Chapter Ninety-Six: Teleportation

There are two cultivation systems in this world: Spiritual Mind Masters and Warriors.

Before reaching the planetary level, all warriors are considered apprentices. Whether they are fighters, war generals, or war gods, they are, in essence, apprentices; only upon attaining the planetary level are they truly regarded as warriors. The breakthrough from apprentice to planetary level is a genuine transformation, an elevation from the very essence.

Especially after the formation of the micro-planet, the feedback of golden genetic source energy is something rooted in the core of each person’s life. When one steps into the planetary level, this is awakened, leading to a complete refinement of the body and the emergence of unique attributes belonging to oneself.

This change is even more intense.

Qin Ming felt his bones shatter and reassemble, muscles rupture and renew, bone marrow rapidly metamorphose, organs strengthen by orders of magnitude. His entire body, inside and out, seemed to have been forged in the furnace of the Eight Trigrams.

Beneath his skin, on his bones, within his muscles, intricate patterns appeared, spreading like dense roots to every part of his body, finally sinking into obscurity.

The process lasted a full half hour before it ended.

“Hoo...!”

Qin Ming exhaled a turbid breath.

“That feeling... it was as if I died!”

The pain was excruciating, reaching into his very marrow.

Fortunately, his will was resolute; otherwise, he might have fainted.

“This kind of advancement?”

Qin Ming stood up, clenched his fists, and felt terrifying power surging within him. He flipped his palm, and genetic source energy flowed out.

With a thought, his feet left the ground—he hovered in the air.

This was not the floating step, but true levitation.

The hallmark of planetary level is flight.

At this stage, a micro-star is condensed within the body, spinning ceaselessly, forming a unique magnetic field that repels the Earth’s magnetic field, naturally enabling flight.

Adjusting the magnetic field, one can change direction.

“So, what is the special ability I’ve awakened?”

Qin Ming pondered, circulating genetic source energy. Patterns appeared beneath his skin. With a thought, he vanished, reappearing in a corner of the room.

His figure appeared and disappeared repeatedly, without disturbing the air; he simply vanished and appeared.

“Teleportation!”

Qin Ming’s lips curled into a smile that quickly broadened, nearly bursting into laughter.

He could not be mistaken.

After awakening this ability, his body melded with space. Within his sensing range, he could move freely—from one point to another, without wasting even a fraction of time.

This surpassed every other speed!

After showering, he walked out and activated his communicator, which immediately displayed several notifications.

Qin Ming dialed out, and the other side answered at once, laughing, “Uncle Yang, did you need something?”

“Did you close yourself off again?” Yang Hui’s voice was gentle.

“Yes, spent some time in contemplation.”

“A genius like you working so hard makes me sweat in shame!” Yang Hui sighed, then continued, “I’m asking you something on someone else’s behalf. Let me be clear—I only promised to ask. If you can answer, do so; if not, don’t force yourself.”

“It’s Li Yao, isn’t it?”

“That’s him!”

“Uncle Yang, just tell him I don’t know.”

“Alright!” Yang Hui breathed a sigh of relief. “Favors are always troublesome. Well, I’ll stop bothering you. Someday, I’ll come to mooch some wine from you!”

“Hahaha, then I’ll prepare ahead of time!”

After a few exchanges, he hung up.

Soon after, his watch rang.

This time, it was Zhou Zhengyong.

“Inspector, I was asked to inquire about something!” Zhou Zhengyong got straight to the point; he too was an old hand. “For the sake of courtesy, I’m only asking.”

“Li Yao?”

“That’s right! Whether at home or abroad, he’s powerful. It’s impossible to avoid him!”

“Then just tell him I know who killed his son, but I won’t tell him!”

“Alright, I’ll relay that immediately!”

Zhou Zhengyong heard the anger in Qin Ming’s tone and quickly agreed, said a few kind words, and hung up. “That Inspector Qin has quite the temper.”

“Young men are inevitably fiery!” said Zhuge Tao, smiling beside him. “Besides, the Inspector isn’t even nineteen yet—he’s the world’s richest man, an invincible war god. If it were anyone else, their temper might be even worse.”

Zhou Zhengyong nodded. “Now, the show begins! Li Yao is arrogant and loves his son dearly. Who knows how he offended the Inspector? Let’s imagine what’s coming next!”

“Will the Inspector suffer?”

“Do you think he will?”

“Certainly not! With his floating step and accumulated reputation, how far has he ascended? Besides, our Extreme Martial Hall would never let him be bullied, not to mention his own terrifying strength.”

“Exactly! I’ll pass the word to Li Yao now. That guy, known as the Vulture, is nothing good. We must never associate with him again!”

Elsewhere, in the Li family villa—

“He knows, but won’t tell me?” Li Yao was furious.

This was an outright slap in the face.

Li Yao, a high-level war god with immense power, had never suffered such humiliation.

“Qin Ming, does he really think being an invincible war god allows him to be so arrogant?” Li Yao gritted his teeth. “Could he be the one who killed my son?”

The Scorpion, Venina, was calmer: “If he won’t say, find someone he can’t resist to force him, and set a bounty!”

“Fine, let’s start with a hundred billion!” Li Yao drew a deep breath. “Who should we ask? At home... those few certainly won’t help. Better to go with him!”

“Senator Yan Hai?”

“He’s the only one who can truly help us,” Li Yao replied. “You post the bounty—I’ll fly to Europe and pay him a visit myself.”

Mingyue District.

After hanging up, Qin Ming shook his head. “This won’t last more than a year!”

He soon put the matter out of his mind.

As night fell, Qin Ming left Yangzhou and entered a woodland, his figure flashing rapidly. In the span of a breath, the small forest was filled with his images.

It wasn’t clones, nor avatars.

It was simply that his teleportation was so fast that the shadows lingered in the eye while he appeared elsewhere, creating this wondrous scene.

Finally, he stopped.

Qin Ming closed his eyes, stretched out his arms, and sensed the surroundings: “I am now planetary level one. The range of my teleportation is a radius of one kilometer centered on myself.”

“Within a kilometer, I can instantly reach any location!”

“This feeling...!”

“Space seems to have become a strange existence, something I can touch. Wherever my mind goes, my body follows!”

“Amazing!”

“The method of teleportation... It seems that even Babata’s old master, who cultivated spatial secret techniques and reached the immortal realm, never comprehended the teleportation divine ability! Yet I awakened it at planetary level. If he were resurrected, he might die of anger!”

“The teleportation divine ability shouldn’t exist on Earth. Could it be a mutation caused by my traversing two worlds?”

Qin Ming speculated.

He was unaware that at this moment, a hundred billion bounty had already been posted on the Alliance network. In less than half an hour, nearly every warrior knew.

A hundred billion—what incredible wealth!

Even senators would not ignore it.

Luo Feng, who had returned home, saw this and his face turned pale. “A hundred billion? A hundred billion! Who could resist such temptation? What if someone saw me back then? My teammates didn’t go with me, but they know I’m a Spiritual Mind Master. What if...?”

He clenched his fists and began considering countermeasures. Ultimately, he couldn’t think of any good solution and could only let things take their course. On another front, he dove into frenzied cultivation.
