Hidden Corners

The Li family in Suiyang.

The crape myrtle trees outside the window are all purple and red, swaying gently in the wind, scattering a few petals from time to time.

An old aunt passing by downstairs held her little granddaughter in her arms, pointed at the crape myrtle flowers on the tree, and muttered something, which seemed to be some related poem.

Li Chengjiu opened the window, took off the flying instrument from his body, and hung it on the hook on the wall.

"Did Li Chengyi transplant this flower?" She looked back at her mother, Feng Yurong, who was mopping the floor.

"Well, your brother said he liked crape myrtle flowers before, so he spent his own money to transplant some from other places. You also know his temper. Now that he has money, he spends money lavishly and doesn't know how to save at all." Feng Yurong started chattering again.

Li Chengjiu responded with a "hmm" on the surface, but in fact he didn't listen.

After being beaten by Li Chengyi, she suddenly realized how good her parents were to her before.

For this person, the most important thing is to have contrast. I didn't feel it before, but now when I see my parents doing things for me, I always feel that there are many things I didn't pay attention to because they are busy and paying.

"Nie Qingche and I plan to go to their home in a few days to finalize the marriage." Li Chengjiu said suddenly.

"Then I'll inform Xiao Yi, he will definitely be very happy." Feng Yurong was stunned and suddenly smiled.

"He is a big shot now." Li Chengjiu murmured and said no more, "Maybe he may not have time to come."

"After all, my sister is engaged. Even if he has something big, he will still be able to find time." Feng Yurong comforted her.

Li Chengjiu stopped talking.

Ever since Nie Qingche went back to investigate last time and found out that Li Chengyi was actually the teacher of the national fighting competition champion, she felt as if the world had suddenly become extremely strange.

Everything seems to be like a false bubble, with one color on the surface and another color when it explodes.

Standing in front of the window, she looked into the distance. On the grass in the villa area in the distance, several people wearing peaked caps gathered together, not knowing what they were discussing.

Farther away, on the second floor of a white villa opposite, a little girl wearing a traditional blue and white gauze skirt was controlling a drone flying around with a remote control in her hand.

Farther away, in the blue sky, layers of white clouds were like terraces, cut and cut by several supersonic low-altitude aircraft, leaving long gaps.

"After we get engaged, Ache and I will go to the fortress." She said suddenly.

"It will be fine. We are the Yi Kingdom, and those guys from Bai Xing who call for freedom will definitely not be able to defeat the big shots from Jiu Yi." Feng Yurong said firmly.

"." Li Chengjiu smiled and said nothing. Only those who have actually been on the battlefield can understand how terrifying Bai Xing's large-scale human cannon fodder tactic is.

Maybe this time, she would die on the battlefield, but after experiencing being abandoned by the organization last time, some things between life and death seemed to be able to be taken lightly.

If I could come back alive and live a peaceful life like this, maybe it wouldn't be bad

In the pure white laboratory room.

Li Chengyi was immersed in the huge reinforced crystal cylinder.

Nutrient solution is continuously injected into his mouth and blood vessels, and the eliminated waste and impurities automatically seep out through the skin.

At this time, the second mark on his chest was much clearer.

It was a complex circular pattern composed of many K's. After more than two days of infusion, this second engraving was just the last bit away from being completed.

Da da da.

Suddenly, outside the laboratory, there was a clear sound of high heels hitting the floor.

Da Xiong was wearing a white leather jumpsuit, swaying as he approached with a written document, and stood at the observation entrance outside the laboratory.

"Brother Yi, the information you provided has been basically sorted out. Using supercomputing and simulated drug experiments and testing, we have basically found the corresponding accessory drugs. There are a total of seventy-three sets of Zhenqi martial arts and sixty-four sets of blood elements. Martial arts.”

In the laboratory, Li Cheng opened his eyes, and his powerful consciousness instantly penetrated the wall and sensed the big bear.

"Give me all the information and play it in front of me through a projection."

"Okay." Big Bear nodded, "In addition, I have some clues about the research on consciousness. Based on the research foundation of relevant institutions in this country, our definition of consciousness is the integrity of a large number of weak electric fields with a special structure. Functional field.”

"What I want is research results on how to greatly enhance this field." Li Chengyi said.

"No, this aspect involves basic principles." Daxiong shook his head, "Recently, I discovered in my research that consciousness is also divided into many categories. We humans use weak electric fields as the basic unit, but many other entities, such as those provided by Little Brown, Biological samples are no longer based on weak electric fields, but on another special force field as the basic unit. Because it is too weak and difficult to observe, and is correlated with light and shadow, it is greatly affected by light exposure, so I will It’s named Light and Shadow Force Field.”

"In other words, the basic unit determines the difference between the general direction of the future and the upper limit of the peak. There is a fundamental difference between the electric field consciousness and the light and shadow consciousness. This is not a property that can be changed by strength." Da Xiong continued.

".I understand what you mean, so let's strengthen the research on Qi first." Li Chengyi was silent for a moment. This time he came back to complete a large number of Qi secrets and blood essence secrets that he had mastered, which was his biggest gain.

