Rapid Progress

Chapter 104 Rapid Progress (9k)

He didn't respond for the time being, and even put his phone in his pocket. Although it was an encrypted text message, Baby was an Ember member and couldn't be seen at all.

This old woman was fairly shrewd; she didn't make a phone call directly, so she didn't know what it was about.

In fact, this kind of thing can also be used as an anchor point to directly predict the future or learn about the past.

But today is September 2nd.

I just received 1600 million last night, and I made a point of waiting until I got home tonight to use all five chances to break through the limits and officially advance to the second tier.

It's such a waste to use it on something so trivial.

Let's talk about it after we finish eating.

As he and his baby gradually approached the cafeteria, they quickly attracted the attention of many students.

"That's Yan Baobao? So cool!"

"Who's that guy next to her? Could he be her rumored boyfriend?"

"But he's only at the first level of sublimation!"

"Who knows? I also heard they're in a relationship where the woman is older, maybe she just likes younger men."

"But he is indeed handsome."

Girls with gossipy expressions kept peeking and chattering, clearly very interested.

In addition, many boys were whispering among themselves.

"It's that guy! Damn, it's the one who made Lu Qiuhai suffer twice before, the one with the amazing agility."

"I heard from Bai Long that Gu Qingshan has developed a mental demon. He originally wanted to win back, but Yan Baobao broke his defense in half a day. He didn't even eat lunch today and has been training hard in the Heavenly Palace Class. It's really interesting."

"Haha, speaking of which, it's said that Elizabeth Lucy wants to be friends with Yan Baobao."

"Tsk tsk, the children of these corporate executives are all very shrewd; they start building their networks very early on."

"Absolutely. Karl, the young master of the Twilight Group, directly won over White Dragon."

"What? Karl is a high-ranking member of Twilight Entertainment?"

"you do not know?"

"I really didn't expect it, because I felt he was very low-key and never talked about it."

"Haha, that's true. Oh, by the way, Lily Cavendish's mother is a high-ranking executive at the park. Anyway, our Heavenly Palace class has a lot of executives from big companies and nobles."

"I do know that. Speaking of which, it's a pity that Tu Shanlin is in the Yaoguang Class."

"You're really trying to pull a fast one on me. Save your breath. The Tushan Clan is on the same level as Legalist Heavy Industry and Twilight Group."

"We're trying to climb into the upper class, but they're born into it, the very top of the class. Tu Shanlin is a duke's daughter; if this were ancient times, she'd be a princess of a country, someone you wouldn't even get to meet."

"Ahem, just thinking about it, I'm still in the Heavenly Palace Class, okay?"

Similar discussions continued to rise and fall, but Qiao Yuan was already used to it.

It was like that back in high school; because of the baby's terrifying talent, he always attracted a lot of attention.

Plus, the baby is so beautiful, all sorts of rumors are flying around like hail, impossible to guard against.

Today he got his food with the baby, leaving Hu Tu behind. He would bring food for Tu Shanlin later. He had already told her what they would eat this morning.

Besides fish, the cafeteria also offers a variety of new dishes and meat-based foods on a rotating basis.

He has discovered over the past few days that the little fox loves to eat any kind of meat, and also enjoys some fruits; it is not picky at all.

He didn't put Hutu in front because that would have made it easy to give himself away.

Thankfully, Hu Tu and Qin Xue got together, otherwise they wouldn't have had a good excuse.

Not far away, there was a middle-parted boy wearing a stand-up collar jacket. He had no eyes for Yan Baobao; his eyes were only for Qiao Yuan.

There was no hostility involved; I just heard today that Qiao Yuan seems to be in the Pioneer sequence.

Because he himself was also a pioneer.

Although the pioneer sequence is relatively unpopular, it is still somewhat available to the top 20,000 freshmen.

However, he was the only one in the two Galaxy classes to be in the pioneer sequence, and apart from Qiao Yuan, no one else in the seven Beidou classes had been heard of.

"Xue Xingzi? You're not allowed to look!" A pretty blonde girl next to her said angrily.

Xue Xingzi, with her hair parted in the middle, gradually came to her senses: "He is indeed quite unique."

