Chapter 215. The Only Bit of Light

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

Lu Ze looked out the window and fell into deep thought.

Moments later, he looked back at the martial arts site. There were also government missions, as well as private and corporation missions.

Most of the government missions were compensated with federal contribution points while the private and corporation missions were rewarded in all sorts of ways.

Lu Ze looked casually at a few missions.

Astral Spirit Corporation was hiring a bodyguard. The client was the CEO's daughter.

Next.

A Mortal Evolution State was looking for the scorching sun flower.

What was that?

Lu Ze further looked down.

The next mission was issued by the government. It was a wanted mission.

The target was a middle-aged man with an Aperture Opening State 60+ apertures power.

Lu Ze didn't bother. This person was much stronger than him.

He kept looking…

There were many missions. If you accept the mission, your details will be sent to the person who put out the mission, and they would decide if you were hired.

Lu Ze closed the mission sections. He was going to stay inside the HQ base. He couldn't go out to complete missions.

After the entrance test, he would go back to school. He didn't know how school was like, so he couldn't accept missions yet.

If possible, he would try to do a few missions and see if he could get 1.2 million to buy the wings of the wind.

It had huge benefits to his combat and would allow him to run easily since he was on the White Blade Assassination List.

He needed this [Divine Art] a lot.

Lu Ze didn't have much needs now, so he didn't spend the remaining 570k federal contribution points.

After leaving the site, Lu Ze sat on the bed and started using a [Purple Orb] to cultivate the mind-reading technique and chi stealth technique.

These two secret techniques weren't hard. With the help of the [Purple Orb], he learned the two in three hours.

He opened his eyes and looked outside.

It was dark already. The dorms were silent. Everyone probably bought quite a lot of things with their federal contribution points and were immersed in cultivation.

At this moment, Lu Ze had a bold idea.

He closed his eyes and shifted his mental force. He entered a dark dimension. There were two rings present. These were the two maps of the [Pocket Hunting Dimension].

Lu Ze didn't go in the second one but went back to the first one.

He appeared on the grassy plains and not far from him was a super huge rabbit.

It was happily munching grass until Lu Ze suddenly appeared and scared it.

Lu Ze looked at the rabbit. It touched him quite a lot.

They were old friends!

The rabbit of the second map wasn't a rabbit at all.

It was too scary. He died on the spot with just a glance.

The rabbits on this map were much cuter.

After staring at Lu Ze for a while, it bounced off the ground and dashed toward Lu Ze.

Lu Ze's eyes were extremely soft as he looked at the rabbits.

Ahh…

It was this scene. So familiar.

When he first came in here, he was so worried, but now, he felt this rabbit was quite cute and fluffy.

A green light flashed in Lu Ze's eyes, and the rabbit hovered in the air.

It happened so quickly that the rabbit wasn't able to react. It kept staring at Lu Ze ferociously.

After a few seconds, the rabbit became dazed. The distance between them hasn't changed at all.

What happened?

Soon, the rabbit realized that it was trapped by the wind in the air!

The rabbit began to panic and struggle.

Lu Ze grinned as the rabbit kicked its legs and writhed its chubby body. He felt this guy was even cuter.

Lu Ze wanted to eat it. What a pity, he couldn't.

Then, Lu Ze pulled the rabbit closer to him with the wind.

Seeing how worried it was, Lu Ze patted its head and said, "Good rabbit, I'm no bad person. Don't be scared."

Lu Ze just wanted to do an interesting experiment.

Since the mind-reading technique could read the minds of living beings, he was really curious about what the animals in the [Pocket Hunting Dimension] thought.

This was a mystery, and he shall unveil it.

Lu Ze used the mind-reading technique and expanded his mental force to the rabbit's brain.

With Lu Ze's current mental force, the success rate was almost 100% for those below Spirit Martial State. This rabbit was ferocious, but it hadn't reached the Spirit Martial State.

Lu Ze's mental force extended deeper into its thought.

The thinking of the rabbit was very chaotic. The mind-reading technique could only read the basic level of thought.

Lu Ze didn't seem to be able to read anything.

