The Magic Lamp Ability: Starting with One Person in the Republic of China Era

Moreover, the Heart Explosion Technique requires locking and then reactivating, and although this process is very quick, taking less than a second, there is indeed such a time involved.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the person you want to kill stays within a three-meter radius of you for the required amount of time.

"It takes about one-third of a second from locking on to activating the spell. Although it's very short, it also means that my speed cannot exceed 18 meters per second, otherwise I won't be able to complete the locking and activation process." Zhou Ming let out a slight sigh.

The corpse beneath his feet gradually withered, and a Blood Fiend Talisman emerged from it, merging into his body along with the power of the Blood Fiend.

This corpse is the last one that can still be used to refine the Blood Fiend Talisman; the others have been dead for too long.

"However, we can make use of these wastes. Blood Demon Soldiers don't care whether the soul is still relatively intact." With a thought, Zhou Ming immediately put his four Blood Demon Soldiers into action.

One of them was a newly trained Blood Demon Soldier. He walked up to a corpse, his body enveloped in red light, extracting blood, vital energy, and life force.

Half an hour later, the army set off again.

Zhou Ming continued to operate like a vengeful ghost, secretly carving out one position after another, ensuring the entire army could move freely.

As the light of dawn gradually appeared, a huge building came into view.

"Boom boom boom!"

The continuous roar of explosions and shells hitting the walls had no effect whatsoever.

"Damn it, what kind of material is this? We've been bombarding it for two hours, and there's not a single crack."

Zhou Ming had just arrived when he heard the loud cursing.

He glanced at him and saw a burly, unshaven military officer.

Just then, Wan Baoming walked over with Liu Yan and immediately saw the body on the stretcher.

“Old Ding…is dead!” Wan Baoming paused slightly.

"He sacrificed himself to save me," Zhou Ming said expressionlessly.

He wasn't used to showing his emotions too obviously in front of others. He would usually smile and respond, but now he just wanted to wrap himself up like an ice sculpture. He didn't need comfort or empathy; he just wanted to be ruthless enough when he took revenge.

Upon hearing this, Wan Baoming looked at Zhou Ming's state and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only reach out and pat Zhou Ming's shoulder.

"Old Ding will be recognized as a martyr," Wan Baoming said softly before changing the subject.

His gaze immediately fell upon three Blood Demon soldiers dressed in night clothes and one in tattered clothes.

“What are these four things?” Wan Baoming frowned.

“Living puppets, I trained them with four Japanese superhumans. Team leader, you can treat them as zombies.” After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he left with the two soldiers carrying Ding Chu’s corpse.

He needed to find a place to bury Uncle Ding.

"Xiao Ming practiced evil arts?" Wan Baoming looked at Zhou Ming's back, his expression changing slightly, and finally asked.

"What evil or not? Killing Japanese devils is good kung fu. Team leader, don't get senile." Wang Wen, who had been silent until now, retorted to Wan Baoming without any politeness.

Wan Baoming was slightly taken aback, but then he laughed in anger. He glared at Wang Wen and said, "You son of a bitch, do you think you're the only one who's protective of his own? I'm protective too, but I need to figure out what's going on first."

"Ah! I thought you were going to interrogate me, team leader?" Wang Wen said, somewhat surprised, scratching his head to cover his embarrassment.

Chapter 30 Determines the Method to Activate the Cheat Code

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Wan Baoming said.

“I don’t know the specifics, but the technique Xiaoming practices is indeed very strange. It seems that he can become stronger by killing people, but it can only enhance that red, bloody power. In addition, he can also turn the corpses of supernatural beings into a kind of throwing knife magic weapon, and turn living people into living puppets that can use that red power just like him,” Wang Wen said after thinking for a moment.

Wan Baoming's brows furrowed deeper as he listened. The mere fact that killing could make one stronger was already pricking the nerves of those prestigious sects.

