Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Boss, what level of enhancer are you?

“Sir… My name is Ye Wu, and this is my younger brother Ye Du. Thank you for saving us.” Seeing the communication symbol’s projection disappear, Ye Wu tentatively addressed Jiang Li. “I…”

Ye Wu wanted to talk about how she would repay Jiang Li’s kindness, but then she realized she was just a mere first-level Enhancer. What could she possibly offer? Not even with her body.

Although she had a pretty face, she had endured ten years of hardship in this world, leaving her body riddled with scars. She removed her Enhancement Suit and underwear, revealing only a body covered in jarring scars and defined abdominal muscles.

She’d heard that the bigwigs in the Five Districts preferred girls with a soft, fragrant body, and no one wanted a body like hers.

“My name is Jiang Li. I’m only five hundred years older than you. Just call me Brother Jiang,” Jiang Li said with a smile, none of the airs that Ye Wu had encountered among the powerful figures in the Five Districts.

“Where is the most populated area in your world, and what about the zombies?” Jiang Li wondered if the demons from outside the realm had caused this world to become so dire.

Jiang Li didn’t dare expand his spiritual sense to its maximum. The people of this world weren’t familiar with spiritual sense, so his sweep wouldn’t register. But the Brahma Tower was different. This spirited artifact would surely sense his spiritual sense, and if it could tear through space and escape, it might be troublesome.

Furthermore, Jiang Li wasn’t familiar with the Brahma Tower, and he wondered if it could evade his spiritual sense.

He supposed it might. The Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal said the Brahma Tower had trapped itself like a nesting doll through several layers of space, and his spiritual sense might not be able to cross the space and find it.

Jiang Li knew this couldn’t be rushed. The Ancient and Modern Sword and the Brahma Tower, roaming the world, mastered the laws of time and space, neither of which he was particularly adept at. Finding them would undoubtedly take time.

Buddha Wuzhi had said that the Brahma Tower might prefer to reason in crowded places, so he decided to go and see where the crowds were.

Although they were puzzled by Jiang Li’s use of the term “this world,” as if he were from another world, Ye Wu and his brother knew they had no standing to question him, so they could only answer honestly.

“We have five major districts, where 80% of the world’s population gathers,” Ye Wu pointed in a direction. “District Three is the closest, and we belong to District Three.”

Jiang Li nodded and walked ahead. With each step, the rubble on the ground dispersed, allowing him to step on flat ground, shocking the siblings’ eyes wide.

“As for how the zombies came about, I can’t remember the exact time, but it was probably about ten years ago.”

“A zombie virus suddenly appeared, infecting both humans and animals. The ocean was the first to be infected, and the virus spread extremely quickly in the ocean. After a few days, the entire ocean became a zombie paradise.” “

At first, we didn’t know that marine life had become zombies. Some people salvaged seafood and shipped it all over the world, and everyone who ate the seafood turned into zombies.” “

Although various countries have responded and sent troops to suppress it, the zombies evolved too quickly. Soon, high-level zombies appeared and infected the military in turn.” “

And after marine life became zombies, their bodies mutated, they grew wings, and flew out of the sea.”

Ye Wu recalled the day when the shadows covered them, and couldn’t help but shudder. “Our city is by the sea, and the first stop for the marine life after landing was our city. The blue whales danced with their fleshy wings, emitting long cries like the devils from hell, their mouths opened to ninety degrees, and countless fish flew out of their mouths, rushing towards us, biting us frantically, and anyone bitten turned into a zombie.”

“Humanity suffered repeated defeats in the face of zombies, social order collapsed, the world soon fell, and it was plunged into a zombie crisis.”

“The activity area has shrunk, supplies are in short supply, and zombies appear from time to time. In this precarious situation, everyone has become selfish and only wants to survive, regardless of anything else.”

“Deception, betrayal, robbery… Such things happen all the time. People occupy supermarkets, hospitals, police stations and other places as strongholds, forming small teams one by one to plunder supplies and arm themselves.” “

Later, as we got to know more about zombies,

we discovered that the zombies’ weakness lies in their heads, or to be more precise, their brain cores.” Ye Wu took out the third-level zombie brain core that Jiang Li threw to them: “The zombie’s brain disappears and turns into this thing. After we absorb it, our bodies have undergone significant changes. Our strength, speed, reaction, etc. have increased exponentially. We call such people enhancers.”

“We divide zombies into five levels, and correspondingly, we also divide enhancers into five levels.”

“What level of enhancers are you, and what level of zombie does this brain core belong to?” Jiang Li asked.

At this point, Ye Du puffed out his chest slightly, “We’re all first-level enhancers.”

Only a handful of humans could become enhancers; it depended on talent, and they were all formidable among first-level enhancers.

However, Ye Du remembered there was nothing to brag about in front of the boss, so he hunched his shoulders. “This brain core belongs to a third-level zombie. I heard there’s only one third-level zombie in this city, and it might be this one.”

Jiang Li calculated that first-level roughly corresponds to the Qi training stage, third to the Golden Core stage, and the zombie he’d crushed seemed to have barely reached the Foundation Establishment stage, making it second-level in this world.

However, humans and zombies in this world only share similar physical functions and the immortal cultivation system; they can’t use Taoist magic.

A nearby zombie, attempting to ambush the three, was easily captured by Jiang Li. Before the zombie could react, its brain core was removed, instantly killing it.

The spiritual energy density of a second-level zombie’s brain core was clearly inferior to that of a third-level one, so Jiang Li, deeming it useless, simply tossed it to the siblings.

“Go on.”

Ye Wu continued, “Later, governments and consortiums established five major regions, named with numbers, District One, District Two, District Three, District Four, and District Five, where survivors can go.”

“Have you seen a fifth-level zombie or a fifth-level enhancer?” Jiang Li asked suddenly. He wanted to know if the fifth level corresponds to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Ye Du smiled bitterly, “Don’t be ridiculous, big brother. If I had seen a fifth-level zombie, would I still be alive today? I only took a quick look at the fourth-level zombie from a distance and ran away. As for the fifth-level enhancer, there is one in District Three, but that kind of strong man is so elusive that a small person like me is not qualified to see it. At most, I have seen it on the big screen.”

“What level of enhancer are you, big brother?” Ye Du’an couldn’t help his curiosity. His heart was pounding. Is it the fourth level… or the fifth level?

Jiang Li smiled and said, “The Mahayana stage. It may be a little stronger than the fifth-level zombies and fifth-level enhancers you mentioned.”
