Plan of attack

Part 65

/*unedited*/

The sneaky soldier felt a bit relaxed as he put his phone in his pocket. He has already informed his sect and he would just wait for the next command from the higher-ups. He was a soldier who was recruited as a spy by the Black Lotus sect using the promise to turn him into a cultivator.

For normal humans, being a cultivator is a dream come true. Many thought that as long as they became a cultivator their lives would become better. But they didn't know that it was a pit where a large amount of resources is needed to grow. Plus the gruesome truth that cultivators would kill anyone just to get resources is a secret to most humans.

As the soldier went back to his post, Joe Wang remembers the face of the soldier and walks out of the base. He was sent to the road by a military vehicle along with some of the hunters who return wounded from the forest.

He blended with the group and arrives at the nearest town. When he was in town, Joe Wang formulated a plan on how to help Master Wang. He knew that his strength is not enough, but if he stayed that way, he could not be of any help. But if he forcefully improves his cultivation to reach 10 spheres, he would be experiencing a huge backlash.

But of course, as someone who reached the 100the sphere in his life, he knew some of the ways to lessen the impact.

And so, before returning to Beta City, he collected some materials in the town. This is because the town is near the wall boundary so Joe Wang was able to find a lot of the things he needed in the area.

The next day he went to Beta City.

He unfolds the paper that Master Wang gave him and found some numbers and addresses written in them along with the name of people to contact.

He didn't do this when he was in the town or while traveling back because he didn't know up to what extent the spies of the Black Lotus Sect has reached. Joe Wang then dialed one of the numbers and an old stately voice of a man answered.

"Hello, who is this and how did you get this number?"

"I have a message from Master Wang. Please meet me in Beta City today at 9 p.m. at xxx hotel restaurant… Black-Black-Blue." Joe Wang said then the other like was cut off.

Joe Wang was a bit confused as to why the other party suddenly dropped the call. But the code Black-Black-Blue was written by Master Wang as a secret code. Joe Wang only knows that the last color means that his contact would be wearing blue denim with a word blue on the inner shirt.

After arriving at the Beta City, Joe Wang immediately rented a room at the hotel they are to rendezvous. Then he quickly crafted and set up a vat inside the bathroom. This vat would be his way of enhancing his cultivation to the 10th sphere in one go.

After that it would rely on his ability and if he can form the 11th sphere which would successfully give him a chance to integrate Qi and mana at the same time.

After an hour, he finished crafting the rough-looking vat. Because he lacks the time, he quickly finished and prepares the needed materials. From his spatial ring, he took out ten level 1 cores which he spends a fortune to buy in the town. But for the people, there level 1 and 2 cores are low-level products hence it can be seen all over the beast market in the town near the wall.

"I guess this is it." Joe Wang said as he took out a mouthguard and bit on it.

When he enters the vat, he activated its function and suddenly the whirling of mana inside the beast cores began to rotate. In the middle Joe Wang put the core he got from the beast he killed. This is the pure essence beast core, fragile yet it contains pure mana essence from the beast.

Boom!!! Crack!!! Crack!!!

Suddenly Joe Wang felt his body suddenly assaulted by a huge amount of energy. Then a surge of pain immediately assaulted him while he was floating inside the vat. But his body didn't explode from the huge amount of energy because of the energy flowing through the water inside the vat. His dantian and meridian began growing at a fast speed, but it causes Joe Wang intense pain. This is the reaction of his brain as the changes inside his body was too abrupt before the brain could adapt to it. Hence the pain signal from his brain bombarded his consciousness.

5 hours later…

Joe Wang's body emits smoke as the mana filled water inside the vat was all absorbed by his body. He weakly drags himself to the near tub and emerges his body as sizzling sound can be heard rising up to the air. It's like a hot metal being a dip in cold water.

"Ahh… Arrgghhh… Damn it! This is freaking torture…" Joe Wang muttered but he already knew that the strength of his body has already reached the 10th sphere. But the energy is not that stable and would need a few days to consolidate it.

