Inside a small dilapidated building in the city.

The crunching sound came from the floor with footsteps.

Xia Yuying shuffled up the stairs and slowly walked towards her room, and couldn't help but think of the man she met in the cemetery today.

"What can you say about mastering the second setter, or even the third setter, in a short period of time?"

"It's worthy of someone the old ghost knows, and it's not more reliable than the old ghost."

Xia Yuying's brows furrowed slightly, and some past lights and shadows seemed to flash in her eyes.

The man's words today reminded her of some of the words that the sect master of the Evil Slaying Sect had said.

"Child, you are gifted and qualified, you are a good material and beautiful jade for cutting evil and defending the way, Master, I can't be mistaken, your future achievements will definitely be higher than mine."

Xia Yuying shook her head, as if she wanted to shake off those memories of the past.

She opened the door and went into her room, which was less than five square meters and there was nothing to be found in it except for a single bed and a simple wardrobe.

Xia Yuying opened the wardrobe, changed into her own takeaway clothes, and cheered herself up: "As long as you earn five more months' money, you should be able to make up enough for tuition, come on!" Xia Yuying! ”

Although today's cities have more complete surveillance, network, and AI management systems than in the past, from time to time you can see the safety agency's drones flying over the city like a flock of birds.

However, logistics systems such as express delivery and take-out in urban areas do not widely use those AI-controlled mechanical creations.

After only years of war, energy is more valuable than in the past in these chaotic times, and in contrast, the concentration of the population in the wake of the surge of ideas, and the greatly increased per capita physique, make manpower efficient and cheap.

As a result, a large number of civilians like Xia Yuying relied on the strong physique obtained after the surge of inspiration to complete jobs such as express delivery and takeaway, and they could also exercise their skills while working.

Just like wrenches, jacks, forklifts and other tools are largely replaced by people's hands and feet.

And many of the jobs of pulling triggers, analyzing data, and examining conversations are gradually being replaced by AI and machines.

Machines and humans are a reflection of each other in this bizarre era.

And at this moment, the girl who originally hurried to deliver food every day and came back just to sleep, but this time she was not in a hurry to leave.

She subconsciously looked at the stack of books at the bottom of the closet.

"Introduction to Quantum Martial Arts", "Ten Minutes to Learn to Spit Na", "Jiuyang Divine Skill Original", "Six Desires and Demon Separation Classics", "Quantum Immortality Ceremony", ......

This 'textbook' shows Xia Yuying's experience of being deceived again and again in the past.

At this moment, Xia Yuying looked at these books without shame, or anger, but just sighed a little nostalgically.

Who hasn't been full of dreams when they're young?

Who doesn't think that they are also a genius with a future to ascend to the sky?

Xia Yuying, who came back from the cemetery at this moment, remembered her former self, but her biggest feeling was that she missed the self who was full of infinite hope in her heart.

At that time, although my abilities in all aspects were far inferior to now, I had more possibilities and more courage because I was young enough.

It's not like she is now, she only thinks about delivering food to make money, thinking about studying in the future, and finding a job that doesn't require cultivation talent, but has a higher income......

"But that's the reality."

"After all, people have to admit their mediocrity and follow the path they once hated......"

"I know what I did in the past, and I guess I will be desperate for the work I will do in the future, right?"

Xia Yuying sighed in her heart, although she missed herself who was full of dreams, she understood that dreams are just dreams after all, and people still have to live in reality.

She didn't want to continue to live in delusion like her master, or the friend of the master at the grave.

Xia Yuying picked up the old books that she had been reluctant to throw away, and planned to take them to the scrap yard on the way to work later.

At this moment, she looked at the figure on the ground at some point, and turned her head sharply, and saw that the man she had met in the cemetery had appeared in the room at some point, standing behind her.

The man held the original copy of "Jiuyang Divine Skill" in his hand, and while flipping through it, he smiled and said, "The mastery in this book is made up randomly, right?" ”

"The real mastery must lay a good foundation for the skills and sublimation of one and two transmissions before you can start cultivating."

