Chapter 226: Method 2

Pfft.

As these words were uttered, another male research student, Wang Long, couldn’t help but laugh.

"That’s completely impossible. You should pass the professional Feiyi Master assessment first. After that, you’ll be eligible to apply for a political audit.

Only after passing the political audit can you obtain Special Rainbow Iron to manufacture your own Flying Yi. Finally, you’re qualified to undergo co-law training. This is top secret among our eleven universities, and without the proper clearance, don’t even think about it."

"It’s that strict..." Li Chengyi furrowed his brows.

"The biggest difference between professional and amateur is not just that. The key is, professional Feiyi Masters research various tactics every day and train with a variety of equipment and weapons. Amateurs, well, they’re just playing," Wang Long said with a smile.

"That’s true," Li Chengyi sighed.

"But don’t worry, you can start by improving on basic disciplines," Tang Yuwei consoled.

"Speaking of which, Yuwei has finished her Flying Yi too, but she fell at the last hurdle of the special co-law training," Tang Zhiwei sighed.

"That’s impressive!?" Li Chengyi immediately showed a shocked expression, looking toward the unremarkable Tang Yuwei.

"So-so. It’s just... my constitution isn’t up to par... I have congenital Ortz’s disease... weak physique, and I’m allergic to gene medicine and many drugs..." Tang Yuwei looked somewhat downcast.

Li Chengyi’s expression immediately showed timely sympathy.

"That’s such a pity. If not for bad luck, Miss Yuwei, with your talent, would definitely have become a top-tier professional Feiyi Master!"

Here it comes!

This was the opportunity that boss Xindela had mentioned to him.

The naive Tang Zhiwei, thinking he could get his hands on the controlled Special Rainbow Iron just by offering some money, that obviously wasn’t going to happen.

Common Rainbow Iron could be bought from the outside, but Special Rainbow Iron was a top-notch resource that money couldn’t buy.

Becoming Tang Zhiwei’s research student and investing ten million in his fraudulent project was just for this starting point and the chance to make contact.

The focus was still on Tang Yuwei.

"Has Miss Yuwei ever considered a body replacement?" Li Chengyi asked.

"It’s futile; people with Ortz’s disease also have a rejection towards gene medicine in their brain cells. One of the most important parts of co-law training is to undergo consciousness training with medicine, and if that’s successful, one can master many seemingly unimaginable terrifying control abilities, with a huge gap even compared to regular professional Feiyi Masters..." Tang Yuwei shook her head.

"Let’s not discuss this further, everyone has their own fate," Tang Zhiwei interrupted, lifting his glass.

Seeing him lift his glass, everyone shook off the atmosphere from before and lifted their glasses to toast.

Li Chengyi’s gaze out of the corner of his eye caught Tang Yuwei. He could still see a trace of resentment and sorrow in her eyes.

Clearly, having put in so much effort and yet failing at the final hurdle, the feeling was definitely hard to bear.

And this was the breakthrough he had found!

As a Blind Spot Individual, it was impossible for him to start from scratch and learn all sorts of disciplines, nor did he have the time. What he wanted was to manufacture Exoskeleton Armor and weapons for himself with higher-grade materials.

Because Special Rainbow Iron was controlled material.

But now, Li Chengyi’s thoughts had changed; he couldn’t understand how the previous Li Shenhui’s Flying Yi had managed to move laterally all of a sudden.

With this in mind, he straightforwardly began to inquire with Tang Zhiwei.

Of course, his pretext was about a friend who had seen something...

"That... is a move from the Zhongyi Sword Technique at Zhongyi University," Tang Zhiwei smiled. "Actually, that’s not instantaneous movement, but rather an extremely brief dispersal and reassembly. It’s just that it happens so fast your friend couldn’t see it clearly."

"Extremely brief dispersal and reassembly?!" Li Chengyi was startled.

"Yes, a professional Feiyi Master has many strong abilities that ordinary people simply can’t comprehend. Enough about this, let’s drink!"

He continued to raise his glass.

After a filling meal and plenty of drink.

The group exchanged numbers and each went their own way.

Li Chengyi stood alone on the hotel room balcony, blowing in the cool breeze, pondering the previous conversation.

’It seems, the previous plan was too optimistic...’ he frowned.

’To become a professional Feiyi Master, it actually takes so much time... I can’t wait that long...’

He couldn’t help but think of the girl Tang Yuwei.

To acquire controlled material and manufacture Exoskeleton Armor and Flying Yi of his own, it might only be possible through this girl.

If it were someone else, perhaps there would be no way. But he was different...

If he could gain Tang Yuwei’s trust and help her with her congenital Ortz’s disease, then...

But Ortz’s disease could be considered more a congenital malformation than a disease.

It is a systemic neural network malformation; this is not an injury. The Radiance Field can’t repair it.

If even modern advanced medical technology was helpless against it, this illustrates the significant difficulty.

When Li Chengyi came across this information, the first thing he thought of was not the Radiance Field.

But... Mother of Heart!

If Tang Yuwei couldn’t handle the enhancement from medical technology, what about the Flower Language Technique?

Before leaving Suiyang, Li Chengyi had specifically asked Rainbow Candy and the others about their feelings after obtaining the Mother of Heart.

Everyone unanimously stated that their bodies were getting better and their spirits were improving as well.

They had received all-around enhancement.

This was why he was confident in making Tang Yuwei his breakthrough.

Moreover, the abilities of the Mother of Heart could also act as a way to indirectly control Tang Yuwei.

