Chapter 195 Secret Talk

At this time, He Guangzhi's voice came from inside the door:

"If you want to go in, just go in. Why are you standing at the door?"

Li Yi smiled and pushed the door open without hesitation.

A spacious and bright office appeared before my eyes.

Beyond this first impression, there are the strange-shaped plants behind the office, some red, some green, some with leaves as big as banana trees, some with serrated edges, in all shapes and sizes, but none of them are common types.

The roots of the plants grow out of a light green nutrient solution trough, occupying the entire environment behind the office, like a miniature dense forest.

He Guangzhi sat casually on the sofa at the side and waved.

"Find a place to sit by yourself."

Li Yi keenly felt that the strange plants behind the office were all surviving by relying on the lightning properties slowly emitted by He Guangzhi.

He Guangzhi noticed Li Yi's look and said with a smile:

"What did you see?"

Li Yi said: "I saw these plants flourishing because of the general."

He Guangzhi praised: "Good eyesight, what else?"

Li Yi added: "I also saw these plants grow to this extent in just one day."

There was a hint of surprise in He Guangzhi's eyes: "Not bad, what else?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "I also saw that these plants can only live for one day."

He Guangzhi was quite surprised, but he was very good at cultivating his Qi, so he smiled and said, "Yes, tell me in detail how you judged it."

Li Yi said: "First, General He should be using the refined stimulation method of micro-electric characteristics, five meters away from the body, to stimulate the growth of those plants and speed up the absorption of nutrient solution. You only need to have similar characteristics to detect it. And coincidentally, I have this characteristic."

"Secondly, the growth of plants has its own natural characteristics. If they grow normally, you can see the corresponding cortex at their roots, just like the annual rings of a tree. Each time they grow a circle, they don't grow directly, but are wrapped around each other. If they grow in a forced way, there will naturally be no such things."

"Therefore, by simply observing the freshness of the marks on the surface of these plants, we can basically determine how long they have been alive."

"Third, as for how we can tell that they can only live for one day, it's because these plants can't continue to grow under General He's micro-electric properties, which means they have reached their growth limit. As long as the nutrient solution to the roots is cut off, they will wither immediately."

"Even if the nutrient solution is replaced, the absorption rate will probably be reduced to the point where it can no longer be absorbed. And I estimate that this time is about 24 standard hours."

He Guangzhi listened carefully to Li Yi's explanation and couldn't help but applaud.

"Excellent, indeed thoughtful, observant and knowledgeable."

Li Yi asked curiously: "What I am more curious about is, is the purpose of General He doing this to train the characteristics of the Heavenly Rank?"

He Guangzhi nodded slightly: "Yes, the Heavenly Rank characteristics are the essence of mid-to-high-level Heavenly Rank combat. If you are proficient in operation, your combat power will naturally be extraordinary. Even if you have the same number of Heavenly Rank characteristics, due to different means of operation, you will naturally have completely different combat effects."

Li Yi nodded, He Guangzhi was indeed practicing micro-management.

He couldn't do the micro-manipulation that just now used micro-electrical properties to stimulate the growth of plants over such a large area.

That requires stimulation that is precise enough to reach deep into the cells.

His micro-electric characteristics would most likely require promotion to the Heavenly Rank, and strengthening them to Heavenly Rank characteristics, before he could achieve this.

After all, the enhancement of his micro-electrical properties in the spire before only added up to 20 to 30 percent, which was not much.

Now, he can only stimulate various organs, such as internal organs, blood vessels, muscle fibers, neural networks and other larger things.

The Divine Network is the smallest organ in the body that he can stimulate.

Including the brain, he can only sense activities within the brain area, not down to the level of brain cells.

Thinking of this, Li Yi said, "General He, I have learned the skill of transforming divinity into divine energy cannon that you taught me last time. Do I need to show you how to do it, and then learn the second stage you mentioned?"

He Guangzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "You got it? Are you kidding me?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "It can be considered as luck. In the heritage ruins, I happened to learn a lot of techniques of divine energy transformation and divine separation techniques. Combined with the last observation, I now have some experience."

Hearing about the heritage relics, He Guangzhi nodded immediately:

"Since it is a heritage relic, it is indeed possible. Show me how far you have mastered it."

When he mentioned this, he put aside what he was going to say.

Li Yi nodded, stretched out his palm, and countless translucent divinities left his body, slowly showing the purple-blue color of lightning characteristics, and then constantly squeezed and rubbed.

Immediately afterwards, the purple-blue color became thicker and thicker in his palm, as if it contained extremely powerful energy.

With his current mastery level of divine manipulation skills, completing these simple transformations of divine energy properties is quite easy.

However, to fire a divine energy cannon with bare hands, just doing this step is far from enough.

What is more crucial is to shoot out the divine energy at high speed.

This step is the core of this technique.

