Stronger from Earth-Chapter 94: Preparations Before Departure

"Since you know Young Master Ling’s sister, it becomes a family matter and should be handled by Miss Ling. I won’t get involved."

Liu Yitian took out a business card and handed it to Wang Xuan, then said goodbye, "I’ll head off now. My wife is waiting for me to go home for dinner."

This matter had nothing to do with him. He only followed along thinking Ling Tian was being bullied, taking the side of reason, but...

Rushing in, rushing out, and Ling Tian’s legs turned weak.

The expert he hired was unreliable, leaving him to face such a Great Demon like Wang Xuan alone. What should he do?

Thinking of his arrogant behavior earlier, Ling Tian felt foolish and deeply regretted it.

"Damn, I already admitted fault humbly, why did I meddle? Now I’m screwed."

Wang Xuan glanced at Ling Tian and said calmly, "Don’t worry, I won’t hit you. Hurting you would upset your sister."

Ling Tian felt a spark of joy, but Wang Xuan spoke again, making his heart race.

"But you’ve troubled me multiple times without remorse, so I think you deserve a lesson," Wang Xuan said.

Then he extended his finger and pointed out of thin air at Ling Tian’s mid-waist.

"Ling Tian, starting tomorrow you’ll become partially paralyzed, slipping into a state of semi-paralysis."

Wang Xuan looked directly at Ling Tian.

"Are you trying to scare me?" Ling Tian didn’t believe Wang Xuan’s words could become reality. If that were true, he’d be a God!

"Believe it or not, but in the coming days you’ll find out if it’s true."

If you realize your mistake and genuinely repent, you can come to me and sincerely admit your fault, and I’ll restore you to normal."

With that, Wang Xuan left, confident in his hypnosis skills, knowing that psychological hypnosis can interfere with physiological functions when practiced well.

Ling Tian could see a psychologist, but the effect might be minimal, unless he sought out Wang Xuan himself, or a cultivator from the Divine Treasure or Vajra Realm with strong spiritual cultivation skills to intervene, otherwise the issue couldn’t be resolved.

"I’m telling you clearly; you’ve been hypnotized by me. Physically, there’s nothing wrong with you, but psychologically, that might not be certain."

After speaking, Wang Xuan departed without turning back, as dealing with Ling Tian had wasted enough of his time. But within a few days, the other would likely tremble and beg for his help.

Ling Tian kicked a broken car, feeling awful. Ever since he met Wang Xuan today, he felt unlucky, and now Wang claimed he cursed him.

"Whatever you say? Well, I don’t believe it!" Ling Tian mouthed off defiantly, but deep down, a seed of doubt was planted, leaving him deeply uneasy.

If what Wang Xuan said made him suddenly paralyzed, then...

Thinking of such a situation sent shivers down Ling Tian’s spine; it was terrifying!

"No way! I have to try something. What if he’s telling the truth?"

The thought left him utterly shattered.

Thinking about Wang Xuan, Ling Tian knew he could solve the problem, but was reluctant to bow his head and admit fault unless no other option remained.

For the moment, events concluded, Ling Tian spent a day struggling with worry, only falling asleep late at night.

"Who does he think he is? Speaking magically, says I’m going to be paralyzed, and I am? Absurd!"

Ling Tian scoffed outwardly, but in the depths of his mind, he felt a strong fear of Wang Xuan’s words.

Early the next morning, he opened his eyes.

Moved his neck, fine. Moved his arms, fine, moved his legs.

?

Where are my legs?

Suddenly, Ling Tian realized he couldn’t feel his legs.

"Modern medicine is so advanced, it must be able to fix this. I need to see a doctor," Ling Tian summoned a robot to urgently take him to the hospital.

Over the next two days, he underwent tests and treatment at numerous hospitals, but various examinations revealed no physical issues.

"This is caused by psychological factors, and with psychological guidance, recovery is possible," the doctor assured him.

A disease that can’t be diagnosed is not only strange; it could very well be a serious condition.