"Her? I knew it!" the blonde girl said defiantly. "You guys are all the same!"

"What?" Xue Xingzi looked at his newly dating girlfriend with a blank expression.

Let's break up!

"No—why?"

The argument escalated, even attracting the attention of Qiao Yuan, but his gaze remained fixed on the baby as he chatted casually.

"Actually, I've been thinking of getting some weapons. I think gauntlets look good. Any recommendations?"

"Huh?" Yan Baobao looked slightly surprised.

She took out her phone, used the projection function, and a light blue holographic screen the size of an A4 sheet of paper immediately popped up on the table. After tapping a few times, she smiled and said, "These models all have good specifications. Take a look first, and I'll buy them for you if you like them."

Qiao Yuan nodded: "Okay, but I can buy it myself. Keep the money that the baby earns."

"Huh? That's something I always say."

"Hahaha," Qiao Yuan laughed, "Actually, I've been looking forward to this day since I was a child."

The baby understood all his thoughts and the meaning of those words with just a blink of his eyes.

Just like when we were renting an apartment in Jiangnan Building, I insisted on paying for it, and at Bubble Plaza, I insisted on buying her the Kirby collaboration holographic helmet—

And last night we talked about buying a sword.

"Okay, then I'll save it for Yuan." She pursed her lips slightly, and couldn't help but reminisce about the past.

Qiao Yuan was already watching the holographic screen; as expected, the ones the baby chose were all excellent.

There are six models in total, priced between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan. There are bio-engineered gauntlets as well as powerful wind-powered mech gauntlets.

There are also the currently popular electromagnetic boxing gloves, which are very similar to the ones babies usually use.

Even disruptive hacker gauntlets can be used in conjunction with hacker sequences, or with sufficiently strong mental power, to violently intrude into some basic devices and deal with mechanically ascended enemies implanted with prosthetics.

His interest in boxing is quite simple: both Linghe Sanshou and Yinshen emphasize close-quarters combat, which is well-suited to boxing gloves.

After looking at them carefully, he found that the wind-powered mech gauntlets and the bio-armor gauntlets from the beginning were still the best.

The former is extremely powerful, while the latter is similar to a pufferfish, possessing not only excellent protection but also remarkable inflationary properties, much like an air bladder.

It looks pretty good.

However, all biological implants have a common problem: they require human blood to maintain their activity and may even consume more energy to maintain them.

Once worn, it will fit tightly against the cloak, similar to a symbiotic relationship.

Qiao Yuan thought about it and gave up. He felt it wasn't convenient enough. It was just a pair of bio-armor gauntlets, not a full-body bio-armor suit. The increase in power was limited, and frequent use would cause him to be constantly drained of blood, consume his energy, and suffer minor injuries.

He would prefer a full-body bio-armor; digesting a little blood would result in a huge boost in strength, which would be very appealing.

These cyborg gauntlets were a compromise that was neither good nor bad, and they weren't very useful to him.

In terms of defense, there is the Yin God, so the Wind Energy Mech Gauntlets, which greatly enhance attack, are the best choice. Through the built-in quantum wind power structure, they can continuously generate powerful driving force. The only drawback is that they suffer from severe wear and tear and dust accumulation, resulting in a relatively short lifespan.

The electromagnetic gauntlets are also powerful, but the damage is localized through the conduction effect of lightning.

Wind-powered boxing gloves are more suited to one-on-one combat.

Qiao Yuan had already made up his mind; this third-generation Wind God Gauntlet from the Supernova Armor would be the one.

Although electromagnetic radiation is appealing, when the babies and their crew are on missions, they wear high-spec mech suits that cover even their heads, allowing them to easily take on multiple opponents and become immune to most types of damage.

The mission is still carried out in small teams.

He's different. If he's surrounded by a lot of bad people, it's best to run away.

Improving one-on-one combat ability is sufficient.

Just like the night before last, if Veronica hadn't been nearby, and the old man in the straw hat had insisted on making a move, or if more Black Crow gang members had arrived, they would have had no choice but to run away.

After finishing his meal, he waved goodbye to the baby at the entrance of the teaching building. Then, Qiao Yuan went to the lakeside alone and read Veronica's text messages.

