In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 152: Mild and Steady Dark Walker
"If it's a date, then of course... eh... this..."

Mudan raised her right elbow with her left hand, pinched her face with her right hand, and searched the database carefully.

Then he said quickly:
“According to the definition of dating in the database, it is generally divided into degrees.

“Mild is when two people who like each other meet and interact appropriately to enhance their feelings for each other.

"In the moderate sense, a date is a tryst, a meeting between lovers accompanied by the mixing of sexual desire.

"Severe words can refer to some behaviors prohibited by law. The law prohibits the dissemination of this information, so Mudan cannot tell you.

"But Peony's machine soul can confirm that your date with Chief Lingtong should be mild and will transition from mild to moderate."

Wang Jixuan laughed and scolded: "Your answer is irrelevant. What I asked is what should we do? Go for a walk, or find a place to eat, or... read a book in the library, or sit under a tree to enjoy the cool and discuss how to make ourselves stronger?"

Mudan exclaimed with a hint of surprise: "Sir, is this your first date?"

"In the past, there was, sort of, probably."

The Taoist priest's mind flashed back to playing the zither and drinking wine under the peach blossom forest, and to sitting behind the railings of the Sutra Library and discussing the Dao, and then flashed back to...

He smiled and rejected his senior sister's kindness, avoided her expectant eyes, and turned to look at the cold cave wall.

My devotion to the Tao has never wavered.

However, the failure in facing the heavenly tribulation last time also forced Wang Jixuan to examine himself and wonder whether such a somewhat crazy pursuit of the immortal path violated the essence of cultivation.

A person lives for a lifetime, and the vegetation is for fall.

Obsession is at work and one cannot get his true self.

"Then I roughly know what's going on... I'll take a rest. Please send a message to Ling Tong later and ask her if she wants to have dinner together."

"When exactly is the later time?"

"Within two hours to an hour and a half before dinner, don't be too deliberate, and try to keep your tone calm so that people don't think I have any intentions."

"understand!"

……

"I took the initiative to go on a date with Wang Zheng?"

Lingtong, who was repairing the robotic arm, looked at Sister Wan with some confusion.

"Is this appropriate? With so much happening lately, there are still threats from psykers and blade beasts out there."

"There's nothing inappropriate."

Sister Wan was wearing a white coat and had her long hair tied up in a virtuous style. She was checking various data while casually responding:

"Are you and Wang Zheng going to continue to be so ambiguous?

"If it were a peaceful era, it would be okay for you to be ambiguous for a few years. This kind of youthful innocence is a rare experience in a lifetime.

“But please, this is the Age of Fortresses. No one knows whether they can see the sun tomorrow. Not indulging desires is already a good and lawful child.

"If you don't enjoy love now, will you regret it when you are dying?"

Lingtong, who had no arms, couldn't do much movement and could only turn his head away.

She whispered, "The situation is still too tense now. Everyone is actively preparing for war and production."

"The cutting-edge combat force does not need to participate in production."

Sister Wan looked at Ling Tong with a smile:

"Besides, this is just a date, going to enjoy a good night and get spiritual comfort... As your chief mental health therapist, I gave you this reasonable advice based on your current mental stress."

Lingtong pursed her lips in reverie.

Even without makeup, her skin as smooth as a baby's was still extremely attractive. Her long eyelashes blinked slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Her usual firmness and strength turned into a pool of autumn water at this moment.

"Then how can I ask him out so that I can appear more decent?"

"Very good, my young and beautiful commander, you have finally taken this step."

Sister Wan blinked her left eye gently:
"Don't worry, you have a lot to learn. I will finish my work first, and then I will give you a systematic training."

Ling Tong reminded: "I read a lot of novels, romance novels."

Sister Wan sneered: "The more a romance novel resonates with readers, the less emotional experience its creator generally has. Because with less experience, they can fantasize more and have aspirations in their hearts. And literary creators who have experienced long-term relationships mostly describe the troubles and complaints brought about by the daily necessities of life after the passionate love fades."

"Well, alright," Ling Tong shrugged, "I'll take a break first and get enough rest."

"See you in two hours. I'll help you dress up nicely."

Sister Wan took out a communicator and quietly sent a heart-shaped emoji to Mudan, who then sent an encouraging emoji.

Wingman combat, great success!

Half past four in the afternoon.

Wang Jixuan woke up and sat in front of the mirror to meditate. Mudan was busy preparing clothes for his exclusive superior to wear later.

She suggested wearing formal attire directly, such as a Mao suit or a Western suit.

Wang Jixuan, however, advocates leisure and relaxation.

