CHAPTER 496: CHAPTER 195: NEW WORLD [CALM AND COLLECTED] (PART 3)

A chill wind blew in from outside, bringing a hint of moisture.

Zhang Feng, based on the Water Spirit Qi in the air and meteorology, made a quick judgment and knew that it was highly likely to rain within half an hour.

Following certain scenarios and the crisis-thinking of the text.

Under normal circumstances, someone would come into this broken temple to avoid the rain.

To avoid trouble.

Zhang Feng scanned the surroundings, glanced at the deity statue above, and muttered in his heart, "Sorry."

Then, Zhang Feng controlled the Earth Attribute Spiritual Qi to separate the stone back behind the statue, carving out two football-sized holes.

His body then lightly leaped, hiding with a bundled blanket inside.

Whoosh—

The stones closed up again, leaving only a few holes for the exchange of Spiritual Qi and air.

Zhang Feng burrowed into the small blanket, feeling quite comfortable.

Rustle—

As expected, in just over ten minutes, a sudden storm arrived.

Zhang Feng, nestled in the statue, listened to the dull sound of rain and yawned.

Using infant-like thoughts, he persisted for nearly ten hours and then cultivated for another ten hours.

Zhang Feng was also reaching his limit and wanted to sleep well.

Seeing that no one had come yet, he decided to take a nap.

...

"The rain is really heavy..."

"Boss, this stuff is hard to deliver."

"Stop the nonsense, find some firewood quickly and dry the clothes..."

Vaguely, Zhang Feng heard voices talking inside the temple.

Upon realizing this situation.

He also noticed that they hadn’t discovered him.

The footsteps sounded light, like those of little experts with a Constitution of around fifty.

In the next second, Zhang Feng used all his Spiritual Thought, forming his Spiritual Sense, but didn’t rashly ’look’ at them, to avoid any Qi they may have that could detect his probing.

Instead, Zhang Feng began rotating the recording of various ’Spirit-Searching Talismans’ within his Spiritual Sense, to first test if they had any Qi.

This kind of spirit-searching was a distant ’perception’, not interfering with their Qi fluctuations, thus they couldn’t perceive it.

As he continued switching back and forth, Zhang Feng found that they had no Qi, just living in the Spiritual Qi World and practicing martial arts.

The Spiritual Qi of this world was 2.7, at least in this desolate area it was 2.7.

With a Spiritual Qi of 2.7, and if they practiced martial arts, a Constitution of fifty was also normal.

So, Zhang Feng switched to using Spiritual Sense to observe.

As the Spiritual Sense swept over them.

Because Zhang Feng, in reality, had studied spiritual sciences and neurons for several years.

As a result, in that instant when the Spiritual Sense swept over them, based on the Qi scanning, and the breeze and Qi passing over them causing fluctuations.

In the next moment, Zhang Feng’s retina presented the ’blurred’ image of the outside world.

This was the refraction principle of superconductive glasses from the virtual building, as well as principles of aerodynamics and dynamics.

Similarly, the innate ’scanning function’ of the Spiritual Sense, which previously would have to present in the mind, consuming most of the Spiritual Sense to interpret, couldn’t be as simple and straightforward to see.

Of course, it can’t be denied that before, being unfamiliar with the Spiritual Sense, he hadn’t developed this extreme ’optimized usage’.

It’s like someone knowing that a car can drift, but someone familiar with driving might not perfectly execute that maneuver.

Though Zhang Feng was akin to a car manufacturer (Spiritual Sense), he didn’t know how to drift before.

Their fields were different, car manufacturing was Talismanology and Neuroscience, refraction was Vision Elementology and Signalology, and there was also Wind Studies and Dynamics, and so on.

In five years of reality, apart from 100% Overclocking and such.

Zhang Feng also perfected a lot of knowledge, enabling a cohesive and useful integration, effectively reducing self-consumption and achieving a further optimization of his Spiritual Thought.

Under this integration.

Zhang Feng had no worry about the Spiritual Sense consuming Spiritual Qi, rather like watching a movie, constantly observing the ’over a dozen bodyguards’ outside, watching them search for flammable materials throughout the temple.

They still didn’t discover Zhang Feng.

Continuing to collect firewood, then lit fires to bake pancakes, and dry their clothes.

Sizzle—

With the damp matches occasionally making a burning sound.

Zhang Feng watched for a while, based on their clothing, as well as the gold and silver in the boxes at the entrance and several letters, he deduced that this world was around the ’ancient’ Tang Dynasty.

Only now, the letters were signed ’Shang Dynasty’.

They were delivering silver for the government treasury.

Could it be the Great Tang’s Li Bai? Or Di Renjie, or perhaps Yuan Tiangang?

Zhang Feng felt if Li Bai was here, then in this special world, he must be a ’Sword Immortal’.

If it were Di Renjie, he would definitely be a God Detective.

Yuan Tiangang, he certainly would be a master proficient in Feng Shui Secret Techniques.

Thinking about it, as Zhang Feng contemplated these legendary figures.

He only heard the dozen or so guards mention something about magic techniques.

"Gentlemen." A man suddenly asked, "Last month, Mage Ling’s Grand Master went to Hengzhou to beg for rain, do you think he could succeed?"

"Oh?" Another guard said, "I don’t know if the Grand Master can get rain, but I know it’s easy for the Grand Master to suppress you."

He said, and scanned around,

"You speak ill of the Grand Master, aren’t you afraid of eavesdroppers, taking your words to the Grand Master?"

"This..." The man suddenly felt a bit scared.

Because his position was right in front of the deity statue.

If he looked up, he could see the eyes of the statue staring straight at him.

Rumble—

Outside, lightning also illuminated the surroundings, combined with the temple’s flames, making the gaze of the deity statue extraordinarily creepy.

After all, magic masters, and whether a statue was divine or not—

These were things he couldn’t comprehend.

And previously, when the guard saw the man get scared, finding it amusing, he lowered his voice and continued:

"Take a look at this statue, it’s possible that the Grand Master descends upon this statue at this moment, staring straight at you..."

"Ahhh..." Hearing this, the man felt his cheeks tighten, goosebumps rising, increasingly feeling as if someone was inside the statue.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Feng, seeing his reaction, and seeing everyone sitting in a circle around him, all looking upwards.

To be honest, Zhang Feng felt that this simultaneous looking up, illuminated by the firelight, was far more eerie than the deity statue.
