1845 Misleading

Meng Ruhui pondered for a while, but his expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to be so anxious. The Federation’s military is far from being in chaos. We still need to think about it carefully. The energy body can still last us for a while. Let’s wait and see what the Federation is up to. It won’t be too late for us to take countermeasures.”

Meng Ruhui looked at Fang Heng and cupped his fists. He said, “Brother Fang Heng, can you hold on? We need to activate the energy supply in a short time to deal with the sudden attack of the Federation.”

“Of course, no problem,” said Fang Heng as he stood up. He continued, “I need another ritual team to help with the fine-tuning, as well as some materials for the setup,”

“Thank you for your hard work, Brother Fang Heng. I’ll get someone to prepare the materials now.”

Fang Heng nodded and said, “Oh right, there’s something I need to trouble you with. A friend of mine is seriously injured. She should still be in the casualty cave.”

“I understand. I’ll get someone to bring her over and do my best to treat her.”

“Thank you. Also, you need to draw the magic array in a quiet area.”

Aktu stepped forward and said, “Brother Fang Heng, I’ll bring you there.”

Fang Heng nodded and followed Aktu to another cave to set up a magic array.

After the simple discussion, the guild players left one after another.

Meng Ruhui watched the crowd leave in silence.

Yin Mo walked behind Meng Ruhui and asked, “Big Brother, what are you thinking about?”

“Nothing, I just feel that I missed something.”



Fang Heng took the time to check on Fana and Gu Qingzhu, who were sent to the rest area of the Mundt Gang’s base.

Fana was still resting with her eyes closed, drawing out a portion of her perception to look over Gu Qingzhu.

When she saw Fang Heng coming over, she shook her head at him.

Gu Qingzhu had been unconscious the entire time and showed no signs of waking up.

Fang Heng paused for a moment before returning to the cave and setting up the second magic array.

With the experience gained from the first trial, he was almost twice as fast when setting up the second magic array.

After the magic array was completed, Fang Heng sat on the edge of the stone wall to rest.

The next step would be to wait for the Mundt Gang to send over the energy to run the magic array and test the stability of the magic array.

According to his experience, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Counting the time, it was already dawn outside, right?

Fang Heng closed his eyes and tried to sense the game entrance in his body.

No way.

It still could not be opened.

The blue lines surrounding the entrance of the game showed no signs of weakening.

What a pity!

Fang Heng sighed in his heart.

If he could still enter and exit the game, he could just use the space warp backpack to move the energy crystals out.

But he couldn’t do it!

Under such circumstances, he couldn’t fall asleep, and he couldn’t enter the game either. However, he was still a little impatient.

With that in mind, Fang Heng simply sat on the spot and entered the second stage of the ‘lock’ cultivation mode.

There was a benefit to the second stage of ‘lock’, which was that he was sufficiently focused and immersed.

Immersed in cultivation, the disturbances of the outside world could naturally be blocked, allowing him to calm down.

After this period of cultivation, a trace of his spiritual power had already appeared in the channel that was constantly flowing through his body.

Every time he successfully circulated his spiritual energy, the trajectory would slightly deepen.

He did not know when it would end.

According to the instructor, it was a huge project to completely solidify the spiritual power channel and form a spiritual power network. It would take a long time to cultivate hard.

It could be a year. It could also be ten years.

Fang Heng felt that he was already very familiar with it. He could now use his spiritual power to quickly flow through his body.

Take it slow.

He didn’t know how long he had been cultivating for, but when Fang Heng felt his mind completely calm down, he opened his eyes.

“Phew, Brother Fang Heng, you’re finally awake. I thought you were possessed.”

Aktu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Heng had woken up.

When he came to find Fang Heng earlier, he was shocked when he saw Fang Heng cultivating in the cave.

He felt as if he had seen a ghost.

How could he persist in cultivating in such an environment?

This kind of self-discipline was a little exaggerated.

Originally, Aktu had planned to wait for Fang Heng to finish his cultivation before speaking to him. Thus, he sat at the side and waited.

Unexpectedly, he waited for more than four hours!

He even suspected that Fang Heng had met with an accident during his cultivation.

It was only because he gazed normal on the outside that he did not forcefully interrupt.

Fang Heng explained while waving his hand, “I’m fine. There’s still a long time before I break through. It can help me stay focused during cultivation and calm down very quickly,”

Aktu stared blankly at Fang Heng, blinking his eyes. He didn’t understand what Fang Heng was saying

“Brother Fang Heng, were you cultivating to break through the ‘lock’ just now?” asked Aktu after a moment of hesitation.

“Yes, indeed.”

Fang Heng’s body felt stiff after four hours of maintaining the same movement. He stood up and stretched his stiff body. He looked at Aktu and asked, “Have you broken through Tier 2 of ‘lock’?”

“Yes, ever since I entered the game, I’ve been following Big Brother to break through the ‘lock’. Three years ago, I’ve previously broken through Tier 3 of ‘lock’.”

Aktu gazed at Fang Heng and hesitated for a moment, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Aktu, what’s wrong? Is there a problem outside again?”

“Ah, that’s not it. It’s just…”

Aktu thought for a while and said seriously, “Brother Fang Heng, to be honest, cultivation is a little personal. But, your cultivation method seems a little special?”

“Special? What do you mean?” Fang Heng was confused by Aktu’s question.

“I didn’t see wrongly. You should have been cultivating to break through Tier 2 of ‘lock’, right?”

“Yes.”

“That’s strange. Brother Fang Heng, why have you been going around in circles at the first stage and not going through the second stage of cultivation? Is there any special method to break through the ‘lock’?”

“Hmm?”

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Aktu’s question.

He vaguely realized that something was wrong.

Fang Heng explained with a frown, “The instructor told me that I haven’t completed the first stage of cultivation yet. I can’t carry out the second step of cultivation for the time being,”

“Ah?”

Aktu gazed at Fang Heng with an even stranger gaze and said carefully, “Fang Heng, this…”

“Aktu, you and I are friends. If you have any questions, just say it. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Aktu relaxed a lot and said, “I want to ask your master where he got the method to break through Tier 2 of ‘lock’.”

“From the Federation.”

“The Federation?!”

Aktu was even more puzzled after hearing it.
