I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 373. Dr. Baric

Sharpening your spear only when the battle looms, neither fast nor shiny.

In the midst of a secretive march toward New York City, Lu Li refined the life essence given by several beauties.

The amount was quite substantial, with Xia Weiyun and Xiao Cha each contributing three portions, and the female master Su Qing even giving a generous nine portions.

Brimming with vigor, his kidneys channeled the streams of life essence into his bone marrow.

This was exactly as described in "Suwen": the kidneys govern the bones and generate marrow.

The surging life energy stored in the marrow throughout his body would provide continuous support and stamina at critical moments, adding a layer of insurance for the breakthrough.

"I really should thank them,"

Lu Li sighed with relief while also mobilizing his True Qi to transform into a forging hammer, tempering his spine.

The physique of someone in the Innate Realm was utterly non-human, and without forceful methods, no training effect could be elicited. But with the Spirit Mechanism aiding him, it hardly counted as an ordeal.

The reason for targeting his spine was its connection to the brain, allowing him to simultaneously refine the brain and strengthen the entire central nervous system.

So, as he walked, he continued his cultivation, and after a few hours, he looked up to see New York City already in the distance.

As the world’s largest city, its prosperity went without saying, emerging as a city that touched the skies with high-rise buildings.

Every inch of land was a concrete jungle, with buildings tightly packed together, so dense that not even the wind could penetrate.

After observing for a moment, Lu Li was suddenly reminded of the sandcastles he saw as a child and felt the urge to kick and punch them to the ground.

"After Manifesting Saint, this place will be perfect to test the power of Heart Image,"

Manifesting Saint was on par with the Golden Body Realm, a large-scale weapon of destruction in the Otherworld, capable of single-handedly destroying cities.

Lu Li was very eager, but to ensure absolute certainty, there were still some preparations to make.

First, he commanded his subconscious to take control of the "meridians circulation" system, continuing to refine his spine.

His consciousness, along with his Divine Soul Emergence, activated the Heavenly Eye "Qi Observation" to survey the Spirit Vein.

"Indeed, there is an ultra-large Spirit Vein! But it’s a bit different... it’s extremely solid."

Through the Heavenly Eye Vision, brilliant azure light spread like a massive quilt over the land, enveloping the entire city.

And this radiance was so solid it seemed tangible, suppressing all other geomagnetic maps within the region, turning everything in sight blue.

Such an anomaly surely indicated that the Spirit Mechanism reserves were not low.

This could greatly speed up the condensation of Heart Image, so naturally, Lu Li was delighted, but also alert:

"If this Spirit Vein is too large, I’ll leave some intact to avoid adversely affecting Blue Star."

A moderate extraction was manageable, and the star could recover on its own, but over-extraction could lead to irreversible damage.

Lu Li, having no desire to destroy his own world, also had no intention of being excessively greedy.

With such a principle in mind, Lu Li’s Divine Soul returned, and he began to draft a more detailed battle plan.

First, he needed to determine the precise coordinates of the Spirit Vein!

Leaving the Puppet to wait in a deserted area outside the city, Lu Li headed toward New York City on his own.

The closer he got to the metropolitan sprawl of towering buildings, the nearer he came to a new battlefield.

Lu Li couldn’t help thinking: The Star Alliance Country has established a... Joint Special Forces to deal with me? I wonder what kind of formidable weapons they might have...

