Dusk descended quickly.
Chu Tian and the other two stayed put all day.
Miao Zuo and Lin Ran were naturally exemplary.
Chu Tian felt ashamed watching them.
A deep sense of embarrassment washed over him.
It was because these two had not moved from their spots since dawn until dusk.
For nearly the entire morning, both of them had been meditating and cultivating.
In the afternoon, they began to study formations and discuss them.
Chu Tian understood nothing, like a duck hearing thunder.
However, he also had things to do.
Besides extending his divine sense to scan the surroundings,
he kept a close watch on the homeless man.
The man’s breathing was even, as if he were merely sleeping.
However,
occasionally, the muscles in his body would twitch.
Chu Tian wanted to observe closely.
But the twitches were very subtle.
And they lasted for a very short time.
Throughout the entire day,
his muscles twitched three times.
Finally, during the third twitch, Chu Tian saw the full picture.
Each time the man’s muscles twitched, it seemed his aura grew stronger.
However, this continuous growth was extremely faint.
Chu Tian, relying only on his naked eye,
still couldn’t perceive it clearly.
Yet, using his divine sense, he couldn’t detect the man’s presence at all.
It was as if the man was invisible within his divine sense.
Until it was completely dark.
The homeless man suddenly opened his eyes.
Because Chu Tian had been staring at him all day,
when the man first opened his eyes, Chu Tian was startled.
The man's eyes were completely black, devoid of whites or pupils.
However, this sight lasted only for the blink of an eye.
Literally a blink.
After the homeless man blinked and reopened his eyes,
they had returned to normal.
“Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”
To observe him more easily, Chu Tian had moved a broken stool and sat before the man’s makeshift bed.
When the man opened his eyes, he was startled.
“Your house?” Chu Tian was taken aback by the question.
Then, he chuckled.
“We are passing through this area, and seeing as this place is quite good, we decided to rest here for a while!”
Chu Tian spoke without hesitation.
He managed to confuse the homeless man, leaving him bewildered.
Even Chu Tian himself found it hard to believe, glancing at the dilapidated structure that had been converted from a pavilion.
It was only habitable in summer;
in winter, it could freeze a person to death.
Watching the man’s reaction, Chu Tian noted that the homeless man was now acting very human-like.
In reality, he was a person, but Chu Tian had a preconception that they operated like programs, following their predetermined paths.
However, interacting with him now, Chu Tian no longer felt that way.
“Alright, we’re leaving now.” Chu Tian stood up.
“Wait!” the homeless man suddenly called out to him.
Chu Tian turned back, looking at him with a peculiar expression.
He had been preparing to offer some money, given the man’s apparent status.
Money… that should be what he valued most.
“Since you said my place is a good spot, I’ll give you something.”
As the homeless man spoke, he reached under his sleeping mat to search for something.
Chu Tian really wanted to refuse, after all…
What good things could a homeless person possibly have?
If he had anything valuable, why would he be sleeping in this broken pavilion?
However, before Chu Tian could voice his thoughts, the homeless man had already retrieved something.
Chu Tian was stunned.
He actually recognized the item.
“This thing fell from the sky yesterday. It… it fell right there, and made such a big pit.
It scared me half to death. If it had landed a bit to the side, it would have hit me on the head!
I originally intended to take it to the scrapyard, but the owner took one look and said it was a Buddhist artifact, and refused to buy it.
I think you’re someone who appreciates fine things, so I’ll give this to you!”
The homeless man rambled on.
Meanwhile, Chu Tian stared at the item, thinking, “This f—
“These are all Void-Piercing Talismans, and this jade talisman… crushing it allows for teleportation, within a range of 2000 meters! It can save your life in critical moments.”
“Don’t worry, if you can’t win, you can always run!”
Chu Tian accepted the items with a smile, patting Lin Ran’s shoulder.
He turned and sprinted towards the city center.
He didn’t dare to go too fast, fearing he might be noticed.
His initial plan was to get out of this residential area.
And see if he could catch a taxi.
Upon exiting the area, he saw that there were indeed taxis.
And they were all empty.
However, when he approached one of them,
and stated his destination,
the driver looked at him strangely.
“Not going, not going, not going…”
With that, he sped away.
His attitude was quite hostile.
“What the heck…”
He dared to refuse service?
Normally, Chu Tian would have filed a complaint immediately.
But now, he had no choice.
He couldn’t use his special abilities.
So…
He spotted a motorcycle parked by the roadside.
The bike had just stopped.
The engine was still running.
A rider in a leather jacket and a girl.
The two were walking towards the convenience store next to it.
“Brother, I’m sorry about this!”
Chu Tian muttered internally.
He moved swiftly.
And reappeared on the motorcycle.
He dared to use his small-scale movement techniques.
He kicked away the kickstand holding the bike up.
He shifted into gear, clutched the clutch.
And gave the throttle full blast.
“Vroom…”
This bike had clearly been modified.
The exhaust was incredibly loud.
Chu Tian couldn’t help but frown, his ears ringing.
“What are you doing?”
A roar came from a few meters away.
“Heh heh~”
Chu Tian turned, baring his small white teeth at the man, and grinned.
He released the clutch.
Vroom…
He shot out like an arrow.
This motorcycle was well-modified.
Its acceleration was incredibly fast.
The biker.
Chased after him quickly.
But to no avail.
Furious, he threw his helmet towards Chu Tian.
But it only hit the ground.
All that was left was a stream of curses.
And Chu Tian…
was exhilarated.
He actually had a motorcycle license.
But that was only on paper.
He had only touched a motorcycle on the training grounds.
And this thing he was riding should be called a motorbike.
Feeling the wind whistling past his ears,
as his speed increased, the roar of the exhaust was left behind.
The scenery on either side blurred past.
Although it still seemed slow to Chu Tian,
the feeling was incredibly exhilarating.
Feeling the stimulation,
Chu Tian aggressively twisted the throttle.
This motorbike’s top speed was probably around 120.
However, Chu Tian noticed there were two speedometers on the bike.
The other speedometer’s maximum reading was 480.
Clearly, this motorbike had been modified.
And heavily modified at that.
It must have cost quite a bit of money, he thought.
The guy who owned it must be heartbroken.
Chu Tian didn’t have much understanding of such things.
He had no idea that this one motorbike could buy a supercar.
The owner, just as Chu Tian imagined,
was squatting by the roadside.
Holding his phone and cursing animatedly.
He was likely looking for someone.
But Chu Tian didn’t care about that.
He twisted the throttle all the way.
The first speedometer instantly maxed out.
The second speedometer began to engage.
In the blink of an eye, he had reached over 300 kilometers per hour.
He felt like he could fly if he had wings.
Such speed was unmanageable for ordinary people.
But to Chu Tian, it was nothing.
Although the buildings on either side flashed by rapidly,
he still felt it was very slow compared to his own flight.
So, on this slightly congested street,
he weaved through traffic, passing car after car.
No vehicle could block his advance!
Many people only felt a rush of wind passing by, noticing nothing else.
Chu Tian was truly having a blast.
He secretly decided to ask Sui Xing to build something like this for him when he got back.
Riding this thing was far more exciting than being in a mecha.
