Chapter 75 - 72: [Instant Body Technique]!

Chapter 75: Chapter 72: [Instant Body Technique]!

Over the next few days.

Under the leadership of the Military Staff Department, the entire Luozhou City had fully restored its daily order. The million surviving residents in the city also began to gradually adapt to the military control system.

To live a better life, rather than lining up at relief stations every day like the lonely elderly to receive just enough supplies to maintain basic sustenance, many young people actively enlisted in the military or tried every possible means to earn Military Merit. Just like Liu Zimo in his previous life, they risked their lives to earn Military Merit, and then exchanged it for Cultivation Techniques and resources to gradually become stronger.

Furthermore, the provincial agricultural planting base in the east of the city was officially put into use under the supervision and cleanup of the Military Staff Department. However, it was already November. With the harsh winter approaching, they had missed the season for planting grain crops like wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes. They could only use some of the greenhouses in the base to grow vegetables for emergency use.

Fortunately, the planting base had just experienced an autumn harvest before the Demon Calamity descended. The crops temporarily stored in the major warehouses, such as corn, potatoes, and peanuts, had not yet been sold or transported out. Coupled with the fact that Luozhou City itself had a lot of rice and flour supplies left over, there would be no food crisis in the city for at least the next one to two years. Once they survived the severe winter and replanted staple crops like wheat or dry rice in the base, the city’s food problem would be completely resolved.

In short, everything was developing in a good direction. At least before the next wave of the Demon Calamity descended and the Beast Tide erupted, Luozhou City had completely stabilized.

Over these past few days, Liu Zimo had focused all his energy on the special training of his dad, uncle, and younger brother. Every day before dawn, he would fly the three of them out of the city, find a gathering place of Ordinary Demon Beasts, and throw them directly into the herd. It was exactly like how he had trained Yang Sisi and Feihong before. Simple and crude, but highly efficient.

After experiencing nearly a hundred perilous life-and-death battles, the gentle and weak aura on his dad, uncle, and younger brother completely disappeared. It was replaced by the image of calm, cold, and slightly fierce tough men. It was worth mentioning that to accelerate their Martial Arts Cultivation progress, Liu Zimo painstakingly searched among the Demon Beast herds outside Luozhou City for a Warrior Level Vajra Beast suitable for Body Refining Realm Martial Artists to consume. He used the tenderloin of this Warrior Level Vajra Beast to provide three meals a day for the three of them.

In this way, amidst continuous nourishment and special training, the Martial Arts Cultivation of Liu Yi, Zhao Hongzhang, and Liu Zihao all successfully advanced to the Copper Skin Realm. Liu Zihao even broke through to the intermediate stage of the Copper Skin Realm a step earlier. Only then could they be considered to have truly entered the Martial Dao, possessing a certain degree of self-preservation in the Post-Apocalypse.

One day.

After the special training ended, his dad, Liu Yi, rubbed his somewhat sore lower back and approached Liu Zimo. Raising his arm, he threw it over his son’s shoulder and panted:

"Son, can we go back a little earlier tonight?

"Those members of our Superpower Group have been wanting to find a time to come to the house for a visit and pay their respects to the famous Advisor Liu. Give your old man some face!"

Liu Zimo glanced lightly at his dad. Without asking, he could guess that his dad must have been out bragging and throwing his weight around again. Otherwise, why would others suddenly know he had an "advisor" for a son, and even rush to visit their home? However, Liu Zimo also wanted to take this opportunity to meet this special group of people who had awakened their Superpowers early in the initial stages of the catastrophe. If the conditions were right, he might be able to bind a few more Good Brothers and besties.

Ever since his cultivation broke through to the Manifestation Realm, Liu Zimo’s Heaven-Stealing Superpower had advanced once more, and the number of binding slots had correspondingly increased by ten. It was just that he had been busy with special training these past few days and hadn’t deliberately gone out to find suitable targets. Now, his dad’s colleagues were delivering themselves right to his doorstep.

"Sure, how could I not give my dad face?" Liu Zimo nodded directly. Then, shifting the topic, he raised his hand to point at a herd of beasts a thousand meters away. "However, you’ll need to hunt and gather the ingredients to entertain the guests yourself. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee how long I’ll stay at home tonight!"

Hearing this, Liu Yi straightened his posture and slapped his thigh.

"It’s a deal!

"Isn’t it just hunting a few Little Demons? Just wait and see your dad unleash his divine might!"

With that, Liu Yi charged confidently toward the Demon Beast herd in the distance. Halfway there, his figure gradually faded into Invisibility, vanishing completely without a trace.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction. As his Spiritual Power continued to strengthen, his dad’s control over his Invisibility Ability became increasingly adept. At least now, when playing hide-and-seek with Feihong, the little girl could no longer detect his dad’s tracks and hiding spots so quickly. However, to Liu Zimo, this level of Invisibility Ability was clearly not enough. Even without using his Spirit Sea Realm Divine Thought to pry, the blue-glowing Shadow Lock observed by the Heaven-Stealing Superpower was constantly exposing his dad’s movements.

