Chapter 221: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Five days later, the spacecraft docked at the spaceport of Innomics, and Captain Demps and the others respectfully sent Xin Lin off the ship, all with irrepressible smiles on their faces.
Before leaving, Xin Lin gave Demps 20 million virtual currency as a reward.
According to federal rescue laws, the rest of the money is divided equally among the crew after deducting the value of the energy consumed by the spacecraft to save people.
There were only thirty-five people in this cargo spaceship, and in the end, each of them could get hundreds of thousands, which was worth the income from their hard work of running the ship two or three times, and the windfall made everyone very happy, and their attitude towards Xin Lin was naturally more and more respectful.
Xin Lone walked into the spaceport with a large box containing the iron-blooded warrior, retracted into subspace in a no-man's corner, and then without any stops, he immediately bought the fastest spaceship flight to Earth as Shi Hongyi.
Two hours later, the spacecraft set sail from the spaceport.
Xin Lin bought a first-class cabin with an independent cabin, and after getting on the ship, he habitually released his telepathy to search the entire spaceship to confirm that there was no danger, and then he entered the state of cultivation.
The boundless world of vacuum energy, with Xin Lin as the center, formed an invisible huge vortex, the range expanded to tens of meters, and kept pouring into Xin Shan's body all the time, his body was like a bottomless pit, rapidly absorbing the vacuum energy around him, transforming it into force and telekinesis, and enhancing his cultivation every minute and every second.
If other Force warriors saw this, they would definitely be stunned by such a terrifying cultivation scene.
Ordinary warrior cultivation, absorbing vacuum energy is a trickle, water grinding kung fu, no matter how fast it is, it can't shake the peace of the vacuum energy world, but Xin Lone's cultivation has a momentum that devours the sky and the earth, stirring the vacuum energy world, crazy plundering, and the speed difference is more than a hundred times!
Moreover, he can keep cultivating at all times, no matter what he is doing, even if he is fighting or sleeping, his cultivation will not stop, and the results of one day's cultivation are equivalent to several months to half a year for others.
However, Xin Lonely was still not satisfied.
After experiencing the crazy efficiency of the Star Devouring Technique, this cultivation speed still seemed a little slow in his eyes. He carefully observed his cultivation process, and silently estimated that at the current rate, it would take about two years to cultivate all the nine vortices to a state of overflow and be promoted to an intermediate general.
"Two years...... Xin sighed, thinking to himself: "It would be nice if I could catch another Martial Saint and devour it!" ”
"That's not right!"
Huo Ran, who was silent and fierce, was startled, and realized that his thoughts were dangerous, which was what Augustus once said to go astray.
His Star-Devouring Technique has only practiced the first layer, and he must capture the target alive and completely control it before he can absorb the Force. It may be possible to defeat the Martial Saint, but it is difficult to capture the Martial Saint alive, and it is not easy for any Martial Saint of the Federation to match him, that is, Gustav was seriously injured, so he gave himself a chance to take advantage of.
Of course, the Star-Eating Recipe can also absorb the strong people under the Martial Saint, such as the generals, and the quality is not enough to make up the quantity.
However, the total force of the generals is far inferior to that of the Martial Saint, Xin Lin estimates that it takes at least seven or eight high-level generals to be able to withstand a Martial Saint, which is inefficient, and the more times he attacks, the greater the chance of exposing the Star Devouring Technique.
If you are bent on devouring other people's Force to improve your cultivation, even if you do it seamlessly, sooner or later someone will discover the secret.
Once the power of the Star Devouring Technique leaks out, the whole world will be against you, and everyone will end up shouting and fighting.
The most important thing is that Xin Lin does not want to kill innocents indiscriminately in order to satisfy his selfish desires.
"I have to resist this temptation." Xin Lin took a deep breath, abandoned distracting thoughts, and his eyes returned to clear and bright, focusing on his cultivation.
Immersed in cultivation, half a month passed in a flash.
The spacecraft went straight to Earth, stopping at no planets on the way, and sailed through warped space, arriving on Earth in less than fifteen days and docking in spaceport One.
Xin Lin got out of the spaceship and saw the familiar blue planet at a glance.
His gaze paused on the mother planet of Earth for a few seconds before he took out his mobile phone to contact Lu Xiaoyun. When the spacecraft was about to arrive, Lu Xiaoyun called and said that he was going to pick him up at the spaceport.
In less than five minutes, a speeding car appeared in front of me.