The last time He Guangzhi demonstrated, he held back several times and was about to shoot but didn't. This method is really smart.

The core of the technique he actually demonstrated is actually this one move.

At that time, Li Yi, like everyone else, thought that accumulating energy in the early stages was the key.

But after he pondered over the dream and understood the challenge of the transformation spire, he had changed his original opinion.

He Guangzhi was actually demonstrating this core skill throughout the entire process, but everyone's attention was drawn to the energy storage process and they ignored the subsequent actions.

This method of allowing the divine energy to continuously flow in the palm of the hand, seemingly shooting but not shooting, and constantly accumulating kinetic energy inside is the focus of He Guangzhi's teaching.

This technique is completely different from Yu Hengxing's stellar explosion technique.

The former is constantly circulating internally to accumulate momentum; the latter is purely utilizing the divine mecha to compress vigorously, thereby achieving its explosive effect.

Both have their advantages.

But in terms of cleverness of technique, He Guangzhi's is still far better.

At this moment, purple-blue light continued to condense in the room.

The divine energy that continued to condense in Li Yi's palm was constantly flowing at high speed, increasing the compression force, causing the energy contained within to continue to expand.

After a while, a fierce aura that was about to explode appeared in front of He Guangzhi.

This process takes about 3 minutes.

Seeing this, He Guangzhi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Very good! You can maintain the dual charge of force and speed for 3 minutes. This is your first time operating it, and you have proven your operating skills. Now, you can try to fire this shot towards me."

Li Yi was surprised and asked, "Will you not accidentally break things around you?"

He estimated that the power of this shot was several times that of a large-caliber rocket launcher.

It is estimated that it can directly bring down a building several dozen meters high.

It should be no problem to blow open the shell of a man-made 20-meter-class mecha with one shot.

He Guangzhi smiled faintly and said, "Why are you still worrying about this when I'm here? Come on, let me see how powerful this move of yours is."

Li Yi nodded immediately without any hesitation. After all, he was at a high level of Heavenly Rank, and he estimated that even without activating the divine shield, he could withstand such energy cannons with his physical body.

He raised his palm straight forward, making a forehand gesture towards He Guangzhi, while his left hand grasped the tip of his elbow to stabilize the output of his right palm.

Then--

boom!!!

As his mind relaxed, the energy ball that was condensed like a water ball seemed to break open a tiny hole.

Then, accompanied by a huge squeezing force and the originally accumulated momentum, this ball of energy suddenly turned into a thin and long light wave and shot out.

He adjusted this ball of energy to be highly condensed. When it was shot out, it was as straight as a spear, cutting through a distance of five meters and instantly hitting outside He Guang's body.

Zizi! A few centimeters outside He Guang's body, a light-colored light shield appeared in response, blocking the condensed energy wave.

But it only lasted for a moment. This extremely condensed energy cannon pierced through the divine shield like a long needle and hit He Guangzhi's shoulder. Finally, it became no longer condensed and exploded directly.

BANG!!! With a huge explosion, the tempered glass at the back of the office instantly cracked. At the same time, He Guangzhi's continuous micro-electric stimulation was also disconnected for a while, and the plants on the ground withered instantly.

Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

Is this power so strong?

After the smoke and dust cleared, He Guangzhi was unharmed. He walked out with his eyes slightly narrowed and without saying a word.

However, although he was unharmed, his body was covered with a lot of dust.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Li Yi suddenly laughed secretly. It seemed that although He Guangzhi was not injured, he himself probably did not expect that the attack could penetrate his divine shield.

Although its power was weakened a lot after it penetrated through and could not cause any harm to He Guangzhi, it still made He Guangzhi lose some dignity and look a little embarrassed.

When He Guangzhi saw Li Yi's expression, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he said:

"Your energy cannon is actually not the same version as mine?"

Li Yi immediately stopped smiling and said seriously:

"Yes, I am not very skilled in this field, and I still need some guidance from General He."

He Guangzhi choked for a moment, then simply waved his arms, shaking his body slightly, and the dust that had come over was instantly shaken off by him.

In a moment, he returned to his original bright and clean state.

He coughed lightly and said, "Although it is slightly different from my version, it is also self-contained. Yes, your highly concentrated needle-transforming method is unexpected and has a strong defense-breaking ability. It is indeed good."

Li Yi stopped when he saw that things were going well, and immediately said, "I still have to thank General He for his advice."

He Guangzhi said: "Since you have completed the learning of this skill within a year as promised, I will teach you the second stage of skills. Watch out."

As he spoke, an invisible divinity condensed in He Guang's palm again, which quickly transformed into divine energy and continued to compress.

Immediately afterwards, this ball of divine energy slowly shrank from the size of a football to the size of a goose egg. And that was not the end yet, it continued to compress, slowly turning into the size of chicken eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, and then to the size of a finger.

Eventually, it turned into the size of a grain of rice.

