The aura blessing of the Lingzhao Realm has different manifestations according to the differences in personal talents. Some impermanent magicians' physical fitness has improved dramatically after the spiritual enlightenment, and their physical fitness has changed from a sick person to a national athlete level. There are also some impermanent magicians whose reactions are so fast that they can dodge pistol bullets purely by relying on their gunshots.
But when it came to Gongsun Ce, the situation became different. The main improvements he received due to his aura were in super power control, and his power reserve also became larger. As for the strength and responsiveness of the gun, there is no fundamental improvement compared to the past.
Shigure Reiichi explained it as "the special characteristics of superpowers", while Gongsun Ce regretfully gave up on his dream of being a superman - he thought he could become a master like the eldest lady, but it seems that there is no such good thing in reality. .
"So can I have new abilities after reaching the realm of clarity? Isn't it still possible that I can only use the silent syllable?"
"It's none of my business, get out of here after practice!"
Yan Qi issued an order to expel the guests with a stinking face. Gongsun Ce responded out of habit. Seeing that his friend had no intention of leaving, he left first.
After waiting for his friends to leave, Shigure Reiichi asked: "What are your plans next?"
"Lingzhao is a hurdle, and it will be easy to deal with once you get over it. Clarity is a matter of time and effort, and even this requires step-by-step guidance, which is the real hopeless idiot."
Yan Qi was lying on the chair, and the old god was preaching on the ground: "I told him all the important things, and I just need to learn the remaining details from Qiyao Shinto."
"Even so..." The young man in a suit thought of his friend's second violent outburst when he fell asleep, "It's difficult to resolve the resonance of the Final Sword, Mr. Yan."
Yan Qi waved his hand: "If he sees his true nature, has a spiritual light, and is still controlled by impulse, he deserves to die! As long as he doesn't act stupidly, nothing big will happen before he can achieve spiritual enlightenment."
Shigure Reiichi knew that this man was right. Clarity is something that takes time and effort, and is not as dangerous as the first time you fall into a dream. As for those who truly have their own abilities, they can only rely on themselves to think and make decisions.
In the end, the practice of impermanence must rely on oneself. This is the orthodox concept that all extraordinary forces believe in. The idea of forcibly controlling practitioners with external forces and orienting them to achieve the desired "ability" is a crooked approach that can only be destroyed. Countless painful lessons in history have proven this.
As far as he knows, there is only one organization in the contemporary era that has successfully cultivated impermanent lawmen on a large scale with this kind of distorted thinking...
Shigure Research Institute on Zero Island.
Thinking of this, Shigure Reiichi felt a little gloomy. He heard Yan Qi say: "Has Fatty Liu given you any news?"
"I received part of the plan."
Yan Qi closed his eyes and took a nap, "You can figure out the specific implementation yourself. I've stayed in this small place for long enough and I have to go out for some air!"
Shi Yurei thought to himself, you are leaving the Sky Capital, and you would rather tell me than tell Gongsun in advance. In terms of awkwardness, they are really on the same level as him. They are indeed a master and a disciple.
Yan Qi was obviously an envoy of Brahma, but his life was as awkward as an envoy of Silence. Thinking of this, he felt a little want to laugh for no reason. From this thought, he thought of that ridiculous rumor again. The first time he heard it, he almost believed it to be true, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was ridiculous.
How can there be people in this world who have cultivated both impermanent dharma to the realm of creation?
The young man in a suit put away his things, walked to the door, bowed and said, "I'm leaving, Mr. Yan."
The man in black waved his hand lazily and waited for the other party to go out before speaking.
"Don't worry. There will be time for your kid to take revenge."
Shigurei paused and turned around with a soft smile.
"I know, Mr. Yan." He said softly, "I have been waiting."

Gongsun Ce did not go to the pigeon station and flew directly into the air. It was rare for him to feel like a superman at this time. After he became proficient in superpowers, this feeling rarely appeared.
"I can fly like this for a day."
He suddenly pulled himself up and rushed to the height where the birds were flying. The air currents whistling from high in the sky were all blocked by his telekinesis, and the flying experience was as smooth as being in water.
