It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 199 Humph! Want to escape? !

"..."

"..."

After a brief silence.

Suzumiya Haruhi opened her lips slightly, staring at him with a bit of surprise. After a few seconds, she finally came to her senses, and immediately grabbed his arm tightly, her tone slightly excited: "Well, was there thunder just now? Was it that?"

"..."

"..."

"That should be it—"

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and confirmed this fact in a firm tone: "It seems to be coming faster than I expected."

——The power of thunder is extraordinary, just by listening to it, like the roar of anger from heaven.

——It is by no means comparable to an ordinary thunderstorm, and its power is so strong that it cannot be underestimated.

In fact, ordinary thunderstorms would never be able to shake this special area. The relationship between this place and the outside world is no longer simply good sound insulation, but a semi-independent, semi-enclosed unnatural space. However, even so, the roar just now was so terrifying...

The sound was so loud that it was like the collapse of heaven and earth. If one were to be in the outside world, one would wonder whether the entire world would be torn apart by this huge apocalypse.

But there was no response or sound from outside.

A literary girl shouldn't be so dull and would never be unaware of this.

Or--

This Nine Heavens Thunder, which sounds extremely powerful, seems to be targeted only at this specific space. Is it targeting the coordinates of the area where he is located?

——Therefore, it could only be the so-called heavenly calamity.

——That is, the "Thunder Shock" specifically aimed at oneself.

Although the effect was immediate, or simply amazingly good, Xia Zhi still decided to finalize the matter decisively. After all, it would be better to make it a fixed matter. Although it was a bit abrupt, he had indeed waited too long and was unwilling to wait any longer.

Now I finally changed my way of thinking, allowing Miss Suzumiya to understand her realm improvement from another perspective——

In her opinion, as long as Xia Zhi completes a specific "challenge task", he can unlock a higher level cap. The conditions are intuitive and clear.

Satisfy the prerequisites, complete the task, level +1...

This is much easier to understand, and no longer requires understanding the abstract concepts from the "Qi training period" to the "foundation building period" as before. Miss Suzumiya has a more intuitive understanding of this, which is very clear and easy to understand.

Therefore, in order to avoid more trouble, Xia Zhi decided to get it done as soon as possible, so as to avoid other problems. Anyway, his state was constant and he didn't need to make any more preparations. Or it could be said that he was already prepared. Whether it was one second ago or one second later, he did not change in the flow of time and always maintained a stable state.

“Is that true…”

After receiving a positive answer, Miss Suzumiya was stunned for a moment.

Then, as if she had not yet fully accepted this fact, she murmured to herself, her tone revealing some indescribable emotions.

Xia Zhi, who was thinking with his head down, couldn't help but look at her, and then he felt a little guilty for taking advantage of her. He sighed, and was about to say a few words to comfort her, saying that this was actually no big deal and that he would definitely be able to get through it.

But at this moment, the captain let out a long breath.

"Hey! Can I go and see it together!?"

She seemed to have recovered from the sudden news, her face blossomed with surprise, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Then, she excitedly pulled Xia Zhi's arm and shook it: "Can you take me to see it! This must be very interesting!"

"..."

"..."

At this moment, the air became quiet again.

Xia Zhi's expression was somewhat frozen. After he reacted, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and look at the unconscious goddess in front of him.

He started to complain, "Wait, you're not behaving right, Suzumiya-san...shouldn't you be worried about me right now?"

"Why worry about this? You will be fine. Weren't you still alive and well in August? Nothing happened. There will be no problem!"

The girl said disapprovingly, her eyes still shining: "So can you let me take a look later? I have never seen anything like this before!"

"It would be a problem only if you could see it! And what's so good about watching me get struck by lightning!" The young man broke free from her hand without leaving a trace, then stretched out an index finger and rubbed his brow.

This dramatic turn of events was so ridiculous, and it happened to him, which made him suddenly not know what to say.

The team leader reacted very quickly. As she had already experienced the summer vacation in advance, she naturally came to this conclusion. This was undoubtedly a good thing, which meant that she had a "bottom line" and the "challenge mission" of the summer solstice would definitely be completed, so there was no need to worry.

But...

I always feel like something is not right.

But this is also normal. Even if ordinary people know the result, they can't help but worry about the process. However, Suzumiya Haruhi is not an ordinary person. She is an unconscious goddess, so she really depends on the result.

Thinking of this, he sighed and stopped worrying about it. At this time, the rumbling thunder was close at hand and imminent.

shock……

Trembling…

Feeling a clear vibration coming from under his feet, Xia Zhi calmly glanced around.

