Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 104 I am waiting for the first lightning bolt in the sky

Qilin Garden, Building 1, double room.

"The Ministry of Supervision is quite large, and the people there are very polite and friendly... The coffee is also delicious, hehe..."

Gao Wu was telling Song Mingyue about his experience in the Ministry of Supervision. He was in a good mood because he had successfully passed the review.

Song Mingyue sat quietly across from him, listening. Although she judged that there would be no problem with this matter, seeing Gao Wu's excited expression, she couldn't help but be infected by his emotions, and she felt more relaxed.

She said, "Zhang Yunyi is the vice minister. If nothing happened when he personally presided over the review, then there's really nothing wrong."

The main thing is that things were resolved smoothly, and she was really happy for Gao Wu.

Anjing is the center of Beizhou, and the Ministry of Supervision has immense power. If they really want to detain Gao Wu, even if she asks her grandfather for help, it will probably be very difficult to get Gao Wu out.

"President Shen said the reward points will be credited to my account tomorrow." Gao Wu said, taking the tablet computer and excitedly opening the Hunter Association's official website.

After verifying his personal account, Gao Wu entered the Hunter Association's intranet. Unfortunately, his points hadn't been credited yet, so he could only see some ordinary firearms, swords, and potions.

According to the Hunter Association's rules, only those who reach the corresponding points level can have higher-level privileges on the internal network.

Song Mingyue glanced at the products on the webpage and said, "The Hunter Association has all kinds of high-end potions. Unfortunately, there's not enough time."

She could resonate with Gao Wu's spirit and sense the vibrant life force within him. Given Gao Wu's condition, he wouldn't have to worry about side effects even when using warrior-level potions.

To use a popular internet phrase: Gao Wu is simply a born master of medicine!
However, the Qilin Cup semi-finals are just two days away, and it would be difficult for the drugs to be effective in such a short time.

The drug will cause certain changes to the body, requiring time for digestion, adjustment, and adaptation. These significant changes might actually negatively impact Gao Wu's performance in the competition.

"Bai Yushuang and the others are easily defeated and need not be taken seriously."

Gao Wu killed two warriors in the secret realm, and his confidence soared.

With his current insane power and superhuman physique, he can easily sweep away Bai Yushuang and other newly promoted junior warriors.

Of course, the samurai's energy field is indeed troublesome. If that doesn't work, just use the Gale-Lightning Transformation; after all, many people know that his mental strength is extremely strong.

By showing off a little skill, they can gain the trust of martial arts masters like Shen An.

Obtaining the Kirin Elixir might help him advance to the rank of Samurai, which is extremely important. As for the honor of the Kirin Cup, it's not that important.

Song Mingyue understood Gao Wu's meaning, and she nodded slightly: "That's fine too."

There's no need to hide your talent too much in front of so many martial arts masters. Showcasing your exceptional talent is the only way to gain attention and secure sufficient resources.

If we only consider Gao Wu's martial arts talent, it can indeed be described as mediocre. As for his drug resistance talent, there is actually a clear upper limit.

Martial arts masters value spiritual talent more. After all, at the Martial Master level, the spirit is the foundation for progress.

Once Gao Wu made up his mind, he felt relieved.

The difference between him and the warriors lies in the source energy field. Apart from that, he can completely suppress Bai Yushuang and the others in terms of strength and physical strength. On the narrow arena, this advantage will be magnified many times over.

He warmly invited Song Mingyue, "We're free tomorrow, let's go to Longmen to see the river view..."

That day, when Gao Wu passed by the Longmen Bridge, he felt that the surging river was quite majestic. He happened to be free tomorrow, and he had already arranged to visit the Longmen Bridge with Shang Qingjun.

Song Mingyue wasn't interested in Jiang Jing, but she didn't want to refuse Gao Wu's invitation, so she nodded slightly: "Okay."

“My sister is coming along tomorrow too, so you two can get to know each other,” Gao Wu said.

When Song Mingyue heard that there were outsiders present, a hint of hesitation appeared in her bright eyes; she disliked socializing.

