Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"Indeed, a Heretic God Follower, the stench is quite obvious."

The robed elder nodded, casually signed his name on a form, and then turned to look at Tao Yu. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Young man, is it you who discovered this? Not bad at all; you can even distinguish Heretic God Followers. Have you encountered them before?"

The robed elder watched Tao Yu with a hint of a relaxed smile.

Yet, Tao Yu faintly sensed Spirit Perception alerting him that he was being guarded against.

But the feeling was very faint, likely interference from the other party’s overpoweringly robust spiritual power, which caused a shiver to run through Tao Yu’s heart.

Indeed, ’Spirit Perception’ wasn’t infallible.

If it weren’t for the multiple layers of his ’Spirit Perception,’ plus the high quality of his spiritual power, he probably wouldn’t have noticed!

"I have."

"Oh? Where did you see them?"

The robed elder’s face held a trace of genuine interest, seemingly just curious.

"That should be irrelevant to today’s matter. I’ve reported a Heretic God Follower; I don’t wish to be harassed."

Tao Yu did not follow the other’s lead.

The robed elder did not linger on this issue but instead turned it around and continued to ask,

"Then may I ask who is your mentor? Us old folks tend to have connections among ourselves, you see. Without our passage of the Meditation Technique, one cannot self-learn to achieve proficiency. I need to eliminate some risks."

The robed elder’s tone became somewhat neutral, hinting at a certain inquisitiveness.

Seeing the situation, a staff member hurriedly said to Tao Yu,

"This is our Meditation Master, Master Wang."

The robed elder heard what the staff member said and chuckled lightly,

"Needing a reminder to recognize me, naturally, I have my doubts. Those guys’ disciples wouldn’t be so rude, plus, I felt a bit earlier, very vibrant, very young."

The robed elder spoke with confidence.

Tao Yu was beginning to understand why he was suddenly fixated on such matters—it was because Tao Yu had blocked his observation with spiritual power before.

Speaking of the sheer robustness of spirit, Tao Yu couldn’t quite match the other party.

But if it came to the purity of spiritual power, he had intrigued the young heiress with such playful banter before.

Had the other party discovered he was being blocked?

Nevertheless, sweeping around like that from the get-go was indeed too rude; not even the young heiress and others would do that.

"Is Master Wang trying to unearth my identity to facilitate revenge by the Heretic God Followers? If so, then I will have to resort to certain measures to protect myself."

Tao Yu spoke evenly, neither rushed nor dragging.

At his words, the short middle-aged man who had followed Master Wang in and had not spoken up until now widened his eyes and rebuked,

"Audacious! Do you intend to threaten Master Wang?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and assumed the stance of the Thunder Run hand technique; his muscles bulged, and his clothes instantly puffed out, only not tearing due to the special fabric.

However, no sooner had his words fallen than a palm began to loom larger before his eyes, and it clasped onto his face.

The terrifying speed and the wind pressure deforming his face made him exhale sharply, releasing a layer of Gang Qi from his body.

But to his dismay, he found his Gang Qi as brittle as paper, effortlessly torn apart by the other party’s more domineering Gang Qi!

A simple shake of the hand gripping his head generated such rapid vibrations that his brain seemed to scatter, leaving him dizzy and weak throughout his body in an instant.

Master Wang, who was beside him, also faced the same plight.

Master Wang, highly skilled in spiritual cultivation, didn’t just wait for his demise but quickly muttered under his breath.

His eyes seemed to emit a glow, and Tao Yu could feel several sharp Spirit Stingers rushing towards his mind.

Tao Yu didn’t wait for ’Mental Immunity’ to activate but proactively used his own sturdy spiritual force to block them, intercepting them effortlessly, merely causing a faint ripple before entirely stopping the assault.

Then, his palm also clasped onto Master Wang’s head and gave it a shake.

The body of Master Wang, not as physically robust as the short man beside him, immediately went limp like a dead fish, devoid of any strength to resist.