Gongsun Ce hovered in the air far away from the surface, staring at the majestic city below him. The busy pedestrians became invisible black spots in his eyes, and the vehicles on the traffic road were like square boxes of different colors. The physical height gave him a wonderful sense of superiority, like a child staring at the newly built building blocks in front of the toy tray...
But he is not the one who created this city, and he will never reach that level. Gongsun Ce is one of the countless black spots, even smaller than the passers-by.
The gray-haired young man knew that his true nature was showing up again, but he also felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing - at least it wouldn't make him become like Rei Shigure, right?
He gathered his strength and flew towards the fixed wing area. An unlucky biochemical pigeon passed by him. The timid bird was frightened by the sudden appearance of the demon and flapped its wings in the air.
Equally unlucky was the boy in the peaked cap on the pigeon's back. He clutched the protective gear and shouted in panic: "What happened...Mr. Gongsun?!"
The gray-haired young man turned 180° in the air, flew upside down and said, "Hello Millais. I'm sorry to scare you - just smooth the feathers of the pigeons!"
The junior high school student quickly followed the instructions. The big pigeon cooed twice and returned to its docile state. He didn't know if ordinary pigeons could be tamed in such a way as to soothe dogs, but it seemed that the one carrying him would work.
"God, I won't try pigeons next time." Millais muttered in fear.
The demon had already flown far away in just a few moments. He looked at the superpowers performing fancy flying skills in the air from a distance, thinking that Mr. Gongsun must be in a good mood today.
He looked much more flamboyant than before.
·
Dingyi area, single-family house with garden.
Gongsun Ce walked into the intelligence dealer's house and said happily: "Brother, I have achieved success in my practice...brother?"
Mo Yuankai was sitting on the sofa staring at the big screen. He clenched his hands, and the features on his chubby face were squeezed into a ball. His facial expressions were extremely exaggerated, and there were even a few drops of sweat on his forehead. Anyone who sees this look can imagine the difficult situation of the information dealer. He is in a very bad mood at the moment... It is definitely not good!
Gongsun Ce twitched the corner of his mouth: "Are you hungry?"
Mo Yuankai jumped up from the sofa, his movements as fast as a elastic ball being squeezed to the limit. He rushed to his younger brother and said eagerly: "Ace, you are finally here! I will hide in the house for a while, and I will leave this video call to you!"
"ah?"
Mo Yuankai rushed towards the bedroom at a speed that was not consistent with his size, leaving the gray-haired young man confused. He looked at the big screen and saw a shining crest being displayed on this multi-function device commonly used by intelligence dealers.
Seven long swords guard the central cross star, which is the symbol of the Royal Knights of Morton.
"I--"
Gongsun Ce's face turned green immediately, and he shouted: "Brother! A man must act openly and aboveboard. If you see it, you should accept it!"
"
Mo Yuankai locked the bedroom twice without saying a word: "There is another saying that the situation is stronger than the person, and the person has to bow his head under the eaves! You go!"
"I won't do it!
"
"It's Orianna, not Airandia!
Mo Yuankai screamed, "Hurry up and help your brother!" If you don't pick her up, she'll be angry!
"
The coat of arms in the center of the screen flashed faster and faster. Gongsun Ce took a breath, knowing that he probably couldn't escape. He immediately made a long-brimmed hat out of white matter and put it on. He also made a white straw and held it in his mouth. Then he pressed the remote control with telekinesis and answered the call from a foreign country.
After flickering for a moment, the communicator finally appeared on the big screen.
Gongsun Ce met a young female knight. She has blond hair and blue eyes, and wears bright silver armor, with a pale golden garland embossed in the middle of the breastplate, and six golden patterns of wings surrounding it.
The Maiden Knight doesn't look much different from three years ago. She pursed her lips slightly, showing her serious look as always. There was a hint of anger in her soft tone, which turned into surprise as soon as she opened her mouth: "Mo... Gongsun Ce?"
The superpower person spun around in a circle, pressed the brim of his hat with his left hand, pointed at the screen with his right hand, held the white grass in his mouth and shouted enthusiastically: "Long time no see, Miss Orianna, you look as beautiful as ever!"
