The Second Wave

Having returned to Chang'an City before nightfall, Zhang Xuezhou made a special trip to visit Liu Xuan.

Perhaps they had calculated that Zhang Xuezhou would not need guards during the time travel period, and that Kong Ning was stationed at the mansion, while Wei Shao'er and Liu Xuan were not present.

How to bind Liu Xuan is a troublesome matter, and Zhang Xuezhou can only wait and see what kind of pills the other party might need after his cultivation improves.

Wei Shao'er can provide Liu Xuan with pills for his low cultivation level. As his cultivation level increases, pills will no longer be easily obtained through gold and silver, but will require interpersonal relationships and sacrifices.

Please help me alleviate my physical problems!

Having clarified the relevant details, Zhang Xuezhou didn't linger too long on the time it took to travel back to reality.

He had a brief conversation with Yi Shuo, and indicated that he would try his best to return to Chang'an City for treatment on time before lying back down.

"Aren't you afraid that Daoist Lord might launch a surprise attack?"

In the Sinkhole No. 2, Zhang Xuezhou woke up two days later than usual. After communicating with Ren Anran as usual, Ren Anran couldn't help but be curious.

"I've already been declared dead by Nine Spirits. As long as I don't cause any trouble, he won't come looking for me!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that his life in Chang'an City had basically returned to normal, and he could now focus on his treatment.

The difficulties he faces will be resolved step by step until everything is completely normal.

"You solve problems faster than I imagined," Ren Anran exclaimed.

"We'll tackle them one by one, and they'll be resolved one by one!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood up and quickly adjusted his physical condition.

As many things in his other world gradually became clearer, things in the real world also began to go smoothly.

"Do you need to take advantage of this to bring out the Sinkhole No. 2?"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to Nagos and the others who were waving from afar; many of them were clearly eager to return to the outside world.

"My Yang Soul Body can travel to the outside world, and the outside world holds no special allure for me. Staying here will allow me to take care of Zhou Rihui and prevent him from becoming mentally unstable. However, Badun is waiting for you outside. If you need to deal with the spider infestation soon, I can go with you after I leave!"

"I'll be going to Brampada soon to perform a flag-raising ceremony, and then I'll seek to research the catalyst," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Badun couldn't withstand the spider venom, and my Poison Avoidance Technique will most likely not hold up either, so going there won't be of any use!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that no matter what Badun said, he would not go to Qinmeng, because this was not a joke, but could really be fatal.

He cannot act as Badun's pawn; even if there are benefits, he needs to meet certain standards to cooperate.

"Then let's wait a bit and let Badun organize a team to launch another attack after he returns home," Ren Anran nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, then quickly swung out with a light touch of his toes.

He quickly called out to the crowd, which also caused many of the people who had been waiting for a long time to solemnly draw their swords.

"Should we do another test?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"We've played control games before, we know how to handle this," Naggs said eagerly. "If we can draw it out, we've basically met the requirements; if not, there's nothing more to say!"

"We've been practicing our swordsmanship for three times longer than the Changkong Yinghao, and even with repeated hard work, it's difficult to improve our skills," Bi Dazhi said. "Personally, I'd like to test our skills here, but Naggus is a bit impatient!"

"Your Scarlet Alliance State situation is stable, so waiting a bit is fine. But I really can't wait any longer," Nagos said. "Either you let me go this time, wait for Professor Zhang to return and recover his abilities before doing the tests, and then wait for his next bout of consciousness to emerge from the crater!"

"I can't take it anymore, I need to go out!"

Qin Zhong took a deep breath.

A terrible environment is unbearable, and an overly pleasant environment is also unbearable.

Qin Zhong's body was permeated by Spiritual Qi, and he felt somewhat lightheaded and out of control.

Qin Zhong's situation is not an isolated case; Zhen Wudi's physical condition is similar. If their bodies can't hold up, the longer it takes, the lower the probability of success may become.

Chimon Haig and Ren Yisheng had similar attitudes to Bi Dazhi; both were in good physical condition and preferred to conduct a test first to verify their level.

"Those who want to go for it, continue to go for it; those who want to play it safe, wait for the next wave!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't make any demands. Neither Nags nor Bi Dazhi made the right choice; it was simply a matter of radicalism versus conservatism.

However, Naggs was right about one thing: as long as the traction was successful, everyone would have a high probability of success. After all, the distorted space was only about ten meters long, and anyone with even a tenth of his skill level could easily jump over it.

"Cough cough cough~"

After waiting for everyone to adjust their positions at the twisted point, Zhang Xuezhou leaped up, and then an incessant coughing sound rang out from the high platform of North Rehe.

Qin Chong, who had absorbed too much Spiritual Qi in the secret realm, coughed so hard he questioned his existence, clutching his neck like someone who had been poisoned to death. Zhen Wudi, on the other hand, lay curled up on the high platform, coughing.

It took them about 15 minutes to recover.

"Nagords is actually at the Ninth Sequence? Qin Zhong and Zhen Wudi can travel through space even with such coughing? What about Ren Yisheng and Chimmon Hagrid?"

The violent coughing was quite loud, and even Badun, who lived two miles away, rushed over.

While keeping a close eye on Nags, whose face was flushed, Badun also whispered a question to Zhang Xuezhou, who was waiting to the side.

Professor Ren is still suffering inside!

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that Badun should ask the person in charge directly if he had any questions.

Having been misjudged by Badun's sequence standard, Nags clearly had no intention of correcting him.

He suppressed his physical discomfort and kept adjusting his body to adapt to the outside world.

For Naggs, this way of adjusting his body was second nature. Unlike his previous understanding of being weakened, he could feel his body was light and powerful.

The changes in his body led to changes in his strength, and Nagos could sense that his strength had increased to a certain extent.

This made him both hate and love the Sinkhole No. 2.

Originally intending to escape the sinkhole and never go back to that awful place, Nagus belatedly realized that as long as he could enter and exit, this sinkhole was an excellent place to recover from his physical ailments and improve his physical fitness.

Nags can't guarantee he'll never get hurt or sick. He might not care about temporary improvements in his physical abilities, but he cares about the healing of his injuries.

If Nagos was able to recover from the Big Bang to normal, or even improve his physical condition, there is a high probability that he will need to return to the Sinkhole No. 2 in the future.

Whether he can enter or leave is closely related to Zhang Xuezhou.

"Professor Zhang, thank you for your care over the past year. I hope we can maintain a long-term partnership in the future!"

After being imprisoned in the secret location for nearly a year, some chaos began to emerge within the British Alliance State. Naggus, who learned of the situation from Ren Anran, was extremely anxious. However, he was very polite when he left and had no complaints about Zhang Xuezhou. He even sincerely expressed his desire for long-term cooperation.

"No problem!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.

Compared to Badun, Naggs' style is dangerous yet direct, with his intentions being extremely clear.

Zhang Xuezhou clearly welcomes this kind of straightforward interaction.

"There should still be some things in No. 1 Sinkhole that haven't been excavated yet. Come visit me sometime; if we find anything good, we'll split it 50/50!"

Having figured out Zhang Xuezhou's background, Nags didn't forget to clear his own name, emphasizing that his situation was similar to Zhang Xuezhou's, and that there were even hidden secrets waiting to be discovered together.

His words made Zhang Xuezhou agree, and also caused a slight change in Badun's expression.

After opening his mouth several times, Badun ultimately couldn't bring himself to join these two creatures with distinct fire meteor features.
