Start a mysterious island

"My body has been chopped into pieces so many times, and you can still maintain the state of the elemental body. You really surprise me!" Liu Yuancheng said.

"This fight with each other and you also made me aware of the gap between myself and the practitioners at the beginning of the third stage." Lin Li responded.

"You are no match for me, you should know this in your heart.

If you continue to fight, when your spiritual energy cannot maintain the state of the elemental body, that will be the moment you lose... So, surrender as soon as possible! There's no need to embarrass yourself. Liu Yuancheng said.

"Haha..." Lin Li couldn't help but smile when he heard the other party persuade him to surrender again, "I told you before, surrender is not an option for me, you don't have to persuade me anymore."

"Why bother? From what you just said, I can tell that you are not a vicious person at heart.

Our city lord is wise and powerful, and recruits many talented people. The strength you just showed in your fight with me is enough to prove that you are a talent.

As long as you are willing to surrender, and I will recommend you to the Lord of the City later, you must be qualified to atone for your sins. After a few years, you can get a public position in the Lord of the City. Why not do it? "Liu Yuancheng persuaded.

What he said came from the sincerity and was not false in the slightest. The exchange and confrontation just now made him cherish talents in his heart.

If it were anyone else, facing the current situation, they would definitely be moved by Liu Yuancheng's words and give up resistance.

However, Lin Li is not a native of this world, and his thoughts are very different from those of people in this world.

In addition, he had the means to escape, so Liu Yuancheng's words could not move him at all and make him give up resistance.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to leave... Later, help me tell the people of the Red Blood Gang that as long as their Red Blood Gang still exists, I will come to visit them again." Lin Li said, ignoring Liu Yuancheng's words. To solicit.

After a fierce battle, only a quarter of Lin's psychic energy was left.

If he continued to fight, he would be defeated sooner or later, so he decided to retreat first and not be in a hurry to deal with the Red Blood Gang. He had plenty of time to spend with the opponent.

In Dongwu City, as long as Liu Yuancheng, who works in the city lord's palace, starts recruiting, except for some children from aristocratic families, others will definitely flock to him.

And the guy in front of him who didn't dare to show his true colors kept denying him face again and again, which made him quite dissatisfied.

"Hmph..." Liu Yuancheng saw that Lin Li completely ignored his solicitation, and immediately snorted, "What? Are you planning to stop fighting and want to run away?"

"I'm not running away, I'm retreating..." Lin Li said, then looked around and found the fire extinguishers and guards in the distance, their eyes were all focused on him at the moment.

"Hahaha..." Liu Yuancheng was amused by Lin Li's remarks and mocked.

"It's not about running away, it's about retreating, okay, okay... Ever since I broke through to the early stage of the third stage, no thug has ever been able to escape from my hands. I want to see how you can 'retreat' from me."

"That's it! That's really embarrassing. I'm going to break your excellent record today." Lin Li ignored Liu Yuancheng's taunt. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the fire scene.

"Crackling..."

In the raging fire scene, buildings were burned by the fire and collapsed, making bursts of noise.

Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow up the fire.

If there were no fire extinguishers suppressing the raging fire in the fire scene, these blazing flames would have expanded its claws unscrupulously, covering all places under its rule.

Ordinary people would not dare to approach such a terrifying and dangerous fire scene, let alone run into it.

"What is he going to do?"

"Isn't it?"

"This thug is going into the fire!!!"

The fire extinguishers and guards who had been watching Lin Li's movements saw Lin Li running towards the fire. They were initially confused about what the thug wanted to do, but soon they had the answer.

Lin Li rushed into the fierce fire without hesitation. Lin Li, in his elemental body state, could ignore the terrifying flames that others could avoid.

Liu Yuancheng frowned when he saw Lin Li rushing into the fire scene, his figure blending into the raging flames, and his position could no longer be observed with the naked eye.

However, although it cannot be observed with the naked eye, mental perception can still locate Lin Li's location.

Taking off into the air, Liu Yuancheng quickly flew over the fire field. The rolling heat wave hit his face, making him unable to lower his flying altitude. He could only stay in a safe area above the fire field to observe.

Even if he is a practitioner at the beginning of the third stage and uses spiritual energy to cover his body surface and forcefully rush into the fire, he can only last for a few minutes.

To use such a method, the price to pay is not small, so he would not risk entering a fire scene like a sea of ​​fire to capture Lin Li unless it was absolutely necessary.

"If your plan is to escape into the fire, use the sea of ​​​​fire as cover, and then successfully 'retreat', then your wishful thinking will eventually fail...

