My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Looking at Ji Yuan, Huo Huo couldn't stop smiling.

Huo Huo was happy that she could finally do something, all thanks to her teacher.

Although it is a bit forceful.

Huo Huo was happy, but Ji Yuan was even happier than her.

[You fought alongside Huo Huo, the Chief Judge of the Luofu Immortal Ship, against a powerful foe, helping the once steely-hearted Chief Judge overcome her lingering fear. The reward is the Stealing Yang Technique.]

Upon seeing the first half of the sentence, Ji Yuan's face showed a speechless expression.

A heart of steel, the only remaining...

Ji Yuan looked at Huo Huo, who showed extreme fear of everything around her, and wondered how so much had changed in just a hundred years.

Upon reading the second half of the sentence, his expression became even more speechless.

What the hell is this "stealing yang" nonsense?

Does the Hehuan Sect also exist in this world?

After carefully studying the technique, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This is not a technique from the Hehuan Sect, but a method specifically designed to absorb the energy of the Suiyang (a type of celestial body). Stealing Yang means stealing the energy from the Suiyang and strengthening one's own energy.

The immortal boat certainly made good use of the stamina energy, but it didn't actually absorb it into its own body. Generally speaking, once stamina enters the body, it will possess another person.

Ji Yuan's technique involves absorbing the year's energy directly into his body as a rare and precious resource for cultivation to strengthen himself. In addition, with Ji Yuan's method of controlling the year's energy, he can quickly level up as long as he has enough of it.

If Ji Yuan were even more wicked, he could find a group of Suiyang to wreak havoc and possess others, and then absorb them back into his own body, Ji Yuan's power would instantly increase significantly.

"It's a pity I'm not strong enough, otherwise I could absorb some of Huanlong's energy right now."

Ji Yuan thought regretfully to himself.

Even if he didn't gain all of the power of the Great Lord of Annihilation, Ji Yuan felt that he could still grow much stronger.

He looked at Huo Huo and patted her on the shoulder.

"Come on, let's go back."

"OK, all right."

Huo Huo followed behind Ji Yuan.

The two returned to headquarters.

Upon arriving at headquarters, Ji Yuan saw Huan Long, disguised as Ting Yun, sitting with his legs crossed in the lobby.

Upon seeing Ji Yuan, she immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

Chihiro 3 1 2 8 1 4 13 9

I'd have to find a way to shower Ji Yuan with affection whenever I see him. What on earth is Ting Yun thinking about love?!

Huanlong smiled as he thought to himself.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Huanlong sniffed and smelled a strong smell of gunpowder on him.

Seeing Huanlong like this, Ji Yuan felt relieved.

"I took Huo Huo outside to do live-fire training."

"Is that so? Huo Huo must train hard." Huan Long reached out and patted Huo Huo's head when he heard this.

The tail sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.

Huanlong tilted his head as if remembering something and said to Ji Yuan, "By the way, Lord Genyi asked you to distinguish whether the new batch of prisoners and spoils of war are disguised as Buli people."

"okay, I get it."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately clenched his fist.

Seeing Ji Yuan's actions, Huo Huo looked frightened.

My own teacher is coming again.

Huanlong feigned a speechless expression, but she was also curious.

Recognizing the disguises of the Bu Li people wasn't difficult, because the disguises of these wealthy people were ridiculously low-level. But to be able to distinguish them with just fists, even Huanlong couldn't figure out how to do it.

She was imitating Tingyun's emotions, even though she didn't know anything about it.

The seeds of curiosity began to sprout slowly.

Chapter 52 Illusion: Ji Yuan, this little bug, has piqued my curiosity even more!

Ji Yuan told Huo Huo to go and rest first.

He was a little afraid of other people around Huanlong. What if she went and did something else, and Huohuo or Changshang got into danger?

If Ji Yuan were to mistake Huanlong for some kind of virtuous person, he would be sure to die without even knowing how.

He can go with her alone.

He quietly maintained a distance, preventing Huanlong from getting close, just as he had done when facing Tingyun before.

