Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 85 Fugue
Gao Wu's body is now as hard as steel, and he can withstand bullets without much problem.

Junjie's gentle plea was something he could neither resist nor refuse.

However, from all perspectives, going to Ankyo University is not a good choice.

Ankyo University's martial arts academy doesn't start interviews until the end of June. Going to Ankyo and waiting for three months is such a waste of time.

He is making rapid progress in his martial arts training, thanks to the help of the medicine, the blessing of the Book of Immeasurable Merit, and Song Mingyue's companionship in his training, who can keenly observe all sorts of problems in his martial arts skills.

This kind of in-depth and meticulous guidance is ten or even a hundred times more important than Tie Dalong's teachings.

It wasn't that Tie Dalong didn't teach diligently, but rather that he lacked Song Mingyue's extraordinary keen insight.

On the other hand, the problem of the supernatural entity hasn't been solved yet. Song Mingyue also needs his help.

Without Shen Yue, the short video business would be difficult to continue. He couldn't bear to part with Shen Yue, and also with Tie Dalong... He couldn't bear to part with his hometown folks, and incidentally, he couldn't bear to part with his good friend Xiao Song!

Moreover, it's impossible for Wan Canglong, a martial arts master, to personally come to Dongjiang to take revenge on him.

As for the other warriors, Gao Wu is not particularly afraid of them now.

Leaving aside the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, which has reached the minor completion stage, also possesses its own mysteries, and the Yin Spirit it condenses should have many more variations. Once he understands it, he will have another means of dealing with enemies.

He had many reasons to refuse Shang Qingjun, but when he looked into her gentle, watery eyes, he just couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal.

Just as Gao Wu was about to grit his teeth and agree, Shang Qingjun said softly, "Seeing how conflicted you are, if you don't want to go to Anjing, then don't go. Don't make things difficult for yourself."

Gao Wu was deeply moved. Sister Jun was so considerate and gentle, always thinking of his best interests. Yet he couldn't let go of Xiao Song, and he felt a little sorry for Sister Jun.

He hesitated, wanting to hug Sister Jun, but felt it wasn't quite right. Shang Qingjun took the initiative to hug Gao Wu.

In the past two months, Gao Wu has grown significantly in both height and weight. Shang Qingjun, who is 1.72 meters tall, is a head shorter than Gao Wu.

She was clearly struggling to carry Gao Wu, and could clearly feel the strength and power emanating from his strong, steel-like muscles. Holding him even gave her a strong sense of security.

Shang Qingjun couldn't help but think of Gao Wu four years ago, when he was still a skinny, scrawny boy who looked like he was only ten years old.

At that time, she thought Gao Wu would hardly grow taller in the future, but she never expected that in the blink of an eye, he would become so tall and strong.

She was both pleased and moved: "Xiao Wu has really grown up, I can't even hug him anymore."

The warm and familiar embrace brought back many memories for Gao Wu. He had experienced a great upheaval at that time, and the awakening of his innate wisdom had made his thoughts even more chaotic, leaving him unsure of how to adjust.

It was Shang Qingjun's gentle care and protection that allowed him to find his connection with this world and reintegrate into it.

Gao Wu hugged Shang Qingjun tightly: "Sister Jun, I will always love you!"

Shang Qingjun chuckled and gently stroked Gao Wu's cheek. "You've forgotten about your sister now that you have a girlfriend."

"No way, Sister Jun, don't talk nonsense..." Gao Wu hurriedly denied it, "Xiao Song and I are friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend!"

"Look at you, you've already given yourself away before I even said anything." Shang Qingjun found it amusing. "You're eighteen already, it's normal to have a girl you like."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh softly: "The Song family is a prominent family, so you need to be more generous when you're with girls."

Anjing University is full of scions of prominent families. Shang Qingjun had met this group a few times and found that although they all appeared polite, they were inherently arrogant and self-important, forming their own little world. Outsiders found it difficult to integrate.

She worried that Xiao Wu would encounter the same problem in the future.

"I'm quite generous!" Gao Wu emphasized again, "We're just ordinary friends!"

He didn't want to discuss this topic; he felt both awkward and a little guilty. Well, he didn't know why he felt guilty.

"Sister Jun, the account is now in your hands..." Gao Wu quickly changed the subject and started talking to Shang Qingjun about company matters.

The registered company is called Sunshine Media Co., Ltd., and the legal representative is Shang Qingjun.

Ankyo is the political and economic center of the Northern State, far surpassing Dongjiang. At Ankyo University, Shang Qingjun will also have access to more circles and find more opportunities.

Shang Qingjun took this matter very seriously. She saw it clearly: with the explosive popularity of short videos, short video streamers have become a fast track to transcend social classes.

Although the competition on this path is fierce, it's not as brutal as the martial arts world. If Xiao Wu can become a major internet celebrity, his income will be quite substantial, if nothing else.

With Xiao Wu's special physical talent, it's not impossible for him to reach the Martial Master level, provided he has enough resources.

If one can truly reach the level of a martial arts master, they will have achieved a leap in social class. They might even be able to establish a powerful and prosperous family.

Shang Qingjun took this matter very seriously and explained her plan in detail to Gao Wu. Gao Wu actually had no interest in any of this, but he forced himself to talk to Shang Qingjun for over an hour.

Gao Wu finally managed to coax Shang Qingjun into resting before letting out a long sigh of relief. Business matters are far more complicated than martial arts training.

Because practicing martial arts is a personal matter, something he can completely control. Business, however, requires cooperation from multiple parties; success isn't something he can achieve simply through hard work.