The spiritual power perception of third-level practitioners is much stronger than that of second-level practitioners. The state of your elemental body is exuding spiritual energy fluctuations all the time.

Although I cannot observe your figure with my naked eyes, with my mental perception, I know your location clearly.

Surrender! You can't slip out of my grasp...eh? ? ? How can it be? ! ! ! "

As Liu Yuancheng talked, he was suddenly stunned for a moment. He was confused at first, and then showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Did the spiritual energy fluctuations disappear? Could it be that he had exhausted all his spiritual energy, and the state of the elemental body was forced to be released, and then... No, it's impossible. If he was burned to death by the fire, how could he be miserable before he died? No screams."

In Liu Yuancheng's perception, the target that he had been targeting disappeared in an instant, which made him very puzzled.

Then, he immediately ordered the members of the fire-fighting team to put out the fire with all their strength.

After several hours of hard work, the fire that burned down the Red Blood Gang's base camp was finally put out.

Black smoke curled up, and the ground was covered with turbid sewage. Liu Yuancheng stood at the last location where his target had existed.

After checking the surroundings, no burnt bodies were found.

"How could he escape?" Liu Yuancheng thought for a long time and couldn't figure out how Lin Li disappeared. In the end, he couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty the City Lord is right! Don't talk too much or you'll get slapped in the face."

Later, Liu Yuancheng told the guards who rushed to the scene and asked them to carefully investigate the attack case of the Red Blood Gang.

Once you have the news, tell him as soon as possible, and then he will fly away and go home.

…………

On the mysterious island surrounded by white mist, a figure made of flames appeared out of thin air.

Back on the mysterious island, with a thought in Lin Li's heart, the state of the elemental body was immediately lifted, and he changed from an inhuman state back to a human form.

Lin Li, who had returned to his human form, suddenly felt exhausted. A battle with a practitioner at the beginning of the third stage was a huge drain on him, both spiritually and physically.

Looking towards the south of the mysterious island, Lin Li couldn't help but mutter to himself. The two-meter-tall tree with fan-shaped leaves and fruits growing out looked like small tomatoes.

"If I want to defeat that guy just now regardless of the cost, that's okay, but it's not necessary."

With a thought, Lin Li disappeared instantly and appeared in front of the spiritual plant covered with spiritual fruits.

He reached out and picked three small tomato-like spiritual fruits from the branches of the spiritual plant, stuffed them directly into his mouth, and ate them.

Not only did this spirit fruit look like a small tomato, it even tasted similar... Lin Li ate three spirit fruits. After a while, he felt the spirit fruit in his stomach continuously releasing spiritual energy.

Use the little spiritual energy in your Dantian to absorb all the spiritual energy released by the spirit fruit.

After a while, the slightly empty Dantian recovered most of its spiritual energy.

As Lin Li said just now, in terms of comprehensive combat power, he would definitely not be able to defeat Liu Yuancheng with his second-level peak cultivation level.

However, if he competes with the opponent in the form of an elemental body, he can quickly recover his spiritual energy by eating spiritual fruits, thereby exhausting Liu Yuancheng's spiritual energy and win the final victory.

But there was no need to do this, because his goal was to defeat the Red Blood Gang and fight Liu Yuancheng, but he just wanted to see the gap between himself and the practitioners at the beginning of the third stage on a whim.

After a fierce battle, when the spiritual energy is almost consumed, you can stop and retreat. There is no need to waste precious spiritual fruits and fight the opponent to the end.

Lin Li ate the spiritual fruit, which restored most of his spiritual energy to his empty Dantian. The uncomfortable feeling disappeared, and he left the mysterious island and returned to his home in Blue Star.

In Dongwu City, there is a magnificent mansion not far from the city lord's palace. There is a plaque hanging on the main door that says Zhao Mansion.

There are many pavilions and pavilions in this mansion, which makes people dazzled.

If someone who is a fool enters the mansion, they will probably lose their way in a short while.

There is a garden in a corner of the mansion, with various exotic flowers and plants planted in the garden.

The variety is one that is rarely seen on the market. It was obviously bought from merchants who came to Dongwucheng from all over the country at a high price.

Two pretty little maids walked into the garden carrying tea and cakes, and walked on the cobblestone path to the pavilion in the garden.

An expensive psychic chandelier hangs in the pavilion. Under the bright light, sitting in front of the stone table is a handsome man with a tall and straight body, a fair face and sharp edges, wearing luxurious clothes.

