Chapter 328 Searching for the Cobra_2
The man's brows furrowed.
Spiritual Power, a mysterious energy.
Unlike Inner Strength and Body Technique Masters, Spiritual Power is intangible and difficult to cultivate.
While Inner Qi and Body Techniques, no matter how difficult to cultivate, always have methods to improve, Spiritual Power concerns the brain.
And the development of the brain, even with modern technology, has seen almost no advancement.
Modern technological advancements in brain research, compared to a hundred years ago, show almost no progress. The seemingly prosperous brain research is merely an extrapolation on the achievements of predecessors, without any substantial changes.
It is under such circumstances that superpower users related to Spiritual Power appear particularly precious and mysterious.
With Spiritual Power, they can induce dreams, give psychological suggestions, and even kill forcefully using Spiritual Power.
Even a master in the Death Gate Realm finds it exceptionally troublesome to deal with a superpower user of Spiritual Power.
Because attacks related to Spiritual Power are formless and traceless, making them difficult to guard against.
"Yet another fool who only knows the benefits of Spiritual Power but not its weaknesses."
The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
"I became a Legendary Assassin not just because my Spiritual Power exceeds that of ordinary people by birth, but because I understand caution."
God is fair; when creating humans, He does not create perfect beings.
The stronger one direction is, the weaker the other direction becomes.
The stronger the Spiritual Power, the weaker the body becomes, and vice versa.
Cobra had been frail and sickly since childhood and researched himself for ten years.
During this decade, he discovered that his energy supply naturally favored the direction of Spiritual Power.
Approximately seventy percent of the energy absorbed into his body was intercepted by his brain's Spiritual Power, leaving only thirty percent for his physical body, revealing the true reason for his frail physique.
He studied countless experts similar to his condition.
Humans are naturally able to cultivate in only one direction.
Those with strong Spiritual Power always have weak bodies.
No matter how much of a legendary expert he was, if he did not take precautions, even a common boxer could knock him down.
At this thought, the man gave a strange smile, his body turned ethereal, transforming into countless feathers that dispersed in midair.
"Disappeared?"
Lin Beichen looked below in the night sky, his brows slightly furrowed.
He had already discovered Cobra, but just as Cobra transformed into feathers and disappeared, he found the light in his perception, bright as the sun, vanished instantly.
On the bustling commercial street of Dragon Sleep River, where the crowds surged, no one noticed that a person had gone missing.
"If my perception were not sharp enough, I would never have discovered you."
Lin Beichen muttered to himself.
"It's a pity that you do not understand the mystery of the Withering Rebirth Body. No matter how well you disguise, you can never truly disappear. Once locked by the perception of the Withering Rebirth Body, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you cannot hide."
Lin Beichen thought silently as he descended to the ground.
"Let me see, as a legendary assassin, how well you've mastered the hiding technique..."
Lin Beichen strolled leisurely along the commercial street with his hands in his pockets.
Dragon Sleep River Street is the most lively entertainment spot in the Dragon Sleep River Scenic Area.
As the most popular commercial street by Dragon Sleep River, it operates 24 hours a day, brightly lit, and crowded with people.
This commercial street boasts many trendy stores, with fashionable and hot model girls and internet celebrities frequently stopping by to take photos, attracting countless tourists from out of town.
Dragon Sleep River is even famous overseas, drawing many foreign tourists who come specifically to visit.
Lin Beichen did not use Spiritual Qi to conceal his presence. His handsome face, flawless demeanor, and ethereal, immortal-like temperament immediately drew the attention of the crowd.
Internet celebrity girls around him stared at Lin Beichen with sparkling eyes, like a pack of wolves eyeing their prey.
"The aura is around here."
Lin Beichen paid no attention to the sound of shutter clicks around him and stopped before a bar door.
He pushed the door open and entered.
The music, like a tidal wave, and the chaotic lights, turned the nightclub into a frenzied world.
The crowd was immersed in a decadent atmosphere, but when encountering Lin Beichen, they unconsciously parted, creating a path automatically.
Lin Beichen stepped forward, reaching the second floor.
The second floor was quieter, with sofa booths separated by partitions.
