Chapter 342 The Arrogant Lan Xiu
Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.
"Muddy, please give me your hand!"
"Get lost! Only your sisters-in-law are allowed to touch my hands!"
Two figures were chasing each other, with one taller figure cornering the other, a relatively shorter figure.
"What are you doing! You've been acting strange ever since you woke up at the hospital! Have you been holding it in for too long? Tell Ye Xiaosheng to take you to a nice place!" Ye Nanxiao huddled in the corner, trembling with his arms crossed.
Before him stood Huo Yuhao, his face beaming with excitement.
"Give me your hand!" Huo Yuhao said excitedly.
"Get lost! My innocence belongs only to your sisters-in-law!" Ye Nanxiao shuddered.
Something is wrong!
Something's not right!
Huo Yuhao has been acting strangely ever since he woke up in the medical facility two days ago, he's been staring at me the whole time!
"Oh no! I've recently gained some insights into the third eye! I'm going to use you as a test subject!" Huo Yuhao slapped his forehead. He was indeed anxious and excited, but what was with Muddy's reaction?!
He's a perfectly normal, sunny, and cheerful model student!
"What? Isn't this even worse? Using me as a guinea pig!" Ye Nanxiao crossed his arms and shouted "Da me da me."
Huo Yuhao pointed to his forehead and said, "In my dream, I suddenly had some new insights into the Eye of Destiny! I wonder if it's the ability to foresee the future!"
Predict future?
With this ability, will you still be living a life of playing with snakeskin afterward?
Ye Nanxiao reached out and pressed his hand against Huo Yuhao's forehead, carefully feeling his temperature. He said with a puzzled look, "No fever? Did you drink alcohol? How many dishes did you have to drink to get like this?"
"Hurry up, Muddy, you're my closest person, come with me to experiment, if it works!" Huo Yuhao didn't finish his sentence.
"Really? You're not dreaming?" Ye Nanxiao asked doubtfully, as he didn't remember Huo Yuhao having this ability.
"Really!" Huo Yuhao said excitedly.
While dealing with the Ice Bear King in the Sea of Spirit, Huo Yuhao would sometimes fall asleep. In his dreams, he would sometimes see a blurry white shadow with a third eye on its forehead, which looked like himself.
When the shadow appears, a gentle male voice will guide the shadow's cultivation, specifically regarding the cultivation of the Eye of Destiny.
While asleep, Huo Yuhao vaguely remembered some things, but after waking up, he forgot most of them.
Just now, Huo Yuhao was quietly studying the soul tool when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on the back of his head and a chill ran down his spine. Remembering what he had done, he excitedly pulled Ye Nanxiao to try it out.
Ye Nanxiao handed over his right hand with some skepticism, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao's third eye.
"Could it be a cheat device given to us by Yuan Haisan?"
Huo Yuhao grasped Ye Nanxiao's hand, his Eye of Destiny on his forehead widening, beams of white light intertwining within his pupils.
A trident pattern lit up in the Eye of Destiny, but it was very well hidden, and Ye Nanxiao did not notice it.
A flash of white light appeared before Huo Yuhao's eyes, and then he felt a tickling sensation in his eyes, so he subconsciously closed them.
Tiny glimmers of light appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.
The next moment, a picture of a long and graceful silver dragon circling behind Ye Nanxiao flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind.
Huo Yuhao was startled and released Ye Nanxiao's hand.
"What's wrong? Did you get dazzled by my handsomeness?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his eyes. Why did he feel like he was seeing a silver dragon? Wasn't Ye Nanxiao's martial soul a pure white snow fox?
Surely I wouldn't mistake a fox's tail for a fox's tail?
The white light in the Eye of Destiny dimmed slightly, and the trident pattern hidden in its depths quietly shattered and vanished.
"Muddy, no, let's try again. I must have made a mistake just now!" Huo Yuhao grasped Ye Nanxiao's right hand again, closed his eyes, and carefully felt it.
This time, Huo Yuhao didn't see any images, but instead felt a mysterious sensation.
"Muddy, it seems you're going to have some bad luck lately?" Huo Yuhao said slowly.
His intuition told him that Ye Nanxiao might not have much luck in the future and things might not go smoothly for him.
"Have you awakened your potential to be a charlatan?" Ye Nanxiao laughed, secretly relieved.