’However, before that, I still need to build a rapport to earn Tang Yuwei’s trust and acceptance, and then test what the uglification is like after the Mother of Heart is withdrawn...’ Li Chengyi was firm in his plans.

The power of the Mother of Heart can beautify as well as uglify.

He had witnessed beautification, but he had not yet tested uglification.

Thinking of this.

He paced a few times in the room.

’Among the Mother of Heart’s conditions, what defines true acceptance of me?’

He soon thought of a method.

Picking up his phone, he swiftly dialed a number.

"Xing Tong, come to my room, there’s something I need you to do."

"Okay."

No hesitation.

Soon the door was knocked on, then remotely opened.

The slightly damp-haired Zhou Xing Tong, dressed casually, stepped into the room.

"Boss, what do you need me to do?"

"See if you can get hold of some small animals nearby. Um... large insects are fine too. Don’t forget to bring the corresponding food, expenses to be deducted from the public funds," Li Chengyi said.

"Can it be any small animal or insect?" Zhou Xingtong asked carefully.

"Any will do."

"Understood."

The door closed.

Li Chengyi quietly contemplated his subsequent arrangements and plans as time silently slipped by.

An hour later.

Zhou Xingtong entered, carrying two small cages.

The cages were filled with scurrying lab mice.

"There’s a university laboratory nearby. I contacted them by phone and paid extra to buy about ten laboratory mice. Do you think this will do?"

"It will do," Li Chengyi nodded and smiled. With this speed and efficiency, having Zhou Xingtong as his secretary was indeed fitting.

After setting down the cages, Zhou Xingtong left without inquiring about their intended use.

The door shut, and Li Chengyi picked up one of the small cages.

He carefully observed the mice inside.

The little creatures were evidently frightened, running frantically inside the cage.

’How can I gain their genuine acceptance?’ Li Chengyi pondered.

Suddenly, he noticed that these mice seemed to have various injuries, to varying degrees.

Clearly, the laboratory staff had intentionally sold some of the injured mice.

He immediately opened the cage door and gently picked up one of the mice.

This mouse had a large scrape on its right forepaw.

"Poor little guy..." Li Chengyi extended a finger and gently approached the mouse’s injured area.

An invisible radiance field was slowly and silently released, enveloping the wound.

Soon enough,

Visible to the naked eye, the wound’s color darkened and scabbed over.

Then quickly, the scab fell off, revealing smooth, tender, reddish flesh.

An injury healed in seconds, as good as new.

Then Li Chengyi fed the little mouse some food and continued to release the radiance field to soothe it.

About fifteen minutes later,

This mouse seemed much calmer and no longer struggled carelessly on his hand.

Li Chengyi kept releasing the radiance field but reduced its intensity to make it feel comfortable and warm.

"From now on, you’ll be called Bai Yi," said Li Chengyi as he gently rubbed the mouse’s head.

After ensuring that the little mouse, Bai Yi, was gradually trusting him, no longer having an accelerated heartbeat or feeling fearful,

Li Chengyi finally began his test.

He stretched out his hand, activating the Mother of Heart Flower Language Technique in the palm of his left hand.

Invisible flower energy began to converge in his palm, condensing.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

A purplish-red spherical crystal slowly emerged.

The shadow of a Purple Magnolia flower faintly appeared within the crystal.

This crystal was named by him as a Floral Bead.

Towards the mouse, Li Chengyi placed the Floral Bead on its back, close to its fur.

Gradually, the Floral Bead silently merged into its skin and fur, disappearing from sight.

"As expected, you’ve accepted me..." Li Chengyi was pleased.

A Floral Bead didn’t need to be ingested; mere contact was enough.

However, his smiling face suddenly stalled.

Because the feedback from Evil Flower had come again.

This was the last Floral Bead, a split from the Mother of Heart, corresponding to the number of Divine Flower Positions.

So far, he had opened five Divine Flower Positions. They were Wisteria Flowers, Gladiolus, Sunflower, Feilian, and Purple Magnolia.

Therefore, there could only be a maximum of five Floral Beads.

’I knew it couldn’t be an unlimited split of Floral Beads; it turns out it corresponds to the Divine Flower Positions...’

The smile faded away.

Li Chengyi looked at the little mouse before him, observing its changes.

Bai Yi seemed completely unaware of how to use the Floral Bead’s abilities, still foolishly nudging with its snout, squirming in his palm.

Without further delay, Li Chengyi decided not to wait any longer, as his purpose was not to watch the mouse beautify itself.

Watching Bai Yi, he thought of invoking the Mother of Heart Flower Language Ability towards it.

’Do you wish to retrieve the sub-body Floral Bead?’ a formless feedback surged into his mind.

’Yes.’

Li Chengyi confirmed, then placed Bai Yi on the ground.

Hiss.

In the blink of an eye.

A strand of purple shot out from the back of the little mouse, merging into the back of Li Chengyi’s hand.

He clearly felt capable of splitting out more Floral Beads to grant anew.

As for the mouse Bai Yi, it still lay on the ground as if nothing had happened.

’Hm? Completely fine?’

Seeing Bai Yi unchanged, Li Chengyi felt somewhat disappointed.

Just when he thought there was truly no change,

Chirp.

Suddenly, Bai Yi froze in place.

It lay there, immobile as if the pause button had been pressed.

Only the slight heaving of its chest indicated it was still alive.

A subtle, viscous sound, like that of a creeping creature making its way through mud, continuously emanated from Bai Yi’s body.
