Chapter 223: 140, Dusk Front, Irenado_3

Even if they were all just worthless as clay chickens and pottery dogs before him, there were still a thousand of them, and killing each one consumed a bit of energy; after a few hundred kills, his energy would be exhausted.

This wasn’t reality; otherwise, with the supplement from the High Energy Magic Cube, he could have won.

By the time Lin Qing’s energy was depleted, the female general, who had been watching from afar, released several serrated discs that cut through the air at astonishing Speed.

He couldn’t be bothered to resist and simply gave up to await death, conceding to start over.

Before his second attempt, Lin Qing learned from his previous mistakes, leaving Heavenly Orbital Coordinates on the Source Divine Weapon beforehand, only entering the fray after his energy had recovered.

This time, after being trapped by telekinetic threads emanating from a thousand soldiers, he directed the Source Divine Weapon to attack the female general while he himself used Instantaneous Light to teleport to the Return Coordinate, thus breaking free from the telekinetic threads.

Lin Qing instantly appeared before the female general, seizing the chance for close combat.

However, despite controlling seven Source Divine Weapons to besiege her and attacking furiously on his own, her telekinetic threads formed restraints that fiercely weakened him. Then, the shields held off his ferocious attacks, and she took the opportunity to distance herself from him.

Before he could charge at her again, the telekinetic threads anchored on each soldier once more restrained him.

He naturally failed again.

The female general even launched a psychic attack from afar, but Lin Qing’s willpower was strong and his telekinetic type was the highly condensed ‘Telekinesis Body’, so simple mental attacks couldn’t affect him in the slightest.

But he was still worn down to death.

After trying several times, Lin Qing finally confirmed—

His current strength truly wasn’t enough to pass.

To get through this second test, either he had to make his “Star Undying Body” Cultivation successful, leveraging the battle skill’s strong recovery abilities and ultra-fast energy restoration to keep fighting continuously.

Then he could engage in rampant slaughter until this thousand-strong army was annihilated.

Or his telekinesis had to grow strong enough to sever these telekinetic threads so he wouldn’t need to consider these soldiers any longer.

“No unadvanced vacancies…”

Lin Qing was helpless but had no choice but to wait.

With his publicly known strength, he couldn’t aspire to the highest command position in Asia.

This was a massive region of over four billion people, half of the world’s population, only governed by the two current Upper Ministers.

Even if he begged Xu Shaofeng, the Upper Minister, to let him take this position forcefully, or even as a deputy, it would still be too much.

Being an Inspector would make more sense.

A Three Star Level Elite Patrol, especially one that hadn’t studied Original-level Battle Techniques per records, would have even less right to such a position.

Once he displayed the top strength of a Three Star Level Elite Patrol, the Intelligent Star Group would investigate where he learned the Original-level Battle Technique.

Then, upon further scrutiny of his past, they would inevitably suspect he had obtained the Chuanxing Tower.

So for now, he had no choice but to endure.

He could pretend to study an Original-level Battle Technique first, wait for his Awakening Authority, and pay off his debt for the God Casting Battle Skill after half a year; then he could advance the “Star Undying Body” in the same fashion.

By then, having taken on a Divine Position and becoming a Cosmic Citizen, he wouldn’t have to worry about Intelligent Star Group forcing contracts upon him.

“I also need a Telekinesis Cultivation Method.”

After Lin Qing’s consciousness left the Chuanxing Tower, he sat in the Cultivation Room and thought quietly, “According to Jiayi’s idea, once I do what that method suggests on the 28th, will I then be able to acquire the Telekinesis Cultivation Method?”

To this point, he wasn’t sure what reciting that spell-like text at a specific moment would do.

So, he could only wait and see when the time came.

…

Time passed day by day; Lin Qing, aside from Cultivating to repay his debt, focused on mastering the newly learned “Star Undying Body” and slowly enhancing his telekinesis.

On January 20th.

“Director?”

Lin Qing looked at Tang Wanqiu, who had dropped by unexpectedly, with some surprise, “Why did you decide to come today? Not even a heads-up.”

After entering the house, Tang Wanqiu took off her hat and ran her fingers through her hair, saying, “Minister Xu specifically asked me to come quietly on my own. The headquarters thinks I’m in seclusion.”

She smiled, glancing at Lin Qing: “I’ve decided to go undercover and live near your place from now on.”

Lin Qing was taken aback, questioning, “Why? What happened?”

“For your safety.”

Tang Wanqiu sighed and shook her head slowly, “Lately, those lunatics from the Original Research Institute have become even crazier, starting to covertly assassinate Earth prodigies who have signed contracts with Intelligent Star Group, even if it’s just a simple investment contract that isn’t binding; the lunatics from the Original Research Institute want them dead.”

“Kill for that?” Lin Qing frowned.

A simple investment contract had almost no binding power; it was nothing but a gamble by Intelligent Star Group, with a minor investment that did not even qualify for fringe membership.

Like him, he had received a thousand points of investment from Intelligent Star Group, but he had yet to make a decision, so he hadn’t signed the contract.

“I haven’t signed a contract either.” Lin Qing was puzzled, “Surely not, right?”

“The Original Research Institute only knows that Intelligent Star Group approached you, and since you’re a prodigy, they naturally don’t know you haven’t signed the investment contract.”

Tang Wanqiu said gravely, “Not only are they targeting those who might join Intelligent Star Group, but they are also killing innocent people responsible for liaising within and beyond the urban circle, even daring to attack God Island and the Mo’er.”

“Have they really gone mad?” Lin Qing said in disbelief, “Shouldn’t they know that I am from the Autonomy Faction?”