Fortunately, Yuan Haisan did not resort to underhanded tactics.
Ye Nanxiao originally thought that Huo Yuhao's sudden discovery of the ability to foresee the future was a cheat device left behind by Yuan Haisan. Now it seems that it may just be that Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny has made a slight improvement again, thus giving Huo Yuhao a more accurate intuition.
He does have intuition, it's just not very accurate.
"What kind of charlatan is this! I'm supposed to be the Eye of Destiny, you know! You think you can just do some divination?" Huo Yuhao said irritably. Could it be that he really just had a dream?
Or is it that the obsession with deciding one's own destiny in youth has been stirred up by memories?
That obsession with escaping the White Tiger Duke's mansion and deciding one's own destiny.
"Your Eye of Destiny has improved a little, and you have a more accurate intuition. It's not a bad thing, at least when we flip a coin, your chances of winning are higher." Ye Nanxiao sat back on his soul guidance experiment table, yawned, and started to catch up on sleep.
"Right? That makes sense, it's not a bad thing." Huo Yuhao was only slightly depressed for a moment before he came to terms with it. The ability to foresee the future was an unparalleled and heaven-defying ability.
Huo Yuhao also walked back to his soul guidance experiment table and buried himself in studying the soul guidance device.
The laboratory door opened, and Xuan Ziwen walked in with a handsome young man.
"I need to explain to you first that only you can determine the direction of the path you choose. Everyone else is just giving you advice. So, how much you gain in the end is up to you," Xuan Ziwen said calmly.
The boy nodded, his eyes indifferent, his gaze sweeping over the entire laboratory.
Hearing the noise, Ye Nanxiao, who was sleeping soundly on the soul guidance experiment table, raised his head from the pile of papers and glanced groggily at the person who walked in.
"Old Xuan, you've brought another newcomer over." Ye Nanxiao glanced at him and then lay back down.
A moment later, a soft snore began to sound.
The boy stared at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "Teacher Xuan, is this your star student?"
"Ahem, so far, he's just one of my students. The other students are just as outstanding! Yuhao!" Xuan Ziwen shouted.
Huo Yuhao, who was also buried in the pile of papers, raised his head, brushed the papers off his body, stood up, and asked, "Teacher, I'm here. Is there something you need?"
Xuan Ziwen pointed to the boy standing next to him and said, "This is Lan Xiu. He has excellent grades and applied to come to the lab to observe and learn. If you have time, you can take charge of learning from Lan Xiu."
Lan Xiu turned to look at Huo Yuhao, a slight ripple appearing in his indifferent eyes.
He recognized Huo Yuhao as one of Xuan Ziwen's three geniuses. Huo Yuhao didn't have a particular strength in any soul tool, but he also didn't have any obvious weaknesses in any soul tool. He was an all-rounder.
Rumor has it that since waking up in the medical center a couple of days ago, Huo Yuhao's mental strength has made a small breakthrough, and his understanding of soul tools has reached a higher level. Now, not only is Huo Yuhao's name circulating in the experimental area, but even in Lan Xiu's class, many people are also in awe of Huo Yuhao's talent.
"You're strong, but I'm strong too, so let's have a match!" Lan Xiu shouted.
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, feeling that the Lan Xiu in front of him seemed to be a hot-blooded, immature teenager.
"Teacher, I'm rushing to finish my experiments. Why don't you ask Senior Sister Orange to come back and mentor us?" Huo Yuhao said, as he still had at least seven hundred different soul tools in his mind that he hadn't fully understood or digested.
Since obtaining the Ice Bear King, his mental strength has made a great breakthrough. He can now understand the blueprints for soul tools that he couldn't understand before, and he is busy conducting experiments!
I don't have time to take care of kids; I'm still a hot-blooded, immature teenager.
"Ju Zi has some personal matters to attend to and isn't in the lab today. Where's Ke Ke?" Xuan Ziwen asked.
"Senior Keke went to do a mission. She seems to have received quite a few missions lately," Huo Yuhao replied without looking up.
Xuan Ziwen frowned slightly, walked to Ye Nanxiao's soul guidance experiment table, and reached out to push Ye Nanxiao's shoulder.
"Wake up and get to work!" Xuan Ziwen said.
"Huh? What homework? Haven't I already finished all the homework I missed? If you have any new homework, I'll owe you it for now and pay you all at once when I've accumulated enough." Ye Nanxiao said, opening one eye.