BOOM!

The previously quiet Demon Beast herd instantly became chaotic as a Heaven-Swallowing Frog suddenly collapsed. The surrounding Demon Beasts were all bewildered, not understanding why their companion standing right next to them would fall over for no reason, with half of its head sliced off. Having failed to detect any enemy presence, their instincts to sense danger seemed completely useless in this moment. Inexplicable fear and panic began to constantly ripple through the herd. Soon, the commotion escalated, and the originally gathered Beast Demons began to scatter and flee in all directions.

At this moment, Liu Yi’s figure suddenly appeared in front of the fallen Heaven-Swallowing Frog. With one foot planted on the frog’s remaining half of a head, he looked over at Liu Zimo, Zhao Hongzhang, and Liu Zihao with a smug expression. This was his first time using his Superpower to hunt Demon Beasts in front of his family, and so far, the performance was a great success.

If it were solely about Martial Arts Cultivation, he might be slightly inferior to Zhao Hongzhang and his youngest son, but with the assistance of his Invisibility Superpower, his personal lethality was several times greater than theirs. This was the Innate advantage of a Superpower User! Superpower Users with the Invisibility Superpower were born to be Scouts and Assassins. They could easily strike a Demon Beast’s most fatal spot when it was completely off guard, achieving a one-hit kill! If not for Liu Yi’s limited Martial Arts Power and slightly insufficient attack power, he might even be able to one-shot a Regiment Level Demon Beast!

"Wow! Dad, you’re amazing!"

"Yeah, Liu Yi, I didn’t expect you to still have it at your age. That first strike was so badass!"

Liu Zihao and Zhao Hongzhang exclaimed loudly at the same time, completely shocked by Liu Yi’s move.

Liu Zimo also nodded slightly; this was the true way to utilize the Invisibility Superpower. He pondered that in the future, it would be best to equip his dad with an iron-cutting Divine Weapon, and ideally prepare some potent poison that even the Golden Body Realm couldn’t withstand. That would make up for the flaw of his dad’s insufficient Martial Arts Power and maximize the might of his Invisibility Superpower!

Suddenly, Yao Lingling in his Sea of Consciousness had a flurry of thoughts, mocking Liu Yi’s performance of killing the Heaven-Swallowing Frog with his Invisibility Superpower.

"Haha! This is cracking me up!

"This human’s use of the Invisibility Superpower is simply crude to the extreme. He doesn’t even know how to use the most basic Instant Body Technique. What a complete waste of his invisibility talent!

"If I remember correctly, in the Human Race Realm of the Illusion Demon Realm, which human who awakened the Invisibility Superpower wouldn’t be treated as an honored guest by various nations?

"Let alone the Human Race Realm, even on our Demon Race’s side, many General Level or even King Level powerhouses are extremely wary of such Invisibility Cultivators favored by the Celestial Dao. They’re deeply afraid that one day, they might be targeted by a human Invisibility Cultivator and stabbed in the dark!

"Tsk, tsk. If those Invisibility Cultivators were all like this guy in front of me, only knowing how to crudely use their Superpower to hide their aura and tracks, they’d be detected and turned into corpses before they even got within ten meters of a General Level powerhouse!

"Ignorant fools from a lower world, indeed! Even if they hit the jackpot and awakened the Invisibility Superpower, without the cultivation method for the Instant Body Technique, they are still just rookies and nothing to fear..."

Hmm? Liu Zimo’s mind stirred. Instant Body Technique? For it to be so highly spoken of by a Proud Heaven Insect like Yao Lingling, it seemed to be an incredible Cultivation Technique, and it also appeared perfectly compatible with his dad’s Invisibility Superpower. He had to find a way to get his hands on it!

Yao Lingling continued its train of thought.

"Speaking of this Instant Body Technique, it seems to be a free Cultivation Technique in the Human Race Realm, known to almost everyone.

"The purpose is also very simple—to allow those humans who accidentally awakened the Invisibility Superpower to cultivate it in time, gaining the ability to protect themselves or even kill enemies in the shortest possible time!

"What was the opening mnemonic again? Oh, I remember now!

"Mind in the profound void, body like a phantom, seeming both illusory and real, a hundred instances returning to one..."

Liu Zimo was speechless. He never expected that before he could even think of a way to coax the information out of Yao Lingling, this Proud Heaven Insect would actively spill the mnemonic for the Instant Body Technique on its own. This was truly... so considerate! He had to admit, he was really starting to like this Soul-Devouring Insect more and more!
