and continued,
"The date is set for the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. At that time, no one will interfere with you, and those above the Blood Exchange Realm will not act. Head Ye can freely go about it, whether you choose to rally or to kill; resolve the issue once and for all."
He gestured towards the Mecha behind him and added, "This is the support from Major Ito."
With the assistance of the Mecha, Ye Zhichao had full confidence, "I will follow the orders!"
Then he asked, "Mr. Fan, you mentioned two matters—may I know what the second one is?"
Mr. Fan Shouyi smiled and said, "I need you to compile statistics for all the Refining God ’geniuses’ near Jinmen over the past 30 years."
"30 years..."
Ye Zhichao’s eyes shifted, instantly realizing what this was for—using the most straightforward and unembellished method to weed out the ’Four Spirits’!
This task would be troublesome, but the Yahang Association, being pervasive, was the most suitable candidate.
Mr. Fan Shouyi said sternly, "Even Envoy Aoki is highly concerned about this. You must handle it with care!"
"Master Aoki!!!" Ye Zhichao’s face showed shock. This was a Manifesting Saint!
Trembling, he said, "I will work to the utmost of my ability! I will settle this matter before the end of the year!"