Was the experiment going to fail?

Just at this moment, Lu Ze's vision went black. Countless scenes flashed across in his mind.

Lu Ze couldn't even see what the scene was.

After some time, the light stopped in this simple yet indescribable scene.

In this dark space, there was only one spot of light.

When Lu Ze tried to look at it clearly, his mental force relaxed, and the scene disappeared.

Then, Lu Ze opened his eyes, and he was back in the dorms.

Lu Ze: "???"

What happened? He just wanted to use the mind-reading technique on the rabbit. Why was he out of the [Pocket Hunting Dimension]??

How did he die??

Lu Ze laid on the bed and reminisced that scene.

What was that?

A beast in the [Pocket Hunting Dimension]?

Was that a place in the [Pocket Hunting Dimension]?

Or was that rabbit's thought connected to the thought of a big boss?

Lu Ze couldn't get it, so he gave up.

He might as well explore it slowly when he got stronger.

Lu Ze suddenly realized that he didn't get anything from the [Pocket Hunting Dimension] today.

Lu Ze felt his chest. It hurt. He gained nothing.

After being disappointed for a while, Lu Ze dismissed the chaotic thoughts and sat up.

Cultivation, cultivation!

In these five days, his spirit force cultivation level rose another level, reaching Abstruse Martial State level seven. However, he only got one [Lightning God Art Orb] and one [Regeneration God Art Orb].

Without [God Art Orbs], Lu Ze used the [Red Orbs] for cultivation.

…

Soon, it was the next day. Lu Ze opened his eyes and clasped his hands, feeling the results of last night's cultivation.

A steady improvement.

He smiled and got up. He stretched and walked out of the door slowly.

Chapter 216. Heavenly Light Pillar

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

Inside the living room, Ye Mu was happily eating breakfast on the couch. There were more than ten buns placed at the coffee table. He must have bought them back from outside.

Lu Ze glanced at his smile and asked, "What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Ye Mu grinned. "I bought an Aperture Opening State sword sutra yesterday. I went to practice it at the training grounds last night. It was very helpful to me!"

Lu Ze grinned.

Clearly, this guy had improved or he wouldn't be this happy.

Ian and Xavier were still in their rooms. Lu Ze ate a few buns, and then, the two looked at the situation at the 25th planet. It was rather stable, so they went back to their rooms to cultivate.

…

Another three days later in the [Pocket Hunting Dimension].

Lu Ze stood in the grass, facing a green goat and purple goat flashing with lightning.

Both of them were over three meters tall. Their eyes were red and ferocious while their sharp teeth were visible. They pointed their sharp horns at Lu Ze.

Lu Ze was very calm.

Their power was around five apertures. Lu Ze's combat power had reached six apertures after these few days of cultivation.

It wasn't hard to kill the two, but he was doing an experiment right now.

His [Strength God Art] had been stuck at five times increase in power for a long time.

With his current body, it was strong enough to reach six times or even seven times.

[Strength God Art] was the only [God Art] he learned by himself.

After using the [Strength God Art] every day, as well as his own learnings, Lu Ze felt he could try six times power increase.

He looked at the two goats. A crystal color flashed.

At this moment, Lu Ze frowned.

His body was experiencing a piercing pain due to the increase in power. The increase was rather unstable and could fall back at any moment.

Outside Lu Ze's body, the power ripples shook the air. With him being the center, the air turned into the wind and spread out in all directions.

Lu Ze's body emitted a terrifying pressure. The two vigilant goats wanted to retreat a little.

They felt a death threat from Lu Ze.

Lu Ze saw this and grinned.

Wind, fire, and lightning appeared on his body. With the unstable crystal color, it seemed very vibrant.

He bent his knees and darted off the ground.

Rumble!!

There was a thunderous hum, and a deep ditch of 100-meter range appeared where Lu Ze stood. His body instantly appeared next to the wind goat.

Before it could react, he lifted his right leg and swung it toward the goat, kicking heavily with the wind, fire, and lighting on its belly.

Rumble!!

The goat's [Wind God Art] and spirit force barrier only wobbled for a moment and was then torn like paper.

