Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Underlying Currents
"Deputy Zhao, team 0527 just completed two points tasks."
"Currently, they have 350 points."
"Alright, I understand. I’ll start calling the team captains to have them compete for points tasks starting tomorrow!"
Xiaobei hung up the phone, looked at team 0527 still ranked last on the electronic screen, with 350 points behind it, and sighed.
"Captain Han Zhan, I’m sorry, I’m just following orders, don’t mind !"
Deep Blue City, a standalone villa.
After a busy day, Han Zhan and Xia Youwei returned here, where Li Shutong had been waiting for so ti.
Dinner was already prepared, and they ate while chatting.
"I’ve heard about your conflict with Deputy Captain Zhao Hu of Deep Blue City’s City Guardians," Li Shutong proactively brought up, asking, "Do you need my help?"
Han Zhan shook his head.
Having brief contact with him for the past two days, Li Shutong was already aware of Han Zhan’s personality.
Seeing him shake his head, he didn’t insist further.
"The City Guardians have quite a few problems. They’ve taken the na of city guardians but haven’t done the duty of guarding the city." Han Zhan pondered for a mont before speaking.
Just reporting for one day, he had already seen the empty reception hall, abandoned district service points for half a year without supervision.
Not to ntion, high officials like Zhao Hu who abuse power to suppress dissent.
Others don’t have the ability to reach the top directly, but he does.
Upon hearing Han Zhan’s words, Li Shutong put down his chopsticks.
"The word ’guardian’, we old folks chose together back then. Thinking about it now, it’s been seventy or eighty years, ti flies indeed."
"As a large organization develops, different voices will erge, just like occasional mutations in bodily tissues that need to be promptly removed."
"Regrettably, external threats persist, and internal concerns are neglected. Over the years, we’ve been busy dealing with insect infestations, while the internal ’roots’ have slowly decayed."
From Li Shutong’s tone, he must be aware of the internal issues within the City Guardians.
It seems this problem is even bigger than Han Zhan imagined.
"The roots have completely rotted, and removing them can’t cure the problem, so a fire is needed to rejuvenate it."
"That’s also the reason I initially chose you."
Han Zhan was astonished. "Teacher wants
to be that fire?"
"Fire can burn away dead branches, disperse darkness. But fire can always be extinguished. I’ve said before, the choice of how the future unfolds is in your hands."
Li Shutong picked up the chopsticks again, placed a piece of at in Xia Youwei’s bowl, and continued.
"Let’s talk about sothing cheerful."
"The grand package that Old Five sent you has already been sent to the Longevity Company. In about ten days, they can refine spiritual power and create the realm breakthrough potion."
Spirit Contract Masters and Contracted Spirits need to constantly absorb spiritual power to enhance their realms.
Only when spiritual power accumulation reaches a certain threshold can they break through to the next stage.
Spiritual power exists between heaven and earth but is relatively sparse, making realm advancent extrely slow.
At this mont, the materials of the killed Insect Race, and those natural treasures containing more abundant spiritual power, reveal their value.
The Longevity Company specializes in extracting this spiritual power and producing breakthrough potions.
One bottle of breakthrough potion has reached an extrely high price, and you have to provide your own spiritual materials, making it an unequivocal profiteering industry!
Because of this, Longevity Company has beco one of the top five companies above countries.
"This ti, the cost of refining spiritual power has been waived by Longevity Company, thanks to my influence."
"However, for future Tier Two, Tier Three... higher tier breakthrough potions, you’ll have to figure out a way yourselves."
"Thank you, Teacher!" Han Zhan and Xia Youwei shared a glance and spoke in unison.
Li Shutong waved his hand.
"Teacher, regarding the Eight Urgent Fist, how can we break through to the next stage?" Han Zhan seized the opportunity to ask again.
He had tried nurous tis yesterday. But each ti he channeled spiritual power, it resulted in failure.
Clearly able to feel the position of the second Urgency, why couldn’t he breakthrough?
"To breakthrough the Eight Urgencies, you need to rember four words."
Li Shutong said while raising four fingers on his left hand.
"Between life and death."
"Between life and death?"
"That’s right, did you see those ’energy’ surrounding your body when you released an Urgency?"
"They are generated between life and death, only when these energies reach a certain level can you break through the next Urgent Lock."
As Li Shutong spoke, he opened his left hand to Han Zhan, where an originally empty palm began to gather a cloud of white energy.
The white energy grew thicker and larger, rising above and even surpassed the size of the dining table!
Such enormous "energy
