Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

No, you're really going to drink it?

Seeing his entire body shrouded in eerie black mist, and his grotesque appearance, He Li opened his mouth and actually drank the immortal blood...

Qingyang Mountain Spirit suddenly felt a sense of admiration for He Li.

He knew perfectly well that the immortal blood was problematic.

Yet they still dared to drink it directly.

But what's going on with him now? It seems to be some kind of special transformation technique, but... Qingyang Mountain Spirit stared at He Li with some doubt and uncertainty in his heart.

Although he couldn't see through He Li's situation, his instincts were sending him signals...

Danger, danger, and more danger!!!

This was the signal his instincts were sending him.

This also made it difficult for the spirits of Qingyang Mountain to remain calm.

After all, he was an ancient being who had lived for thousands of years and witnessed countless powerful figures and many things. In the past, although he had encountered beings who made him feel immense pressure...

But looking back over those thousands of years, no one had ever given him such a strong sense of danger.

Even in that feeling...

It also revealed a hint of something that gave him the creeps, as if he were facing some incomprehensible and terrifying existence, which made him even more suspicious of He Li's situation.

"What exactly are these martial artists from the lower realm...?"

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain stared solemnly at He Li, who had already swallowed the immortal blood and seemed to be digesting it.

However, before he could come up with anything...

He Li then digested the immortal blood.

As the black mist around him gradually dissipated, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain clearly sensed an extremely terrifying spiritual energy within He Li's body, of immeasurable mass, that seemed about to erupt...

boom!!!

Sure enough, the next moment, the spiritual energy, so dense that it had become a tangible mist with a visibility of less than half a meter, gushed out from every part of He Li's body like a fountain.

The spiritual energy enveloped the surrounding area for several miles in the blink of an eye.

And He Li's imposing manner...

It also began to rise steadily.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain was not a martial artist, so it was impossible to determine exactly how much He Li had improved his cultivation level.

However, Yu Ji and Mu Lan knew, and they also witnessed, the scene where He Li's whole body was shining with light, as if all his spiritual apertures were instantly filled and bursting with brilliant light.

The light was so intense that even the spiritual mist couldn't block it.

Both of them were so shocked that they couldn't help but cover their mouths.

"Has his spiritual awareness fully opened?"

Mu Lan muttered to herself.

"It should be, and... judging from the situation, his dantian should have been successfully formed as well."

Yu Ji continued, her beautiful eyes also fixed on He Li's blurry figure in the dense spiritual mist: "His spiritual aperture seems to be much larger than that of an ordinary martial artist."

"To fill it, more spiritual energy is needed."

"I just don't know how his condensed dantian differs from that of ordinary martial artists."

"And it seems he's still improving..."

"It's not just an improvement in his cultivation level!" Mu Lan managed to calm herself down and stepped back a little, saying, "That immortal blood is probably also enhancing his physique and even changing his bones and muscles!"

"Look..."

Along with Mu Lan's voice, Yu Ji also saw new changes appearing on the blurry He Li.

His meridians, perhaps influenced by the immortal blood and connected by a massive amount of spiritual energy, were emitting a faint red glow at this moment, and from a distance, one could vaguely see the glowing branches of the meridians.

And those meridians are particularly wide.

Ten ordinary martial artists probably couldn't compare.

At the same time, the meridians on He Li's body soon began to emit a faint green glow again.

A gentle breeze was blowing through the surrounding mist.

The gentle breeze, centered on He Li, formed a vortex carrying a dense mist of spiritual energy, swirling around him. What puzzled Yu Ji and Mu Lan even more was that it seemed to be carried by the breeze...

They felt a stinging pain.

It seemed that the breeze was like a knife, easily cutting their clothes and even their skin, causing blood to spill out.

The ground was also cut into a mess.

As the area covered by the breeze grew larger and larger...

And the wind is getting stronger and stronger.

The two had no choice but to quickly retreat and get away.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai...

"What...what is that? A typhoon?"

On the coast, investigators from nearby towns, dispatched by Kyoto, were there to help clean up the mess left by criminals including members of martial arts families and sects...

They were staring in astonishment at the distant sea.

They could clearly see a huge, blue whirlpool suddenly appear on the distant sea.