Call me when you have time.

Ha, he thought it was something else, and simply replied with two words: "[No time]".

Putting away his phone, Qiao Yuan gazed at the vast lake before him. Having been at school for so long, he still didn't know the name of this lake.

When he got back to class, he asked Tu Shanlin about it.

"Huh?" Tu Shanlin thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, it seems to be called Moon Shadow Lake."

"Moonshadow Lake?" Qiao Yuan was slightly puzzled, yet then suddenly realized, "Could it be related to Silver Moon?"

Tu Shanlin smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is said to symbolize the shadow of Silver Moon Capital, to inject fresh blood."

Qiao Yuan felt as if he had been enlightened: "It sounds very interesting, it has a sense of generational continuity."

"Yes, the steward once told me that when Silver Moon City was first established, Emperor Yao Guang was full of vigor and originally wanted to nominate him as mayor."

"Oh, I get it!" Qiao Yuan suddenly realized, gaining a deeper understanding of the profound meaning of Moon Shadow Lake.

They also developed a sense of reverence for Emperor Yaoguang.

Actually, he already knew the other person when the report was published on August 20th, but he didn't have any particular feelings about it.

Now, combined with the story of Moon Shadow Lake, I have a more three-dimensional impression of Emperor Yaoguang.

Most strong people want to be heroes, to transcend class and rise to the upper class, and some even become rulers, leaders, or founders of families.

This is normal.

However, Emperor Yao Guang did not stay at Galaxy University for long, nor did he accept the power of the mayor of Silver Moon City. Instead, he resolutely chose to become a pioneer in opening up the Star Empire, dedicating his life to the future of mankind as one of the first to ascend to godhood in deep space.

Otherwise, with Emperor Yaoguang's status and qualifications, becoming the largest family in Silver Moon Capital, or even the entire Yaoguang Star, would have been a piece of cake.

He felt increasingly agitated and couldn't help but think of the motto of Galaxy University.

We must strive for self-improvement and never give up!

What exactly is in deep space? What happened to the Star Empire, which had been interrupted for 30 years?

Shake the light—is it still...?

hey~

He gradually regained his composure and smiled at Tu Shanlin, saying, "Thanks, Lin, I've learned something new."

"No—it's nothing," Tu Shanlin said, pursing her rosy lips as she took out a packet of dried fish.

Qiao Yuan's expression shifted: "Can I eat it?"

"Okay!" Tu Shanlin handed over the dried fish without hesitation, acting particularly obedient.

"Let's eat together, Lin."

After a moment of surprise, Tu Shanlin narrowed his large golden eyes, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Okay~"

She placed the dried fish on the table, taking some out every now and then, looking particularly happy.

Qiao Yuan was also in a good mood. After eating a little, he lowered his voice and said, "Lin."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Hmm, I'm a little curious. With such high talent, why is your advancement in rank so slow?"

"Hmm," Tu Shanlin suddenly seemed a little disappointed, hesitating about something, and didn't speak for a moment.

Qiao Yuan immediately coughed and said, "Sorry, Lin, just pretend I didn't ask. Don't take it to heart."

Although I don't know what happened, it seems to have touched on Tu Shanlin's unspeakable secret.

Tu Shanlin shook his head slightly: "Ah, no, it's just, well, tomorrow then~"

"If it's something that makes you unhappy, then don't talk about it. It's okay," Qiao Yuan said with a smile.

"No—no, it's not 'duh'," Tu Shanlin said softly, her face flushed, "Uh, I think, I think I'll bring something to show Qiao Yuan tomorrow, and then I'll just say it all at once~"

Qiao Yuan blinked and said, "Sure, no problem at all. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Hehe, good~" Tu Shanlin became happy again, and his feet, wearing black Mary Jane shoes, lightly tiptoed.

The afternoon passed quickly, and by evening, Qiao Yuan was returning home even faster.

He couldn't wait to get to the wreckage area.

Get stronger, and keep getting stronger.

On the way, he spent ten million to place an order for the drug in advance, which was the "Starry Sea Source Series" gene enhancement liquid from the previous flounder company.

