Chapter 570: Chapter 328: Mindset and Future Plans_2

“At least up to this point.”

“I’ve done it, haven’t I?”

“Leave the enemy to me.”

“You just need to protect the ordinary people.”

That’s right.

Thinking back to the first time I met Chen Sheng.

The opponent’s strength was even worse than that of Sun Yihe’s disciples.

But what about now?

Perhaps even one thousand of him wouldn’t be enough to pose a threat to Chen.

Although deep down, there was always a sense of frustration that he couldn’t change the current situation.

However, for some reason,

Seeing Chen Sheng’s expression,

Li Wuji’s originally heavy heart seemed to subconsciously relax a bit.

“Fine.”

In the end,

He slowly nodded.

“I’ll do my best.”

As his words fell,

The two exchanged a smile.

The originally oppressive atmosphere dissipated as well.

“So, what do you plan to do next?”

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

After the two had gone through the hallway for some distance, Li Wuji spoke again.

“Yes.”

“Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle.”

“Since we already know that the enemy will come at us, it’s better to understand as much as possible.”

“You mean …”

Li Wuji seemed to have an understanding.

“That’s right.”

Chen Sheng nodded.

“I want to try to awaken Zhurong.”

“I want… to know the movements of the Heavenly People and their headquarters in advance.”

“Before falling into a coma, Zhurong told me that although the Red Mist has disappeared for the time being, it hasn’t completely died.”

“It seems that there is a headquarters within the Heavenly People.”

“No matter how many times the Heavenly People die, they can always be resurrected there.”

“I want to find that place.”

So far, except for the Red Mist,

Under all parties’ surveillance, other Heavenly People don’t seem to have shown signs of awakening yet.

Zhurong merely sensed that their souls were about to be devoured and briefly awakened before.

But if they succeeded once, why not try the same thing again?

Let Xiao Hei attempt to devour it once more.

If that still doesn’t work, try devouring two more times, three more times.

Until he gets all the information he needs.

This is related to Chen Sheng’s next plan to enhance his abilities.

Heavenly Person cells can bring Chen Sheng a rapid increase in spiritual power.

It is precisely relying on this that Chen Sheng can quickly enhance his secret skills, making his attributes skyrocket to the level they are now in a short period of time.

So… what about the Heavenly Person’s main body?

How much of an upgrade can devouring an entire Heavenly Person bring to oneself?

They keep resurrecting time and time again.

And every time, Chen would have Xiao Hei tear and devour the souls of these Heavenly People. What would the result be?

This requires some practice to find out the result.

Just as Chen Sheng said earlier, he does not fear the existence in his memory.

But that does not mean he has a hundred percent confidence in defeating the opponent.

All he can do is exhaust all possibilities and upgrade his strength as fast as possible.

“You don’t mean to… ”

Upon hearing Chen Sheng’s words,

Li Wuji’s eyes widened instantaneously, revealing a horrified expression on his face.

Chen couldn’t possibly be thinking about attacking the Heavenly People’s headquarters, could he?

As expected,

Without waiting for Li Wuji to raise his own doubts,

Chen Sheng’s next sentence confirmed his suspicions.

“I had that thought.”

“No, I think it’s too risky.”

Li Wuji’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

“In this war…”

Even though Chen Sheng’s speed of improvement far exceeded his expectations,

And the opponent showed great strength in the Slumbering Land,

Li Wuji still did not believe that with Chen Sheng’s current abilities, he could single-handedly fight all Heavenly People.

In the battle against the Heavenly People, on the human side, only Chen Sheng can play a decisive factor.

His importance goes without saying.

Though such a thought made Li Wuji feel even more incapable,

It was indeed the current reality.

Moreover,

Through Chen Sheng’s exploration of memory,

Li Wuji thought that the waters behind the Heavenly People might be much deeper than he had imagined.

Under no circumstances did he want Chen Sheng to put himself in danger impulsively.

“War?”

However,

Li Wuji’s words were cut off,

Interrupted directly by Chen Sheng.