Lu Xiaoyun jumped down from the car, stepped forward with an excited face, hugged Xin Lin hard before letting go, and said with a smile: "Welcome back." ”
Xin Lin patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Thank you." ”
He disappeared for more than a year, and his parents relied on the protection of the Lu family to ensure their safety, especially during his disappearance, the Lu family's attitude towards his parents did not change, nor did he relax, there must be Lu Xiaoyun's help, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lu Xiaoyun understood the meaning of Xin Xiao's words, waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do." Even if you really can't come back, I will try my best to keep my uncle and aunt safe, otherwise how can I explain to you. But I know you're going to be back, and as I expected, haha......"
Xin Lin also had a smile on his face, and secretly wrote down this kindness.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyun didn't know how much benefit his words would bring to the Lu family, because the grace of Xin Lone's thought had created a long-lasting family legend!
The two of them got on the flying car and shuttled through the spaceport, and soon entered the luxury airship booked by Lu Xiaoyun, and without outsiders present, Xin Xiao took off the illusion mask and revealed his true face.
This time when he returns to Earth, he will show his true identity and appear in the public eye of the Federation in the open.
As for the danger posed by the 100 billion bounty, because of the deaths of Gustav and Faulkner, no one has cashed the bounty, and the bounty has been automatically canceled.
In fact, with Xin Lone's current cultivation, even if the reward is still there, there is no need to be afraid.
However, he is not ready to reveal the matter of the bounty, the Luo Consortium itself cannot move for the time being, and must wait patiently for the opportunity, but the Blood Handprint must pay for it, and he is ready to uproot the Blood Handprint by thunder means to deter other killer organizations. Otherwise, in the future, no one will dare to make money unfavorable to their families, and they will not be able to prevent it.
The airship sailed at high speed to the capital Tianjing.
Inside the cockpit, Lu Xiaoyun looked at Xin Xiao seriously, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
"It's only the first day of the Federation, I haven't seen you for a few years, what are you cultivating now?" Lu Xiaoyun finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked jokingly.
"Peak high-ranking samurai."
Xin said quietly: "I came back this time to buy the next stage of the exercises of the Seven Colors Stellar Flame and impact the realm of martial arts. ”
It was a statement he had already thought of, and if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to lie to his best friend. If he directly shows his martial arts cultivation now, anyone will be suspicious. As long as you log in to the super energy center and check it casually, you can find out that he didn't buy the follow-up exercises of "Seven Colored Stellar Flame" before he disappeared, but when he came back, he cultivated to the realm of a military general, which is not clear at all.
As early as when he was rescued by the spaceship, Xin Lin stabilized his Force aura at the peak of a high-level warrior through the Singularity Star Core, and most of the Force was converging deep in his body.
With the magic and power of the singularity star core, even if it is a star powerhouse, you will not find that Xin Lone's strength does not match the surface. He planned to wait until he purchased the follow-up exercises, and then slowly revealed his Force cultivation, making people believe that what he had been cultivating was the "Seven Colored Stellar Flame".
Before that, Xin Lin will appear as an electromagnetic warlock, and try to deal with people with warlock methods.
"Peak high-level samurai!"
Lu Xiaoyun exclaimed, hurriedly folded his fingers and calculated, and shouted: "You have been cultivating the Force for less than five years, right, this is the peak of the high-level warrior?" Oh my god, you're too fast! ”
"Hey, hey." Xin Lin smiled slightly reservedly, but thought in his heart that if Lao Lu knew his true strength, he didn't know what his expression would be.
"Damn, look at you like this!"
Lu Xiaoyun was so angry that he couldn't help but say foul words, and then let out a long sigh and said: "Your name as a genius on the first day of the Federation is really not in vain, if you can successfully condense the vortex before your birthday at the end of the year, you will be the first military general under the age of thirty in the history of the Federation!" ”
Xin Lin nodded, and said confidently: "More than half a year, enough to impact the generals, you wait to see a good show." ”
"I'm waiting for your good news." Lu Xiaoyun didn't have the slightest doubt about Xin Lone's bold words, and sighed: "In the past, it was very amazing that a forty-year-old military general appeared in the Federation, known as the pride of the world, but now you are a demon pervert, damn, people are more popular than people, why should I know you......"
"Haha, look at what stimulates you, I haven't told you that I'm already a warlock." Xin Lin said with a smile, he didn't say that he was an electromagnetic warlock, and he also had to buy the telekinetic exercise from the Super Energy Center before it could be made public.
