Higan!
Tang Ling was already exhausted, but when he heard the commotion, he immediately sat up. He was anxious, worried, and eager as he looked at the little house where Higan was.
If he was not mistaken, Higan was about to break through.
After the strange commotion, Tang Ling sensed a rapid energy fluctuation. The energy fluctuation was not strong because it came from Higan herself, but it was very special.
However, the energy flow was very special. It was different from any natural energy flow that Tang Ling had observed. How should he describe it?
Tang Ling stared at the little house and recalled the time when he observed the energy flow of his enemies (human enemies) during the battle. A word popped up in his mind that he could not get rid of — agility.
It was agility!
A long time ago, Tang Ling realized that regardless of the energy structure in the outside world, once it was absorbed by a living being and converted into biological energy, the energy would be different, especially when it was absorbed by a human.
However, what exactly was the difference? Tang Ling had always been blurry because his spiritual eye was still at a low level. According to the theory of eye forging, he could only see the crudest energy.
It was like looking at a stream of water. He could only see the water itself, but he could not see what the water was made of, whether there were impurities, bubbles, or other components in the water.
However, this time, when Higan broke through, the energy that came from her body was very clear. Tang Ling finally felt the difference, but the difference was subtle. It was not something physical.
"Maybe there is, but I can't tell." Tang Ling dared not be sure at his current level, but he was sure that the energy was much more agility than natural energy!
What did agility mean? Tang Ling could not think about it because he was worried about Higan.
For example, why did the energy flow out of her body? Was the phenomenon a success or a failure?
Tang Ling realized that no matter how knowledgeable he was, he knew nothing about ascending.
He must not disturb her! Tang Ling still had the common sense.
However, at that moment, he realized that Higan's energy had stopped flowing out and turned into energy threads.
His spiritual eye had been tempered to a certain level, so even without purposely operating it, Tang Ling could sense it with his sixth sense.
What does this mean? Tang Ling somehow felt his skin go numb as if electric currents were running through his body.
This … seemed to be reminding him that what was going to happen next was extremely crucial.
Without a second thought, he activated his Spirit Eye, or Precise Instinct, again. Even though he was exhausted and it was a little strenuous, he could still see the energy lines on the other side.
The moment Tang Ling got a clear look at the energy threads, they started to move and almost instantly broke through some kind of barrier and flew towards the outside world.
"This is …!" Tang Ling widened his mouth in shock. Even though he was extremely exhausted, he started to circulate his spirit eye with all his might.
The energy threads were not swimming on their own …
There was an irresistible force that made one tremble that instantly pulled on the energy thread …
A path, a blurry path!
No matter how far it was, he couldn't touch it.
"Oh!" When the thought rose in his mind, he cried out in pain. He did not see the blurry path clearly. He followed his instinct and allowed his spirit to swim along the energy threads. He even forced his spirit to swim along with the energy threads.
However, after following it for a short while, Tang Ling sensed great danger. It was a core secret that he could not touch at the moment.
The secret was vast and indescribable. It was the universe, no, it even surpassed the universe.
The mystical feeling was indescribable! Tang Ling instantly felt insignificant, but it was not an unfamiliar feeling. Somehow, Tang Ling recalled the first time he took the Genetic Chain Test. When he entered the visualization state, he saw the dot and it exploded.
Back then, Tang Ling had the same feeling.
The difference was that it was his visualization state back then, but this time, it was the core that Higan was heading to.
Tang Ling did not know why he would think of the core that Higan wanted to go to, but in the next second, he had to close his swollen eyes and endure the pain as if his brain was being stirred by a stick. He covered his eyes and fell to the ground.
Traces of warmth flowed between his palms, and it was a little sticky. Without even looking, he knew that his eyes were bleeding from the stinging sensation he got from touching it.
He panted heavily and could not think straight.
Even so, Tang Ling knew that he was not purposely hurt. It was just that the path to the other side was further away. Be it the energy, the laws, or the unknown substances, none of them were something that he could touch with his current strength.
Like a taboo, touching it would mean death.
Time flew unknowingly. Tang Ling curled up on the ground and somehow fell into a coma.
Even though he could not think straight, a thought lingered in his mind. Did Higan break through?
**
It should be early spring at the top of the mountain.
It was already the end of summer at the foot of the mountain.
It was 6 am in the morning. The early autumn day was still warm and bright, but the horizon further away had a slight hint of redness.
The top of the mountain already had the chilliness of early spring, but Tang Ling felt warm. Even though he was unconscious, his swollen head slowly felt better because of the soft and warm pillow under his head.
A pillow? Why is there a pillow?
Tang Ling groaned in a muffled voice before he felt a cold liquid being poured into his mouth.
Tang Ling could already distinguish the taste of the liquid.
