Chapter 344: Chapter 171: Kidnapped a Professor

’Did the Daoist misjudge?’

’Or can this Spiritual Ability User who has awakened increase their realm in a short time?’

Wang Jixuan furrowed his brow in thought, refraining from acting rashly.

At this moment, the two were locked on to each other, and any reckless move would trigger a full-force assault from the other.

Visible to his Spiritual Sense, Fu Jian had detected the anomaly in the Spiritual Ability Wave here, and would probably arrive in about fifty seconds, which meant...

’The Daoist doesn’t have to fight to the death, just delay for fifty seconds,’

Wang Jixuan’s gaze flickered slightly as he resisted the urge to use the Devil Skill directly and stared into the other’s eyes.

’Aren’t you going to make a move?’

Professor Shen slightly raised her chin, her eyes, which consistently lacked much emotional fluctuation, now showing a hint of impatience.

’You knocked them out and collected the data from here; is your purpose to come here and spy? Dumb?

’No.’

Wang Jixuan’s voice, processed through electronic noise, came through, and then there was no more.

Professor Shen’s left hand slowly lifted, her slender fingers opening one by one, as the lab’s scalpels began to converge in front of her palm.

The assistants had already hidden behind the operating table.

Their mental fortitude was quite good; they immediately chose to duck and cover, watching carefully from their position.

Wang Jixuan employed a tactic:

[Hype].

’You’re no match for me,’ he said simply, ’Mo Feng and Huo Rong both died at my hand.’

—Actually, it wasn’t all Hype; he just didn’t want to use Devil Skill for now, and the preparation wasn’t too thorough. He had no large array composed of drone groups.

Indeed, this move was quite effective.

Professor Shen’s actions became slightly hesitant.

Without lowering her left hand, she merely said:

’Indeed, I’m not very skilled in combat and lack practical experience. I’m no match for Huo Rong, but that’s no reason for me to just sit by and wait for death.’

’You’re studying the Preacher?’

Wang Jixuan crossed his arms, trying to relax, using his body language to express contempt for Professor Shen in terms of combat power.

As expected, this research-focused A+ Spiritual Ability User became even more cautious upon seeing this.

Wang Jixuan spoke as if discussing household matters: ’How much do you know about the Preacher? Have you ever communicated directly with the Preacher?’

’No,’ Professor Shen furrowed her brow, ’I’m just studying the Preacher’s mimicry principles for some Mech applications.’

’Are those Spiritual Ability Mechas in the warehouse your work?’

’They’re from my team.’

’You want to use the Preacher’s mimicry principle to modify those Spiritual Ability Mechas?’

’Yes,’ Professor Shen pushed up her ’glasses’ out of habit, then remembered she no longer needed to wear them since she had completed the Spiritual Energy infusion.

Professor Shen spoke quickly:

’Is this all you wanted to ask? Or are you trying to take me back to D5 to serve Fu Jian? If it’s the latter, I need you to do one thing.’

’What?’

’Kill Fu Jian.’

’That’s impossible,’ Wang Jixuan said leisurely, ’I can’t just kill my old buddy.’

Curiosity flickered in Professor Shen’s eyes: ’Are you one of those old monsters who has lived for over a hundred years too?’

’I don’t particularly like the term old monster.’

Daoist Wang chuckled inwardly.

This troublesome individual was really chatting with him?

He smoothly asked: ’You have some kind of hatred for Fu Jian.’

’Yes, my grandfather died over fifty years ago in the war. He was just a researcher but was killed by a Half-human Mecha’s blast.

’My father died in a conflict twenty years ago. He was still just a researcher, but he was blown up by the Special Team from D5... half of the base, completely destroyed by a few thermobaric bombs.’

Professor Shen gazed at the Half-human Mecha:

’So tell me, should I hate him?’

’He was just struggling against the Six Elders.’

’But my family and I became the casualties of that struggle.’

’So,’ Wang Jixuan lifted his chin towards Professor Shen, ’You imbued yourself with Spiritual Energy, becoming a Spiritual Ability User? And you were also inspired by Spirit Cultivators?’

’Do you hold that many secrets?’

Professor Shen was visibly surprised, a flash of confusion in her naturally peach-blossom-like eyes:

’Spirit Cultivators aren’t those secrets zealously guarded by those six old guys? Why do you know about them?

’Oh right, the fourth wall that Fu Jian took fifty years ago has already been triggered by you guys.’

’You’re half right, to be honest, I don’t really care for the technical details of spiritual cultivation. I find it somewhat beneath me.’

Wang Jixuan smiled:

’Is there a possibility that I once imprisoned Huo Rong’s soul and learned many things from her?

’Like her real name is Li Shujuan, she always believed that eating high-protein foods would make her skin fairer, even though she no longer had the ability to reproduce, she still particularly enjoyed pretending to be in her thirties to attract young men.’

’However, I’m now more interested in you, Professor Shen.’

’Since you’re studying the Blade Beast, you must know that it’s a creation of the Spirit Cultivator civilization, but it went rogue and developed into a powerful civilization on its own. The Blade Beast and the Spirit Cultivators became mortal enemies.’

’Are you trying to master more of the Spirit Cultivator’s technology by studying the Blade Beast?’

’I have a question, with your abilities, your technology, and what seems to be a very intelligent brain... logically, you should be under the protection of Spiritual Ability City, so why are you staying in this godforsaken place?

’Were you ostracized?’

’Or did they want you to research something you didn’t want to do, and you refused? Your reaction tells me, it seems like that’s the case.’

’I hate chatting with you.’

Professor Shen pursed her lips and frowned, a pity her mask covered most of her face, only allowing a glimpse of her slightly pointed chin.

With her raised left hand slowly lowering, she said indifferently, ’Let’s get back to the matter at hand...’

Boom!

A huge explosion came from above.
