It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Chapter 78 The Girl and the Supernatural (10,000-word update, please vote and subscribe)

No wonder my kidneys hurt for so long; it wasn't that my superpowers weren't working, but rather my great-grandmother. Even though I was thousands of miles away, she could drain my life force and energy with ease. Is the range of Wi-Fi really that far?

The temple where people were being attacked. My great-grandmother is still my great-grandmother.

Li Xianyu silently covered her face.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing breathing exercises. The central air conditioner on the left wall blew cool air, and its built-in air purifier filtered out toxic smog from the atmosphere, allowing the bloodline members to practice breathing exercises with peace of mind.

A moment later, an arc of electricity flashed across his body, and more arcs of electricity coursed through his body, crackling and popping, flashing and disappearing. After a few minutes, the arcs stopped popping up.

This is the thunder magic taught to him by the Thunder King, derived from the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of the Zhengyi Sect, and is one of the Five Thunders of Shenxiao. The Five Thunders originate from the five internal organs, and are the energy generated by the interaction of Yin and Yang in the internal organs.

It is said that those who have achieved great success in cultivation can communicate with nature and summon heavenly thunder.

Ordinary people who cultivate thunder magic must first temper the energy of their five internal organs and generate electricity through their bodies before they can communicate with heaven and earth and summon thunder and lightning. However, awakened beings of the electric system like the Thunder King skip the beginner's village and can easily generate electricity through their bodies. After a few years of cultivation, they can summon thunder.

For a novice like Li Xianyu, the amount of electricity he has is probably only equivalent to the stun gun on a lighter.

Li Xianyu learned many unique skills today, including the Thunder King's thunder magic, Kato Taka's finger techniques, Fire-Breathing Kid's fire control techniques, Thunder War Maiden's lightning tactics, Girl Killer's monkey-style intelligent reduction techniques, Long Aotian's complete guide to breaking illusions, Nightmare's mental power cultivation posture, Vajra's hand-to-hand combat techniques, and so on.

Almost every colleague trapped in Long Aotian's virtual world expressed their gratitude in some way; some taught him special skills, while others gave him points. Fearing Li Xianyu might forget, they thoughtfully uploaded the cultivation methods and illustrations to their cloud drive and shared them with him, so he could easily take out his phone to learn whenever he wanted.

However, these unique skills are too exclusive. Take lightning magic for example; Li Xianyu isn't an electric-type awakener, so his progress in learning lightning magic is very slow. The same applies to other unique skills. The most outrageous one is a skill that wants to teach Li Xianyu "scent to recognize a beauty."

That guy's ability is similar to Ryder's from the Superpower Association; it's a reconnaissance ability. He has an extremely developed sense of smell, able to detect scents from very, very far away, even more sensitive than a dog's nose.

He pulled Li Xianyu to a corner, pointed at the pretty receptionist, and said, "What do you smell on her?"

Li Xianyu replied, "It smells like perfume."

The guy shook his head: "No, I smell sugar."

"What kind of candy?"

"You don't need to know what kind of candy it is."

He didn't say it explicitly, but Li Xianyu understood. No wonder this guy, despite his mediocre combat skills, was in the law enforcement department; his intuition was even better than radar on the battlefield.

Then Li Xianyu obtained a mental cultivation method for the nasal orifices. When he reached a high level of Qi cultivation, all six senses became extremely sharp, including the nasal orifices. The guy gave Li Xianyu a shortcut to cultivating the nasal orifices, which he summarized himself. It did not require a very deep level of Qi cultivation to open the nasal orifices.

This is indeed a very useful technique for beginners.

Li Xianyu practiced the Thunder Technique once, and his muscles were paralyzed, but his strength and bone strength increased. The Thunder Technique could temper cells and achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

"After awakening, my physical fitness and strength have been increasing, which in turn drives my internal energy. However, my natural talent for cultivating internal energy is a bit lacking. Rather than wasting time meditating, I might as well go to the gym to train my physique, which will indirectly help me cultivate internal energy."

