Level Up in Martial World

"Hmm, it looks like an unknown power is stopping me from removing this, and this power is quite strange…" Lu Zhen thought as he looked at the red light with narrowed eyes.

"What should I do?" He thought with a frown on his face as his mind swirled with thoughts.

"Wait, I can do that." Lu Zhen suddenly had a brilliant idea in his mind, which made him nod his head with excitement as he looked at the dim red light with a sneer on his face.

"If I can't destroy it, I can isolate it until I get strong enough." Lu Zhen quickly typed, and the data of the entire red light was shown for him.

"Let's see, let's trap it with a firewall." His eyes glinted in reminiscence; his early coding days involved making firewalls as well. However, that took many months to create, and Lu Zhen didn't have that much time.

Neither could he construct a firewall in this world. He was just going to use the concept of it, with his more comprehensive mind and god-like speed in typing. He could come up with many things as quickly as possible.

Lu Zhen quickly typed a code to contain the entire red light in a protective layer while adding self-regeneration and such.

Swish!

The tearing sound of air being torn rang continuously as Lu Zhen's fingers broke the sound barrier effortlessly, with his mind working at full force with concentration.

If he didn't have the upgraded consciousness, which basically made him a superhuman, he would never be able to achieve such speed in coding in machine-level language and directly communicating and instructing each component while combining them in a tedious task.

In his previous life, not to mention the speed of the ideas that came naturally to his mind, he could never compare it to a normal human's comprehension.

It felt like he had become omniscient.

Lu Zhen typed for one last time and then entered all the instructions.

The buzzing sound of the machines rang in the room like an alarm, causing him to frown.

"I wonder if these machines can handle the instructions or not." These machines were built for a small processing power because there was very little time, and the code he launched needed a terrifying computing power, which worried Lu Zhen greatly.

The buzzing sound of the machines started to increase as time passed, and even smoke started to emerge from them. However, to Lu Zhen's relief, the capsule started to function despite its difficulty and rotated at a terrifying speed.

Before he knew it, a blinding grey light flashed in the capsule, prompting him to close his eyes.

Lu Zhen's eyes slowly adapted to the blinding grey light as he looked around. There was still black smoke coming out from the machinery; however, the blue ball inside the capsule started to float.

He hurriedly looked at the screen of his mobile and noticed the brown light, causing him to frown.

"I hope this works." Lu Zhen could only cross his fingers and grit at the results.

The grey light soon died down, and the dim red light appeared on the screen. However, this time, it was the red light that seemed to be submerged in a grey colour, as thin films fully covered the entire part of the red light.

Lu Zhen smiled at this "success."

Suddenly, his nose twitched as he looked around to see fire burning in each and every piece of machinery.

Lu Zhen hurriedly walked up to the capsule and took out the blue ball as it shined.

Without a shred of hesitation, he put the blue ball right next to his head and closed his eyes.

Ching!

The blue ball floated in mid-air and passed through Lu Zhen's head like a ghost directly. Its size decreased, and it rested in an unknown place in his brain.

Lu Zhen opened his crimson eyes as the familiar 'ding' sound rang in his head again.

[Level Up system restarting]

The familiar mechanical, cold voice that rang in Lu Zhen's head made him smile for some reason.

[Detected changes in the system]

[The system restriction is off]

[Ding]

[System upgrading]

"Hmm." A frown appeared on Lu Zhen's face as he tried to call his system; however, nothing appeared in front of him except for a panel that showed him a timer of 23 hours and 59 minutes.

A bitter expression appeared on his face when he saw this.

"I need to wait again?" Lu Zhen frowned.

"Hmm." He suddenly extended his hands forward and could perfectly control his aura, which made his eyes light up.

"At least now I can use all the system skills again." Lu Zhen smirked as a thought gathered in his mind.

"Now I can dual cultivate again to increase my cultivation." He snickered while looking at the fire which started to burn, destroying the machinery.

"Perfect, saved me the trouble." Lu Zhen's eyes glinted with a murderous thought as he swiped his hands and a large number of plants started to grow from the ground, destroying every piece of machinery in the room one by one without sparing anything. Even the fire grew larger as the plants gently let the fire burn them, using it as fuel.

After everything was burned in the room, Lu Zhen nodded his head and walked out of the room with a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

As he walked out, he saw a concerned Lu Qing looking at him.

"Young master, didn't it work?"

"No, it didn't," Lu Zhen said with a sigh on his face.

The five's expressions turned disappointed when they heard this.

"Don't worry, we will try it again in the future. For now, clean the entire place. I will be returning to my palace," Lu Zhen said while coughing.

The old man smiled with amusement at "the perks of being young."

The other three alchemists also nodded in tactical understanding, all except for Lu Qing, who was confused by the situation.

"What do you guys mean?"