It was a little special, but it was not exactly disgusting. Tang Ling did not even have to think to know it was the taste of the spirit potion.
He had to admit that it was very comfortable to drink the spirit potion. His brain was surrounded by waves of coolness and it felt like a pair of soft hands were massaging him. All his senses were swiftly returning.
'It's such a waste though!' Tang Ling instinctively opened his eyes as the thought crossed his mind.
The fire was dancing. There was a thin blanket over him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Higan with a reproachful expression.
Even so, her expression was beautiful. Tang Ling was mesmerized by her expression.
Higan asked, "Why is cultivation like this?"
She did not forget how she wanted to share her breakthrough with Tang Ling right away, but when she walked out of the little house, she saw Tang Ling lying in the yard with his face covered in blood.
Fear, helplessness, panic … The space fragment that she thought was absolutely safe had hurt Tang Ling to this extent.
Then, she realized that Tang Ling was not hurt at all. It was just that the energy in his body was drained, and so was his spirit.
Due to her special ability, especially after the breakthrough, she could still clearly feel that Tang Ling's spirit seemed to have been impacted.
However, it was not a big deal. He could recover with some replenishment.
It was Tang Ling's enviable physique that was filled with vitality, but the shock was unforgettable.
Therefore, when Tang Ling opened his eyes, she could not help but reproach him.
Tang Ling did not answer her right away. Instead, he grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "You broke through, didn't you?"
As a matter of fact, the moment the question escaped his mouth, Tang Ling already felt the energy from Higan become denser and denser. Some parts of the energy were already different from when he was a pre-Purple Moon Warrior.
For example, it became more energetic and agile.
"Yes, I broke through." Higan was calm. Breaking through did not seem like a big deal to her. As long as Tang Ling was happy, everything would be fine.
It was then that Tang Ling realized he was using Higan's lap as a pillow.
Even though the two of them were very close and they had done this before, Tang Ling still felt his heart skip a beat and he felt shy.
He sat up with his legs crossed. "What stage are you at?"
"I reached the bottleneck of rank 1 and stopped." Higan rested her chin on her hand. Judging from her tone, she could have broken through to rank 2, but she chose not to.
What a pity! How could Higan not care?
Tang Ling's expression turned regretful and regretful, but he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Higan and asked seriously, "What do you think breaking through is? What … What did you see? "
Tang Ling remembered the energy that flowed out from Higan's body. It turned into energy threads that pierced through time and space and headed to a mysterious place!
Higan's eyes flashed with astonishment.
She did not think that Tang Ling's random question was strange because she realized that Tang Ling seemed to know what was going on.
"Breaking through is … No, I should say it's not a singular thing. I mean, it's not just a singular gene lock.
Of course, I'm not sure whether it's the same for others or not. There are many aspects that can be broken through, but it's only for individuals. "
Higan thought about it carefully. She wanted to describe the mysterious feeling to Tang Ling as clearly as she could. Tang Ling was going to break through soon, so she hoped that her experience would be helpful to him.
However, Higan was careful. Just like what she said, she already felt that the breakthroughs between people were very different. She was afraid that if she misspoke, Tang Ling would go down the wrong path again.
Tang Ling waved his hand, signaling her to stop. He furrowed his brows and started to think again.
A minute later, Tang Ling summarized what Higan said. "If one is talented enough, when breaking through the gene lock, one can also break through their natural talent or even something else?"
"I'm not sure, but it's probably the case. When I broke through, I entered a different world and saw another world, "Higan answered his second question.
"What kind of world?" Tang Ling thought of the energy threads.
"Their world isn't the whole world, but … compared to before, I saw a lot more. I saw a lot in an instant and built up some …" Higan tilted her head and did not continue because it was useless for Tang Ling to use as a reference.
As smart as Tang Ling was, he knew what Higan was talking about. The world that she was talking about was the virus, or the world of the beings that humans referred to as viruses.
It was interesting. Tang Ling had a vague guess in his mind. What was the so-called core of the virus? Maybe the core was related to the essence of the virus.
It was one of the lucky things that he had the Spirit Eye. How could a normal person come into contact with the secrets of the virus at this stage?
"What are you thinking about?" Higan looked at Tang Ling who was sitting cross-legged with his chin on his hand and tilting his head. She found it interesting, so she tilted her head to the same angle as Tang Ling.
"Higan, I didn't get hurt during cultivation." Tang Ling suddenly looked at her.
"Huh?" Higan was still in a daze.
"I saw the moment you entered that world. My eyes …" Tang Ling gestured. "I could vaguely see the space-time energy just now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see the energy threads."
"What are you talking about?" Higan was a little surprised. Regardless of how smart she was, she would not have thought about the energy threads when she broke through.
Tang Ling explained everything to Higan.
Higan was shocked.