Li Xianyu's current cultivation level is far from being considered a master, but he is a pay-to-win player with three exclusive magical artifacts. Combined with his self-healing ability, he has already surpassed the average junior employee and can even hold his own against intermediate employees.

By evening, it was still early before dinner time, and Li Xianyu was starving, so he ate and drank to his heart's content. Eating alone was a bit lonely, but it would be so much better if his great-grandmother were there. Even though it wasn't mealtime, as long as there was something delicious, no matter when or where, his great-grandmother would be happy to eat with him until the end of time.

After finishing her meal, Li Xianyu was about to ask Thunder Warrior for a coffee when she received a message from her roommate Huang Yicong: "Li Xianyu, where have you been? You haven't been to school for over half a month, and I haven't heard that you were expelled."

Li Xianyu replied, "Just consider it as me taking a leave of absence from school. I'm off to do something big."

Huang Yicong: "Fuck your great-grandmother, what big deal could you possibly have?"

You think I won't get my great-grandmother to beat you to death?

Li Xianyu replied: "A fish left in a dried-up rut will wither and die soon. If a person has no ambition, how is he any different from that fish?"

Wong Yat-chung: "Speak like a human being."

Li Xianyu didn't answer, but asked, "What is it?"

Huang Yicong: "We had a dorm dinner tonight, and then we played games. It's been a long time since we've played together."

Training has been too tough lately, it's good to take a break. Li Xianyu replied, "Okay, shall we meet at the school gate?"

18:50 PM, typing is too tiring, I'll play a few games to relax...

20:30 PM, damn it, I absolutely have to win this game...

PM: 22:40 PM, damn it, it's already this late. I'm not updating anymore, back to the game...

Li Xianyu suddenly remembered seeing a certain writer's Weibo post, and silently covered his face, having a bad feeling that he would fall into the same trap again, just like the writer had done.

It's only the beginning of the month. I need to focus on my training this month. I'll only get two days off at most. If anyone asks me to play games again, I definitely won't go. He made this decision to himself.

Leaving the company, it was rush hour, with dense traffic and crowds of people. Men carried backpacks, women carried handbags, and traffic lights were packed with people. Taking the subway at this time was the most grueling. You needed to be at your physical and agile limit, otherwise you could forget about getting a seat on the subway.

If you accidentally select the defense option, it's not a bad deal; at least it ensures you won't be squeezed out of the carriage and poop.

Before university, Li Xianyu, a local dog, had his adoptive father's car pick him up and drop him off at school. After university, because he lived close to the school, he never experienced the feeling of standing for an hour in a crowded train carriage, only to be approached by a beautiful girl with a great figure, and then getting angry and telling her to "get lost".

At this time, taking the subway is obviously more efficient than taking a taxi or bus. The company is quite far from the university, about a 40-minute subway ride away.

Li Xianyu drifted along in the carriage, leaning in whichever direction everyone else was leaning. If there were young ladies or girls around, he could even enjoy some perks. Forty minutes later, when they arrived at their stop, he didn't feel tired at all. Suddenly, he realized that he was no longer the person he used to be.

I didn't see my roommates at the school gate, so I called them and found out they had already booked a private room and ordered food at a Hunan restaurant in the university town.

That was their go-to restaurant for dorm gatherings. It was cheap, affordable for students, nicely decorated, and had a spicy flavor.

When Li Xianyu pushed open the door to the private room, there were six people sitting in the small room: three roommates and three girls. Li Xianyu only recognized one of them, Zhao Yi's girlfriend, whose surname was Zhang, but he forgot her exact name.

When Li Xianyu entered, the girls present secretly brightened up.

Li Xianyu is handsome with fair skin. After awakening, his energy and spirit reached their peak, and he was radiant. Naturally, women would be attracted to him.

