Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: Involvement (Long Chapter Asking for Monthly Tickets)

"Pain, pain, pain, Minister He, pain, pain, pain—"

Amidst the girl’s clawing cries, He Ao’s fingers intertwined, moving sideways between her shoulder blades as if he were dancing.

He glanced at the girl who was making a fuss, his voice calm and cold, "Endure it."

The temporarily released pressure was like a giant hand pressing down on Ye Ying’s throat, making her feel a chill at the back of her neck, and her initial cries of pain turned into elongated hissing sounds.

The girl suddenly clenched her teeth and didn’t make any more noise.

Ye Yun, from a distance, looked over here, seeming somewhat nervous, then he hesitated for a moment, turned his gaze away, and started talking with the person beside him.

Ye Ying didn’t look up at her brother either but kept her head down, feeling the pressure of He Ao’s fingers.

She knew very well that He Ao hadn’t used any real strength, but even these light presses seemed to press directly on her sensitive nerves, making her feel a piercing pain.

He Ao raised his head to look at the little girl in front of him.

In fact, he didn’t expect that just his words could make the girl endure it.

But he didn’t say much and continued to press on the points on Ye Ying’s back.

The pain on the transcendent path is much more than this; this is just the beginning.

However, if this girl can hold on, perhaps she will go even further than He Ao anticipated.

The premise is that she can survive.

"Hiss—"

When He Ao’s fingers pressed on the two points at Ye Ying’s lower back, he could clearly hear the girl involuntarily gasp in pain.

At that moment, He Ao also withdrew his hand.

He looked at Ye Ying, "Good, practice what I just taught you once more."

Ye Ying blinked her eyes, turned around, and looked at He Ao.

She also seemed surprised that she actually managed to endure it. She looked at He Ao, a flash of awe in her eyes.

Just now, the momentary pressure He Ao released made her almost unable to breathe; in a trance, she even smelled a suffocating scent of blood in this peaceful ’training ground.’

The ground was covered with corpses and white bones beneath her feet, and the silhouette behind her was the one who single-handedly created this mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

"Yes, teacher!"

She looked at He Ao and nodded heavily.

The young man in front of her was still gentle and amiable, as if the momentary ’pressure,’ the mountain of corpses, and sea of blood covering the sky and earth, were just her illusion.

But precisely because of this, she developed an even deeper respect for the young man in front of her.

How many people who have come this far are truly benevolent and amiable?

It’s just that they don’t wish to show that sense of oppression to their subordinates and juniors.

And what’s terrifying is not only that pressure but also the ability to control it with ease.

If the first time she met He Ao, she felt about He Ao as a gentle and kind ’idol,’ the second meeting made her feel he was an intelligent and wise ’friend.’

At this moment, in her eyes, He Ao had become an unfathomable legend.

And with that change in mindset, her actions began to become cautious.

She began to carefully recall the movements He Ao had just taught and raised her hand again to start with a preparatory stance.

He Ao calmly watched Ye Ying’s changing movements, nodding slightly.

He wasn’t trying to scare Ye Ying on a whim; his behavior changed entirely because of a shift in their relationship.

Before, Ye Ying was just a little girl he could communicate with on equal terms, so being a bit more lenient was fine; this ’leniency’ shortened the distance between her and Ye Ying, but it also made her lose awe of him.

Therefore, when he truly started teaching Ye Ying, even if she knew in her heart to learn seriously, in front of He Ao as a ’friend,’ it was difficult to maintain a high degree of seriousness and urgency.

People tend to be lazy, and when learning from a ’friend,’ they may think, ’It’s okay to be a little off; after all, my friend will understand.’

Then, they become more complacent.

So when the relationship changed, He Ao had to establish authority and pressure, not to assert status but to give Ye Ying a ’pressure,’ letting her feel the urgency, calm down, focus, and seriously learn.

Of course, after wielding a stick, one must also offer a carrot.

He had, in fact, applied just enough force to allow Ye Ying to bear it. That approach would nurture her confidence in learning.

Thus, he deliberately held back, stopping at the limit Ye Ying could bear, and then withdrew his hand.

This way, Ye Ying had a sense of achievement from ’overcoming difficulties,’ which often motivates people to learn earnestly.

"Turn the right wrist out a bit, too far, then a little back."

He Ao watched Ye Ying gradually changing her movements and spoke calmly.