"But this author should have also practiced martial arts, and some of the exercise methods are effective, but they are not as magical as they are written."

"If you can buy this kind of book, it means that you once wanted to embark on a strong path, right?"

When she was a child, the book she was deceived into buying was held and read like this, and Xia Yuying was a little embarrassed for a while.

She looked at Lin Xing and said in a deep voice: "Although the building here is broken, it is also connected to the access control and monitoring, how did you enter my room?" ”

Lin Xing did not answer this question.

He just closed the book, looked at Xia Yuying and said slowly, "You...... Do you still want to change your fate? Just like you used to be. ”

Xia Yuying said: "Look at this room, I really don't have much money, you should go to someone else." ”

Lin Xing smiled absently, and a crystal clear blood-colored short sword appeared in his hand at some point.

"I'm always looking for someone who can change my destiny with me and step into a new world."

He slowly walked in front of Xia Yuying, looked into the girl's eyes and said, "This short sword can be regarded as a gift from me to you." ”

He placed the dagger in front of the maiden, and continued, "Of course, I don't want to force your will, so it's up to you to decide what to do with the sword. ”

"But if you change your decision, tomorrow at 15:15, you can find me in the fourteenth column of the fifth row in the east second district of the cemetery."

The girl was slightly stunned, she remembered that it should be the place where they met today.

Lin Xing continued: "I will wait for you there for 15 minutes. ”

The girl was about to reject the other party again, but found that the man who was still standing in front of her had disappeared at some point.

Only the red crystal short sword lay quietly on the ground, indicating that what had just happened was not Xia Yuying's hallucination.

Of course, Xia Yuying didn't plan to go to any cemetery to make an appointment, she picked up the blood-colored short sword, and was thinking about whether to call the police.

"Could it be some new type of fraud?"

Suddenly, she looked at the surface of the blood-colored dagger and saw that there seemed to be a series of figures moving in it.

"It's ......"

The next moment, endless memories rushed into her mind from the dagger.

Xia Yuying exclaimed, and felt the flesh and blood on her body swell slightly.

A sharp pain erupted from all over the body.

Before she could react, she fainted completely.

And just as she fainted, her entire body erupted violently with a series of explosions, and the flesh and bones under the skin seemed to be growing rapidly.

And a coercion also unfolded from her.

At first, this coercion was only the level of a pass, but it soon grew to the peak of a pass, and then directly broke through to the level of a second pass, and then grew rapidly all the way and continued to grow stronger.

……

I don't know how long it took, Xia Yuying slowly woke up, only to feel groggy in her head, as if she had been knocked out by something.

She tried to get up, but in the middle of her thoughts, she found herself floating directly into the air.

A surging spiritual thought lifted her in mid-air like an outstretched limb.

Feeling the powerful spiritual thoughts she possessed at the moment, her whole body fell into shock.

"Is my spiritual mind so strong?"

But the next moment, when she saw her hands and feet, and saw the flesh that had grown stronger, she suddenly became even more confused.

"This is my body?"

And at the same time as the shock in her mind, she had already sensed her current state with a kind of understanding of herself.

Pneumatic strength: 4.2

Sensitivity: 4.3

Endurance: 4.5

Spirituality: 6.1

"This ...... How many times have the qualities been increased? How could I have become so much stronger all at once? ”

Just when Xia Yuying felt dazed, she found that she had a lot of memories in her mind.

Divination, talismans, formations...... She obviously didn't remember that she had cultivated skills and sublimation, but at this moment, she was pouring out one after another, and she easily mastered it.

Looking at the blazing fire light on her fingertips, Xia Yuying felt that the Dao power contained in it was as familiar to her as if she had cultivated thousands of times.

She muttered, "Second Missionary...... I even broke through to the second set? ”

The power of truth flowed back and forth in her body, but Xia Yuying still felt a sense of illusion.

Suddenly, she remembered what had happened before she woke up.

