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

However, when she saw Tian Xin's combat power index of 307 points, the smile on her face instantly froze.

Tian Xin was also awakened by Xiao Ci's movements and slowly stopped practicing.

She naturally sensed Xiao Ci's weak combat power index as well.

Just as I was about to offer my congratulations, I saw the frozen, complex expression on Xiao Ci's face, a mixture of shock and disappointment.

"Xiao Ci, congratulations on successfully boosting your combat power index!"

Lan Tianyu spoke gently, trying to ease the tension.

But Xiao Ci remained frozen in place, clearly taken aback.

A ratio of 1 to 307 is indeed easily unbalanced.

"Your sister Xin's situation is rather special."

"Those 300 points were the result of accumulated experience, but the last 7 points are what she truly cultivated just now."

He tried to explain as clearly as possible, wanting to tell Xiao Citian that it wasn't a matter of overwhelming talent, but simply a difference in starting point.

However, this explanation did not reach Xiao Ci's ears.

Instead of offering comfort, it highlighted the despairing chasm between the two.

Okay, putting aside those 300 points, the remaining 7 points are enough to illustrate the point.

In the same amount of time, the other person improved seven times faster than me.

The difference is staggering!

I felt inexplicably inferior, and my nose started to sting.

She forced a smile, suppressing her turbulent emotions, and tried to make her voice sound cheerful:

"Uncle, I understand. I will work hard to cultivate in the future and try to catch up with Sister Tian Xin's progress."

But that smile looked somewhat forced and fragile.

Looking at Xiao Ci's forced smile, Tian Xin felt a pang of pity and reluctance.

She wanted to say something comforting, such as "You've done a great job," "Take your time," or "You're lucky."

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to carry a condescending attitude, which will only make Xiao Ci more upset.

【077】The Mountain of Flesh! The Slaughtering Demon Lord?

Tian Xin could only remain silent, casting a look of apology and encouragement at him.

The atmosphere in the living room became somewhat stagnant for a moment.

"Ahem!"

Lan Tianyu coughed lightly, breaking the silence, and pointed to the starry sky outside, saying:

"You've been cultivating for most of the day, you must be hungry by now."

"Let's go out for dinner. What do you want to eat? It's on me!"

The allure of delicious food temporarily dispelled the gloom in Xiao Ci's heart.

Only then did the two women belatedly realize that their stomachs were empty, and a strong feeling of hunger instantly overwhelmed them.

"it is good!"

"Ok!"

The two agreed in unison.

A sumptuous dinner was enjoyed at a well-regarded restaurant nearby.

Lan Tianyu deliberately ordered some dishes that Xiao Ciai would like to eat, in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere.

Tian Xin also tried to find some lighthearted topics.

Xiao Ci cooperated well, ate with relish, and a smile returned to her face.

However, the sense of loss and urgency deep in his eyes had not completely dissipated.

It was late at night when I got back to the apartment.

"Xiao Ci, remember to rest early. Cultivation also requires a balance between work and rest."

Lan Tianyu gave a word of advice.

"Well, I will."

Xiao Ci obediently said goodnight and went into her room.

Closing the door shuts out the outside world.

Xiao Ci leaned against the door, the forced smile on her face vanishing instantly, leaving only deep exhaustion and a trace of resentment.

She walked to her desk and looked at her somewhat pale face in the mirror.

"no!"

Xiao Ci clenched her little fist tightly, her nails almost digging into her palm.

"If I lack talent, I'll make up for it with hard work!"

"Uncle once said that diligence can make up for lack of talent, so I must catch up with Sister Tian Xin's progress and not let Uncle down!"

Xiao Ci stubbornly thought about it without considering whether she could catch up.

She took a quick shower to wash away her fatigue and changed into her pajamas.

However, instead of climbing into the soft bed as usual, she sat cross-legged on the sofa again.

Close your eyes, try to clear your mind of distractions, and enter a meditative state.

Since there's no turning back on the path we've chosen, let's grit our teeth and keep going with ten or a hundred times the effort.

Time passed quietly.

master bedroom.

Tian Xin nestled in Lan Tianyu's arms, listening to each other's steady heartbeats.

After a while.

A wisp of Yin and Yang energy was quietly born, half of which remained in Tian Xin's body, while the other half flowed back into Lan Tianyu's body.

"My dear, quickly circulate your internal energy and refine the qi within your body."

Lan Tianyu quickly spoke up to remind him.

"it is good."

Tian Xin readily complied and began to close her beautiful eyes to search for this so-called "qi".

It was found in no time.

Following the instructions, she channeled her energy to her dantian and began refining the yin and yang energies.

With more than ten attempts, Lan Tianyu quickly finished refining it.

In a few breaths, the wisp of Yin and Yang energy transformed into pure internal force, increasing both sides' combat power index by 200 points.

Tian Xin's combat power index has now reached 507 points.

If Xiao Ci next door saw this, her Dao heart would probably be shattered.

After all, those 200 points would require her to train hard for one or two months to achieve...

"Go to sleep, I still need to continue my cultivation later."

Lan Tianyu knew that Tian Xin had reached her limit, and gently stroked her long legs, which were clad in black, glossy stockings, around her waist.

"OK, good night."

Tian Xin nodded slightly, yawned a little, grabbed her lover's arm, and fell asleep.

Lan Tianyu reluctantly let go, mainly because the horse oil socks felt just too good.

However, a wise person avoids dangerous situations; right now, self-cultivation is more important.

He calmed his mind before circulating his internal energy to enter a meditative state.

The next day.

early morning.

Lan Tianyu slowly opened his eyes, and after calming himself down, he opened the system panel with a thought.

【Combat Power Index: 29410】

Compared to yesterday's 29150 points, this night of hard work and dedication has increased the combat power index by 260 points.

And in just two days at the latest, his basic combat power index will break through 30000 points.

Just as he was about to get up, his phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the screen, which displayed Wang Mali's name.

Lan Tianyu's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced quickly at Tian Xin in his arms, feeling guilty.

Fortunately, she was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes covering her eyelids, a satisfied smile on her lips, and she was not woken up.

He carefully pulled his right hand out of Tian Xin's embrace, and teleported out of the apartment with his phone in hand.

Before long, they arrived at a quiet, deserted alley corner.

At the same time, he pressed the answer button.

"Hey Mary, what's up?"

Lan Tianyu asked in a low voice.

"Tianyu, something terrible has happened!"

“A super scary monster has broken into our villa area.”

On the other end of the phone, Wang Mali's extremely anxious voice immediately came through.

"What monster?"

Lan Tianyu raised an eyebrow, alarm bells ringing in his mind.

As he asked the questions, he teleported to the villa where Wang Mali lived.

"How should I put it? Let's call it a mountain of flesh for now, because its five-meter-tall body is covered in fat, just like a mountain."

"Moreover, it goes berserk as soon as it appears, killing anyone it sees."

"Several bodyguards and security guards have already been torn to pieces by it!"

"In a little while, the terror will befall our family."

Wang Mali's voice was fast and urgent.

A mountain of meat?

Five meters high?

They still kill anyone they see?

Without a doubt, this description refers to a demon.

Only a demon could look so abstract and be so bloodthirsty.

I just don't know where this demon came from...

Could it be that the succubus Zi Yan came to take revenge the day before yesterday?

The idea had barely formed in his mind when he quickly rejected it.

Zi Yan doesn't know where Wang Mali lives, so how could she possibly seek revenge?

There must be a reason why this demon suddenly appeared.

But the specific reason might only be known once we capture the demon alive and extract information from it.

Just as he was thinking rapidly, a deafening bang suddenly came from the phone.
