Kyoto Base City

8 hours later, Bai Yang finally finished this round of practice.

Sister Mei and Yang Wu immediately brought him food and water, letting him rest properly.

His current physical fitness was astonishingly good, so this bit of hardship really wasn't much.

Glancing briefly around the studio, Jia Yi and Lu Ting both had their eyes closed, sitting cross-legged as they pondered something.

Given their talent and cultivation level, they were sure to gain something.

That was also why they insisted on staying to watch until the end.

The three of them didn't want to disturb them, so they silently withdrew.

The remaining video editing and computer entry would naturally be handled by Huaxia's internal professionals, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Bai Yang and Yang Wu had set out from Jiangnan Base City early in the morning, and by now it was already afternoon.

Huaxia's headquarters was essentially a massive underground base, so there really wasn't much to see.

Since it was rare to visit Kyoto Base City, they both wanted to go out and look around.

Unfortunately, until the video was finished being edited, he might be needed for consultation at any time, so he couldn't get away.

Bai Yang sat in his office, a massive room of over fifty square meters.

The staff had thoughtfully projected natural scenery from the outside world onto the windows, making it almost impossible to feel this was underground.

Bai Yang connected his handheld computer to the office's main computer and began downloading [Huaxia]'s classified intelligence.

As the leader of the Ninth Group, he should have had access to these materials long ago, but Huaxia was a special organization.

The internal network had strict physical isolation from the outside world, and this time he finally got his wish.

The information he focused on most was the locations of various ancient civilization ruins on Earth and data on special monsters.

In August 2057, the Golden Horned Behemoth's egg would descend upon Earth.

That was exactly one year from now.

If possible, he really wanted to go over and kill it the moment it landed.

But the original text only mentioned it being near the Hawaii Islands, which was far too broad a range.

In the vast Pacific Ocean, there was simply no way to search for it.

To make matters worse, that place was extremely awkward—it was also the location of Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 12.

This was one of Earth's three absolute death zones, where the Silver Blue Empire's fleet 'mothership' had crashed.

Luo Feng's first fortune in the universe—the Black Dragon Mountain X81 Spaceship—was also discovered here.

Places like this were naturally under constant surveillance by various countries' instruments.

Even so, they couldn't detect the Golden Horned Behemoth's juvenile form, and in the later plot, it could completely vanish to heal its wounds.

So, like Babata, it must have some ability to shield signals and conceal itself.

Bai Yang set aside these concerns for now and downloaded everything in one go.

He would slowly consider his plans later; as long as there was time, there would always be a better way.

As for information on special monsters, that was even more important to him for now.

This almost directly related to his strength improvement, especially the "Dragon Beasts" among the monsters, which particularly caught his eye.

According to the original setting, there were some extremely special and rare monsters that no one knew what they evolved from.

Perhaps they were monsters born from some special factors, and these monsters would have unique names. Humans gave them the title "Dragon," symbolizing their power.

The Iron Armored Dragon that Luo Feng encountered was one such Dragon Beast.

Although its strength didn't really rank high and it could only throw its weight around in the outskirts of Magic City.

This type of monster might not be strong, but its genetic level was definitely not lacking.

Bai Yang even suspected that it was precisely because their genes were too excellent that their strength progressed slowly.

The logic was the same as his own—a stronger foundation required more resources.

Once he completed his monster body, he would grow 72 dragon-headed tentacles on his physical form.

The original Orochi could even make each dragon head spit out terrifying high-energy beams.

Although Bai Yang didn't want to make his own style so bizarre, under the temptation of becoming stronger, this wasn't a big deal.

This was also the reason he had set up a stronghold in Kunshan ahead of time—Magic City's city center was sure to have quite a few Dragon Beasts.

It might even be the most densely concentrated area on the entire landmass, aside from the ocean and Australia.

This kind of matter could only be handled by absolutely loyal monster slaves; he couldn't entrust it to Huaxia.

Bai Yang slept through the night, and by the next morning, no one had come to ask him about the details of the White Golden Light Shadow.

[Huaxia]'s work on recording and modeling the video seemed to be going smoothly.

If nothing unexpected happened, soon the entirety of Huaxia.

And even the strength of the entire Huaxia military, would experience an explosion.

August 25, 2056, Jingshan Satellite City, Kyoto Base City.

Mei Xiaqing drove Bai Yang and Yang Wu to the train heading for the main urban area.

It was only then that Bai Yang realized the Huashan headquarters was actually located underground in Jingshan City.

After getting off at Kyoto's main urban district, everything here looked no different from Jiangnan Base City, except the weather was a bit cooler.

He couldn't see any of the red walls and yellow tiles from his past life; instead, everything was sci-fi skyscrapers.

Bai Yang recalled the tacky ancient-style buildings of his previous life, real or fake, and found himself missing them now.

Such cities were all the same, and almost none of the landmark buildings he knew so well remained.

Disappointed, he wandered around for a while and soon grew bored.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

Since he was in Kyoto, hadn't he yet gone to settle accounts with the Bai Family!?

Given the Bai Family's influence as one of the twelve families of the HR Alliance in Huaxia, they likely knew a lot about him.

That head of the family, his aunt Bai Pianqing, should already be aware, right?

Bai Yang began to get excited. Under these circumstances, if he suddenly showed up to "visit,"

what kind of attitude would they take?

And how would she face his uncle and cousin Bai Sheng from now on?

As soon as he thought of it, he acted. Bai Yang pulled out his handheld computer and called up intelligence on the Bai Family.

When Bai Pianyong had left Kyoto with his two children, the original Bai Yang was too young to remember much.

Soon, the computer displayed the location of the Bai Family's old mansion.

Bai Yang casually hailed a taxi and headed that way.

As one of the twelve largest families in Huaxia, the Bai Family ranked near the bottom.

But they could still befriend a few friendly War Gods and support a large number of high- and mid-level generals.

Moreover, the Bai Family had Spirit Reader bloodlines. Besides those three women, whether there were other strong members was hard to say.

Spirit Reader techniques were also hard to guard against, making it far too easy to challenge those above one's rank.

Yang Wu sat beside him, worried. "My lord! Should we notify the bureau and ask for backup before we go?"

Bai Yang smiled. "It's fine. My cousin did train with the Bai Family before, trying to break through to War God, and it did cost them some money.

My main purpose this time is to repay the debt. Of course, harmony is the priority."

Though Yang Wu was his subordinate, seeing Bai Yang's sharp gaze and eager demeanor, he really couldn't believe that was his master's true intention.
