Investing in Wang Xuan
This lamp is not large, with the main body about 12 or 13 centimeters tall, resembling a small lantern with a full shape.
It is cast from an unknown black metal and connected at the top by a chain. The end of the chain is a large ring that can be carried in the hand.
"How do I use it?" Wang Xuan weighed it in his hand; it was very heavy and heavy. He estimated that if he smashed it directly on an opponent's head, it would leave a bloody hole.
The lamp body is engraved with various patterns, as well as birds and animals, in an ancient style. The most eye-catching feature is the engraving of a small arrow in the center of the lamp.
Wang Xuan tried injecting some Super Material into it, and the lamp glowed slightly, showing some reaction.
He tried repeatedly and gradually figured out how to use this extraordinary treasure. It wasn't complicated; it required injecting extraordinary substances and accumulating them in the lamp body.
In an era of decaying mythology, this thing would have become an ordinary object. The Sun family most likely collected X substance from Supernatural Planet such as secret realms and blessed lands to activate it.
The Super Material inside has now been depleted, so it's dim and unusable.
"Injecting Mysterious Factor will also work." Wang Xuan tried it. Once the energy began to accumulate and sink into the lamp body, it could be activated at any time.
With flickering flames, Wang Xuan activated the small arrow mark on it with his mind. Runes flowed there, and a dark red arrow was about to fly out!
The most crucial element is the mysterious runes, which target the spiritual realm.
He quickly stopped and extinguished the wick, during which the ancient lamp consumed a considerable amount of energy.
No wonder the lamp went out after the superhuman controlled by the Sun family launched several attacks. In an era of decaying mythology, Super Material was scarce on the New Star, and ordinary people really couldn't afford to use it.
Wang Xuan stopped injecting Super Material. This stuff was incredibly powerful, but it was also like a bottomless pit, never enough to satisfy him.
He felt it necessary to go to Qian An's manor to borrow the Mysterious Factor within the half-copper wall of the Daoist temple to nurture this extraordinary treasure.
Wang Xuan studied it carefully for a long time, exploring it with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, and learned more.
The runes inside the ancient lamp are divided into many layers, and he can only activate the first layer so far!
"This lamp is amazing. The power it has shown so far is just the tip of the iceberg. It is closely related to the spiritual level of the caster."
Wang Xuan's eyes lit up. If all the runes deeper inside the lamp were activated, it would most likely be a terrifying Great Killer Weapon.
This was somewhat unexpected for him; the lamp was mysterious.
"Tomorrow we'll go to the Qian Family and borrow the Inner Scenery Realm to feed it first." Wang Xuan was full of anticipation for the lamp.
Then, he frowned. How could he save Old Chen?
He studied it for a long time and was able to use the lamp to activate the Arrow Feather and light screen, but he didn't know how to retrieve the small arrow from Old Chen's body.
As for the dark red arrow inside his own body, it had long been crushed and obliterated by his wondrous vision, with a faint red light dissipating into the void.
But he dared not use his own extraordinary vision to shake the three small arrows in Old Chen's spiritual realm, for fear of accidentally detonating them.
"Hmm?" Later, he finally figured out some of the tricks of the trade.
After he activated the runes on the base of the ancient lamp, the dark red arrow in Old Chen's mental domain trembled slightly, disintegrating into a faint red halo that was drawn out.
"It can be used like this?"
Whoosh whoosh!
Three small, dark red arrows flew out and were absorbed by the ancient lamp.
The effect was obvious; Old Chen immediately opened his eyes and awoke from his deathly stillness.
"Hiss!" He gasped, feeling a sharp pain in his head. His mental state had been confined for so long, and he was feeling quite uncomfortable.
At the same time, he felt some pain in his arm. During the day, he was in a dazed state and almost had his arm cut off.
"I actually survived?" he exclaimed in surprise. Recalling the dangers he had endured, he gritted his teeth and wished he could immediately find someone to settle scores with.
"The problem is very serious. We've gone up against a super conglomerate. Now it's either them annihilating us, or the two of us slaughtering them."
Wang Xuan gave a brief overview of the situation.
"The Sun family, those bastards, I'll remember you!" Old Chen's gaze gleamed like lightning in the dark room.
He needs to recover from his injuries first. His mental state is relatively okay, but his arm was almost broken, so he needs at least a few days to recover.
Suddenly, the two looked up at the night sky outside the window.
Su City, several dark clouds seemed to drift in, and a massive, terrifying warship, dark and menacing, slowly approached, hovering above Su City.
Moreover, there was more than one ship; they were present in all four directions, which is enough to show how furious the Sun family was.
"This is the stronghold of the Qian Family and Li Family. Although the Sun family is a super conglomerate, they wouldn't dare to offend the public and destroy a megacity with a population of tens of millions. It's just a show of force," Old Chen said in a deep voice, without any panic.
