Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Indeed, nearly half of them possessed the qualifications to become gene warriors and did so.

Then they quickly combined their genetic energy with their martial arts, and their strength increased by leaps and bounds, giving them a power they never dared to dream of before.

Using one's body to resist firearms has become a piece of cake; catching bullets with bare hands is no longer a myth; and one can easily move boulders weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.

All sorts of abilities that were unthinkable in the past have now become a reality!

This made them rapidly swell with power. If it weren't for Miyazaki Yu, who was suppressing everyone, these guys would have already carved out their own territories long ago.

Even so, they all quickly became arrogant, believing that although they could not compare to Miyazaki Yu, they could still reach the second tier.

They never imagined that after the emergence of the virtual Lingxiao Palace, which allowed all martial artists to freely fight and communicate within it, they would realize just how ridiculous their ideas were.

They first fought against some veteran powerhouses, gaining an understanding of their general strength and establishing a ranking. They also used the testing equipment in the virtual Lingxiao Palace to measure their own data.

They were all somewhat devastated after seeing the data rankings.

He was indeed able to calculate data that matched his psychological threshold, which he was so proud of. But what was with the data of those eighteen people? How could they be that powerful?

Immediately, some people questioned their capabilities, believing it to be impossible.

The result was that they were immediately proven wrong; any world-class figure could easily defeat them.

However, some nitpickers were still not convinced and believed that Miyazaki Yu had tampered with the virtual Lingxiao Palace. So, in reality, they went to find one of the characters to fight, and were killed on the spot!

This finally brought these hot-headed guys to their senses.

Little did I expect that this was only the beginning of the blows; the truly devastating things were just starting!

The martial artists trained in Lingxiao Palace also participated in the rankings and quickly began vying for the top spot.

There are only about 500 Spirit Martial level martial artists in the whole world, and half of them are under the command of Lingxiao Palace. What's more, those who rank higher among the Spirit Martial level are all people around that Miyazaki Sword Saint.

Miyazaki's woman, the housekeeper who always served him, the housekeeper's daughter, and the Mouri couple who were once ignorant of martial arts, all achieved extremely high rankings in the Spirit Martial level!

Especially Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, who are just two young girls, their life experiences have already been thoroughly studied by various forces when they were researching Miyazaki Yu.

Ran Mouri originally only knew some karate, but now she has reached this level!

His twelve men had already been identified and studied.

In other words, if that Miyazaki swordsman wanted to, anyone could become a top expert, something they once considered an advantage.

For example, my past understanding of martial arts, the skills I had practiced for many years, my special abilities, or some secret techniques have all become a joke!

This was such a blow to those people that it was as if a knife had been viciously plunged into their hearts.

"The data is out, and this is Hattori's limit!"

All eyes turned to the display screen.

"His strength reached 63000 kilograms and his speed reached 323 meters per second, exceeding the lower limit of 60000 kilograms and 300 meters per second. In other words, Hattori succeeded!"

Shinichi Kudo's eyes lit up. Although this data was not as good as his, it was very close. Seeing his good brother's great progress, he was genuinely happy for him.

"Congratulations, Hattori Heiji! From today onwards, you are the Inspector of Lingxiao Palace. I hope you will continue to do your best!"

The senior butler from the Osaka branch hurriedly stepped forward to offer some compliments, then handed the other party a name tag and a virtual helmet representing their identity, and gave them a substantial monetary reward on the spot.

"With this exclusive virtual helmet, one can enter the virtual Lingxiao Palace, where they can spar with masters from all walks of life to improve their strength. They can also conduct transactions with martial artists from all over the world, and the value of these transactions can even exceed that of national trade."

After offering a few brief suggestions, he quickly left, handing the space over to the others and making arrangements for all the reception matters.

The position of a senior steward is equivalent to that of a senior inspector. Hattori Heiji, who has just become an inspector, is one rank lower than him.

But since their connections are so strong, I still have to be careful.

The group went to the best private room, where staff had already prepared everything, including a variety of delicious snacks and drinks. After everyone ordered their dishes, the hot dishes were quickly served.

So naturally, everyone started catching up. They talked about many things and were all quite nostalgic.

"If someone had told me a few years ago that in a few years, the world would no longer need detectives, but instead need countless martial artists, I would have thought that guy was dreaming. But who could have imagined that in just a few years, the world would become what it is today?"

"Kudo and I, Hattori from Kansai and Kudo from Kanto, were renowned detectives, but now we're both learning to fight mutated creatures. How ironic."

Xiaolan nodded in agreement: "That's true, but there's nothing we can do about it. The world has changed, and people have to adapt. Even though it's a world of martial arts now, we still need detectives."

These words warmed their hearts. The pride of being famous detectives was their greatest pride, something that passionate young people couldn't easily give up.

Everyone continued chatting, and the atmosphere became even more lively. The topic of conversation gradually shifted to an important person.

Hattori Heiji finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question that had been on his mind.

Chapter 822 Physical Elementalization and Clone

"Miss Ran, Miss Sonoko, it's been a long time since we've heard from Lord Miyazaki. We wonder how he is doing now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shinichi Kudo and Kazuha Toyama both perked up their ears.

Miyazaki Hayao is the guardian of all mankind and the anchor of the entire Earth.

His every move can affect the sensitive nerves of all mankind, making it impossible for everyone not to be nervous.

Moreover, he is now too mysterious, having not appeared in front of the public for a long time, and many people are speculating about his current situation.

Or rather, people are genuinely curious about just how far he has progressed.

Ran and Sonoko exchanged a smile; they wouldn't tell anyone else if asked.

However, Heiji Hattori was an old friend, so there was no need to hide it from him.

