Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Uncle Nine strode over to Four-Eyes' side, looking at the vortex of spiritual energy gathering above his head, his expression grave. "His breakthrough was too sudden. The concentration of spiritual energy around him isn't enough. At this rate of consumption, he probably won't even break through the bottleneck before the spiritual energy runs out!"

He turned and walked out, reluctantly taking out several blue talismans from his pocket and sticking one on the ground at each of the four corners of the main hall and on the doorway.

"Heaven and earth are dark and yellow, spiritual energy returns to its source. Gather spiritual energy into an array to aid my fellow disciples! So be it!"

The six talismans simultaneously emitted a burst of spiritual light, causing the concentration of spiritual energy in the main hall to surge several times over.

The spiritual energy drawn in by Uncle Nine seemed to have found an outlet, surging wildly around Four Eyes and forming a visible milky-white halo on his body.

Si Mu was jolted, the pain on his face lessened somewhat, and his breakthrough speed noticeably increased.

"It's done!" Uncle Nine breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the crowd outside the main hall and said in a deep voice, "Your Uncle Four-Eyes is at a crucial moment in his breakthrough and cannot be disturbed. All of you stay outside and guard this place; not even a fly is allowed in!"

"yes!"

Everyone agreed at the same time and stood guard outside the door with solemn expressions. Even Wen Cai, who was usually unreliable, obediently stood guard outside the door!

The commotion at the mortuary went far beyond that. In the main hall, the aura of the Four Eyes' breakthrough was so strong that even the ancestral tablets on the offering table reacted.

A faint golden light emanated from the tablet of the Three Mao Ancestors in the very center. The light condensed into an extremely thin thread of light, which quietly entered the space between the eyebrows of the four eyes.

The moment the ancestral master's spiritual light entered his body, the aura around Si Mu suddenly surged!

Upon seeing this, Uncle Nine was overjoyed: "It's the Grandmaster! I never expected the Grandmaster to be protecting him!"

The pale golden aura enveloped Si Mu like a protective shield, isolating him from all external impurities and leaving only the purest spiritual energy for him to absorb and refine.

Si Mu's breakthrough momentum became even more ferocious. The spiritual energy vortex above his head almost solidified, drawing in all the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles.

Seven days passed, and Si Mu's cultivation level still hadn't broken through. But just then, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in Uncle Jiu's heart.

To be on the safe side, Uncle Nine instructed everyone to keep watch, and then returned to his room to retrieve his magical artifact.

"Uncle-Master, what's going on...?" Lin Bei asked in confusion.

"I don't know why, but I always have this uneasy feeling inside!"

Lin Bei felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this. Uncle Jiu was a powerful geomancer; his intuition wouldn't appear out of nowhere!

In the main hall, Si Mu had been stuck at the mid-stage of the Human Master realm for many years. With his inner knot untied, his years of accumulated power burst forth, and his vast magical power violently impacted his bottleneck.

Inside the dantian, the barrier of the mid-stage Human Master was getting thinner and thinner under the repeated impact of magic power, and cracks gradually appeared.

"break!"

The four eyes circulated their cultivation technique, guiding the ancestral spiritual light into their dantian, merging it with their own magical power. Then, with a burst of energy, they charged fiercely towards the final barrier of that bottleneck!

boom!

A dull thud came from within Si Mu's body, and the barrier shattered completely.

A surge of immense magical power erupted from the depths of his dantian, spreading throughout his body along his meridians and dramatically increasing his aura.

Four Eyes' face flushed red at first, then slowly returned to normal, and his breathing gradually became steady, leaving only the dense spiritual light around his body still slowly flowing.

At this point, Si Mu's cultivation officially broke through to the late stage of the Human Master realm!

Upon seeing Si Mu break through, Uncle Nine was overjoyed, and at the same time, his guard was slightly relaxed.

Si Mu had just broken through, and the surging magical power within his body was still surging and flowing, requiring some time to stabilize his realm.

At this time, one must not be disturbed, otherwise it will cause instability in one's cultivation and cause one to regress, which would be a great loss!

Before the people in the mortuary could even breathe a sigh of relief, dozens of miles away in a dark corner, a pair of blood-red eyes peered through the night toward the mortuary.

After Liu Santong possessed the green zombie, he went on a killing spree, attacking and killing stray civilians in the surrounding area. After drinking the blood of dozens of people, Liu Santong finally broke through to the purple zombie realm.

Not only that, he turned dozens of civilians into zombies, and they were all in the realm of black zombies and green zombies!

At this moment, these dozens of black and green zombies, each exuding a strong aura of death and violence, surrounded Liu Santong in the middle, arranged neatly like a small zombie army.

Liu Santong's face darkened as he sensed the breakthrough aura emanating from afar. A hint of resentment and apprehension flashed in his eyes: "Maoshan Lin Jiu... and that Lin Bei... I won't let you get away with this!"

He sneered, his figure disappearing into the night like black smoke, heading towards Renjia Town.

After he left, the zombies all turned around and hopped away towards Renjia Town.

Night has fallen!

In Renjia Town, the hustle and bustle of early evening had long since faded, leaving only a few dim oil lamps still lit on the streets.

In a tavern facing the street, Awei was sitting in a corner, drinking alone. There were seven or eight empty wine jugs on the table, and he was completely drunk.

During the day, he went to see Ren Tingting again, wanting to confess his feelings to her, but before he could finish speaking, Ren Tingting publicly berated him.

"Awei! Stop bothering me! I don't like you! Forget about it!"

"To put it nicely, I call you cousin; to put it bluntly... what right do you have to curry favor with the Ren family?"

"Don't think I don't know you're after the Ren family's fortune. Stop pretending to be so devoted in front of me!"

"With your character—lustful, cowardly, weak, and irresponsible—why should I marry you? Look in the mirror and see if you're even worthy!"

Ah Wei was thoroughly scolded and slunk out of the Ren residence, so angry that he didn't even eat all day.

He sat in the tavern, downing one drink after another, exuding an air of decadence.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, several security guards gathered across the table and tried to comfort him.

"Captain, don't overthink it. What's so great about Ren Tingting? She just has a few stinking bucks."

"Exactly! That little wench, what does she have besides being pretty? Captain, with your abilities, what kind of person can't you find?"

"That's right! Women are hard to find, but two-legged women are everywhere! Captain, try to think more positively!"

"Let's go! The brothers are treating tonight. Let's take the captain to a brothel to relax! I guarantee she'll be a hundred times gentler than that Ren Tingting!"

One of the underlings leaned close to Awei and whispered with a chuckle, "Captain, if you ask me, you shouldn't have confessed at all. Just go ahead and make it a done deal. You wouldn't have to worry about her not giving in, would you?"

"That's right, hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter!

Awei was moved by those words and was half-heartedly helped up and led towards the brothel.

As the security guards walked, they continued to complain about Ren Tingting, which made Awei smile again.