After a thud, the three-meter tall goat was turned into a green beam, flying away in the distance within a few hundred meters. Blood sprayed on the area it passed through.

Eventually, the goat landed and glided on the grass for 100 meters before stopping.

"Baa!"

After witnessing such a scene, the lightning goat, who was the companion of the wind goat, roared.

It charged at Lu Ze with its sharp electric horns.

Lu Ze was planning to kick this goat away too, but suddenly, the crystal color flickered, and the increase on his power through the [Strength God Art] returned to five times.

Lu Ze gasped and dodged the charge. He felt his power surge again.

It was wavering between five and six times increment. If he had some more time, Lu Ze believed it would stabilize at six times.

Lu Ze turned into a flow of light and appeared next to the heavily injured goat.

He punched and the fist force traveled through the goat's brain, ending its life.

Then, mental force flowed over his body, and the crystal color became vibrant again. His force rose once more.

Seeing this, the lightning goat wanted to run, but Lu Ze already appeared next to it.

Rumble!!

Lu Ze punched it. Fire and wind surged while lightning sparkled. He instantly smashed its defenses and killed it with one punch.

Lu Ze looked at the two goats turning to dust and panted.

The [Lightning God Art] could slightly be a part of his combat power now.

Nevertheless, he couldn't fuse it with wind and fire yet.

Still, with his previous experience for fusion, it wouldn't be too hard.

However, the fusion of [Lightning God Art] and [Wind God Art] provided a much weaker increase than wind and fire.

If he used five times the [Strength God Art] and other [God Arts], he could reach six aperture power. If he used six times the [Strength God Art], he could even reach seven apertures.

However, Lu Ze would, at most, last five minutes in this state.

What happened just now made him breathless.

If he just used four times the [Strength God Art], it would cost more effort to kill the two goats.

He couldn't kill them instantly like now.

Lu Ze picked up the [Wind and Lightning Crystal Balls], as well as the [Red and Purple Orbs]. He thought:

'Perhaps, he could try seven times the [Strength God Art].'

Then, Lu Ze closed his eyes and used all his mental force.

With six times from the previous one and his usage of [Purple Orbs], he learned it in half a day.

Then, he was about to try the seven times power increase. Instantly, Lu Ze's body started to crack and blood sprayed. He quickly stopped.

This was playing with death.

He would seal this technique until his body was stronger.

Then, with the use of [Regeneration God Art], his body slowly repaired itself.

After that, he was once again on the path of hunting.

Ever since he died from using the mind-reading technique three days ago, Lu Ze never dared to try it again on the animals in the [Pocket Hunting Dimension].

However, the chi stealth technique helped him greatly. He earned more in these three days than the previous five days.

He could get one or two [God Art Balls] every day.

…

At night, the beasts started howling, and battle sounds rose.

Lu Ze killed a litter of Core Martial State big cats and was collecting red and [Purple Orbs].

At this moment, all the battle and roaring sounds disappeared. The space became eerily depressing.

Lu Ze quickly laid down and used the chi stealth technique. He didn't dare to move.

Was it a passing boss?

He was ready to die on the spot.

At this moment, a purple light pillar suddenly appeared in the distant heaven.

It was royal and mysterious as it pierced the world.

Lu Ze looked in shock. There was at least a few hundred-kilometer distance, so Lu Ze couldn't see what was inside. He can only vaguely see a bolt of purple lightning flashing in the pillar.

Treasure?

Should he go and check it out?

Suddenly, a few extremely terrifying roars could be heard from the direction of the light pillar.

The roars pierced a few hundred kilometers and turned into a violent wind.

The chi erupted like a volcano. The powerful pressure silenced the entire surroundings.

Suddenly, terrifying battle sounds came out.

Rumble!!

The sound was capable of shaking the entire heavens.

Near the pillar, there were savage winds, lightning, grey mist, and dark rays.

There were also other [God Arts].

It was a battle royale.

Lu Ze looked at the doomsday-like fighting scene.

He felt that he was lucky he was very far, or he would be dead.

At the same time, his eyes flashed. What was inside the pillar?
