Chapter 28: Condensing Steel into a Sword

Looking at the sky, Chen Yusheng turned around and walked back into the shopping mall.

This time, he did not continue practicing the Thunder Method, but instead found a steel pipe weighing over ten jin.

Gripping the steel pipe, Chen Yusheng immediately circulated his True Qi, stimulating the meridians and acupoints in his lungs; the True Qi within his body was quickly converted into metal-attribute True Qi.

As the metal-attribute True Qi surged madly through his meridians into his palm, the steel pipe in his hand immediately began to deform rapidly.

After about ten minutes and the consumption of several dozen strands of True Qi, the steel pipe in his hand had completely transformed into a long sword.

This long sword was created by Chen Yusheng using a Five Elements Technique to re-smelt, shape, and solidify the metal.

Inside the sword body, Chen Yusheng also used True Qi to outline several dozen runes, which could allow his True Qi to fill the entire sword body without any obstruction.

Hum!

Chen Yusheng abruptly injected True Qi into the long sword.

The next moment, a sharp Sword Qi instantly covered the entire long sword, making the blade appear as if it had grown a size larger out of thin air.

The Sword Qi flickered continuously on the blade, its edge fully exposed; one look was enough to tell it was sharp to the extreme.

Chen Yusheng held the long sword, looked left and right, and then walked over to an iron rack.

He swung it casually.

Pfft!

With a soft sound, the iron rack was easily sliced into two halves by the long sword in his hand, just like tofu.

"Clatter!"

Only after Chen Yusheng withdrew the sword did the iron rack completely break apart, and the items piled on it fell one after another, emitting a chaotic clattering sound.

"True Qi is indeed far more powerful than primordial energy."

Putting away the long sword, Chen Yusheng found another piece of iron and personally crafted a scabbard for it.

After finishing the scabbard, he did not stop to rest, but instead began to practice other combat methods.

Although the techniques he practiced in his previous life were primarily the Golden Light Incantation and Thunder Method.

But besides those, he was also proficient in Wind Blade Technique and various other Five Elements Techniques.

Among the Five Elements Techniques, the fire-attribute mainly included Fireball Technique, Fire Arrow Technique, Fire Shield Technique, Fire Dragon Technique, and so on.

The water-attribute included Water Ball, Water Arrow, Water Shield, Water Dragon, etc.; the control methods were basically the same as the fire-attribute techniques, only the attributes and power differed.

The operation methods for the techniques of the other elements were also much the same.

After practicing all the techniques he knew from his previous life from beginning to end, Chen Yusheng finally felt that he had enough confidence to deal with others.

In the past, when surrounded and attacked by a group of Ability Users, he had no other choice but to run away.

But now, no matter which Ability User dared to come and surround him again, it would be pure suicide.

His strongest killing move—the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique—was not just empty talk.

Ordinary Thunder Method was already the most powerful in terms of attack among all Taoist techniques, and his Yin-Yang Lightning Technique had more than four times the power of ordinary Thunder Method; the level of terror could be imagined.

If he could widen his meridians again to make the True Qi circulation speed faster, the power of the Thunder Method he unleashed could be raised by another large margin.

After fully demonstrating all his techniques, Chen Yusheng began his closed-door cultivation to refine True Qi.

He planned to cultivate his True Qi to one thousand strands next, and then open up a portion of the meridians and acupoints in his body.

According to the records in the Refining Essence into Qi Chapter, this way, his cultivation could officially break through to the second level of Qi Refining.

After his cultivation broke through to the second level of Qi Refining, the quality of his True Qi would improve significantly, the power of his techniques would be stronger, and his Spiritual Power would also grow accordingly.

By then, he would no longer need to put Zombie Crystals into his mouth to absorb them during cultivation; he could cultivate just by holding them in his hand.

Just as Chen Yusheng was hiding in the city area, silently cultivating and increasing his strength.

Inside the Fubei Base, a middle-aged man received a phone call; after hanging up, he was so excited he almost jumped up on the spot.

"Everyone, good news, incredible good news..."

Not long after, all the high-level officials of the base rushed to the conference room.

"Everyone, after we reported the intelligence about the Zombie King appearing here, the higher-ups have decided to send five of the top ten Top-tier Ability Users in the country, plus two hundred elite Ability Users from the top five hundred in the country to support us!"

"In addition, the higher-ups will also transport a large amount of weapons and ammunition; this time, we will definitely be able to completely eliminate that Zombie King!"

"Good, that's great!"

Hearing this news, everyone's faces revealed expressions of wild joy.

Ever since the people from the He Family discovered the Zombie King, they, the high-level officials of the base, had not had a single day of peace.

Now that the higher-ups were preparing to send a large group of Top-tier Ability Users to clear out the Zombie King, it was truly a timely help for them.

Top-tier Ability Users were simply not comparable to ordinary Ability Users.

At this moment, many people in the conference room showed relaxed smiles.

The pressure they had been under these days was truly too great; now, hearing such news, everyone felt a sense of relief.

"Old He, how is your third son doing now?"

At this time, a middle-aged man looked at the middle-aged man surnamed He beside him and asked.

The middle-aged man surnamed He who was asked sighed softly: "My third son is still the same; the doctor says he likely won't last more than two years."

"Can't even a Healing Ability User cure him?" someone asked in confusion.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "We have already had the country's top Healing Ability User, Liu Qingling, look at him, but it was completely useless."

"She said my son has a congenital heart disease; although her healing ability can cure various injuries, congenital heart disease does not count as an external injury, so there is simply no way to treat it."

"It's like no matter how strong a healing ability is, it's impossible to make humans regrow a tail that disappeared back in ancient times."

"Then what should be done now?" someone asked.

"Originally, there was a matching heart donor to perform a heart transplant for my son, and combined with healing abilities, the success rate would have been very high. Unfortunately, that donor should be dead by now. There's no other way, so I can only have my third son marry a few more wives to carry on the family line."

Hearing this, a middle-aged man beside him nodded: "Your eldest and second sons have both turned into Sangshi; now that only your third son is left, you should indeed save a bloodline for him."

"Indeed, the third one has grown up; it is time to carry on the family line." The middle-aged man surnamed He nodded, though there was no smile on his face.

"Old He, hasn't your son already awakened an ability? Could it be that awakening an ability cannot cure his heart disease?"

"My son awakened the Petrification Ability, which is of no use at all for heart problems; if it were a Fire Ability, there might have been some hope."

"That is truly a pity."

Hearing this, the others could not help but shake their heads.

"I heard that your son is going to marry Widow Li's daughter, Li Ruixi; is that true?"

"Yes, Widow Li took the initiative to agree to this marriage with my family, so I could not refuse." The middle-aged man smiled as he spoke, but deep in his eyes, a trace of gloom flashed by.

He originally had three sons, but after the apocalypse broke out, only this one remains.

As a Top-tier Ability User ranked in the top hundred nationwide, even though he is one of the people in charge of the Base, he cannot even cure his own son's illness.

With great difficulty, he found a heart donor who was a match for his son, but he did not expect that the person was actually a classmate of Widow Li's daughter, Li Ruixi, and had been secretly let go by Ruixi.

In a fit of rage, he went directly to the Li Family. Li Ruixi's father had long since turned into a Sangshi, leaving only her and her mother to rely on each other; her mother is only an intermediate Ability User and has no status at all in the Base.

Compared to a Top-tier Ability User like him, the gap in strength is simply worlds apart.

Since Li Ruixi let go of the donor who could have saved his son's life, he would make Li Ruixi marry into his family and bear his son a child.

Not only that, once Li Ruixi marries into the He Family, he will definitely not let her mother off easily either.