She always treated outsiders with distance, indifference, and even coldness. However, the other person was Gao Wu's sister, and she had heard Gao Wu mention her a few times, knowing that Gao Wu and his sister had a very good relationship.

Given this relationship, she couldn't be too cold or aloof, which made things a bit complicated.

Gao Wu knew Song Mingyue very well. He grabbed Song Mingyue's hand and chuckled, "My dear friend, don't be too closed off, and don't resist this world."

Song Mingyue subtly withdrew her hand, nodding slightly to indicate her agreement with Gao Wu's statement, and said she would definitely go tomorrow.

"It's a bit awkward with fewer people. How about this, I'll invite Han Yang and Yang Ru. Yang Ru is a bit silly but loves to talk, she can liven things up. Han Yang is smart and good at talking, with them around, it'll be much better..."

Gao Wu could understand Song Mingyue's social anxiety very well. She almost never talked to outsiders, and even with someone as close as Aunt Lan, she would not chat.

She talks the most when she's with him, but she almost never chats. Asking her to socialize with someone like that is truly asking the impossible.

But since this is such a good opportunity, Jun-jie and Song Mingyue should meet. They'll both be at Anjing University in the future, so they'll inevitably have to interact.

Back in her room, Song Mingyue opened the makeshift wardrobe, where several sets of ironed clothes hung. She looked at these clothes and fell into deep thought.

"Should I dress more formally when meeting Gao Wu's family for the first time?"

"When going out to enjoy the river view, dressing formally would seem out of place, so something more relaxed and casual is better..."

After thinking for a while, Song Mingyue finally chose a gray-white blended short trench coat. The material was crisp with a nano-coating, breathable and waterproof, making it suitable for travel.

She also chose a white shirt, straight-leg casual jeans, and white athletic shoes.

After putting the clothes on the bed and putting them together, Song Mingyue thought they looked good – casual yet appropriate, with an overall elegant and clean style.

Song Mingyue mentally rehearsed what polite things to say when they met, and how to maintain a respectful yet not awkward distance...

The next morning at nine o'clock, Gao Wu ran to Song Mingyue's room to pick her up.

Seeing Song Mingyue's white shirt and jeans, Gao Wu laughed out loud: "My good friend, you and I are wearing matching outfits!"

Gao Wu was also wearing a white shirt, light blue and white jeans, and white shoes. It wasn't that he was good at matching outfits; these were actually everyday clothes that Song Mingyue had bought for him.

He only brought this one set of everyday clothes with him to Ankyo. The rest were combat uniforms, martial arts uniforms, and so on.

Actually, he usually likes to wear his school uniform the most, because it's loose and casual, and he doesn't care if it gets dirty or torn.

For Gao Wu, what he wears is not important; what matters is that he wields the Destiny Sword.

Song Mingyue glanced at the sword in Gao Wu's hand, and nodded slightly, expressing her appreciation for Gao Wu's safety awareness.

She said softly, "The forecast says it will rain heavily today, so I'll bring an umbrella."

"Heavy rain is good. Watching the river in the rain must be a unique experience." Gao Wu has an extremely strong physique and doesn't care whether it's raining or not.

He added apologetically, "Han Yang and Yang Ru have something to do today and can't go."

Song Mingyue blinked, indicating that it was okay.

Gao Wu understood Song Mingyue too well. He patted Song Mingyue's shoulder and comforted her, "Good friend, just follow me, you don't need to say anything."

Before he could say anything more, his phone rang. He took it out and glanced at it, then said, "My sister and the others have arrived. They drove here, which saves us the trouble."

As the two entered the hall, Gao Wu saw Shang Qingjun standing side by side with a tall, beautiful woman at the entrance.

"Sister Jun." Gao Wu quickly took two steps over to greet her.

Today, Shang Qingjun wore her hair in a bun, with an ebony hairpin inserted diagonally. She wore a white, antique-style long-sleeved shirt on top and a light blue horse-face skirt on the bottom.

Shang Qingjun is naturally gentle and graceful, and a set of traditional ancient-style clothing makes her look even more bright and elegant.

The beautiful woman next to her, Zhou Hongying, had almond-shaped eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows, delicate features, and long hair draped over her shoulders. Wearing the same style of white antique-style shirt and black embroidered gold horse-face skirt, she appeared exceptionally charming and alluring.