Moreover, there are two other abilities that are also fearsome. When Wan Baoming, a weapon refiner, heard that he could use the corpses of supernatural beings to refine flying knives and magical artifacts, his heart skipped a beat.

These ten words already sound extremely evil, but the benefits they represent make one even more inclined to harbor malicious intentions.

As a weapon refiner, Wan Baoming knew very well how difficult it was to refine a magic weapon, and even more so how precious a magic weapon was.

“Now we can confirm one thing: the situation on the Japanese side was caused by Zhou Ming. He obtained this technique but did not use it to harm civilians. Instead, he used it to deal with the invaders. Therefore, Zhou Ming is definitely not someone who has fallen into demonic ways.” Wang Wu, who looked like a scholar, suddenly stepped forward and said.

"Fifth Brother, I didn't expect you to be so understanding. I thought you would be a stubborn old man." Wang Wen's eyes lit up as he came over and put his arm around Wang Wu's shoulder.

"It seems everyone agrees, which makes things easier. Outsiders can't control us, and the higher-ups won't cut off their own hands at this time," Wan Baoming nodded and said.

"Team leader, what's the situation now?" Wang Wu asked hurriedly when he heard the cannon fire start again.

Upon hearing this, Wan Baoming's face fell, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "The Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters is the enemy's command center. We originally wanted to quickly break through it and drive the Japanese army directly into the sea."

"As it turns out, the outer wall is a meter thick. After being bombarded for more than two hours, there wasn't a single crack. Now everyone is at a loss, and we have no idea what's going on inside."

Hearing this, Zhou Ming, who had just returned, said, "I can try to investigate the situation inside."

"Xiaoming? What are you going to do?" Wan Baoming asked, somewhat puzzled.

Wang Wen and Wang Wu, who were standing next to him, suddenly lit up and said, "That's right, your ghost dog can walk through walls, which is perfect for going inside to investigate the situation."

"Ghost dog?" Wan Baoming roughly knew what type of ability it was.

A crimson aura of bloodlust surged from Zhou Ming's body, and the Blood Demon Hound leaped out from it.

The Bloodhound leaped underground and sprinted away into the distance.

When it reached the wall, it poked its head out and blended into the wall.

A feeling of going against the current washed over Zhou Ming, and he felt uneasy, but he still controlled the Bloodhound to continue moving forward.

When it had penetrated most of the wall, the inner side of that meter of wall was almost within reach, and just as it was about to be passed through, a white light flashed.

A force was instantly generated, sending the Bloodhound flying.

"Woof!" The Bloodhound howled and fell into the ground. It took a while for it to resurface, baring its teeth and glaring fiercely at the wall.

They moved to the side and came to another wall, then tried to pass through it again.

A moment later, a flash of white light appeared, and the dog was thrown out again.

Zhou Ming frowned slightly and directly controlled the Bloodhound to penetrate from the ground, but a beam of white light still repelled the Bloodhound.

“No, both the ground and the walls are protected by a white light. My Bloodhound is too weak; it can’t get through at all,” Zhou Ming said with a grim expression.

"Don't worry too much. Our special operations team, the Green Gang, the Iron Blood Society, and all sorts of privately supported superhumans are helpless here. You don't need to worry too much," Wan Baoming said, patting Zhou Ming on the shoulder.

"I don't believe it can be defended from the sky." Zhou Ming said, then looked up at the sky.

The two blood eagles immediately fixed their gaze on the Marine Corps headquarters below.

The entire headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps is enormous, resembling a giant ship.

The whole structure is a rectangular ring with rounded corners and enough space in the middle. At this moment, a large number of soldiers are gathered in it, and a Japanese officer seems to be giving a speech.

Zhou Minggang instructed the two blood eagles to descend, preparing to enter the building to gather more information.

Two arrows suddenly flew out, whistling twice, and directly blasted the two blood eagles apart.

Because his five senses were connected, Zhou Ming also fully experienced the feeling of death. His breathing paused slightly before returning to normal.