"That's it. If I couldn't vaguely see the space-time energy, I wouldn't have been able to see it. I'm talking about the path that the energy threads took to that world. Actually, I don't even know whether it's a path or not. Maybe it's because we are here that … "Indeed, it was something that Tang Ling could not explain clearly.
However, in the next moment, Tang Ling's expression turned strange. "But I'm sure that because of this, I saw the path that led to your breakthrough. I know it's the path! If that's the case, the opportunity that the master of the deserted island left for us might come true soon. "
"That's great!" Higan grabbed Tang Ling's hand happily.
If he could get out, Tang Ling would no longer be trapped here. He should belong to the Purple Moon era and shine brightly. Higan could never forget the glimmer in Tang Ling's eyes that night.
The happiness suppressed all the disappointment and anxiety in her heart.
Tang Ling was curious when he saw how happy Higan was. "Do you really want to get out that much?"
"Of course I do." Higan smiled.
Tang Ling scratched his head in embarrassment. "But my vision is blurry. I need another chance."
"Then, when you break through." Higan did not care at all. She looked confident.
When he broke through? Would there be the same energy threads? Everyone's situation was different! Higan's talent was innately powerful, so it was reasonable for her to break through her talent when she broke through to the next rank.
As for himself, what was his talent? Was it his eyes?
Tang Ling was not confident.
However, Higan was strangely certain that she was not thinking about it anymore. She tugged his arm and said, "I'm hungry."
"Me? Cook? My face was covered in blood just now. "
"Hmm, you cook. I've been tired for three days. "

Boss Huang gave Han Xing a year's time.
In this year, Han Xing did not have to care about Liszt or any other geniuses. All he had to do was get close to or be on par with the figure in his heart.
It had been a month since then.
Han Xing seemed to have forgotten about his grudge against Liszt. He was no longer as sharp as before. He 'hid' himself and his team away from the world.
Even though Liszt was looking for all sorts of opportunities to step on Han Xing, he realized he did not know where to start.
Did Han Xing learn his lesson?
Liszt swirled the glass of red wine in his hand and took a sip. Mixing some of the top-grade energy liquid into the wine could more or less reduce the pain and cheer up his heart.
Liszt put the glass down. He looked like he had just drunk some energy liquid, and it was the top-grade kind.
Liszt thought he was getting more mature with patience and hard work.
"Is that all?" Liszt looked up and asked.
"Yes." Hank did not turn around. Instead, he fiddled with the fireplace to make the fire burn brighter.
The weather in Iron-Blooded City was extreme.
One could forget about spring and autumn in the city. The scorching heat of summer could be followed by winter in two to three days.
There was no division of seasons either, and the transition between summer and winter did not follow any particular pattern.
The only thing one knew was that the scorching heat of summer and winter would not last more than three months.
A month was enough to make the weather cold, but it did not matter.
Liszt was the number one in Starfire, so it was only natural that he had the best dormitory and other privileges.
Just like the room he was in, it was not only comfortable but also luxurious. It did not look like a room in a military camp, but more like a room for a vacation.
"Completing the mission and then training, not doing anything else. Wouldn't Han Xing be scarier? "Liszt's paranoia grew as he paced back and forth in the room.
"That might be possible." Hank lit the fire in the fireplace and sat comfortably on the carpet in front of the fireplace. He added, "But more than that, he doesn't want to be humiliated again and again, so he wants to accumulate some strength."
Liszt did not say anything. He walked to the window.
He pulled the curtains open. Snow was flying everywhere, and the training ground was covered in around 10 centimeters of snow.
It had only been snowing for a day, but it was already snowing at night. It seemed like they would have to clear the snow the next day, so Tang Ling decided to leave it to the Han Xing Squad.
Liszt had the privilege.
"Liszt." Hank suddenly called Liszt's name. After spending so much time together, he was the only one who had the right to call Liszt by his name.
"Hmm." Liszt looked at the falling snow without turning his head.
"You've already suppressed the Han Xing. Shouldn't you set your sights further and higher?" Hank stood up and went to the window as well.
"Focus?" Liszt pushed the window open. The cold wind and snow gushed into the room.
The liquid energy was burning in his body. Liszt wanted to feel the cold wind so that he could digest the liquid energy faster.
"You heard about it, right? Starfire is recruiting a new batch of soldiers. "Hank frowned slightly.
Since Liszt wanted to be the king, he should be there for him. Hank was used to Liszt being the number one in the past two and a half years. At least, no one in the same generation could suppress him.
"I don't care." Liszt looked up. "The only ones who should care are those who can enter the Nirvana Tower. And the best of these people can only be … "
Liszt was so sure, but before he could finish and before the worry on Hank's face faded away, the dark training ground suddenly lit up with incomparably bright lights!