"..." Knight Orianna looked at him blankly, and did not speak for two full seconds.
Gongsun Ce's head start achieved great results. With just a greeting, he successfully lowered the temperature in the room by 5°C or even 10°C!
The female knight finally came to her senses and responded.
"...Thank you, thank you. Long time no see."
Gongsun Ce struck while the iron was hot, tugged on his collar and said, "We haven't seen each other for three years. Have you sensed my mature and restrained qualities, and have you sensed the chicness and handsomeness that I am unable to conceal?"
Knight Orianna tried to force herself to say something against her will, but she failed in the end. The blond knight closed his eyes and sighed, "What are you doing... Where is Mo Yuankai?"
Gongsun Ce looked out the window and said helplessly: "You know our place has always been a mess. Today there was another accident in the laboratory, and hundreds of brave and powerful biochemical kangaroo boxers were released. They were equipped with many super alloys. The function is to force everyone on the street to compete with themselves in a cyber-dark boxing match. The losing party must promise to remove all prosthetics and swear to join the biochemical revolutionary trend. Believe me, it is a very spectacular scene, don’t you You'll want to watch it. Big brother is fighting the 18-meter-tall biochemical kangaroo leader on the streets, struggling to protect our city."
Knight Orianna was overwhelmed by this series of messy words. It was obvious that the information she obtained exceeded the upper limit of a traditional impermanent person's understanding of modern technology. Orianna pressed her eyebrows and said with a little disappointment: "Well, it seems that I happened to miss it... This is not a big problem, but I need to explain the situation to you directly."
Gongsun Ce raised his hand and pointed at himself: "Me? What's the matter?"
Orianna shook her head in distress, looked at him and said, "Please make sure you are in a calm state."
"I'm very calm." Gongsun Ce told the truth.
Orianna took a deep breath and spoke seriously.
"After a series of preliminary investigations, we believe that there is a secret connection between the Liuli Disaster on February 13 and the Shigure Research Institute on Zero Island. The top management of Sky City will soon send a commissioner to Zero Island to launch a secret investigation, and he was selected as the core The person investigating the members... is you."
Gongsun Ce took off his hat, spit out the grass roots, and returned to his usual appearance.
"Okay." The gray-haired young man pushed up his glasses, "When will we set off? Do you have any teammates? What level of help can you provide? Do you have detailed information?"
Before Orianna could speak, he said firmly: "I must go, Miss Orianna. Some things cannot be compromised, just as you will defend the kingdom and your beliefs to the death."
The female knight pursed her lips tightly.
"You may need to use the Final Sword again."
Gongsun Ce looked relaxed.
"Yan Qi taught me how to open the seal, and now I can use it. If you are worried, you can teach me some sword moves as a guarantee."
Orianna thought distressedly, how do you have any melee talent?
She knew that the young man had made up his mind, and she knew that she could not stop the resolution in the tripartite talks. Orianna, who was in Morton, couldn't even do anything directly for this distant friend. She could only send a message in a hurry to let the other party prepare in advance as a consolation.
"Ling Island is very dangerous, Gongsun Ce. The number of local impermanent mages on Ling Island is relatively small, but the elites are not inferior to organizations from other countries. The enemies you will face include the Ninja Army of Wuhui Junfeng, the inhuman Hide God, Shigure in the institute may even meet... Oh, my God, no matter how I think about it..."
The more Orianna spoke, the more worried she became. The majestic knight disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by a girl Gongsun Ce was very familiar with: sentimental, innocent and kind, full of worries, and prone to crying.
Right now, she was immersed in her own emotions, completely forgetting that Gongsun Ce, as a superpower, didn't know any of the forces she mentioned.
Gongsun Ce smiled and asked: "Are they comparable to Knight Morton?"
Orianna immediately got back to work. She smiled reservedly, shook her head and said: "The Knights are not suitable as a comparison object for Zero Island's power, my friend."
The gray-haired young man snapped his fingers: "Mr. Gongsun, I have fought side by side with the knights. What am I afraid of? Relax, Miss Orianna, I will never throw my life away there, and I promise to survive until I return to the sky." Even—I’m still waiting to attend your wedding with your eldest brother.”
