Chapter 164 - 163: Wind King Mysterious Clothing, Shocking Thunder Action

Upon receiving two messages, Li Jing reached for his device with a strange expression.

He could understand what Jiang Yini wanted to do.

Basically, it was just a way to win over people’s hearts.

He was prepared to face the challenge, given her cultivation level in the late stage of the Four Realm.

So, what’s Chen Jing mixing in for?

Li Jing was not an ungrateful person, after being taken care of and employed in the patrol bureau, he couldn’t just run away with someone else, could he?

It’s just too deliberate!

Shaking his head, Li Jing put away his device, chose to ignore both messages, and continued washing his dishes.

There’s no getting rid of his relationship with Chen Jing.

He had to rely on Jiang Yini for the manpower and resources of the Management Bureau. He had to fight back as challenges came.

It is not suitable to distance from or get closer to anyone.

In principle, Li Jing didn’t want to cause any more trouble and certainly didn’t wish to become a pawn in someone’s hands.

Now that he has cultivation reaching to the Fifth Boundary, he finally has his own source of confidence.

As for the two bureau chiefs, just let them scheme against each other...

Jiang Yini wants to meet Liu Sisi, he couldn’t refuse.

But why should he invite her?

After all, he and Jiang Yini were not friends, they were only using each other. Why bother getting Liu Sisi involved?

After washing and cleaning the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, Li Jing goes to the living room.

At this time, Liu Sisi was grooming the fur of Stinky Tofu in the living room.

Being fostered by Chen Yuran, it finally enjoyed the treatment a pet dog deserved.

In Chen Yuran’s hand?

Grooming?

Heh!

Even bathing is simply done by filling up the bathtub with water and letting Stinky Tofu jump in to clean itself.

And not allowed to splash water everywhere.

If it made a mess in the bathroom, it would be tightly bound for the whole day and no food was given.

Over there, Liu Sisi saw Li Jing coming out of the kitchen, patted Stinky Tofu on the head to tell it to play on its own and said as she got up.

"Did you contact Yuran yet?"

"Not yet."

Li Jing shook his head and said.

"I’ll contact her later. I have something else to do right now."

"Sure, I won’t bother you."

Liu Sisi nodded and said.

"I’ll go upstairs to take a bath, and then I’ll come down to accompany you."

"Okay."

Li Jing smiled, watched her go upstairs, casually pushed Stinky Tofu’s head away and went to the guest room.

...

In the guest room, Li Jing took out his device, placed it on a cell phone stand, and asked it to establish a link with the supercomputer.

"Little Ai, dig deeper into the background of Jiang Yini, the Director of the Jianghai Management Bureau. Make sure not to leave any trail and organize a background report for me."

"Understood."

Little Ai responded.

Its virtual image appeared on the vertical screen, and the horizontal screen lit up with countless pieces of information flashing quickly.

Li Jing sat down and waited patiently.

He wasn’t planning to explore Chen Jing’s background and relationships, but since he had to interact with Jiang Yini, her background needed to be clarified.

Especially since Chen Jing’s recent message clearly stated that Jiang Yini’s background was not ordinary and had unusual power behind her.

Little Ai was known for its work efficiency.

With the help of the supercomputer, its information processing ability was unlocked and exponentially improved.

It only took a few dozen seconds before one after another file popped up on the horizontal screen.

From Jiang Yini’s birth, to kindergarten, primary school, middle and high school, her history was dug out one after another.

Every detail was crystal clear.

Even her height at different age stages, and whether her measurements changed after adulthood, was clearly recorded.

Regarding Jiang Yini’s growth history, Li Jing briefly glanced over it without much interest, and focused on a file about the Jiang family from the capital.

According to the archives.

The Jiang family is one of the seven major cultivation families in the capital.

The current head of the family, Jiang Liao, has reached the Six Realm of cultivation, and has seven children.

Jiang Yini is the youngest, also known as the seventh of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family has considerable influence in the capital, with many outstanding talents in the clan, most of whom hold various important positions in the capital.

