"Fine! You think you can kill me seven times in and seven times out? Then I'll show you what it means for the brave to win in a close contest!"
After muttering this to herself, Tang Feifei paused for a moment, her face turning even redder with embarrassment and anger.
Because she suddenly realized... she seemed to have been led astray by Qiu Tu! What kind of idioms and proverbs were they using so carelessly!
And so, watching Tang Feifei flee in disarray, Qiu Tu's expression slowly faded.
Actually... the reason he was telling dirty jokes wasn't because he really wanted to do anything with Tang Feifei.
Rather, he knew Tang Feifei's personality well: she liked to do things but didn't like to talk about them.
Given her current physical condition, Tang Feifei would not risk aggravating her injuries by pushing herself too hard.
So... telling a few dirty jokes would be a polite way to get Tang Feifei to leave sooner.
This would give him time to advance in rank.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu called Tan Huimin over and asked her to close the door from the outside and stop anyone who came to visit or congratulate him.
After doing all this, Qiu Tu locked the door from the inside and then sat on the bed.
He recalled the process of advancing to the third-tier Cataclysm that he had previously obtained from Tang Feifei and Qin Shuman, and hesitated for a moment. Then he opened the Gold-Loving Wallet and took out a fist-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal".
Having put the "Boundless Divine Crystal" aside and made all the necessary preparations, Qiu Tu finally stopped waiting and officially began his ascension!
Release that suppressed feeling of wanting to evolve beyond your limits, and completely liberate your soul!
The next second, Qiu Tu felt the cataclysmic power in his body begin to slowly boil, his body became hotter and hotter, and his consciousness became more and more ethereal!
He seemed to be gradually becoming detached from reality; his vision was becoming increasingly blurry, his voice was fading into the distance, and his senses were becoming increasingly dulled!
If he could open his eyes now and see his condition, he would find that his body seems to have been eroded by time, gradually turning gray and decaying.
What's even more terrifying is that his body seems to have lost all vitality. His eyes are wide open, and his face is covered with skin and bones, as if a gust of wind would turn him to ashes.
Just as his body was completely collapsing, a faint light began to slowly appear in Qiu Tu's brain.
That glimmer of light was like a star, dazzling and clear. It was the soul and consciousness of someone who had reached the peak of the second tier!
Just as that faint light grew brighter and more dazzling, Qiu Tu's consciousness seemed to be suddenly jolted awake!
He felt as if he resonated with the whole world, as if he could see the cataclysmic power floating in the air, as if he could sense the flow and changes of the cataclysmic power!
It was as if one could also see the enormous energy source beside them: the Boundless Divine Crystal!
Just as he was immersed in that mysterious state, the cataclysmic power around his body, as well as the pure cataclysmic power contained in the "Boundless Divine Crystal" beside him, began to surge towards him wildly!
As the cataclysmic power surged in, his soul and consciousness began to grow rapidly!
He felt his mind was clearer and sharper than ever before, as if the whole world was under his perception.
Even more! He seemed to sense another, higher-dimensional world that existed above this one!
That is the world of the spirit! A world more magnificent and wondrous than reality!
If he is interested, he can directly cross over to that world without needing any "talisman skull" or any gate between the two worlds!
Because he originally belonged to that world!
Just after Qiu Tu's soul was sublimated, his physical body finally could not withstand the power of his soul, and it completely collapsed and cracked.
But that's alright... because at this moment, that glimmer of light has gradually grown into a complete human form!
Soon, the humanoid glimmer of light absorbed the power of the cataclysm and began to solidify continuously!
Bones, nerves, blood vessels, organs, muscles, skin... everything is being reshaped according to the soul!
During the reshaping process, every bone, every nerve, and every inch of skin seemed to have shimmering, spiderweb-like patterns of cataclysmic transformation.
at the same time....
While Qiu Tu was advancing, several second- and third-tier Cataclysms in the Exploration Bureau building seemed to sense something and looked in the direction where Qiu Tu was.
In their perception, the power of catastrophe seemed to be flowing rapidly toward that direction, but... it wasn't that intense.
'What is Qiu Tu up to?'
Thinking this, the senior executives activated their spiritual vision and looked over.
However... due to the influence of the "Boundless Divine Crystal," in their vision, Qiu Tu's entire rest room seemed to be emitting and absorbing the power of catastrophe!
After observing quietly for a while, unable to understand the phenomenon, they turned off their energy-consuming spiritual vision state, shook their heads, and ignored it.
After all... in the extraordinary world, especially the supernatural world with a more bizarre aspect, too many people have their own secrets.
Furthermore, there are too many Cataclysmic Noble Phantasms, and Cataclysmic Materials may trigger similar phenomena.
Unless someone is determined to become a mortal enemy, no one will bother to dig deep into the details of the situation.
'Is this treatment?'
'It can't be that they're advancing to the next round, can it?'
Thinking this, Shi Youxin, Lin Ting, Guan Weihua and the others slowly shook their heads, then continued to work with their heads down.
Yu Zhengyi seemed to sense something, but he only frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but did nothing.
Only Tang Feifei, upon witnessing this scene, picked up her landline and made a call to Qiu Tu's office on the 12th floor.
After receiving confirmation from Tan Huimin that everything was normal and Qiu Tu was resting, she didn't pursue the matter further...
And so, under the cover of the "Boundless Divine Crystal," Qiu Tu successfully deceived everyone and advanced "quietly"...
I don't know how much time passed; it might have been an hour, or it might have been several hours!
When everything was over, Qiu Tu slowly woke up from his bed.
