Don't Say I Didn't Warn You
Although I knew there would be quite a few, a total of 300 units still far exceeded my expectations!
While overjoyed, Lu Li also became more vigilant:
"The Jiu Shan Sect caused an astronomical disaster when they drew 100 units last time. What impact will this time have?"
There was no major crisis warning in his Sea of Consciousness, but the puppet had already started the helicopter, so Lu Li decided to lead the team away first.
Just after takeoff, a series of earthquakes began to occur on the ground.
The earthquake had a magnitude of about five or six, which is considered a moderate earthquake, and it did not cause much damage.
But it caused the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain to flow back into the city.
In addition, New Orleans is located in a low-lying area, so the entire city was flooded and turned into a vast swamp.
Although it was still pretty bad, it was far from being a "cosmic ray bombardment" like the last one.
Lu Li pondered this for a moment:
"It must be that the spiritual energy of Blue Star has never been mined or used, so it not only has abundant reserves but also greater resilience!"
If we compare spiritual energy to the blood of a planet, then the other world, having been ravaged by various Cultivator for thousands of years, is like a weak patient.
Blue Star, on the other hand, is a young man who has been practicing martial arts since childhood; taking a little bit himself won't cause much of a problem.
Of course, no matter how small the impact, it still exists.
Looking down at the city that had turned into a vast ocean, Lu Li felt extremely fortunate that he was in the Star Alliance Country.
The boy's values were simple and unpretentious; he believed that any heinous act was acceptable as long as it took place in the Star Alliance Country.
The helicopter quickly flew away from the area, and Lu Li put the matter out of his mind, happily preparing for the spirit-splitting machine.
Sensing their master's intentions, the six flying swords quickly surrounded them and frolicked around.
"Come on~ I want to see just how much you can eat~"
Lu Li has never been a stingy person, especially when it comes to this big win.
He directly extracted spiritual energy from the Kunlun Mirror and poured it into the flying swords without limit, as if he wanted to stuff them full.
The flying swords were extremely excited, accepting everything offered up and devouring it like sponges.
Each person absorbed 20 units before reaching their limit and being unable to eat anymore. They wobbled back to their master's backpack and fell into a deep sleep.
Xia Weijun once said that these flying swords were of the highest rank, fifth grade. And this current slumber was actually a transformation!
"Evolving to the fourth rank will allow them to injure even those at the Golden Body Realm..."
Lu Li was somewhat expectant, and then infused all the puppets with one unit of spiritual energy.
They are essentially "magical implements," and naturally, there is a great need for such divine objects.
The moment it was infused, the blue light in the pupils intensified, and the hardness and explosive power were significantly enhanced.
Especially for the two leaders, Number 0 and A'da, ordinary flying swords probably wouldn't be able to do anything to them!
The improvement is significant, but the consumption is also rapid.
300 units of inspiration were used up in an instant, nearly 140 of them.
But Lu Li didn't care at all!
I have an entire planet; I can just draw more when I run out.
"Kunlun Mirror, you can have 100 of the remaining spiritual energy."
The greatest benefits were distributed to the most meritorious contributors, and the grand feast came to an end.
Next, it was Lu Li.
He was quite curious about how much spiritual energy he could absorb, so he began to pour it into his body freely.
But after only two units, it reached its limit and could no longer be poured in.
"The gap is indeed huge."
Magical artifacts have always had an extremely strong ability to absorb and refine spiritual energy.
But Lu Li knew that the huge difference in skill level was largely due to his own insufficient cultivation.
Previously in Jinmen, Li Yuanzhong had sent over a divine thought, which contained information about astral projection cultivation.
A quick search at this moment brings relevant knowledge to mind:
"Once a Nascent Divine Soul Cultivator manifests, they can directly absorb and refine spiritual energy!"
The manifestation of the Divine Soul, like Fan Chengxun, where the consciousness is like a living person, is a sign of the great perfection of the Out of Body Realm.
At that time, the Divine Soul will possess incredible strength and ability, capable of directly refining and storing spiritual energy.
Then it wouldn't be like it is now, where we can only consume a mere two units.
This is a minor hurdle. While one can take a shortcut to improve one's cultivation level using the Kunlun Mirror, Lu Li must personally overcome the challenge of breaking through to a higher realm.
With the combined assistance of the Spiritual Insight and the Kunlun Mirror, that day is not far off.
With his body brimming with inspiration, Lu Li felt full of energy and vitality, and his gaze even felt burning hot.
Even if you randomly direct your Internal Breath into the acupoints, it will spontaneously undergo purification, just like a balanced and harmonious ecosystem with favorable weather.
When the resources of an entire planet are concentrated in one person, no one can imagine what kind of miracles can be created!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Lu Li was enjoying his inspiration, the outside world was in an uproar.
It started with news that the Star Alliance Country had lost three A-10 attack aircraft.
Being shot down during domestic operations is quite a surprising and entertaining event, which has also raised the level of interest in the matter to a new level.
But then, someone posted footage of Lu Li fighting online!
The drone footage clearly shows his exaggerated speed of movement and the incredible sight of him swatting away countless pieces of debris with a wave of his hand!
If these things can still be explained, it's by coincidence.
However, the few enlarged and restored photos of the flying sword are hard to accept.
A drone captured footage of an attack aircraft formation being shot down, leaving many military enthusiasts wondering what happened and how it broke into several pieces mid-air.
Then, some experts reconstructed several high-definition images of the scene and discovered the mysterious existence of the flying sword!
In addition, there are promotional videos for flying swords on Lu Li's Douyin account.
Many people even named the three flying swords.
[Breaking through mountains, painting shadows, green frost! Is it really a flying sword!?]
[That's unlikely. Could it be a technical issue with image restoration?]
[With so many coincidences, it's more than just a misunderstanding!]
Foreigners were unaware of the flying swords; the matter first began to ferment within the Xia Country's cultural sphere and then spread rapidly around the world like a virus.
The question of whether Lu Li has superpowers, which was originally only discussed by a few people, suddenly became a hot topic.
The videos of Lu Li activating the Honeycomb Shield and pulling down the helicopter have been brought up again for repeated discussion.
Despite the irrefutable evidence, the foreigners still scoffed at it, thinking it was a malicious joke made by the Xia Country.
On the contrary, the Xia Country's attention to Lu Li has increased several levels.
Many people originally just watched the Star Alliance Country for entertainment, and regarded Lu Li as one of those serial killers or terrorists who were being hunted by the police.
But now, countless people are beginning to yearn for it intensely!
They didn't even know what they craved—greater fun, or... the impossible becoming a reality?
Amidst the uproar, news of New Orleans being hit by floods and the entire city being submerged was largely ignored.
But just then, Lu Li dropped another bombshell.
He logged into his account on the Xia Country's social media platform and posted a status update:
[I am about to launch an attack on the capital of the Star Alliance Country. All unauthorized personnel are to evacuate immediately. Do not say you were not warned.]
