Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wrongdoer

Hong Jiu sat in the headquarters for a while, and the parrot hanging at the door suddenly shouted, "Welcome, welcome!" ā€

She put down the book in her hand and looked up to look outside, where a big, ragged old man walked in.

If Ye Kong was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this big-headed old man was the old man who took pictures of them that day.

"Mr. Hong, what is the quality of this year's squad members, and how long have they persisted in the 'Spiritual Warmth' ceremony?" The big-headed old man asked.

Before Hong Jiu could speak, Commander Xu on the side suddenly spoke.

"Yuan Datou, guess how many people can hold on for fifty minutes this time?" Commander Xu asked with a smile.

The old man with the big head was originally named Yuan Shu, and because of his big head, he was often called "Yuan Datou" by everyone.

"One person." With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Yuan Datou looked confident, and said firmly: "Wuhuan, you should be able to hold out for fifty minutes." ā€

"Wu Huan is actually half a spiritual cultivator, he has been spiritually recuperating since he was a child, he doesn't count." Commander Xu said with a smile.

"If no joy is counted, then there will be no one." Yuan Datou looked at Commander Xu with a smile, "What, you want to bet with me?" How about betting on a pound of soju? ā€

"Okay, no problem, a pound of soju is a pound of soju, I guess someone can hold on for fifty minutes." Commander Xu smiled slightly.

In fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, he just wanted to send soju to Yuan Datou in the name of gambling to please him.

After all, Commander Xu still has a request for others.

"Haha, it must be the soju of Tianle Shop, a catty, you can't play tricks!"

"No problem!" Commander Xu smiled, looked at his watch, and looked at Hong Jiu, "Mr. Hong, I see that the time is almost up, let's go over and see if this year's X team can give us a surprise." ā€

"Hmm." Hong Jiu nodded.

"Hehe, maybe there will be a genius who can surpass Mr. Hong." Commander Xu said happily.

"Lao Xu, I see that you have too much wine at home, so you want to send it out, Mr. Hong is a genius who has insisted on more than 90 minutes for the first time in the past 30 years." The corners of Yuan Datou's mouth showed a mocking look, "You must know that a true spiritual cultivator, each spiritual cultivation cannot exceed two hours, and if it continues, there is a risk of getting out of control, and those little dolls are relatively average in talent, and it is absolutely impossible to surpass Mr. Hong." ā€

"Haha, how do you know if you don't try it." Commander Xu looked at ease as an old god.

He didn't plan to win, he just wanted to give away wine to arouse Yuan Datou's interest, which would make people feel more comfortable winning.

"If there really is, this year's soju, I Yuan Datou will invite you!" Yuan Datou patted his chest and said, "Mr. Hong will testify to the two of us!" ā€

"Good! If no one surpasses Mr. Red, I'll treat you to soju for a year! ā€

"Deal!"

The two old men hit it off and made a bet for a year.

Hong Jiu still looked indifferent and didn't say a word, as if nothing in this world could arouse her interest.

……

Spiritual Recuperation Training Ground.

At thirty-five minutes, the pain on Wei Bihui's face was even worse than Wang Meili's, but she still clenched her teeth and persevered.

And Wang Meili couldn't hold on, she took the initiative to climb out of the futon, sweating, falling to the ground, and couldn't get up.

"Beautiful, are you alright?" Zhao Fugui was running around the training ground and looked at Wang Meili with great concern.

Wang Meili ignored him, turned her head weakly, and looked at Ye Kong in the field.

Seeing that Ye Kong was still calm and without any waves, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Meimei's mouth, and she whispered a little nympholy:

"That's handsome......"

"Drink some water." At this time, Instructor Park took a kettle, walked up to Wang Meili, and put the kettle in front of her forehead.

"Thank you, instructor." Wang Meili staggered up, her limbs seemed to be paralyzed, and she had no strength.

"Weakness is only temporary, and the longer you meditate in the ritual, the stronger your body will be, sublimated and baptized." Instructor Park explained.

He didn't say much to Wang Meili, his eyes were all on Ye Kong and Wu Huan.

"It's been almost forty minutes, and these two people are expressionless, okay." Instructor Park nodded approvingly.

It was him back then, and he was only able to last thirty minutes, and he was still the best one in their class.

It's really hard to persevere in the ritual of "spiritual warmth."

Forty minutes later, Wei Bihui's face was distorted, her body was trembling, and her words began to slurred as if she was about to go crazy.

"Wei Bihui, come down!" Instructor Park walked over and gently patted Wei Bihui on the shoulder.

With this gentle pat, Wei Bihui seemed to have been bitten by a poisonous snake, screamed in pain, and fell directly to the ground.

The pain on her face was uncontrollable, and her eyes were wide and almost bulging.

"She is also a strong-willed girl." Commander Xu led the three of them to the training ground, showing a relieved smile.

"How many minutes is it now?" Yuan Datou asked impatiently.

"Old Yuan, it's been forty-three minutes now." Instructor Park replied respectfully.

When Commander Xu heard this, he smiled slightly, turned his body halfway, and said to Yuan Datou: "Old Yuan, I remember that Mr. Hong lasted for 92 minutes for the first time. ā€

"Now it's less than half, what are you anxious about?" Yuan Datou spoke lightly, extremely confident in his guess.

"Let's wait and see." Commander Xu sat down on the threshold, not flustered at all, waiting for the result.

The little fat man and the others ran panting, and although the training ground was cold, they were still sweating profusely.

"Fifty minutes." Instructor Park continued to tell the time.

Fifty minutes is excellent, and before becoming a spiritual cultivator, being able to persist for fifty minutes in the ritual of spiritual recuperation means that in the future, the probability of becoming a spiritual cultivator is at least fifty percent.

"This Ye Kong is not simple, Mr. Hong chose him as the team leader, it seems that he has another deep meaning." Instructor Park thought to himself.

Fifty minutes later, sweat began to flow from Wuhuan's face, and a faint look of pain appeared.

As for Ye Kong, he is actually not calm.

It's just that instead of feeling pain, it's—

Feel excited.

The compass continued to absorb energy, and above it, five light particles had formed.

Those light particles, at the very beginning, Ye Kong seemed to understand its function.

It's like a man's nature to know how to touch beautiful women.

"Every light particle is the energy essence of the compass, which can put me into an 'illusory' state for three seconds."

Five light particles, theoretically, are enough for Ye Kong to be illusory for fifteen seconds.

Of course, this is only a theoretical state, every time after three seconds of illusory, Ye Kong feels his body collapse, and his current physique cannot support him to continue unreal for too long.

His attention was all on the compass at the moment, and he could understand what was on the compass at a glance. For example, the elixir formula materials of the Time and Space Spirit Path will be automatically forwarded to the medicinal materials he is familiar with.

But there are also things, such as the forty-nine scales, that he can't understand at all.

"Perhaps, I need to be promoted to a spiritual cultivator of Lingtu 9 to be able to unlock more information." Ye Kong thought in his heart.

"Sixty minutes!" Instructor Park continued to announce.

Wuhuan was already sweating profusely at this time, his face was painful and distorted, and it seemed that he couldn't hold on for much longer.

But Ye Kong still looked calm.

"Is there something wrong with the ritual underneath him?" Yuan Datou pointed at Ye Kong and suddenly spoke.

"Old Yuan, hurry up and check it out." Commander Xu looked at Yuan Datou and smiled.

He originally continued to give wine in the name of gambling, but seeing Ye Kong's calm appearance, he suddenly felt that it was not certain who would give whom wine.

Today, this Yuan Datou may become a wronged head.