The first time I bought meat and blood products, this time I switched to the Ether-type D2PRO Bone Gene Strengthening Liquid.

The price is slightly higher, around 300,000.

As soon as he got home, he received an encrypted call from Veronica.

Qiao Yuan had a half-smile on his face. This woman had been waiting since noon; her patience seemed pretty good.

He thought the other party would get angry and call around noon.

After closing the door, he held the phone to his ear and answered the call.

"No time? If you're busy, why are you answering the phone?"

Hearing the barrage of questions, Qiao Yuan casually replied, "Want to know? Beg me."

"Get lost!" Veronica said irritably. "Tomorrow night, in the new district of Willen, some old bastard from the Hell Cult is going to raid some Night Cult members. This is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself."

"What meritorious service?" Qiao Yuan frowned slightly.

Veronica chuckled lightly. "Aren't you usually quite quick-witted?"

"Can't you speak like a normal person, auntie?"

"You brat!" Veronica snorted. "What merit can you possibly achieve with your mediocre skills? Of course, you'll only be doing a service to the Tiandu branch. How stupid! How could Lord Simon possibly take a liking to someone like you?"

"If it weren't for Lord Simon specifically naming you and giving you the opportunity to make a great contribution, you'd be dreaming, right? But this time there's a requirement: you need to have a good talk with Captain He and improve your relationship. Don't always go through your sister."

"Also, you should call me Her Majesty Queen Vero, do you hear me? You have no manners at all."

"Oh, don't call me unless it's important."

"Qiao Yuan!!"

Qiao Yuan was too lazy to listen to Veronica's barking and hung up the phone directly.

They make phone calls for every little thing. They're just Simon's mouthpiece. They have a little power, so they have to flaunt it all the time.

He thought that only employees could like arrogant bosses, which was really unlucky.

[Beep beep, encrypted call.]

Qiao Yuan looked at his phone screen and was even more speechless.

"You brat! How dare you hang up on me? No one has ever dared to be so insolent!"

"Oh, then you'll have to get used to it." Qiao Yuan said, and then hung up the phone again.

[Beep beep, encrypted call.]

"Again?" He suddenly laughed.

He wasn't afraid of angering Veronica at all. Their relationship had been bad from the start anyway, so it didn't matter. He just didn't know if he would anger her to death.

"Qiao Yuan! Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"

Qiao Yuan said, slightly bored, "My time is precious, big sister. If you don't tell me, I'm hanging up."

Veronica gritted her teeth and said, "Meet me at 7 PM tomorrow night in the orange sports car behind the Cloud Sea Coffee Shop in the Willen New District. Don't be late!"

Before he could even hang up, the other party angrily hung up on him.

She's not menopausal yet.

Really.

However, the matter the other party mentioned should be related to the death of the middleman, Lao Jin.

A bunch of Night Cultists were besieged? Does that mean we can make Night Masks now?

Wow, that's awesome!

But Veronica will likely be nearby, and then the baby and the others will come, making it very difficult and troublesome to steal something.

Qiao Yuan thought about it but had no clue.

He's not entirely sure right now; he'll have to go there tomorrow night and check the timeline to be certain.

7 pm tomorrow night is a good time, but how do I get there? Captain He and Yan Baobao will both be there.

While waiting for the medicine to be delivered, he thought about it for a moment and realized he didn't have any excuse.

Putting everything else aside, in the baby's memory, he rarely goes out alone.

These days, anything can be delivered to your door, so making a special trip to the Weilen New District seems a bit contrived, unless you're going there for leisure.

Well, he could bring Hu Tu into it, but to be honest, he didn't want to keep dragging Hu Tu into this, even though Hu Tu already knew.

Oh, wait a minute.

Qiao Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He first checked the address of Yunhai Coffee Shop in Weilun New District, and then checked the brands of the boxing gloves that Yan Baobao had recommended at noon.

There are Legalist Heavy Industries, Supernova Armed Forces, and Twilight Group.

These weapons are not even as good as guns; they are the most basic tactical equipment, and every company has its own products.

Gradually, he discovered what was interesting.

Normally, within a district, stores like this have various branches and a main store.

