I Can Extract Divine Power

When he first arrived, they thought Shen Bai was just there to burnish his reputation before moving on.

But after Shen Bai accomplished one thing after another, their attitude toward him changed completely.

He wasn’t here just for show; he was genuinely here to get things done for Nanxing Prefecture.

Jianghu People are naturally bold and straightforward. Moreover, most members of the Observatory had worked their way up from the rank of constable, so of course they would respect a superior like Shen Bai who actually accomplished things.

It was worth mentioning that the mine had been fully excavated by Dongfang Li.

The mine contained many rare ores, which had brought a festive atmosphere to Nanxing Prefecture recently.

This mine would greatly improve the livelihood of the people in Nanxing Prefecture, a positive development in every respect.

The whole of Nanxing Prefecture was bustling with life and prosperity, yet our protagonist, Shen Bai, remained in his five-story building.

If not for all the major feats Shen Bai had recently accomplished, the people of the Jianghu might have thought he had already left the Nanxing Prefecture Observatory.

"Lord Shen, I’ve left breakfast outside the door. You can get it whenever you’re ready to eat."

Fang Tong knocked on the door, placed the food on the table outside, and then turned and left without another word.

Lately, Shen Bai had rarely even stepped out his door.

Fang Tong himself had carried out several missions with Shen Bai, so Zheng Xing had arranged for him to be in charge of delivering all of Shen Bai’s meals.

Fang Tong was, of course, happy to do it.

Being able to deliver meals to Lord Shen was considered an honor in the Nanxing Prefecture Observatory.

He still remembered the envious looks the other members gave him when Zheng Xing assigned him this task.

’I don’t know what Lord Shen is working on, but it must be important,’ Fang Tong thought to himself.

’Even if Lord Shen is just sleeping, he’s probably working on some important plan in his dreams.’

His admiration for Shen Bai was bordering on irrational worship.

In fact, pretty much everyone who had ever interacted with Shen Bai was the same.

Inside the room, Shen Bai heard Fang Tong’s voice but didn’t reply. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the smoke in front of him.

The smoke gradually condensed, forming new words that floated in midair.

[Divine Thousand Miles Level 6 (Speed +32, Endurance +32, Evasion +32, Burst Charge +32, Flying +32, Instant Teleportation +32): 0/20000]

Once the smoke appeared and formed the words, it immediately shattered, turning into streams of Information that drilled into Shen Bai’s mind.

Shen Bai immediately felt the scenery around him begin to blur.

He knew he was about to enter that familiar Space and see that incredibly familiar phantom again, so he didn’t find it strange at all, his expression perfectly calm.

Shen Bai even felt like pouring a cup of tea and taking a sip.

Fortunately, he didn’t.

After the smoke before him gradually dissipated, the blurry scenery came into focus.

Shen Bai found that this time, he had appeared in a special Space.

It was no longer a plain, nor the surface of the sea, and certainly not a high mountain. Instead, he was high above in a vast blue sky.

In the blue sky, the phantom stood suspended in midair, its hands clasped behind its back.

At that moment, a fierce wind howled, causing the phantom’s clothes to whip about, giving it a somewhat celestial and ethereal air.

All around were the azure sky and white clouds. On one of those clouds, a powerful and terrifying aberration was spread across its surface.

The aberration looked no different from a human; it was even more handsome than an ordinary person.

But its eyes were a solid crimson, like fresh blood, inspiring fear in all who saw them.

Its blood-red eyes shone with endless malice as it stared directly at the phantom, as if wanting to slaughter it completely, making no effort to hide its violent aura.

’Is it time for another fight? This time, it’s using Divine Thousand Miles.’

Shen Bai looked around and found that he, too, was standing thousands of feet up in the sky.

Unfortunately, there were no peanuts and melon seeds, let alone fine wine. Otherwise, he felt that enjoying the scene with a drink in hand would be a wonderful affair.

As Shen Bai was thinking this, the phantom finally began to move.

The phantom raised its hand and pressed it toward the terrifying aberration.

As its palm pushed forward, massive white clouds gathered before it, compressing continuously to form a giant, sky-blotting hand that struck directly at the humanoid aberration.

But in the next instant, the humanoid aberration vanished without a trace.

The massive cloud hand missed its target, plummeting to the ground below and utterly annihilating everything on the surface.

A moment later, the humanoid aberration flickered back into existence, now right in front of the phantom. Its speed was so fast that not even Shen Bai could track it.

’Such incredible Speed. If I were to face it, I wouldn’t be able to keep up at all,’ Shen Bai thought.

As he was thinking this, the aberration had already launched its attack against the phantom.

The terrifying attack, accompanied by a despair-inducing, chilling aura, completely enveloped the phantom.

From any angle, Shen Bai could see that the phantom now had no room to escape.

The aberration’s attacks were too numerous; they had sealed off every possible escape route around the phantom.

To get away, it would first have to neutralize the attacks.

But an attack this terrifying couldn’t be neutralized in an instant.

And while trying to neutralize it, the phantom would face a subsequent, relentless barrage.

’How is it going to escape?’

Shen Bai stroked his chin, wondering to himself.