What he taught Ye Ying was actually simple, the basic fist technique he taught Lin Chichi and others.

This fist technique can help cultivators better grasp the flow of their internal energy and assist them in Qi Induction.

Most of the normal energy pathways in Ye Ying’s body had already broken down, and the martial arts training methods He Ao mastered were no longer suitable for her; it was difficult for her to conduct martial arts training using the methods He Ao obtained from childhood books.

But the main purpose of He Ao teaching her this was not to cultivate martial arts but to let her understand her energy pathways and gain a better awareness of her physical state.

At the same time, he also wanted to see if actively ’mobilizing’ energy could help her maintain the operation of some energy pathways, delaying her ’death.’

Of course, the idea was optimistic, but Ye Ying ran into problems as soon as she started ’cultivating.’

Her small and distant energy pathways were too narrow and secluded, with many points tending to break, so she could not accurately sense her energy pathways.

He Ao had to immerse his divine sense into her body to forcibly expand some narrow nodes, allowing her energy to flow more smoothly.

The ’pressing’ he just did was actually utilizing his divine sense to assist in expanding Ye Ying’s energy pathways.

And the effect of doing this was evident. This time, just executing the basic fist technique once, Ye Ying turned around, surprised, looking at He Ao, "Minister He, it seems like I’m sensing a bit of energy flow as you mentioned."

"Not bad," He Ao nodded calmly, "Again."

Ye Ying was slightly stunned, then gently nodded, and began practicing again.

Mistakes still occurred during the process, but after being ’instructed’ by He Ao, they were quickly corrected.

After practicing just two or three times, she no longer made any mistakes.

She seemed to have an invisible ’intuition’, naturally allowing her to align movements into the most reasonable direction.

Then He Ao no longer instructed her, just let her continue practicing, resting briefly every five sets.

Then he slowly got up and walked towards the adjacent lounge.

"Minister He, about my sister..."

At this time, Ye Yun cautiously approached, glancing at Ye Ying, diligently practicing, and asked carefully.

"We can only try," He Ao looked at Ye Yun and gently shook his head, "I also don’t know if it will work."

Saying this, he turned back to see Ye Ying practicing, then looked back at Ye Yun and spoke softly, "I need to take a rest, I have to think about it."

Then he turned and walked into the adjacent lounge.

Ye Yun turned his head to look at Ye Ying, who was biting her teeth in practice, and he fell silent for a moment.

He was well aware of his sister’s wild personality. She looked obedient and well-behaved, but deep down, she was stubborn as a mule, and he couldn’t control her at all.

Yet He Ao managed to train Ye Ying to be so well-behaved in such a short time, practicing so diligently, that it felt like the sun had risen from the west for him.

Though he hadn’t felt the oppressive aura He Ao directed at Ye Ying just moments before, he knew that the ’Minister He’ before him had some teaching tactics.

He felt both fortunate that his sister seemed to have hope and amazed that,

this person knew a bit too much...

It seemed that every time he gained a little more understanding of He Ao, he could feel that suffocating pressure a bit deeper.

He took a deep breath slightly, heading toward one of the high-intensity training rooms, he couldn’t fall behind either.

······

Click—

He Ao gently closed the door to the rest room and locked it.

This was a single-room rest area with simple bedding and a sofa.

Ye Yun had just told him the ’use’ of such a rest room, it was prepared for those who trained overnight.

Glancing at the bedding on the bed, He Ao slightly clenched his fist.

For some reason, as his fate connection with Ye Ying deepened, the ’recovery’ speed of the Trapped Destiny Plate also accelerated somewhat.

To be precise, the ’connection’ between the Trapped Destiny Plate and him had grown a bit stronger.

Strictly speaking, this kind of ’influence’ was illogical.

A girl from the Main World, with a specially gifted constitution and a soul close to nature, could affect the ’state’ of an Above Angel item, wandering who knows how long beyond time and space, just repaired by the system.

This carried a hint of the absurd.

But all unusual problems must inherently have their logic, it’s just that He Ao hadn’t found that logic yet.

He had a vague feeling that this intrinsic logic might have something to do with a high-level Martial Arts promotion.

Ye Ying’s ’illness’ might also find its answer within the Trapped Destiny Plate.

As he pondered, he moved his mind to tug at that invisible connection.

