Chen Shouyi picked up a book called the Heart Sutra.

In Sanskrit, "Prajna" means wisdom.

When Chen Shouyi opened it, he realized it was a Buddhist scripture, but fortunately, there were annotations at the back.

With an intelligence of 15.7, he could skim ten lines at a glance, memorizing each page almost instantly, and reversing fluently. Within a few minutes, he finished reading the entire book.

It discussed the philosophical mindset of Buddhist teachings, breaking the attachment to the desires of ordinary people, advocating a saintly state of unattachment, which left Chen Shouyi feeling completely befuddled and confused.

What's the difference between lack of desire and vegetation?

He's still planning to get married and have kids!

And how does this relate to wisdom?

Chen Shouyi thought to himself, soon tossing the book aside.

The following books on traditional cultivation methods from various countries were mostly misleading, falling into the domain of religious philosophy rather than relating to the brain at all.

Only modern Martial Arts writings mentioned some relevant topics.

But even these were mostly theoretical, speculative, and conjectural, primarily approached from a biological perspective, without any established cultivation techniques.

Hours later, he finished all thirty books borrowed from the library.

The result was fruitless.

Chen Shouyi found that the scientific community leaned more towards researching specific drugs to stimulate brain intelligence improvement rather than through cultivation.

Perhaps this was more likely to succeed in comparison.

After all, there were already tangible samples, like Divine Blood and Divine Marrow!

As long as the effective components could be synthesized, immediate effects could be produced.

As for brain cultivation, there's simply no starting point.

"It seems the brain truly is humanity's forbidden zone." Chen Shouyi stood up, walked around a few times, pondering deeply.

However, he wasn't ready to give up, having only read thirty books, which was merely less than one percent of the entire collection.

He couldn't believe that after reading all the books, he would still find no breakthrough.

...

After a peaceful day, Chen Shouyi received another mission.

"The helicopter is ready!" Bai Xiaoling said, "Stay safe!"

Chen Shouyi nodded, grabbed his bow bag and a bag of luggage, and left the room.

Several minutes later, a helicopter on the rooftop of a nearby building took off, quickly flying towards the distance.

The military helicopter generated a buzzing noise, accompanied by intense vibrations.

The experience was quite uncomfortable.

Chen Shouyi sat in his seat, gazing out the window.

In the distance, two giant craters were visible, with the inside and the surroundings filled with a glass-like black substance.

Undoubtedly, these were nuclear explosion craters.

Though the nuclear explosion occurred only two days ago, there were already dozens of excavators at the site, and a large number of workers in nuclear suits could be seen busy all around.

Chen Shouyi silently estimated, noticing the craters were about half a kilometer apart.

Clearly, the first nuclear bomb didn't kill the Barbarian God entirely, allowing It to escape but it should have been severely injured, greatly affecting Its movements.

The second bomb was what truly killed It.

At the instant of the nuclear explosion, the temperature inside could reach tens of millions, or even billions of degrees Celsius. In such horrifying heat, everything in the world becomes plasma.

No matter how strong an otherworldly Barbarian God may be, faced with such destructive force, It would likely be vaporized instantly.

"Chief Advisor, we are counting on you for Pingzhou City this time," a colonel accompanying him forced a faint smile on his somber face.

He came from the garrison troops of Pingzhou City. Although the war was brief, its intensity was astounding, completely crippling their troops within days, causing severe casualties. His visit to the provincial capital was to request assistance from high-level martial artists.

Despite the Barbarian God's death, numerous barbarians were still roaming the city.

Now, a large number of troops had been dispatched to the Dongning Battlefield. Military strength was stretched thin across regions, with limited support, unable to amass tens of thousands of soldiers as easily as they did in Ningzhou for a ground assault.

Moreover, Pingzhou City still housed a significant number of civilians who hadn't managed to escape in time, and disregarding innocent civilian casualties to obliterate the city directly was not an option.

"I will do my best," Chen Shouyi withdrew his gaze, responding solemnly.

He checked his attribute panel.

Strength: 16.7

Agility: 17.6

Constitution: 16.7

Intelligence: 15.9

Perception: 14.2

Will: 15.9

Energy Accumulation: 6.56

After using the Divine Blood from the Divine Blood Soil yesterday, although the effect swiftly weakened, he still gained 0.2 intelligence and 0.1 strength.