"Xiao Yu has always been fine. Apart from still being obsessed with cultivation, there's nothing particularly special about him."

However, when Xiaolan said these words, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, as if she had thought of something embarrassing.

It wasn't that Xiaolan was too shy, but that guy was too absurd. He actually knew about some positions that he had never even heard of before, and he actually used his intelligence in these kinds of things.

What's most infuriating is that this guy has become even more powerful now. He somehow managed to split himself into several parts, turning into several real people.

In this way, he can devote himself to cultivation at the same time, and also enjoy life and the company of beautiful women.

At that very moment, on a vast plain on the moon, Miyazaki Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Achoo! Who's talking about me?"

He slowly opened his eyes, but what he saw was not empty; on the contrary, there were eight figures, just like him, cultivating.

What's most shocking is that these eight figures are exactly the same as him, because these eight figures are all his clones!

This is one of his biggest gains over the past two years: to understand the mysteries of genes and the soul, to be able to transform himself into a state of pure energy, and then to split his spirit, soul, and body into nine parts!

This is the limit of what he can do right now.

With the help of the artificial intelligence Lingxiao, his ability to deduce techniques and his own abilities has increased by tens of thousands of times, and his ability to gather information has also been enhanced to an epic degree.

The efficiency of this deduction is like that of a Golden Immortal in a prehistoric fantasy novel, directly reaching the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and it can also collect the ideas of various geniuses on Earth for its own use.

It's like increasing one's own efficiency countless times, and then repeatedly verifying it by gathering the wisdom of all beings. This kind of efficiency is truly terrifying.

That's why he was able to reach this level in just two years!

He can now transform his physical body into a state of pure energy, with every single cell in his body acting like a tiny planet, containing powerful and abundant primal energy.

The energy contained in just one cell is equivalent to the total genetic energy of a Spirit Martial level martial artist!

A single slice of his flesh contains more radiation than a nuclear weapon of extremely high yield!

Therefore, the genetic energy he can sense on Earth is no longer sufficient to meet his needs. This does not mean that cultivation is impossible on Earth, but rather that the flow of energy on Earth is too weak.

He was like a giant tree reaching for the sky, with an incredibly huge body, but when it came to watering him, he just casually poured in a few buckets of water. Is that acceptable?

Of course that's outrageous. This kind of big tree needs to be swallowed whole, flooded with water, not just trickled down.

Therefore, he preferred to cultivate in outer space, where the various forms of radiation were much more concentrated than on Earth.

Of course, for martial artists other than him, this intense radiation would be fatal, and they certainly couldn't tolerate it.

While cultivating in the universe is a good way to become stronger, it also has drawbacks. He can only live in seclusion, he can no longer stay in his palace, and he can't often be with his woman.

This is a bit problematic.

He came to this world of science fiction, this world of detectives, to live a good life, to live the life of a superior person, not to suffer endless asceticism.

Everything I have now is based on my own strength, even though I am already strong enough.

However, the extent of the extraterrestrial civilization that brought that meteorite to the solar system remains unknown.

If one day, people from that civilization come to Earth and you are powerless to resist, then everything you possess will vanish in an instant.

What weighed heavily on his mind was that the other side had obviously discovered Earth's civilization, unlike in The Three-Body Problem, where a high-ranking official like Ye Wenjie was needed for the Trisolarans to know Earth's location coordinates.

In other words, the entire Earth is now practically exposed to the watchful eyes of a powerful extraterrestrial civilization!

However, once he continued his cultivation and broke through to a higher level, these troubles disappeared.

Because after his breakthrough, he actually touched the level of the soul, which is no longer just the spiritual level, but the soul, which is far more profound and mysterious than the spiritual level!

The soul is actually the spirit, a collection of energy formed when it becomes powerful enough. Only life forms that are powerful enough can condense a soul!

Even Miyazaki Yu at that time, once his condensed soul left his body, was like a small candle flame, flickering and uncertain, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

In other words, ordinary people do not have a soul at all. Their so-called soul may just be a condensed mist of spirit, extremely thin, and will be destroyed as soon as the physical body perishes!

Therefore, in this world of Detective Conan, the threshold for becoming a demon is terrifyingly high. Even Miyazaki Hayao back then, if he had really died, wouldn't have been qualified to be a demon.

So he began to use simulations to absorb energy from the universe with all his might, to nourish and strengthen his soul.

After countless simulations, he finally found a way to cultivate his soul. His soul power advanced by leaps and bounds. In a short time, it condensed from a flickering candle flame into an extremely solid stream of water. Then, it became like incredibly tough rubber, with its toughness and strength greatly improved!

After the soul power is enhanced, the computing power is enhanced again, which creates a positive feedback loop.

What pleased him even more was that after cultivating his soul to this level, he discovered that his body could be transformed into pure energy.

It's similar to the elemental transformation ability of a Devil Fruit in a certain pirate series, where the body is directly converted into energy, making it impossible for physical damage to touch him.

Moreover, he could divide his physical body into several parts, and then divide his soul into several parts as well, injecting them into several parts of his physical body, thus forming clones in an instant!

This delighted him, as it meant he could truly be in multiple places at once.

He can find a woman who can protect order on Earth and wholeheartedly accompany him. Women are like flowers; if you don't water them for a long time, they will have problems, so you must take good care of them.

So now that they have this much free time, Ran, Sonoko, Shiho Miyano, Vermouth, Akemi Miyano, Sayuri Matsumoto, and Yukiko are truly blessed.

He also took several former romantic interests under his wing, such as Yoko Okino and the magician, Akako Koizumi, with whom he had been in secret contact.

He has become a true master of time management, with everything arranged perfectly.
