I will burn books and slay gods.

Chen Ye helped Lin Su stagger out of the entrance of the Municipal Children's Hospital.

Lin Su's abdomen was severely injured by a short-circuited high-energy particle.

Wang Xiaoming also came out, his tired face barely concealing his exhaustion.

He staggered to the door and leaned weakly against the doorframe.

During this mission, Wang Xiaoming overused his abilities, resulting in excessive energy expenditure and making it difficult for him to maintain his physical strength. He needs to rest more.

Chen Ye looked up at the first rays of sunlight that had just risen outside, reflecting on the stained glass. At that moment, the sculpture at the entrance seemed to lose all its dullness.

A group of ambulances were parked downstairs, and medical staff took over Lin Su and lifted her onto a stretcher.

"You go first," Chen Ye said to Lin Su. "I'll come see you after I'm done here."

Lin Su did not answer, but got into the ambulance with the help of medical staff.

A dark figure walked up to Chen Ye and said, "Don't worry, the injury isn't too serious. You'll recover after some rest."

Chen Ye looked at the man, who was none other than the Ruler Instructor.

"Although this crisis was very difficult, we still succeeded." Gui Chi patted Chen Ye on the shoulder and comforted him softly.

After reassuring him, the instructor left to discuss precautions with the newly arrived medical staff.

Chen Ye watched the instructor's retreating figure, then glanced back at the hospital, his brows furrowed.

"Chen Ye!" Exhausted, Wang Xiaoming staggered to Chen Ye's back. "I'm leaving now. I've used up too much energy and need to rest."

Chen Ye nodded, "Okay."

Chen Ye looked at the monitor on his wrist, where the light core displayed in the center was becoming increasingly bright.

Meanwhile, the surrounding karmic fog was also growing thicker, almost enveloping the light core.

Chen Ye looked at the monitoring device, his brows furrowed.

His eyes were fixed on the monitor on his wrist, the central light core shining brightly, as if it wanted to jump out of the monitor!

In addition, the karmic mist surrounding the light core is gradually condensing towards it, trying to envelop it in mist.

Just as Chen Ye was concentrating, a hand slapped on his back. Startled by the sudden touch, Chen Ye's body jolted, and he turned around.

"Ah!" Chen Ye cried out involuntarily from the sudden attack.

When Chen Ye saw what was behind him, his face was full of speechlessness. "Brother Lu, how can you be so childish?"

Lu Yuan patted Chen Ye's back repeatedly, laughing as he said, "Hey, don't be like that. I wasn't trying to scare you... ah, no. I was just... calling you."

Lu Yuan patted Chen Ye and explained, but when he looked at Chen Ye, his eyes were full of avoidance, and he seemed a little guilty.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, alright... Hey, don't say that, you kid, even though you haven't participated in that many missions, you always manage to come up with unexpected decisions when faced with danger."

Chen Ye's lips curled up in a smile as Lu Yuan praised him, his joy almost impossible to conceal.

Snapping out of her euphoria, and remembering the condition of her wrist, she slammed it down in front of Lu Yuan and asked:

"Brother Lu, do you know what happened?"

"Although the power I used this time was quite expended, why is the light from this light core so dazzling?"

Lu Yuan looked at the light core inside the monitor on Chen Ye's wrist, which shone with an unusual brilliance.

This situation is not very common. Lu Yuan stared intently at the light core inside the monitor, but he couldn't give Chen Ye an answer.

Lu Yuan then gave Chen Ye a suggestion, saying, "You can go back to Morning Star and ask Old Li. He's a know-it-all and might be able to give you a satisfactory answer."

Chen Ye suddenly realized, "Oh right, I almost forgot about Old Li, that guy."

Before Lu Yuan could react, the arm that was supporting Chen Ye's shoulder missed its target.

By the time Lu Yuanfa recovered, Chen Ye had already run far away, gotten into a black sedan, started the engine, turned the corner, and left the hospital.

Lu Yuan watched Chen Ye walk away, shook his head, and said helplessly, "Kids these days are so energetic. Unlike me! Just an old man..."

Meanwhile, Chen Ye, driving back to Morning Star, kept glancing at the monitor on his wrist. The light core was still shining brightly.

After the rain, the air was filled with a moist and fresh scent, and pedestrians came and went, crossing the zebra crossing.

The street wasn't clean; there were only a few withered leaves floating on the water stains.

Driving through the city and into the deep mountains, following the route he had come from, Chen Ye quickly arrived at the gate of Morning Star and parked his car.

Without lingering for a moment, Chen Ye went up to the second floor and stood at the door of Old Li's room.

Chen Ye did not push the door open directly, but knocked lightly a few times: "Ding ding dong".

