In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 57, Killing Gao Ming

station.

As Lin Ran stepped out of the enlightenment room, a peculiar fragrance wafted towards her, and her eyes were met with conservative nun's clothes and a figure with a completely opposite style.

Nangong Yu was slightly taken aback when he saw Lin Ran, then smiled, placed his hands on his chest, and said softly,

"Captain, may the God of Light protect you."

"……good."

Lin Ran's lips twitched, and she couldn't think of a response for a moment, so she changed the subject.

"Did Lin Sheng send a message?"

"It happens every day, in the security room on the first floor."

"it is good."

"Captain, have you broken through?"

"right."

Lin Ran released her aura, glanced at Nangong Yu, and then went downstairs.

Nangong Yu paused for a moment, chuckled, and walked into his enlightenment room.

First floor, security room.

A flash of white light appeared in Lin Ran's eyes, and his mental power spread out from between his eyebrows, enveloping the ten information crystals and reading the information inside them.

The progress of spiritual cultivation is the same as that of spiritual energy cultivation. However, because spiritual energy is ethereal and difficult to detect, the Alliance has raised the lower limit of cultivation to mid-level Awakened to prevent talented individuals from wasting a lot of time in the early stages.

The overlapping information is updated to the latest time and finally compiled into a list.

Clues have been discovered for Trist, the son of the wolf god, and Gao Ming, the three beings.

Lin Ran's lips curled into a smile; it was his turn to take revenge!

Then, considering the choice of personnel, Nangong Yu had not yet broken through to the mid-level Awakener, but he was close.

He scanned the area with his mental energy to assess the residual spiritual energy in the corridor.

Besides him, there were five people in the team, two of whom were cat people.

There was only the aura of a mid-level Awakened.

Sword Exquisite!

Lin Ran took out the communication crystal and spoke in the team channel.

"Jian Linglong, Zhou Yu, follow me on this mission. The rest of you, continue your cultivation and, while ensuring your basic skills are up to par, advance to the intermediate level of Awakened as soon as possible."

Soon after, Jian Linglong and Zhou Yu came downstairs.

Jian Linglong, carrying a long sword, changed into a gray tracksuit for easy movement. Upon closer inspection, the tracksuit had a spiritual aura flowing on its surface, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary garment.

Zhou Yu was still covered by a black cloak, her expression sleepy and lacking any liveliness, making her easy to overlook.

"Walk."

Lin Ran waved his hand and led the two onto the floating vehicle that Lin Sheng had prepared.

The hovercar has intelligent programming, conserves spiritual energy, and is quite fast. Most importantly, mid-level Awakened Ones can fly on their own, so even if the hovercar is destroyed, they won't die from the fall. Lower-level Awakened Ones, on the other hand, cannot.

Only Lin Ran and two others were in the car; Lin Sheng was not with them.

Lin Ran opened the terminal to display,

"The target of this mission is Gao Ming of the cat people. He and Yun Zhu Meng Yu are not on the same path. He is now at the second level. Yesterday's activity area was these places."

"Once we get to the location, Zhou Yu, you'll be in charge of tracking. Jian Linglong and I will handle any trouble."

"Being skilled is not a top-tier talent, and the probability of having a protector is not high, but we cannot be careless. These are some basic pieces of information."

Jian Linglong said, "I know Gaoming. It doesn't have a protector, but it's probably with other cat people who have even stronger talents."

"Ignore the other cat-people, only kill Gao Ming."

"Okay." *2

……

Twenty minutes later, the hovercraft reached the edge of the activity area.

The three of them got off the train and stood in mid-air. Lin Ran put the car into her storage ring.

Zhou Yu closed her eyes, her pale hands extending from her cloak, making strange hand gestures.

Jian Linglong gripped the hilt of her sword, and her sword energy covered an area of ​​a hundred meters in radius.

Lin Ran looked around and saw that everything within her sight was within the attack range.

Less than half a minute.

Zhou Yu opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "This direction."

The three flew at low altitude and within ten minutes they sensed the presence of numerous cat-people.