"That...that's not a typhoon!!!"

"That's... spiritual energy!!!"

"Something's not right. There's definitely a problem over there, and judging by the commotion, it seems like a serious situation. We investigators might not be able to handle it!"

"Quickly, notify the bureau to send someone over!"

"Holy crap! Should we hide first?"

"That typhoon... no, that spiritual energy storm seems to be getting bigger and bigger!"

"God knows what terrifying things are in there!"

"Yes, yes, quick, get out of here!!!"

Amidst the shouts, investigators near the coast of Shanghai, seeing the spiritual energy storm growing larger and closer, led the criminals they had captured away from the coastal area.

At the same time, the Special Affairs Bureau in the surrounding areas of Shanghai also quickly received reports of the situation on the coast.

They dared not be careless.

After all, a notice had just come down from above, saying that Shanghai was the primary area for the Middle Realm Qi Refiners to attack their Blue Star, and reminding them to make sure that the strong people in the bureau were ready.

Now an unusual situation has suddenly arisen...

They also had to be cautious.

After a brief exchange, the special bureaus in the surrounding areas quickly formed regional-level teams and headed towards the location where the spiritual energy storm had appeared in order to find out what had happened.

However, it wasn't until they reached the vicinity of the sea where the spiritual energy storm had formed that someone discovered...

They simply couldn't get into the eye of the storm.

This terrifying storm of spiritual energy not only carries an extremely cold power that seems capable of freezing people to death instantly, but it is also extremely sharp, capable of cutting people to pieces as soon as they get close.

Even the one with the strongest defense among them...

Even a slight approach was enough for the wind at the edge of the storm to scrape away flesh and blood, revealing stark white bones.

If they hadn't run so fast...

That means it's not just flesh and blood that's been scraped off.

Their lives will all be taken away.

However, just as they were shocked by the terror of the storm, they discovered something that surprised them: there were other people already nearby.

"You are... investigators from Shu Prefecture?"

"What are you doing here?"

As his gaze swept over the badges worn by Yu Ji and the others, Ma Han, the leader of the five-person team composed entirely of prefecture-level investigators, widened his eyes.

His surprise stemmed not from anything else, but mainly from the fact that the two investigators seemed to have relatively low martial arts levels.

It seems they haven't even reached the Profound Realm.

But they appeared here...

With that kind of strength, they'd be dead if they even encountered a storm, right?

How did they get here?

As they were talking, Mahan noticed the strange green creature following behind them. He was wary because it gave him a sense of danger.

This made him start to overthink...

"Could it be that these two investigators were brought here by that strange creature?"

"Did they cause this strange storm too?"

He pondered for a moment and signaled to his teammates to be careful.

Seeing this, Yu Ji worried that it might be a misunderstanding.

She quickly waved her hand and spoke...

"We are investigators from Bacheng."

"We came here with He Li, and he's currently in the eye of the storm, working on a breakthrough."

"You don't need to be nervous..."

Hmm? What's the reason? A breakthrough? ???

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

That eerie storm was so fierce that even the investigators at the Profound Knowledge Realm, and even those close to the Void Control Realm, dared not approach it. And yet you're saying... wait? Who was he/she just talking about?

"What...what's the point?!!!"

"The Bone-Chewing Yama?"

As if realizing something, Ma Han hurriedly asked.

Mu Lan, standing next to Yu Ji, nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's He Li, the one you're thinking of."

"Is it really him? How come he..."

Seeing that Mu Lan gave an affirmative answer, Ma Han looked at the hundred-foot storm with disbelief on his face.

Although he had long heard of He Li's great name and knew that this was a ruthless man who single-handedly suppressed the entire city of Shanghai, killing criminals who fled in panic...

You can see the commotion the other party makes with your own eyes...

Only then did he realize how vast the gap was between them.

"Wow, is this what a top-tier genius is like?"

"Just a breakthrough, and the commotion he casually made was enough to crush our Profound Knowledge Realm Earth-level Investigators. This strength... is probably only worthy of a Land Immortal!"

Staring at the terrifying storm of spiritual energy, Mahan and the other investigators present were filled with admiration.

At the same time, perhaps He Li's breakthrough has come to an end...

That terrifying storm of spiritual energy...

The amplification has finally stopped!