On the other side, Lingtong, who had put the robotic arm back on, was being pulled by Sister Wan to try on some clothes that she would not normally wear, such as suspender skirts and high heels, and was also trying on some cuter hairstyles.

But in Lingtong's opinion, twin ponytails are too lively, and updos are too mature, while long straight black hair is the most pleasing to the eye but the most difficult to match.

This also stumped the battle girl who was good at fighting.

at the same time.

A small ground shuttle quietly arrived near Fortress No. 76 in the Medieval Basin along the path left by the Blade Beasts.

……

Inside the narrow cabin of the shuttle.

Xing Dian looked at the monitoring screen in front of him. A 'wrong' psychic, who was bound by black bandages and was on the verge of death, was lying in the nutrition chamber and was carefully carried off the transport plane.

The location of the surveillance background is Xing Dian’s snow mountain base.

Several of his most trusted old friends are testing this psychic and must confirm that he is an S-level psychic.

That is the only material that Xing Dian lacks now.

Xing Dian waited quietly for the news from the other side, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

This conversation with the six elders made Xing Dian intuitively feel... the weakness of these six old guys.

The kind of weakness that was frightened by Fu Jian.

Xing Dian thought about it carefully and found it quite magical.

[The six people with the highest status in the City of Psychic Power are extremely wary of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone, but the young and strong people with a slightly lower status in the City of Psychic Power are dismissive of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.

In the D5 war zone, almost everyone thinks that the Psychic City is an extremely evil force, and most people in D5 think that it is the Psychic City that persecutes D5. 】

"Magical guys."

Xing Dian curled his lips and chuckled, then sat on the chair and thought about his next move.

When the shuttle was still several kilometers away from Fortress No. 76, it was blocked by a collapse in front.

Seeing this, Xing Dian just narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly put on various equipment, including a holographic belt, a shielding bracelet, and a breathing helmet. A smile appeared on his old face.

He actually never told anyone.

In the entire sphere of influence of the Psionic City, he is not the most capable S-class, nor the best at fighting, but he is actually one of the few with the most growth potential.

What Xing Dian is truly proud of is his learning ability.

All of his students are his teachers. By meditating and training with these students, he can gradually discover the different ways in which spiritual energy operates in their bodies and then master these ways himself.

Xing Dian has almost all the abilities awakened by his students.

Moreover, he must be stronger. On the screen of the shuttle control panel, a few old guys made a gesture, and the word 'S' grade was displayed on the psychic detection instrument next to it.

Got it, finally got it!
S-level material!
The door to becoming an SS-level psychic has opened before him!

At this moment, Xing Dian was even a little afraid that his old brothers would betray him. He closed his eyes and took a breath. He wanted to say a few words to "encourage" his old brothers, but he quickly chose not to do these unnecessary things.

Too much is as bad as too little, only trust can do the trick.

Nourishing.

Xing Dian heard a mature female voice in his earphones: "Old squad leader, start working as soon as you finish inspecting the goods. Don't worry, I will keep this matter confidential for you, and I will never tell anyone in our old classmates group."

"My mission is just to explore," Xing Dian said leisurely, "If you encounter problems when attacking this fortress later, I will not rescue you."

"I, attack, have problems?"

The woman sneered:
"Do you think this is the lair of the devil's commander-in-chief? How funny.

"There are only a few secret laboratories here, and at most a dozen semi-human mechas are guarding them.

"According to the news we just received, two new groups of king-level blade beasts are moving from the periphery towards the D5 war zone. The specific reason is unknown, but it is very likely related to the abnormality that occurred in the previous Fortress No. 82 and their broken crystal core.

"The entire D5's attention is now outside."

Xing Dian simply nodded and didn't chat much with the old woman.

He took out a photo and looked at the 'Demon-Breaking Dagger' on it with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

If there really are relics of spiritual civilization here, this might be an opportunity...

Xing Dian narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly suppressed these chaotic thoughts.

That was something he could only consider after he truly entered the SS-level realm.

He admitted that when Mo Feng died, his mentality was indeed unbalanced after Fu Jian removed one of his arms, and he did some crazy things.

But that wasn't his normal level.

He likes conspiracy and darkness, and he gets everything he wants step by step, even if he has to suffer some humiliation for it.

"Okay, don't contact me later. Even weak electromagnetic waves can expose me."

Xing Dian put away the photos, tapped his headphones, and checked the three cameras he was carrying, two of which were spares.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes, his body was covered by a layer of khaki light.

When he jumped out of the shuttle, his body seemed to sink into a quagmire and gradually merged with the rocks.