Ironically, the Joint Special Forces were also considering him.

~~~~~~~~~~

The headquarters of the Joint Special Forces was located in Green Pine military base, over 300 kilometers away.

This military base housed some of the Star Alliance Country’s top scholars, who had been researching ways to kill Lu Li, and their efforts were now bearing fruit.

On the airstrip lay a seemingly endless line of F35 fighter jets, easily more than a hundred.

The underbelly of each aircraft was fitted with a large camera-like device, which was actually a High Energy Laser!

Beyond that, there were innumerable small tanks, each turret equipped with 30mm caliber Avenger Cannons.

These tanks were no larger than a small electric car and lacked canopies, they were clearly unmanned.

Not far away, a group of bare-chested soldiers ran by shouting rhythms, their morale soaring high.

Clearly, the Star Alliance had made thorough preparations, and even the scholars gathered previously were beginning to relax.

At this moment, Professor Rossi, a crime psychology expert from Harvard University, was drawing Lu Li’s portrait on a piece of white paper.

His drawing skill was barely satisfactory, but it was incredibly lifelike, depicting Lu Li as cold and cruel.

"Hey, buddy, not a bad drawing."

Professor Reed came over with a cup of coffee in his hand and glanced at the sketch before commenting,

"It seems like psychology experts are all good at drawing... Speaking of which, it’s been almost a month. When can we leave? I have some very important research waiting."

"Sorry, I’m not sure either."

Rossi analyzed, "It seems we’ll be disbanded only after that mutant is captured."

Reed was obviously dissatisfied, "That mutant must have escaped long ago... Are we supposed to stay here for Christmas?"

"No, we won’t."

Rossi, looking at the portrait in his hand, smiled and said,

"Cruel, immoral, anti-social personality, racist, with a strong sense of revenge... Such a person won’t stop when they have the upper hand. He’ll commit another crime soon."

"By then, your laser weapons will come in handy."

Rossi pointed to the combat aircraft equipped with laser weapons outside the window and chuckled,

"With a range of four kilometers, they can melt through two-centimeter-thick steel plates, much more reliable than those toy tanks."

"Thank you."

Reed cracked a modest smile. As an expert in the laser field, he had led the retrofit of airborne high-energy lasers and was quite confident in his work.

Unconsciously, much of his anxiety had also dissipated, which was exactly what Rossi had intended to bring about.

After exchanging a few more words, the two were about to go their separate ways when a group of people approached from the end of the corridor.

Leading them was a military officer with white-flecked hair and a resolute figure, his shoulder adorned with the insignia of four stars—clearly an admiral!

This must be the highest commander of the base.

Yet there was a chubby bald old man walking shoulder to shoulder with him, incessantly saying,

"Admiral Fenton, the mutant contains an unrivaled treasure. You must capture him alive the moment he shows up! No matter the casualties and losses, there’s no room for negotiation on this matter, understand?"

To speak to an admiral in such an impolite tone, the unprepossessing fat old man must be someone of no ordinary status.

Reed whispered,

"He’s a representative of the pharmaceutical conglomerate, wanting to capture the mutant alive to develop life-extending potions... But what I really want to know is how he controls the flying swords. It would be a significant discovery in the field of quantum entanglement."

"Yes, that mutant... is priceless."

Rossi casually agreed, just as the admiral and the pharmaceutical group’s representative walked over.

"Pleased to meet you, I’m Dr. Baric."

The chubby, bald old man named Baric stepped forward, warmly shaking hands with both of them.

Reed’s face was pinched as if he were holding a red-hot iron.

While Rossi’s expression remained unchanged, he nodded slightly and said, "It’s an honor to meet the Father of Crowns, how may I assist you?"

"Ha, you’re too modest."

Baric placed both hands on Rossi’s and gave a firm shake, smiling,

"I’ve read your profile report. Are you sure that the mutant will strike soon?"

"Yes."

Rossi sincerely said, "Given his personality, and the fact that he will most definitely target a large city."

"Oh..."

Baric’s eyebrows raised upon seeing Lu Li’s sketch.

Just as he was about to say more, a piercing alarm suddenly rang out across the base!

Simultaneously, a report came in: [The target is attacking New York!]

Rossi’s prediction hadn’t missed the mark, and Baric’s gaze turned different.

But there was no time for further talk, as they all hurried to the command center.

Reed grimaced, wishing he could chop off his hand as his eyes searched around for alcohol and disinfectant.