The two maids who walked into the pavilion carrying tea and cakes put the things in their hands on the stone table. When they left, they secretly glanced at the handsome man who was reading a book.

After the two maids left, a man with a height of 1.9 meters and a burly build wearing servant clothes quickly walked into the garden and walked towards the pavilion.

"Tap, step, step..."

Hearing the rapid footsteps, the handsome man still looked at the ancient book in his hand.

"Young Master." The burly servant walked into the pavilion and greeted him respectfully.

"Zhao Chuan, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Zhao Haoyu, the young master of the Zhao family, asked his trusted servant in a calm tone.

"Master Qi, Li Mi would like to see you." Zhao Chuan replied.

"Oh, him!" After hearing the servant's answer, Zhao Haoyu didn't remember who Li Mi was for a moment.

He thought about it seriously and then remembered that the other party was a civilian who had recently recommended himself to him and wanted to do things for him.

"I asked him to go to Bibo Lake to hunt for treasure. How did he do?"

"..."

Zhao Chuan was silent for a moment, and then replied, "It failed."

"Failed? Such a simple thing would fail. What a waste." Zhao Haoyu said calmly.

With his identity and status, as well as the wealth he possesses, he does not look down upon the property obtained from the treasure hunt in Bibo Lake.

He asked Li Mi to go to Bibo Lake to hunt for treasure, just to test his ability.

As a result, after so many days, Li Mi failed, which made him feel that this civilian who volunteered to join him was not qualified to be his subordinate.

Zhao Chuan, who had served Zhao Haoyu for many years, naturally knew what his young master was thinking now, so he quickly told Zhao Haoyu what he knew from Li Mi.

“Master, it’s actually understandable that Li Mi failed in his treasure hunt this time.

Originally, he had defeated other treasure-hunting teams and was about to obtain the spirit stone mine collected by the White-Scale Diamond Rat, but as a result..."

After Zhao Haoyu listened to what happened from his trusted servant, he took his eyes away from the ancient book in his hand, turned to look at his trusted servant, and said.

"More than half of the manpower was lost. Such a huge loss...?"

"Yes! If it hadn't been for that man attracting the centipede swarm, Li Mi would have been able to complete the task assigned by you, young master."

"There is really nothing we can do when encountering such a thing, but in the end he still failed to complete the test I gave him..."

"Master, Li Mi really wants to do things for you, Master. He failed to complete the test this time. We might as well give him another chance."

Seeing his close servant interceding, Zhao Haoyu smiled and said, "You! You are so kind to your childhood friend."

"..." Zhao Chuan lowered his head and said nothing. At this time, Zhao Haoyu said.

"Okay, for your sake, I'll give him another chance. You go out and tell him, let him go back first, and I will tell him when I need to test him again..."

"Yes." Zhao Chuan was very happy to see that his master was willing to give his childhood playmate another chance. Just as he was about to leave and tell Li Mi who was waiting outside the mansion the good news, Zhao Haoyu shouted Lived him.

"Wait a moment."

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Tomorrow morning, find a way to find out whether Miss Zhu's family has any plans to leave the house recently." Zhao Haoyu ordered.

Hearing this, a flash of hesitation flashed across Li Mi's face, and he said, "Master, I told you to pursue the daughter of the city lord and stop thinking about Miss Zhu's family.

You will be able to lift the grounding in a few days. If this master knows that you are stubborn, I am afraid he will extend your grounding time. "

"..." Zhao Haoyu remained silent and did not answer the words of his close servant.

"Alas..." Upon seeing this, Zhao Chuan knew that Zhao Haoyu had a firm attitude, so he sighed and said, "Okay, young master, I will help you find out about Miss Zhu's recent itinerary tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and left.

When Zhao Haoyu was the only one left in the pavilion, he murmured to himself.

"Although Li Qian, who thinks all about cultivation and competing with others, is very beautiful, she can't compare to Zhu Xinru, who is as gentle as water!"

Recalling Zhu Xinru's gentle temperament and her smiles in his mind, Zhao Haoyu felt that his heart was about to melt.

"When my grounding time is over, Dad will definitely send someone to monitor my movements.

As Zhao Chuan said just now, once the people monitoring me find out that I am looking for Zhu Xinru, they will definitely report the situation to my father as soon as possible.

When the time comes, he will definitely get angry, and then he will be reprimanded and grounded again. I have to take advantage of the time before lifting the grounding to think about countermeasures. "

In the quiet pavilion, a grunting sound could be heard from time to time, echoing the chirping of insects in the flowers around the pavilion.