Their great-great-grandfather was a national hero a thousand years ago.

Over a millennium, the Jiang family has burgeoned into a formidable power, and is the only one among the seven cultivation families with an official background.

The Jiang family, along with the other six families, is known as The Seven Great Families, but there is clearly no comparison between them.

With the Jiang family’s background, the other six families put together might not even dare to compete.

Putting aside the Jiang family’s great-great-grandfather.

For a thousand years, the offspring of the Jiang family have been diligently serving Hua Country.

The archives do not mention what the Jiang family has done.

But a family that has existed since the founding of the country and has accompanied Hua Country to prosperity, God knows how many achievements its descendants have made.

The course of history in this world is completely different from before Li Jing’s time travel, without the various hardships of the modern age.

However, the journey of Hua Country has not been easy.

It took a whole seven hundred years to transition from the foundation to prosperity.

The hardships encountered during this period are far beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

It’s worth mentioning that.

Jiang Yini, as the youngest of the Jiang family, is the most talented and rebellious daughter in the family’s millennial history, running away from home to Jianghai at the age of eighteen.

Without going to college, she went straight to the Management Bureau.

It took her ten years to work her way up to the position of deputy director.

Then, in just one more year, she ascended the director’s throne with her exceptional power at the Fifth Boundary level.

During this period, the Jiang family did not provide any assistance to her, but instead set up many obstacles.

Most people in the Jiang family are advancing their careers in the capital.

She is the only one who ran away from home.

Naturally, the Jiang family wants her to return home.

However, Jiang Yini refused to comply and has independently carved out her own path.

Having closely read about Jiang Yini’s background and her struggle, Li Jing felt some genuine admiration for her.

This girl’s character is somewhat similar to Chen Yuran’s, but she is more daring, completely "disconnecting" from the Jiang family when she ran away from home.

Having learnt about Jiang Yini’s background and her struggle, Li Jing sighed deeply.

"Okay, let’s delete these files locally."

"Understood!"

Little Ai obediently responded and cleaned up all the local files, its virtual figure stepped down from the screen.

"Master, according to the local records, Yuran searched for a lot of things using my copy in the past two days. It seems to involve a major case."

At this, Li Jing was a bit taken aback.

He knew that Chen Yuran has been busy working overtime these past two days, but he didn’t know what exactly she was working on. Liu Sisi was also unaware of this.

He had considered sending her a message to ask about it later.

But now that Little Ai mentioned that Chen Yuran had been using the supercomputer to search for a lot of things recently, Li Jing’s curiosity was piqued.

However, on second thought, he lost interest.

Chen Jing had previously sent a message but he didn’t mention that Chen Yuran was on a case, so he probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to get involved.

Sighing lightly, Li Jing spoke.

"I’ll ask about that later. Help me search for a Fourth Boundary defense law, preferably one with reflective or force-dissipating abilities."

"Understood."

Little Ai complied and began the search.

Not even two seconds later, the screen displayed the homepage of the Immortal Learning website, stopping at the purchase page for a Fourth Boundary Defense Law called "Qimen Wind Armor".

Li Jing glanced over the page introduction, seeming quite satisfied.

The price of Qimen Wind Armor is ten million, one million more expensive than Heavenly Saint Xuan Yi.

Its defensive effectiveness is slightly inferior to Xuan Yi’s, but it combines defense, reflection, and force dissipation.

In terms of practical value, it is better than Heavenly Saint Xuan Yi.

Without hesitation, Li Jing reached for the mouse and clicked purchase.

He had specifically asked Jiang Yini for 500 million in cash to buy skills.

Having circulated in the secret realm and stepped into the Fifth Boundary.

After deducting the 15 skill points he had crossed out halfway, he still had a surplus of 35 skill points, enough to learn seven For Realm spells and max them out.

The cash in his pocket was far from enough.

Before entering the Secret Realm, he had less than 20 million cash left. He couldn’t even afford two For Realm spells.

If he needed cash, he might as well go all the way.

Half a billion cash, enough for him to spend for a long time.

Purchase confirmed, the spell formula pops up.