But by checking the map, he discovered that in the Sunset District, there was only a store of Fajia Heavy Industries!

Whether it's the Twilight Group or the Supernova Armed Forces' equipment and weapon shops, they only have physical stores in other districts.

I have a reason for tomorrow. I'll just say I'm going to the Supernova Armory in the Weilen New District. No one can find fault with that.

"Tsk tsk, this is a real monopoly," Qiao Yuan said, noticing for the first time the strong desire for control within Legalist Heavy Industry.

But upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

The Sunset District of the Third Main City is itself a super university town, gathering more than a dozen top-tier federal universities such as Yaoguang University, Federal Warrior Academy, and Nantianmen Third Academy, as well as Galaxy University, one of the Seven Star Alliances of the Apocalypse Federation.

It can truly be called a place teeming with talent and geniuses, the core area for supplying fresh blood for the future strongmen of Yaoguang Star, and there is no other like it.

Talent itself is the greatest resource.

As for Legalist Heavy Industry, it had essentially become the master of Silver Moon Capital and even Yao Guang Star long ago.

Therefore, it's naturally straightforward to prohibit other large corporations from opening physical stores in the Sunset District.

This reminded him of the 200,000 yuan loan he had previously given to Fajia Heavy Industry, in exchange for ranking among the top 100 in his class in the final exams of his first semester at university, and then becoming a spokesperson for Fajia Heavy Industry's products.

Everything is for profit, directly binding these new generation college students to it.

Looking back, I am quite moved.

Just a month ago, 20 was an astronomical sum for him that he would have to fight to the death for.

But now you can easily buy drugs worth tens of millions of dollars for the rich, sigh.

And at the time, no one expected that breaking into the top 100 of the grade would be as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Although he's currently ranked around 50th, the final exams will definitely be about real-world application, and his utilization rate in those exams will rank him around 300th or 400th.

A shadow crossed Qiao Yuan's eyes.

According to the original contract with Fajia Heavy Industry, if I didn't break into the top 100 in my grade, not only would my interest double, but I would also be forced to serve in the military!

He suddenly shook his head.

From the very beginning, he was just a piece of meat on the chopping block of Legalist Heavy Industry. However, at that time, he only thought about how to get the loan.

At the time, I thought that as long as I could get into the main city and Galaxy University, it would be a new life.

But this is clearly a trap!

With his qualifications, if he hadn't chosen to use his ability to foresee the future on the day of the Tower Challenge, he definitely wouldn't have been able to get into the Yao Guang Class, let alone any of the Bei Dou Classes; he would have been in the bottom-ranked ordinary class.

There are 20,000 freshmen! Even if they didn't eat or drink for 24 hours a day and practiced until they died, they still couldn't get into the top 100! My God!

Let alone the top 100, even getting into the top 1000 in the grade is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

He only realized the seriousness of the situation tonight.

Although he will soon become a billionaire and his wealth will increase exponentially, it doesn't matter to him at all.

However, upon closer reflection, it's impossible that he was the only one who took out a loan of 200,000.

Students in the main city probably won't need it, but quite a few of them like it in the state.

Qiao Yuan's expression grew increasingly grim as he thought about it.

Clearly, the original intention of this loan from Legalist Heavy Industry was to select some very talented ordinary geniuses who could be admitted to Galaxy University, but who would never reach the level of top geniuses.

Finally, they used loan contract defaults to force him into military service, making him a soldier of Legalist Heavy Industry, a slave of Legalist Heavy Industry.

Damn! He rarely swears, but he couldn't help himself now.

It's like spending 200,000 yuan to buy their youth, or even their entire life.

This business is amazing! Incredibly amazing!

Qiao Yuan snorted coldly, now having a deeper understanding of Caesar's words from back then.

But he will do it in his own way—

Ding dong.

With the flounder company delivering the fish to his door, Qiao Yuan gradually pulled himself out of his thoughts; there was plenty of time in the future.

It takes twelve attempts to break through to the first-tier Pioneer level. Now that I think about it, three more trips into the Debris Zone will be enough. It's that simple. If I'm even luckier in real life, I only need to go in twice!

