After leaving school and after Sun Xin left, Chen Shouyi took the opportunity to suggest an ice-cream date.

Zhang Shaoyue’s face was filled with shyness, but she didn’t reject it.

She was very beautiful. If one likened women to water, some women would be muddy water, and some would be a clear spring.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Shaoyue belonged to the latter category.

Yet, Chen Shouyi actually discovered that although he was in high spirits, he wasn’t as excited as he had imagined. Just this month, the bizarre experiences he had had already made him a mature young man from an inexperienced youth.

After that, when he was returning home, Chen Shouyi chose another alternative road, and it caused him to pass by an unfinished building. All of a sudden, the Book of Knowledge in his sea of consciousness flashed.

At the start, Chen Shouyi couldn’t be bothered with this. But after finishing today’s homework and practice, when he was about to sleep, it was unknown why but he suddenly thought of this phenomenon.

Ever since the Book of Knowledge had fused with his body, it had been very quiet, like a dead object. If he didn’t summon it, it wouldn’t have any response.

Because he was thinking about this bizarre thing, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. In the end, he couldn’t control it. He wore his clothes and sneaked out of his house without alerting anyone.

He glanced at the time. It was already 12.30 am.

Dongning City was a little city, so its nightlife was extremely lacking.

At such times, there were not many humans around. The streets were empty and there would only be one or two cars occasionally speeding past.

That unfinished building wasn’t far from here. After crossing a few streets, Chen Shouyi soon arrived there.

Even he himself didn’t know why he came here. It was like there was a mysterious energy driving him to come here.

Staring at the building before him, he gritted his teeth and walked over.

If it was in the past, he would definitely not enter such a dark and gloomy corner.

However, strength gave him confidence. As long as he didn’t encounter opponents who were martial apprentices, even if there was a group of ordinary people, they wouldn’t be his opponents at all. If he released his control and fought to kill, he could basically kill them with a single strike.

There were no street lamps here, darkness was everywhere.

He picked up a wooden rod that was tossed aside on the ground, enabling him to feel gustier.

This incomplete building was very big. It originally was supposed to be a business plaza.

That year, which was three years ago, when this building first started to be built, it caused a huge commotion in the surroundings.

Sadly, only this terrible mess was left behind in the end. The boss had long since run away.

Chen Shouyi slowly walked step by step, and the reaction from the Book of Knowledge grew more intense, flashing repeatedly. In addition, he had no idea why his body felt warmer and warmer.

It slowly felt like he was in a hot spring, and the warmth of the water flowed all over his entire body.

The remnant fatigue he always felt after cultivation had been alleviated to quite a large degree. The more he walked, the more effortless he felt.

Following the unknown feeling of attraction, he rushed straight to the underground carpark.

This place was covered in darkness. He wasn’t able to see his five fingers even when he stretched out his hand in front of his eyes. He took out his handphone and switched on the light as he carefully advanced.

He merely walked for over ten seconds when the light of his phone started to flash before dissipating completely.

Chen Shouyi hurriedly pressed the buttons, but his phone showed no reactions.

At this moment, he saw a faint ball of light from the corner of his eyes.

“What is that?”

He was startled, his heart pounded rapidly as he tried his best to see it clearly. However, that light was considerably weak and indistinct. There was basically no way for him to know what that was.

He held the wooden rod in his hand tightly as he continued advancing.

He continued walking twenty to thirty meters, and his body suddenly stiffened as his footsteps came to a halt. His wooden rod fell from his hand, causing a clanging sound that reverberated throughout this quiet parking lot.

However, Chen Shouyi didn’t move at all. It was like he wasn’t aware.

His eyes were wide open as he stared at an area about tens of meters ahead.

There was a grassy area like a mirage floating on the surface, emitting a faint light.

It was only about one square foot and two meters tall. The bottom of the grassy area fused with the cemented ground, appearing like this grassy area had grown out from the cement here.

“An undiscovered space channel!” Shock filled his heart.

Through the internet and television programs, he had seen space channels before. There were large-scale space channels and small-scale ones. However, none of them could be compared to the one he saw with his own eyes.

“But why would a space channel appear in a place like this?” He quickly calmed down.

If he remembered correctly, this unfinished building was built three years ago. It also meant that the space channel had formed recently.

This also indicated that ever since that space channel closed twenty years ago, a new space channel opened up after no incident for the past twenty years.

He suddenly recalled the latest news: A barbarian in disguise was in Dongning City. “No wonder the incidents of creatures appearing from the Other World increased in frequency recently.”

However, he didn’t think too much about it at this moment.
