Under the cover of night, Lu Zhaoming and his group disappeared from Leng Feng's sight in a flash, like a few nimble loaches.
"Pah! That old bastard, he's serious!" Lu Zhaoming muttered as he ran away.
Are villains this dedicated these days?
This is practically 996 plus!
Using his familiarity with the terrain, he managed to shake off Leng Feng and his group by taking a roundabout route.
"Huff, huff..." Liu Yan and Xiao Hu followed behind, panting heavily, clearly struggling to keep up.
"Brother Lu, where are we going?" Liu Yan couldn't help but ask.
Lu Zhaoming wiped the sweat from his brow, his eyes resolute: "I'll find a reclusive master and learn some life-saving skills!"
This "reclusive master" was none other than the eagle that Lu Zhaoming had overheard Su Li mentioning before.
It is said that this eagle senior was once a formidable figure, proficient in various supernatural power control techniques, but unfortunately, he later went into seclusion for unknown reasons.
But now, Lu Zhaoming couldn't care less about anything else; he might as well try anything, even if it seemed hopeless!
The journey that followed was practically a survival challenge in the wilderness.
They endured hardships and trekked through mountains and rivers, encountering several waves of mutated creatures along the way.
Fortunately, Lu Zhaoming reacted quickly, and with the cooperation of Liu Yan and Xiao Hu, they managed to escape danger.
"Hey Lu, this place is way too desolate! Are you sure there really some kind of expert living here?" Xiao Hu couldn't help but complain. After these past few days, he felt like he was turning into a wild man.
Lu Zhaoming looked up at the valley surrounded by mountains in the distance and took a deep breath: "We're almost there! I hope that senior eagle won't let us down."
Finally, after numerous "high-energy warnings ahead" announcements, they arrived at the entrance to the valley.
Inside the valley, lush trees provided shade, birds sang, and flowers bloomed, a stark contrast to the desolate landscape outside.
If it weren't for the faint energy fluctuations permeating the air, Lu Zhaoming would have doubted whether he had come to the wrong place.
"Is anyone there? This is Lu Zhaoming, a junior who has come to pay a visit to Senior Eagle!" Lu Zhaoming called out into the valley, his voice echoing with a hint of respect.
"Hmph, I knew you'd come." A cold voice came from the depths of the valley, and then a figure slowly appeared in front of them.
He was an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair and a thin face, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, as if they could see right through people's hearts.
He was dressed in coarse gray clothes, exuding an aura of isolation from the world.
"You are Lu Zhaoming?" The eagle looked Lu Zhaoming up and down, its tone flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.
"It is indeed I, the junior," Lu Zhaoming said respectfully.
"Speak, what do you want from me?" Eagle asked bluntly, not liking to beat around the bush.
Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and told Eagle about his current situation and the purpose of his visit.
"You want me to teach you the techniques to control your superpowers?" After listening, Eagle remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
“Yes, senior. I humbly request your assistance!” Lu Zhaoming said sincerely.
The eagle stroked its whiskers, its eyes darting around uncertainly.
"I can teach you, but you must prove yourself trustworthy."
"How can you prove it?" Lu Zhaoming asked.
"It's simple, just complete the test I've given you." The eagle's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
Next, Eagle led Lu Zhaoming to an open space.
There was a complex magic circle drawn on the ground, surrounded by some strange props.
"Your task is to activate the magic circle in a specific order using these items within the time limit," the eagle said, pointing to the magic circle on the ground. "Remember, you only have one chance."
Lu Zhaoming suddenly felt immense pressure. What the hell, they're starting with something this difficult?
However, he was no pushover either.
"Doomsday Judgment System, activate!" Lu Zhaoming silently recited in his mind, activating the system's auxiliary functions.
Instantly, countless streams of data flooded into his mind, analyzing every detail of the magic array clearly.
"I see!" Lu Zhaoming's eyes lit up, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
He followed the system's instructions step by step.
It must be said that this set of energy manipulation exercises is indeed very complex, and failure can occur if one is not careful.
But with the system's assistance and his own comprehension, Lu Zhaoming persevered under immense pressure, taking one step at a time.
Time passed second by second, and Lu Zhaoming's forehead was covered with sweat, but he still did not give up.
Finally, at the last second, he successfully placed the last prop in the designated position.
"Buzz!"
The entire magic circle was activated instantly, bursting out with dazzling light.
"Phew..." Lu Zhaoming let out a long sigh of relief, feeling completely exhausted.
"Not bad, at least you still have some potential." Eagle looked at Lu Zhaoming.
Next, the eagle began to formally teach Lu Zhaoming the techniques for controlling supernatural energy fluctuations.
"So-called superpowers are actually a special kind of energy. What you need to do is learn how to sense and control this energy," the eagle explained while demonstrating.
Lu Zhaoming listened intently, memorizing every word the eagle said.
At the same time, he also made sure to activate the system and record all of the eagle's explanations.