"My Blood Eagle was destroyed. The enemy used bows and arrows, but it didn't seem to be a physical entity..." Zhou Ming immediately shared the information he knew.

"Judging from your description, this is also a master." Wan Baoming looked at the building, which resembled a super fortress.

"It seems that not only the elites of the Japanese army are gathered here, but also the elites among the supernatural beings."

"Team leader, what's our next task?" Zhou Ming asked, looking at the troops who had stopped shelling.

“It’s still under discussion. You can take this opportunity to rest.” Wan Baoming shook his head and said, “I also need to go back to continue the meeting. We can’t let them use us as cannon fodder and push us to the front. If we’re going to go, we should all go together.”

"Xiao Yan, you take these three to our camp."

After Wan Baoming finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

"Come with me! I'll take you to the camp," Liu Yan finally spoke.

"Xiao Yan, how's the battle going over here? Is it just constant bombardment?" Wang Wu asked from behind.

"We organized an initial assault, but the entrance was quite narrow, heavily guarded by the enemy, and had a lot of heavy firepower, so we couldn't get in at all," Liu Yan said, shaking her head.

"Have the other people in the industry come?" Wang Wen asked.

“The Iron Blood Society, the Green Gang, the Little Putuo Temple, and other forces have all arrived, numbering over a hundred, all of them skilled fighters,” Liu Yan said.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should coordinate with the army to launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside. Everyone should take this opportunity to rest and recover their strength," Wang Wu said to the others with a serious expression after making a quick judgment.

Zhou Ming nodded, and after arriving at the camp, he greeted the other team members and went to sleep immediately.

Consciousness entered the body, and the primordial runes shone brightly, emitting a clear and bright red light.

An invisible flame burned throughout Zhou Ming's upper dantian, and his spiritual thoughts were refined to a very pure state.

He focused his mind on the four orbs of light, his gaze settling on the second orb, which, compared to the previous pure white screen, was now about 85% transparent.

"It really is a change in mental power. It seems this is the key to unlocking the cheat system," Zhou Ming thought to himself.

The time lost by more than ten percent in one night, and the strength did not improve much in one night, only the mental state underwent a drastic change.

Intense emotions, a change in mindset, and a liberation of cognition have greatly enhanced my spiritual cultivation.

Chapter 31 The Operation of Entering the Trap

Zhou Ming's spirit merged into the first transparent sphere of light, and once again he stood firmly on the ground beside the burning campfire.

Looking at the campfire, Zhou Ming could now slightly influence it, unlike before when it was unshakeable.

"Still no good." Zhou Ming frowned slightly and turned his gaze to the last lamp.

"Essence, energy, and spirit—only the final Qi is missing. But it absolutely cannot be casually integrated into the cultivation technique; the effects of a weak technique are far too great." Zhou Ming sensed the four lamps that had already been activated.

The most basic lamp is nothing special, but the differences between the remaining three lamps are very obvious.

Among them, the burning effect of the Essence Lamp is the worst. Burning every moment does not significantly improve physical strength. This is because the Iron Shirt technique is not a high-level or top-tier technique.

On the contrary, the best burning lamp is the spirit lamp. Zhou Ming's own comprehension of the Seven Aperture Spirit Lamp Technique is very profound and can barely be considered a top-tier skill.

However, it is already set in stone, and the only way to improve it is through the practice of the Seven Aperture Spirit Lamp Mystic Method.

On the contrary, the lamp of the primordial spirit has another chance for enlightenment and transformation.

Similarly, this future source of vital energy cannot be casually integrated into cultivation techniques.

“In terms of strength, I have the Blood Demon Curse, which allows me to improve rapidly without worrying about potential or the future, but these lamps cannot do that.” Zhou Ming knew clearly that these lamps were the foundation of his cultivation.

Without these magic lamps, they would have gone mad or died long ago.