After silently reciting the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra a hundred times, Gao Wu felt his body and mind become clear and pure, returning to his optimal state. Having completed the basic exercises, Gao Wu then began reciting the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra.

This was the first time he had formally recited the mantra since it was activated.

The incantation of the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra was deeply imprinted in Gao Wu's memory. Reciting the incantation was not difficult, but the entire incantation of more than a thousand characters was difficult to pronounce and took him nearly two minutes to recite the entire incantation.

A crimson flame shone deep within Gao Wu's brow, instantly transforming into a gigantic and magnificent bird that flapped its long, crimson wings and plunged into the deeper Yin spirit.

A faint crimson light flickered around the Yin spirit, clearly absorbing the spiritual power, or rather, the magical power, transformed from the incantation.
Gao Wu felt that the title was not important; what was important was that the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra was used to strengthen the Yin Spirit, which was closely related to his spiritual power.

The stronger the Yin spirit, the stronger his spiritual power.

Song Mingyue has said several times that the foundation for mastering source power is spiritual power.

Through the upgrade of the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra, his spiritual power had reached 11 points, yet he still couldn't sense the source energy. This was very strange.

Is it still a problem with the Yin spirit?
With a thought, Gao Wu summoned Yin Shen, which shone forth from the depths of his brow and stood before him.

The Yin spirit transformed from the crimson light had already acquired a somewhat watery, dense quality. Standing opposite Gao Wu, it looked exactly like Gao Wu, only exceptionally ethereal and elusive.

Gao Wu glanced at the huge mirror embedded in the bedroom wall. The mirror did not reflect the Yin God. He carefully observed himself in the mirror and found no crimson light in his pupils.

Clearly, his ability to see the spirits stemmed from a mysterious connection between them, rather than from visual perception.

Gao Wu shifted his consciousness to his Yin God. Looking around through the Yin God's perspective, he could see countless Yuan Force particles floating in the air. Although there seemed to be a lot of them, their concentration was hundreds or thousands of times lower than that of the Void Realm.

When the source energy particles landed on the Yin spirit, they no longer had that corrosive, permeating feeling.

The surrounding walls, roof, floor, and other materials all transformed into clusters of light with stable frames in the eyes of the Yin spirit.

Even looking at himself, he appeared as a ball of multicolored light. The bright, clear light between his eyebrows was the most striking.

Gao Wu had a sudden realization: Yin spirits could pass through these substances without being harmed.

He was naturally bold, and once he thought of something, he tried it without hesitation. The Yin spirit reached out, and sure enough, its hand passed right through the thick wooden door of the bedroom.

The Yin spirit took a step forward, and the thick wooden door seemed to turn into a ball of light, allowing him to pass through easily.

The spirit wandered around the corridor, and Gao Wu tried to pass through the wall again, and as expected, he was not hindered at all.

Once outside the room, Gao Wu discovered that his Yin Spirit could float in the air. However, this floating was different from that of a balloon or anything like that; it didn't rely on air buoyancy, but rather on his consciousness to activate it.

At the end of February, the cold winds became even more biting.

The Yin spirit is not affected by the wind, but countless tiny particles crisscross the world. The vast majority of particles have no effect, but a few can penetrate the Yin spirit and cause harm.

Some of these tiny particles are like water, some are as hot as fire, and some even emit strange electric light when they collide with the spirits.

Gao Wu looked up at the starry sky through the Yin God. There were few factories in Dongjiang City, the air quality was very good, and with the strong north wind, the twinkling stars made the starry sky appear even more profound and vast.

From the perspective of the Yin spirit, the night sky is like an endless abyss, and the Yin spirit may fall into the abyss at any moment...

The endless, vast starry sky exerted immense pressure on Gao Wu for the first time.

He quickly realized that it must be the various forms of radiation emanating from the universe that had affected his Yin spirit, causing him to instinctively fear the starry sky.

Therefore, even a Yin Spirit at the Lesser Completion stage is quite fragile. Even without intense source energy interference, it is difficult to remain in the outside world for an extended period.

For experimental purposes, Gao Wu piloted his Yin Spirit outwards until he reached a crossroads, where the connection between the Yin Spirit and his main body became somewhat unstable.

His consciousness was switching back and forth between his Yin spirit and his true self, which he found extremely difficult.

Gao Wu runs frequently and uses a smartwatch to calculate distances. He knows that the intersection is about 500 meters from his home.

The Yin spirit can fly 500 meters away. Although it is far from being able to travel to the Nine Heavens, it is still quite good.

The problem is that the Yin spirit cannot interfere with matter; it can only observe, which limits its usefulness.

After studying it for a long time, Gao Wu felt somewhat disappointed. Yin spirits could probably only be used for spying, and the distance couldn't be too far, nor could the time be too long.

Yin spirits cannot be exposed to sunlight, nor can they move during the day. Although Gao Wu hadn't tried it, he was quite certain, because yin spirits are extremely fragile.

Overall, the Yin spirit transformed by the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra isn't very useful. Its real benefit is that it enhances his spiritual power.

With the addition of the Swift Wind and Thunder Transformation, mental strength can be increased to 14 points, and the power of the Thunder Transformation it triggers increases by nearly five times, which is a very significant improvement.

Gao Wu hardened his heart. If Huang Hai didn't come, fine. But if he did, he would make sure Huang Hai never returned!

As for Wan Canglong, this guy holds a high position of power, and because of that, unless Wan Canglong goes crazy, it's unlikely that he'll personally come to cause trouble for him...