As the ball of light continued to compress, the dangerous aura released by this energy was also shrinking and becoming increasingly ordinary.

When it reaches the size of a grain of rice, apart from being slightly shiny, it is really no different from a grain of rice.

The whole process took only a dozen seconds.

After watching the whole process, Li Yi's eyes lit up and he was amazed:

"General He's unique skill really turns decay into magic. No, it should be said that it makes the magic even more magical."

He Guangzhi's eyes moved slightly: "Do you understand?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "I see. This skill is a continuous micro-manipulation of the same skill of accumulating power and speed. However, the operation becomes more and more detailed, which requires extremely high operating ability and total divinity."

"It may seem like a simple operation of just a dozen seconds, but in fact, it has already infused a huge amount of divine energy into it, and it will not break apart, forming a whole. As long as there is an external force change, it will produce a terrifying effect comparable to a tactical nuclear bomb."

"If General He puts all his strength into it, perhaps even a 45-meter-tall divine mecha can be successfully penetrated and create a huge gap."

"However, what I am more curious about is that this move seems difficult to release from a distance. If it is released from close range, I am afraid that even a high-level Heavenly Rank physical body may not be able to survive this terrifying power."

He Guangzhi showed approval in his eyes and nodded, "As expected, he is the best young mecha master of our time. His vision and judgment are both excellent."

"However, my technique naturally has a third stage. You should complete the second stage first, and then consider the third stage."

"As long as you can learn this skill of mine within five years, you'll be qualified! Now, let's talk business."

Although Li Yi is currently unable to replicate this move due to his insufficient total divinity, he estimates that it is not difficult if he masters the technique.

But before he could finish his words, He Guangzhi started talking about other things. In this case, Li Yi could not interrupt him and could only let He Guangzhi continue.

"You don't need to ask any more questions about anything other than our goal of inheriting the ruins."

"When you have reached the level of strength, I will tell you naturally."

"Don't worry, I already treat you as my own. I will tell you everything I need to say, even in advance. But it's not advisable for you to know about this matter too early, as it may cause other troubles."

"As for the fact that you have taken over the heritage ruins this time, if you spread the news so widely, it will definitely attract a group of cult members to come to you and try to get the location of the heritage ruins from you."

"This includes the flight records of your small starship. The pilot, logistics personnel, teammates, and everyone else will be targeted."

"But you can rest assured about this. We have arranged reliable personnel to be on guard and keep watch, in order to catch a group of potential cult members."

"Of course, this is just a simple part. There are other annihilation operations underneath this. But this involves confidentiality, so you don't need to know too much, so as not to reveal your true identity."

Li Yi touched his chin and asked:

"Then won't the entire crew of our small starship be able to live in unrest for a long time?"

He Guangzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will do a bigger job this time. If we can achieve the highest goal, which is to destroy the fundamental evil sculpture, then everything will be fine. If we can only miss one level, we can destroy their living force once, so that they will not be able to take sufficiently threatening actions for several years."

"After three to five years, when all the knowledge of the heritage ruins has been acquired, I believe they will no longer care about you, the source of information."

Li Yi nodded: "Okay, General He will give you detailed rules, but since you told me such a big intelligence, I'm afraid you want me to do something, right?"

He Guangzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, but this is very simple. You just need to set off for the Earth ruins as soon as possible."

"The faster you leave, the bigger their moves will be, and the more loopholes they will have."

Li Yi frowned and said, "Just use it as bait? What if we attract their Heavenly Rank experts?"

He Guangzhi smiled faintly and said, "When the time comes, I will arrange a strong man of the fifth stage of the Heavenly Rank to protect your safety. Are you satisfied? Then, you can explore the ruins together. This man has learned all my unique skills and his strength is not weak."

At this point, Li Yi had nothing more to say, so he nodded and agreed.

No matter what, with a strong man at the fifth level of the Heavenly Rank protecting him, he felt very safe.

"By the way, General He, wasn't the cult den I reported last time related to the Supervision Department? May I ask what the follow-up situation is at the Supervision Department? The captive I captured earlier died directly in the Supervision Department. How is the investigation going on with this matter?"

Originally, Li Yi didn't want to ask He Guangzhi such questions. After all, he didn't have the authority. Since he didn't get much information when calculating the military merits before, it meant that his authority was not enough to get enough information.

But it's different now. Since he has been tied to the bait hook by He Guangzhi, he has to get more information.

Even though he didn't have enough authority, he still wanted to ask about it.

He Guangzhi stroked his beard and wanted to say that you don't have enough authority, but when he saw Li Yi's firm eyes, he changed his mind and said:

"Well, originally I couldn't tell you about this, but since you need to take such a big risk, I will tell you a few important details."

"Inspection Department, some people have indeed been corrupted and converted into followers of the True Saint Church. There is no doubt about that."

"But this matter is really strange. I still haven't figured it out completely."
