Chapter 38: Liu Hao Advances

  "Yes." Fan Hongchang continued, "Originally, Xiao Yu's power was a fusion of some thunder and lightning properties, which would cause numbness. I deliberately concentrated all my true energy in my arm to resist this numbing effect. It should have been possible to withstand it, but suddenly a mysterious force burst out from his body, and this force was very powerful, with a strong suction effect. My true energy was absorbed away uncontrollably, and Xiao Yu probably also discovered this situation, which is why he immediately withdrew his hand."

  "Xiao Yu, how many more shocking things have you yet to reveal?" Nuoyi Long's eyes were filled with astonishment as he couldn't help but ask excitedly.

  "Uncle Nuo, I'm not quite sure about these things, I...I think I'll go rest." Lei Yu didn't know how to explain that this power was brought by the Long Life Spirit Pearl, which was the target object of the previous mission. Now that it's inside his body, he couldn't just open up and tell everyone about it, could he? Even if Nuo Yilong and the others wouldn't have any ill intentions, if word got out, others would definitely treat him as prey to be hunted.

  "Nuo Hu, send Xiao Yu back to rest, everyone has dispersed, I am very confident in this trial with the Ming Cult!" Nuo Yilong smiled.

  Aier and Nuohu sent Lei Yu back home together. In order to let Lei Yu have enough rest, Nuohu didn't stay for too long, and Aier also left in a hurry after being affectionate with Lei Yu for a while.

  Returning to his room, Lei Yu sat quietly on the bed. He wasn't going to cultivate but rather observe some changes within his body, so there was no need to remove his clothes.

  "Why did the Lingzhu have such an effect? Why didn't this happen before?" Lei Yu was somewhat perplexed.

  When Nei Gui's body discovered that the white true energy absorbed from Fan Hongchang had disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know when it had vanished.

  "What's going on? Didn't you absorb some?"

  After careful investigation, the result was still not obtained. The power that had been absorbed disappeared silently and without a trace, leaving no clue to follow, which made Lei Yu extremely depressed.

  Shedding his outer garment, he sat cross-legged on the floor, Lei Yu had always been very strict with his cultivation and never relaxed. Since obtaining this self-taught technique called "Lei Yu Gong Fa", he had never stopped exploring and improving, and every time he advanced a step, Lei Yu would have a clear feeling.

  After reaching the late stage of Qi Condensation, that is, the later stage of the 4th level of martial arts, Lei Yu's progress slowed down day by day, and sometimes he even felt that there was no progress at all, which made Lei Yu very worried.

  Promoting the true energy, in the sea of energy, all the true energy is floating quietly, completely relying on Lei Yu's own spiritual power to mobilize, reaching the stage of converging energy allows Lei Yu to better control the true energy. Moreover, during cultivation, by controlling the thickness and thinness of the flow of true energy in the meridians, it can ensure that there are no mistakes. However, over this year or so, that mysterious green power, although still following behind his own true energy every day, playing a protective role, its frequency of repair has decreased significantly, seemingly related to Lei Yu's improvement.

  It was because of this that Lei Yu was somewhat perplexed - must the true energy be twisted into a powerful torrent to damage the meridians, allowing the green power to repair and thus achieve relative improvement? No, this idea was quickly denied by Lei Yu. After reaching the fourth stage, all cultivators would encounter an extremely difficult bottleneck to break through, and it was precisely the obstruction of this thin membrane that caused some people to permanently stay at the fourth stage and be unable to advance - this was a hurdle that required sufficient patience and self-enlightenment.

  Slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, when he opened his eyes again the sky was already dimly lit. After stretching his body with force, he rushed into the bathroom to wash away the impurities and dirt of the night.

  "Master! I succeeded!" Liu Hao's voice was extremely excited from the other end of the phone.

  "What succeeded? Speak clearly!" Lei Yu blinked and asked.

  "You wait a minute, I'll go with Ma Shan, oh right, Yingying and I are together, we'll go together."

  "Hey! Wait! Hey! Hey! I'm dizzy!" Lei Yu shook his head helplessly. This Cui Yingying had already faded somewhat from her own life, how did she suddenly appear again?

  As expected, in less than half an hour, Liu Hao brought Cui Yanyan to Lei Yu's home. During this period, Lei Yu had to focus on cultivating his inner strength and wanted to make the most of this time to break through the Qi gathering stage, so he wouldn't often run to the Dragon Group, which was also agreed upon by Luo Yi Long.

  It's been a year and a half, and seeing Cui Yingying again made Lei Yu's eyes light up. Was this still the same Cui Yingying who used to dress sexily and make people have all sorts of fantasies?

  At this time, Cui Yingying was wearing a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt, and her black hair was tied up with a simple black leather band hanging down her back. She looked full of sunshine, but no matter how she dressed, she couldn't hide the stunning looks on her face that made men's souls fly away, as well as her enchanting eyes.

  "Lei Yu, long time no see." Cui Yanyan smiled, revealing her captivating aura, and the clothes she wore seemed particularly radiant, completely shedding her previous sexy style.

  "Ah, long time no see, what have you been up to?" Lei Yu asked politely.

  "I went abroad to study management, my dad wants me to take over the family business, no choice, for more than a year I've been trying to change myself, never entered a nightclub again, nor had a drink, I clearly remember what you said that night before you left, since you didn't like me back then, I tried to change, change until you like me." Cui Yanyan smiled and replied.

  Lei Yu not only took a deep breath, but also thought to himself: "No way! How can there be a girl so persistent?" However, Cui Yanyan was the kind of straightforward and outspoken girl that many boys liked. Lei Yu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat as he looked at her, unsure of what to say, and could only force out a seemingly ordinary smile in an attempt to play it cool.

  "Oh right!" Remembering something, Lei Yu turned his head around, "Liu Hao, you said you succeeded, what do you mean?"

  "Master, I think you're so caught up in chatting with Sister Ying that you've forgotten about me!" Liu Hao said, tapping his chin with his finger and revealing a mischievous grin.

  "Are you going to talk or not?" Lei Yu stretched out his hand as if he was about to hit him.

  "I did it! I finally broke through the second stage and reached the third stage, now I'm officially a three-stage warrior!" Liu Haoyang said with a proud smile.

  Will Cui Yingying and Lei Yu spark an unexpected romance? The story will be revealed after Lei Yu's battle with Mingjiao Cai, but the domestic affairs will also come to a close soon. However, if you think the protagonist only has this much luck with women, then you're wrong! Just wait and see how Lei Yu will deal with those bastards in Kou Guo after the fight!
