390: Chapter 390 Another Upgrade, Anomalies Appear

Lu Zheng waited until nightfall, but did not wait for any movement.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but be very curious about what Deer King was up to. However, Lu Zheng had guessed a little; it seemed that nothing happened because Deer King had covered for him.

He hadn't told Tiger King the truth; otherwise, given Tiger King's temperament, he would have already taken action and wouldn't have waited until now.

But precisely because of this, Lu Zheng was curious: what exactly did Deer King want to do?

Why did he want to hide all this for him?

However, Lu Zheng immediately stopped overthinking it. Regardless of what Tiger King or Deer King wanted to do, as long as his own strength continued to grow, any schemes or tricks would be shattered.

He immediately looked at the attribute panel.

[Clone]: Black Jade Snake

[Rank]: 18

[Talent]: Coil (Tier 2), Digestion Enhancement (Tier 2), Perception (Tier 2), Elite Sharp Fangs (Tier 2), Elite Hardening (Tier 2), Elite Rapid Recovery (Tier 2)

[Ability]: Command (Tier 2)

[combat power]: 2800

[energy points]: 400 Million / 64 Million

[Divinity Points]: 7500

With 400 million energy points, he was finally ready to start upgrading.

However, before upgrading, Lu Zheng wasn't idle. He directly used his ability to Command the surrounding snake-type Evolved Beasts.

At this moment, snake-type Evolved Beasts were spread around the Clone, though there were no Tier 3 ones, only Tier 2 and Tier 1. Still, that was enough.

Without Lu Zheng's Command, these snake-type Evolved Beasts wouldn't do anything strange. He dispersed them, telling them to report back immediately if there was any movement.

Lu Zheng then transmitted his voice to Liu Quan, telling him that he was going to go into seclusion for a few days. He told him to look after these two thousand people for these few days and not to go outside a twenty-mile radius, otherwise, it would mean death.

He also handed a Tier 2 snake-type Evolved Beast to Liu Quan to Command, telling him to kill anyone who didn't listen.

Lu Zheng knew that two thousand people was not a small number and that managing them wasn't easy, but he just needed to ensure nothing happened in these few days.

Since Deer King was covering for him, if he was ignorant and let the humans go out, wouldn't that be wasting this opportunity in vain?

After giving these instructions, Lu Zheng returned his focus to his main body.

At this moment, three days had passed since the Second Spiritual Energy Revival, and there were four days left. The Spiritual Qi tide would end, and those Starry Sky Alien Races would appear.

Therefore, Lu Zheng needed to significantly increase his strength once again within these four days.

It was deep into the night. Lu Zheng had previously announced that he was going into seclusion, so no one disturbed him. There was no anomaly in the surroundings, just like two days ago.

It seemed that the previous hidden danger of the Holy Spirit Sect in Baiyun City hadn't caused any issues.

Lu Zheng relaxed and looked at the attribute panel. Over these two days, his main body's combat power had also increased.

[main body]: Lu Zheng

[Superpower]: Awakening

[Skill]: Digestion Enhancement, Perception, Sharpness, Hardening, Command, Rapid Recovery.

[Martial Dao]: Sky-Opening Fist (Entry Level 5%), Baji Fist 4th Realm (Entry Level 50%)

[combat power]: 4140

[Mental]: 270

[Divinity Points]: 7500

[Status]: Pseudo-Wu Clan (It seems that some powerful existence, in order to protect the host's safety, specially left a bewitching force on the host. Below the 7th Rank, no one can see through it.)

In these two days, Lu Zheng's combat power had broken through from 3,600 to 4,140, an increase of over 400 points.

Two days in reality meant twenty days in the time tower.

In twenty days, Lu Zheng had increased his proficiency in the Baji Fist 4th Realm to 50% of the Entry Level. It was truly a 4th Realm Cultivation Technique; even Lu Zheng felt the difficulty in practicing it.

As for the Sky-Opening Fist, Lu Zheng hadn't practiced it. After all, a person's energy was limited, and Lu Zheng still had to divide half of his focus on the Clone. If he put his energy into the Sky-Opening Fist, perhaps the progress wouldn't be very significant.

This increase of over 400 in combat power wasn't entirely due to the growth in the 4th Realm fist technique; it was also due to the effect of the xuanhuang jade pendant.

Currently, the speed at which his body absorbed xuanhuang energy had slowed down a lot.

It was estimated that it would take a whole day to absorb one strand of xuanhuang energy, which was 100 combat power.

Moreover, this speed would get slower and slower as time went on.

Lu Zheng couldn't do anything about it. There was still quite a bit of xuanhuang energy in the xuanhuang jade pendant, but he could only watch helplessly. If he wanted to increase the speed again, he had to wait until after the upgrade to rely on the System to improve his Physique by a portion.

"System, initiate upgrade!"

As Lu Zheng spoke softly, the System's voice immediately sounded.

[Upgrade started. This upgrade requires 64 million energy points and is expected to take four days.]

[Do you wish to start the upgrade?]

"Confirm!"

As Lu Zheng confirmed, 64 million energy points instantly vanished, and that familiar energy once again descended upon his main body and Clone.

At the same time, Lu Zheng and his Clone slowly closed their eyes simultaneously, bathing in the System's energy.

Just as Lu Zheng was immersed in the upgrade, in Baiyun City, in that strictly guarded place, a trace of unusual fluctuation suddenly came from it.

This place was exactly where the previous Holy Spirit Sect Town General had obtained the Evil God's power.

Similarly, this place had already been sealed off by Lu Zheng.

However, this sudden anomaly did not attract any attention; no one knew about it.

Meanwhile, in another part of Baiyun City, a certain space suddenly produced a trace of unusual fluctuation, looking just like a whirlpool.

It was just that this scene appeared for only a split second before disappearing in the next second.

A drunkard not far away rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking he had seen it wrong. He walked forward and reached out to touch it, but found nothing unusual, muttering to himself.

"I must have seen it wrong. I didn't even drink that much today."

"I remember the Government issued an announcement saying that if you find anything strange, you can report it and get a reward."

"This..."

The drunkard hesitated for a while, then put the matter out of his mind. He didn't have any proof; he had just seen it wrong.

He staggered away into the distance.

But before the drunkard had gone far, that space flashed with a trace of fluctuation again, and a whirlpool appeared. If the drunkard had turned his head at that moment, he would definitely have been able to see it.

But unfortunately, he didn't.

Until the anomaly in this space disappeared again, no one saw it.

Baiyun City was quiet.

The Spiritual Qi tide had four days left until it ended. Everyone was seizing the final time, wanting to Breakthrough and wanting to Awaken.
