Chapter 161 - 123 Insight into the Minutiae
Chapter 161: Chapter 123 Insight into the MinutiaeJi Xinghuo squeezed through the crowd, moving further and further away from the arena.
Surrounded by people, there were also many Winged People flying above, all retreating from the arena. Such a significant incident had occurred, and many spectators realized the danger, not daring to stay long.
Some wanted to keep their distance, while others wanted to watch the excitement, resulting in chaos on the streets around the arena.
Within the surging tide of people, one powerful figure after another flew overhead.
"Roar..."
One after another, three-headed Linyan Dragons landed in the arena.
One belonged to Linyan Yongfeng and was the first to arrive; the other two came flying over from the Dynasty Embassy, each carrying a legendary fighter on its back.
Ji Xinghuo looked up at the two legends and felt somewhat puzzled inside.
These two True Dragons were almost always with Linyan Yongfeng and should have the responsibility to protect the young Dragon Lord, but for some reason, today Linyan Yongfeng arrived at the arena alone, without them by his side.
He recalled the words shouted by Linyan Yongfeng.
That Mind Hacker manipulating emotions in the shadows—if it weren’t for their meddling, he wouldn’t have had the chance to fish in troubled waters.
"Linyan Jingfang..."
"Judging from this name, could it be a family feud?"
Ji Xinghuo’s magnetic field perception covered two kilometers, attempting to locate that Mind Hacker, but there were too many people within range. With over a hundred thousand spectators alone, and even more around the arena, finding a hidden target among several hundred thousand people was too difficult.
His attention returned to Linyan Yongfeng.
The young Dragon Lord was in very bad shape, having sustained many attacks, seriously bleeding, with the cut to his neck that he himself had made being the most severe. He was already at death’s door.
Actually, Ji Xinghuo had a chance to finish Linyan Yongfeng.
While taking the necklace, he could have easily followed up with another Thunderbolt Hand.
But doing so would have greatly increased the risk of exposing himself. Moreover, if Linyan Yongfeng had died, it would have surely stirred up a torrential storm.
The Linyan Family would undoubtedly turn Yunxiao City upside down to find the murderer of the young Dragon Lord.
Leaving Linyan Yongfeng alive spared him a lot of trouble.
Linyan Yongfeng had lost his necklace, but that was his biggest secret, one he could not disclose to others, leaving him with no excuse even to start a city-wide
"Insight?"
"Or keen perception?"
Ji Xinghuo thought for a moment and finally decided to call it "Microscopic Perception."
After studying it for a while, the consumption of activating Microscopic Perception was minimal, roughly 4 points of star power per minute. With his own star power, he could sustain it for nearly two hours.
Compared to Myriad Phenomena, this was really quite energy-efficient.
If he were to become a Super Mutant and his star power increased several-fold, just the recovery of star power would support the consumption of Microscopic Perception, allowing it to be activated at all times.
After studying it sufficiently, Ji Xinghuo withdrew the star power input, and instantly, that sensation of knowing everything disappeared.
The drastic contrast before and after left him feeling a sense of emptiness.
"I’ve only experienced it for a while, and it’s already this uncomfortable," he couldn’t help thinking. "Linyan Yongfeng, having used it for many years, must be suffering terribly upon losing Microscopic Perception – probably to the point of vomiting blood."
"I cannot follow in his footsteps."
Ji Xinghuo looked at the gem fragment in his hand and couldn’t help feeling fortunate.
Fortunately, Linyan Yongfeng had not been able to fuse with it and could only make it into a necklace to carry around. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to get his hands on it.
"It’s best to fuse it!"
Without hesitation, Ji Xinghuo immediately thought of the method to fuse with the Wanxiang Star Pupil.
He brought the gem fragment close to his right eye, controlled his eyelid not to blink, and touched the fragment to his pupil.
In an instant, the gem fragment disappeared.
Ji Xinghuo felt a pain in his brain, as if he had been struck hard on the head, dizzy, the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil automatically popped up in his vision, and one of the three arrows disappeared. The reaction to this fusion was much less than before, ending in a few minutes.
Everything seemed normal, as if nothing had changed.
With a thought, Ji Xinghuo activated the perceptive ability to penetrate everything and analyze deeply, entering the microscopic state!
Suddenly, his eyes widened slightly, as an unexpected surprise emerged after the fusion.
Was the fragment of the Wanxiang Star Pupil actually an expansion marvel?
