Chapter 196: Heading to Dragon Might Platform!
In the afternoon, Fang Yu returned home.
Wang Yan was at work, and Yu Yueyue went out to play with classmates, leaving only Su Lengyun alone at home.
When Fang Yu returned, Su Lengyun was wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen.
“You know how to cook?” Fang Yu walked into the kitchen and asked curiously.
“Yes, I used to work in the kitchen at Shuang Han Palace for a while,” Su Lengyun replied.
Seeing Fang Yu watching from the side, Su Lengyun softly added, “I just know how to cook, but my culinary skills are definitely not as good as Brother Yu’s.”
During the six months living with Fang Yu, he would make delicious food for her every day, and she still remembers those flavors even now.
“Take your time cooking, I’ll go to my room to study something,” Fang Yu said.
“Mm,” Su Lengyun nodded.
…
Fang Yu returned to his room and continued studying the Suppression Array obtained from the three guardians of the Zheng family.
After several days of research, he had figured out the principles of the Suppression Array.
The only remaining challenge now was how to use himself as a carrier for the Suppression Array.
The Suppression Array uses spirit wood as a carrier, which can instantly drain the true qi from people within the array.
And after the true qi is extracted from the body, it is stored in the spirit wood.
If using oneself as a carrier, after absorbing others’ true qi, it should be channeled into the meridians, refined within them, and then enter the dantian.
While the theory makes sense, implementing it is very complex.
Moreover, Fang Yu doesn’t want to absorb others’ true qi.
What he wants to absorb is the spiritual energy in others’ bodies, which is their cultivation power.
This makes it even more difficult.
Last night, Fang Yu had written down the mental techniques, and now just needed to test them.
“Should I try it now?” Fang Yu looked at the densely written mental techniques in front of him, feeling somewhat hesitant.
This kind of forceful true qi absorption technique is extremely complex, and if there’s even a slight error, it could cause meridian rupture.
But as they say, you can’t catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den.
Without testing, there’s no way to know if this set of mental techniques is correct.
So, Fang Yu sat down in meditation and began reciting the mental techniques he had written.
A moment later, Fang Yu raised both hands, palms facing the sky.
“Boom!”
There was an explosive sound in the air.
A faint red vortex of true qi appeared at Fang Yu’s hands.
At the same time, Su Lengyun, who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, changed expression.
She sensed an incredibly powerful suction force appearing nearby.
Almost instantly, all the true qi in Su Lengyun’s body was absorbed away, leaving nothing behind.
Su Lengyun turned pale, her body weakened, and she couldn’t even stand, collapsing to the ground.
Meanwhile, in the room, Fang Yu only felt a large amount of cold true qi rushing into his palms and entering his meridians.
The sudden influx of such a large amount of true qi nearly reached the limit of what his meridians could bear, and this true qi was compressed to the point of being almost uncontrollable, running wild through his meridians.
If Fang Yu’s meridians weren’t resilient enough, they might have burst directly!
Fang Yu immediately lowered his hands, stopped absorbing, and instead used his own true qi to slowly channel the absorbed true qi into his dantian.
Several minutes later, Fang Yu finally completely absorbed this true qi into his body.
At this point, his forehead was covered in sweat.
Using the body directly as a carrier for true qi was too risky.
Because the suction force was too powerful, absorbing such a large amount of true qi at once was more than normal people could handle.
Fang Yu stood up and took a deep breath.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the cold true qi he had absorbed came from Su Lengyun in the kitchen!
Fang Yu immediately left the room and went to the kitchen, where he saw Su Lengyun struggling to stand up.
“Brother Yu…”
Su Lengyun looked bewildered, having no idea what had happened.
“I’m sorry, I was testing a mental technique and accidentally absorbed your true qi,” Fang Yu apologized while grabbing Su Lengyun’s hand to transfer true qi to her.
“Mental technique?” Su Lengyun’s beautiful eyes were full of confusion as she said, “It felt like that time when…”
“Yes, it’s the Suppression Array,” Fang Yu said.
Su Lengyun looked surprised and asked, “Brother Yu, you can use the Suppression Array now?”
“To be precise, I understand its principles, but it’s not yet perfected. I need to think more about it. When it’s truly practical, I can give you the mental technique mantras,” Fang Yu said.