The two walked along the roadside as they talked, now approaching the research institute where Zhurong was located.

Chen Sheng stopped and looked back at Li Wuji.

Although the light in the corridor was not bright.

Li Wuji could still clearly see the disgust and murderous intent flashing across Chen Sheng’s face.

At this moment,

it seemed that the temperature in the corridor had dropped significantly.

“There won’t be any war.”

“Only pursuit, only fear.”

“I, alone, will be hunted by the Heavenly People.”

“I, alone, will bring fear to them.”

Chen Sheng’s tone was calm.

But inexplicably, the temperature in the corridor plummeted.

Even Li Wuji couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

Chen Sheng had shown power in front of him in the past.

But that was just a shock brought about by pure terrifying power.

Such cold, bone-chilling murderous intent.

He was experiencing it for the first time.

At this point, Li Wuji was extremely grateful that he was on the same side as Chen Sheng.

Fortunately,

the oppressive atmosphere didn’t last too long.

As Chen Sheng slowly pushed open the door,

the noise and the wave of heat coming at them dissipate the chill enveloping Li Wuji.

Compared to when the two left earlier, the research hall was much more crowded.

A large number of researchers who were either resting or had finished work for the day rushed to the Martial Arts Association when they heard that there was a living Heavenly Person in the research institute who was likely not a threat.

Now, when Chen Sheng looked around, it was chaos.

There were those wearing vests, shorts, and slippers.

There were those wearing pajamas.

He even saw someone with a neck covered in lipstick prints and bite marks.

It was hard to imagine what they were doing before they arrived.

Even though the temperature inside the hall was high, standing there for less than a minute was enough to make anyone sweat profusely.

But these researchers seemed not to care, just watching Zhurong in the center with interest.

The sounds of discussion and arguments were continuous.

Chen Sheng pushed the door and entered.

Li Wuji followed closely behind him.

Seeing the chaos in the research institute, he cleared his throat lightly.

*cough cough*

His voice was not very loud.

But under the spread of the sound,

the originally noisy research institute,

returned to silence in just the blink of an eye.

The researchers who were discussing and arguing heatedly instantly became serious when they saw Li Wuji.

“President Li,”

They greeted him one by one.

“The information about the Heavenly Person is not top secret, and you will be able to access the research data later.”

“Those who are not working, those who are on vacation.”

“Go back.”

Unlike when he was with Chen Sheng,

Li Wuji now had the authority of a President of the Martial Arts Association.

His face was serious.

With a light wave of his hand,

even if the researchers still had curiosities, they could only obediently leave.

Soon, the research hall returned to its previous tranquility.

Only the ticking noise of the instruments working and the sounds of researchers operating them could be heard.

Chen Sheng looked at the device in the center.

There was no denying that the recovery speed of Heavenly People was fast.

During the time they talked, Zhurong’s body had completely recovered.

The power within him began to dissipate in all directions continuously.

Even though Li Wuji had already taken various measures to deal with the high temperature caused by Zhurong’s power dissipation,

The temperature in the research institute was still rising continuously.

“Leave him to me,”

Chen Sheng said.

Next, he needed to test Zhurong’s limits and devour his soul.

Although it seemed that Zhurong didn’t harbor much malice against humans for now,

it was difficult to guarantee that his power wouldn’t rampage during the experiments.

If that happened, it could burn everything within a wide range.

Therefore,

Chen Sheng could not possibly carry out the research in the underground Martial Arts Association as a precaution.

As for this,

Li Wuji readily agreed.

So,

Under Li Wuji’s instructions, the researchers reluctantly released the nutrient tank and watched Chen Sheng lift Zhurong’s body, ready to leave.

“Wait for my message.”

After giving a simple command,

Chen Sheng’s figure disappeared into the research institute.

Li Wuji withdrew his gaze,

Up next,

he had other matters to attend to.

“Notify the office to connect a conference call with the Char Federation.”

“Yes!”

As his words fell,

Li Wuji disappeared from the ground too.
