107: Chapter 107 Area Lockdown

Lu Siye moved his mind and checked his System panel.

Host: Lu Siye

Energy Points: 1761

Realm: Night Wanderer Second Realm (Ignited Human Soul and Earth Soul Yang Fire)

Cultivation Techniques: Five Tigers Soul-Severing Saber Technique Major Achievement; Body Forging Art; Bei Ming Divine Art Major Achievement; Lingbo Microsteps Perfection; Diamond Indestructible Divine Skill Proficient; Nine Yang Divine Art Level 6; Dragon Capturing Skill Perfection; Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms Major Achievement; Tendon-Changing Classic Perfection; Marrow Cleansing Classic Level 3

Special Items: evil-exorcising fruit knife; blood spirit pill * 6; blood replenishing pill * 50

First, his Yang Qi and Qi/Blood were at least 30% stronger than before the Breakthrough, and his Physical Body strength had also increased by nearly 30%.

Besides that, his Lingbo Microsteps seemed to have reached the Realm of Perfection during his Epiphany. Intuition told him he could now perform long-distance gliding in mid-air.

Rounding it up, this was no different from flying; in ancient times, this would at least be the level of a terrestrial immortal.

The Five Tiger Soul-Severing Blade, which had previously reached the Major Achievement Realm, had also taken a half-step into the Perfection Realm of not severing the Physical Body, but only severing the seven souls during the Epiphany.

However, Lu Siye had not yet strengthened the cultivation method for the Perfection Realm of the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Blade, so the System still displayed it as Major Achievement.

He estimated that once he had the cultivation method, he could naturally step into the Perfection Realm.

As for the Dragon Capturing Skill.

Lu Siye moved his mind, extended his palm toward the outside of the balcony, and the Internal Energy in his Dantian permeated through his body.

Outside the balcony, it was as if an invisible vortex had appeared out of thin air; the falling rain was completely sucked in and converged into a sphere of water.

Then, the water sphere floated into the room, transformed into a humanoid shape, and began practicing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in the air.

"Not bad!" Lu Siye nodded to himself.

His control over Internal Energy regarding the Dragon Capturing Skill had also improved significantly; both the range and precision of his control had increased substantially.

He estimated that with the current vigor of the True Qi in his Dantian, he could control the actions of evil Ghosts from a distance.

Even for vengeful Ghosts, they could not ignore the interference of his Dragon Capturing Skill.

This closed-door cultivation was a huge improvement for Lu Siye, but the consumption was also great; his ninety-thousand-plus Energy Points were reduced to just over one thousand.

In the final stage of preparation for the Breakthrough, he had to take seven or eight blood spirit pills every day, and strengthening the blood replenishing pills also cost him several thousand Energy Points.

Spending Energy Points is really like flowing water; he has to go earn money... no, earn Energy Points again.

"Speaking of which, how long have I been in closed-door cultivation?" Lu Siye muttered.

Except for necessary eating, drinking, and bathroom breaks, he had spent all his time cultivating, so he was a bit insensitive to the passage of time.

Lu Siye picked up his phone to check the date, only to find that it had shut down due to a lack of battery.

"Great, I forgot to plug in my phone before the closed-door cultivation."

Lu Siye patted his head, fished his charging cable out from under the table, and then plugged in his phone.

After turning it on, a large number of messages immediately popped up in the message notification box.

Lu Siye did not check those messages immediately, but first glanced at the date.

September 1st!

Good heavens, he started his closed-door cultivation on August 2nd; he had really spent a whole month in closed-door cultivation.

After figuring out what day it was, Lu Siye looked at his messages.

Some were thank-you messages from the neighbor and wealth-bringing boy Shi Yimin, and some were transfer records thanking him for saving his life, but they had all expired.

Some were messages from his roommate Liu Wenxuan, saying that Li Sisi had successfully recovered thanks to the Spiritual Energy Revival.

However, her strength had not fully recovered, and she was currently only in the ranks of top-tier evil Ghosts.

Currently, both of them had joined the Evil Suppression Bureau; Li Sisi had become a legitimate Ghost cultivator of Kyushu, and Liu Wenxuan's current strength was also at the first Realm of the Night Patrol Envoy.

However, they were not in Tianhai City now, but had been sent to a nearby county-level city.

After reading the messages, Lu Siye also replied to Liu Wenxuan, congratulating him on Li Sisi's situation.

The rest were some private messages or information that was not very useful.

Just as Lu Siye finished replying to all the messages and was about to put down his phone, a hot news push came out.

This was news about chasing a fugitive, and the length of the news was not long.

The general content was that six vicious murders had occurred in a small county next to Tianhai City. All the victims basically knew each other. The Public Security Bureau suspected that someone was deliberately seeking revenge, so after the investigation, they locked onto the identity of the criminal suspect.

But during the arrest, they accidentally let the person run away, and he was suspected of coming to Tianhai City, so the local Public Security Bureau and the Tianhai City Public Security Bureau joined forces and decisively blocked parts of the two cities.

Finally, they specifically explained the danger of the criminal suspect, asking citizens to stay away from the blockade, hoping for citizens' understanding, and so on.

This news made Lu Siye instinctively feel that something was wrong.

As far as he knew, after the Spiritual Energy Revival, to protect the safety of Public Security Officers, all police tasks of the Public Security Bureau would be accompanied by Night Patrol Envoys from the Evil Suppression Bureau.

With Night Patrol Envoys who could even deal with evil Ghosts following, there was no reason for them to let an ordinary person get away.

Unless that criminal suspect was not an ordinary person!

Is it a dark cultivator from The Net? Or a Ghost?

Scrolling down to the comment section below the news, Lu Siye thought most of the comments would be condemning the criminal suspect, but the reality was the exact opposite of what he thought.

Most netizens were asking the Public Security Bureau to be lenient with the murderer, which left Lu Siye looking bewildered.

"I only went into closed-door cultivation for a month; has the thinking of this world changed so much that even murderers are worth sympathizing with?"

With a doubtful attitude, Lu Siye read a few more comments, and finally, one comment caught his attention.

"Cat-abusing scumbags deserve to die": I am a local from the county mentioned in the news. It has been confirmed after the fact that those murdered people were all people who abused cats. Those people having such an ending is just retribution.

"Ximen Da Guan Ren" replied to "Cat-abusing scumbags deserve to die": My grandfather is a local. My grandfather had seen the third victim. When he was cooling off in the park before, he saw that man catching cats. At that time, that person even said he was catching them to raise at home, but I couldn't imagine he was actually a cat-abusing scumbag.

"My family has a gas canister" replied to "Cat-abusing scumbags deserve to die": I can prove that what the original poster said is true. The first one to die was even an internet celebrity called "XX Spicy Strips". You can find his cat-abuse videos just by searching online.

"Tourist 3527" replied to "My family has a gas canister": I know about this too. How can such scum even be worthy of being an internet celebrity? Xu Zhihui really deserved to die!