Zhou Hongying was already slightly taller than Shang Qingjun, and with high heels on, she exuded a captivating charm even when standing still.

Gao Wu often saw Zhou Hongying when he video chatted with Shang Qingjun, and he had also heard Shang Qingjun mention her name. He never expected that she would be even more charming and beautiful in person than in the video.

He also greeted her warmly, "Sister Hongying."

Shang Qingjun smiled at Gao Wu, her gaze fixed on Song Mingyue. She had often heard Xiao Wu mention Song Mingyue, but this was the first time she had seen her in person.

Song Mingyue has a slender and tall figure, standing at 177 centimeters. The short trench coat perfectly accentuates her figure, and her neat and sophisticated short hair gives her a sharp look. The sunglasses add a touch of mystery and aloofness to her appearance.

This is a girl with a very special temperament. Although Zhou Hongying is beautiful and charming, she cannot outshine Song Mingyue in terms of looks.

Standing next to Gao Wu, Song Mingyue and Gao Wu were in perfect proportion, creating an indescribable harmony.

Shang Qingjun took two steps forward and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, I'm Sister Shang Qingjun, the Little Wu sister."

Song Mingyue politely removed her sunglasses and formally shook hands with Shang Qingjun, saying, "Hello, Sister Jun, my name is Song Mingyue."

Gao Wu was also shaking hands with Zhou Hongying, and he smiled brightly: "Sister Hongying is even prettier than in the video, a real beauty!"

"You're especially handsome too!" Zhou Hongying smiled gently. She had always admired Gao Wu's heroic and handsome appearance and always joked with Shang Qingjun about wanting to be her sister-in-law. Now that she saw Gao Wu in person, she really liked him a bit.

It's hard to say why I like him. Maybe it's because Gao Wu's tall and slender figure is very charming, maybe it's because Gao Wu's smile is brighter than the sun, or maybe it's because his white shirt looks particularly clean and comfortable.

In short, she had a very, very good impression of Gao Wu from the first time she saw him.

Zhou Hongying comes from a prominent family and has always been very popular. She is generous and enthusiastic in her interactions with others, which contrasts sharply with Song Mingyue's reserved and aloof demeanor.

Gao Wu chatted with Zhou Hongying for a bit, finding his charming and alluring roommate, Sister Jun, quite congenial. Well, he generally felt a connection with any pretty woman who smiled at him. Unless it was someone as arrogant as Bai Yushuang…

Gao Wu introduced Song Mingyue and Zhou Hongying to each other. The two beauties did not shake hands but nodded slightly to greet each other, maintaining a good distance.

Zhou Hongying actually enjoys making friends, but for some reason, she feels a slight sense of repulsion when she sees Song Mingyue.

Some people hit it off immediately, while others will dislike each other after just one glance; there's no logic to it.

It can only be said that they are incompatible.

Zhou Hongying drove a compact Tianma sedan, its pomegranate red paint gleaming like a mirror. Shang Qingjun sat in the passenger seat, while Gao Wu and Song Mingyue sat in the back.

As a native of Anjing, Zhou Hongying is very familiar with the Longmen Bridge.

After driving for more than an hour, she arrived at the south bank of the Longmen Bridge and found the nearest parking lot.

The Longmen Bridge is a cable-stayed structure, with symmetrical cable stays and bridge towers forming the shape of a giant diamond.

The bridge is 7,000 meters long, with six lanes in both directions and two pedestrian walkways.

It was past ten o'clock when the four of them went onto the bridge. The sky was covered with layers of dark clouds, and many of the vehicles had already turned on their headlights.

"It's going to rain heavily..." Zhou Hongying looked at the gloomy sky and felt that the rain would be very heavy.

Gao Wu was somewhat excited. He could sense the thick moisture in the river breeze and see a rain cloud flying in his direction.

It felt like an enormous nozzle was slowly moving, spraying water randomly onto the land and rivers—it was quite interesting.

He could even sense the electric charge particles jumping and gathering in the clouds, and the vast electric field that filled the sky was just waiting for the right opportunity to be released.