"Who is it?" A familiar voice came from inside the room; it was Old Li.

"It's me. Chen Ye," Chen Ye replied.

Upon hearing Chen Ye's voice, the door opened a few seconds later. "Come in."

Then Old Li poured a glass of water from the cabinet by the door and handed it to Chen Ye, who took it and took a sip.

"Sit wherever you like," Old Li said. "Why are you back so soon? I just heard your good news not long ago. Did you see Lu Yuan?"

"Yes, I saw him before I came back from the Municipal Children's Hospital," Chen Ye replied.

"Tell me, what's wrong with the monitor?" Old Li asked.

"You know I came to see you because of this?" Chen Ye asked, puzzled.

"When you arrived, Lu Yuan had already told me about your situation via phone. You were a bit impulsive; once you got excited about something, you forgot you could have told me first. Luckily, Lu Yuan knew and told me about your situation right before you arrived," Old Li explained.

Chen Ye held a teacup in his left hand, but covered his face with his right, saying, "Look, oh dear. I completely forgot I could contact you directly."

Old Li didn't continue asking Chen Ye questions, but instead said, "Take your monitoring device down and let me see it."

Chen Ye put down his teacup, took off the monitor from his wrist, and handed it to Lao Li with both hands. After Lao Li took the monitor, he carefully examined the internal optical core.

Old Li held the monitoring device high and carefully examined the light core through the sunlight streaming through the window.

Old Li's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly stood up, startling Chen Ye, who was drinking water. Chen Ye almost dropped his teacup!

"What's wrong?" Chen Ye asked. "Old Li, have you discovered something?"

Old Li did not answer, but walked to the window and observed the situation of the light core inside the monitor more carefully.

This intense focus made Chen Ye nervous, worried that something might go wrong.

Chen Ye sat up from the chair, not daring to make a sound, his eyes fixed on Old Li, and the room became unusually quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Old Li finally put down the monitoring device, placed it on the table, and let out a long sigh.

This sigh made Chen Ye's heart clench as if something was gripping it, making it hard to breathe...

Chen Ye couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's going on, Lao Li? Before you die, at least give me a straight answer. I can't stand you like this..."

Old Li sighed as always, shook his head, and said, "You..."

"Hey! It's nothing. Nothing at all," Old Li suddenly shouted, his voice laced with laughter.

Chen Ye was speechless and inexplicably angry after being tricked by Lao Li.

"What's wrong with me?" Chen Ye suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice.

"Good thing," Old Li said. "This is definitely good news. When I was carefully observing the situation of the light core inside your monitor, I was indeed a little worried at first, because the karmic fog inside your monitor was very thick, almost covering the light core."

"But in an instant, in a place that is not easily noticed, the light emitted by the light core is dispelling the fog of karmic obstacles."

"So, it's not because you use your abilities frequently that the fog has increased."

"It's because too much capacity was used, which generated a lot of new capacity. In short: you're about to break through."

"Breakthrough?" Chen Ye was very puzzled by this topic. "Breakthrough? What's that?"

Old Li didn't quite understand the term "breakthrough" when he heard Chen Ye use it...

Then Old Li pulled out a small blackboard from somewhere and began explaining to Chen Ye:

"The so-called breakthrough is very simple to understand. It means that your affinity has generated an excessive amount of 'experience packs' due to excessive and frequent use."

"And the extra 'experience packs' have exceeded the maximum limit that your light core can withstand!"

"Therefore, this is why the light core inside your monitor is emitting a dazzling light, which is the leak of the 'experience pack'."

"However, don't misunderstand this as meaning that frequent use of abilities will help you break through quickly."

"Because overuse of capabilities can cause incalculable dangers."

"Only a small number of 'experience packs' have been stored. Perhaps it's because of your special physique, but I can't guarantee that this is true, so don't use your ability too frequently in the end."

Listening to Lao Li's explanation, Chen Ye's face was filled with even more questions. He asked, "Since it's an 'experience pack' leak, what method, or rather, what way, can we break through?"

Old Li banged on the small blackboard and said seriously:

"That's right, this is a crucial step in the breakthrough!"

"All awakened beings will face a challenge after reaching this stage. Although the challenge is the same, the answers are different, and the results are also different."

"Given your situation, you've only just begun to enter the threshold of the Seventh Level of the Lamp Realm: the Ignition Realm."

"The challenge of igniting the realm is that you need to experience a profound conceptual shock or a life-or-death crisis, a manifestation of latent 'attributes,' and complete a preliminary self-awareness, answering the question: 'Why do I fight?'"

"Only after completing these two challenges will you have truly reached the Ignition Realm."

"These seven layers of lamps not only give the Night Watchmen more energy to expend, but also further enhance their own strength."
