Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 529 New Psychic Skills

"Humph, 'involving serious ethical and technical risks', I really thought that Emerald Pharmaceuticals had banned the android technology as it said. But after a quick search, I found that it is still being used in secret."

"Damn, Jade Pharmaceuticals used them as biological experiment materials, Zero Degree Network used them to extract their brains and used them as filters for diving into the abyss, and Time Travel froze and stored a batch of bionic troops."

Chu Tonglu snorted coldly several times, and it seemed that due to the great emotional fluctuations, his face and the veins hidden in the skin began to move faintly. The amplitude of the movement was extremely low, but at such a close distance, it could not stop the observation of a fourth-ring person.

Countless nanomechanical worms flow through his veins.

Compared to when they first parted, the opponent's [Weapon Manifestation] is now significantly stronger.

"Let's not talk about this anymore!" Chu Tonglu waved his hand and played a cheerful song in the private room: "Song Shi, I heard that you have reached the fourth ring."

"Is it really just 'hearsay'?"

The other party was unwilling to talk more, and Song Shi was not interested in asking more questions. Instead, he slowly shook the Haibo Cup and said, "I don't believe it. You haven't seen the video of me defeating Otoro."

The battle came suddenly, and the two sides fought directly over the city of Yasumoto. It was impossible to prevent the scene from being recorded, and all kinds of small videos were bound to spread everywhere.

Today's isolated surface network domains have indeed made the Internet lose its former glory as a world-wide interconnected network for the general public. The industry and corporate alliances are tens of thousands of miles apart, and it is difficult for most people to access the information there.

But the Chu bronze furnace is obviously not included in this "general public".

A psychic of the third ring middle position, even in the turmoil of the previous life, is qualified to protect a region. As long as he doesn't deliberately seek death, and stays in a remote place, he can live quite well.

"Tsk, I've seen it." Chu Tonglu gritted his teeth and said, "I also stayed in the territory of the Salmon Rhodes clan for a few months. The influence of the Great Guardian is everywhere, and you actually defeated a Great Guardian head-on."

"If you were to go back to the day when Nariyama was built, you would be able to easily kill Kamima Motoshi even without our help." Chu Tonglu sighed sincerely, "How long has it been since that time?"

"You're too flattering me, too flattering me." Song Shi waved his hand calmly, "In his prime, Kamima Genji was actually much stronger than Otoro. He just fell into depravity later on. It's not easy for you to ask me to fight Kamima Genji again now."

Song Shi raised his wine glass lightly: "It's a little harder than easy."

Chu Tonglu cursed rudely.

"Allow me to ask you a little more. What do you think of the current Lord of Ye Nan?" Chu Tonglu stroked the smooth stainless steel tabletop, not hiding his curiosity. "You were a patrol inspector and ended up in the First Court. I don't believe you didn't ask that person for advice."

"When I was still hanging out in Yennam, I heard that Frederick Star was close to the top of the fifth ring. Now, I suspect he is on par with the Grand Marshal."

"Equally matched? No, the gap is quite big." Song Shi said casually.

".Is the gap so big?" Chu Tonglu was stunned at first: "As the third generation Lord of Ye Nan, even if the Grand Marshal is very powerful, he can't be that strong."

The words stopped abruptly, and he suddenly realized something. His expression was horrified, and he subconsciously lowered his voice: "Frederick, have you taken that step?!"

"Wrong." Song Shi looked at the man's expression and sighed with satisfaction: "Is there a bolder possibility that I actually hit Isidore Siniti?"

After two breaths when only the singing echoed in the private room, Chu Tonglu's expression became extremely wonderful.

After a long while, the man tapped the table with his index finger: "So, Isidore didn't disappear at all? She was the third-generation Lord of Ye Nan from beginning to end? Damn, who could have thought of this!" "It can't be said to be a special concealment." Song Shi said casually: "It's almost at a level slightly higher than 'a secret that is not a secret'. For example, Xu Yudu and Cha Keluo, they must know about this matter."

However, at this moment, after being shocked, Chu Tonglu no longer cared about this news.

He hesitated and coughed several times. "I have read history. During the Seven Lands War, Isidore was almost invincible. He defeated ten enemies with his 'victory' and frightened thousands of troops."

"You and her." Chu Tonglu looked up at the young man with a sharp gaze: "Who won?"

Song Shi slowly put down the Haibo cup: "Well, I——"

"Okay, you don't need to say anything." Chu Tonglu leaned back: "You lost, right? If you were going to win, you would have already said it."

Although he said this, the man's eyes were extremely complicated, with a mixture of emotions, making his face look quite strange.

Finally, Chu Tonglu heaved a long sigh of relief: "You are worthy of being the throne of God. I didn't expect that even you are still a little bit short of it."

He listened carefully to Song Shi's retelling of the battle.

“But even if it’s the throne of God, you still managed to achieve such a great victory.” Chu Tonglu shook his head again, with a bitter smile on his face: “This world is really not meant for human beings to live in.”

"What? Are you ready to quit while the going gets tough?" Song Shi also leaned back.

"You're overthinking." Chu Tonglu sneered, "The world may not allow people to live, but I'm not dead yet, am I? As long as I'm alive, there's hope. Hey, who can predict what the future will be like? Who knows, one day, I'll also become a god!"

“But then again.” Chu Tonglu frowned, “I defeated your last attack with a frontal punch, forcing you to put your hope on dying and then standing up.”

"No destruction, no construction. Destruction precedes construction." Song Shi didn't react much: "It can be considered a blessing in disguise. I have some ideas for the next psychic skill."

"Ideas?" Chu Tonglu chewed on it for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Self-created psychic skills?!"

"uh-huh."

Song Shi touched his chin.

"The closer I am to death, the more power I can unleash. What if I can actively put myself into this state?"

"There have actually been similar spiritual skills in history, such as our Donglu's 'Nirvana' and 'Silent Land'." Song Shi sighed, "But these are not quite the same as what I want. For example, 'Nirvana' means that the body and mind are annihilated, and everything is gone, transcending the cycle of life and death to a relatively quiet state."

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Chu Tonglu thought seriously for a while and put forward his own opinion: "In essence, death is a kind of urgency, pressure, and terror. Each of us is alive, but we only die once, so great power can erupt in great terror."

"I've been sitting here drinking with you until today, and I've had many near-death experiences. But every time I look back after the end, I'll break out in a cold sweat and feel lucky. No matter how many times I've experienced the horror of the intertwining of life and death, I can't face it calmly. Because in the final analysis, it was a state that was forced upon me by external forces and that I passively entered into."

"But Song Shi, if I follow your words and keep myself in this state, then the great fear that death brings to you will inevitably gradually decrease and become...light?"

Chu Tonglu paused and changed the word: "Well, or in other words, desensitization."
