Chapter 281: Yuga Ling Lu's Benevolence, Supersonic Sch Jing, and the Hero's Arrival (4K)



Skyreach Center, Level 732.

Yuga Ling Lu, dressed in a black haori, had waist-length silky hair tied in a high ponytail. With an androgynous, delicate face that exuded gentle warmth, every movement was graceful and exuded an impeccable elegance.

Beside him was an Eastern youth named Wakami Taiping, who was half a step behind, bowing his head as he spoke softly in Eastern language:

"Young Master, the Tokyo headquarters has been urging you to return quickly... Is it really okay for us to be leisurely shopping here?"

Yuga Ling Lu glanced at him and smiled lightly, "As long as you don't report me, there won't be any issues."

Wakami Taiping quickly lowered his head further, "How dare I!"

"It's just that Miss Chisui has been complaining to the headquarters about your avoidance and your public visit to Zhuxia has upset the East Light Society. This time, when we go back, there might be more trouble..."

Yuga Ling Lu nonchalantly replied, "What do I care about the thoughts of the East Light Society? Miss Chisui is just upset that I didn't bring her along to play."

Wakami Taiping sighed, "It's still not good."

Yuga Ling Lu smiled and shook his head, "Taiping, do you know that I'm the third child in my family?"

Wakami Taiping was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Yuga Ling Lu stopped in front of a weapons shop and said softly, "Many things don't fall to the third child to handle... Even if I could, it's best not to, or the two above me would be displeased."

"The East Light Society receives annual sponsorship fees, and my eldest brother accounts for a third of it. This is the faction he values the most, and he won't tolerate anyone, especially family, meddling with it."

"Miss Chisui holds a special position in the Shinnet family. The Pale Great Deity, the second son of the snake, has exceptionally favored five people in this generation—Chidai, Chika, Chisha, and Chishu have already become Pale Priestesses, and Miss Chisui is most likely to become the next head of the Shinnet family."

"My mother is overly ambitious and always wants me to marry her to gain the Shinnet's power and rise to the top, unaware that this is a dangerous move."

Yuga Ling Lu turned his back to Wakami Taiping.

"A triangle is the most stable shape. When one corner stands out, it will be pulled back by the other two... It's completely different from a one-on-one life-or-death battle."

His voice was soft and gentle.

"My mother is a woman."

"Women have limitations. While they might not lose to men in pure intelligence, their innate sensitivity can overwhelm their rationality, leading them to overlook many things. This is a physiological limitation, an objective fact at the genetic level, unchangeable."

"Having a woman with uncontrollable desires in a high position is truly a disaster."

Yuga Ling Lu spoke casually, while Wakami Taiping pretended not to hear, trembling with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Being a man is still better... This is what I've always thought and done."

Yuga Ling Lu's beautiful face revealed a gentle smile as he thought of something.

"However, recently I've discovered that women have advantages in other areas... Places that men can never reach."

"If it's to reach that place, becoming a woman again... isn't impossible."

His voice was barely audible, and some parts were completely unpronounced, leaving Wakami Taiping puzzled and confused.

Changing the subject, Yuga Ling Lu said, "Speaking of the Heavenly Rock Cave in Zhuxia, it's quite accessible."

The Easterners referred to the Solar Pillar in the Skyreach Center as the Heavenly Rock Cave.

This name was derived from a story in their mythology where the sun goddess Amaterasu hid in a cave called 'Heavenly Rock Cave,' plunging the world into darkness.

Similarly, during the Eternal Night War, the world fell into an eternal night, and only the sun within the 'Heavenly Rock Cave' remained.

"Even shopping centers are allowed here... Our side is a bit rigid, claiming that only the Imperial Family, descendants of Amaterasu, can reside within. What a waste."

"The sun shines equally on everyone, a truly grand and noble entity..."

Yuga Ling Lu whispered softly.

Suddenly, a vibration emanated from above, and the floor beneath them began to shake. The many people on Level 732 of the Skyreach Center lost their balance and fell to the ground, crying out in surprise.

Yuga Ling Lu and Wakami Taiping, as martial artists, maintained their balance despite the disturbance, but this sudden commotion startled them.

"An earthquake...? No, the source is from above, could it be a Boundary Quake?"

Yuga Ling Lu wondered aloud.

"Young Master, I'll protect you and get you out of here!"

