I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 606: 【195】Martial Arts Rhythm, South Pacific Anomaly_2

The giant squid hurriedly dragged away the blue crystal, leaving the sperm whale to collide with empty space.

But just this collision caused more cracks to appear in the ancient city.

A nearby pointed structure broke apart again, releasing another blue crystal, inside which existed a blue-skinned humanoid.

The sperm whale seemed to sense some hesitation, and directly swallowed the blue crystal, ingesting it.

Instantly, its body underwent a noticeable mutation, with the severed tentacles clinging to its body reviving and piercing into the sperm whale.

Subsequently, a large number of freely movable tentacles appeared on the surface of the sperm whale's body, quite bizarre.

And on the sperm whale's head grew numerous new eyes, darkly observing the surroundings.

The giant squid expelled a large amount of black ink, dyeing the surrounding waters black, and swiftly dragged away the blue crystal it had captured.

The sperm whale did not pursue but waited for a moment before turning to swim slowly in another direction.

At this moment, these two marine creatures seemed to lay down their hatred and parted ways.

...

In two or three days, it would be New Year's Eve, and many of Wang Longhu's classmates had returned from out of town.

The usually quiet Dong County had now become incredibly lively, with people everywhere on the streets.

Wang Longhu walked aimlessly on the street, finding it difficult to blend into the bustling atmosphere.

He had already paid New Year's visits to those he needed to, and now he was spending another ten days in Dong County, waiting for the seventh or eighth day of the new year.

As people who had returned started going back to big cities to continue working, he was also preparing to leave and explore the ancient civilization ruins in Shambhala.

From what the Wilson family had gained from the Kukulkan ruins,

as long as Wang Longhu invested a lot of time in Shambhala, he could surely obtain a great deal of alien technology.

By then, whether he submitted them to the state or formed his own company to research and apply for patents, either would be possible.

It could certainly accelerate humanity's technological civilization by several decades.

"Wang Longhu!"

While Wang Longhu was strolling, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.

He turned around to see a group of people carrying bags full of seafood, greeting him.

"It's actually these guys." Seeing their appearance, Wang Longhu was a bit surprised.

These were senior students he had known back in middle school; when Wang Longhu was in first grade, they were in third grade.

They were a group who didn't like studying and often hung out in the streets with jobless thugs outside school.

Nowadays, they would be called loafers.

It's been about ten years since he last saw them.

"It's you guys." Wang Longhu nodded politely.

He clearly remembered a man with a buzz cut and a scar on his face, who had stabbed someone with a knife about six or seven years ago and ended up in prison.

He served about four or five years before coming out, and his life was pretty much ruined.

In small places like Dong County, there's not much tolerance for people involved in such incidents.

"What a coincidence, it's been years since we've seen you, come have a meal with us; we just got a batch of large yellow croakers, let's go."

The leading man in an old down jacket enthusiastically invited Wang Longhu.

His name was Liang Kuan, and back in the day, his nickname was 'Knife Kid.'

He always carried several folding knives in his pockets or bag, quite rebellious.

However, later he fortunately didn't go down any wrong paths and found a job at an auto repair shop after finishing vocational school.

"Such big ones, where'd you get them?" Wang Longhu did not refuse and walked forward curiously to look at the seafood in their bags.

These yellow croakers weighed ten kilograms each and were quite a big catch even for an island town like Dong County.

"My uncle gave them to me. Come on, let's go to my place, haven't seen you in so many years, you've made a fortune outside, haven't you."

Liang Kuan put his arm around Wang Longhu's shoulder, trying to pull him along.

Wang Longhu did not refuse, as he was feeling bored anyway.

Although these people used to be slackers, he wasn't sure if they had settled down now or still lived as drifters.

But what did it matter to him? Everyone has their own life to live.

He just needed to focus on living his life well without worrying about others' futures.

Besides, with Wang Longhu's current capabilities, his future was destined to be in the mysterious universe.

After this New Year, he would unlikely have any more dealings with these people.

The group Leonard Kuan invited had no objections.

It was apparent that some of them had also been called together by Liang Kuan, just like Wang Longhu.

Liang Kuan's home was nearby, and his family was considerably well-off, having gritted their teeth to secure him a hundred-square-meter second-hand apartment.

The real estate prices in Dong County were not high, and even the priciest ones couldn't fetch more than 900,000 yuan for a good area.

And those old second-hand houses were even cheaper.

The group arrived at Liang Kuan's house, and Wang Longhu curiously asked, "Where are your wife and child?"

Liang Kuan chuckled, "Cut it out, buddy, where would I get a wife and child? I'm still single."

"You're not unattractive, and you own a house in Dong County; surely it shouldn't be hard to find a wife."

"Hehe, I'm too picky. Even though I have a car, a house, savings and manage to earn over ten thousand a month with effort, working at an auto repair shop makes my work clothes greasy every day. You know, it doesn't sound very appealing,
