Ren Baqian received the intelligence report with a gloomy expression.
There weren't many changes in the purge of the Thunder Barbarians' village. The village was destroyed, and the chief of the Thunder Barbarians was killed.
Even the sudden appearance of the Eight-Armed Race wouldn't change the overall situation. After all, they were the elites of the entire human race. If they couldn't even destroy two foreign race villages, the human race could forget about going back.
One Spirit Wheel expert and one Cardinal Heaven expert each died, and six were seriously injured. The main casualties were at the hands of the chief of the Eight-Armed Race.
More than 60 Kismet Heaven experts died, and nearly 100 were seriously injured.
These losses were bearable. The chief of the Eight-Armed Race didn't manage to escape and died of exhaustion.
The most troublesome thing was that the Eight-Armed Race had scattered their people in advance. Although the aboriginals had killed a group of them, no one knew if there were any who had escaped.
If there were any who had escaped, the human race might have to face the foreign races in advance.
As for the time, it depended on how long it took for the news to travel from the depths of the Sixty Thousand Mountains to the foreign races.
It was said that the world outside the Sixty Thousand Mountains was several times larger than the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
Ren Baqian estimated that it would take at most 20 years for the other party to respond and send people over. At the very least, it would only take a few years before they would have to face the foreign races.
Time was too short …
He originally estimated that it would take more than 100 years.
Now, he could only plan ahead. First, he would let people pass through the Sixty Thousand Mountains, find suitable hiding places, and let some of the experts go there to improve their strength as much as possible.
Next, he would have to improve the level of technology as soon as possible and develop more powerful weapons.
In addition, the appearance of the Eight-Armed Race gave him some guesses about the strength of the foreign races.
Arms were the biggest distinguishing feature of this race.
Ordinary people with two arms were at the Kismet Heaven level, those with four arms were at the Cardinal Heaven level, and those with six arms were at the same level as Li Fu.
The aboriginals called it Longevity Heaven.
If it had eight arms, then it must be a level higher than that.
It was hard to estimate how strong they were.
After all, even Li Fu had only just entered the Heaven and Earth level, and the strongest foreign races he had seen were only the chiefs of two small villages.
This was the land of exile. Even if the foreign races weren't in the land of exile, they were at least on the periphery. There was no standard to measure how powerful the experts in the outside world were.
With the empress's strength, even if she couldn't take on an entire army by herself, she could at least take the head of an enemy general from a million-strong army.
In other words, if the Outsiders attacked, the higher-ups of the human race wouldn't be able to resist at all.
At the very least, one of them must be at least one level stronger than the Longevity Heaven or the Heaven Creation Earth Region.
There were only two people who could achieve that in such a short period of time.
The empress and Li Yuanzhu!
Thunder rumbled in the sky outside. Heavy rain poured down, and the sky became even darker.
However, Ren Baqian, who was in the room, wasn't affected much.
After pondering for a moment, Ren Baqian took the umbrella and returned to his bedroom. Halfway there, his lower body was drenched.
The empress wasn't watching the television series. Instead, she was reading a book attentively.
The empress had also seen the report that Ren Baqian had seen.
Ren Baqian felt rather gratified as long as the empress worked hard. Even if the empress slept, her strength would increase. As long as she put in some effort, there would still be hope for the human race.
Without disturbing the empress from reading, Ren Baqian walked to the back of the empress and took a glance at the pictures in the book.
He reached out to take the book and looked at the cover: [36 Skills of Rope Techniques]
Ren Baqian was deep in thought. He flipped the book from cover to cover, looked at the empress, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
"You will know tonight!" The empress glanced at him charmingly.
Ren Baqian opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "Your Majesty, is this the time to read this?"
"I will be able to break through in half a year!" the empress said faintly. "You will need at least another 10 years to reach the Spirit Wheel level. Do you know what this means? "
Ren Baqian looked embarrassed and said, "It means that you will be a widow for 10 years!"
"Pfft!" The empress spat at him and stretched, showing off her perfect curves. "That [Dual Cultivation] technique is indeed beneficial. Otherwise, how could you have reached the advanced level of the Earth Wheel level so quickly? It's the same for me. Although I have been suppressing it and haven't broken through, my essence blood has become more condensed.
I won't be able to suppress it for another half a year. Take advantage of this time to do [Dual Cultivation] again. After that, it will be up to you. "
Ren Baqian was speechless. In fact, he had benefited a lot more than the empress. After every pair cultivation session, he would receive a surge of vital energy that would wash through every cell in his body. This energy would then be stored in every part of his body for his needs during cultivation.
Otherwise, it would be good if he could reach the advanced level of the Earth Wheel level in another 10 years.
This was why the empress had been suppressing her strength.
"But what does it have to do with this?" Ren Baqian patted the [36 Skills of Rope Techniques] in his hand.
He could understand why the empress was suppressing her strength and [Dual Cultivation].
However, what did it have to do with this thing?
"It can make me happy!" The empress got up and poked his cheek with her finger. "It's very important for me to be happy!"
"The future is too dangerous, and you are too weak. Therefore, from today onwards, you will have to undergo special training."
Ren Baqian scratched his bald head. Special training again. His focus was no longer on the [36 Skills of Rope Techniques].
He had been beaten up by Tong Lan for several years. He had just relaxed for two years, and it was starting again?
Who was his opponent this time?
"[Dual Cultivation] once every seven days from now on!"
Ren Baqian almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
[Dual Cultivation] once every seven days? Seven days at a time? Is this your special training, Your Majesty?
"Your Majesty, haste makes waste!" Ren Baqian immediately said righteously. "I feel that once a month is enough for me to improve."
"You need special training! I said it! "
…
[Dual Cultivation] once every seven days was just something the empress said.
According to the condition of Ren Baqian's body, the recommendation given by the medical bureau was to have [Dual Cultivation] once every 10 days. Furthermore, it required a large amount of precious herbs to barely support Ren Baqian's body.
For the next six months, Ren Baqian had been undergoing special training. Every seven days, he could only drag his weak body to deal with various matters like a tuberculosis patient.
Even with the nourishment of various precious herbs, Ren Baqian's weight visibly decreased.
He had dropped from more than 150 kilograms to 150 kilograms.
One had to know that Ren Baqian's skeleton was much bigger than before. His entire body was filled with muscles. At 150 kilograms, Ren Baqian's body was like fine steel. Every bit of impurities had been completely removed, and his skin and muscles were more compact.
His body's defense had increased by more than one level.
His body had accumulated a large amount of essence energy, and every cell was filled with this extremely vigorous essence energy.
If one didn't look at Ren Baqian's expression, the effects of this "special training" were indeed extremely significant.