Then after a while, he was awoken by the sound of the timer on the side. This means that he only has 30 minutes before the scheduled meet up with the agent from the cultivation society.

Joe Wang slowly jumps out of the tub and checked his body. He found himself brimming with power, as his physique was bathed with pure mana and was changed thoroughly. He has surpassed the strength that a peak level body refining cultivator can exert.

But he still needs to be careful as his opponents this time are all in the spirit refining realm.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Joe Wang was satisfied with his attire and showed a smile. He has already cleaned the bathroom and stored the vat. He might have a use for it in the future and can improve it further.

"It's time…" he muttered as he walks out of the room.

As he enters the hotel's restaurant he can see an intricate modern high-class eastern design. The restaurant is filled with many tables and people dress in different clothing.

Joe Wang roams around his gaze and found a middle-aged man in the bar facing the door. He immediately caught the word on the man's shirt.

Joe Wang walks calmly inside the spreads his absolute sense to see if there are any problems. However, as soon as he did that he was stunned. Ten people wearing different clothing, some wore formal and others not, some even acted as a family while eating on a table. But to Joe Wang, he can see the weapons hidden in their bodies.

"Is this a trap?" he thought as he entered the restaurant.

Suddenly he had taken only a few steps inside when someone walks and stood in front of him.

"Boy, I suggest you get away from here." A woman wearing fit jeans, a white shirt with a word blue on her upper left breast, and a dark navy blue bomber jacket.

Joe Wang saw that the woman is probably 25 years old. Her feature is a pretty mix of Caucasian and Asian beauty.

From inside her jacket, he can detect two unique handguns. Unique… because the handguns are emitting a faint aura of Qi around it.

Then he can also see that the woman is also a cultivator at the 2nd level of the spirit refining realm.

"Hmm… Can you follow me? I need some help, big sister." Joe Wang said with a pleading tone.

The woman was stunned upon hearing the young boy's words and showed a suspicious on Joe Wang. She turned her gaze to the two men on the table with her, and the two nodded their heads.

When the two reached the lobby, Joe Wang turns to the young woman.

"I guess the information was compromised. There are spies inside the cultivation society." He said without moving his mouth.

The woman calmly looks at Joe Wang and just nods her head.

The two went up the stairs and enter Joe Wang's room.

The group of cultivators in this hotel arrived early after the call from Joe Wang was received. However, for an unknown reason, they discovered that there are two forces that appeared and the two forces are in a stalemate. Both could not move against each other because once they cause a huge commotion and the government intervenes then it would cause them more troubles.

"Who are you?" the woman asked in a low voice.

Joe Wang smiled and gave her the paper. Upon seeing what was written, the young woman nods her head and gave Joe Wang an okay signal.

"Now... we will move now," she said in a low tone.

Joe Wang just nods, when he was about to walk towards the door. The young woman blocks his path.

"No, you stay. You are not a member of society. I cannot permit you to be in trouble. I and my team, we... are the ones to assist Master Wang." She said.

"Umm… okay." Joe Wang just said after seeing the sincerity in her eyes.

Joe Wang already knew that the woman can be trusted by the way she acted inside the restaurant giving Joe Wang the warning. But of course, this didn't mean that he would not tail them.

Suddenly, the two of them heard some footsteps outside in the corridor.

"Hmm… Ten people." Joe Wang muttered.

He quickly ran towards the bathroom while dragging the stunned woman, and immediately activated the array in the room.

The woman was shocked at the strength of Joe Wang as she found herself unable to get away from his grasp.

As soon as they enter the bathroom, the door of the hotel room opens.

"Enemies…" he whispered.

When the woman heard this she immediately turned vigilant and took out one of her handguns.

Joe Wang put his finger on his lips signaling her to keep quiet as the two listen to what the people are doing outside.
