Countless energy currents shot out wildly between the two of them, completely distorting the light.
"Weakling? Do you think you're a powerhouse? "A black saber appeared next to Mi Guangyin. It hovered in the air and slashed at the side of Lu Sheng's waist.
Soon after, a second and third black saber appeared. While the two of them were in a stalemate, they slashed at Lu Sheng's body in a frenzy.
"Pcchht!"
A slightly black demonic figure suddenly charged out from behind Lu Sheng. Four huge arms descended from the sky and grabbed at Mi Guangyin.
The arms seemed to be made of diamond. They were extremely tough, and there were countless faint green runes shimmering faintly. They had just landed when they pushed down on the black saber.
A series of black sabers exploded with loud clanging sounds.
Mi Guangyin had no choice but to retreat quickly to avoid the black hands. She instantly withdrew the black saber in her hand and charged forward at an even greater speed. A pitch-black saber mark was left in the air.
The saber mark suddenly twisted and turned several dozen times in midair. It was as if cracks were spreading. It dodged the black hands like a branch and landed hard on Lu Sheng's body.
"Bam!"
Lu Sheng's body was sent flying. A huge black shadow could be vaguely seen connected to his back. It was like a parasite inside his body. It kept negating the tremendous destructive energy that surged into his body from the black saber.
The instant he retreated, a sharp spike shot out from the black shadow's back. It pierced Mi Guangyin's right shoulder with a whoosh.
The spike was initially aimed at her chest. However, she dodged it at the crucial moment, causing it to miss its target.
"Again!" Mi Guangyin was truly enraged as well. Black sabers shot out of her hands and legs. Sharp black sabers shot out from the tips of her fingers and toes. Dense rows of black sabers grew out of her back like dorsal fins. She looked like a shark or a stegosaurus.
"Ten Thousand Sabers, Nine Execution Slash!"
Mi Guangyin shuddered. All of the black sabers on her shot out and rose into the air. As if they were being held by invisible figures, they attacked Lu Sheng from all directions. "Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! "
Countless metallic clangs reverberated in the air.
After a few breaths, the sound slowly calmed down. The grassland where Lu Sheng was standing had been completely cut into a large semicircular pit that was tens of meters deep.
All the soil and rocks in the pit disappeared without a trace. This black saber seemed to have some special annihilation effect that could completely corrode and decompose everything it slashed at.
"The final slash, Wondrous Star Serpent Spirit …"
"Alright, that's enough." Suddenly, a sonorous voice interrupted Mi Guangyin's accumulation of power.
In the air above the deep pit, the huge black figure stretched out its hand to support Lu Sheng, hovering in the air.
Lu Sheng's body was completely unscathed except for a large patch of greyish-white scars. There was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes as he looked at Mi Guangyin who was on the ground below.
"It's just a small test. Don't tell me you're getting serious?" He said in a relaxed tone.
Apart from some of his clothes being torn, he didn't have the slightest injury.
Mi Guangyin was just about to unleash her ultimate technique when Lu Sheng suddenly seemed to have given up on resisting. She forcefully withdrew the technique she was accumulating power for. Touching the wound on her shoulder, she felt an indescribable grievance in her heart.
"You bastard!"
"Didn't you want to invite me to join the Iron Banner Society? I've even joined the Red Moon Disciples in the past. Will that affect me? "Lu Sheng said bluntly without hiding anything.
"Red Moon Disciples?" Mi Guangyin's attention was diverted. She slowly released the force on her body.
"It's alright. If it's Master Red Moon, there won't be much of a problem even if there are no more than ten of us."
"Oh?" Lu Sheng raised his brows slightly. It did not sound like Master Red Moon was a title, but more like a unified hierarchy in the organization.
"I can't take it anymore. I can't stay here for long. I've used too much power that's beyond my limits. I'll have to return in an hour. Hurry up if you have any more questions." Mi Guangyin tossed an emerald short saber at him impatiently.
"Catch it. This is the organization's proof. You have great potential, but if you want to reap tangible benefits after joining the organization, you'll have to contribute. There's a limit to your strength in the small world, so I can't test you. However, if you think that you're strong enough, you can assist the members in their trials, resolve pursuits, assist in fighting enemies, and so on. If you're not strong enough, you can earn enough contribution points if you're skilled in other areas. The Iron Banner Society doesn't just need combat members. We need talents in other areas as well. "
Lu Sheng caught the short saber. He initially thought that the Red Moon Disciples were unreliable. He did not expect to come across such a good opportunity in the small world.
He would have to wait and see how this Iron Banner Society turned out.
"When you leave this world, hold the short saber and follow the guiding mark on it. A power will pull you into our headquarters. As a Heavenly Devil, your main body might not be the same as your Descended body, so you must remember to place the short saber at the most obvious spot, "Mi Guangyin reminded him. "You've saved me this time. I'll remember this favor. I'll return it to you later."
"Alright." Lu Sheng did not stand on ceremony.
"If there's nothing else, you can come with me. That way, you won't have to spend too much energy tearing through space." Mi Guangyin thought about it and decided to invite Lu Sheng along.
"There's no need for that. I still have some matters to attend to here." Lu Sheng shook his head and declined. What a joke. It was not easy for him to come here. If he did not earn as much as he could before returning, he would be letting down the flow of time that was so similar.
"Alright … But be careful. This world is deeply connected to my enemy. There might be great secrets hidden in some secret places as well. Even if you're a Heavenly Devil, you might still run into danger without your main body." Mi Guangyin still reminded him out of goodwill. She only judged people by their abilities. Although Lu Sheng did not emerge victorious in a direct confrontation with her, he had already earned her acknowledgment.
