Chapter 288: Chapter 151 The Mildly Steady Dark Lord_3

She applied light makeup, her long hair half tied up and half down, her bangs carefully combed, and her perfectly straight nose gleaming with a hint of shine.

Even though they had chatted quite naturally on regular days, now, they both seemed to find it hard to initiate a conversation.

The two instances of physical contact they had before seemed to have become part of their amnesiac play.

Lingtong: "We should go..."

"Do you want to become stronger?"

Wang Jixuan brought up the topic he had been preparing for a while.

A Battle Girl might refuse to become more beautiful, but she couldn’t refuse to become more powerful!

—That’s how Master Wang understood it.

Lingtong cocked her head and asked, "Why are you asking all of a sudden?"

"Just curious," Wang Jixuan shrugged, "As you know, I have inherited a certain civilization and, in fact, I hold some keys, but I can’t bring them out yet."

"Mm, I understand. You’re afraid that if this technology falls into the hands of Spiritual Ability Users, it could pose a lethal threat to you."

"Indeed."

Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense naturally stretched out, covering a range of three to four hundred meters, which was the state he found most comfortable.

Extending the Spiritual Sense too widely would bring in too much information, quickly overwhelming his mind.

Wang Jixuan sighed softly, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze somewhat distant.

The first rule of "Peony Love Method":

[If you can’t find the mushy, lovey-dovey kind of topic, then don’t talk about it. Just make sure the topic revolves around the other person, and try not to mention yourself.]

Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "I’ve always felt that you have a lot of potential. I have massaged you so many times that I can guarantee it."

The first rule of "Ms. Wan’s Love Rules":

[Men’s compliments are often motivated by designs on women. Don’t reject such advances, yet don’t fall for the sugar-coated bullets either, lest you be seen as cheap.]

"Thank you."

Lingtong pursed her lips into a small smile, looking down at her carefully chosen sneakers:

"Actually, I’m not sure if I can really handle being a Terrifying Mecha Driver in the future."

"That shouldn’t be a problem for you."

Wang Jixuan said warmly:

"Even if you do nothing from now on, I can still make you pilot a Horror Mecha. Horror Mechas simply place an enormous burden on the body, hence the requirement for a hundred percent conversion."

"I don’t quite understand, actually. With the loyalty mecha technology like Mu Dan being so perfected, why can’t they pilot it?"

"Because of Mechanical Awakening, and it’s transmissible."

Lingtong explained simply:

"Autonomous machinery already has the risk of losing control.

"If a number of autonomous machines reaching up to several hundred thousand are activated simultaneously and even one of them develops self-awareness, the entire mechanical race will awaken rapidly.

"We’ve validated this from multiple aspects, and in the experiments, loss of control incidents keep occurring."

"So, what was originally just a transitional technology, the Half-human Mecha, has now become a mainstay of human military development."

Wang Jixuan nodded, just about to praise her courage and sacrifice when a slight pain pierced his forehead.

Is there danger?

On the edge of his Spiritual Sense, a faint silhouette flitted by, hurtling quickly in his direction.

Wang Jixuan barely caught a glimpse of a strong, mottled Qi.

What’s going on?

Suddenly, Wang Jixuan took a quick step to stand in front of Lingtong. As she showed a hint of panic, he decisively closed in on her, almost colliding with her, using her body as a shield, his hands forming sword fingers and quickly Sealing.

Gone were the days; his Spiritual Sense, now comparable to that of a Ning Dan cultivator, spread out swiftly.

Search Sky! Displaying Traces!

That Heavenly Venerable Wuliang... His Qi is so strong; it seems like he is...

Xing Dian?!