He noticed that this special space, which had been very stable since its construction, was now constantly shaking.

It felt like the entire building was shaking under your feet, making you wonder if there was an earthquake or something. Although the surrounding smooth metal walls were still solid without any cracks, this level of strength was not something that could be achieved by simple materials and craftsmanship.

Rather, it is the unreasonable mystery and technology that bring the double blessing.

However, even so, the sound insulation could not block the continuous rumbling sounds that sounded like frying beans.

——It seems to be getting closer...

——Getting closer…

Although he got the guaranteed result, Xia Zhi felt an indescribable palpitation in his heart. He reacted quickly and turned his gaze to the leader next to him. He found that the girl was full of excitement, with a curious light in her eyes, staring at the vibrations around her, as if she was in deep thought.

Perhaps it was because those sounds could only be heard but not seen that her imagination became wild. In this deafening sound, Suzumiya Haruhi might be weaving all kinds of wonderful imaginations in her little head,
As expected! This "challenge task" is a black box like the original lottery. You have to complete the lottery as soon as possible and confirm the result!

So that she wouldn't continue to imagine more troubles.

This situation, which seemed to be constantly patching up the opponent, was really unsettling, and he had to act quickly to stop her imagination from spreading further.

"Okay, I'm leaving..."

He spoke quickly, and his figure suddenly became blurred.

"Suzumiya, go find Yuki later. She will tell you the details and what you should do next."

"what?"

Suzumiya Haruhi, who was looking around with great interest and immersed in her own thoughts, heard him say this and suddenly had a sense of uneasiness in her heart. She immediately turned her head and saw his figure begin to fade and become hazy.

She was anxious: "Hey! Wait for me!"

next moment--

Everything around seemed to be frozen.

The space was no longer turbulent, the sound disappeared, and the air in the entire room seemed to be still.

At this quiet moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. The door was gently pushed open, and the figures of Nagato Yuki and Asakura Ryoko appeared outside. Looking at the empty workshop without the two figures, the former looked calm, while the latter looked a little troubled.

"really--"

"not here."

........................

........................

First, the boundless thunderclouds were like a tumbling giant beast, spitting out dazzling arcs of electricity, spreading in all directions, making the entire void filled with an ominous black and red luster.

Secondly, the surrounding force field fluctuated violently, and all kinds of matter surged like boiling water, as if even the vacuum was affected by some mysterious force and could not maintain its original calm.

In the distance, huge fireballs repel each other under the impetus of self-gravity and fusion, burning endlessly, releasing brilliant light and fiery energy. Magnetic fields, cosmic winds, and high-energy particles constantly fluctuate and churn in the face of this force.

This was the environmental information he read first.

It is messy, disorganized, and without any rules, yet it also contains a majestic aura of destruction.

Xia Zhi did not lock onto the source of the thunder to teleport, but wanted to leave the workshop first and then see what happened. However, perhaps due to some kind of mechanism at the rule level, the teleportation location changed silently, and the moment he teleported out, he found himself in the desolate space.

Icy.

But it's not dead silent, nor is it pitch black.

Because of the strange and loud thunder echoing in the vacuum and the countless rays of light that appeared across the sky, the vast outer space was lit up, as if it was a grand carnival in the universe.

The thunder roared like ancient war drums, stirring on this empty vacuum stage, and together with the flickering light of robbery, it performed a grand and mysterious cosmic symphony.

Of course, the most important thing is...

"What are you doing?!"

Grabbing Suzumiya Haruhi's arm and ignoring the girl's shouting, Xiazhi's tone was strange and weak.

Logically speaking, I had actually completed the teleportation at that time, which means that I was no longer in my original position.

The afterimage she saw was just a residual image left by her vision. In this case, how could she reach out and grab her arm and be transported along with it? This is totally unscientific... However, this strange thing happened and became an ironclad fact.

“Ugh—eh eh eh eh—!!”

The girl struggled hard, waving her hands and feet, and was obviously not used to the sudden weightlessness. She was still yelling something subconsciously.

After finally stabilizing herself, she took a few quick breaths, but she didn't worry about her situation at the first moment. Instead, she glared at him angrily: "What are you doing?! Why did you suddenly say that? You said you were leaving! It seems like you're not going to be here anymore!"

It was as if he was going to never come back, saying such things!

This was why she suddenly felt angry and anxious, and subconsciously wanted to "catch him".

"You've thought too much. What I mean by leaving is that I can't stay there, otherwise I will only attract the heavenly calamity..." The young man explained, but compared to his apparent calmness, he actually felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Hmph! Who knows? It sounds like you just want to take advantage of the situation and run away!" The girl glared at him, looking angry.

