Chapter 85: Hengbei Iron Factory
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Bai, who had returned home, had been staying in the cultivation room.
He needed to wait patiently for the rebate contract to be triggered.
[Ding! Contract target Deng Chiye consumed a Heart Cleansing Pill. Obtained cultivation effect: Clear Qi, triggering a 30-times system rebate.] [Rebate reward: Cultivation Effect—Bright Dao Heart]
‘A cultivation effect?
‘Is it similar to the state of enlightenment on the Dao Ancestor Mountain?’
In the next second, Lin Bai realized that he had thought wrong.
The state of enlightenment allowed the cultivator to deepen their understanding and comprehension of their martial techniques, and then reach a deeper level.
As for the Bright Dao Heart, it worked on the cultivator himself.
It could allow the cultivator to enter a state of emptiness, speeding up the circulation of the cultivation technique, and at the same time, allowing the cultivator to understand their body more.
Lin Bai felt as if his thoughts had turned into a fish that had been released into the sea.
The things that he could not figure out in terms of cultivation gradually became clear.
The spiritual power that was flowing smoothly in his body became extremely smooth.
Combined with the Secret Order of Truth Returning.
Lin Bai could feel the threads of spiritual power contained in the air continuously gathering and slowly fusing into his body.
Clack…
Boom…
Accompanied by two sounds, one light and one heavy, Lin Bai’s body suddenly became light, and his body slowly floated up.
He did not notice that the True Dragon Mark hidden in the middle of his eyebrows had turned golden with the infusion of spiritual power.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Lin Bai found himself floating in the air.
“The bottleneck has been broken. Is this what it means to break through to the great martial master realm?”
When he was in the martial master state, Lin Bai could condense spiritual power blocks under his feet and indirectly reach the state of floating.
Despite that, this kind of levitation consumed too much spiritual power.
Now that he had broken through to be a great martial master, it was extremely easy for him to levitate.
“RoamingDragon Steps, Levitate, and Spiritual Power Blocks. If a grandmaster realm wants to capture me, he’ll probably have to use some special methods.”
In Lin Bail s mind, he kept practicing the various combinations of the martial arts techniques he had learned.
At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear. [Ding! System upgrade conditions met. Upgrading…] [Upgrade complete. New authority unlocked.]
‘The system has been upgraded?’
From the looks of it, breaking through to the rank of a martial master meant that his cultivation had entered a new stage. ‘System, what are the details of the new authority?’
Lin Bai muttered internally.
[Host, after the system upgrade is complete, the limit of the number of contracts that can be contracted must be completed within 30 minutes.]
[The number of contracts that can be contracted has been changed to stackable.]
[In addition, you can use up to six times the number of times the host can contract to perform a super contract. The reward will be a minimum of 100 times the reward and a maximum of 300 times the reward.”
Hiss…
Hearing the system’s introduction, Lin Bai could not help but gasp.
The lowest was 100 times, and the highest was 300 times!
‘If the contracted person absorbs 1 ton of fist force, I can directly obtain 300 tons. How terrifying is this?!
‘Even though it would cost him six times at once, it’ll still be a suitable deal!’ Lin Bai was excited.
Thinking of something, Lin Bai quickly asked, ‘System, I still have two contracts that haven’t been triggered. Can I cancel them now?’
[They can be canceled, but the number of times will be invalid.]
When Lin Bai heard this, he immediately dispelled the idea of canceling them.
Looking at the training room, Lin Bai shook his head. “I’m afraid the equipment here can’t withstand a single strike from me. I’ll go out and find a place to test my current strength!”
He did as he thought.
After telling his parents that he had something to do, Lin Bai dressed up and went out.
Outside the Central Garden community, a taxi stopped in front of Lin Bai.
“Master, the Hengbei Iron Factory.”
Rampage Base City was built in the early stages to plan the city properly.
Some large-scale enterprises, especially those that were heavily polluted, were placed at the edge of the city.
The Hengbei Iron Factory was a key enterprise in the early days of the base city.
At that time, the entire Hengbei area was bustling.
However, as time passed, the simple iron products were replaced by better alloy products.
In the end, the Hengbei Iron Factory went bankrupt, and the lives of the people in the northern region became more and more difficult.
Many ambitious youths chose to leave the North.
Gradually, the population of the Hengbei area decreased, and it was once called a ghost town.
Every taxi driver was an excellent talk show master.
The taxi driver who picked Lin Bai up was one of them.
From the moment Lin Bai got into the car, the driver had been talking non-stop for more than an hour.
Lin Bai was naturally very curious about the various strange things that happened in the city.
The taxi driver started chatting with Lin Bai without fear.
“Say, little brother, why are you thinking of going to the Hengbei Iron
Factory?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, you’re still a student, aren’t you? Anyone outside knows that the Hengbei
Iron Factory is haunted!”
“Haunted? Didn’t they say that there are no ghosts in this world?”
“Hey… Those were all fabricated by the higher-ups. Let me tell you, the Hengbei Iron Factory is very evil. The people living nearby are all skin and bones. If you look closely, they look like skeletons.”
“That’s quite scary!”
“Also, there’ll be ghost cries coming from the iron factory every once in a while. It’s terrifying!”
“Ghost cries? Didn’t the Martial Arts Association send someone to investigate?”
“They did, but the people who went in to investigate all disappeared
inexplicably. ”
“Disappeared?”
“Yeah, it’s said that there was no trace of a fight at the scene. The people just disappeared into thin air!”
“Hiss… That’s really scary!”
“That’s right. By the way, little brother, why are you going to the iron factory?”
“I have a classmate who lives there. I’m going to help him pack up today and move out tomorrow morning!”
“Yes, it’s good to move. That place is too evil. It’s good to move out as soon as possible!”
After bidding farewell to the driver, Lin Bai looked at the pitch-black Hengbei Iron Factory in the distance and slowly walked over.
Although the driver said that this place was haunted, Lin Bai was not prepared to change his destination.
He still believed that there were no ghosts in this world.
It was very likely that the rumors here were deliberately spread by someone.
Since there were only humans, Lin Bai was not afraid.
In the entire Hengbei City, only a few people from the Martial Arts Association had strength above a grandmaster.
As for those below the grandmaster level, Lin Bai was completely confident that he could easily deal with them.
Bam…
A soft sound rang out.
A transparent block of air appeared under Lin Bails feet.
With a light step, Lin Bai shot out like a sharp arrow.
Bam…
Bam…
The continuous sound of footsteps in the air spread in all directions.
Lin Bail s body flickered in the air like a ghost.
“The great martial master realm’s control over spiritual power is getting stronger and stronger. Judging from the current level of my control over spiritual power, the control over spiritual power in the grandmaster realm is probably at my fingertips!”
Lin Bai was constantly adapting to his new realm.
He was getting closer and closer to the Hengbei Iron Factory.
“That’s right. It’s very difficult for a peak great martial master to catch me just by dodging. ”
Lin Bai muttered with incomparable confidence.
Clang…
‘Someone is there!’
Lin Bai suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice..
