Su Li's Speculation

Su Li withdrew the hand that was about to throw away the flyer and stared at it carefully. After a moment, he spotted something interesting on it.

It was a picture of a massive dark-golden pillar. The pillar was at least three meters long and thick enough for several people to wrap their arms around. Dense patterns covered its surface. The picture offered no clue as to its exact material, but based on feel alone, Su Li knew it was extraordinary!

The note beneath the picture was also quite interesting--

An ancient burial object of an emperor from the Great Xia Kingdom. Its surface is often kept at a constant temperature and is impervious to water and fire.

"There's an eighty percent chance this thing triggered the new mission!" After looking at it for a while, Su Li was basically certain that the pillar on the flyer had triggered the new mission.

And that pillar was very likely some part of the Celestial God's body!

As for which part...

Su Li had an ominous idea in mind!

However, judging from the Celestial God's size as described in the Origin Record of the Celestial God, three meters was far too short!

"I can't think about this anymore. If I keep thinking, I won't want to do this mission. These are all Resource Points!" Su Li shook his head, shaking away some wild thoughts.

"The problem now is that this thing is in a museum. How am I supposed to get my hands on it? Do I have to rob it?"

"Although this is only the Virtual Universe, and the level of technology here isn't so advanced that I can't see its limits like on Gorol Star, when I think about it, doing this still wouldn't be very good. I'm a good person, after all..."

After thinking for a long time, Su Li still couldn't make up his mind.

In the end, Su Li decided to think about it later. The museum wouldn't open for another week anyway, so he still had plenty of time!

No matter what, if he wanted that pillar, he would have to wait until the museum opened. Otherwise, he was all alone in this world. No matter how strong his individual power was, he wouldn't be able to find out where they kept the pillar in a short time!

Real Universe, Donghai University, Dormitory 414.

Su Li slowly opened his eyes, pretending that he had just finished cultivating.

"Su Li's awake!"

Someone shouted, and in the next second, Su Li saw Zheng Hongyu, Zhang Yu, and Zhao Shengkai pounce toward him.

The three of them had actually been watching him the entire time!

"How was it? How was it?" Zheng Hongyu asked impatiently.

"How was what?" Su Li smiled faintly and asked as if he hadn't understood anything.

"Oh, come on, Boss! Are you trying to drive us crazy? Of course we're asking about the effects of the Breathing Technique!" Seeing that Su Li seemed intent on teasing them, the fat on Zhang Yu's face twisted slightly.

Zhao Shengkai didn't say anything, but the way he kept staring at Su Li made it clear that he was also desperate to know the result.

"It's nothing special, really. It just guides cosmic energy to strengthen the body. But don't worry about that yet. Let's talk about the principles behind the Breathing Technique first!"

Su Li thought for a moment and said, "Through the Breathing Technique, we know that cosmic energy comes in many forms. Sunlight is the most common kind. Besides that, there are various types of radiation and all kinds of Void Energy, such as..."

"Okay, okay!" Zheng Hongyu interrupted Su Li's rambling. "We know all that. We want to know the result!"

"Fine. The effects are actually pretty good!" Seeing that the three of them were about to explode, Su Li decided not to tease them anymore.

"After practicing the Breathing Technique, I sensed the existence of those energies and successfully guided them into my body. Right now, I feel filled with strength!"

"Seriously? Is it really that mystical?" Zhang Yu asked doubtfully. "But that expert said that people practicing the Breathing Technique for the first few times were unlikely to sense the energy, let alone guide it!"

"So that expert was only talking about ordinary people. But in this world, there's a kind of person called a genius!" Su Li said calmly.

Zhang Yu: "..."

You usually act all cheerful, but when it matters, you really know how to twist the knife without mercy!

"Fine, Su Li. We're both top students in Dormitory 414, and you've already reached this point. I can't fall behind either!" Zhao Shengkai suddenly became chuunibyou-like. After saying that, he immediately packed up his things, grabbed his schoolbag, and walked out.

"Did Old Zhao get provoked?" Su Li asked helplessly.

"Yeah. Your learning speed is seriously abnormal, Boss!" Zheng Hongyu said helplessly. As far as he knew, with Su Li's speed, it was hard to say whether anyone in their tiny dormitory—or even Donghai University as a whole—could match him!

However, Zheng Hongyu wasn't overly surprised. Su Li's academic performance had always ranked near the top. In a sense, that was also proof of his learning ability.

"Mm..."

Su Li nodded thoughtfully but didn't say anything.

Su Li had deliberately created a genius persona for himself. That way, it would be easier for him to bluff his way through any unusual situations in the future.

Besides, Superhumans had already appeared in the real world. Su Li didn't want to keep pretending to be an ordinary person. Starting out as a low-level Superhuman and gradually working his way up to the higher levels didn't seem too bad!

However, that reminded him: on Earth, what level did the strongest Superhuman possess?

Su Li's previous self-supposition had been that Superhumans were a massive group, with plenty of powerful figures on Earth, while he was still weak.

But after seeing Ye Mohan take office as the director of the Donghai City Detective Bureau, Su Li's thoughts had changed.

After all, there were only a few cities in Great Xia Kingdom more important than Donghai City. Since Ye Mohan could become the director of the Donghai City Detective Bureau, her ability had to place her among the very top of Great Xia Kingdom's Superhuman community.

If E+ was already an upper-level standard, then did D-Class Superhumans exist in the real world?

Probably... right?

After thinking for a while, Su Li simply stopped. No matter what Earth in reality was like, Su Li had no intention of causing trouble. Living cautiously like this, quietly developing while watching himself grow stronger day by day, was actually pretty good!

With the Virtual Universe, Su Li wasn't worried about being bored to death.

If he felt restless, he could go to Primal Star. And now that Tianling Star had appeared—a planet whose environment was so similar to Earth's—it would also be a good place to cause trouble!

"Boss, tell me about this place!" Zhang Yu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Okay!"

After taking the A4 paper Zhang Yu handed him and glancing at it, Su Li began talking nonstop.