Huanlong tried to approach quietly, but Ji Yuan silently avoided him.

However, he didn't completely avoid it, but instead looked somewhat hesitant.

It seemed like they wanted to get close, but were also a little scared.

It really piqued Huanlong's interest.

The two walked to the place where the prisoners were being escorted, and Ji Yuan found that both Genyi and Yanqing were there.

"Big brother, it's Miss Tingyun!"

Yanqing waved to the two people.

Seeing Ji Yuan and Ting Yun approaching, Gen Yi couldn't help but tease, "Oh, you two are here together again. When you get married in the future, I'll have to come over and ask for a drink."

Huanlong blushed and glanced at Ji Yuan, saying with a smile, "Lord Genyi, please don't joke around. Ji Yuan and I are just ordinary friends."

I don't believe that at all!

Even a child like Yanqing couldn't help but mentally complain.

"Alright, I'll treat you all as ordinary friends. Don't be jealous when I introduce other girls to Ji Yuan." Genyi pointed at the prisoners: "Come on, another batch of prisoners has arrived. Let's test them out properly."

"Hmm." Ji Yuan nodded, then asked Genyi while cracking his fist, "Lord Genyi, are we going to verify all the prisoners on this planet?"

How many people are left on this planet? How long will this series of punches continue?

"Don't worry, there aren't many left. This isn't a populated planet. The planets here are mostly populated by high-ranking members of the Orion Merchant Guild and some service personnel. The population is much smaller than usual. Moreover, most of the military is still putting up a last-ditch resistance, and those high-ranking members and their families have either committed suicide or are still resisting. There aren't many to verify. As for the goods, we only need to take some that are useful. After that, we will begin an indiscriminate cleanup of the planet's surface."

Completely annihilating a merchant group capable of interstellar trade seems cruel. However, considering their collusion with the Bu Li people, Ji Yuan felt no psychological pressure whatsoever.

You have to understand that the Bu Li people are a bunch of lunatics. What kind of good person would cooperate with lunatics?

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and then began to carry out the identification work.

One punch after another...

Ji Yuan resumed beating the prisoners.

Regardless of gender or age, I just keep fighting...

Genyi watched from the side, waving his hand speechlessly.

"I'm too kind-hearted to look at this. I'd better go and deal with my work."

He left silently.

Upon hearing Genyi's words, Ji Yuan inwardly complained:

To become Jingyuan's deputy general, one must be a soft-hearted person.

Never mind, let's keep fighting...

Huanlong observed carefully from the side, but still couldn't figure out how Ji Yuan had done it.

"Could he really tell whether someone was an imposter or not just by beating them up?"

Huanlong thought to himself.

If it were someone like the Envoy or the Genius Club who could do this, she wouldn't feel anything. The problem is that Ji Yuan is just an ordinary civil official.

He was someone she considered like an insect, yet he had accomplished things she couldn't comprehend. If she couldn't figure it out, Huanlong would feel a deep sense of unease.

Seeing that the armor worn by the person behind him was actually Bu Liren in disguise, Huanlong's heart stirred slightly. He secretly attached energy to Ji Yuan's fist, creating a shield between him and the person he was about to face.

Let's see if you can still detect it now.

Huanlong was thinking to himself when he saw Ji Yuan's fist strike the man.

Ji Yuan left without changing his expression.

Didn't you notice now?

Huanlong smiled to himself.

I thought he was incredibly capable.

Nothing more.

Just as she was thinking this, she keenly noticed that Ji Yuan's actions were not right.

He's about to draw his sword.

He wasn't unaware of Bu Liren's disguise; he simply wanted to maintain a safe distance.

Ji Yuan pierced the man's armor with his sword.

Click!

The armor shattered, and Bu Liren, having removed his disguise, appeared here.

Yanqing watched from the side, then quickly swung her sword and easily took down Bu Liren.

"Um!?"

Huanlong was even more surprised.

She has her own barriers in place, can Ji Yuan still verify them?
