My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 123 - 116: Divine Strike

Chen Lu Si stood by the window.

It was only after those scarlet eyes disappeared that he reacted.

He glanced at the Spirit Ball in his palm, his expression somewhat peculiar.

Did he accidentally offend the other party?

No, he didn’t.

Who would have thought it would be such a coincidence.

Just as he was about to roll the Spirit Ball, the Monkey Anomaly Realm had a disturbance.

He didn’t do it on purpose... just instinctively fought back a bit.

"..."

Thinking of this, Chen Lu Si couldn’t help but touch his neck, then sighed, and stuffed the Spirit Ball in his palm into his mouth to replenish the Spirit consumed by the shock response just now.

Thinking about these things now doesn’t seem to have any meaning.

After all, the event has already happened.

The other party didn’t seem to mind much, although they seemed quite violent... but they didn’t come over to punch him.

It’s probably fine.

I suppose.

Chen Lu Si retracted his gaze, then walked back to the bed and lay down again.

Now it’s better, there’s not a bit of Spirit left around.

He couldn’t roll the Spirit Ball, so he could only sleep.

Honestly speaking.

It’s quite uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Chen Lu Si couldn’t help but turn his head again and look towards the window.

The Monkey Anomaly Realm... it looked pretty formidable.

That night.

Chen Lu Si didn’t sleep well, not because of dreams or the like, but because of the noise.

The inn downstairs wasn’t quiet for the entire night.

Chen Lu Si has poor sleep quality.

So it was quite torturous.

He finally endured until morning, and it quieted down. Just as he was falling asleep, there was a knock on the door...

"..."

Hearing the knock, Chen Lu Si struggled to get up from the bed, then glanced at the time.

It was already seven in the morning.

He rubbed his face, got up, and opened the door.

"Good morning, sorry, I got caught up in something yesterday."

Xia Yue stood at the door, smiling as he greeted.

"It’s fine."

Chen Lu Si shook his head, not surprised that Xia Yue could find his way here, he just asked, "Is the Monkey Anomaly Realm open?"

"Yeah, it officially opened a little earlier. Want to go take a look?"

Xia Yue asked, "Last time I said I’d introduce you to the top brass of the Celestial Strategy Mansion."

"Just a moment."

Thinking it over, Chen Lu Si turned and walked into the bathroom.

He washed his face, refreshed himself a bit, and then followed Xia Yue outside.

It was the weekend, the weather was still hot, and even in the Imperial Capital, there weren’t many pedestrians.

Chen Lu Si sat in the car with Xia Yue, then asked, "Where are we going?"

"To the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters, then via the Bronze Gate at Kunlun to the northern end of Taihang Mountain, it’s quicker that way."

Explaining while starting the car, Xia Yue said, "It’s that door you saw yesterday at the top of Kunlun Mountain, it got struck by lightning yesterday, it was quite worrying, Luo Mountain even said it might not be usable... but fortunately, it still works, at least the teleportation point here isn’t affected."

Chen Lu Si was silent for a moment before asking, "So, what exactly is that door?"

"...It’s an artificial ’Celestial Gate’."

Hesitating for a moment, Xia Yue still explained to Chen Lu Si, "It’s considered the craziest creation of the old era, built in imitation of the legendary Celestial Gate, just not as exaggerated in scale, and the large stone atop it is said to be from Zhang Ling, that’s his ’heart’."

"Zhang Ling?"

"Only this name... it’s said to be that Celestial Master, but whether it truly is, no one knows, the related records are unclear, and there’s no Celestial Master Zhang now either.

That door is considered an Ancient Object, with the effect of large-scale personnel transfer, with two teleportation points, one atop Kunlun Mountain and another at the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

As long as you’re in these two places, you can teleport anywhere within the range covered by the Yellow Springs Mainstream.

But, this Ancient Object is artificial... it’s also the largest existing artificial antique, but the people at Kunlun, to this day, haven’t figured out the principle behind this thing, why it’s jointly recognized by the Yellow Springs and Bi Luo.

In a way, we’re even inferior to the ancients.

Actually, Kunlun was established on the mountain partly because of that door, after all, that door can’t be moved, and they don’t dare move it casually."

"...I see."

Having his confusion answered, Chen Lu Si sighed in relief.

He thought back to that majestic Giant Bronze Gate, and the large round sapphire at the top of the gate. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He felt a bit of admiration.

That thing is also a ’stone’... truly unexpected.

While speaking, they returned to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

Chen Lu Si originally wanted to ask about the ’Descriptive Book’, and whether he should mention the matter of its alteration.

But seeing they had arrived at their destination, he could only give it up for now.

And at this time, the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters was quiet, creating a stark contrast to yesterday’s lively scene.

"Most members have already been summoned and transferred over."

Xia Yue explained, then led Chen Lu Si to the room they exited yesterday and pushed open the door.

The spacious room was still devoid of anything.

And in broad daylight.

It was even brighter here than outside, the light source overhead was even blinding to an extent.

"Let’s go then."

Leading Chen Lu Si into the room, Xia Yue gave a reminder, then closed the door.

Bang—

At the instant the door closed.

The lights in the room began to go out one by one, starting from the very edge.

One row, two rows, three rows...

And as the lights went out one row after another, darkness as solid as a physical entity began to approach slowly.