"I still need to get stronger. They're pushing me step by step, forcing me to move forward!" Wang Xuan said, gazing at the night sky.
Although he knew the other side wouldn't overturn the table, wouldn't dare to massacre the city, or leave a trail of blood, the sheer size and intimidation of the warships still instilled a sense of crisis in him.
The Sun family's four giant ships lingered near Su City for a long time before leaving late at night. All parties were paying close attention, sensing the super conglomerate's cold killing intent and determination.
Many people were sleepless, but Wang Xuan slept soundly.
He wasn't afraid. The Sun family's technological weapons were indeed currently unbeatable, but if he were allowed into the city where the Sun family lived, everything would be different.
That night, Old Chen remained silent. He drank from the Earth Immortal Spring and used the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body Secret Technique to heal his injuries, hoping to return to his peak condition in the shortest possible time.
He harbored a burning desire to settle scores with those responsible.
He looked through the messages on his phone and found that some old friends had already burned paper money for him in advance. He had been "killed" again, which made him feel helpless.
In fact, some members of the Sun family were even angrier than him that night. For many years, no core member of a super conglomerate had died.
Tonight, they have lost face. They have been severely provoked. Sun Chengquan, one of the young and middle-aged heirs, died a gruesome death, leaving not even a bone behind.
In the early morning, Su City was still bustling with activity, bathed in the glow of dawn. People hurried to work, and the city was a vibrant hub of traffic, as the megacity of ten million people regained its vitality.
An unusual atmosphere permeated the city, prompting various factions to dispatch forces to investigate and await further developments regarding the extraordinary individuals and the Sun family.
"According to this newspaper, two men fell from a building on Guanghua Road last night, suspected to be an accident..."
This report left everyone speechless. The Sun family gritted their teeth and accepted it; even though two mid-level members had been killed, they couldn't reveal the details.
Soon, the breaking news was released online.
"A spacecraft with the model number S2576 crashed outside Su City. Satellite reconstruction has ruled out the possibility of it being shot down or colliding with other spacecraft, and it was determined to be an accident... We express our deepest condolences and sympathy to the victims."
Even though the Sun family was mentally prepared, they were still almost shocked when one day their core member was "in an accident," something that had never happened before.
Yesterday during the day, they orchestrated the crash of a spaceship that struck Chen Yongjie, but the retaliation came so swiftly.
But can they raise objections? It's impossible to uncover the truth.
At that moment, some people who had been paying special attention to this matter, some members of conglomerates, couldn't help but laugh.
Ling Qiming was in a good mood. Last night, he humbled himself and contacted Sun Rongting, a high-ranking member of the Sun family, but the conversation was very unpleasant. Now he felt particularly relieved.
"I am gazing at the moon above..." At this moment, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sing on the New Moon. He really wanted to talk to the people who were secretly mocking him, but in the end he held back and said, "I will keep a low profile for now and not bother with you."
The Sun family repeatedly checked the surveillance footage of the Fuyao Grand Hotel and retrieved satellite images. Then, they felt a chill run down their spines.
When Sun Chengquan and his men escaped, they clearly encountered an accident, but they couldn't see a single ghost!
What terrified them most was that the two people from the Sun family who accidentally fell from the building truly jumped on their own; no one pushed them. No, one of them first crashed into the roof and died, then resurrected and jumped off the building.
This is unbelievable!
The person from the Sun family responsible for investigating the accident turned pale and reported back to the Sun family.
However, the Sun family's senior management was not surprised. They had watched some of the surveillance footage last night and had their own guesses.
A senior advisor spoke up, saying, "Extraordinary methods should be the astral projection described in ancient books."
"Out of body? Go, invite Mr. Ghost here." Sun Rongting spoke, still calm, playing with the Small Gourd in his hand.
After the sun rose, Wang Xuan and Old Chen walked out of the Health Preservation Hall to have breakfast, which startled everyone who was paying attention to the matter.
Chen Yongjie has woken up. Was he the one who made the move last night?
They had just thought that Wang Xuan, the crocodile hidden underwater, had surfaced, but now things have become even more mysterious.
"The Health Preservation Hall truly lives up to its name. A person who had fainted from severe injuries was full of energy the next day!" Some people exclaimed, observing from a completely different perspective.
"Wang Xuan is probably the more dangerous person. I still believe that he was the one who made the move last night!"
Around nine o'clock, Wang Xuan and Old Chen left the city, which aroused the interest of the Sun family. They really wanted to give them an energy cannon shot, but they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to kill them.
After all, Chen Yongjie didn't even kill him when the spaceship swooped down.
Wang Xuan and Old Chen visited Qian An, returning to the manor. Their current identities were rather sensitive, making Qian An somewhat uncomfortable.
Old Chen looked like he was trying to find out more information from Qian An.