"Active skill Qimen Wind Armor available for learning detected. Would you like to register?"

Register!

"Successfully registered the active skill, Qimen Wind Armor."

The prompt tones rang, and Li Jing decisively maxed out the newly learned Qimen Wind Armor.

Then, another prompt tone resounded in his ears.

"Three skills of the same series have been learned and maxed out, satisfying the conditions for three-in-one boundary breakthrough fusion. Would you like to implement the fusion?"

Li Jing’s mind wavered slightly, confirming fusion.

"Confirm fusion, merging skills Clothing Protection Spirit, Heavenly Saint Xuan Yi, Qimen Wind Armor."

"Fusion successful, obtained boundary-breaking skill, Wind King Mysterious Clothing."

As the prompt tone popped up, Li Jing surprisedly found that his original single-column Limit Breakthrough had turned into two columns, divided into active and passive.

Then, a moment of insight appeared in his mind.

The Wind King Mysterious Clothing has inherited the instant-cast feature of the Clothing Protection Spirit, but its defense effectiveness is only half, while the effects of anti-vibration and de-forcement are not affected.

Having this insight, Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly.

The three-in-one boundary breakthrough, there seems no regular pattern on the surface.

Divine Origin Unification, purely a combination of three auxiliary spells, has slightly increased effectiveness.

Thunder Skill Summary, simply turned into something else.

The essence of the spells did not fuse together, but gave him a passive power that increases the Thunder Skill effect and allows him to freely control five types of Thunder.

The appearance of Wind King Mysterious Clothing, however, allowed Li Jing to successfully capture the pattern.

Heavenly Saint Xuan Yi, with an extraordinary defense power.

Qimen Wind Armor, combines defense, anti-vibration, and de-forcement.

Clothing Protection Spirit has no comparability with these two.

The only remarkable thing is its instant-cast property.

The completion of the boundary breakthrough, precisely inherited the instant-cast property of the Clothing Protection Spirit.

Then Qimen Wind Armor here, inherited anti-vibration and de-forcement.

Heavenly Saint Xuan Yi, inherited the most excellent defense effectiveness.

With such a look, the pattern becomes very clear.

A three-in-one boundary breakthrough will prioritize the best solution of the three combined spells for inheritance complementing, and turn it into a new spell.

Again, referring to Divine Origin Unification, a conclusion can be drawn.

If the fused spells have no complementarity, it is a combination of three spells into one.

Among this, there is another possibility of "mutation".

The emergence of Thunder Skill Summary is because the fusion underwent a "mutation".

Having successfully captured the pattern of boundary breakthrough, Li Jing couldn’t help but smile.

The system is so mysterious, but the result is just a merger function that often appears in games.

Knowing the pattern, he had more ideas.

Mutation fusion is a good prospect.

But it cannot be relied on.

But if there is a pattern, he should take full advantage of it.

With a thought, the Wind King Mysterious Clothing appeared on Li Jing, replacing his original clothing.

Its presentation mode is similar to that of Heavenly Saint Xuan Yi, it is a robe with a great style.

The difference is.

The original white robe with a gold edge is now a whole green robe. Power of wind element is hidden in the robe, which has a very strong repelling force.

After a brief feeling, Li Jing was quite satisfied.

The anti-vibration and de-forcement functions of the Qimen Wind Armor are very powerful.

It was a bit of a pity that the defensive effect of the instant-cast Wind King Mysterious Clothing was reduced by half, but the problem was not significant at all.

He is now in the the Fifth Boundary.

Even if the defense is halved, the defense power of the Wind King Mysterious Clothing is far superior to the Heavenly Saint Xuan Yi, which took him two minutes to build the spell formula when he was in the Four Realm.

Disperse the Wind King Mysterious Clothing, Li Jing glanced at the skills on his panel.

He had already completed a fusion of attack, defense, and auxiliary laws.

What should he learn next?

After a moment of hesitation, he chose to first study the Sky Control law.

Sky Control law and various escape skills belong to the same system.

