Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 509 The First Batch of Exchange Students
Wow! !

The rain fell, drenching most of the city.

Although it was daytime, the sky was dark and thick clouds were everywhere in the heavy rain.

The rows of high-rise buildings and the apartment buildings of varying sizes were all lit up.

On major and minor roads, cars were surprisingly scarce on any given day.

The empty overpass, shrouded in rain, resembled a long road stretching to the horizon.

Chu Tianshu stood high on the overpass, holding a black umbrella, looking at the city in the rain.

After resting for a few days, he has softened the crystals on his body surface and melted them back into his body, and his hair has begun to grow back.

However, his original hair was already completely white, while the newly grown hair was jet black, making it appear as if it were half black and half white.

She made some minor adjustments, tied her hair into a bun, and used a blunt white jade hairpin. The stray hairs left in front of her forehead were all black.

Previously, when taking stock of the spoils at the Heaven and Earth Palaces, Chu Tianshu's original clothes were torn in the battle, so he simply found a set of robes that fit him better.

The clothes, which had been blessed with magical power, were indeed comfortable, and he continued to wear them even after returning to reality.

He wore a cross-collar robe, with a white inner garment embroidered with delicate wildflowers. On the silver belt, tiny incantations were faintly drawn. On the outermost layer, he wore a black, wide-sleeved overcoat.

Recently, advertisements have been widely disseminated through computers, televisions, mobile phones, and large advertising screens in train stations, subways, and squares.

Even now, when it rains, videos recorded by Qian Jin are still playing on the advertising screen.

"I am the commander of the 19th battalion of the Huotang Guard of Changzhou Kingdom. The vast majority of us, the Fangfeng clan, are similar to the current human race. We are also subjects of King Yu the Great, descendants of Yan and Huang. Please do not be too alarmed..."

"All compatriots who come to this city, please abide by local laws and regulations, voluntarily report your identity, and accept reasonable arrangements..."

Everyone knows that today will see the first large-scale exchange between the real human population and the spirit world population.

No one knows if they will be among the first group to be exchanged.

For safety reasons, they naturally cannot drive or work outside.

If possible, it's best to isolate yourself in a single room and play the official promotional videos on a loop.

Some people are still video chatting with their families on their phones, while others are writing furiously.

Some people are even livestreaming, discussing whether they will be part of this great adventure in the spirit world.

Chu Tianshu's gaze fell upon an apartment building. On the third floor, a young man in a shirt with the curtains open was recording a video of himself.

"If anyone comes in, I don't know if it's my older brother or older sister, don't move around in my room."

"I'm still renting this room. Living in Shanghai is tough. I've heard there are also migrant workers in your area. Please understand the hardships of being a beast of burden. I'm begging you."

"But these dishes are for my older brother and sister."

The young man held up his phone, making sure he and the food on the table were in the same frame.

"This red can is soda, a kind of drink, and it tastes better than the blue can."

"I also have two bottles of liquor I bought online. The baijiu is very strong and spicy, and the yellow one is beer..."

After recording the video, the young man used a phone stand to prop up his phone on the table and set the video to loop.

"Hey, I heard that ordinary technology from the real world will malfunction in the spirit world, and you can't even take your cell phone there."

The young man sat on his small stool, his right leg swinging back and forth, looking somewhat anxious.

"Forty-nine days without a cell phone, ah, I'm going to die..."

He kept muttering about his phone, but the expression in his eyes was very complicated.

It's impossible not to feel uneasy when going to a place like the spirit world.

However, we are all adults in this new era. After so many days of publicity, there's no need to keep crying and wailing.

"Be more carefree, be more carefree."

The young man patted his face. "Who knows, maybe my trip to the spirit world will be the beginning of a cross-world trading business, where I'll discover opportunities with my keen eye?"

He walked to the window, used the glass as a mirror, and fixed his hair.

"Okay, very spirited!"

The young man vaguely saw what appeared to be a figure on the overpass in the distance and stared at it with a puzzled look.

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "Hello."

The moment the words left his mouth, a different person appeared reflected in the windowpane.

He looked nine-tenths like the original young man, but he was wearing a blue coarse cloth outfit and his hair was tied in a bun.

Upon arriving, the man looked surprised, then seemed to realize something.

"The notice posted in the lower courtyard of Diliang Palace, is it actually true?"

He didn't notice the figures on the bridge in the distance, but instead noticed the voices that had been playing behind him, and turned his head to look.

The video on his phone made him very wary.

But after watching it twice, he roughly understood what the video was about.