"Can't you act like a senior student?" Xuan Ziwen said, covering his forehead.
"Just find someone to give it to him, anyone will do, just don't ask me, I'm stuck here!" Ye Nanxiao said with a big yawn.
"I never expected that as Teacher Xuan's student, you would be such a good-looking but useless fellow. Teacher Xuan, I now seriously suspect that you just picked a student to deal with me because you were too lazy to do anything else. I will report this truthfully to Director Lin!" Lan Xiu said with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
Ye Nanxiao's behavior showed that he didn't take Lan Xiu seriously at all. Being brought to the laboratory by Xuan Ziwen meant that he had enough strength and knowledge, but Ye Nanxiao didn't even linger on him. This made Lan Xiu, who considered himself a genius, feel that he had been despised.
"And this senior shouldn't be so sure of himself. I've heard about your deeds before, and I thought you would be a qualified strongman. But now it seems you're not much different from those good-for-nothings." Lan Xiu said provocatively.
Xuan Ziwen frowned and said, "Lan Xiu, I didn't bring you here so you could be disrespectful to your seniors and provoke them recklessly."
Lan Xiu said, "I'm sorry, teacher, but I've always been someone who only tells the truth."
Upon hearing someone belittle Ye Nanxiao, Huo Yuhao, who had been engrossed in his work, instantly looked up, his eyes icy as he stared at Lan Xiu, and coldly said, "Since you want some guidance, then I'll oblige!"
Lan Xiu glanced at Huo Yuhao and said, "Senior Huo, please don't be in a hurry. I'm trying to communicate with Senior Ye right now. If the communication fails, it means that Senior Ye looks down on his juniors. It's not too late to ask Senior Huo for advice later."
Ye Nanxiao rubbed his ears, stood up, and combed his messy hair. He looked at Lan Xiu and said, "Whatever you're going to do, hurry up and don't waste time."
Seeing that his provocation had worked, Lan Xiu clasped his hands together and then threw out nine balls of blue light.
"This is my life-bound soul tool that I have been refining all this time! Please give me your guidance, Senior Ye!" Lan Xiu manipulated the Nine Luminaries into a long whip and swung it down at Ye Nanxiao.
"Nine Luminaries, Lan Xiu." Ye Nanxiao recognized the name. He had heard that a student was constantly challenging older students, using a soul tool that he had continuously researched and upgraded. After each victory against an older student, he would claim that the soul tool he had continuously researched, upgraded, and evolved was the strongest.
"Speaking of which, these nine spheres are also a rebound soul tool, with a large amount of spiritual power attached to them. Is this kid a spiritual soul master?" Facing the long whip that was about to fall, Ye Nanxiao crossed his arms, as if he were in a trance.
Xuan Ziwen raised his right hand slightly. Lan Xiu had previously said that he only wanted to show off his "Nine Luminaries" in front of Ye Nanxiao and did not need to fight too much, so Xuan Ziwen brought Lan Xiu to the laboratory.
However, Lan Xiu chose to take the initiative to attack, so Xuan Ziwen had to intervene to prevent the soul power of the two from leaking out and damaging the laboratory facilities.
A faint golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He was also curious that someone would use a rebound-type soul tool as their natal soul tool.
"Mental manipulation? What would happen then?" Ye Nanxiao stretched out a finger and pointed at the long whip in the air.
"Arrogant!" Lan Xiu snorted coldly.
But the next moment, he felt as if the connection between himself and "Nine Luminaries" was nailed to the air, and he could not control it.
"How is this possible!" Lan Xiu exclaimed in shock. He tried to use the backup control method to drive "Nine Luminaries" but "Nine Luminaries" did not respond at all.
"What happened? Lan Xiu's control has been taken away?" Xuan Ziwen asked in confusion.
Fearing being affected, Huo Yuhao, who had slipped to Xuan Ziwen's side, provided an explanation: "Lan Xiu used his mental power to manipulate these nine spheres, so Ni Jiang chose the most direct and violent method, forcibly covering Lan Xiu's mental power with his own, preventing him from issuing commands to the nine spheres."
"I never expected that Muddy's mental strength would be this formidable," Huo Yuhao said, clapping his hands.
This simple, direct, and incisive battle left him in awe of Ye Nanxiao's powerful combat analysis ability. He instantly analyzed his opponent's fighting style and then launched a strong frontal attack to break through.
