Night of Despair-Chapter 420: Wave 418 two

Huailin Mental Hospital.

Arches of blood of varying sizes appeared on the open ground surrounding the mental hospital.

These lonely doors stood erect, embedded in the ground, continuously oozing strands of dark red blood.

All the blood gathered relentlessly into the interior of the mental hospital, onto a gray figure in the center of the open ground.

The blood, like dye, slowly turned the gray figure red from bottom to top.

By now, a simple wire fence had been erected around the entire mental hospital, blocking all living beings attempting to enter.

The Church’s monks jittered nervously as they patrolled the area with guns.

But nobody noticed.

Further away, on a hillside several kilometers from here, a team of fully armed soldiers in black quietly emerged from the grassy woodland.

Behind the soldiers, two white-haired old men in camouflage bulletproof vests slowly walked out, took out long-range equipment, and observed the situation at Huailin Mental Hospital.

"It’s a perfect creation!"

One of the old men wearing glasses looked at the gray figure on the long-range equipment screen, watching her continuously absorb blood and gradually turn red, his face filled with admiration and awe.

"Stop marveling, the Church’s obstruction is quite troublesome, and we still need to ensure we capture the most critical moment to obtain a sample of the Perfect Blood from her," the other old man impatiently said.

"The Church? Just a bunch of fragile ordinary people. Just a few infected ones could easily take care of them," the bespectacled old man said carelessly, his gaze fixed on the gray figure without blinking.

"Now is not the time to expose ourselves; we must wait a bit longer." The other old man frowned. "The ultimate plan has not yet been fully implemented, the big boss demands that everyone must be patient."

"Once we have the sample of Perfect Blood, the final piece of the virus puzzle will also be completely in place. By then all of us executives could have the chance to be reborn. Become the evolved new humans! Why should we fear anything?" the bespectacled old man complained.

"Just follow orders," the other old man clapped his hands, "Go, deal with the Church people around, and then present a generous gift to our Perfect Blood host. Be careful not to disturb her, according to estimates, the Perfect Blood host should possess unlimited evolutionary adaptability. Once awoken, nothing can stop her actions."

"Yes."

Around them, rows of black-clad soldiers swiftly and silently lunged forward.

Their speed, like that of cheetahs, far surpassed ordinary soldiers. Their bodies remained eerily stable as they ran, and their eyes, under tactical goggles, glinted faintly with blue veins.

In a short time, more than thirty Church soldiers surrounding the mental hospital were shot dead.

Their bodies were all dragged and thrown into the mental hospital.

Soon, less than two minutes later, all the bodies slowly dissolved, turning into threads of blood that flowed into the gray figure.

Leaving only sets of Church uniforms spread on the ground.

The blood on the gray figure’s body increased, and the aura and pressure grew more intense.

Snap.

The ground within a meter beside her suddenly sank, then cracked open with fine breaks.

At the same time, if a Magician was observing, they would notice a vague, blood-colored altar illusion gradually forming behind the gray figure.

That altar, made of countless bones, emitted a clean fluorescent glow from within, shaped like a pyramid, with three curved black sharp horns arching upwards at the tip.

Above the horns, three blood-colored orbs covered in mysterious patterns were suspended.

As the gray figure continued to absorb blood, a bloody mist flowed from the three blood orbs, merging into her back.

Just as the soldiers approached, the gray figure’s eyes suddenly opened.

Spirit Alliance Headquarters.

An overwhelming aura of Spirit Light ebbed and flowed like tidal waves, fluctuating with Yu Hong’s breathing.

He was seated on the black stone chair of the Alliance Hierarch, with a faint blue Ultimate Sun illusion filled with faces emerging behind him.

"The number of people spreading the Spirit Light can no longer be estimated. Through the network, we’ve disseminated Spirit Light, spreading it to at least hundreds of thousands more. Not to mention those possessing Spirit Light, who can’t help but pass it on to their families and friends."

In the hall below.

Qing Huang held a handheld computer, reviewing data while reporting to Yu Hong.

Seeing a hint of the Ultimate Sun illusion, he suppressed his inherent fear, bowed his head to look at the computer instead of facing the scene on Yu Hong’s side.

"After inspection, we have mostly settled in the abandoned castles in the suburbs, and the giant drilling machine has also been fully assembled. Using the factory as a cover, we’ve begun underground operations," Black Light Army’s commander Power King, previously the strongest enhanced man from Hope City, also respectfully reported the situation.

"Summarize the data on the spread of Spirit Light; identify what is hindering further growth of the numbers..." Yu Hong spoke in a deep voice. "Remove the obstacles; I need more, more people to join us, to join the Spirit Alliance."

"Alliance Hierarch, we’ve rested enough, why not let us handle this? Brother Ku Chan and brother Qing Huang have been busy for a long time, it’s not fair to leave everything to them, right?" Zhao Jingtang stepped forward to suggest.

