The Water Star was still undergoing a peaceful post-war recovery. The Northern Hemisphere was now largely at pre-war infrastructure, and in terms of other high-end equipment, it was even better than it had been before the war.
After Xia Mang's speech, there were a lot of media who wanted to interview him, but none of them could find his real self.
Thus, he could only look for the next best thing to do, which was to find his parents.
But by the time he got to Heaven Cloud Kingdom's Capitol Hill, he found out that his parents had also left for Origin City.
The news once more spread to Origin City.
A bunch of media reporters began a blanket search of the city.
Of course, the answer would be certain death.
In the end, the desperate media could only find the principal of Yuan Cheng University, Jiang Xueshu, and ask his opinion on Xia Mang's speech.
The latter praised him endlessly, "Although this is the first time Xia Mang is giving a speech, but without question, his performance has an effect that is extremely shocking. I believe that everyone can understand this from the videos."
"Our students' reactions in the video were definitely true and not the least bit fake, and from the social media, we can see that Xia Mang's words had reached the hearts of the spectators."
"He was a born orator."
"Then may I ask what your evaluation of Spiritual Master Xia Mang was when you saw him?"
a reporter asked.
Jiang Xueshu replied: "Very outstanding. I'm not praising him on this point, his thoughts are very mature. He has his own unique views and opinions on some issues. He's a very good young man."
All sorts of legends about Xia Mang quickly spread through the martial arts world.
As for the person in question, after knowing about the wave on the social networking platform, he chose to return to the Heaven Cloud Kingdom's Capitol Hill in a low-key manner. Liu Sanxiao arranged a room for Dongfang Lingfeng alone.
The latter would temporarily train alone using the medicine provided by Xia Mang.
Xia Mang then drove to the new Anhuang First Middle School.
Although this Anhuang First Middle School's name was still the same as before, a new batch of leaders had led a different group.
The only thing that was different was the preparation of the school and its name.
When Xia Mang arrived at the entrance of the school, he saw that there was still a portrait of him and a series of famous school friends that had walked out from No. 1 High School.
This may be one of the few places in sight that feels familiar.
The gate was very quiet.
It was class time now, and the students were nowhere to be seen. A few security guards and robot guards were sitting in the sentry box, idly chatting.
Xia Mang had learned his lesson and didn't want to get into too much trouble with the guards. Thus, he activated his movement technique and climbed over the wall.
His speed was so fast that no one noticed him.
Entering the school area successfully.
The general pattern was still similar.
Only the road and the building's functions had undergone some changes. While Xia Mang was admiring the land that he had once stayed in, he according to his memories, arrived at the original location of the library.
The library was still that same one with a magnificent appearance and numerous books. After all, in this sort of place that required a huge amount of space, it was not easy to find other buildings to house them.
He walked straight in.
There were very few students and teachers who were reading.
It was normal for them to be in class now.
"Professor Qin."
Xia Mang shouted, and immediately after, he heard a familiar and aged voice saying: "Old place, come in yourself."
Being startled by the voice, Xia Mang thought that this old fellow's methods were getting more and more sneaky. He hadn't even seen the figure of a person, and the voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Professor Qin, I'm here."
Xia Mang found Qin Minghua's office based on his memories, but the old man was currently cutting his toenails with his legs crossed, looking like a sloppy-looking old man. It was difficult to connect him to the high status of the Water Star's Guardian God.
Thinking about it, Xu Zhengrong and the others would never have thought that Qin Minghua would have such an identity and such a face, living in seclusion in the library in such a normal school.
"Kid, have you really reached the third realm?"
Qin Minghua raised his head and went straight to the point.
Xia Mang nodded seriously, "Yes, students have specifically gone to the Hall of Honor in Origin to test the environment. They have indeed been able to maintain their circulation in a vacuum environment."
"How long can it last?"
Qin Minghua continued to cut his nails.
This caused Xia Mang to be stunned. He stared blankly for a long while before asking without confidence: "Does this have an impact?"
"Bullshit."
Qin Minghua berated him: "It seems like you only have to stay in space for ten minutes to return to the surface to replenish your oxygen? Where did all this oxygen come from? "
"But, I'm only going to receive the lightning tempering. That place can at most be considered as a place where the oxygen is sparse …"
Xia Mang felt slightly wronged.
After Qin Minghua heard this, he did not say anything for a long time. After he had finished cutting off the toenails, he then casually put down the nail clipper and lazily lifted his eyes, "Oh, okay, I was distracted."
