Chapter 170: The Trump Card

Luo Yan felt uneasy under Yang Likai’s gaze.

Subconsciously, he glanced at his neck.

Then he looked out the window.

Huang Kun’s company had a profit of 55 points.

Tonight, Luo Yan’s main goal is not to dine alone.

His true goal is Huang Yuanhang.

After learning about Huang Yuanhang and Huang Kun’s relationship from Yang Likai, he came up with this plan.

He wants to test Huang Yuanhang.

Let’s assume Huang Yuanhang is the mastermind behind the Falcon Base incident.

And then test him.

He learned this from Zhao Xingcang during the day.

The results are clear.

Huang Yuanhang is not the mastermind, but an accomplice.

Otherwise, after saying those two sentences.

He wouldn’t just let himself leave like that.

Those two sentences.

The first sentence was to see if Huang Yuanhang was involved in the Falcon Base incident.

The second sentence was to make Huang Yuanhang misunderstand Luo Tianyi, and even misunderstand Luo Tianyi’s relationship with himself.

To ensure his own safety.

Yang Likai said.

Those two seemed like brothers on the surface, but often competed secretly.

So they brought Luo Tianyi into the conversation.

Huang Yuanhang will feel cautious.

In addition to the first probing sentence.

Will make Huang Yuanhang feel uncertain about himself.

In this situation.

Huang Yuanhang will definitely stay put.

Because he can’t figure out where he heard that sentence.

"Huang Yuanhang, indeed related to this matter."

Luo Yan whispered.

And upon returning to the academy.

Contacted Di Zheng right away.

Inside a plain white room.

On the table was a black chessboard.

On the chessboard.

Clear distinction between black and white.

The two colored chess pieces were locked in fierce combat.

Only one person can play chess.

This is a young woman.

She has long, smooth hair flowing down her shoulders.

Her face is natural without makeup.

Yet she has a charm that stirs emotions.

She plays chess alone.

Playing two roles by herself.

Facing off against herself.

A difficult and unresolved battle.

Suddenly.

With a bang, the door was pushed open.

Someone rushed in hurriedly, with a bit of a crying tone, "Sister Guang Qi, Susu is dead."

Another woman.

Wearing light clothing.

Red tank top, shorts, and a high ponytail.

Graceful and heroic.

But now, her eyes were red from crying.

The woman known as Guang Qi remained indifferent, lifting a white handkerchief.

Defeating the big dragon with one move.

Clearly distinguishing between right and wrong.

The outcome is already decided.

At that moment, she suddenly exclaimed.

She turned her head to look at the girl with a high ponytail.

Her pretty face looked confused.

She lagged behind in response.

"Red Moon, what did you say?"

The girl named Red Moon was not surprised by the indifferent demeanor of the cold-looking girl in front of her.

He repeated it again.

Guang Qi then said, "Oh."

Then she coolly said, "Being a killer, you must be prepared to be killed."

Red Moon clenched her fist and said, "Miss Guang Qi, I want to avenge Susu!"

"No."

Guang Qi calmly said, "Every profession has its own rules, including being a killer."

"We can kill for money, for the organization’s safety, but we cannot let emotions cloud our judgment and avenge our comrades."

"Besides, the security department has been watching us closely recently."

"Miss Ye has ordered us to ‘suspend operations’ for a while."

"Susu took on a private job, which already broke the rules."

"If I let you seek revenge again."

"Wouldn’t that make things messy?"

Red Moon lightly bit her lip, "Susu has her reasons."

Guang Qi tidied up the chessboard, "Who doesn’t."

"Go out, no unauthorized actions."

Red Moon sighed and nodded.

After Guang Qi was the only one left in the room.

She opened the computer, looked up, with a confused expression.

After a moment passed.

"Oh," she said, "I remember now, Susu tonight, took a job from the Huang family."

She tapped on the keyboard.

"Have you been to Junhao Club?"

Guang Qi was busy for a while.

He hacked into the security system of Junhao Club.

After a moment.

A video clip appeared on the screen.

It was the footage captured by the surveillance cameras in the banquet hall.

Guang Qi watched quietly.

Watched as Luo Yan went around killing one by one.

Watched how the assassin pretending to be a female servant died.

The scene froze.

On the screen, Elemental Power rose from Luo Yan’s body, and a humanoid shadow appeared.

"What is this?"

Two days passed.

That afternoon.

In the training arena.

Wei Fenghua coughed twice and nodded, saying, "Let’s begin."

Luo Yan then activated the ‘Viewing the Mountains and Seas’ technique, with Elemental Power rising.

Within the bright yellow light, a human-like figure naturally emerged.

This illusory figure had relatively clear outlines, except for the brown and gold armor, the rest of its body was quite blurry.

Despite this tall figure, it emitted an aura of gold and iron, exuding the majestic, solid, and heavy essence of a mountain.

"This…"

Wei Fenghua looked surprised and asked, "When did this appear?"

Luo Yan replied, "Recently."

Then he used mystical art to form a seal and released the ‘Black Rope.’

The originally dark and illusionary black rope now had a faint golden metallic sheen, appearing like a rope made of alloy.

Luo Yan punched the practice stake a few times.

The shadow statue followed suit and attacked the same target as Luo Yan.

Wei Fenghua circled around Luo Yan twice, carefully examining the shadow statue.

After a moment of deep thought,

He said, "Could this be… the Original Soul?"

When Luo Yan heard it, he felt magical.

He thought for two days.

He decided to ask Wei Fenghua for help.

To see what his own shadow was.

That’s why it’s being displayed here.

But now, Wei Fenghua called it the ‘Original Soul’.

Isn’t that something only in stories?

Wei Fenghua chuckled and said, "It’s not what you’re thinking."

"When I say ‘Original Soul’, it’s information about Elemental Power transformation recorded on a stone tablet in ‘Return Ruins’."

"You also know that when we practice the Visualization Technique, at a certain level, corresponding weather phenomena and illusions will appear."

"That is the manifestation of the core of Elemental Power."

"And the ‘Original Soul’ is the product that only appears when there is a transformation in Elemental Power."

Wei Fenghua also activated the ‘Viewing the Mountains and Seas,’ suddenly in a bright yellow light, thousands of mountains and vast seas of illusions emerged.

"Just as you see, these weather phenomena, these illusions."

"Belong to a passive presentation."

"They do not bring any benefits to us."

"But the ‘Original Soul’ is different, it can give a certain enhancement, corresponding to the attributes of the practiced martial arts."

"At the same time, it seems to have a certain wisdom, able to collaborate in attacks."

"And it will grow along with its owner’s growth."

"It’s like the owner’s second soul, so calling it ‘Original Soul’ is quite fitting."

Wei Fenghua coughed twice and smiled, saying, "According to the inscription on that stone tablet, ‘Original Soul’ may acquire its own name when it reaches a certain level of growth."

"If you can know its name, you will gain even stronger power."

Luo Yan couldn’t help but be surprised.

This phantom, could it really have its own name?

Wei Fenghua put away his Elemental Power, then said seriously, "However, you better not reveal it easily."

"You can normally use the original weather phantom as a disguise."

"In crucial moments, transform into ‘Original Soul’ and launch a coordinated attack."

"This way, you have gained another ace up your sleeve."