Wang Xuan sat quietly to the side, remaining silent. In fact, his mind had left his body, and he once again touched the half-copper wall in the Daoist temple to steal the Mysterious Matter in the Inner Scenery Realm.
A large number of mysterious factors were drawn in and injected into the ancient lamp.
"Last night, someone was even planning to trade my flesh and blood?" Old Chen learned some information from Qian An and was so angry he almost exploded.
The Sun family is so arrogant and domineering, treating Chen Yongjie like a piece of meat to be sold? His face turned ashen, and his fingers clenched so tightly they lost all color!
Old Chen was furious and wished he could kill the Sun family immediately.
He communicated with Wang Xuan in the spiritual realm, requesting that he also draw upon some Mysterious Factor, hoping to recover more quickly so that he could launch an attack the next day.
Finally, Wang Xuan left satisfied, having fed the ancient lamp he had secretly brought with him.
Zhong Cheng had a very pleasant morning and almost called the woman who said he had bad taste, but he held back in the end.
Zhong Qing said, "Wang Xuan and the others are still in a precarious situation. The Sun family is a behemoth, especially with their close ties to Superstar. The situation is very complicated."
She already knew why Chen the Supernatural was severely injured—it was because of the power of a rare treasure, and there must be more rare treasures in the Sun family's secret vault.
Zhong Cheng whispered, "Do we have any at home? Or... could we borrow one from Old Wang?"
"It's definitely in the secret vault, but we can't open it," Zhong Qing whispered.
"Sis, you really want to lend it? Wow, you're so generous, you didn't scold me?" Zhong Cheng was surprised.
"Great-grandfather is in a deep sleep, and second grandfather is too conservative; there's a high chance he won't cause any trouble. I think Wang Xuan is probably a superhuman, and an extremely powerful one at that. If you were to offer him help now..."
"Last night, it really was Old Wang who made the move?!" Zhong Cheng was utterly shocked, even though there were rumors in the financial circles that the young man was extremely dangerous.
However, many people still didn't quite believe it, because Wang Xuan was too young and thought that he had cured Old Chen at the Health Preservation Hall and helped Chen Yongjie regain his fighting strength.
Then, Zhong Cheng pointed to himself and said, "You want me to deliver the treasure to Old Wang?"
Zhong Qing glanced at him and said, "Do you still want me to deliver it? Anyway, you have a good relationship with him, so there's nothing wrong with going to Su City to see him now. At most, you'll just get scolded by your grandfather and locked up for a few days when you come back."
Zhong Cheng nodded, becoming quite serious, and said, "That's true. At most, I'll just get a beating. But if Old Wang wins this time, I'll have gained a powerful future ally for our Zhong family."
Then he frowned and said, "We can't open the secret vault, but do you have any treasures to give us?"
Zhong Qing whispered, "Before my great-grandfather formed his cicada shell in the secret place, he gave me a leather bag. He said it was a treasure and told me to keep it safe and bring it back. I think I saw him playing with this leather bag in his study before."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Cheng immediately exclaimed, "Old Zhong is too biased!"
In the afternoon, Zhong Cheng arrived in Su City by spaceship and went straight to the Health Preservation Hall. Many people knew that he had a good relationship with Wang Xuan, which had even led to him being secretly mocked by several young people in the conglomerate. So his appearance here was not surprising.
When Old Chen saw the animal skin bag, he didn't sense anything unusual. He was shocked when he touched it. He activated the bag and almost trapped Wang Xuan inside!
If Wang Xuan hadn't reacted quickly, dodged to a distance, and if strange phenomena hadn't appeared around him, he probably would have been put into that glowing animal skin bag.
"No wonder, in the secret land, every time Old Zhong and I were chased and trapped in a desperate situation, after we ran away separately, he was always safe and sound, but I often bled..." Old Chen suddenly realized.
Then, he felt heartbroken.
Having been in the secret realm for so long, the animal skin bag had already accumulated enough Super Material to be used directly.
In the evening, Zhong Cheng left without lingering.
The next two days were peaceful, and the Sun family did not launch an attack.
Old Chen is recovering from his injury and keeping a low profile.
On the morning of the third day, Chen Yongjie suddenly set off and appeared in a city two hundred miles away. Judging from his direction, he was heading towards the Sun family's stronghold!
"The two have separated, and only Chen Yongjie is on the road. Does he dare to attack our Sun family alone? He'll die on the way!"
Meanwhile, some members of the Sun family went to the Health Preservation Hall to try and determine whether Wang Xuan was indeed a superhuman.
However, Wang Xuan acted before them. When Old Chen appeared in another city, he walked towards a large hotel in Su City and sat down at a beverage shop next to it.
Not long after, the person in charge of the Sun family who arrived in Su City inexplicably drowned in the hotel's swimming pool!
The news once again drew attention from all sides, and people knew that the fierce clash between the extraordinary individuals and the Sun family had officially begun!