Wakami Taiping exclaimed.

A corner of the ceiling began to crumble under the tremors, and a large piece of debris, over two meters wide, fell from above, heading straight for a mother and daughter who had tripped and were struggling to get up.

Yuga Ling Lu's figure flashed, disappearing from his original spot and reappearing in front of the falling debris. His palm gently brushed the surface, and the rubble turned to dust, scattering harmlessly.

"We're needed here, Taiping."

Yuga Ling Lu said softly.

Wakami Taiping was taken aback and sighed, "Yes..."

...

"Have all the experiment subjects been destroyed?!"

"There were a total of sixty-four subjects. Sixty-one of them have successfully received the injection of Heavenly Jellyfish Venom. The other three, including number 29, have disappeared from their cultivation chambers at an unknown time and cannot be found."

"Damn it!!!"

Xu Mu De roared, his voice hoarse with rage.

"Arrange a plane immediately! I want to leave this place!"

"Huh?" His subordinate was taken aback.

"Hurry up and prepare it, or do you want to die?!"

Xu Mu De slapped his subordinate, sending him spinning in place three times.

"I've done all I can... There's nothing more I can do now. Everyone who can run, run! Leave this mess for the government to handle; they'll find a way!"

"Xu Corporation Biology pays so much in taxes every year; it's time for them to repay us!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

Inside the Dragon Core Fighter, Scheng Jing gazed out the porthole at the distant, trembling Skyreach Center.

Countless pieces of rubble were falling from the walls, but for some reason, the entire Skyreach Center remained incredibly stable, showing no signs of collapsing.

"As expected, something happened... I'm a little late."

Scheng Jing sighed softly.

After hearing Xu Wen Kui mention the danger of the Divine Man and its potential for sudden rampage, Scheng Jing had immediately ordered the Dragon Core Fighter to rush over at full speed, intending to eliminate this high-risk threat in advance.

But he was still a little late.

His eyesight far exceeded human limits, and even from a great distance, he could see many details.

Countless people were running in panic, and flight vehicles hovering around each level were pushing into the crowd. Some overloaded vehicles started emitting black smoke and electrical arcs, slowly falling to the ground.

Stampede incidents occurred frequently, and the falling steel and rubble crushed the fragile bodies of ordinary people, leading to increasing casualties.

Scheng Jing's fist tightened slightly, and his expression became a little dazed.

He was well aware that the primary responsibility for this incident undoubtedly lay with Xu Mu De. Xu Mu De had violated regulations by secretly conducting high-risk experiments in such a place, and even when safety measures failed, he did not immediately stop the experiments, hoping for a lucky outcome, which led to the current disaster.

However, upon seeing ordinary people being harmed as a result of Xu Mu De's theft of the Primordial Wind, Scheng Jing couldn't help but question himself, wondering if he had made a mistake this time.

The responsibility did not lie with him, as it was impossible to foresee such consequences during the operation. These excuses were difficult to convince himself.

"Sch Jing, are you okay?"

Fengwan Ning, standing beside him, worriedly embraced his arm.

This was the first time she had seen such a conflicted expression on Scheng Jing's face.

Scheng Jing's expression quickly returned to normal, and he turned to look at Fengwan Ning, smiling gently as he said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

He continued to gaze at the Skyreach Center, and suddenly, his expression changed.

He spotted a familiar figure.

The exquisite black haori was torn and covered in dirt, and his usually graceful posture now appeared slightly hurried as he moved swiftly between the floors of the Skyreach Center.

Whether it was blocking falling debris or carrying injured and immobile personnel, Shinelu Clan Leader's actions were swift and well-organized, preventing any harm from reaching those in front of him.

Yuga Ling Lu?

Scheng Jing was slightly taken aback, never expecting to see him at a time like this.

Moreover, he was surprised that this silver spoon-fed heir of a financial conglomerate, in such an obviously dangerous situation, had not left but was personally and wholeheartedly rescuing ordinary citizens.

"Ling Lu..."

In that moment, Scheng Jing's eyes flickered with complexity.

Inevitably, he was impressed by this somewhat admirable person.

It wasn't because Yuga Ling Lu, despite his high status, was helping others that Scheng Jing thought highly of his character.

But because... he was doing what Scheng Jing desperately wanted to do at that moment.

