Chapter 132 - 116: Revenge

Chapter 132: Chapter 116: Revenge

July 21st.

Atop the solar thermal tower at Gesite Lake.

Zhang Ji was cultivating.

His Nine Yin Divine Skill had reached major completion.

When Yin reaches its peak, Yang is born.

The Primordial Qi cultivated through this technique had greatly enhanced Zhang Ji’s Spirit.

It was in no way weaker than the Qi Condensation and Divine Tempering Method; it was even stronger.

Zhang Ji’s spiritual detection range had now increased to a radius of nearly two hundred meters.

The amount of matter he could manipulate had also increased, allowing him to directly interfere with over three thousand jin at once.

However, that was a rather crude application of his power.

In terms of combat prowess, the most direct improvement for Zhang Ji was his Spiritualization.

He was becoming more and more proficient at entering a state of Spiritualization.

And the cooldown was shorter.

Previously, he needed about thirty seconds before he could use Spiritualization again.

This was the time needed to regather his spiritual particles.

But now, a little over ten seconds was enough.

Furthermore, its power was greater than before.

The newly acquired Nine Yin Primordial Qi in his body was also extremely potent, appearing as the color of black jade.

It could rapidly repair spiritual damage. While slightly inferior to other types of Primordial Qi for large-scale destruction, it was exceptionally powerful for penetration and cutting.

Zhang Ji was now beginning to practice the Nine Yang True Skill.

Its Primordial Qi excelled at destruction but lacked finesse in tasks like penetration and cutting.

Nine Yang Primordial Qi was also unparalleled in recovering from physical injuries.

It might even be more effective than many life-preserving cultivation techniques.

Just as Zhang Ji was halfway through his practice, his movements suddenly froze.

A warning flared in his mind; something meant to spite him was about to happen.

....

「Golden Hook Mountain.」

Five Elements Sect.

Outside the mountain gate, a figure had appeared at some unknown time.

It was a pitch-black armored robot.

It stood about three meters tall and closely resembled the "Immortal-Suppressor" armored robot that had been sent to sanction Zhang Ji before.

"Cosplay? Sir, this area ahead is private property. Please don’t enter, or show us your authorization," a guard called out.

However, the guard’s only answer was a casual shove from the figure.

BAM!

The guard was sent flying, his body bending at the waist, his face contorted in agony.

Almost instantly, alarms blared throughout the entire Five Elements Sect.

Dozens of armored robots rushed in from all directions.

These were the armored robots Zhang Ji had specifically deployed for security.

Each one possessed the strength of a Grandmaster.

Yet, facing this "Immortal-Suppressor," the robots were sent flying as fast as they arrived.

"A bunch of trash!"

A contemptuous smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face. ’These things aren’t even qualified to stop me. My research *is* useful. It’s just that that man is too much of a freak. Once I’m done with my revenge this time, I’ll go abroad, find some investors, and research an even stronger suit of armor. When I come back, I’ll crush that man completely.’

"Lin Yuan, don’t waste time. Kill them and let’s go. The submarine is already in the water..."

A companion’s voice came through the communication channel.

Honestly, if Lin Yuan didn’t hold the activation key for the submarine, they would have definitely fled on their own. They wouldn’t be waiting for this idiot who could only think about revenge.

What was the point of revenge in this situation?

They couldn’t even kill Zhang Ji himself.

It would only piss Zhang Ji off. Even if they escaped, they’d probably have to face his pursuit.

But Lin Yuan was just determined to court death; he couldn’t help himself.

"Hmph, I know what I’m doing!" Lin Yuan snorted coldly.

After speaking, he headed straight for the training grounds.

The Five Elements Sect reacted immediately.

Everyone had anticipated that the remnants might retaliate against them.

How could they not have made preparations?

The robots were those preparations.

But they never expected the attacker to be an "Immortal-Suppressor."

Chen Anhe led Hudson and the others in a retreat toward the Wind God Ruins Realm.

Once they escaped into the Ruins Realm, the enemy would have no way of breaking in, as long as they didn’t possess the specific means to do so.

However, halfway through their retreat, the pitch-black figure descended from the sky.

THUD!

The towering armored body exuded an invisible, intimidating pressure.

The same type of armor that Zhang Ji had fought as a mere soldier now drove everyone to despair.

Chen Anhe shielded Hudson, Gu Jie, and the others behind her, assuming the opening stance of the Snake Fist.

She knew she was no match, but she still had to carry out her mission to protect the next generation.

BAM!

She couldn’t even see its movement. In just an instant, Chen Anhe was swatted away. Most of her sternum was fractured and had caved in. If she hadn’t used the force-dispersing technique of the Snake Form Fist in time, she would have died.

Lin Yuan ignored Hudson and the others. With a few swift motions, he batted away the rest, sending them flying, then strode forward, reached out, and grabbed Gu Jie, lifting him into the air.

He only had information on Gu Jie.

He only knew that Gu Jie was Zhang Ji’s nominal disciple.

Hudson was a nominal disciple Zhang Ji had taken on abroad, and his information had not yet been made public.

"If I kill you, he’ll surely be devastated. Or maybe, I could use you to threaten him..." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"My master... he won’t... be threatened... by you..." Gu Jie forced out the words.

"You’re not afraid?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Weakling!"

Gu Jie cursed, struggling with all his might, but there was no hint of begging in his actions.

After all he had been through on Shanli Island, and after being taught by Kratos for a time, his mentality was no longer that of a child.

Kratos had even taught him that if anyone ever used his life to threaten Zhang Ji, he should commit suicide without hesitation and not bring shame upon his master.

"Hmph! You’re the weakling now!"

A light glowed from the index finger of Lin Yuan’s right arm. He pointed it at Gu Jie’s chest and said, "Beg for your life now. If I’m in a good mood, I might just spare you!"