Clouds, rain, wind, and thunder—the most important and universal natural changes—contain the profound principles of the universe.

Rain nourishes all things, wind spreads seeds, and thunder releases electric fields that stimulate all kinds of life in nature.

The changes in clouds, rain, and wind manifest as turbulent waves on the Bailong River, making the vast Bailong River seem like a rolling dragon, with a magnificent and imposing momentum.

For the first time, Gao Wu gained such a profound understanding of wind, clouds, thunder, and rain; the beautiful harmony of heaven and earth even moved him.

Song Mingyue was able to resonate with Gao Wu on a spiritual level. She could sense the profound joy of Gao Wu's spiritual enlightenment, which inevitably infected her and helped her relax from the tension of social interaction.

Although Shang Qingjun and Zhou Hongying did not share a spiritual connection with Gao Wu, they could still sense the joy and excitement emanating from Gao Wu's heart.

The two beauties were a little confused. Why was Gao Wu so excited about the rain?
Even if they didn't understand, it didn't stop them from being infected by Gao Wu's emotions, and smiles involuntarily appeared on their faces.

Gao Wu, engrossed in the wondrous changes in the weather, was unaware that a group of people were rapidly approaching.

Song Mingyue, however, was very perceptive and was the first to notice the menacing aura of this group. Her gaze immediately fell upon Bai Yushuang and Bai Dishan at the very front.

The young man accompanying the two on either side looked to be in his early twenties and resembled Bai Yushuang in appearance; he was probably Bai Yushuang's older brother.

The young man possessed a refined and scholarly air, quite unlike Bai Yushuang's flamboyant and arrogant demeanor. Song Mingyue had heard that the Bai family had a member named Bai Yucheng, who was hailed as a genius of the Bai family and had already become a high-level martial artist at a young age.

Judging from his appearance, it must be Bai Yucheng.

The others were all quite young, dressed in luxurious and exquisite clothes, and were probably members of the Bai family.

It was such a coincidence that she ran into the Bai family on the Longmen Bridge. Song Mingyue felt that Bai Yushuang must have done it on purpose.

Gao Wu and her whereabouts were no secret; you could find out by asking the receptionist.

Shang Qingjun and Zhou Hongying also saw the Bai family group. The two women didn't think anything of it. Longmen Bridge was a famous landmark in Anjing. If it weren't for the dark clouds and impending rain, there would be even more tourists on the bridge right now.

Bai Yushuang was delighted to see Gao Wu from afar. She had heard that Gao Wu had taken Song Mingyue out, and guessed that he had probably come to the Longmen Bridge.

This prompted Bai Yucheng to bring his people over to enjoy the river view.

Bai Yucheng is Bai Yushuang's cousin. They have been close since childhood, and even though he knew she had ulterior motives, he didn't care too much.

It doesn't matter where we go since it's a gathering of Bai family members.

"Third Brother, this is the guy who bullied me." Bai Yushuang pointed at Gao Wu and complained to Bai Yucheng.

"You don't want me to beat him up for you, do you?" Bai Yucheng chuckled. He was four years older than Bai Yushuang and was the president of the martial arts academy student council at Anjing University. He was a high-ranking martial artist and would never bully an eighteen-year-old boy.

His identity, Gao Wu's identity—it would be too embarrassing if word got out.

"No need, no need, just help me keep my composure and cheer me on."

As Bai Yushuang spoke, she stepped in front of Gao Wu and said, "What a coincidence, we've met again."

The other members of the Bai family stood about seven or eight meters away, mostly observing Gao Wu with curiosity. Bai Yucheng's gaze swept over Gao Wu for a moment, then fell on the three beauties, Song Mingyue and the other two.

He had no interest in the aloof Song Mingyue, and Zhou Hongying seemed too glamorous. On the contrary, the gentle and elegant Shang Qingjun suited his taste perfectly, and his eyes lit up: "What a beauty!"

Shang Qingjun didn't pay attention to Bai Yucheng. She looked at Bai Yushuang with some concern. This girl was clearly up to no good with her aggressive demeanor.