Wow, that's a really rapid improvement.

He took the medicine and, without hesitation, picked up Caesar's mask of darkness.

Caesar's mask has three uses left, and the bearded one has one use left.

As the mask was put on, the wreckage area became like time itself, forever frozen in silence.

Qiao Yuan skillfully selected "tools," although these guys all looked the same after putting on robes and cloaks, so there were bound to be some duplicates.

But he was a pioneer, possessing the ability to remember beacons, and had already marked all the cultists he had previously plundered.

The marking method is also very simple, mainly based on the different black whiskers of these people.

[Having learned the location of the Craniotomist Rein, and gained absolute control, I accelerated the digestion of the Pioneer Potion, just eleven steps away from advancing to the first tier of the Celestial Pioneer [Breaking Limits]]

"Having learned of Caterpillar's hiding place and gained absolute initiative, I accelerated the digestion of the Pioneer Potion, just nine more times to advance to the next level of the Celestial Pioneer."

Breaking Limits]

The first three cultists were all in the New London Floating City, and he took a look at the battle there.

There have been news reports and actual footage from the front lines over the past two days.

But it's completely different from him coming here in person to experience the real frontline warfare.

It seems they managed to withstand the first wave of attacks from these skeletal pterosaurs, but—

Qiao Yuan was now braving the strong winds high in the sky, looking at the intense heat that had already reached a fever pitch about a kilometer away.

These skeletal pterosaurs seem to have found a new way to focus on one point and break through the antimatter energy shield of the New London floating city!

The shield, which had originally emitted only a faint white light, had begun to turn red and occasionally flickered with hexagonal honeycomb-shaped spots of light.

Moreover, there were even more of these pterosaurs, which formed a ghostly green mist under the night sky, covering the entire area. Their roars and the continuous booming of heavy firepower made his ears ring even from a kilometer away, as if the sound was happening right next to him.

At the same time, he also saw that it was a huge time layer from the night sky!

It was a palace floating in the air, seven or eight hundred meters long, its white walls, clearly representing holiness, were engulfed by a large number of eerie green flames.

Burning, as if desecrated by darkness and tainted by sin, it faintly forms a cracked eye!

Countless ferocious skeletal pterosaurs crawled out of the "eyes" one after another, like a locust plague.

Qiao Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that this had clearly become a war of attrition.

The monsters were frantically "deploying troops" to focus on breaking through the antimatter shield, while the humans were frantically annihilating and killing them.

He watched for a while, and even saw a majestic skeletal giant, over two hundred meters tall, crawl out of those eerie green eyes.

But as soon as he stepped out, he lost his footing and fell from a height of four or five thousand meters.

"Trying to be abstract, huh?"

Qiao Yuan flew out and glanced down, but unfortunately couldn't see how badly he had fallen.

He then flew towards that one-kilometer-long area, but his target was not the antimatter shield, but the massive time superposition.

He wanted to see it up close.

A short while later, after arriving at the white palace engulfed in green flames, Qiao Yuan narrowed his eyes.

They then discovered that there was a huge and evil black light magic circle in the palace, and these monsters were completely summoned.

His gaze quickly fell on some statues near the magic circle. They looked like humans, but they had no heads and were fundamentally different from them.

Similar to Xing Tian, ​​the god of war in ancient mythology, his facial features are located on his ribs, and he also has four arms.

They were all in hand seals at that time, but their bodies had already turned to stone, and some of them even showed extremely painful expressions, trying to escape from the palace.

Qiao Yuan looked around carefully, not daring to step in rashly. The time layers here were very strong, and he would be affected in the future as well.

Although they won't die, they will suffer endless pain, and then wait half an hour to return to reality.

"They don't look like sacrificial offerings. These people are all dressed in elegant clothing and adorned with jewelry—"

He gradually came to the conclusion that it was probably a group of other powerful beings from the Universe who summoned uncontrollable power, and were ultimately devoured and turned into stone statues.

However, the magic circle remained open, causing monsters to appear continuously. Therefore, this time layer should be sealed off, or someone should force their way in to shut down this huge summoning magic circle.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one who thought of it; the large starship above seemed to be preparing for it.