"Where have you been for the past two weeks?" Single guy Yang Guangtai's eyes widened. "Did you go to Thailand?"

Zhao Yi kept waving at him: "We've been waiting for you. It's been so long since you came to school. It's not a big deal."

My roommates didn't deliberately bring up the girls' restroom issue, as it wasn't something to be proud of, even though it seemed incredibly nice to the guys, since there were girls present.

Huang Yicong ignored Li Xianyu. He sat there blankly, his pupils unfocused, his face ashen, looking completely drained.

Li Xianyu slapped him hard on the shoulder, and the latter trembled as if he had been greatly frightened. After seeing Li Xianyu, he breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Take care of your health." With outsiders present, Li Xianyu couldn't say anything. You can disregard a man's dignity, but you must respect his health.

Once everyone was present, the waiter began serving the dishes.

Zhao Yi, who organized the dinner, introduced two girls to Li Xianyu. The first girl, Wang Mengmeng, had a cute, round face and big, bright eyes; Li Xianyu gave her a six out of ten. The other girl was of average appearance, with long hair, but had a good temperament.

The men drank alcohol, the women drank soft drinks. Zhao Yi put his arm around Li Xianyu's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "You and Guangtai are the only two in our dorm without girlfriends, comrade, you're dragging the group down. I found you a really hot girl, the round-faced girl on the left is my girlfriend's best friend, she comes from a good family. You don't have a girlfriend yet, how about we give it a try?"

It turned out to be a matchmaking event?

Zhao Yi is a rich second-generation heir. When he first enrolled, he was incredibly arrogant, boasting that his father had tens of millions in assets. His businesses have been doing well these past few years, so his assets are likely even greater. Aside from his spoiled attitude and sometimes arrogance that makes you want to punch him, he's a decent person, generous and kind.

Li Xianyu glanced at the round-faced girl and said, "Guangtai clearly has a crush on her."

Zhao Yi said irritably, "Guangtai has no chance, and the other one is also in doubt. Why are women so picky these days? They're just average-looking, but they're always thinking about tall, handsome oppas."

Li Xianyu laughed and said, "You can help Guangtai find a girlfriend, but I'll pass. I don't plan on finding one."

I've seen so many beautiful women lately, each one stunningly beautiful, that I'm really getting tired of them.

Zhao Yi scoffed: "You don't have to have a girlfriend to be friends with someone from all over Jiangling."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean."

"You're even better than me, why don't you be my friend instead?"

"I agree, but my girlfriend disagrees."

Yang Guangtai raised a glass of wine and came over: "What are you two whispering about? Li Xianyu, let's drink!"

He was drinking extravagantly today; everyone knows, he had a beautiful woman by his side.

After a few drinks, Yang Guangtai said, "I haven't seen you playing games, and you haven't come to school either. Where have you been?"

Li Xianyu said, half-jokingly, "I went to catch ghosts."

Zhao Yi laughed and scolded, "How come you weren't drained dry by the female ghost?"

Li Xianyu thought to himself, with my great-grandmother around, how could a female ghost possibly get a chance?

"Didn't a girl commit suicide in the toilet at your school a while ago? That toilet is haunted," said Chen Lingjiao, who has long hair. "I heard Huihui mention it."

"That's just womanly talk; she gossips about these things all day long." Zhao Yi rolled his eyes.

"Didn't you say that yourself?" Zhang Hui protested.

"You still dare to talk." Afraid that she would bring up Li Xianyu's embarrassing secrets, Zhao Yi glared at his girlfriend: "What nonsense is there?"

"How do you know for sure there isn't?" Wang Mengmeng, with her round face, glanced at Li Xianyu. Seeing that he was looking at her, she quietly straightened her back and corrected her posture: "I've also encountered paranormal events."

"Are you going to make up a story?" Zhao Yi teased.

"No, that's not true," Wang Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him. "What I said is true, but of course, I can't be sure if it's really a paranormal event."