"Is this another version of me in the world? But why does it have such delicate skin?"

The man walked to the table, rolled up his sleeves, and compared his arm to the young man's arm in the video.

"This kid's physique isn't good. How can he become a factory worker with that kind of physique?"

The livestock industry in Changzhou is exceptionally developed, and even ordinary workers do not lack meat.

The man didn't touch the food and wine on the table; instead, he sat down and began to ponder.

Suddenly, a drone approached from outside the window, emitting a soft, melodious sound.

"A citizen of the spirit world has been detected. Please follow the instructions to complete the identity registration."

The man was startled and turned to look out the window.

On the overpass.

Chu Tianshu looked around.

All the drones deployed throughout the city have taken off.

At every intersection, on every street lamp, and inside every residential area.

These dutiful electronic guards are detecting every anomaly, flying past in the rain to provide guidance.

The torrential rain could not stop these latest products, which were painstakingly produced under the leadership of Chang'an Institute of Technology.

Whenever there was a situation where guidance was not accepted or the drone was damaged, the soldiers immediately took action.

The two-headed snake slithered out of the brocade pouch at Chu Tianshu's waist, coiled around his torso, climbed up his back, and finally settled on his right shoulder.

"This area corresponds to the town of the Eighteenth Battalion, but Elder Feng Baili corresponds to that old professor who was imprisoned thirteen years ago and died of stomach cancer two years ago."

"Elder Feng is very likely to be on the first list, but it is difficult to determine where he will be after he arrives in this world."

Chu Tianshu said, "Senior He gave him a communication jade pendant, but there's no guarantee he'll use it immediately."

Not being clever, he immediately said, "Grandpa He borrowed a bit of our blood essence and left a hidden trick on that old man. As long as he comes to this city, he won't escape our watchful eyes!"

Xiao Zuo has already said, "It seems to be over there."

Chu Tianshu rose gracefully and soared into the distance.

A short while later, he arrived outside a school campus.

In front of the empty campus, there are only large yellow lines painted on the road to regulate parking.

Raindrops pelted the earth, bursting into tiny, scattered petals.

Feng Baili was surrounded by a gentle breeze that shielded him from the rain as he looked up at the school's teaching buildings.

"Is this your academy?" "This should only be considered a local academy."

Chu Tianshu walked to his side and asked with a smile, "What is the elder's opinion of this place?"

Feng Baili replied truthfully, "The house is nice, but there are too few people, so it feels a bit deserted."

"Hahaha!"

Chu Tianshu said, "That's because it's a holiday today. When school starts again, this place will be packed, if not overflowing with people, it will be as crowded as a thousand horses galloping."

Today's students have always been one of the most energetic groups on average.

Putting everything else aside, in terms of vitality, we will definitely not lose.

Feng Baili looked surprised: "Is it really that lively? That makes for a nice place."

Besides the Heaven and Earth Palaces, the most common form of education in Changzhou Kingdom is still private schools.

The Heavenly King Palace was arguably the place with the strongest academic atmosphere that Feng Baili had ever seen in his life, but unfortunately he could not stay for long, which he regretted.

Helai wanted to win him over, so he sincerely came to set an example by taking him to see some evidence under the Heavenly King's Palace, which made him doubtful and greatly shocked.

Unexpectedly, the first thing he saw upon arriving in reality was the school.

"Forty-nine days is enough for you to enjoy yourself. Even if you return to the spirit world in the future, you can come back again by using a soul-possessed body or other means."

Chu Tianshu said softly, "However, I can only accompany you for one day. After that, I will have to hand you over to another tour guide."

Feng Baili bowed and said, "Young master is unfathomable. It is an honor for me to have the leisure to accompany this old man."

"The elder still has a grudge in his heart."

Chu Tianshu put his arm around his shoulder and said casually, "Let's go, we can talk as we walk."

“It’s normal for everyone to be a little wary of each other, but that doesn’t stop us from cooperating.”

"Elder, you can use the by-products of the Cursed Yuan Fire Pond to synthesize feed and make a great reform in the aquaculture industry. The entire Changzhou will benefit from your achievements. Wouldn't it be a great pity if this reputation were to truly decay like grass and trees?"

"Taking advantage of this incident, we can shine, do some big advertising, and help appease the people of the spirit world. I think this is just the beginning of the elder's later life."

Feng Baili simply smiled.

Chu Tianshu continued, "Does the elder know where all these lights in the city come from, and who supplies the energy? We don't have any incantation fire pits here."

Feng Baili's expression shifted, and he couldn't help but look at the city lights.