Tao Yu lifted both of their heads, holding them like two pieces of hung cured meat, their bodies utterly slack.

"Can’t understand plain talk, eh?"

Tao Yu shook the two of them again.

The two, whose brains felt almost shaken apart, were now bitterly regretful.

What on earth had they come upon? This was far too disrespectful of the rules, wasn’t it?

The staff in the office behind them all changed their expressions, too.

The one who had received Tao Yu hurried to persuade,

"Sir, please calm down, calm down. Master Wang is an important talent, and you will have to take responsibility for this."

"He’s an important talent, but am I not? He wanted to let heretics harm me before!"

Tao Yu didn’t really mean to kill him, but he still lashed out with what seemed like symptoms of a persecution complex.

"Lit-, little brother, let go first..."

Master Wang, who was being held by the forehead and lifted into the air by Tao Yu, felt like his skull was about to be crushed by the grip.

At this point, he could only plead softly.

"I, I’ll explain to you... This Meditation Technique was transmitted under restrictions because I didn’t know you..."

"What? Does the Meditation Technique taught personally by the big shots from Floating City still need to be reported to you?"

"No need, no need, I believe you... Really, my head is going to explode; can you put me down first..."

Master Wang feared that any harsh words might further provoke Tao Yu. While enduring the pain, he whispered gently.

"If you were this gentle from the start, wouldn’t that have been fine? Can’t you speak nicely? What do you mean by interrogating someone like they’re a criminal?"

Tao Yu still hadn’t let go, and he shook him a few more times. Even someone with Master Wang’s spiritual cultivation felt like he was about to roll his eyes back in his head.

"I, it’s all my fault..."

"If not you, then who? Me?"

"I, I will compensate with money..."

Tao Yu let go, and Master Wang immediately dropped to the floor. His legs went soft, and he was about to fall, but Tao Yu reached out to catch him,

"Elderly sir, be careful not to fall."

Tao Yu was all smiles as he helped Master Wang to his feet, ignoring the other dwarf who was still playing dead to the side.

He even straightened the wrinkles on Master Wang’s nightgown.

This made Master Wang’s expression turn bitter.

"Capturing an important follower of the Heretic God will definitely unearth many clues. I think we can add a bit more on top of the original reward."

"Oh? How much more?"

The hand Tao Yu was using to straighten the other’s collar didn’t move away; instead, he tightened his grip on the nightgown, causing Master Wang to feel an extra sense of strangulation.

"Thirty thousand! That’s the highest I can authorize. Any higher would require a report."

Tao Yu quickly calculated in his mind; he was expecting maybe ten to twenty thousand, so getting as much as thirty thousand wasn’t bad at all.

"Master Wang, you’ve worked hard and done a great service, coming out so late and not even getting proper rest..."

Tao Yu showed a trace of appreciation.

Seeing that Tao Yu had stopped ruffling his feathers, Master Wang carefully asked,

"That Meditation Technique really does have rules. Could you please disclose who taught you? It’s not that I want to make things difficult for you now, I was just wrong in my attitude before."

Indeed, having been smoothed over and holding benefits in hand, Tao Yu didn’t mind clarifying because it wasn’t something to be hidden. He told him right away,

"It was Miss Sun Shiyu."

"I see, I was being presumptuous before."

After that, he went over to the dwarf who was still laying on the ground and kicked him.

"What are you playing dead for? Was all the time I spent cultivating my mental power for nothing? Get up, aren’t you going to take me home?"

The dwarf who had been playing dead on the ground flipped over with a carp jump, not daring to look at Tao Yu.

"Then, respected elder, I will be going back first. They will take care of the rest."

"Hold on a second."

Tao Yu gestured with his hand,

"That mental attack you used on me, I’m quite interested in it. Where do you live? I might come by to seek your guidance when I’m free."

The words from Tao Yu made Master Wang’s expression turn bitter.

Dammit, that’s a huge loss!

Feels like I’ve been entangled by something filthy...