Scheng Jing was not one to indulge in self-doubt, but since the mistake had been made, he wanted to make amends as best he could.

At this moment, Yuga Ling Lu helped him make up for a considerable part.

Fengwan Ning noticed that Sch Jing's expression seemed to have improved significantly, and she breathed a sigh of relief, hugging his arm tighter and squeezing herself into his embrace.

"Hmm?"

Sch Jing's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

Over on Yuga Ling Lu's side, there was an unexpected turn of events.

A man with a perfect physique, as if divinely sculpted, naked, with golden irises and a resemblance to Xu Mu De, emerged from a corner and slowly approached Yuga Ling Lu.

His face was devoid of expression, not out of indifference, but more like a newborn child, exuding a sense of innocent bewilderment.

"Divine Man..." Sch Jing's eyebrows knitted together.

Yuga Ling Lu seemed to notice this unusual presence as well, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She put the child she was holding in her arms down on the ground and whispered something to him, allowing the crying child to run off on his own.

Sch Jing crossed his arms, his index finger tapping his elbow, and spoke to Ning Yuan Tai beside him:

"Can this plane go any faster?"

Ning Yuan Tai helplessly replied, "This is already the limit, Brother Xue. It's at maximum speed."

"I see," Sch Jing thought for a moment and said, "Open the cabin door, Yuan Tai."

Ning Yuan Tai was taken aback. "Brother Xue, are you going down now? We're still a hundred kilometers away."

"This distance... is about right," Sch Jing said.

The Dragon Core Fighter's top speed was around a thousand kilometers per hour, faster than his own Transcendence flight speed.

But that was under normal circumstances.

For short-distance burst flights, he still had many tricks to accelerate.

Ning Yuan Tai quickly followed Sch Jing's instructions, slowing down the plane and opening the cabin door.

Without any delay, Sch Jing jumped out of the plane and used Transcendence to hover in the air.

With a thought, black airflow condensed, forming Shadow Flame Cloak, enveloping him.

Then, with a whoosh, he rapidly flew towards the Skyreach Center.

At this moment, his speed was approximately 120 to 130 meters per second.

Immediately after, he controlled the Shadow Flame Cloak on his body, causing it to transform.

In front of his head, it became a small black cone with a low air resistance coefficient and various aerodynamically designed indentations.

His speed suddenly increased.

But it was still not enough.

Sch Jing took a deep breath and, after a long time, executed one of the five deadly moves of Dragon Concealment Art, Golden Scale Turn.

Then, he spun wildly like a bullet fired from a gun.

From a distance, he looked like a horizontal black tornado, rapidly sweeping towards the distant location.

By now, his speed had reached nearly the speed of sound, emitting a powerful sonic boom.

A leisurely flying bird was swept aside by him, instantly flung a hundred meters away, spinning uncontrollably and becoming dizzy. It almost crashed to the ground but regained its balance just in time, flapping its wings to fly again. It squawked indignantly at the now-distant Sch Jing.

Realizing that he had almost reached the limit of his current speed, Sch Jing immediately acted.

Twin Speed!

Brutally disregarding all physical laws, he doubled his speed without any regard for logic!

"Whoosh—!"

Sch Jing transformed into a black meteor, tearing through the sky at over 600 meters per second, or over 2,000 kilometers per hour!

Ning Yuan Tai, left behind by Sch Jing's rapid acceleration, was stunned.

"It'll take about three and a half minutes..."

Sch Jing calculated and estimated his arrival time at the Skyreach Center.

Currently, Twin Speed was at Level 8, and the blue bar had increased significantly compared to Level 5.

At Level 5, he could only use Twin Speed for about a minute.

At Level 8, he could maintain it for two minutes and forty seconds.

With this, the blue bar would be depleted before he reached his destination.

But he had another trick up his sleeve.

Upgrading Twin Speed from Level 8 required 4,500 Divinity, and he had 5,000 Divinity.

After upgrading a Divinity skill, there was a game-like mechanism where the blue bar would refill completely.

This would be more than enough.

Not only could he maintain the speed until he reached the Skyreach Center, but he would also have plenty of blue bar left to deal with the Divine Man.

Sch Jing's eyes remained calm as he gazed at the approaching Skyreach Center, thinking, "Hold on a little longer, don't die on me, Shinelu..."

...
