Some team members hail from ancient martial arts families or combat clans. As the saying goes, ’An outsider watches the excitement, an insider watches the intricacies,’ they can naturally discern Lin Beichen’s extraordinary tactics.
"This move looks like Baji Fist."
"What do you mean ’looks like’? That’s clearly Baji Fist!"
A descendant from a Baji Fist family in the mission team had a face full of excitement. He saw that even the elders in his family could not perform Baji Fist to the level of mastery Lin Beichen just demonstrated.
"If given the chance, I’d really like to learn from him."
"Look at the move he’s executing now. Doesn’t it resemble the ancient martial arts described in our family?"
A sharp-eyed team member suddenly noticed a change in Lin Beichen’s hand movements.
Lin Beichen’s hands were continuously sliding, appearing slow, yet producing afterimages. This fast yet slow motion was very similar to the ancient martial arts found in Tai Chi.
The Tai Chi we see nowadays is mostly a form of exercise, but as the saying goes, ’Literature uses Tai Chi to bring peace, martial arts uses Baji to determine the fate of the world.’
True Tai Chi is purely a killing technique, which is why it held the top position among ancient martial arts during the era of ’Hundred Schools of Thought Contending.’
After Lin Beichen showcased Tai Chi, Song Xiangdong noticed that the black scorpion’s movements seemed to be guided by Lin Beichen, controlled like a puppet.
"Is this the power of the ancient martial art Tai Chi?"
Lin Beichen’s seemingly slow actions contained immense power. Each motion could affect the attacking path of the black scorpion.
"It’s time to finish this!"
After a period of battling, Lin Beichen seemed to have gained a new understanding of the word "combat," and the black scorpion’s movements increasingly appeared slow under his gaze.
Clearly, this black scorpion could no longer meet Lin Beichen’s expectations. For an enemy that fails to meet his expectations, Lin Beichen’s only recourse is death.
Lin Beichen’s hands suddenly emitted a sound like lightning, greenish-blue lightning coiled around his hands like serpents.
Perhaps even Lin Beichen hadn’t noticed that the lightning in his hands had become tangible.
This also signified that Lin Beichen’s understanding of the Electric Element had deepened. Looking at the snake-like electrical tongues on his hands, Lin Beichen’s lips curled into a cold smile.
He then stepped in Eight Trigrams formation, charging towards the black scorpion at incredible speed. The fear of lightning is instinctive in all animals, even the desert-dwelling black scorpion.
Feeling the immense pressure from Lin Beichen’s hands, the black scorpion didn’t charge but rather showed signs of retreat.
"Didn’t expect you to know fear, you beast!"
Seeing the black scorpion’s state, Lin Beichen sneered inwardly.
The next second, Lin Beichen disappeared from the black scorpion’s sight. The scorpion turned its massive body, trying to locate Lin Beichen’s figure.
However, in the God’s perspective of Song Xiangdong and others, Lin Beichen’s movements were extremely graceful. Before the black scorpion could find him, intense pain surged from its tail.
With his hand acting as a blade augmented by the Electric Element, Lin Beichen directly cleaved the steel tail of the black scorpion. The steel tail was severed, with dark green liquid flowing from the wound.
The liquid, exposed to the heat of the sand, emitted sizzling sounds, like oil boiling in a pan.
"If you don’t want to die, show me the way to the oasis!"
Lin Beichen didn’t know if the black scorpion understood his words, but it didn’t matter — if it did, it would buy itself a bit more time.
Unexpectedly, the black scorpion seemed to understand Lin Beichen and started crawling in a certain direction.
The black scorpion crawled a few steps, then stopped and turned its large head to look at Lin Beichen, as if ensuring Lin Beichen was following.
Lin Beichen nodded toward the scorpion and followed it toward the so-called oasis.
The mirror formed by the black hole not only reflected Lin Beichen’s battle movements but also echoed the sounds within.
"What’s this oasis he mentioned?"
Song Xiangdong turned to his staff, showing a rare serious expression.
"Have you identified the desert’s location?"
Seeing Lin Beichen, Song Xiangdong immediately had his subordinates investigate all deserts within Dragon Country, hoping to locate Lin Beichen.
The results disappointed Song Xiangdong, as they failed to find Lin Beichen in any desert.
"Director, while oases exist in our domestic deserts, Lin Beichen does not appear in any, so we are uncertain where he intends to go."
The security bureau staff displayed a helpless expression. Hearing his subordinate, Song Xiangdong shook his head in resignation. Though disappointed, he knew his men tried their best.
"It’s not your fault. Many issues cannot be solved by technology alone."
Fu Daoyi intentionally feigned displeasure, glancing at Song Xiangdong.
Although Song Xiangdong wasn’t truly angry, Fu Daoyi couldn’t help but grumble.
"I understand. I only worry about his safety."
Beyond dealing with the black hole incident, Lin Beichen appeared at Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Considering Lin Beichen’s intrinsic value and the path he is on, Song Xiangdong knows more than anyone that if Lin Beichen succeeds, he will change the landscape of Dragon Country and potentially the entire world.
Thus, even if issues at Dragon Tiger Mountain remain, Lin Beichen must not face any trouble.
"What you said is true, but some people are born with certain missions."
Fu Daoyi spoke in a calm tone.
Meanwhile, guided by the black scorpion, Lin Beichen arrived at the oasis seen in his dreams.
Joy spread across Lin Beichen’s face, as the oasis matched exactly what he saw in his dream.

Turning to the black scorpion beside him, Lin Beichen smiled and nodded.
"Since you brought me here, I’ll honor my promise."
Saying this, Lin Beichen waved at the black scorpion. Without hesitation, as if fearing Lin Beichen would regret, it burrowed into the sand.
"This place indeed reeks of life."
Standing in the oasis, Lin Beichen took a deep breath, feeling his cells purifying within. Unexpectedly, the exhalation from Lin Beichen was black-gray.
"Is this the oasis’s power?"
Lin Beichen’s actions and words were closely observed by Song Xiangdong and others.
Seeing the oasis’s miraculous effects, they wished to enter the black hole to experience it.
Even though Lin Beichen sensed the dense presence of the Molybdenum Element around, he didn’t rush to sit down but rather scanned his surroundings for any danger.
Lin Beichen knew well that once he starts perceiving, everything around will be automatically filtered out. Any danger at such a moment could be fatal.
Ensuring no wild beasts were around, Lin Beichen finally felt at ease.
"After that fight, I am indeed a bit hungry..."
