Spirit Realm Walker - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Call

“F*ck, you scared me to death…”

Zhang Yuanqing sat down on the edge of the bed, his heart palpitating.

He suspected that if he had returned a second later, he might have returned as a corpse.

When he finally calmed down and saw the red dancing shoes on his feet, his heart almost skipped a beat again.

“Remove, remove…”

The red dancing shoes turned to red light and dissipated.

Damn, he almost had to cut off his feet!

Zhang Yuanqing was completely relaxed now. He got up and walked to the window, staring out at the tall buildings.

He saw the green leaves reflecting the colorful lights. He listened to the aunties and uncles in the neighborhood and the slight noise of cars driving in the distance.

It was lunchtime. A delivery man in a blue uniform was riding a scooter through the district.

From the windows of the neighboring residential building came the explosive sound of vegetables colliding with hot oil and the clatter of shovels frying.

The human world was still the best. The big city was still the most comfortable…

He stood there for a few minutes before he felt completely free of that sense of horror.

Calmer now, he hurried to the mirror to test his skills.

He calmed himself down and communicated with the power of Great Yin in his body.

Soon, Zhang Yuanqing saw his body in the mirror being erased inch by inch and disappearing into thin air.

He could really turn invisible. Hehehe…

Nine seconds later, the body was outlined again and presented in the mirror. “I’m a little tired. It’s like running a few rounds on the field…”

Next, he tried the strength of his physical body. He easily crushed the battery and used a penknife to cut a small wound on the back of his hand. It healed in less than five minutes.

Putting aside superpowers, just the increase in muscle strength was already beyond mortals.

As for the other active skill, “Spirit Devouring”, he did not have the chance to use it yet because he did not have a spirit body nearby.

“My physique is so strong now. If I trigger an old illness, can my body withstand a longer period of overload? No, I should be thinking about whether there are any doctors among the Spirit Realm Walkers. I have to find someone to take a look at my strange illness.”

Zhang Yuanqing then opened his inventory to admire his tools, but he did not take them out.

It was fine if it was the Demon Subduing Staff, but what if he had to dance awkwardly with the red dancing shoes?

Staring at the Demon Subduing Staff, Zhang Yuanqing fell into deep thought.

“If I remember correctly, the banyan tree spirit said that the Yang soul of Goddess Sandao is sealed in the Demon Subduing Staff. Will she come to find me…”

It scared him just thinking about it.

“NPCs in the Spirit Realm shouldn’t be able to appear in the real world, right? The possibility of me entering the Mountain Temple again isn’t too high. The temple has already been explored. It’s impossible for it to support another mission.”

Although he said that, he was not sure. The smile of Goddess Sandao kept flashing in his mind.

“I’ll go to the unit later and verify with that old pervert and the chief.”

At this moment, the doorknob was twisted a few times, but because Zhang Yuanqing had locked the door beforehand, the person outside could not enter.

“Zhang Yuanqing, why did you lock the door? Did you do something bad in secret?”

Aunt’s sweet, clear voice came through.

“Time to eat,” she grunted.

Only then did Zhang Yuanqing realize that he was starving. He answered in unison and quickly retracted the Demon Subduing Staff. He took off his clothes that were stained with dust and blood and changed into a jacket and black sweatpants. Then he hid his dirty clothes.

Only then did he walk to the door and twist it open.

Aunt stood outside the door, looking into the house with her round and pretty oval face. “Why did you lock the door?” she asked suspiciously.

“Cultivating a divine technique.”

“What kind of technique?”

“A secret technique.”

“You looking for a beating, punk?”

Aunt glared at him fiercely. Her eyes were very expressive, being round, large, bright, and intelligent. They were not bloodshot or cloudy.

Such big sparkling eyes were highly praised even in ancient times.

At the dining table, Zhang Yuanqing’s appetite increased greatly. Grandma was glad that her culinary skills had improved, but she was also worried that she had cooked too little today.

“You have to go to school tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight. Don’t get up when I call you,” Grandma admonished.

“I can sleep early if Aunt doesn’t come to my room to play games at night.” Zhang Yuanqing immediately pushed the blame away.

He was kicked in the shin at the bottom of the table.

“She has work tomorrow.” Grandma turned back to her daughter. “Call me in advance if you’re working till late.”

His aunt was an intern doctor in the gynecology and obstetrics department of a public tertiary hospital. When there were fewer patients, she had nothing to do. When it was busy, she was even more tired than an office worker.

“You should interact more with male colleagues when you have time. There should be many male doctors pursuing you in the hospital, right?” Grandma probed.

“Mom, that’s not all. Men who bring their wives to the prenatal checkup often secretly ask me for their contact details,” Aunt said smugly, her hands on her hips.

Grandma raised her hand to slap her. Aunt’s brain shrank as she silently ate.

As the mother and daughter talked, Zhang Yuanqing’s mind flew to what he had to do in the afternoon.

“I’ll contact Guan Ya after dinner and tell the officials that I’ve successfully cleared the dungeon. I also want to write a dungeon report. I wonder if the first clear dungeon report is worth anything and how much credit I can get.”

“I have to mention the awakening of Goddess Sandao. I can’t forget it. I feel like this is a hidden mission.”

After the meal, Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room and found that his phone was out of battery.

Because he was busy and worried about the Spirit Realm, he forgot to charge his phone.

After charging it, he saw four or five missed calls.

Caller ID: Guan Ya

Two of them were from an hour ago when he was still in the Spirit Realm. The remaining three were two minutes ago.