Instead, Zhou Hongying gently tugged at Shang Qingjun's hand and whispered in her ear, "Bai Yucheng, the president of our university's martial arts academy student union, is a formidable figure!"

Shang Qingjun glanced at Bai Yucheng. She knew the value of being the president of the martial arts academy's student council. It wasn't just about having high martial arts skills; one also needed a strong background and status to be able to control the situation.

She was even more worried: "With someone like that leading the charge, I'm afraid something bad is going to happen today..."

Gao Wu was sensing the changes in the energy of heaven and earth and didn't notice Bai Yushuang and her group until Bai Yushuang spoke.

He looked at Bai Yushuang with some surprise: "You're here too."

Gao Wu's gaze swept over Bai Yucheng, Bai Dishan and their group, and the Yin Spirit silently appeared behind him.

Out of caution, Gao Wu now likes to use his Yin Spirit to examine everyone he sees to see if they are followers of the Demon God.

They didn't detect any demonic aura, but they did see three acupoints on Bai Yucheng's body glowing brightly, indicating that he was actually a high-level warrior.

He didn't care. So what if he was a high-level warrior? Could he withstand his Yin Spirit Sword Control? And with Song Mingyue around, killing a high-level warrior with telekinetic sword control wouldn't be difficult.

Besides, the other party wouldn't dare to do anything reckless. There are also many surveillance cameras installed on the bridge.

A samurai has no right to disrupt the order of Ankyo in broad daylight and in public.

Unless the other person doesn't want to live anymore!
Bai Yushuang had no idea that Gao Wu had seen through her entire scheme. She raised her beautiful, sword-like eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Gao Wu, you might get first place in the preliminary round by luck. But there's no room for luck in the semi-finals."

"If you make it to the finals, I'll show you what Source Power and a true warrior are in the ring. Unfortunately, you won't have that chance!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Song Mingyue beside her, and said with some emotion, "You're beautiful, but you have no taste."

Song Mingyue completely ignored Bai Yushuang; she didn't even look at her. This made Bai Yushuang feel somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Bai Yushuang shook her finger at Gao Wu disdainfully and said, "A guy like you who only knows how to inject drugs is not qualified to be with me at all."

Before Bai Yushuang could finish speaking, Gao Wu suddenly put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture: "Shh, don't speak, it's coming..."

Bai Yushuang was annoyed at being interrupted, and she was about to lash out when

Gao Wu had already turned around, pointed to the bridge ahead, and excitedly shouted, "Come on!"

Before the words were finished, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the pitch-black, heavy clouds, tearing through the dark sky and striking the turbulent river.

A deafening thunderclap descended in sync with the lightning, shaking and roaring wildly between heaven and earth.

Lightning flashes and deafening roars burst into everyone's eyes and ears; the power of nature struck their hearts in the most direct and brutal way...

The continuous lightning spread and expanded in the air, with the outermost sliver of lightning even connecting with Gao Wu's finger.

From an outsider's perspective, it looked as if a powerful martial artist had unleashed a dazzling bolt of lightning...

Amidst the dazzling flashes of lightning, Bai Yushuang stood speechless in astonishment, her eyes fixed on the blazing electricity and the figure of the powerful warrior.

All her anger vanished in the sudden thunder, leaving her mind blank and standing there dumbfounded.

Not only Bai Yushuang, but also Bai Yucheng, a high-ranking warrior, could not hide the surprise on his face.

He usually values ​​elegance and would never make exaggerated expressions, but this time he couldn't control his expression either.

Bai Dishan was filming from a short distance away with his phone. This was at Bai Yushuang's request to film her scaring Gao Wu so that he could post it online to humiliate him.

The sudden lightning bolt startled Bai Dishan, shattering his usual composed demeanor...

The young elites of the Bai family were all utterly horrified.

Zhou Hongying stood right next to Gao Wu. She witnessed the whole process and heard Gao Wu and Bai Yushuang's conversation more clearly, including Gao Wu summoning thunder.

The high-level martial artist, whose body was crackling with electricity, had become incredibly mysterious and awe-inspiring in her mind. She had only one thought at that moment: "Wow, that's so cool!"