Ling Tian was terrified yet held onto a sliver of hope. Since it’s a psychological issue, once the mental barrier is lifted, he can return to normal.

For the next half month, he frequented hospital treatments.

During this time, a rumor spread in his social circle: Ling Tian was scared into paralysis.

Various young lords and ladies who heard the news laughed heartily, making it a talking point and joke.

If he could recover, Ling Tian could dispel this rumor, but the terrifying reality was that after half a month’s treatment, no change occurred.

He was truly paralyzed.

Ling Tian was on the verge of collapse, filled with regret: "Why did I provoke Wang Xuan? Was I out of my mind?"

"I’ll go to Wang Xuan, just to admit fault, apologize! As long as I can return to normal, it’s worth it!"

Remembering Wang Xuan, Ling Tian searched everywhere but received unfortunate news that Wang Xuan couldn’t be found, as he had entered the Otherworld in Meiling.

To resolve his personal issue, he had to wait for Wang Xuan to return.

Ling Tian wanted to cry but had no tears.

The day after teaching Ling Tian a lesson, Wang Xuan went to a villa area near the University City, which was nestled by mountains and water, offering beautiful scenery and inhabited by many wealthy individuals.

After touring and inspecting a villa that belonged to Xiaowei, Wang Xuan was quite satisfied, left instructions, and departed for the rented residential area.

In the bedroom, he left the villa property certificate, keys, and a bank card, along with a letter to Xiaowei, enclosing all her assets.

The task Xiaowei had asked him to help with, buying a house, was now perfectly settled.

"Now I can enter the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm with peace, as all trivial matters have been resolved, and I have no attachments."

Wang Xuan returned to the Martial Arts Hall, where he spent his time practicing diligently until he and the Mountain Gate disciples were gathered once more.

They were preparing for the final departure.

In the Meiling area, numerous buildings had been erected, with a large military presence and extensive warehouses storing armament supplies.

The Master Zhou Wu had stayed here for a long time, leading the Mountain Gate disciples into a warehouse showcasing various weapons to Wang Xuan and others.

The dazzling personal weapons attracted their attention.

Under the guidance of soldiers, the Mountain Gate disciples operated these weapons: terrifying high-temperature Light Saber, long-range powerful Laser Gun, and the durable, nearly indestructible Super Bulletproof Vest.

High-speed individual flying devices that could be worn in ten seconds and travel at subsonic speeds, covering thousands of miles in an hour easily.

Personal Mecha, paralysis guns causing captivation, precise and powerful auto-rifles, small scanners for detecting biological signatures, and positioning instruments for team members.

Moreover, among the strong presence of personal weaponry were devices like the Plasma Cannon that could blow up a truck with one shot and the Superpower Rifle that could obliterate a person without a trace.

Including Wang Xuan, most had never handled these weapons before. The youths were excited, imagining themselves wreaking havoc.

"With these weapons, as long as you can carry them, take as much as you want, because in that Otherworld, aside from your own strength, you’ll rely on these weapons and some auxiliary treasures," Zhou Wu said.

The next half-hour was spent selecting weapons. Among the disciples, every third or fifth person would have a Storage Celestial Treasure provided by their mentors for this Otherworld journey.

Wang Xuan owned more than twenty cubic Storage Celestial Treasures, where he loaded various weapons, whether Laser Guns, Plasma Cannons, Super Energy Cannons, or small flying devices.

After hundreds entered, the warehouse was cleared significantly, leaving the administrative staff responsible for military supplies feeling distressed.

Looking at Zhou Wu, Wang Xuan asked, "Senior Brother Zhou, our main goal for this Otherworld journey should be to weaken the Otherworld’s forces, making their overall strength decline.

With these personal weapons, survival for a hundred people in the Otherworld is challenging, and even with efforts, it amounts to mere ripples, incapable of threatening the Otherworld experts.

Do we have any large-scale destructive weapons here, like nuclear bombs?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Without such major arms, achieving significant impacts in the Otherworld seems unlikely, restricting us to minor engagements.