"I lost." Seeing that he could not control "Nine Luminaries", Lan Xiu simply admitted defeat.
"Goodbye." Ye Nanxiao tossed "Nine Luminaries" back to Lan Xiu, yawned widely, and slumped into his chair.
Lan Xiu paused for a moment, then turned to look at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, stretched out his left hand and aimed it at the "Nine Luminaries" in Lan Xiu's hand, his spiritual power surging out.
As "Nine Luminaries" made various shapes in front of his face, Lan Xiu fell silent again.
Why did I encounter two monsters with unbelievably strong mental abilities today?
Before he came, he stayed up all night to do a lot of research. Both Ye Nanxiao and Huo Yuhao are ice-attribute soul masters. Ye Nanxiao has shown powerful soul skill ability, while Huo Yuhao has a set of powerful fist techniques.
The characteristic of "Nine Luminaries" is that the stronger the attack it encounters, the greater its counterattack effect.
Who knew that these two would end the battle simply by using their mental power?
A mechanical voice came from the direction of the main gate: "Access requested. Entry permitted."
A young man carrying an iron sword and a girl wearing a lab coat walked in.
Seeing that someone else was entering the laboratory, the disheartened Lan Xiu immediately turned his attention to the two people who had just walked in.
He desperately needs a fight to prove himself.
"Are these two also worthy of a challenge?" Lan Xiu asked.
He wanted to regain some confidence; he was just unlucky to have encountered two mentally strong oddballs.
"There's a fight going on!"
Ji Juechen's ears twitched slightly; he heard Lan Xiu's words.
Reaching out of his back, he took out the iron sword, and a sharp sword intent rose from Ji Juechen's body.
Under the influence of Ji Juechen's sharp sword intent, Lan Xiu felt as if his spiritual power had encountered a terrifying soul beast, unable to move and only being torn apart.
Lan Xiu paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the smiling Jing Ziyan.
"Forget it. Jing Ziyan is also a researcher at Mingde Hall, and one of her main research areas is against soul-guided devices. There's still a big gap between your strength and hers," Xuan Ziwen reminded him, noticing that Lan Xiu was already greatly discouraged.
Moreover, Lan Xiu provoked Ji Juechen first. This expressionless man is Jing Ziyan's darling. If Jing Ziyan is unhappy and destroys Lan Xiu's "Nine Luminaries", the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's team for the next competition will be one member short. He doesn't want to be bothered by Lin Jiayi.
"Okay." Lan Xiu managed to utter a single word and strode towards the door.
His steps were very, very slow.
What was his original purpose for coming here?
"Greetings, Teacher Xuan/Chief Xuan." Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan bowed to Xuan Ziwen and said.
Xuan Ziwen is the chief researcher of Mingdetang, and Jing Ziyan is also a researcher at Mingdetang, so Xuan Ziwen is addressed as chief.
"Um, what is your application?" Xuan Ziwen asked.
"Chief Xuan, we've come here to find Ye Nanxiao," Jing Ziyan said.
Xuan Ziwen nodded and followed Lan Xiu. He was responsible for taking the person back. Given Lan Xiu's current state, he felt it was necessary to explain to Lin Jiayi that Ye Nanxiao and the others had not used their soul power levels to suppress people, but had only used one move.
"Still here? What's up?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"I was originally planning to move, but someone threw some information at me and told me to study it myself before running off. I had absolutely no clue about some of the problems! So I came back here." Jing Ziyan took out a notebook filled with her questions about Tang Sect's soul-guided hidden weapons.
When it comes to soul tools, Jing Ziyan is the kind of person who will get to the bottom of things.
Unable to figure out anything about soul-guided hidden weapons, Jing Ziyan simply ran back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy to find Ye Nanxiao.
"Ahem, I've been a bit busy lately, and I trust your brain," Ye Nanxiao said decisively, making excuses for himself.
Ji Juechen, holding the iron sword, stared at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Are you busy?"
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then replied, "It's alright, not too busy."
"Shall we go have a couple of rounds?" Ji Juechen gripped his iron sword, his eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit.
"I'm pretty busy right now." Huo Yuhao crawled back into his soul guidance experiment table.
"Didn't you say you weren't busy just a moment ago?"
"Then go fight me from a moment ago! Don't touch me!"
