Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 114 - 95, Instantaneous Light!_2

Even so, the ability was still terrifying.

The key was... he could gain absolute initiative.

In the state of Instantaneous Light, before his enemy could even react, he could have a knife at their throat.

Although it consumed a great deal, activating it just once would use up half of his Mysterious Energy, and even though it could only be maintained for a mere instant, possibly less than 0.001 seconds...

But none of that could hide its power.

Over the half-month since he’d borrowed the power in advance, he had confirmed this through numerous experiments.

"This move is not bad for sneak attacks..."

Having experienced real combat, Lin Qing grew clearer on how to use this Genetic Ability.

Absolute initiative should be used to attempt an instant kill whenever possible.

"It’s a good thing he doesn’t possess the Instinct Level Combat Skill; otherwise, I wouldn’t even need to act. Just by instantly activating his defense, my current strength probably wouldn’t be enough to break through..."

Lin Qing silently summarized the fleeting combat in his mind.

He also understood that his own strength was still lacking.

If he had already mastered the complete Free Body technique, even without using Instantaneous Light, he would have been able to kill his opponent.

"However, it’s actually him..."

Lin Qing frowned slightly, "No wonder he had an alibi."

At the moment the mask had shattered, he had clearly seen the other person’s true face.

He had originally thought the other party had found another person who had cultivated Free Body to the Instinct Level to act as a substitute, providing the alibi.

Now it appeared that it was this kind of inconceivable Genetic Ability?

"But with this kind of ability, he should have been able to clear himself thoroughly."

Lin Qing frowned, "Despite being able to avoid any suspicion, he still took actions that raised doubts..."

...

The night was vast and foggy.

Yuan Anping lazily sat on the steps at the entrance of Wanxiang City, smoking while waiting for the thirteen Patrol Officers who had just entered the mall to come out.

"They’re searching really slowly..."

With a cigarette dangling from his lips, he looked up at the starry sky obscured by the urban circle’s lights and couldn’t help feeling somewhat melancholic, "If things get escalated tonight, there should still be time..."

Suddenly―

Yuan Anping’s eyes shifted slightly, "Dead? Lian Zexu isn’t skilled in Speed; he shouldn’t be so easy to kill, right?"

He was somewhat puzzled, "At this time, my tail should have gone to play with Lin Qing, which should have bought enough time for Lian Zexu to get there. How could he suddenly be gone? After all the effort I’ve put into raising that..."

At that moment, his communicator suddenly rang, and it was none other than a call from the commander-in-chief, Lian Zexu.

"Commander-in-chief?"

"Ah? I’m fine."

"What? I’m on my way now."

...

"You were ambushed by that mysterious person?"

Yuan Anping was shocked as he looked at Lin Qing and couldn’t help asking, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Lin Qing glanced at Yuan Anping, "I just almost died."

"That’s impossible..." Yuan Anping found it hard to believe, then said, "Aren’t you quite strong?"

"What’s so impossible about that?" Lin Qing looked at him, "Patrol Chief Hu Xianan is much stronger than I am, and he was beaten until he collapsed on the ground. Isn’t it normal for me to have almost been killed?"

"... It’s good that you’re alright." Yuan Anping changed the subject, "What about the other person?"

"I barely managed to parry a few moves, and when the mysterious person realized the commander-in-chief had arrived, they simply fled." Lin Qing looked like he had narrowly escaped death, "I was almost finished."

Anyway, no one saw that it was him who did the killing, so let Yuan Anping guess however he liked.

Yuan Anping could only respond in silence.

"When I arrived, that person had indeed already escaped." Commander-in-chief Lian Zexu nodded slightly and looked at Lin Qing with a hidden meaning, sighing, "Patrol Chief Lin is truly concealed in depth."

He had personally seen the capable Patrol Chief Hu Xianan, who in the blink of an eye had been severely injured with broken limbs, and would have to lie in bed for at least half a month.

Yet this Lin Qing, who always claimed to be a newcomer, had fought with that mysterious person for several seconds, yet was completely unharmed?

The disparity was huge.

Not far away, the twenty-nine reassembled Patrol Officers also couldn’t help but look over.

Patrol Chief Hu, who had just claimed in the meeting that he could take on two opponents at once, suddenly lay on the ground like a dead dog, while Patrol Chief Lin, who had proactively admitted defeat, was still standing here just fine.

"Luck, that’s all."