He had long noticed that the city lights were so stable, far surpassing the flow of candlelight, that they seemed to possess an aura of thunder.

But it's unbelievable that the Thunder could be so docile.

Moreover, what kind of thunder magic treasure would be needed to draw upon heavenly thunder to support the entire city?

"That's why I say, Elder, you still have a lot to achieve in the second half of your life."

Chu Tianshu smiled slightly as he looked at the curiosity in his eyes, which was no less than that of a young man.

A moment later, the two arrived at a building.

On the top floor of the building, everything was ready for the live broadcast, and the accompanying guests were all in place.

All that's left is for Feng Baili to take his seat, read through his prepared remarks, and if there are no objections, he will begin his live speech.

Although Chu Tianshu somewhat enjoys fame, he is too lazy to participate in such lengthy live streams.

He was resting next to the studio, half-lying on the sofa, holding a pear in front of his nose and sniffing it, his mind immersed in the cultivation technique he had recently been studying.

After much deliberation, he decided to focus on the Earthly Ruler's characteristic "Measure the Heart and Shadow" and integrate other materials for this optimization.

...The mixing of materials is complete.

...The simulation has been completed.

"Number of Collapses in Jiuquan Mountain".

The soul enjoys ultimate bliss, while life returns to the netherworld.

The Mountain Collapse Divine Palm, a finger-calculation technique.

With a heart as deep and mysterious as the deepest spring, one uses a thousand techniques to exert force outwards, obtaining the counterforce of countless external objects, tempering the body with blood and sweat, and achieving the intention of lasting happiness.

The palm and fingers can not only grasp the physical wave pattern of objects, but also measure the psychological scale of enemies and friends.

Once this method is mastered, one can use it to calculate and apply it in battle. Whenever a skillful move fails to kill, one can assess the opponent's physical and mental state.

With a flick of the fingers and a palm strike, Mount Bliss crumbles; with a single finger strike, all beings of the same kind are annihilated.

It must be said that Chu Tianshu chose to focus on the characteristics of the Earthly Ruler and optimize his cultivation technique.

To a large extent, the existence of the general principles of the Victorious Law was taken into consideration.

The Mountain Collapse Dipper Method is good at learning moves, but it only requires mastering the form and spirit. One must also rely on one's original physical strength to support its power.

The general principle of the winning method is to be good at understanding the corresponding vital energy from the intention of the move.

These two sets of techniques are naturally a perfect match, far superior to the results obtained by deriving the Mountain Collapse Palm from other characteristics.

The Mountain Collapse Divination Method, the General Principle of Victory, Radiates from the Great Void.

Practice the techniques, borrow the energy from the mind, and enhance your physical strength.

In this way, Chu Tianshu's three main sets of techniques now form a progressive and smooth framework.

The effort made in each of the three techniques can be completely absorbed by the other two techniques, without much redundancy, waste, or contradiction.

click!
Chu Tianshu took a bite of the pear, chewed slowly, and kept his eyes closed.

The sound of every drop of pear juice bursting in my mouth seemed to blend seamlessly with the overwhelming sound of raindrops outside the building.

In today's context of the "mountain collapse" divination method, the force of rain hitting a building can be seen as a reflection of the force emanating from oneself.

Some people on the same floor who were closer to the windows noticed this with surprise.

When raindrops hit the windowpane, they no longer shatter or gather into streams.

Instead, they are like tiny pearls that linger on the windowpane and tremble slightly.

Then, they rolled off the glass one by one.

The water stains remaining on the glass are decreasing.

In the end, a strange scene was created where it was pouring rain outside, but the windows and tables were bright and clean.

The clear windowpane was spotless, with not a single water stain, only round beads rolling down in droves.

The clerks by the window were all stunned.

click!
Chu Tianshu took another bite of the pear, wanting to try to expand this skill—the ability to sense and precisely target all raindrops—to the next level.

Just then, the token screen suddenly popped up automatically.

"Ok?"

Chu Tianshu had already discovered that after accumulating enough Qi in his hometown, he should be able to rest for ten days before traveling through time.

Today is only the seventh day.

The "Destiny" section of the Youdu Token was shining brightly, giving the impression that it was about to take him through time.

"what happened?"

He had barely shown a look of confusion when his figure disappeared from the sofa.

The two-headed snake fell onto the sofa, its four eyes wide open, looking around in confusion.

The little snake was sleeping soundly in the brocade pouch, but suddenly the pouch disappeared.

Oh wait, the snake breeder has completely disappeared!
