The stolen magic is a bit magical

Suddenly, a seven-colored light appeared in the snow turtle's eyes, circling and layering, and then its whole body was enveloped in white light.

A figure appeared in the white light.

It seems to have no substance at all, just a phantom.

When the phantom encountered the white light, it was as if a snowman had encountered boiling water; it twisted violently and retreated.

Although the phantom had no facial expression, its sudden retreat showed how panicked it was.

Yixiang was also surprised, and a glass container in her hand slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground...

This is the entire process of attacking Yixiang.

It was all recorded by the high-definition surveillance cameras in the laboratory.

This is also the only image left behind by this mysterious killer.

Under normal circumstances, he is completely invisible.

It will only appear under the white light of the snow turtle.

Even when it appears, it doesn't resemble a real person at all; it's more like a phantom of a primordial spirit.

Lin Xiaosu's heart pounded, and she was completely confused.

A phantom of the primordial spirit?

impossible!

No one in this world has ever reached the second level of enlightenment: the Enlightenment Spirit.

Even the top giants of Kun Cang, people who are regarded as gods by the world, cannot do it.

In the secular world, it theoretically cannot exist.

If it exists, it should absolutely not just be one of Hydra's kings.

Furthermore, the primordial spirit roams the heavens and earth, and its methods of killing are incredibly profound.

If it were truly a primordial spirit roaming the world, let alone a genetically engineered human like Lan Yao, even Lin Xiaosu himself would be easily wiped out; it would be impossible for him to survive being killed.

In fact, this phantom without any physical attack power was not enough to erase the Blue Demon's consciousness.

This shows that it is not actually that powerful.

It can demonstrate the unique ability of the primordial spirit to travel in spirit, but it lacks the true power of the primordial spirit.

There is only one possibility: it's some kind of special gene.

Genes have three stages: germination, awakening, and nirvana.

The Shadow King has existed for many years, back when the concept of Nirvana didn't exist.

He can only be an awakened one.

Perhaps the genes of living organisms are also so wondrous, capable of awakening a magical ability that is not the primordial spirit, yet is quite similar to it...

Lin Xiaosu's thoughts drifted far away for a moment.

Lan Yao turned her gaze to him: "The Shadow King appears without a trace and disappears without a trace. According to the records of Qianlong, no one has ever seen him. Therefore, our understanding of him is almost a blank. I now sincerely hope that your detective skills can reach an unbelievable level and find this person to deliver a fatal blow! If he doesn't die, the Soul-Slaying Gu strategy cannot be effectively implemented!"

The sudden appearance of the Shadow King.

On the one hand, it poses a fatal threat to the Hidden Dragon Gold Medal, who is carrying out the Soul-Bearing Gu Plan.

On the other hand, it also indirectly hindered the grand strategy of the Soul-Bearing Gu.

The atmosphere that Qianlong had worked so hard to create—"coming to Jiangcheng means being reborn"—was shattered by Youying Tianwang.

The Shadow King conversely creates the message that "you will die if you come to Jiangcheng!"
What do you expect from those who dream of a new life?
If we don't go to Jiangcheng, we can at least live; if we go to Jiangcheng, we will surely die!

Why would they still go?

If one person thinks this way, another person thinks this way, and everyone thinks this way, then the grand strategy of the Soul-Slaying Gu will be broken.

This seems to be a problem for a superstar.

In fact, this is the deep waters where Hydra and the Hidden Dragon are locked in a battle.

Lin Xiaosu raised her eyes: "Hidden Dragon has been fighting Hydra for so many years, and there hasn't been a single Heavenly King who could restrain Shadow Heavenly King?"

"In terms of actual combat strength alone, I am considered one of the weaker members of the Heavenly King team. Youying can't kill me with just his mental attacks, so he doesn't pose a significant threat to the Heavenly King team. However, restraining him isn't something that can be solved by combat strength alone," Lan Yao answered truthfully.

"Where's Thunderclap? This super king, who's said to be able to settle the world with a single thunderclap, can't even settle things against this Shadow?"

Lan Yao said, "Jing Lei is currently in the Middle East, where another Nirvana cultivator has emerged. Apart from him, no one can confront him, so he has no time to attend to Jiang Cheng."

Lin Xiaosu nodded gently: "I understand the situation! It seems that I have no choice but to challenge my limits."

A glint flashed in Lan Yao's eyes: "How do you plan to proceed?"

"Here's what you're going to do: send out a message that we're welcoming a group of important people tonight at 10 p.m. This is a very important matter, and everyone in the training center must ensure that everything goes perfectly!"

Lan Yao frowned slightly: "Are these people here for real or just for show?"

"Don't underestimate the enemy's intelligence gathering ability. To lure him here, it has to be real."

“That…that’s very risky!” said the Blue Demon.

"We have to do it, even if it's risky!" Lin Xiaosu said. "We'll prepare Yixiang's sachets for the people we bring in in advance to prevent them from being harmed by the 'Soul-Calling Incense'."

“We’ve been doing this for a while now. Before key figures enter Jiangcheng, we arrange a meeting place and provide them with sachets,” Lan Yao said. “But we can only prevent the Soul-Calling Incense from activating the Soul-Giving Gu. We still can’t avoid the invisible and intangible damage from spiritual power. And once he uses his spiritual power to kill this group of people, outsiders will still think that the Soul-Giving Gu killed them, and the negative impact will be the same.”

"Leave the mental power part to me!"