He discovered that the room was now a complete mess, resembling a crime scene.
Everywhere there was mangled flesh and blood, and dark red blood stained the entire bed, seeping into the sheets and under the mattress.
His clothes were already torn, and he lay naked in a pool of blood.
However, Qiu Tu didn't care about any of this. He suddenly clenched his hand!
A loud "Boom!" rang out!
In that instant! Qiu Tu even felt as if he had crushed the air!
His eyes lit up with surprise, and then he quickly closed his eyes to feel it.
Perhaps because his body was reshaped from the soul, Qiu Tu could clearly see every organ, every blood vessel, and every muscle in his body when he closed his eyes!
Moreover, he felt as if his body was filled with endless power!
He felt that not only his strength had greatly improved, but his endurance also seemed to far surpass that of his past self!
The feeling was as if he could immediately storm into the boundless sea of the heart, relentlessly kill all the boats, kill the whales, and then kill the evil moon who helped the whales, directly reclaiming the New Territories region!
'This...is absolutely amazing.'
'It's worlds apart from the peak of the second tier.'
In that instant... Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of Tang Feifei.
He suddenly realized... Tang Feifei had really been holding back lately, letting him have his way. Otherwise, with his strength as a third-tier Cataclysm user, he would be no match for her at all!
No wonder, the third-order Cataclysm is a watershed moment.
Not only can one enter the boundless sea of the mind without any assistance, but one can also withstand heavy weapons!
This is truly a human war machine!
Moreover, don't forget that Tier 3 Cataclysmics can awaken a second Cataclysmic ability!
This gives the Tier 3 Cataclysmic Beings an additional trump card! Their strength has undergone a qualitative change!
Thinking this through, Qiu Tu didn't check his new ability right away, but instead decided to deal with the impact of his advancement first!
Thinking this, he first opened his eyes, then opened the "Dimensional Magic Ring" and put all the trash, sheets, mattresses, and even the bed on the ground into the dimensional space.
Then he opened the window of the lounge.
Before anyone knew it, the blue moon was already high in the sky, casting a faint glow upon the New Territories.
Qiu Tu peered down and saw that since it was already night, there were no detectives coming and going downstairs.
So, Qiu Tu confidently stood in the corner of the lounge and suddenly waved his hand!
The next second, the dust and the smell of blood were blown away by the fan and flew out the window!
After doing all this, Qiu Tu took a shower, then took out a new set of clothes, changed into them, and then pushed open the door to the lounge.
Tan Huimin had been waiting outside the door. When she saw Qiu Tu come out on his own, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. She quickly went to greet him, wanting to ask if Qiu Tu's injuries had healed.
But at this moment, Qiu Tu was preparing to check out the second cataclysmic ability and had no time to chat with her.
So Qiu Tu simply said, "Have someone clean and arrange things," and left his private office on the 12th floor. He was going out to test out his new abilities!
---------
Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Please vote with monthly tickets!
Chapter 364 The Second Cataclysmic Ability! (10,000 words, please vote!)
Hearing Qiu Tu's words and watching his dashing figure, Tan Huimin was stunned for a moment.
Should we have someone else clean and arrange it?
What needs cleaning? What needs to be arranged?
The lounge isn't fully stocked, but it's not messy either.
Thinking this, Tan Huimin couldn't help but look inside the door.
The next second, her fair oval face was filled with astonishment.
Huh? Where's my bed and Qiu Tu's bed?
Such a big bed!
Where did it go?
How come my superior officer, after resting for half a day, has lost his bed...?
At this moment, as Tan Huimin was thinking this...
Qiu Tu had already left his private office on the 12th floor and headed straight for the medical department on the 11th floor.
Since it was already after work hours, there weren't many people left when Qiu Tu arrived at the medical department on the 11th floor.
Qiu Tu didn't pay any attention. He picked up the communicator and made a call to the director of the medical department.
A moment later, the call connected. The head of the medical department's voice, tinged with obsequiousness, came through the receiver, "Director Qiu... no, Director Qiu. You wanted to see me?"
As one of the three highest-ranking officials in the New Territories City Investigation Department, Qiu Tu has reached the pinnacle of the New Territories City in terms of both status and power.
As the Deputy Director of Operations, Qiu Tu's position in the Investigation Department is third only to Tang Feifei and Yu Zhengyi.
However, his power surpasses that of Yu Zhengyi, ranking him second.
Furthermore, because he also controls the powerful Political Department, he is now, in a sense, able to rival Tang Feifei.
In the New Territories, Qiu Tu's status is second only to the three giants, placing him in the first tier.
In terms of status, because there are several city council members, he is only just ranked in the top 10 in the New Territories.
But in terms of power, he is undeniably fifth!
Only lower than Committee Member Jiang of the City Hall, Colonel Lin of the Military Department, Tang Feifei, and Qin Shuman.
This is still his visible power.
If we also add the authority to command the security department that Dai Yukang authorized him to do.
Qiu Tu felt that he was now... the uncrowned king of the entire New Territories.
He commands thousands of armed detectives, oversees various police stations throughout the New Territories, and controls secret departments and intelligence agencies of the Detective Agency and the military...
Now, in the entire New Territories, who can rival him?
Even when facing Colonel Lin, who commanded tens of thousands of troops, Qiu Tu was not intimidated at all.
It is precisely because of Qiu Tu's current soaring status and power that the director of the medical department is still extremely respectful and obsequious, even though he is only one level away from being promoted.
Qiu Tu was neither surprised nor concerned about the attitude of the head of the medical department.
