Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Chapter 255: Chapter 150: SSS-Level Rating, The Fifth Reincarnation Ends

He felt like he was in a sauna—an incredibly exhilarating feeling!

’So this is what makes an SSS-Level Energy Infusion special? I never thought the Rebirth Mark could be so gentle!’ Li Chang’an marveled.

To jump an entire major realm in one go… the efficiency was simply heaven-defying!

However, this wasn’t even the full extent of the SSS-Level Energy Infusion. Li Chang’an could faintly sense that something new had appeared inside his body.

He closed his eyes, concentrating for a moment.

He then discovered that the Rebirth Mark had even replicated the technique he had previously forged using his Spiritual Power, embedding it directly into his body!

The Skill of the Sea Receiving All Rivers!

This skill allowed him to store a reserve of energy within his body, which he could draw upon in an emergency.

With this skill, Li Chang’an’s energy reserves were now significantly larger than those of other Martial Artists in the Tier Five Early Stage!

The only slight shame was that the Rebirth Mark hadn’t replenished the energy the skill lacked. Li Chang’an would have to purchase Martial Arts Energy Cores himself to fill the reserves for the Skill of the Sea Receiving All Rivers!

…

After browsing and making a few purchases within the Rebirth Mark, Li Chang’an let out a long breath and pulled up his current status.

[Name: Li Chang’an]

[Permanent Reincarnation ID: 31402]

[Evolution Level: B- (Martial Arts Fifth Rank Peak)]

[Citizen Rights: Level 3 (500/3000)]

[Exclusive Talent: Heaven-defying Comprehension (Unique)]

[Remaining Rebirth Points: 201,146]

[Upper-Grade Spiritual Field x15, Extra Reincarnation Authority x38, High-Level Initial Talent Lottery Ticket x2, Intermediate Talent Lottery Ticket x1…]

Taking stock of his current assets, Li Chang’an gave a satisfied stretch.

He had spent quite a long time in the Rebirth World this time, and it had taken a toll on him both physically and mentally. Li Chang’an planned to return to the City Lord’s Mansion and get some proper rest.

First, to rest his mind. Second, to check on the development of Cangxuan City. And third, because he had advanced his realm too quickly, he needed to slow down and properly consolidate his foundation.

Leaving the Rebirth Space and returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Li Chang’an fell onto his bed and went to sleep.

He fell into a deep, sound sleep.

He slept for three full days and nights before he felt even a fraction of his mental energy return.

Li Chang’an summoned Zhao Xi and asked, “How have things been in the city recently?”

Including the three days he had just spent sleeping, his recent reincarnation had taken up the better part of half a month.

Strictly speaking, ten-odd days wasn’t that long, but Cangxuan City was in a period of rapid development, and there were many matters that required Li Chang’an’s attention.

Sure enough, upon seeing him, Zhao Xi hurried over with a frantic look, jogging up to him. “City Lord, you’re finally back! We’ve become famous! The people outside looking for you are practically forming a line!”

Li Chang’an frowned. “What’s going on?”

Zhao Xi didn’t hide anything, recounting the events to Li Chang’an in full detail.

It turned out that the Reincarnators from the Linjiang Reincarnator Association had posted on the Reincarnator forums about how he had used the Super Electromagnetic Cannon to kill a special Tier Five Exotic Beast.

The local Linjiang Reincarnators had also publicly disclosed some of the parameters of the weapons Li Chang’an was producing.

The incident had caused a massive uproar on the Reincarnator forums.

The vast majority of Reincarnators simply didn’t believe it, but plenty of curious onlookers who loved drama had flocked to the topic.

A considerable number of Reincarnators had wanted to visit Cangxuan City to see the Super Electromagnetic Cannon and the Energy Particle Beam Cannon, but since Li Chang’an was away, Su Ruobing had turned them all away.

As he listened to her animated explanation.

Li Chang’an opened the Reincarnator forums for a look and was surprised to find posts related to the Super Electromagnetic Cannon plastered all over the front page.

And it wasn’t just one or two trending threads, but a full three of them!

—”SHOCKING: A Rookie Martial Artist Developed High-Tech Military Hardware! Is This News Real or Fake?”

—”The Super Electromagnetic Cannon Conundrum, Still Unsolved in the Labs of Major Reincarnator Families, Has Been Cracked by an Obscure Martial Artist. What Waves Will This Create?”

—”Is the Linjiang Reincarnator Association So Desperate for Fame They’ll Spread Any Ridiculous Rumor?!”

The titles were incredibly conspicuous, and there were so many of them.

It was hard for Li Chang’an to miss them.

He casually clicked on one of the threads. A quick glance revealed that most Reincarnators were scoffing at the news, utterly disbelieving.

Many Reincarnators were even flaming the Linjiang Reincarnator Association, accusing them of using sensationalist news to chase fame.

The forums were in complete chaos.

The most sarcastic and mocking comments came from Reincarnators belonging to the major Reincarnator Families.

Li Chang’an wasn’t surprised by this.

He couldn’t blame them. If he hadn’t experienced it firsthand, he wouldn’t have believed it either.

Seeing that his expression remained unchanged,

Zhao Xi let out a relieved breath before continuing cautiously, “Lord City Lord, since you were away, many Reincarnators have been accusing us of pulling a publicity stunt. Even our Linjiang Reincarnator Association has been hit with numerous complaints and verbal abuse from other Reincarnators…”

“Su Ruobing has shouldered all the pressure and responsibility. Otherwise, we would’ve been buried under a mountain of criticism by now. Do you think you could find some time to give Chairman Su a call?”

Ever since the news broke that Cangxuan City could manufacture the Super Electromagnetic Cannon and Energy Particle Beam Cannon, Su Ruobing had been helping Li Chang’an build factories for weapon production and assembly, all while shouldering the public pressure and accusations on his behalf. It had reached a point where even Zhao Xi felt it was unfair to her.

Li Chang’an nodded.

He took out his communicator and called Su Ruobing.
