Chapter 378: 345 Destiny One

The flowering tree before him, Li Chengyi had discovered a long time ago and knew what its Flower Language Technique was, but now, with the complexities of the many Flower Language Techniques, he had to consider merging and strengthening them before this idea came to mind.

In the night, standing on the path, he once again remembered the moment he had seen the flowering tree in the botanical garden a year ago.

The purple-red blossoms, seen from afar, looked like a sea of wave foam.

He slowly walked closer, looking at the plaque on the trunk, and sighed.

Reaching out, he gently touched one of the blooming purple flowers.

The body of the flower was small, and with the touch, the entire branch also trembled slightly.

A very faint scent entered Li Chengyi’s nose.

If an ordinary person did not lean in to sniff, they would not detect the fragrance at all.

It was different from other flowers; its fragrance wasn’t a defining trait, but rather its color, the bright brilliance of the bloom.

As his fingertips touched the flower, a stream of cool Flower Essence traveled up along Li Chengyi’s fingers, chilly and distinct.

’Ziwei Flower: Belongs to the Crape Myrtle family...’

’Flower Language Technique: Power of Speech (The words you speak while using the Flower Language Technique will have a massive persuasive power over others. If the opponent cannot refute, they will be forced to get along with you peacefully, with the duration of peace depending on the opponent’s constitution.)’

’Flower Language Technique: Good Fortune (A passive ability, possessing this Flower Language Technique can slightly increase your luck.)’

This was the Flower Language Technique he thought suited him best at the moment.

It was also the dual main Flower Language Technique he wanted to try.

Luck is nebulous and abstract, so set that aside for now; the key is the Power of Speech. This Flower Language Technique, Li Chengyi thought, wasn’t primarily for use on people, but rather on the monsters in the Blind Spot that do not talk back!

Blind Spots have a troublesome aspect.

That is, in some Blind Spots, once a monster is killed, it is immediately expelled from the Blind Spot, and the next time someone is pulled in, the monster’s strength will greatly increase.

So when entering a Blind Spot, whether encountering people or monsters, it is best not to kill them.

The best method is control.

Control the opponent to ensure they cannot attack you, and then wait until you find a clue to escape; this is the best solution for dealing with a Blind Spot.

And the Power of Speech of the Ziwei Flower... what Li Chengyi had in mind was to use it in combination with the Wisteria Flower’s Hand of Obsession.

Alternating between the two, Hand of Obsession following Power of Speech, even the most intelligent person could be strongly controlled for a long time...

First, try to persuade the opponent with words, and when they attempt to refute, use Hand of Obsession to enforce control.

This causes the opponent to be unable to refute, thus activating the Power of Speech.

This was Li Chengyi’s premeditated scenario, which could also be reversed to strengthen the effect of Hand of Obsession.

More importantly, the activation of Power of Speech was covert, could be used in everyday life without notice, and easily go undetected.

’This is the one. The initial effect of the Flower Language Technique is persuasion, after evolution, who knows what will happen...’

He made a swift decision.

Li Chengyi quickly confirmed the inquiry from Evil Flower.

Soon, streams of cool Flower Essence continuously flowed from the Ziwei Flower into the back of his hand.

In the mark of Evil Flower, a new cell slowly lit up with a purple-red glow.

Following that was the accumulation of the Floral Dress.

Right now was the blooming season of the Ziwei Flowers, and with the large clusters before him, there was no shortage of Flower Essence to draw upon.

After a short while, the purple-red luminescence slowly faded.

Li Chengyi exhaled, drew back his hand, and stood under the flowering tree, experiencing the newly acquired Ziwei Flower Language Technique.

The accumulation had reached one hundred, successfully activating both the Flower Language Technique and the Floral Dress.

At his current level, gathering Flower Essence was far from as difficult as it was at the beginning—whatever he needed, a command was all it took and people would quickly find it for him.

Apart from some extremely rare varieties, everything else could easily be solved with money.

And what Mingyuan Group did not lack at the moment was money.

The significant survival of Blind Spot Individuals had made their reputation grow by leaps and bounds.

Da Xiong’s experiments had produced a number of by-products, making the hospital business flourish ever more.

Rainbow Candy, in particular, had now risen to become one of the top hackers. If not for the limitation of consuming Consciousness Power when using Heart of Convergence, she could have single-handedly reached even higher echelons.

At the very least, from the last operation, Li Chengyi had never heard of a hacker who could temporarily hack into a Feiyi Master’s Flying Yi.

Keep in mind, Feiyi Masters’ Flying Yis use completely isolated materials for safety, with communication encryption of all kinds, making intrusion exceedingly difficult.

Top hackers need a lot of preparation to intrude.

Yet Rainbow Candy just did so spontaneously.

Strong indeed was her capability.

Other businesses launched by Mingyuan Group, such as currently designed flowers, building materials, etc., under Xiao Zhong’s assassinations, were almost invariably successful.

’Now, it’s time to give it a try, to see the effect of this Flower Language Ability.’

At the Four-Winged Silent Angels, using Power of Speech to strengthen Hand of Obsession, he wondered whether it would be effective.

Having obtained a new main flower, he was somewhat eager to test the ability to see if what he anticipated could come true.

He looked around, all was quiet, and there was no one in sight.

But...

A stray cat was lazily sprawled on the lawn not far away, sleeping.

The cat was entirely gray-brown, with black wavy stripes on its back, neatly lined like ripples.