Then his body suddenly vanished from the rest room.

Ruins

"The 195 Research Institute, Super Cold-Tolerant Special Biological Research Room."

He reached out to wipe away the moss on the wall. He Ao looked at the alloy plaque on the wall with the First District’s words written on it and read softly.

In the previous relics of the bygone days, through memorizing the dictionary, he had already mastered a portion of the commonly used words in the First District.

As he spoke, the droplets of water on his hand that had not yet dried had already condensed into ice crystals.

"Super Cold-Tolerant Biologicals?"

Listening to He Ao’s words, Li Cheng turned his head to look at the deep pool of water behind him.

He wasn’t surprised that ’Hao Yi’ recognized the words in the ruins, on the contrary, if ’Hao Yi’ didn’t recognize them, that would surprise him.

He slightly furrowed his brow, "So, there should be some kind of biologicals cultivated in this pool?"

"But when we swam over, there was nothing in the pool."

He Ao brushed off the ice crystals on his hand and shook his head lightly, asking casually, "Did you see any strange creatures the last time you came here?"

"No,"

Li Cheng shook his head, "I didn’t enter the pool, I just lured a monster chasing me to jump into it. I originally just wanted to hinder its movements to buy me some time to escape, but it turned to ice as soon as it came in contact with the water, melting into the pool."

He also brushed the ice crystals off himself, glancing at the pool behind him, "I don’t know about this pool, but the one we just came through, the Research Institute collected a lot of data. Explorers used mechanical scopes to check it, and there was never anything below."

"Hmm,"

He Ao nodded slightly, casting a glance at Li Cheng’s spear, then at the deep, stone-wall-like surrounding walls and the deep pool at the wall’s end, "You said a monster chasing you fell into the pool and cracked into an ice block. Over the years, there must have been more than one monster falling into the pool."

He paused, continuing softly under Li Cheng’s puzzled gaze, "But when we swam here just now, we didn’t see any debris below, not even bone remnants."

Hearing this, Li Cheng was slightly stunned and looked back at the deep pool behind him, nodding softly, "Indeed."

He Ao withdrew his gaze, brushed off all the ice crystals from himself, "This place is filled with weirdness, and we haven’t even entered the true Angel Domain yet, so we’d better be a little more cautious."

"Hmm."

Li Cheng nodded, brushing away all the ice crystals from himself, then looked at the stone-paved path beside him, extending toward a deep, dark narrow door, "Let’s go this way."

"Alright."

He Ao nodded lightly.

The two walked along the road out together.

As their figures completely left, the ice crystals, like snowflakes, that had just been brushed off the ground gently squirmed, then slowly ’melted,’ turning back into the pitch-black cold pool water, flowing back to the original deep pool along the damp cold ground.

The mirror-like calm deep pool water rippled slightly, creating circular ripples as if a droplet fell from above into the pool’s surface.

Also, as if, something in the pool’s depths gently blew a bubble.

Trapped Destiny Plate

He Ao lowered his head, looking at the strange ’ruins’ in front of him.

After entering the Trapped Destiny Plate again, he was drawn into not the urban ruins where he obtained the cultivation method but a place completely different from any scene in his memory.

Here, there were no plants, only what seemed like an endless Gobi Desert and yellow sand.

Broken swords, scattered war chariots, and snapped banners all told the tale of a fierce war that once took place here.

In the moment before the world’s destruction, this was once a huge battlefield.

The weapons on this battlefield leaned more toward cold weapons, with almost no evident signs of hot weapons, but were filled with various seemingly powerful giant weapons.

Including a giant hammer with a head as wide as two men, a half-broken sword still reaching two meters, and knives and swords that looked incredibly sharp with a chilling aura.

He Ao casually picked up a cold, shining slender sword from the ground; the sword’s length was about a meter, icy to the touch, possessing no extraordinary power, but judging from its quality, it was at least a C-level weapon.

Boom—

He Ao raised his hand and swung lightly, slicing a sonic boom into the tranquil air.

He raised his head and looked toward the end where his sword’s tip pointed.

There stood a steep and ’weird’ mountain.

One side of the mountain was undulating rocks, indistinguishable from other mountains, while the other side was a smooth, slanted plane.

It was as if a sharp sword once sliced from top to bottom, diagonally downwards, directly ’shearing’ off the mountaintop.