"What do you mean by eating everything up and wanting to run away... Don't be so vulgar, who did I eat..." Xia Zhi sighed deeply, refusing to admit such scumbag behavior.

"Well--"

Miss Suzumiya also reacted at this time and was speechless for a moment, but she didn't know why she blurted out subconsciously, "Anyway, it's your fault. Saying something like that will easily lead to misunderstandings!"

"Okay, okay..."

The young man dealt with it with an expression of helplessness on the surface, but he felt more and more guilty in his heart.

What the goddess said just now was definitely what she blurted out in a hurry, because she actually saw through the truth unconsciously... That's right, after he cheated the opportunity to upgrade, he had the idea of running away with the bucket, thinking of leaving immediately after overcoming the tribulation.

Because in the short term, this copy doesn't seem to have any stable or greater benefits -

There is only a greater risk of instability.

Even if the future is a foregone conclusion and it is determined that he will still be in this world until at least the summer vacation in August, that is also a matter of the "future"... perhaps it may be something that happens after he makes his next trip and enters this world again?
He made a bold assumption, boldly sought verification, and was decisively prepared to take action.

However, I didn't expect...

A certain goddess seemed to be aware of his irresponsible behavior, and even when he had calculated perfectly and successfully escaped, she still caught him in some reasonable yet unreasonable way.

"Be quiet, it's about to begin!"

Seeing that the girl still looked indignant, Xia Zhi quickly interrupted her and prepared to divert her attention.

next moment--

There was a deafening roar, as if the sky and earth were collapsing.

Above the boundless thunderclouds, a vast ocean suddenly descended!

The unimaginable destructive force turned into black thunder that struck down from the sky, shocking everyone!
"Hey! Are you just...just going to get beaten like this?"

Faced with such a massive thunder tribulation, the captain was obviously a little nervous, even though in fact, she should be the one who had least to worry about.

"Of course... not! Building a foundation, what is laid is naturally the foundation for achieving enlightenment. This is actually a harsh test. I need to reconstruct my own strength in this test and achieve several key indicators..."

Xia Zhi said quickly without changing his expression, while taking her to constantly move and change, passing through the gaps between countless lightning strikes. And all this was just a prelude, and not just one by one, but one after another, the frequency was getting faster and faster, and more and more dense...

But this was just the beginning, so he wouldn't be unable to hold on immediately.

Otherwise, there is definitely no hope of getting through.

At this point, Xia Zhi no longer worried about the fact that the captain had followed him. After all, although he was a burden on the surface, he was actually the best helper.

As expected, she subconsciously asked:
"What indicator?"

"The first one is naturally 'energy'. Without it, everything is empty." The young man said seriously, "Since it is a foundation, the foundation should be applicable to the universe, not just useful in certain specific occasions. Otherwise, it is not a foundation, but a bubble that will burst at the slightest touch..."

——For example, a person with super powers who only has super powers in a closed space...

——Can that be considered a superpower?!
"So, so?" The girl asked subconsciously, not knowing what was happening.

"So in terms of energy, the foundation-building cultivators must get rid of the shackles of the Qi training period and no longer be restricted by the environment and spiritual energy. Instead, they should open up the bridge between heaven and earth and be able to obtain energy freely anywhere."

"This... can it be done?" Suzumiya Haruhi was a little skeptical.

"of course!"

Of course Xia Zhi wanted to convince the leader that it was possible, so he directly brought out the theory: "After all, energy is everywhere. Even in a vacuum there is a huge amount of background energy, which still exists at absolute zero."

"The vacuum is not empty. All matter in the universe comes from zero-point electromagnetic fluctuation energy. Every material particle in our body is constantly exchanging energy with the vacuum zero-point energy. According to the properties of the physical vacuum, we can extract energy from any point in the universe."

The young man explained this seriously, indicating that this has a reliable theoretical basis.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart and raised his head as if he realized something.

The sea of thunder and lightning surged in the sky, and the lightning flashes were like a gorgeous waterfall. They were black rays of light, and they were not scattered, but emerged in groups, shining brightly. It had only been a few minutes since the beginning, and it had risen to such a terrifying intensity.

It became difficult for him to dodge, and the nano-intelligence, which was computing at full power, could no longer accurately predict the location of each falling lightning.

But that's not the point -

The key point is the highest point of the thundercloud. There seems to be a huge gap at the end of the broken sky. The depth of the gap is connected to another dimension, faintly revealing a completely unfamiliar breath.

Huh?
He looked down at the girl in doubt, somewhat unsure.