"That short sword, I fainted when I touched it, and then I woke up and ......"

Xia Yuying suddenly lowered her head to look for a while, and the room of less than five square meters was clear at a glance, but she couldn't find the location of the sword shadow.

At this moment, a thunderbolt flashed through her mind, and memories of the mysterious man resurfaced.

"If you change your decision, tomorrow at 15:15, you can find me in the fifth row and the fourteenth column in the second east district of the cemetery, and I will wait for you there for 15 minutes."

Xia Yuying secretly said in her heart: "Is it that man?" He really ...... Did it really make me break through to the setter all at once? It's incredible, it's a miracle! ”

At this moment, Xia Yuying's heart seemed to have swept away the haze, and the road to the strong, which had been abandoned and even desperate, opened to her again.

She couldn't feel the excitement and surprise in her heart at this moment, but instinctively felt that her life was about to usher in a earth-shaking change at this moment.

And she immediately made up her mind that she was going to find the man again and ask what was going on.

picked up her phone and looked at the time, but Xia Yuying found that it was already 14:50 the next day, and she actually slept until the next day.

"Oops! It's too late...... From here, it takes more than an hour to get to the cemetery, even if you take a taxi......"

But soon Xia Yuying reacted, at this moment, she already has enough power, and she can be faster than a car at this moment.

I saw her figure flash, and she had already rushed out of the building.

A burst of fire faintly ignited her whole body, and as her physical body and spiritual thoughts exploded at the same time, she shot away in the direction of the cemetery.

"Hurry up!" Feeling the passage of time minute by minute, Xia Yuying said anxiously in her heart: "Be faster...... Don't go. ”

A young man who was waiting for the traffic light heard the sound of breaking the sky, and when he looked up, he saw a figure shooting out like a lightning speed.

"Got a master? This is speeding, right? ”

He raised his mobile phone and wanted to take a photo to report the other party, but found that the mobile phone didn't know what was wrong and couldn't take the photo.

……

15:29

Xia Yuying hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the location of the cemetery.

But they found that the tombstone was empty.

"Already gone?"

A strong sense of loss surged from Xia Yuying's heart, at this moment she felt as if she had lost something extremely important, and she couldn't help but regret her reckless refusal yesterday.

Reluctantly walking back and forth in the cemetery a few times, Xia Yuying was still trying to find the figure of the mysterious man.

Just when she felt disheartened, a voice sounded behind him: "You have come over a lot of movement, I just helped you eliminate some of the influence." ”

Xia Yuying turned her head in surprise, and when she saw Lin Xing in front of her, she became a little nervous: "You ...... yesterday"

"Oh, you've mastered the power of the Second Inheritance, haven't you?"

Lin Xing looked at Xia Yuying for a while, and said casually: "You don't need to thank me, it mainly depends on your own efforts and accumulation to achieve this step." ”

Xia Yuying only felt that the other party was humble, how could she have any hard work and accumulation, she was able to cross a big realm overnight, it was so incredible to the extreme, it was like a miracle, all because of the man in front of her.

At this moment, Lin Xing is already a god-like existence in his eyes.

After all, even if it is the rumored Four Great Immortal Emperors, I haven't heard of anyone who has stepped from one to two overnight.

Thinking of what the other party said yesterday, Xia Yuying said a little nervously: "What do you need me to do?" ”

Lin Xing smiled slightly and said, "The Evil Slaying Sect has mastered many methods of exploring, hunting, and trapping evil cults. ”

"What I want you to do is to capture the evil cults for me and put them in the spiritual cave of Donghai City."

"Then seal it in a formation......"

Listening to Lin Xing's eloquent conversation, he actually talked about the various skills, sublimation, and inheritance of the Evil Slaying Sect, Xia Yuying felt more and more unfathomable about the other party.

"By the way, you turn on your phone."

When Xia Yuying opened her mobile phone when she heard this, she found that someone had added her friends.