Until the last row of lights went out... the darkness completely engulfed the two people.

It felt like having eyes covered.

Then the sensation of groping in the dark reappeared.

Only this time, the duration was shorter.

Probably because the teleportation distance was relatively close this time.

Very soon.

Chen Lusi felt a sudden brightness ahead, discovering he was now in the mountain forest, currently standing on the fire preventive path near the mountaintop.

However, the condition of the fire preventive path was not very good, landslides and rubble were everywhere.

Seems to have been caused recently.

"Old Li."

Xia Yue greeted casually.

Chen Lusi turned his head and saw the Security Army officer he met at the beginning of the ancestral rites.

"Ah Yue."

Old Li nodded at Xia Yue, then said, "Go up, seems like they’re waiting for you."

During this, he also glanced at Chen Lusi, with a slightly odd expression.

As if he remembered himself...

While thinking, Chen Lusi nodded towards him.

"Let’s go."

After exchanging greetings.

Xia Yue hooked his shoulder, directly soaring into the sky.

... Furious winds crazily whipped his face.

By the time Chen Lusi reacted, he was already at the mountain top.

The scenery at the top of the mountain was quite impressive, gazing afar, the mountains stretched endlessly, with peaks and valleys stacked, covered in verdant greenery.

Everything seemed to shrink into a flat map under their feet.

Yet the most eye-catching was not the distant scenery.

But the devastation at the mountainside... as if it had been rolled over by a giant.

Within several kilometers, every tree was either snapped in half or uprooted, a complete wreck.

In many places, the yellow-brown earth was flipped over, with a large pit in the center, as if a valley was forcibly created amid the forest.

Completely out of sync with the surrounding environment.

"..."

Chen Lusi gazed at the devastation below, his breath halted.

"That monkey is probably lying in the middle... Every time he wreaks havoc, hiding the disturbance is always a major issue."

Xia Yue stood beside Chen Lusi, pointing to a distant spot: "But this has little to do with you, look over there."

Chen Lusi followed his direction to look.

The saddle between two mountains, comparatively gentle, where there was a stand-alone building resembling an observation post.

At present, a group was standing by the building, also watching the mountainside.

"Let’s walk over slowly, I’ll introduce them as we go."

Xia Yue started heading towards the observation post.

Chen Lusi followed behind.

As the distance closed.

Their faces became visible.

"Can you see clearly? The middle-aged man leading them?"

Xia Yue pointed at the man at the front, introducing: "His name is Mount Tai, currently the highest authority of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, his Authority Ability is ’Dongyue’, his Source Canon is clear, it’s the legendary embodiment collection of that Dongyue, the main effect of his Authority Ability is to suppress Ancient Systems or those related to myth, but he’s hardly used it."

"And the young man wearing the necklace beside Mount Tai, named Yu Zhou, his Authority Ability is ’Marshal’, his Source Canon is unknown, the main effect of his Authority Ability is controlling lightning, but it needs fitting weather, otherwise can only use small-scale lightning strikes, it’s not impossible to use even in good weather, but the cooldown is relatively long.

If it’s a stormy day, he’s pretty formidable."

"That woman you’ve met before, Tang Language... she’s the only one in Celestial Strategy Mansion whose Authority Ability is innate, because her Authority Ability comes from her bloodline, named ’Wei Su’, her Source Canon is extremely complex, suspected to be a demonized Nine-tailed Fox, as for the main effect of her Authority Ability... is Beastification."

"The man at the edge wearing a suit is named Li Ge, his Authority Ability is ’Guangying’, his Source Canon is suspected to be Xianggang Gong, one of the four great kings of southern Fujian, the main effect of his Authority Ability is similar to Si Yujie’s ’No Thought’ state, resembling the ’Divine Strike’ discussed in your hometown, but the difference is, Si Yujie’s ’No Thought’ state can’t think of anything else, while his ’Divine Strike’ can enhance himself while retaining his thoughts.

It’s said, in that state, he’s very capable in a fight, and almost undefeatable."

At this point.

Xia Yue smiled: "Of course, I don’t quite believe it."

Chen Lusi nodded, but didn’t echo.

Because the two were already at the observation post.

The others turned their heads and looked at the two.

"Some other Celestial Strategy... some went to Kunlun to help, others didn’t come, I’ll introduce them next time."

Xia Yue faced the gazes, seemingly indifferent, directly looking at the last person.

That person didn’t turn around, facing the distant forest, closing his eyes, oblivious to everything around.

"His name is Zhang Xun, from Kunlun, his Authority Ability is called ’Palm View’, his Source Canon is unknown, as for the effect... you’ll soon find out."

Xia Yue introduced the last person to Chen Lusi.

The others listened silently, all facing Chen Lusi.

Expressions varied.

Chen Lusi pretended not to notice, merely nodding to them.

Plink.

The sound of a water drop suddenly rang out.

Drawing everyone’s attention.

The others finally turned their attention from Chen Lusi, looking to the ground.

Chen Lusi was slightly puzzled, also lowering his head.

In mid-air, a drop of rootless water suddenly appeared out of nowhere, falling to the ground, gradually soaking in.

Though just a single drop of water, it saturated a large patch of the ground around.

Then, the soaked land suddenly rippled like a lake.

... A vision appeared.

Chen Lusi: "...?"