Lan Yao stared at him for a long time: "Mental strength... just how much resistance do you have to mental strength?"

What? Are you worried I'll be gone?

Lan Yao's already complicated expression grew even more complicated as she glared at him: "Isn't that obvious?"

"If I die, is there any compensation? How much is it?"

"Your joke isn't funny at all..." Lan Yao was speechless.

"Don't worry!" Lin Xiaosu patted her shoulder: "You need to understand what mental strength is. Mental strength is closely related to intelligence. I'm so smart that I'm almost mad, how could my mental strength not be... resilient? That damn Shadow King, trying to wipe me out with mental strength, he's just dreaming!"

"That's it..."

Before Lan Yao could finish speaking, the door to the reception room suddenly opened.

Yixiang ran in, calling out "Brother!" with a deep and lingering voice.

But she stopped abruptly after she uttered the words.

Even though my heart was pounding, even though I'd been working away from home for two weeks and missed my brother every day, I couldn't overcome the shyness in my heart. There were other people around…

Lan Yao smiled slightly: "I'll make the arrangements!"

He went out.

The door is closed.

Yi Xiang sprang up and threw herself into Lin Xiaosu's arms.

From the bag hanging in her hand, the snow turtle's head poked out, gave Lin Xiaosu a disdainful look, and then withdrew its head.

"My little darling, did you miss me?"

"Ok!"

After giving a soft "hmm," Yixiang felt a little embarrassed and quickly added, "I don't know anyone here except for Sister Lanyao."

"No one bullied you, right?"

"How could they dare? Sister Lan Yao is taking good care of me, providing me with the best food, drinks, and lodging... Brother, you're home?"

"Ah."

How are your parents?

"That's great..." Lin Xiaosu said, "I heard from Lan Yao that you've been busy in the lab?"

“Yes, my father always had a wish to see if he could combine modern genetic technology with the Gu techniques passed down through generations of our Miao people. He couldn’t achieve it, but I want to try…”

Listening to her words and smelling the fragrance of her hair, Lin Xiaosu felt a slight ripple in her heart.

Her father, a legendary sorcerer from the Miao region, who inherited the most ancient Gu magic from his ancestors, actually had such an understanding.

Gu Dao, an ancient form of genetic modification.

Genes, the modern man's magic.

The two are actually interconnected.

They all focus on the living organism itself, using the combination of biological genes to form strength and abilities that surpass those of ordinary people.

This theory is very profound.

That generation of sorcerers died young, and their great theories could not be turned into reality.

The new generation of witch god followed the path that her father had explored halfway through.

Originally, Yixiang didn't have this opportunity either.

Modern tech giants who specialize in genetic modification, who would believe in ancient witchcraft?

But times create heroes, and times also change destinies.

As a key component of the Life Soul Gu grand strategy, Yi Xiang is stationed at the Changsheng Group.

To be honest, there wasn't much to do. It was just a matter of receiving people who had been poisoned by Gu, and having the snow turtle take action to suck out the Gu worms and eradicate the Gu scourge.

But now, she wields the sword of authority.

She can enter the laboratory and use various experimental materials to verify the fusion of her ancient Gu with genetic technology.

That's why she's so busy.

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "So, you might not want to go back to the Miao village in the future."

“We definitely have to go back!” Yi Xiang said. “Chairman Ding also said that he plans to invest in building a base in Miao territory. He is also very interested in Gu Dao. I never expected that the chairman of such a large group would have such a high level of understanding of genes and Gu Dao.”

"Chairman Ding? Ding Lizhong?" Lin Xiaosu was taken aback.

"Hmm, Brother, you don't know yet? Changsheng Group has changed its chairman. Chairman Ding has replaced Chairman Lei. I heard that Chairman Lei is in big trouble."

Lin Xiaosu could only sigh inwardly.

A butterfly flapping its wings can create a tornado on the western shore of the ocean.

I, this little butterfly, am probably destined to be both compatible and incompatible with the Changsheng Group.

Because of him, Changsheng Group has changed its chairman twice.

Ding Lizhong, a bookworm born purely for science, actually climbed to the position of chairman.

Based on my own opinion of him, this chairman is probably someone who doesn't sit in the office for many years.

Ding Lizhong's support for Changsheng Group to build a base in Miao territory is completely understandable.

Yi Xiang couldn't understand how a chairman could be so knowledgeable in professional fields. That was because she lacked understanding of Ding Lizhong. Ding Lizhong's professional knowledge was beyond her comprehension.
This old guy's unconventional approach to technology and his keen insight into it are truly exceptional.

The daytime hours are thus spent.

In the evening, the grand show began.

Inside the training center, in front of the flying machine, more than ten people stood solemnly.

Looking forward to it.

Most of these dozen or so people are robots.

Only two people are real.

Lin Xiaosu and Lan Yao.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, having more people is not an advantage; on the contrary, it is a hindrance.

How rare is the Hidden Dragon Gold Medal?

From a purely resource perspective, nurturing a potential gold medalist is almost equivalent to the value of an amount of gold.

Losing even one is a huge loss.

But in the face of someone like Shadow King, a gold medal is as worthless as grass.

Therefore, robots were used instead.

Anyway, they weren't the main targets of the sniping.

The real snipers were Lan Yao and Lin Xiaosu.

Lan Yao was truly unsure.

The night wind blew, and her heart pounded like a war drum.

A glance from Lin Xiaosu gave her a lot of confidence, because that glance was calm and composed. (End of Chapter)