Lin Xing said: "This friend who added you is Xiao Zhao, she will assist you in secret, help you collect evil information, and do some logistics and aftermath work." ”

"I know that if you want to complete the transformation of your skills, you need to hunt down the evil cult."

"You can complete the transformation of your skills by the way, as long as you are ready, you can come to me at any time, and I will help you complete the cultivation of your skills after transformation, as well as the sublimation ......"

Hearing this, Xia Yuying couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart: "In this way, wouldn't I be able to break through to the third inheritance soon?" ”

"I can also be one of those big names in the news, smiling proudly, and dominating the world......"

So a moment later, Xia Yuying retreated to the house in Nanhai City with excitement.

With her suitcase, under the guidance or monitoring of Zhao Wanxi, she embarked on the road of arresting the evil spirit.

Looking at the fading cityscape, Xia Yuying felt as if she had returned to the past, to the time when her heart was full of hope and she only felt that there were infinite possibilities ahead.

……

A few days later.

Inside the Institute of Quantum Intelligence.

Mo Xingyu was working as before, but from time to time he thought of Lin Xing, Duan Feixia and Ma Hong at home.

"This number is ...... There are more and more, and I can't sleep well when I go back now. ”

"Why don't you just sleep in the office today?"

At this moment, Mo Xingyao heard the whispers of his colleagues on the side, as if some big man was coming to inspect the institute today.

But they didn't know who it was, so they guessed a circle and then dispersed to their respective jobs.

was so busy until noon, Mo Xingyao was arrested just after eating.

"Let's go, Lao Mo, the director asked us to go to the hall to greet the guests."

Mo Xingyu couldn't help but say, "What kind of guest am I greeting?" ”

"The director asked you to go by name, the person who came to inspect this time is said to be a super big man, don't lose your temper again when the time comes."

Mo Xingyao was helplessly dragged to the location of the gate by the other party, and found that almost all the director and other important leaders in the institute had already arrived, and even the nearby governance officials seemed to have heard something and came here.

After a while, a line of luxury motorcades drove into the institute.

Seeing that a large number of security personnel began to block the scene, Mo Xingyu became more and more curious: "Who is so pompous?" ”

The next moment, several figures stepped down from the car in the middle.

And when he saw one of them, Mo Xingyu's pupils instantly dilated.

"That's ......"

A pair of amber eyes appeared on the handsome face, the tall body exuded an infinite sense of strength, and the aura of a strong man between every move was even more ruthlessly suppressed by everyone present, like a king of beasts walking among cats and dogs.

"The great president of the new country?"

Mo Xingyu had seen the news before that the president of the New National Congress was coming to Donghai City for a visit, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to the Quantum Research Institute for inspection.

At this moment, I saw that the leaders on the scene greeted him with respectful faces, as if they were receiving condolences from the superior leaders, and greeted the arrival of the president.

Looking at the great president of the new country, Mo Xing felt that the other party was more like the master here than the person who greeted him.

But Mo Xingyao can also understand that the original president of the new country was already mighty, and some time ago, he beat the Great Light Buddha into retreat and cultivation, and for a time it was even more prestigious.

Even if a person is arrogant in his heart, standing in front of such a strong person who can pinch him to death at any time, he will bow his head out of thin air.

Especially under the pressure of the other party's momentum, there is naturally a fear of not daring to disobey the other party, a fear from biological instinct.

Mo Xingyu thought of Lin Xing in his family, so he lowered his head slightly, and decided in his heart to be a little transparent, and not to have any intersection with this one of the top four in the world.

But just as the group passed in front of Mo Xing, they suddenly stopped.

I saw the president turn his head, look at her and say, "This is Mo Xingyu, right?" ”

The director on the side hurriedly said: "Yes, Dr. Mo Xingyu has been a doctor for a long time, and he has treated many patients in our institute in the past few years, and he has studied mental health and evil qi infiltration. ”

The Great President smiled slightly, but in Mo Xingyu's eyes, he felt like he saw a beast showing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Then let Dr. Mo introduce me to the work of your institute."