Xia Mang almost fell to the ground and thought, could you speak properly?
It had to be said that every time he spoke to Qin Minghua, he had to be mentally prepared for anything bad to happen, because if this old man didn't want to chat with you for a bit, he wouldn't get straight to the point.
"Are you really going this way?"
Qin Minghua asked.
Xia Mang immediately nodded, "As long as the current bottleneck can be removed, I am willing to pay a price for it."
"Kid, do you know why I let you reach the third realm?"
Qin Minghua said in a serious tone, "You think I'm joking with you, but in reality, your body is extremely tough, and cannot withstand the lightning strikes."
"Even if you are a thunder control esper."
When Xia Mang heard this, he asked, "But what does this have to do with the Breath of the Body?"
Qin Minghua scoffed, "With your current level, if you were to be struck by lightning, and have a complete circuit through your tendons and bones, you might be able to hold on for a period of time and not die. But during this period of time, your brain's function and cell's function will be severely affected, causing you to suffocate."
"However, because of your good luck, reaching the primitive fetal respiration realm, the possibility of this is very small."
The human body is very complicated, and the primitive fetal respiration is even more complicated. Furthermore, when lightning is produced, a large amount of oxygen will be converted into ozone, so these things will be harmful to the human body. "
"So you will enter a state that is close to a vacuum."
"Moreover, using nature's power to temper the human body is originally a crazy act. Of course, there is a need to polish all aspects of one's ability to the optimal extent."
Hearing this, Xia Mang could not help but feel panic, "Then teacher, what do I need to pay attention to?"
"It's very simple. During the process of lightning and thunder penetrating your body, you have to try your best to keep your subjective consciousness clear. No, that's not the case. You have to keep it as long as possible."
Qin Minghua said, "Maintaining one's consciousness is to prevent the realms of primitive fetal respiration from temporarily losing their function because of extreme circumstances."
"Also, you have to be prepared to take the life repair drug at any time. This time, I suggest you use all of your free money to buy the cell repair fluid as well as the life potion."
"After that, clear out all the weapons and give the virtual space enough space. When that happens, you just need to drive that vehicle given by the military to the thundercloud."
After Qin Minghua said this, he picked up a piece of paper in front of him and looked at it, "I think there will be a thunderstorm in two weeks, prepare yourself."
Hearing this, Xia Mang had a rough understanding of the situation, but he did not know the answer, "Then teacher, if I feel like I can't hold on anymore, or if I lose my consciousness, how do I escape?"
Hearing that, Qin Minghua took a sip of the tea: "I will leave everything to fate, everything is risky, if my fate really does not come, I will die, what else can I do."
"Ugh …"
Xia Mang could not help but become speechless, "Alright."
"As for whether you want to go or not, you have to think about it carefully. Alright, this is something laozi prepared for you, and there is a corresponding explanation in it. Take it and get out of laozi's sight, don't disturb laozi's rest."
Qin Minghua used his leg to kick a broken leather trunk in front of him, puckering his lips, he closed his eyes and no longer said a word.
Xia Mang knew his way of doing things, so he picked up the chest and bowed: "Thank you teacher, then the student will leave first."
As he expected, there was no response from Qin Minghua.
Then he pushed the door open and left, closing it quietly behind him.
Seeing that the person had left, Qin Minghua opened one of his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised upwards, "Foolish brat, how could I possibly see you die?"
"It wasn't easy to find such good seedlings. You've already painstakingly cultivated them, yet you say that they're gone?" Isn't this a joke? "
With that, he closed his eyes and smiled.
The pure Xia Mang naturally did not understand the old man's words and thoughts. What he had was only his concern for the heavenly thunder body tempering s that would follow him.
"Should I go or not?"
"If I die, what should I do with my parents and Liu Xueqing?"
"I have to admit defeat before we even start, this is impossible. If we keep going at this speed, I might not even be able to reach the limit of my race even if I were in my thirties. Life is only so short, I still want to see the sky, take my parents and Xue Qing with me …"
"I have to work harder."
Xia Mang gradually turned his thoughts back to the right path, and threw all his fears into the opposite direction. He thought of the speech that he had made previously.
Why are you so hesitant when facing this problem?
Wasn't he slapping himself in the face?
"Hmph, it's done!"
Xia Mang clenched his teeth and said.
He was well aware of the fact that crisis and opportunity coexisted together.
Usually, the more difficult a path was, the more precious the treasure was hidden within …
