Ultimate: Fishing Through the Heavens, Starting with Five Enlightenment Templates

"okay."

Xia Yu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, just confirmed it once and then turned away.

Lan Tianyu didn't linger. With a slight sway, he vanished from the living room as if merging into the air, instantly teleporting back to the training room on the second floor.

The rehearsal room was quiet, isolating it from the atmosphere downstairs.

He walked to the simple bed, sat down, and let out a long sigh of relief.

I haven't slept for almost two days. Although my body is fine thanks to the support of my internal energy, I do feel a noticeable sense of fatigue in my mind.

"Take a nap first."

He muttered to himself as he lay back on the soft bed.

Almost the instant his head hit the pillow, his relaxed nerves pulled him into a deep sleep.

The bed was soft and comfortable, and Lan Tianyu slept very soundly.

I finally woke up slowly at three in the morning.

He opened his eyes, his gaze clear in the darkness, without a trace of sleepiness remaining.

Without hesitation, he silently reopened the entrance to Annihilation.

A seven-colored light appeared and instantly engulfed his figure.

Lan Tianyu arrived at a place where the aura of the underworld was dense, sat cross-legged, and began a new round of cultivation.

……

Time slips through our fingers like sand, and another day has quietly passed.

Iron Alliance.

Xiu stood in his office, looking at the more than three hundred righteous superhumans who had assembled before him, their expressions either numb or struggling.

They were all more or less shrouded in unsettling demonic energy, or possessed by low-level demons.

After three days of emergency mobilization and screening, these people represent the limit of what he can currently gather.

"call……"

He let out a long breath, his brows furrowed with fatigue, but his eyes remained unusually firm.

Preparations are complete; now it's time to find someone to fulfill the promise.

He took out his time-traveling phone and dialed a number.

The first time I dialed, I heard a regular busy tone on the receiver, and no one answered.

Xiu frowned slightly and pressed the dial button again.

The second time, it was another long wait, and finally the call ended automatically.

Xiu's brows furrowed even more, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

He dialed a third time without hesitation.

There was still no answer.

Xiu's heart sank. No one had answered for so long. Had something happened?

Fortunately, the time-space mobile phones distributed by the Iron Alliance have a built-in accurate positioning module to prevent loss or members from getting into danger.

Xiu immediately dialed the technical department's hotline: "Locate the trans-temporal cell phone signal with serial number K-0714 for me, immediately!"

Soon, precise coordinates were returned.

Xiu looked at the address displayed on the screen.

Xia Mansion.

Without further hesitation, he put away his phone, his figure flashed like lightning, and he rushed out of the office, teleporting towards the Xia Mansion.

Unable to contact anyone, he had to go and check on Lan Tianyu's situation in person.

same moment.

A quiet, secluded alley.

Summer stood awkwardly in front of Cold, her face showing barely concealed excitement and a hint of trepidation.

He didn't expect to run into Han again so soon, and he never thought he would actually muster up the courage to strike up a conversation with her.

To his surprise, the cold and aloof Han was willing to talk to him.

"Um... Han, are all these your things?"

Summer pointed to the drum set next to Han and asked softly.

"Yes, they're all mine."

Han nodded slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the magazine in her hand.

She didn't have much money left and needed to find a part-time job.

"Are you moving?" Xia Tian continued to ask.

"Yes, my landlord kicked me out because he thought my drum practice was too noisy, and I have nowhere to go for the time being."

Han's voice remained cold and detached, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if he were merely stating a fact.

"I see." 183

Xia Tian nodded slightly, and without thinking, blurted out, "Then come stay at my house, I have a spare bedroom!"

Upon hearing this, he wished he could bite off his own tongue.

The only vacant room in his family's training room had long been rented to Lan Tianyu, so where would Han have a place to stay?

He panicked instantly, fearing that Han would think he was teasing her if she heard this.

But he dared not explain, for fear that Han would leave and never speak to him again.

Upon hearing this, Han looked at Xia Tian with her cool and aloof eyes.

She hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"If you don't mind that my drumming is making noise, I might go and take a look."

Summer was inwardly groaning, but could only manage a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Not at all, how could I mind? My family is very easy to talk to!"

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to find a way to cover up the lie.

He had no idea how to resolve the situation yet, so he could only take Han back first.

Or you could sleep on the living room sofa by yourself?

He dared not think too deeply, only that no matter what, he could not let the cold wave spread to the streets.

"Let's go then."

Han picked up her small bag with swift and decisive movements.

She frowned slightly as she looked at Xia Tian, ​​who was still standing there in a daze, her face full of confusion.

"Weren't we going to your house to look at the property? Aren't you going to show us the way?"

[148] Hatred etched in blood!

"Oh? Okay, I'll lead the way right away!"

Summer seemed to wake from a dream, hurriedly turned around, and braced herself to lead the way, her heart pounding.

Han carried her luggage and followed quietly a few steps behind him.

Just as summer, carrying a chill, turned several street corners and was about to reach the street where the main entrance of the Xia Mansion was located.

On another side road, a figure in a black uniform was also teleporting over.

This was the repairman who had tracked down the cell phone signal.

With a clear objective, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for the location of the signal source.

The two groups of people met unexpectedly on the not-so-wide street in front of the Xia Mansion and passed each other by.

Summer's attention was entirely focused on Han, and she didn't even notice Xiu passing by.

however.

Just as their bodies passed each other.

It was as if an invisible electric current had instantly surged through Xiu and Han's spines.

The two stopped in their tracks at the same time.

A cold hatred that originates from the depths of one's blood and is etched into one's bones.

Like a volcano that has been dormant for thousands of years suddenly erupting, it swept away Xiu and Han's reason without warning.

It was a feeling of a fated enemy, a feeling that transcended personal will and was imprinted in one's genes.

Xiu turned around abruptly, his eyes turning icy cold, filled with vigilance and murderous intent.

Han turned around at the same time.

Her once cool and aloof eyes were now like frozen ice, so sharp they seemed to pierce the air.

Summer's pace was halted by the two suddenly stopping.

He turned around blankly and saw Xiu and Han like two icebergs about to erupt.

They stood facing each other, a few steps apart, locked in a fierce standoff.

An invisible pressure, suffocating and pervasive, filled the air.

He was completely dumbfounded, unable to understand why these two complete strangers would suddenly unleash such terrifying hostility.

Han slowly raised her hand, and the pair of thunder drumsticks that gleamed with a cold metallic light were already tightly gripped in her hand, crossed in front of her chest.

A faint, electric current pulsed at the tip of the drumstick, emitting a low hum.

The next second, his superpower index involuntarily surged.

【12356……19656……26459……30086】

Although Xiu did not reveal his weapon, all the muscles in his body were tense, and his superpower index also soared.

【14362……19342……25685……30095】

"Volleymsand, Urabaha!"

[Decorative Lightning Strike Technique]

Han muttered to himself, his voice cold and resolute.

As soon as the decorative lightning strike was unleashed, the thunder in her hand instantly burst forth with purple arcs of electricity.

Arcs of electricity leaped through the void, like lightning spirits imbued with life.

It moved nimbly through the air and arrived in front of Xiu in the blink of an eye.

Xiu dared not be careless and secretly took precautions.

Just then, the lightning arc suddenly exploded before Xiu's eyes, crackling like the roar of a giant beast.

The pungent smell of burning in the air made his heart tighten.

Xiu knew that although the opponent's attack seemed simple, the power it contained was not to be underestimated.

However, having fought demons for many years, he had an incredibly rich combat experience and quickly came up with a way to break the curse.

"Soaring cranes to capture dragons, woo-la-ba-ha!"

As Xiu finished speaking, a giant claw several meters long suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The giant claw instantly grabbed all the tiny arcs of electricity in the air and hurled them onto the open ground behind it.

Rumble!

A series of explosions rose and fell, like an endless war drumbeat, reverberating throughout the space.

Immediately afterwards, dust flew up and gravel flew everywhere.