“Are you in such a hurry to confirm if I’m dead?” Zhang Yuanqing complained in his mind. He tapped his finger and called Guan Ya back.

The two-story building’s glass walls reflected sunlight.

In the spacious and luxurious office, Li Dongze finished a simple lunch, glanced at his wristwatch, and came to the office area with his cane.

“Guan Ya, is there any news from Primordial Beginning?”

It was the third time he had asked the same question.

Although he didn’t hold out much hope, things were always on his mind before the dust settled.

Li Dongze had already written his apology and was just waiting for the results before admitting his mistake to the centurion. He had been careless this time and lacked the awareness of a Scout.

As for the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, although he felt that it was a pity, the trial mission activated by the character card was not something that humans could contend with

“His phone’s off.” Guan Ya shook her head. “I’ve called him half a dozen times.”

You can’t contact him… Li Dongze seemed to have expected this. He exhaled silently.

“Let’s wait a little longer…”

“Okay, Chief.” Guan Ya flipped back her hair and smiled reassuringly. “Anything is possible until the results come back. Just like Schrödinger’s cat. You never know if it’s alive or dead until you open the box.”

Wang Tai couldn’t help but say, “That’s not what Schrödinger’s cat means… In terms of probability, without special methods and help, the possibility of him clearing the She Ling Tunnel is almost zero.”

Guan Ya and Li Dongze’s faces darkened. “Shut up!”

Did I say something wrong again… Wang Tai silently lowered his head.

Such low EQ! Li Dongze and Guan Ya criticized him in their minds.

After being colleagues for so long, they had long given up on nurturing Wang Tai’s social skills.

Guan Ya felt that the comparison was stark. Look at that kid, Primordial Beginning. He was handsome and spoke nicely. If he could become a colleague, work would not be so boring in the future.

Unfortunately, he had bad luck.

If she still couldn’t contact him after work, it would be completely hopeless… Guan Ya sighed and leaned lazily on the armchair, letting her voluptuous chest tighten her white shirt.

“Report to me immediately if there’s any

news.”

Li Dongze was about to leave when Guan Ya’s phone rang.

Then, the phone on the table rang.

Li Dongze stopped and stared at Guan Ya’s phone.

Caller ID: Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.

Li Dongze’s breathing quickened. Guan Ya shot out of her chair and hit her desk with a loud clang. The supplies on the desk toppled over.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and her face was filled with shock and ecstasy.

She looked at Li Dongze as she grabbed her phone.

Li Dongze’s face tightened. “Put it on speaker!”

His voice was low and serious.

They both looked grim as if they were trying to make a call to a kidnapper.

Guan Ya answered the phone with anticipation and suppressed ecstasy. She said:

“Primordial Beginning?”

“I cleared the trial mission and came out of the Mountain Temple.” Zhang Yuanqing’s voice came through the speaker. Both Guan Ya and Li Dongze froze. Wang Tai, who was oblivious to the outside world, suddenly looked up. This Scholar, who was obsessed with data, looked shocked and stunned.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the mustache on Li Dongze’s mouth began to dance visibly as he cried, “Oh, God! Did you hear my prayer? This is unbelievable. Oh, God, I can’t believe this is happening.”

Then, he realized that he had lost his composure and quickly restrained his expression. “Elegance, elegance…” Li Dongze knew what it meant to clear the She Ling Tunnel. Clearing an S-rank Spirit Realm that was determined by the Supreme Solitary Sect to be impossible to clear would definitely attract high-level attention. Although Primordial Beginning was a newcomer, he could foresee that this kid would become famous overnight as a Spirit Realm Walker.

In addition, the information and tools contained in the S-rank Spirit Realm were real gains and would definitely be rich.

Be it official organizations or civilian organizations, they were all eager to tackle the difficult Spirit Realm, especially the first clear. This was because this was the fastest and most effective way to strengthen the organization.

Finally, and most importantly, there were only a few Night Wanderers in the Songhai Region. The existence of the She Ling Tunnel had caused the official organization to lose many Night Wanderers.

If they had a detailed guide, the number of Night Wanderers would increase every year.

Although it was impossible for the reward to be as generous as the first kill after the Spirit Realm was conquered, the officials were interested in the increase in the number of Night Wanderers.

This was enough to attract the attention of the Five Elements Alliance’s elders.

“How, how did you do it…” Guan Ya muttered.

“It’s not difficult. I passed it easily. Heh, I passed it with my legs.”

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said something that matched the status of his ID.

For a moment, Guan Ya was speechless. She couldn’t tell if he was joking or bragging. In her mind, Zhang Yuanqing was a smart college student who was good at socializing, but it was certainly impossible to say that he was outstanding.

Her fondness of this new colleague was limited to his pleasant nature and humor, unrelated to his abilities.

Now, she needed to re-evaluate this new Night Wanderer.

“Good. Well done.” Li Dongze tapped his cane excitedly.

“Come to the unit immediately,” he added urgently. Zhang Yuanqing replied, “Okay.”

After ending the call, Wang Tai couldn’t help but say, “He has superhuman abilities. I don’t know what they are at the moment, but they must exist. Chief, you seem to have picked up a freak.”

Hearing this, the smile on Li Dongze’s face spread uncontrollably. He coughed and said unhappily, “What freak? He’s a genius!”

With that, he hurried to his office as if it were an emergency.

Li Dongze felt that the title of the apology letter should be changed more elegantly. For example: “I’m sorry, Centurion. I accidentally picked up a freak.”

He could hardly wait.