While time overlays are dangerous, they can be dealt with, but at a certain cost.

According to the high school homeroom teacher, the higher the level of sublimation, the more immune one is to the effects of time accumulation!

He continued watching as the hatches of the starship above opened, and one after another, large, dark red antimatter mechs, each over twenty meters tall, descended!

These mechs resemble Gundam robots, are powered by military-grade quantum wind energy, fly in the air, and bear the logo of Fajia Heavy Industry on their shoulders.

Each of them held a bright yellow nanoblade in their left hand and a destructive vibrator in their right, capable of instantly blasting these skeletal pterosaurs hundreds of meters away, shattering their bones and causing them to disintegrate!

The nanoblade fascinated him even more; it seemed to possess absolute high temperature, capable of liquefying these skeletal pterosaurs that spewed green flames with a single strike.

The cut will melt into bone fluid!

That's impressive.

Although he now dislikes Legalist heavy industry.

Although he still thought that if the calamity of these skeletal pterosaurs eventually came to Silvermoon City, he might be able to turn enemies into friends through the necromancer substitute.

But if it can be resolved, it's better not to come. He's only been enjoying his good fortune for less than half a month.

Qiao Yuan watched as these mechs swept through the monster tide, gradually creating a breach, and broke into the palace within the time layer.

He returned to the wreckage area when his time was up.

Damn! There's not enough time again.

Forget it, I'd better just advance to the second tier as soon as possible and speed up the timeline.

But then again, it was really exhilarating to experience that intense battle on the front lines.

"Having learned the whereabouts of Jenny, the CFO of Silver Shield Security Company, and gained absolute initiative, I accelerated the digestion of the Pioneer Potion, just eight more attempts to advance to the first tier of Heavenly Destiny Pioneer [Overbearing]."

"Having learned of math teacher Li Guofu's whereabouts and gained absolute control, I accelerated the digestion of the Pioneer Potion, and am seven steps away from advancing to the first tier of Heavenly Destiny Pioneer [Breaking Limits]!"

The two cult members are quite different. The former works in Chang'an District and is the accountant for a security company. The latter works at the First High School in Weilun New District, ostensibly as a math teacher, but he keeps his mask in his school office.

The harvest was alright, but getting the mask was a bit troublesome. For example, this math teacher only saw tonight's scene. Unless he went now, he didn't know if the other party would use it again tomorrow, or if it would still be at the school and it wouldn't matter.

As long as we can break through, that's fine.

We'll talk about the masks tomorrow night.

He's now taking the potion to exchange for Night Stones, and this time he got a total of 41.

It seems that the bone gene enhancement fluid has more spiritual properties than the flesh gene enhancement fluid.

After all, it's 300,000 more expensive.

After removing his mask with satisfaction, he first used some of it to enhance his Night Breathing Technique.

The breathing technique is currently at level three, with a progress of 70%. Let's upgrade it to level four first.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Qiao Yuan took a few deep breaths and was already full of energy.

It only cost five Black Night Stones to advance to the fourth level, and its perception increased dramatically, from 50 meters to a diameter of 100 meters.

We've finally achieved a considerable harvest!

He used the remaining 36 Night Stones to enhance the Eternal Night spell, hoping to see the benefits.

The current progress of the Eternal Night spell is: Level 1 (16%).

He remembered clearly that back then, one Black Night Stone could improve one's strength by about 4%, and only 21 stones were needed for a breakthrough, which was more than enough now.

Qiao Yuan laughed heartily. In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed, and the Eternal Night Technique had officially advanced to the second level (60%), a tremendous improvement.

It made him feel that the speed of casting was faster than the first level, by about 15%.

After reaching the second level, he also discovered that once he rose to the third level, he could further increase the range.

It's not the range of the Night Breathing Technique, but the range for imprisoning enemies.

The expanded area allows for the imprisonment of more enemies! No longer just one.

That's really great.

However, compared to that, he immediately used the Azure Nether Technique, and by then the baby had already gone home.

Within two minutes, his eyes lit up.

"It's increased by at least 10%, and with the 10% boost from the strengthening liquid, it's close to 25%," Qiao Yuan was in high spirits. With this in mind, tens or hundreds of millions were just around the corner.