One ear was missing a piece, perhaps bitten off by something.

Li Chengyi thought for a moment, tiptoed over, and observed the cat.

Smack.

He reached out and slapped the cat.

Meow!

The ear-missing cat yowled, awakening in alarm, and leaped away, landing more than a meter distant, turning around to glare fiercely at him.

"Come and bite me," Li Chengyi smiled, with a Shadow Flash, he delivered another slap.

Smack.

The small cat was smacked in the face, its body rolling several times on the grass, and then it stood up again.

Meow!!

Its cries began to turn shrill with anger.

The subsequent slap infuriated it, and it immediately lunged at Li Chengyi’s face.

"1+1=2!" Li Chengyi exclaimed suddenly.

Meow!!

The ear-missing cat, halfway through its pounce upon hearing the voice, could only let out another meow. And then...

Thud.

With a muffled sound, the kitten let out a wail and, in a position that completely defied the laws of gravity, suddenly accelerated towards the ground.

After landing, its limbs struck the ground, digging fiercely into the grass.

The kitten became statue-like, its expression quickly turned serene as it looked towards Li Chengyi.

Then it stopped moving altogether.

"That’s it?" Li Chengyi moved forward curiously, rubbing its cheek, no response.

He tugged at its whiskers, forcefully plucking out two, the kitten let out a wail, but its gaze remained calm, allowing him to pluck away.

Thud.

Li Chengyi thought for a moment and then slapped it squarely on the forehead.

The kitten whined in pain, tumbling several meters away, then quickly flipped back up and returned to its original position, limbs piercing the ground where they were before, restoring its previous posture.

Li Chengyi thought, reached out to pick up the cat, swung it this way and that, but the kitten didn’t get mad at all, running back quickly each time, returning to its original state.

He glanced at the Evil Flower, where the section belonging to the Ziwei Flower was glowing with a faint purple light.

But this purple light was slowly fading.

’Could it be that the brightness of this light is the duration the Flower Language Ability can be maintained?’ he speculated.

To test the effect of the Flower Language Technique, Li Chengyi turned the cat over, grabbing one of its legs and swinging it wildly.

Then he tied its tail to one of its hind legs, or he threw it into the lake, and when it was about to reach shore, he threw it back again.

If injured, he immediately treated and restored it.

He tormented it for a full half hour like this.

Finally, the purple light went out, vanishing.

Meow!!!

A piercing shriek of a cat abruptly erupted, the earless cat’s gaze instantly changed, and it turned and ran.

"1+1=2!" Li Chengyi hastily shouted.

But this time, the kitten didn’t react, turning to flee far away.

’Flower Language doesn’t work, seems like it only comes into effect if the other party bears animosity towards me?’ he guessed.

Having tested the Power of Language and its ability to forcibly make an opponent get along peacefully with him, that was indeed powerful.

A mere cat did not satisfy Li Chengyi, for cats were simply too weak. But there were no enemies or opponents nearby either.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to switch to a different test subject.

Leaving the botanical garden, Li Chengyi followed the car lane toward the city area.

Walking on foot, it didn’t take long for him to find the target he needed.

There were few people on the roadway, but there were plenty of cars.

So...

Screech!

Li Chengyi stood in the middle of the road and stopped a conspicuously flashy red sports car in its tracks.

This was his carefully chosen target.

The driver of the sports car wasn’t old, at most just over twenty, donned in a Floral Dress, wearing toad sunglasses, clearly not from an ordinary family.

After being stopped, the young man stepped out of the car cursing.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!? Standing in the middle of the road like that, do you have a death wish or something?"

Li Chengyi smiled at him and without saying another word, slapped him across the face.

Smack.

The slap was resounding.

The young man was stunned.

"Come on, hit me," Li Chengyi said.

"No, I... You actually dared to hit me!?" the young man, touching his slapped cheek, challenged, "You try hitting me again!!?"

He was immediately enraged.

Li Chengyi glanced in the car and saw a beautiful girl with long hair in a red dress inside, apparently drugged with alcohol, her complexion flushed red, unconscious.

He sniffed, detecting a faint odor of some narcotic.

Smack.

Li Chengyi slapped him again.

"This is the first time I’ve heard such a request in my life."

Smack.

"Consider this a reward. You’re welcome."

Smack.

He slapped him three times in a row.

The young man’s toad sunglasses were knocked off, and his cheek turned red.

"Fuck!" The young man was furious, raising his hand to land a hefty punch.

"1+1=2!" Li Chengyi quickly voiced the command.

Thud.

In an instant, the young man’s legs stiffened and he plunged right into the cemented ground.

Anchoring his legs in place, he lowered his raised hand, his angry and irritated gaze quickly changing to one of peace and tranquility.

Standing still, he breathed gently, his hands naturally hanging down, knees slightly bent, as if standing in some sort of meditation posture.

"How does it feel now?" Li Chengyi pulled at his face.

The other man still maintained a serene smile.

"How does what feel?" The young man actually responded.

"I hit you; are you angry?" Li Chengyi was surprised, not expecting that after activating Flower Language, the other party could actually respond.

Without a real attempt, one wouldn’t know the exact effect.

"Not angry, I know you mean well, hitting me to correct certain wrongs I have. That’s why you hit me," the young man replied sincerely and calmly.

"Really?" Li Chengyi thought and then asked, "What’s your bank card PIN?"

"4522212X," the young man answered without hesitation.