However, the entry-level of the Sky Control law is low, and it can be learned at the Second Realm.

Escape skills are generally studied in the Third Realm and above.

The reason why they are called escape skills is that one, they are fast, and two, they are difficult to grasp.

To implement an escape skill, one must prepare a spell formula like a regular high-level magic skill.

What is special is that the escape skill formula can be prepared in advance.

After giving it some thought, Li Jing spoke up.

"Xiao Ai, search for a Four Realm magic skill, find me a special Four Realm escape skill, preferably related to Thunder Skill. Also, find me a Four Realm escape skill known for its speed, the faster, the better."

"Received."

Xiao Ai responded and quickly found two Four Realm escape skills.

Li Jing looked up.

Two Four Realm escape skills caught his eye, one was the "Cloud Thunder Movement" valued at 13 million and the other was the "Surprising Swan" valued at 9 million.

The Cloud Thunder Movement is a special escape method.

And it aligns with Li Jing’s requirements, being related to the Thunder Skill.

Once the escape skill is executed, one can transform into thunder and merge into the clouds, temporarily turning normal clouds into thunderclouds and using the thunderclouds as a cover to conceal one’s tracks.

The Surprising Swan, on the other hand, is pure speed.

Essentially, it’s an escape method to save your life.

Once cultivated to the Great Perfection, one can use their Essence Blood as a guide to flee at near-light speed.

Li Jing was very pleased with the Surprising Swan.

The Cloud Thunder Movement, however, was a bit of regret as it had big restrictions on its execution.

It requires the presence of clouds to be considered a special escape method.

If the sky were clear without a single cloud, the Cloud Thunder Movement would be a striking thunderbolt that couldn’t be more conspicuous.

Compared to the peculiar escape skill of the Bookless that could come and go without a trace, the Cloud Thunder Movement was like an incompetent younger brother.

However, Li Jing had no plans to choose another one.

Special escape methods are scarce anyway.

To find one that was related to Thunder Skill—how rare was that?

And after Xiao Ai’s screening, it was basically the best.

Other special escape methods that met his requirements were probably non-existent.

Li Jing clicked to purchase the Cloud Thunder Movement and the Surprising Swan respectively. He quickly learned the two Escape Skills, promptly spending 10 Skill Points to max them out.

"More than three same-system skills have been learned and maxed out, meeting the three-in-one Limit Breakthrough fusion requirements. Should the fusion be performed?"

"Confirm fusion. Fusion the Sky Control law, Cloud Thunder Movement, Surprising Swan."

"Fusion successful, gained Limit Breakthrough skill, Surprising Thunder Movement."

Upon receiving the new limit breaking skill, Li Jing glanced at the panel.

The Surprising Thunder Movement has an active nature.

And it’s not surprising at all.

The Surprising Thunder Movement possesses the instantaneous properties of the Sky Control law, followed by the special effect of transforming into thunder from the Cloud Thunder Movement, as well as the super high escape speed of the Surprising Swan.

Like the Wind King Mysterious Clothing, the instantaneous Surprising Thunder Movement only bears half the effect.

To achieve the maximum effect, one needs to construct the magic skill formula in advance.

However, even with only half the effect, the escape speed of the Surprising Thunder Movement easily surpasses the Sky Control law.

If it operated at full speed, it would even be faster than controlling the Linglong Tower!

However, this is not the main point.

The main point is.

Li Jing could clearly feel that the Surprising Thunder Movement is reinforced by the Thunder Method.

Aside from astonishing speed, it allowed him to morph into five different kinds of thunder as he pleased!

Li Jing was amused right then.

He had deliberately asked Xiao Ai to find a Thunder Skill related special escape method, all for the reinforcement of the Thunder Skill.

The Thunder Skill didn’t disappoint him.

As long as it’s Thunder Skill-related, there is reinforcement.

Because he was indoors and Xiao Ai and the supercomputer were in front of him, Li Jing didn’t dare to attempt a live demonstration rashly.

Damaging the guest room didn’t matter, but Xiao Ai and the supercomputer absolutely must not be damaged.