The blond knight's face turned red. She said in a high voice: "You should not say such rude words to a single lady! I, we have not officially established a relationship yet!"
"Ah, yes, yes, my, my, my."
Orianna turned her head away in embarrassment. Three years have passed, and this guy is still acting casually and has no real integrity. But after hearing this, she felt subtly relieved. She found that her old friend had indeed changed, and that change was not limited to his appearance, but also to his heart.
"Oh, I know you will definitely go." Orianna sighed sadly, "Someone will tell you everything you need to know later. I am too far away from you to really do anything to help you, so..."
Gongsun Ce said quickly: "So you are going to give me some mysterious advice. For reasons that I should know that I shouldn't know, you won't explain your advice to me clearly. Also for reasons that I shouldn't know, I can't know." This suggestion may work in subtle ways later. Tell me your riddle now."
Orianna glared at him angrily: "Please be quiet, sir!"
The superpower shut up obediently. The misfortune of the creation realm made the god speak in a soft and low tone, like a witch wearing a burqa in an old cartoon.
"Zero Island is shrouded in a chaotic vortex. Many events occur without reason, without premises, and do not conform to the logic of the real world."
"There is always bad luck coming, and occasionally good luck falls from the sky. Careful thinking may not be effective, and you will encounter inexplicable events, the source of which is often obscure. You will be confused and doubtful, but you must remember that unequal transactions It’s still a deal.”
"If you pay 100 gold coins, you may only be able to get back 1 piece of candy. But if you don't pay, there will be no reward."
Orianna nodded slightly, indicating that she had finished speaking.
Gongsun Ce finished memorizing it in his mind and said seriously: "Thank you for the riddle."
"I don't want this to make me look like a mage." Orianna smiled at her friend, "Take care, Gongsun Ce. Say hello to Mo for me, and remember to write when you have time."
"Thank you, Miss Orianna. Please say thank you to the Dawn Knight for me." The young man rubbed his hair, "Don't ask why."
Orianna blinked and decided not to ask about the details between the two. Her face was zoomed in on the screen, and it looked like the female knight on the other end was trying to close the communication, but was not going well.
"Oh, I remember clicking here." She said with a slight embarrassment, "By the way, how is Mo Yuankai's condition now? I heard you said that he is a little out of shape... doesn't he have a belly anymore?"
Gongsun Ce tried his best to hold back his laughter and replied coquettishly: "Almost, almost."
"The old mage's hat! Please help me remind him to pay attention to his shape, otherwise I will be really angry."
Orianna's image disappeared, and it seemed that she had finally succeeded in cutting off the communication.
Gongsun Ce sat back on the sofa and said angrily: "He's gone!"
There was the sound of unlocking behind the bedroom door. Mo Yuankai walked out nervously and sat down next to his younger brother, almost raising the gray-haired young man's head.
"Almost died."
When Orianna sees you like this, you can remove the word "almost".
"Brother, Orianna is very optimistic. I think you just have a little belly." The gray-haired young man said sincerely: "I suggest you speed up your weight loss progress, otherwise you will really be unable to hide it after a while."
Mo Yuankai's expression was extremely painful: "Can you care about yourself first?"
"I have nothing to worry about. I am on official business as an imperial envoy." The gray-haired young man stood up and acted like an actor on the stage, "Clearly aware of everything ~ selfless ~ find out the truth and kill all the shady actors. Er Jing, give Lingdao a bright future!"
Mo Yuankai applauded repeatedly: "Okay! Responsible! He is really a good man. No more gossip, let's get ready to go."
"Then I'm sure... not, ah?" Gongsun Ce had an ominous premonition in his heart, "Wait a minute, when will we set off?"
"Leave tonight."
"when?"
The tipster smiled and repeated, "Tonight."
"Damn it, big brother, please give me some support."
"My equipment is too impressive. How can you use it when you go on a secret mission?" Mo Yuankai leaned back on the sofa, "Remote support can help you. Go find the white coat for mission supplies."