Lu Xiaoyun's face froze, and he shook his head a little numbly: "It's not surprising at all, you got the Qingkong Fruit last year, I guess you should be able to help but eat it." ”
Xin Xiao stopped talking about his own affairs, and asked with concern: "Lao Lu, how are you doing now, you are about to graduate from the Shouxing Military Academy, right?" ”
"The graduation ceremony is in August, but I won't be in the army for a while. My current cultivation is still too low, I have just reached the level of a samurai, and I am going to stay on Earth to continue cultivating for a period of time before entering the army, I should be a space soldier for a few years first, and the specific warband to join is undecided, waiting for my grandfather's arrangement. Lu Xiaoyun said indifferently.
Xin Xiao nodded, he could see through Lu Xiaoyun's current cultivation at a glance.
Lu Xiaoyun cultivated the three-star exercise "Wind Spirit Jue", and he had already condensed thirty-seven Force nodes, which was already quite good among his peers, but compared to the top geniuses of the Federation, there was still a big gap.
"This arrangement is relatively safe, if you have the conditions, you should cultivate to the node and then join the battle group."
Xin Lin was a little worried about his friends, with his current vision, high-level samurai were really too weak, even if they wore power armor, they were similar to cannon fodder on the battlefield, at least they needed generals to protect themselves.
"Do you think everyone else cultivates so fast like you?"
Lu Xiaoyun looked helpless, "My talent is only middle and upper, if it weren't for the family giving me a lot of support, including a large number of cultivation resources, it is estimated that I would not be able to reach a high-level warrior until I am forty years old." I'm just halfway through the condensation of the node now, and when I reach the consummation of the node, I'll be at least fifty years old, so how can I wait so long? ”
Speaking of the back, he shook his head rather depressedly and sighed, "Alas, how difficult it is to cultivate! ”
Xin Silent was suddenly speechless, not knowing how to comfort him.
He also remembered Justin, a few years later, still working hard in Force training camp, and the quadrennial draft was coming up in a few months, and Justin's chances of being selected this year were a little higher than last time, but the pick was still not high, and the future was not clear.
"I'm going to find a way to help them."
Xin Lin thought to himself, now that he has peace of mind in his cultivation, he can't leave his two best friends behind, and he should help within the scope of his ability, of course, provided that he can't expose any information about the inverse entropy star.
How to help, he has to think carefully before making a decision.
More than an hour later, the airship arrived in the capital Tianjing and landed in the Lu family's sea-view villa.
"Silence!"
"Son!"
As soon as they got out of the airship, Xin Yu and Zhou Haiman and his wife greeted him excitedly, Xin Xiao opened his arms and hugged his parents, and it took more than ten seconds to let go. After the family greeted each other, Xin Lin looked at the others in front of the courtyard of the villa.
In addition to Lu Xiaoyun, Lu Chengyin was also present, and he specially asked for leave today to wait at home for Xin Xiao to come back.
"District Chief Lu." Xin Lin stepped forward to say hello, and Zhengse said: "Thank you for your support for more than a year, and you have also bothered about the safety of my parents." ”
"It's just a matter of effort."
Lu Chengyin smiled, to be honest, he was disappointed for a long time after Xin Lian's disappearance, thinking that Xin Lin had suffered an accident, and now seeing Xin Lian return safely, he was sincerely happy to prove that he was not wrong.
He made a gesture of please and smiled, "Come in, we're all curious about your experience this year." ”
"Okay." Xin Lin readily agreed.
The group entered the Lu family villa, this was Xin Lian's second time here, walking between the luxurious halls, his telepathy spread out, and he couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
The Lu family is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are two martial saints, a man and a woman, who are senior warriors and junior martial saints; In addition, there are six military generals, hidden in various parts of the villa, either cultivating or patrolling; The rest of the nearly 100 security guards are also not weak, at least all of them have the cultivation of high-level samurai.
In addition, the Lu family villa is not as simple as it seems on the surface, the underground is a solid air-raid shelter, enough to resist the power of a nuclear explosion, the buildings on the ground are full of monitoring agencies, and there are a large number of combat robots hidden in the wall compartments.
"With such a strong defense force, it's no wonder that the killer doesn't dare to provoke the Lu family, and the safety of his parents can be guaranteed." Xin Lonely said secretly.
Of course, the defense of the Lu family's villa has no secrets in his eyes, and with telepathy and Augustus' ability, it is not difficult for him to infiltrate the Lu family.
In fact, there is no place in the Federation today that cannot be entered.