Su Lengyun listened in confusion and could only nod.
…
In the evening, Wang Yan had to work overtime. After Yu Yueyue returned, the three of them started having dinner.
“Brother Yu, I’m going back tomorrow,” Su Lengyun looked up at Fang Yu and said softly.
“Okay,” Fang Yu replied.
“Sister Lengyun, why don’t you stay and play for a few more days?” Yu Yueyue asked.
After two days together, Yu Yueyue and Su Lengyun had become friends.
Now that Su Lengyun was leaving, Yu Yueyue felt somewhat reluctant.
“I have some things to handle, so I must go back,” Su Lengyun said.
“When will you come to Jianghai City again?” Yu Yueyue asked.
Su Lengyun glanced at Fang Yu and said, “As long as you welcome me, I’ll definitely come often.”
“Of course we welcome you!” Yu Yueyue immediately replied.
Su Lengyun smiled gently and didn’t say anything more.
…
Late at night, in the living room.
“This magical treasure is not bad, but it’s of no use to me, so take it with you,” Fang Yu handed the Sun-Devouring Bow obtained from Gu Rulong to Su Lengyun.
Su Lengyun held the Sun-Devouring Bow with slightly furrowed brows.
“Just infuse true qi into it to use it. It’s quite powerful, but best not to use it unless necessary,” Fang Yu said.
“Mm,” Su Lengyun nodded slightly.
“Oh, right, there’s also this,” Fang Yu took out a storage bag from his pocket.
“This storage bag contains various things like pills and cultivation manuals, some of which should be useful to you.”
Su Lengyun took the storage bag and stared steadily at Fang Yu.
“Do you need anything else?” Fang Yu asked, surprised.
Su Lengyun shook her head and asked, “Brother Yu, are you going to disappear again?”
“Of course not, you can find me anytime, and I might come find you anytime too,” Fang Yu said.
“That’s what you said back then too,” Su Lengyun lowered her head, biting her red lips, and said softly.
“I absolutely won’t deceive you this time,” Fang Yu said.
Su Lengyun raised her head, looking at Fang Yu, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes hesitant, as if making some major decision.
“What’s wrong?” Fang Yu asked puzzled.
“Brother Yu, can I… hug you?” Su Lengyun asked softly.
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then opened his arms, stepped forward, and gently hugged Su Lengyun.
Su Lengyun’s whole body tensed up, even her breathing stopped.
“We’re so close already, what’s wrong with a hug? I used to carry you on my shoulders while shopping all the time,” Fang Yu patted Su Lengyun’s shoulder and smiled.
“I need to go out tomorrow too, so I should get a good sleep. Good night,” Fang Yu turned around and walked towards his room.
Su Lengyun stared at Fang Yu’s back, her beautiful eyes gleaming with emotion.
…
Early the next morning, Fang Yu didn’t see Su Lengyun, apparently she had already left.
In the morning, Fang Yu followed his usual routine, first doing morning exercises, then continuing to study the Suppression Array at home.
At noon, Fang Yu went downstairs.
A military green jeep was parked at the entrance of the community. Fang Yu walked straight up, opened the door and got in.
Inside the car sat Xia Heguang, Xia Xiaoying, and Xia Tinghe.
Seeing Fang Yu, a trace of fear flashed through Xia Tinghe’s beautiful eyes.
She still couldn’t forget Fang Yu’s brutal methods and his intimidation of her.
Fang Yu was also surprised and asked, “You’re going too?”
“After all, it’s an event that happens once every four years. She’s interested, so I’m taking her to broaden her horizons,” Xia Heguang smiled.
Fang Yu nodded and didn’t say anything more.
The Swift Dragon team members were sitting in three other cars.
It would take about five hours to drive from Jianghai City to the Central Military Region.
In the car, Xia Xiaoying was typing away on her laptop.
Xia Tinghe was wearing headphones, seemingly listening to music.
Xia Heguang looked at the scenery outside the window, his eyes contemplative.
Fang Yu was resting with his eyes closed.
When he opened his eyes again, the car had entered the central region.
“How much longer?” Fang Yu asked.
“About half an hour until we reach the Central Military Region,” Xia Xiaoying answered.
“Have people from other military regions arrived?” Fang Yu asked, squinting slightly.
