Chapter 159: Chapter 158: Nonhuman · Observation · Stealing Celestial Secret

Meanwhile, in the surveillance room.

"That red light just now, it must be the demon’s detection method!"

"When fighting the flesh-and-blood giant, he didn’t use his full strength. He was multitasking, and perhaps most of his energy was used to find his ’gun’..."

"Within a hundred miles... searched it all? How much time has passed? Is he really human?"

President Huang suddenly stood up, pushing the chair back, and slammed the table.

Bam!

"Quick! Go rescue him!"

"Wu Di, that little rascal, is up to his antics again!"

If we don’t go support him soon, I’m afraid...

This time next year might be the anniversary of Wu Di’s death.

Not dying at the hands of the outer space invaders but rather at the hands of a teammate from Cangming Star, this little bastard is just being ridiculous!

Does this mean that every year when he goes to clear weeds from Wu Di’s grave, Old Huang should bring along the newcomers from the academy and recount Wu Di’s "heroic deeds" to prevent such a foolish death in the future?

"President, please don’t rush!"

"The situation has changed!"

Hearing this, Huang Weiguo quickly turned around, focusing his gaze on the screen, with a look of surprise on his face: "What is going on this time?"

He quickly got a response.

"The think tank has already provided an analysis..."

"There’s over a ninety percent chance that the demon is acting this way because of Wu Di’s physical features."

"There are seven specific possibilities, namely..."

Tap, tap, tap.

After listening to the think tank’s analysis, Old Huang felt like he’d heard nothing: "First arrange for a smart, perceptive, competent, and self-protective person to go over and adjust the atmosphere."

At this point, President Huang added one more condition: "Preferably someone younger!"

Unless it’s a heartless person, most people have a natural affection for all kinds of animal cubs.

Why are little kittens so adorable, and any related video easily exceeds ten thousand views?

It’s precisely because of this!

The staff member tilted their head, relayed the think tank’s suggestion: "It’s recommended to contact Ma Ran or Su Qiangwei, the demon values them far more than other academy members."

Old Huang looked at his nose and then at his heart, pretending not to hear.

Crazy!

How hard does Ma Ran work!

So many days and nights without rest, exhausting himself to complete the first phase of the Inner Qi promotion task, now it’s time for him to have a good rest for a while.

Now letting Ma Ran deal with someone like Zhang Kuang, how could I consider it?

Where would Huang Weiguo put his old face?

As for Su Qiangwei...

Hehe.

No explanation needed, those who understand, understand.

Sending her over there, who knows...

No!

Most likely, the situation would take a sharp turn, fast-forwarding directly to the "Double Star War" between Earth and Cangming.

Without Ma Ran overseeing, any rational decision-maker wouldn’t let Su Qiangwei handle any diplomatic affairs alone.

Thinking of this, Old Huang’s vision blacked out with anger.

He suddenly slapped the metal door, causing his palm to throb with pain, but he held back and said with a stern face: "I refuse to believe it! In such a large Grass Hut Academy, we can’t find a suitable diplomatic talent!"

...

When Wu Di spoke, he didn’t think it through, blurting it out subconsciously.

But after speaking, he immediately felt something was off.

An overwhelming black and red aura instantly filled the entire room!

A thick bloody smell mixed with a faint sulfur odor quickly spread throughout...

Terrible screams and painful wails echoed near his ears...

The red-haired, red-eyed young man in front of Wu Di suddenly appeared to transform into a sinister demon, with a human-like form but an obscured face.

He was going to die!

He would definitely die!

Wu Di felt his heart was gripped tightly by an invisible pair of hands, completely unable to beat and his breathing abruptly stalled.

He struggled desperately, trying to restore his heart to its normal functioning state, gasping for breath.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t control his body; not even a finger could move!

The shadow of death, like an unbanishable haze, slowly but inexorably sent him into an eternal slumber!

Just as Wu Di thought he was about to die this way, the scene before him suddenly changed!

The bloody stench dissipated, the screams abruptly stopped, and the demon’s shadow formed by black and red flames also vanished!

Everything returned to the previous setting.

Somehow, Zhang Kuang had opened a new bottle of wine and was drinking it by himself, seemingly not angry at all about the previous offense.

However, Wu Di was one hundred percent sure that everything he had just experienced was this person’s doing!

Speaking of which...

Wu Di was no fool; he had just experienced too little and was raised with his parents’ sickening indulgence style of education, which led to his current behavior and speaking style.

Now that he’d come to his senses, he realized a serious problem— even Earthlings aren’t all bound by laws and morals, let alone alien visitors.

How could the one who united a planet be a merciful person?

He shouldn’t have said those words earlier!

"Demon, I’m sorry, I spoke impulsively just now, I accept my punishment!"

Wu Di wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, breathing heavily as he said: "Someone like you could casually take my life; I should show you the same respect as I do Brother Ran."

Human potential is limitless.

In the face of a death crisis, as long as people don’t immediately collapse, most can experience significant growth.

In the ancient Chinese seeker circles, this was called "Stealing the Celestial Secret"— actively facing near-death challenges, and if you survive, you can unlock much of your potential.

At this moment, Wu Di felt his observational skills sharpened.

For example...

The moment he emerged from his deathly trance, Zhang Kuang’s gaze seemed to focus on his head.

The reason the demon didn’t kill him likely had something to do with his head.

"..."

His mind raced, and Wu Di quickly came to a conclusion.

It was the hair!

The answer was the color of his hair!

No doubt about it!

Considering their previous conversation, Wu Di thought, perhaps it’s because his black hair resembled Zhang Kuang before his solo interstellar journey to Earth.

Because of that, Zhang Kuang was reminded of a certain relative back on Cangming Star, and thus decided to spare him.

So...

Surviving this was truly a stroke of luck!

The demon placed the wine bottle on the table, looking at Wu Di with a faint smile: "Kid, what are you so afraid of?"

"Since you’ve sincerely apologized."

"I’m not unreasonable."

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The door was suddenly knocked on.