This truly brought about a qualitative change for Qingming!

He got up happily, washed up, played games with the baby for a while, and then went to sleep.

It is Wednesday, September 3rd, 3177.

It seems like the baby now goes to the bureau at a fixed time after lunch.

In class, Tu Shanlin seemed to be hesitating about something, and he stammered a bit.

Qiao Yuan remembered that the other party said yesterday that he would bring him something today.

Seeing Tu Shanlin like this, he found it even more hard to believe that she was clearly the eldest daughter of a noble family, and according to the other classmates' discussions, she was also the only heir of the Tu Shan family in this generation, with an extremely noble status.

But it seems there are many unspeakable difficulties involved.

He tentatively asked, "Lin?"

The little fox immediately twitched its ears and said somewhat dejectedly, "I'm sorry, I—um, I had a little argument with him this morning and forgot to bring it~"

"Him?" Qiao Yuan didn't react for a moment.

"Um—it's my father—"

Qiao Yuan finally understood: "It's okay, it's okay if you didn't bring it, I don't mind, Lin."

"Okay~ I'll definitely bring it tomorrow~"

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Wear it tomorrow, wear it the day after, or even don't wear it at all."

The more he interacted with the little fox, the more he realized that Tu Shanlin seemed to have gone through something to become like this, doing everything with extreme caution.

Hey.

"Well, but I want to show it to Qiao Yuan~" Tu Shanlin said confidently, with great seriousness.

Qiao Yuan smiled upon seeing this: "That's great! I'll be looking forward to it no matter what."

Tu Shanlin twitched his furry ears, his eyebrows brimming with joy: "I'll tell you tomorrow. I'll put it in my backpack tonight when I get home, hehe."

Qiao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Today he is still mastering the spiritual atom, although more and more people are starting to practice the Azure Nether Technique.

Ms. Daisy was quite pleased. After giving him a couple of pointers, she clapped her hands at the other students: "If you can't increase the utilization rate, then increase the number of spiritual atoms. Next, the school will issue a challenge to reach 100 million spiritual atoms the fastest, with the top 3000 and the top 1000..."

There are four tiers of rewards: top 500, top 100, and so on. I suggest you try for all of them.

The class immediately erupted in commotion.

Many students who missed out on the previous location capsule rewards are eager to try them out.

They temporarily abandoned the Azure Nether Technique and began to regain control of the spiritual atoms.

Qiao Yuan had already entered a state of complete absorption, remaining unfazed even if the sky were to fall.

By evening, thanks to the benefits of the Eternal Night Technique, he successfully broke through to the tens of millions, directly ranking third in the grade, second only to Tu Shanlin and Elizabeth Lucy, truly causing a sensation.

First in the grade: Tu Shanlin (2970 million units, utilization rate 97.2%, ranked fifth in practical application).

Second in the grade: Elizabeth Lucy (1682 million points, 97.6% utilization rate, ranking second in actual combat).

Third in the grade: Qiao Yuan (1075 million data points, 80.1% utilization rate, ranked 303rd in practical application).

Furthermore, he progressed from the third level of leveraging power to mastering the first transformation, further enhancing his overall strength and achieving a truly rapid advancement.

The class erupted in chaos.

Charlie, Ye Yutang, and the others looked over in surprise, not expecting him to improve so quickly, jumping from the top fifty to the top three. Hu Tu even exclaimed, "Wow, you've already entered the first stage of mastery! Weren't you supposed to be improving every day?"

Qiao Yuan smiled but didn't say anything. As expected, the benefits from the Eternal Night Technique were immense.

Tu Shanlin also wagged his tail at him.

Even Ms. Daisy praised him highly: "It seems that Qiao Yuan has an exceptional talent for spiritual atoms."

Qiao Yuan remained relatively calm, only feeling his physique rise once again, with an inexhaustible flow of power surging through his entire body.

While eating in the cafeteria in the evening, he discussed with Hu Tu how much his combat skills had improved. After finishing the meal, he became increasingly restless.

I wonder what I'll gain tonight.

It's time to go.