Ji Xiao had no idea that his ability to drill into the earth actually had unlimited possibilities.

But it doesn’t matter, Ji Xiao’s teacher knows.

Xing Dian carefully avoided various "mines" placed in the rock formations and gradually approached Fort No. 76.

There is no instrument here that can detect the presence of this S-class psychic, and Xing Dian has absolute confidence in this.

After all, the name he made in the Psychic City back then was...

[The Lord of Darkness].

……

Six o'clock in the evening.

The desert outside Fort 76 is welcoming the last bit of heat before sunset.

In the wheat fields on the seventh floor, unmanned machines are operating automatically, injecting new fertilizers and seeds into the soil, starting the next harvest cycle of the wheat fields.

The aroma of cooking starch wafted from within the walls of the orphanage, and young men and women strolled along the cement path in the fields.

The outfit Wang Jixuan finally chose was rather ordinary, with camouflage combat pants, a pair of black military boots, and a dark green short-sleeved shirt. His refreshing short hair had a faint scent of shampoo.

Compared to him, the woman put much more effort into dressing up.

For the first time ever, Lingtong changed into a denim dress instead of her favorite tight jeans.

She wore light makeup, with her long hair half tied up and half down, her bangs carefully combed, and her straight nose tip with a hint of luster.

Normally it was very natural for the two of them to chat, but now, they both found it difficult to start talking.

The two physical contacts that had occurred before seemed to have become part of their amnesia PLAY.

Ling Tong: "Let's go..."

"Do you want to become stronger?"

Wang Jixuan brought out the topic he had prepared for a long time.

A battle girl can refuse to become more beautiful, but she cannot refuse to become more powerful!

——This is how Master Wang understands it.

Ling Tong tilted his head and asked, "Why, are you asking this suddenly?"

"Just asking casually," Wang Jixuan shrugged, "You know, I have inherited a certain civilization, and I actually hold some keys, but I can't take them out for the time being."

"Well, I can understand that you are afraid that these technologies will be passed on to psychics and pose a fatal threat to you."

"Indeed it is."

Wang Jixuan's spiritual consciousness extended naturally, covering a range of about three to four hundred meters. This was his usual comfortable state.

If his spiritual consciousness extends too far, he will take in too much information, which will quickly make his mind sleepy.

Wang Jixuan sighed softly, put his hands behind his back, and looked a little distant.

Article 1 of Peony Love Law:
[If you can't find a topic to talk about, then don't talk about it. Just make sure the topic is about the other person and don't mention yourself easily.]

Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "I've always felt that you have great potential. I've massaged you so many times, and I can guarantee this."

The first rule of Sister Wan's love:
[Most of the compliments from men are from intentions towards women. Don’t reject such intentions, but don’t fall for the sugar-coated bullets, lest the other party look down on you.]

"Thank you."

Ling Tong pursed her lips to reveal a slight smile, and looked down at the pair of sneakers she had carefully selected:
"I'm actually not sure if I can be a horror mecha pilot in the future."

“This shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

Wang Jixuan said in a gentle voice:

"Even if you do nothing from now on, I can still let you drive the Horror Mecha. The Horror Mecha just puts a huge load on the body, so it requires 100% modification.

"Actually, I don't quite understand. The technology of a loyal wingman like Mudan is so perfect, why can't they be allowed to fly it?"

"Because of mechanical awakening, and mechanical awakening can be transmitted."

Ling Tong briefly explained:
“A single autonomous machine already has the risk of losing control.

“If hundreds of thousands of autonomous machines are activated at the same time, as long as one of them develops self-thinking, the entire mechanical group will quickly awaken.

“We have verified this in many aspects, and during the experiment, out-of-control incidents continued to occur.

"So, the half-human mecha technology, which was originally just a transitional technology, has now become the main support for human military development."

Wang Jixuan nodded, and just as he was about to praise her courage and sacrifice, he felt a slight pain between his eyebrows.

in danger?
At the edge of his spiritual consciousness, an extremely faint figure flashed by and approached him rapidly.

Wang Jixuan barely caught a glimpse of a powerful, mottled aura.

what's the situation?
Wang Jixuan suddenly rushed in front of Lingtong with a quick step. When Lingtong showed a trace of panic, he decisively approached Lingtong, almost bumping into her, using her body as a shield, and quickly forming seals with his sword fingers with both hands.

The present situation is different from the past, his spiritual awareness is spreading rapidly, comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Search the sky! Reveal!
Wuliang, that Tianzun... this guy has such a strong aura, he seems to be...

Xing Dian? !
