Chapter 74

If he still had that super-strong body from the cultivation world, how could he be restrained by this mere bit of lightning power?

But his memories absolutely could not be allowed to be read so barbarically by external forces; otherwise, it wouldn't just be a simple matter of information leakage—if there was even one slip-up during this process, his brain would likely be churned into a pulp by the opponent's ability.

"Initiate overclocking synchronization mode."

He decisively recited this to himself.

... Overclocking synchronization mode failed... System reset fusion degree 100%... Reset system?...

A mechanical, wooden voice immediately echoed in Wang Yu's mind.

"Reset system immediately."

... System resetting... Reset successful... Unknown dangerous energy detected invading host's brain... Scanning host's entire body... Host detected to have lost control of body... Host is in life-threatening danger...

... Activating automatic protection mechanism, system beginning to take over host's body... Activating overclocking synchronization mode... Temporarily stimulating dopamine secretion, temporarily adjusting mental power upper limit by 215.9%...

... Mental shockwave charging at full power... Beginning forceful expulsion of unknown dangerous energy... Ten, nine, eight...

"... What are you doing... Hurry, stop, our two minds are linked together now; if you do this, we will both become idiots!" The golden-haired beauty seemed to have discovered Wang Yu's mental abnormality and suddenly screamed, her words filled with extreme fear.

But Wang Yu, at this moment, was no longer able to stop.

Once the countdown in his mind reached zero, a powerful shockwave transformed into two beams of white light from Wang Yu's eyes, shooting out and plunging directly into the golden-haired woman's searing white pupils.

A loud "Boom" sounded.

Wang Yu only felt his body grow hot, and before his eyes was nothing but endless white light; he lost consciousness immediately.

Not long after, at a secret international meeting on Blue Star, representatives from a major Western power and China were arguing until their faces were red and their ears were hot, spittle flying everywhere.

One side claimed China had kidnapped their country's only A-rank ability user and demanded China return them immediately.

The other side claimed a certain Western country had sent an A-rank ability user to sneak into a secret China base and murder extremely important research personnel, demanding the Western country pay astronomical compensation.

In the end, the matter was left unsettled under the joint mediation of other countries, but the representatives of both nations appeared aggrieved, having suffered great losses.

Wang Yu slowly opened his eyes, and after seeing the scene before him clearly, he couldn't help but gasp and sit upright.

He was actually lying on a stone bed, inside a bluestone room.

In the room, besides the stone bed and a set of stone table and stools, there was only a simple wooden book; apart from that, there was nothing else at all.

Where is this...

Wang Yu subconsciously took a deep breath, and suddenly his eyes widened into circles. When he opened his mouth again, he actually exhaled a vast expanse of white gas.

He hurriedly jumped off the bed and looked himself up and down: green long robes, a tall, sturdy body.

Wang Yu was still somewhat incredulous; he formed a seal with one hand and began chanting under his breath.

With a "Puff," a wisp of flame several inches high emerged before him.

He could use spells!

He had indeed returned to his body in the Setan cultivation world, and it even looked completely unscathed.

Wang Yu was both shocked and delighted. He quickly checked his body inside and out, and then took two storage bags from his bosom—one gray, one yellow.

The two were left behind by City Lord Huang and the ugly man who had tried to rob him, respectively.

Wang Yu swept his consciousness through the two storage bags, and his expression became strange.

He put away the gray storage bag, injected mana into the yellow one, and then turned it upside down, causing a small pile of items to spray out from the bag's mouth.

If he remembered correctly, when he left this world, this storage bag, besides containing that silver hammer artifact, two black cylinders filled with poison, a few bottles of unknown medicinal powder, and a few talismans, should not have had anything else.

But at this moment, besides those items, how did there come to be an extra book with a red cover, as well as seven or eight red medicine bottles?

"Fire Spirit Art."

Wang Yu picked up the book, took a look, and subconsciously flipped to the first page, glancing at it for a few moments.

Eh, it was extremely simple and easy to understand, even clear at a glance!

Just then, the mana in his body subconsciously began to circulate according to the incantations in the book. After one major cycle, there was not the slightest obstruction.

Wang Yu was somewhat bewildered. He quickly flipped the pages of the book in his hand to the second level of the Fire Spirit Art, and the mana in his body continued to circulate according to the second-level incantations, still extremely smoothly, as if it had run through them countless times before.

The third-level Fire Spirit Art incantations were also understood at a glance, and the mana circulation was unobstructed.

Wang Yu almost threw the book in his hand away directly.

By this time, how could he not understand? During the period when his consciousness was absent, this body had actually switched to cultivating this Fire Spirit Art, and it had even reached the third level of Qi Refinement, and it seemed to have made the mana in his body even more refined.

According to the time flow calculation of the two worlds, his consciousness had been away from this body for nearly two months; who had been in control during this period?

Wang Yu was extremely horrified.

He threw the book back onto the ground and picked up a red medicine bottle, pouring out a bright red pill.

The surface of this pill was as smooth as jade, but it had a faint white, clear pattern. As soon as it was poured into his palm, a layer of pale red light emerged.

"Entry-rank pill."

Even though Wang Yu had never seen the real thing, he hadn't read so many miscellaneous books in vain; he recognized the origin of the item in his hand at a glance and, shocked, poured the red pill back into the bottle.

According to the miscellaneous books, pills above entry-rank must be stored in specially made bottles, otherwise their medicinal properties would quickly dissipate.

Wang Yu turned the medicine bottle over and saw three small black characters on the bottom.

"Fire Cloud Pill."

It was indeed an entry-rank pill.

Wang Yu let out a long breath; far from feeling happy, his expression became even more suspicious.

He remembered very clearly how his consciousness had returned to Blue Star.

Could it be that all of this had something to do with that Elder Li Huo?

If that were truly the case, his current situation was likely still extremely dire.

While pondering, Wang Yu put the items before him back into the storage bag, pushed open the stone room door, and walked out.

What came into view in the distance was an endless sea of green forest, and nearby, three sides were all sheer cliffs.

The stone room was actually built on a protruding cliff, standing alone as the only one.

But none of this was what attracted Wang Yu's gaze the most.

At this moment, his gaze was entirely drawn by the strange scene in the high sky in the distance.

Beside a crimson sun, a massive, yellowish celestial body was strikingly floating there.

"Setan."

Wang Yu murmured in a voice that was almost a groan; his entire person was completely lost in a daze.

In this cultivation otherworld, he had actually seen the Setan celestial phenomenon again, identical to the one on Blue Star, as if they were twins.