"Alright." Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He nodded slightly.
"Well then, I won't be seeing you out." Mi Guangyin turned around and swiftly disappeared into the God Clock.
Lu Sheng did not follow her. He landed lightly on the grassland at the side and stood still. He had a rough idea of Mi Guangyin's abilities. However, due to the world's upper limit, she could not defend herself at all. She was constantly holding back, which was a hindrance to him.
However, he was different. He used the native's power system to improve his Indestructible Body. He had no qualms about unleashing his full strength. He could even unleash his main body's abilities for a short period of time under the cover of this body.
'As expected, those who can descend and roam the outside worlds aren't to be trifled with.' Lu Sheng sighed inwardly. Up until now, among the Descended Beings he had encountered, some were Heavenly Devils, some were experts of other systems, and some were even from other races.
However, all of them had one thing in common. They were all very powerful.
'Forget it. I'll just collect my spoils and return as soon as possible. The Iron Banner Society might be able to help me to a certain extent. However, I don't know what rank my strength will reach. I wonder if I'm on par with the Eight-Headed Griffon. '
After returning from the grassland, Lu Sheng quickly absorbed Du Qiu and Du Xia's Gesha Power. As for the other Geshas, they had nothing to do with him.
In the next few days, after guiding several high-ranking officials of the federation mentally, Lu Sheng successfully spread the great organization that Lin Shishi and the others had established throughout the federation.
Then, he became the Imperial Phoenix's special trainer. He helped train the employees and solved various psychological problems.
The effects of the psychological guidance art were outstanding. All the employees who received the training were very passionate about their work. Their bodies also became much stronger.
The organizations that received the training gained substantial benefits. Then, they started attracting more organizations to join the training.
Soon, Lu Sheng's reputation grew. He started giving lectures all over the world.
Under the correct guidance of the psychological guidance art, Lu Sheng gained more and more fans. Those who came to listen to his lectures were all converted into his loyal supporters.
Muscles … no, fans grew. Speeches that were attended by tens of thousands of people were held. Du Xiong's name began to spread all over the world.
Some called him the Holy Disciple Fist Emperor. Some called him the Holy Flash. However, most people preferred to call him the Holy Sound Walker.
Batches of society elites were guided in the right direction by Lu Sheng's psychological guidance art. They subconsciously turned into countless eyes and ears. They went to every corner of the world involuntarily and contributed to Lu Sheng's collection of Mental Energy.
Countless antiques were gathered and transported to Flower Tree City.
The members of the Imperial Phoenix and the Misty Corrosion set up nine huge warehouses in Flower Tree City with the cooperation of the national department. Antiques and relics from all over the world poured into the warehouses.
Lu Sheng would walk around the warehouses every day. Then, he would move out the useless items and replace them with new ones.
After all, antiques with Mental Energy were few and far between. Moreover, there were only a few hundred or so units of Mental Energy.
Lu Sheng stayed for more than three days, and only managed to absorb 30,000 units of Mental Energy. However, he had finally completely assimilated Mi Shenglong's Gesha Core with his spirit during this period of time.
In other words, the Gesha Core finally belonged to him completely. He could use the Gesha Power within it at will.
At this moment, the God Clock slowly faded and disappeared. The Geshas all over the world began showing signs of rapid aging. Apart from the ones Lu Sheng saved, the other Geshas quickly faded and disappeared in a mere five days.
They did not simply disappear. Instead, after they disappeared, they left no traces behind. Their parents, classmates, and friends were naturally forgotten by everyone.
The only one who was not affected was Lu Sheng.
After the Geshas disappeared, the Gesha Core in his body obtained an immense amount of Gesha Power in an extremely short period of time.
This power was so powerful that it had even reached the level of Lu Sheng's main body.
There seemed to be some special signs in certain corners of this world. They were becoming restless due to the temptation of the Gesha Core in Lu Sheng's hands.
At this moment, Lu Sheng decided that it was time to return.
…
Flower Tree City.
Lu Sheng sat in a coffee shop by the street. He read the newspaper and casually took a sip from his cup.
Du Xia and Du Qiu sat opposite him. They looked obedient and adorable. At the entrance of the coffee shop nearby, two burly men stood guard with their hands behind their backs. They did not move at all like door guardians.
The entire coffee shop had been booked. All the customers were chased out the moment Lu Sheng and the other two entered.
"I might have to go on a long trip soon," Lu Sheng said to his younger siblings as he put down the newspaper.
After Du Xia and Du Qiu were freed from their Gesha Power, the two of them had left that strange and mysterious world. They began their lives as ordinary people.
Now that all the Geshas had lost their powers, the world seemed to be on the right track. It was no longer as twisted and crooked as before.
Du Qiu and Du Xia seemed to have become ordinary junior high school students. They went to school every day, went home, did their homework, and prepared for their lessons.
As for what their eldest brother, Lu Sheng, did after that, they had no idea.
"When will you be back?" Du Xia was still calm and steady. She asked like an adult.
"I don't know." Lu Sheng shook his head. "You can't go where I'm going. There's great danger. "
Du Qiu and Du Xia exchanged glances.
"Can we not go?" Du Qiu asked.
"We can't." Lu Sheng shook his head slightly.
"Then I'll go as well," Du Xia said firmly.
"Me too." Du Qiu did not want to fall behind.