"Okay. In addition, I can also provide biological unit equipment made entirely of your bones." Big Bear smiled.

"Where's the shield I brought back?"

"That shield." The smile on Big Bear's face suddenly froze, "I'm sorry, with our current technology, we can't break down and detect that shield. I sampled a little bit of the edge, but all the observation instruments only showed that it was ordinary. It's a bone structure, but its strength is much higher than normal bone. This is something we can't understand."

"In other words, there is no way to study it?" Li Chengyi frowned.

"Yes." Big Bear nodded, "Unless we develop higher-level observation instruments, we won't even have the chance to explore its microstructure, and it will be impossible to study it clearly."

Li Chengyi said no more, but the mark on his chest suddenly condensed and became completely clear.

A dark red halo emerged from the second mark on his chest.

Done!

The second engraving, which is also a fusion engraving that combines two growth direction engravings at the same time, is finally completed at this moment.

In fact, the engraving is just a superficial symbol. It represents that Li Chengyi's body has successfully sublimated to a new level.

After reaching this level first, the mark will be naturally formed and engraved from the inside out.

In fact, with or without it, Li Chengyi has truly become a stronger organism.

With a slight jump, he flew out of the nutrition tank out of thin air and landed firmly on the ground.

The whole body is covered with a thin layer of black scales.

Those are the dragon scales belonging to the shadow dragon.

After all, he is not an exhibitionist and would not expose his body in front of the bear all day long.

"Project the martial arts information to me, and you can also choose to learn it yourself." He said solemnly.

"Is it okay? Are you sure it suits our bodies?" Big Bear suddenly became interested.

"You can experiment by yourself, shouldn't you be an expert in this area?" Li Chengyi put on a white coat to cover his whole body.

Soon a light curtain appeared in front of him out of thin air and began to play the analyzed accessory drug information.

"Ghost Jade Technique", "Blue Wave Hailin Technique", "Blood Wave Technique", "Golden Moon Sword Technique", "Red Phosphorus Sword Technique", "Nine Trends Sword Technique".

A series of Zhenqi martial arts were played and flashed before his eyes.

Li Chengyi's purpose was to engrave the seal, not for the final increase in the martial arts' true energy, so what he focused on was the effectiveness of the martial arts.

The effectiveness of the true energy basically determines the nature of the true seal that will be pursued in the end. Compared with blood essence martial arts, the universal compatibility of zhenqi is much better.

What he lacks most now is speed. In terms of absolute speed, he is still far behind the top players.

So what he was looking for at this time was speed martial arts.

Soon, a body movement martial arts appeared in his field of vision.

"Void Night Walk".

This is a martial art that purely cultivates speed, Zhenqi martial arts. The level is black. Legend has it that a master thief in Quling Mansion who was once a very powerful thief was captured and interrogated by the prince.

However, because practice is extremely difficult and requires too many innate conditions, few people care about it.

Fortunately, these cultivation conditions are nothing to Li Chengyi.

If he is not good at it naturally, he will find someone who is good at it. As long as you get in at the beginning, everything else is not a problem.

Coupled with the accelerated practice effect of the power of flower language, he was able to practice martial arts to a terrifying level that no one could imagine in a very short time.

After choosing martial arts, he began to practice quickly to refine his true energy. Unfortunately, there was no spirit of the true seal here, and naturally no marrow of the true seal appeared.

So Li Chengyi could only memorize the matching prescription first, then got up and left the laboratory to test the changes in strength brought about by the new engraving.

Inside the empty rock martial arts gym in the underground base.

Li Chengyi and Daxiong stood face to face, both wearing tight-fitting white test suits.

The perfectly fitted test suit completely exposed the curves of Big Bear's body.

Even though she usually likes to make some sexy jokes, she was a little shy at this time and covered her lower body with a short skirt.

"Brother Yi, what do you want to test?" Looking at the burly Li Chengyi opposite, she raised one hand and a light screen appeared in front of her, showing rows of various biochemical beasts she had cultivated.

"I have hundreds of biochemical beasts that I have cultivated here. From level one to level six, they correspond to level one to level six transformers respectively. But there is nothing I can do about the higher ones. That is not something I can cultivate for the time being. , it requires too many resources and is too sensitive.”

"It's already very strong." Li Chengyi was also surprised. He actually cultivated a sixth-level biochemical beast. Da Xiong was able to use a single flower language to the extreme, and the effect was astonishing.

After all, how much time does it take?

"Actually, it's not bad. I took the biological sample from the monster in the last dead end, combined it with the sample cells of you and Little Brown, and cultivated a new kind of cutie. Now it looks like it has huge potential, but the growth rate is too slow. It's been two weeks since birth, and a lot of growth-accelerating methods have been used to no avail. Now it's still an ordinary embryo." Big Bear was a little helpless.

"What kind of monster sample did you use?" Li Chengyi couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, it's a kind of weirdo whose head can be stretched very long. It usually has a female appearance, and its neck can fly out very long. It's a bit like the prototype in ghost stories. I call her a long neck. The sample of this kind of monster heals itself. The force is very strong, as long as there are a few cells left, it can continue to devour and grow." Big Bear replied.