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "However, I didn’t expect even Patrol Chief Hu to be taken down. I’m afraid we won’t be able to continue the search."

"Report back to headquarters," Lian Zexu said in a low voice. "The Original Research Institute’s interest in Lin’an City is clearly abnormal. The last search wasn’t thorough enough. This time... even if we turn Lin’an City upside down, if nothing turns up, the headquarters won’t give up."

Yuan Anping stood quietly by the side, slightly relaxing.

...

Patrol Chief Hu was sent to the hospital, but it was just fractured limbs, nothing serious. After being treated, given the physical condition of a Patrol Chief, he would be fine after half a month of rest.

However, it was unknown when Patrol Chief Hu’s emotional wounds would heal.

As Lin Qing was leaving the hospital room, he just happened to see Patrol Chief Hu, who had been unconscious and unresponsive, finally open his eyes a sliver and look at him with a rather complex gaze.

When he arrived home, it was already 3 a.m.

"Order."

Lin Qing sat on the sofa, calling up the Entropy panel in his mind.

[Pre-used items: Bloodline Evolution Ability—Heavenly Orb Monarch ’Instantaneous Light’ (37.2% replenished)]

[Pre-used items: Original Chaoyang Method (97.6% replenished)]

"It’s close."

Lin Qing nodded to himself.

The ’Instantaneous Light’ had been borrowed half a month ago.

However, ’Instantaneous Light,’ as the Core Genetic Ability of the Heavenly Orb Monarch Bloodline at the Third Energy Level, was one of the most difficult abilities to uncover. It required the optimization of genes 43 times to fully manifest this ability.

"In two more days, I’ll have paid off the debt for the Original Chaoyang Method."

Lin Qing slightly squinted his eyes, "Then I’ll be able to borrow the Free Body Battle Technique."

He had planned to borrow the Free Body Battle Technique first, but the original combat technique was indeed extremely difficult, with even entry level being quite a challenge.

The simplified decomposition version of the Free Body Battle Technique merely imitated the six main characteristics, breaking them into six combat techniques, so the six property simulations by Mysterious Energy were also different from one another.

The true Free Body Battle Technique considered the countless Power Points and Energy Nodes in the human body as countless stars in the universe, regarded the Mysterious Energy as the interaction between these stars to drive the flesh towards a state of boundless freedom.

After all, the true combat techniques were originally intended for Genetic Awakened to cultivate.

Generally speaking, it was only possible to cultivate the true combat techniques with the adjustable and optimizable genes of a Genetic Awakened, adapting at will.

Even after reaching the Instinct Level with the six decomposed techniques, it would gradually adjust the genes to make them more compatible with the Free Body, but it took him more than a month to finally master it.

On May 19th, he mastered the Free Body Battle Technique.

Unfortunately, since he had borrowed ’Instantaneous Light’ on May 15th, he’d had to shelve it continuously.

...

The next morning.

Zhao Jiayi, as usual, accompanied Lin Qing by car to the sub-bureau.

However, in the car, Lin Qing noticed that Zhao Jiayi suddenly jolted as if frightened and shrank like a scared cat, becoming silent.

Lin Qing suspected the girl might have discovered something using Telekinesis, but with surveillance on the car, it was inconvenient to talk about things like Telekinesis.

After arriving at the sub-bureau, and once inside the privacy of his office’s resting room, Lin Qing asked her, "What’s wrong?"

"Just now, as we passed White Oak Street, I detected a large group of people with strong Life Fields," Zhao Jiayi said with evident excitement. "Their Life Fields are at least on the same level as yours, and many have even more terrifying auras."

Lin Qing was taken aback.

On the same level as him?

That would mean they were at least people who had mastered the Original Chaoyang Method!

"Who are they? From the headquarters?" Lin Qing asked.

"No."

Zhao Jiayi shook her head, "None of those people were wearing Patrol Chief uniforms, and in the area where the crowd was gathered, I found a hidden elevator shaft that goes down eighty meters!"

"Elevator shaft?" Lin Qing asked. "What’s down there?"

"I only caught a glimpse of a door at the bottom of the elevator shaft," Zhao Jiayi spoke softly. "The door had logos of the Original Research Institute and the Bright Society on it; it seemed to be the entrance to a research institute."

She thought for a moment and then said, "Oh right, there was a line of text on the door."

"Text?" Lin Qing couldn’t help looking at her.
