High Martial Arts: Creating a Prodigy Character from Scratch

"A collapse of reason? I never imagined you were a cultist!"

Xu Yunxiu's eyes were cold, and a terrifying sword intent erupted. Even Qin He felt a sharp pain on his cheek, as if it were being scraped by a knife.

Lin Bao appeared to be severely injured, coughing up large amounts of blood and fleeing in a panic.

Faced with a swordsman like Xu Yunxiu, Lin Bao had no intention of pursuing Qin He; he needed to consider whether he could escape from Xu Yunxiu's clutches.

"Go straight at this intersection. At the end of the road is the shore of Mirror Lake. Uncle Wei and the others are there. After I deal with the cultists, we can have a proper chat."

Xu Yunxiu didn't rush to chase Lin Bao, but instead prepared to make arrangements for Qin He first.

She had many questions and didn't know why Qin He was here, but now was not the time to investigate further; she needed to deal with Lin Bao first.

"Leave it to me, I'm really angry right now."

Just then, a familiar voice came.

Lu Tiankuo held a blood-dripping head in his hand, his face quite gloomy.

He hadn't expected that Lin Bao had martial artists under his command who cultivated perception-based imagery, and that they even used imagery power to confuse his five senses.

Although Lu Tiankuo reacted quickly and immediately snapped the head off the martial artist with his senses, it took him longer to find him because he had lost all traces of him.

Fortunately, Qin He was protected by the Spirit Vortex Armor, which saved him from being harmed; otherwise, his old face would have been slapped hard.

"Principal Lu, you've finally arrived!"

Qin He was overjoyed. Although there were some twists and turns, with the help of two powerful figures, Xu Yunxiu and Lu Tiankuo, his sense of security was greatly enhanced.

"I'm sorry, Qin He, it was my carelessness. I didn't expect to find a perception-type martial artist in Mirror Lake City." Lu Tiankuo looked guilty and raised his hand to infuse his imagery power into the Spirit Vortex Armor.

The once-dull Spirit Vortex Armor regained its luster, transforming into emerald green armor plates that returned to the inner layer of Qin He's clothes, continuing to protect Qin He's safety.

After completing this task, Lu Tiankuo prepared to set off to pursue Lin Bao.

"Principal Lu, Lin Bao has a group of men in black robes with him. They are setting up an altar, seemingly preparing a blood sacrifice to summon a monstrous god!"

Qin He said quickly, "Tell Lu Tiankuo as much as you know."

Lin Bao had said he would build an altar and offer him as a sacrifice to the evil god, so that he could become the provisions for the evil god to descend upon the turbid world.

Such an obvious action makes its purpose quite clear.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tiankuo and Xu Yunxiu's expressions instantly turned serious.

Xu Yunxiu quickly said, "Qin He, go to the shore of Mirror Lake immediately and tell him to stop researching jade and ask him to come over!"

She had originally thought that with Lu Tiankuo taking action, she might not need to intervene.

Compared to the cultists, she was more concerned about the situation in Weitongzhou, after all, this was an opportunity she had been pestering for a long time to obtain.

But no one expected Lin Bao to be so crazy as to try to summon the Ghost God.

Building an altar to summon a demon god and having cultists stir up trouble are two completely different concepts, with worlds apart in terms of destructive power.

If things go wrong, the entire Jinghu City might face annihilation.

Under these circumstances, Xu Yunxiu had no choice but to put aside Mirror Lake and prioritize dealing with the matter of the heretics.

After speaking, Xu Yunxiu and Lu Tiankuo quickly chased after Lin Bao in the direction he had fled, not even bothering to explain anything else.

Qin He didn't dare to delay and rushed to the shore of Mirror Lake without stopping.

"Senior Wei, the cultists of 'The Collapse of Reason' intend to summon the Demon God. Teacher Xu said to stop researching jade and please go help them as soon as possible!"

As they approached the shore of Mirror Lake, Qin He saw Wei Tongzhou's back in the distance. Ignoring the staff's attempts to stop him, Qin He shouted loudly to Wei Tongzhou.

"The collapse of reason has summoned a strange god. How could such a thing happen? You take the survey equipment and leave Mirror Lake with Qin He. This old man will go and take a look."

Wei Tongzhou was astonished, completely bewildered by Qin He's sudden appearance and his shouting of the words of the sorcerers.

However, apart from the core staff, only Xu Yunxiu knew about the jade matter, which clearly indicates that she deliberately told Qin He what she said, so it must be true.

Therefore, although Wei Tongzhou had doubts, he quickly instructed his staff and then rushed over in the direction Qin He pointed.

Seeing Wei Tongzhou make his move, Qin He sat down on the muddy ground without any regard for his image, panting heavily.

The life-or-death struggle just now, and the non-stop rush here, had already exhausted him, but he was forcing himself to stay awake and dared not rest.

With all three big shots—Lu Tiankuo, Xu Yunxiu, and Wei Tongzhou—on the move, he can finally catch his breath.

After catching his breath, Qin He got up again as staff members came to urge him to leave.

Before setting off, Wei Tongzhou instructed them to evacuate from the shores of Mirror Lake. After all, the cultists acted erratically and their actions were unpredictable, so it was safer to evacuate for the time being.

Qin He naturally did not object; in fact, he quite agreed with this approach.

With his small arms and legs, the fact that he was able to survive was not only due to the protection of the Spirit Vortex Armor, but also largely due to luck.

If Xu Yunxiu had shown up even a little later, he would probably be finished.

The upcoming high-level matches were clearly beyond his control; the best course of action was to stay put and not cause trouble for Xu Yunxiu and the others.

In this respect, Qin He is quite self-aware.

With this thought in mind, Qin He followed the vehicle from Wanxianglou and obediently left the suburbs of Jinghu.

Even more, Qin He pointed out the location of the abandoned building so that the driver could avoid that area.

A few moments later, the vehicle successfully left the suburbs of Jinghu.

Just as they were about to enter the city, a deafening roar came from the direction of Mirror Lake.

The strong tremor spread outwards, almost overturning the vehicle, but fortunately the driver was skilled and brought it to a steady stop.

When Qin He looked up, he saw a scene he would never forget.

The sky above Mirror Lake turned blood red, and a crack seemed to appear in the sky, from which viscous blood gushed out and dripped onto the ground.

Incomprehensible whispers spread from Mirror Lake, carrying a seductive quality.

Seeing this scene, Qin He desperately covered his ears, hoping to block out these eerie whispers, and even considered puncturing his eardrums to cut off the sound transmission.

Because he knew very well that this was precisely the eerie effect of the overflowing power of the imagery of "the collapse of reason".

Once infected, not only will their personality change drastically and they fall into madness, but they may also become mentally impaired zombies or fanatical believers in a cult.

This is something Qin He cannot accept!

The other passengers in the car did the same, desperately covering their ears, because Qin He had informed them in advance before the vehicle departed, telling them to prepare for protection.

However, the effects of taboo imagery are not so easy to resist; even if they desperately cover their ears, it is difficult to completely stop the intrusion of eerie whispers.

Just when Qin He was about to give up, a change finally occurred.
