643 The Genius Organization (1/2)
What happened in the second layer of the Abyss Brink brought people from the mainland to investigate. The conclusion was that although the cracks were expanding at a slow pace, it would take at least five years for the creatures from the other side to enter the Abyss Brink. The mainland even gathered a group of demigods to seal the space. Tens of techniques were used, but none of them worked.
The news soon spread and many transcendent- levels in the community found out about it. Besides the core zones, even the safe zones heard of the story. Under the Union Government's strict orders, the news did not spread to people below transcendent-level. Lin Huang could sense that the crisis was getting more intense. He heard about the catastrophe that had happened 800 years ago from Mr. Fu. If something similar happened, even Virtual Gods might not survive the disaster. He knew very well that the five-year period was not just hearsay.
”Seems like imperial-level isn't enough anymore. I must get to Virtual God or even True God within five years!” Lin Huang gave himself a new target. He did not have the ambition of saving the world, at least not now. All he hoped for was not to die in the coming war. Throughout the coming days, besides sleeping, Lin Huang spent his time training his telekinesis. His usual three meals a day were consolidated into a single breakfast for him. He even used his telekinesis to order take-out food for himself. If the lack of food did not affect his health, he might have even skipped breakfast. Skipping meals for a week would not affect holy fire-level humans, but it would be detrimental if it exceeded more than a week.
On the second day after the news of the Abyss Brink broke, Lin Huang had broken through level-3 of Seamless and managed to divide 3,000 threads. He had arrived at the Devil's Psykid's level. After that, he spent a week achieving the division of 8,000 strands. He could finally slow down at level-4 of Seamless training. Although his Divine Telekinesis was powerful, his spirit was restricted by his low combat level which resulted in greater thread division.
However, after ten days of non-stop training, Lin Huang's telekinetic power was strong enough to kill the immortal-level rank-6 Devil's Psykid that he had encountered earlier. Within that week, Hu Lu had ordered two supreme telekinetic weapons made of 360 flying daggers. By then, he had more than 1,000 telekinetic flying daggers with him. With the three weapons, his combat strength in telekinesis was nothing lower than his Sword Dao's.
After the ten days in Sweep City, Yao Lan finally contacted Lin Huang again. She sent a short message: ”8 p.m. tonight, Sweep Gourmet. Room 301. There's something good for you.”
He was not surprised that Yao Lan knew he was in Sweep City. After all, the city was the Yao family's territory, and nothing could escape them. Since his training had stagnated these two days, Lin Huang agreed to meet her right away since he was not busy anyway.
At 7.50 p.m., he arrived at the Sweep Gourmet ten minutes before the agreed time. A female staff brought him to Room 301. Just as the staff was serving him tea, Yao Lan walked into the room with a young man who looked like he was in his mid-twenties. The man was a rank higher than Yao Lan on immortal-level rank-4. Lin Huang had his guard up. Just in one glance, Lin Huang could tell that the man was also a supreme genius and his ability might exceed immortal-level rank-9.
”Lin Xie, let me introduce you guys. This is Huangfu Hao from the Huangfu family,” Yao Lan introduced the both of them.
”Hao Zi, this is the Lin Xie that I told you about.”
The Huangfu family was the second most prominent family in Sweep City whereby their overall ability was level with the Yao family, and they were not too far apart. Lin Huang had heard of Huangfu Hao before. He was a supreme genius among the Huangfu family's younger generation.
”I heard from Xiao Lan that you have a mind-blowing ability. Attack me with all you have,” Huangfu Hao challenged directly after checking Lin Huang out.
”Hao Zi, let's eat first…” Yao Lan frowned.
”Xiao Lan, I know you would prefer to take this slow, but you know that I'm impatient. I'm used to finishing business first.” Huangfu Hao raised his hand to stop Yao Lan from talking. Then he looked at Lin Huang.
”If you manage to win my trust, I'll apologize for my absurd attitude later.”
”So, this is the 'good' stuff you told me about?” Lin Huang raised his eyebrow as he looked at Yao Lan.
”This guy has a low EQ. Please don't take it personally,” Yao Lan explained helplessly.
”Don't mind him. Let's eat first. We'll talk about it later.”
”We don't have to do that. Let's get straight to business.” Lin Huang took a sip of his tea and put the teacup down.
