Special Metal

People have vitality, and places have vitality.

Where people are popular, there is prosperity and flourishing; where people are scarce, there is only barren land with sparse trees and weeds.

Earth energy refers to the Spiritual Qi bestowed upon the land and mountains.

In the first month of spring, the weather cools and the earth's energy rises, heaven and earth are in harmony, and plants begin to sprout. The rising earth energy is the breath that nourishes and moistens all things.

Zhang Xuezhou once struggled to understand why Spiritual Qi was so hard to find, and why only Sacred Land and similar places possessed Spiritual Qi that benefited the world.

Once the acupoint -Acupoint-Fixing Technique was applied, the finger bone and the red crystal seemed to have lost their fighting spirit. One turned into bone dust, and the other was extinguished by the endless heat. Zhang Xuezhou felt that he understood for the first time where the Spiritual Qi of many Sacred Land originated.

"Like this blessed land, it's like a special hole punched in the earth's veins, causing the earth's energy to leak out. The vitality that should have been hidden underground, nourishing all things, is continuously released, thus making it a blessed land!"

For the first time, Zhang Xuezhou realized the vitality of the earth, and even the energy of the planet they inhabited.

Water can be diverted to build canals, and drawing energy from the earth is also a normal practice.

Compared to the vast world, humanity is so insignificant as to be negligible.

Even if the earth's energy surges for thousands of years, it is difficult to completely deplete it. And although this overflowing earth energy is transformed and circulated, it may disappear here, but perhaps one day it will reappear in another place.

"If this person is Yu, why would he catch this red crystal? Was it carelessness or intentional?"

"If this was brought by a fireball, where did these red crystals originate?"

"Have extraterrestrial demons gotten involved?"

How many extraterrestrial demons are there in this world?

Why do you like coming to our world?

Zhang Xuezhou had countless unanswered questions in his mind.

If the Gobala Caverns exhibit such anomalies, were there similar blessed places in the caves where they encountered the millipedes? Given the vastness of the world, such situations are difficult to prevent. Are there similarities in other regions? And was the downfall of the Qinmeng Empire related to such situations?

Using the Cloud-Soaring Technique to land, Zhang Xuezhou checked the area several times before reaching out to grab it.

The red crystal I held was icy cold, like a block of red-hot iron being cooled down, its heat completely absorbed.

Even the once red crystal has faded in color, becoming dull and losing its luster, eventually turning a pale red, like a piece of stubborn iron covered in red rust.

"The earth has healed!"

Without the traction of the finger bones and the stimulation of the red crystals, this blessed land that had been leaking Spiritual Qi vanished after being sealed by Zhang Xuezhou's Acupoint-Fixing Technique.

The heat subsided, and a sense of coolness washed over me.

Zhang Xuezhou even saw the groundwater beginning to gush out; the flow wasn't large, but it was bubbling up like a spring.

Zhang Xuezhou dipped his finger in the water and took a sip, finally confirming that it was just ordinary cave water, even with a slightly salty taste, quite similar to seawater.

This water isn't very useful, but it's fine for rinsing off scale buildup on the skin.

Zhang Xuezhou breathed on the itchy Turkalando.

"It's not itchy anymore? The warmth from the steam made me feel much better, and the redness and pustules have gone down?"

To Zhang Xuezhou's surprise, the poisonous scales that Turkalando had been tainted by were mostly blown away by the heat wave, and most of the poisoned skin had healed.

He pondered the Spiritual Qi permeating the blessed land within the cave, and couldn't help but agree that while breathing in this kind of Spiritual Qi was somewhat troublesome, it should still have some subtle uses for healing wounds.

He glanced at the object he was reaching for, then leaped up from the cave using a cloud-riding technique.

"Jumping from a three-story building like that... Our generation just can't keep up!"

Watching Zhang Xuezhou go up and down, Wang Haoran felt somewhat dejected.

He could also jump from the third floor, roll off the ground to dissipate the force, and stand up, but Wang Haoran couldn't jump directly from the bottom of the building to the top of the third floor.

If he encountered such an inexplicable cave, Wang Haoran felt that unless he had a spirit of self-sacrifice, he would not dare to jump down into it.

He felt he was getting old, not only because his thinking couldn't keep up with Zhang Xuezhou's team, but also because his abilities were not quite there to fit in.

Zhang Xuezhou's team doesn't fight head-on like traditional teams, or use traps to kill the enemy. Wang Haoran has rarely engaged in direct combat since joining the team.

If Wang Haoran hadn't spent so much time following Ren Yisheng, he felt completely out of place.

Of course, few people can adapt to Zhang Xuezhou's team; those with slightly less ability can only follow along.

He was somewhat dejected, but Wang Haoran cheered up when Zhang Xuezhou picked up a piece of red rusty iron and asked him about it.

"This thing doesn't emit strong radiation, so it should be quite safe. If you're worried, Uncle Wang can hold it for you. This thing is probably made of some kind of special metal, and it may have high purity. If it collides with something..."

As a seasoned veteran of the business, Wang Haoran felt he had some experience.

He determined that what Zhang Xuezhou had taken posed no risk.

After Zhang Xuezhou asked several questions, Wang Haoran also conducted a simple test.

He reached out and threw it at a strange rock in a nearby cave. Before he could finish speaking, a fierce burst of flames rose up.

Like flint igniting dry grass, the tall, strange rock suddenly burst into flames.

After the flames died down in a mere second, a fist-sized hole had been blasted into the center of the stone.

This was far from being caused by the force of Wang Haoran's throw. At most Wang Haoran's throw could insert swords into the stone wall, but it could not ignite flames or even blast the stone hollow.

"This thing poses a high risk of collision!"

Wang Haoran's small collision test made him quickly change his tune.

When he helped Zhang Xuezhou safely store the object that had ignited the flames, his previous joy had completely vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

"The Naggs of the British Alliance State possesses a sword-like genetic weapon that emits high-temperature flames and generates violent shockwaves upon impact," Wang Haoran said. "The properties of this metal seem somewhat similar to his genetic weapon!"

"That sounds impressive?"

"He is the only person in the world who has ever killed Seventh Sequence individual, and even Committee Member Zhou is unwilling to break ties with him!"

"You mean he killed the Seventh Sequence using a genetically engineered weapon with similar capabilities?"

Wang Haoran revealed a piece of information that truly surprised Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhou Xin once had the opportunity to kill Montes Steel, Seventh Sequence fighter, but whether or not he did so is another matter.

In a direct confrontation, it is indeed difficult to kill Seventh Sequence individual based solely on one's abilities.

Those in the Seventh Sequence have extremely strong resistance to attacks after their bodies are mutated. As long as they are not mentally disabled, they can always find a way to escape if they can't win a fight.

To kill an opponent under these circumstances, one must possess destructive power that can burst forth instantly, capable of directly breaking through the resistance layer of Seventh Sequence individual.

The opponent's sword possessed this ability, and now, a metal material similar to that of Grenas's sword has appeared.