Standing behind him were the new talents of the Hope City Spirit Alliance, all genius magicians, with Guanwu Skill reaching the limit of the Sixth Layer, potentially stepping into the Seventh Layer any time.

Not everyone is willing to join Black Light, and not all are soldiers.

Zhao Jingtang gathered such people.

He was tremendously strong, second only to Ku Chan and stronger than everyone else. After several internal practice bouts, he received many people’s admiration and thus gathered a group to form his core team.

As the former Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Seven Evil Alliance, he knew all too well that he needed enough capable people around him, otherwise, he could even fall behind in intelligence gathering.

"Agreed." Yu Hong responded.

"Moreover, the National Security Bureau sent special forces last time to assassinate the Alliance Hierarch, we must give a powerful response," Qing Huang continued.

"They can’t command local troops, so they can only resort to these surreptitious tactics," Zhao Jingtang said with a smile. "It’s time for us to handle this. Just a small warning to the National Security Bureau will do."

"How many people are needed?" Yu Hong asked.

"No need, just sending a small team from Black Light will suffice," Zhao Jingtang replied.

He smiled toward the commander of the Black Light, Power King.

"In Spirit Alliance, we now rank the Black Light Army second to last, just slightly stronger than the ordinary magician members. Using them to show our strength is appropriate as a deterrent."

"Get it done quickly," Yu Hong wasn’t concerned, at his level, caring about how to handle ordinary powers was abnormal.

Soon after confirming the action, everyone dispersed, and Yu Hong stood alone from his chair and took out the previously enhanced New Eagle Eye Training Method.

Previously, the Training Method was handwritten on a piece of paper, and a bunch of messy Daoist Meridian Eye Training Techniques had been added.

Now, after enhancement, the paper had completely changed its appearance.

The original white paper had turned into a thick yellow paper with an aged feel.

The lines of vertical writing and drawings on the paper were all recorded using Chinese characters.

At the very top, the title was clearly enlarged.

’Capturing God Skill.’

Yu Hong softly read the beginning content of the Cultivation Technique.

’This Cultivation Technique is divided into five layers: Ding, Accumulate, Nourish, Grinding, and Capturing.

It can transform Essence Qi into Divine Intent, store thoughts to awe and capture the hearts. At the needed moment, a sudden release can capture the opponent’s spirit. Against the strong-willed, it suppresses momentarily to gain advantage, and against the weak-willed, it can cause them to be utterly terror-stricken, and in severe cases, even make their Heart Meridian break and die.’

"This incorporates the Daoist art of sight... just unsure where they got it from." At this moment, Yu Hong was in the state of the First Layer: Ding.

He was temporarily still enhancing Eye Drops and couldn’t speed up Cultivation, he could only rely on himself to slowly grind.

Fortunately, he had Spirit Light to aid recovery and the speed wasn’t bad.

According to the manual, what normally took one year to achieve in the first layer Ding, he was almost reaching the level of complete mental concentration.

While cultivating the Capturing God Skill, Yu Hong recalled the recent enhancement of the Black Mark, seemingly progressing towards traditional martial arts.

’Is it the style of the Sky Wish Sect, or the Daoist manuscripts I provided that caused this?’ He had no way of knowing.

Hisss.

Just then, a bright yet gentle flash of electricity passed before his eyes.

"Here it comes, the daylight flash, the true sign of the First Layer Ding’s completion!"

He was delighted.

After cultivating numerous martial arts, returning to train in such low-level martial skills felt not only simpler but also progressed rapidly.

Perfectly aligning with his plan to utilize a vast amount of low-level martial arts to buffer traits.

Having confirmed the completion of the first layer, Yu Hong rested briefly and continued starting the Second Layer.

Similarly, his eyes, already strengthened to a high level, now trained to meet the fixed standards of the Capturing God Skill with ease.

This stage progressed even faster, taking just three short hours to successfully complete the Accumulate step.

Then came the Third Layer.

Yu Hong was going nowhere, just staying at headquarters, quietly practicing martial arts.

After finishing meetings in the morning and breaking through the Second Layer, he hurriedly ate lunch, and in the afternoon, he continued back in his room to intensely train the Third Layer: Nourish.

Conveniently, the previously enhanced Eye Drops also finished their countdown.

Yu Hong seamlessly continued, allowing the Black Mark to further enhance new consumable support Cultivation potions.

Eye Drops for external application, combined with consuming potions internally, added with continuous repair and enhancement by Spirit Light, along with the 24-hour automatic cultivation of martial arts through Dao Breath Circulation.

With such fourfold acceleration, he successfully reached Perfection of the Third Layer early the next day, and then entered the Fourth Layer.

The speed was indeed astonishing.

Meanwhile, the slowly increasing Spirit Light suddenly stopped its growth.

The Spirit Alliance’s dispatched Black Light Team also mysteriously disappeared in a base of the National Security Bureau. And all of Spirit Alliance’s promotional live streams were simultaneously taken down and banned.

Clearly, this was the official making a comprehensive move against the Spirit Alliance.