"Now my strength... has already surpassed 1,500 kilograms." He clenched his fist tightly, the air around it vibrating slightly, becoming a blur.

...

The helicopter continued flying for over ten minutes, and it was now above Pingzhou City.

The entire city as far as the eye could see was ravaged, ruins scattered everywhere, with many helicopters hovering in the air. Occasionally, the thunderous sound of machine guns echoed, making the gunfire of the whole city roll like fireworks on New Year's Eve.

Chen Shouyi saw firsthand, not far away, a search helicopter flying through a gap between two buildings was suddenly hit heavily by an office desk that smashed through a building window.

The helicopter's wings instantly broke, the body tilted, crashing into the building opposite.

A few seconds later, with a loud explosion, a torrent of fire burst out, and the building began to burn fiercely.

Chen Shouyi pointed at the burning building and said softly, "Let's go there!"

"But, we haven't gone to the command post yet..." the major officer said instinctively.

"Going a little later won't be a problem, right?" Chen Shouyi turned and asked.

"No... no problem!" The major officer came to his senses and quickly replied.

Soon, the helicopter turned and headed toward that building.

"No need to land on the rooftop, just hover at about fifty to sixty meters above the building," Chen Shouyi said.

If they descended too low, they would be easily attacked.

"That high, is it okay?" The officer was somewhat surprised.

An ordinary person falling from such a height would likely splatter like mashed meat.

"It's fine!" Chen Shouyi replied.

A few minutes later, the helicopter hovered above the building's rooftop.

"Watch my luggage for me!" Before jumping off, Chen Shouyi reminded the officer.

After all, his treasure, the Shell Lady, was inside!

This mission wasn't going to be a one or two-day affair, it could well take up to ten days to half a month here.

He couldn't leave the Shell Lady unattended at home and feel at ease!

"Oh, okay, okay, no problem, I'll ensure your luggage is safe," the major, though confused as to how it could get lost here, still hurriedly promised.

Chen Shouyi said, then stood up and slid open the cabin door.

The strong wind blew his hair wildly, and he glanced at the rooftop below, then leaped down.

The wind roared, and within seconds, he rolled to disperse the force and stabilized himself.

Suddenly, he sensed something and looked towards the opposite building.

Behind one of the windows, a tall barbarian clad in animal skins was staring at him full of killing intent.

"Truly ignorant of death!" Chen Shouyi's eyes turned cold.

He stepped back several meters,

then accelerated, his body instantly turning into a blur.

The next moment, he pushed off powerfully with his foot, an invisible airwave blowing away the dust, the rooftop shaking violently, the ground beneath his feet creating a meter-wide hole, as his body shot like lightning toward the opposite building.

The murder in the Barbarian God's eyes hadn't completely dissipated when his face already showed horror.

As the rapidly enlarging figure came into view, he felt as if plunged into an icehouse, coming to his senses, he immediately turned and fled.

Yet after only a few steps!

With a crash, the building's tempered glass shattered into pieces.

Amidst the flying debris, a figure tore through the air, rapidly approaching the barbarian.

The barbarian felt the increasingly intense wind behind him, gritted his teeth, and roared explosively. His skin instantly flushed, his muscles swelling, countless veins bulging like earthworms.

A berserk strength emanated from his body.

As an equally ancient deity, the God of Hunting had high-end earthly power through Totem Warriors, while the God of Fury had Furious Warriors. Through implanting bloodline seeds and transforming the bloodline, they made the body stronger, and in critical moments, could undergo a frenzy, exploding with several times the usual combat power.

But the side effects were serious, rendering them completely unable to fight for several days.

Yet at this moment, he couldn't care about that.

This human was exceedingly terrifying,

not going berserk would surely mean death!

"Die!"

He prepared for a desperate fight.

But just as he stepped sideways, a figure swiftly brushed past him, the wind whipping his face.

He shuddered, his body stiffening in place, eyes wide open in anger.

The red in his eyes rapidly faded.

Then a thin line of blood quickly spread diagonally from his left neck to his lower abdomen.

His body wavered slightly, and half of it began to slide along the bloodline.

Chen Shouyi took a look, flicked his sword to shake off the blood, and sheathed it. With a few steps, he ran and jumped out of the window.