"Qian Mingxing, if you're out to have fun, learn to enjoy yourself. Recently, a batch of Western European models came. Their 20-year-old figures are tender enough to press out water. Want me to get you a few?"
A voice came from a nearby booth.
Lin Beichen froze for a moment upon hearing this, unexpectedly encountering acquaintances here.
"Why is this person not in Jiangnan but in the Imperial Capital?"
Lin Beichen had seen Zhou Ya during the battle in Jiangnan Water Village.
At that time, he did not acknowledge Zhou Ya, but he knew her very well.
At that time, Zhou Ya had two girls and two boys by her side. Afterward, Lin Beichen had Medicine Immortal Pavilion and Zhongcheng Hall secretly protect Zhou Ya back home. He had thought the two men would stay in Jiangnan, but they had come to the Imperial Capital.
Qian Mingxing had a slender figure, a gentle yet handsome appearance, and was dressed appropriately like a nobleman from a wealthy family.
The club's princess drinking with him frequently cast coquettish glances at him, but Qian Mingxing showed no reaction, instead carrying a hint of melancholy.
"Wu Haoyu, I came to the Imperial Capital this time to seek Master Lin of Zhongcheng Hall, not to mess around."
Several men sat beside Qian Mingxing, one of whom was Wu Haoyu, who had used his connections during the battle in Jiangnan Water Village.
His father was the vice president of the Jiangnan Business Association. Though not an official institution, it was a semi-official organization.
Within the Business Association, there were numerous connections, enabling Wu Haoyu's father's influence to extend to the Imperial Capital despite being based in Jiangnan.
Wu Haoyu smiled bitterly upon hearing this and gulped down his drink.
"Qian Mingxing, you don't know how difficult this matter is. Zhongcheng Hall is not what it used to be. Its Patriarch is someone close to Lin Beichen. Even for our fathers, asking for an audience is not guaranteed any respect."
Despite his father's connections allowing Wu Haoyu to move freely in the Imperial Capital, they were still far behind compared to Zhongcheng Hall.
The current Zhongcheng Hall was a top-tier family in the entire Imperial Capital. The people who could normally enter and exit Zhongcheng Hall were all behemoths in major associations and official institutions. He was not qualified at all.
"Qian Mingxing, Wu Haoyu, who are you talking about?"
A man lounging on a nearby sofa, leaning against a beauty, lazily asked.
"Wang Ruoshan, your influence is great. Can you help me find a way into Zhongcheng Hall?"
Wu Haoyu asked.
The man he asked, Wang Ruoshan, although appearing lazy, had an extraordinary air about him, always carrying the demeanor of a leader among a group of wealthy young men.
Wang Ruoshan's origin was mysterious. No one knew his exact details, not even Wu Haoyu, who only knew he was among the top ranks of major families in the Imperial Capital.
"Zhongcheng Hall is a major family. Zhao Weinan is its leader. Do you think it's that easy to meet her?"
Wang Ruoshan said disdainfully.
Qian Mingxing and Wu Haoyu might have some influence in Jiangnan, but what is the Imperial Capital?
As the saying goes, in the Imperial Capital, you could throw a brick anywhere and it would hit several millionaires.
Without stepping into the Imperial Capital, one wouldn't know how deep the waters of this world run!
If it weren't for Wu Haoyu's generosity in getting a batch of Western European models, Wang Ruoshan wouldn't have bothered attending tonight's gathering.
"From what I know, Zhao Weinan has been reclusive since becoming the Patriarch. Despite the rumors of her being an ice beauty, she never gives any man a chance. How could a woman like that give any man a chance?"
Wang Ruoshan appeared puzzled.
"Wang Ruoshan, I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be false? You don't know how shocking that day in Jiangnan Water Village was."
Wu Haoyu said, a trace of daze in his eyes.
The battle in Jiangnan Water Village had completely changed Wu Haoyu's worldview, making him realize the vastness of the world's truth!
It turned out that humans could indeed turn the world upside down.
"There you go again... Talking about superhumans and immortals. Do you think I'd believe that nonsense?"
Wang Ruoshan said in a bad mood.
Despite being fine most of the time, he would become enigmatic whenever talking about the battle in Jiangnan Water Village.