The other side noticed them and immediately took action.

Four second-tier cat-people flew into the air and approached the three, while the remaining first-tier cat-people quickly moved away.

Lin Ran's gaze swept across the area, locking onto Gao Ming's aura.

I just felt...so weak.

Could it be a counterfeit product?

Upon meeting, Gao Ming's expression changed, sensing a crisis emanating from the depths of his soul.

Zhou Yu suddenly opened her mouth and uttered strange syllables.

"Curse!"

Lin Ran immediately felt her body strengthened, Jian Linglong's sword energy surged, and at the same time the aura of the cat people opposite her decreased.

"Cursed Soul!"

The mind becomes clearer, and thinking speed increases.

The eyes of the four cat-people became dull, and their spiritual energy became chaotic.

"superior!"

Lin Ran stopped Zhou Yu's third spell and locked onto the two cat-people.

Eye Technique: Instant Slash!

Pfft! Pfft!

As expected, the heads of the two cat-people flew off, their bodies were split in two, then in four, and they died completely.

Jian Linglong remained stationary, her sword energy locking onto the other two cat-men. With a seemingly ordinary swing of her longsword, two streams of sword energy surged into the cat-men's bodies.

boom!boom!

The two cat-men's bodies exploded on the spot, turning into countless blood mists, leaving only their two heads falling to the ground.

Lin Ran gazed into the distance, where all she could see were cat-people fleeing at breakneck speed; they were all within her sight.

A few seconds later, Lin Ran looked away, and a dozen storage rings appeared in her palm.

With a sweep of his mental energy, he quickly calculated the total amount of resources, divided them into three parts, and handed two of them to Jian Linglong and Zhou Yu.

He casually ruffled Zhou Yu's hair and took out the hovercar.

Having a support is so great!

"Well done! Let's get out of here."

Zhou Yu: ...

Are you serious about that?!

The hovercar sped away.

……

inside the car.

Jian Linglong asked Lin Ran in confusion,

"Is it really the target?"

"Indeed, but I didn't expect it to be this weak. Zhou Yu's increase exceeded expectations."

Lin Ran was also a little confused. Did the first mission end so smoothly?

Zhou Yu, who had been silent, finally spoke, her voice sounding even hoarser.

"Captain, according to the cursed ones' patterns, we're bound to encounter something bad on the way back."

"In that case... I'll go to the roof to keep watch, you guys drive."

Lin Ran immediately opened the car door, sat down on the roof, and covered the surface of the floating car with her mental energy.

He applied for this hovercraft, and he'll have to pay for it if it breaks down!

inside the car.

Zhou Yu and Jian Linglong looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but say, "Captain, we can actually observe from inside the car too."

"The view from the roof is wider, but you'll have to pay for it if the car breaks down," Lin Ran's voice came from the roof.

Jian Linglong: ...

Zhou Yu: ...

The return route is different from the way we came; to avoid any ambushes, we will take a detour back.

It will take about thirty minutes to reach Base No. 3.

Lin Ran glanced around from time to time. Since this was the first time she had taken precautions against the bad things Zhou Yu had mentioned, she naturally had to be extra careful.

Time passed, around the twenty-fifth minute.

Lin Ran's eyes narrowed as she saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching in the distance.

Ahead of the dark figure were several second-tier awakened individuals fleeing in disarray.

He tapped on the roof of the car.

"Zhou Yu, Jian Linglong, here's a job."

The two climbed onto the roof of the vehicle, which quickly came to a stop and was retrieved by Lin Ran.

The three faced a shadowy figure with a wide area of ​​effect. The floating vehicle and their speed made it impossible to avoid it; they could only deal with it.

Zhou Yu observed for a while and then said:

"It's a swarm of black bees, a social creature found in the battlefield of the heavens. A single swarm has at least a million black bees, and the queen bee will follow the swarm. Ten black bees can poison a lower-level awakened being."

"When the queen bee dies, the guard bee will become the new queen bee, killing all the queen bees and guard bees. The remaining black bees will disperse on their own."

"Okay, let's get started."
