Chapter 127 Conan's Physique Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy (Part 11)
The resurgence of spiritual energy brings not only opportunities to the world, but also crises and challenges.
Unlike China, foreign countries are not as peaceful. Due to the influence of their own systems and other factors, their societies are destined to be more turbulent and disorderly during this period.
"We do not believe in the government, because our God has already descended upon the world with the revival of spiritual energy!"
The brown-haired, blue-eyed fanatic spewed out a long string of English words mixed with excited emotion.
In the spacious room, the lambs, already washed, huddled together, bleating innocently.
With a flick of his wrist, the blood of a pure lamb spilled onto the ground.
Half a day later.
Another foreign cultivator discovered the crudely drawn magic circle made of blood and muttered, "Here we go again... a bunch of lunatics."
"How many cases are there this month?"
The magic circle drawn with lamb's blood doesn't even have straight lines, but you should know that sometimes some beings descend to earth through summoning simply because they need a medium!
Huaxia, Lincheng.
Without the foundation of military training, Chonghua University quickly and enthusiastically started its semester.
Although Si Yisi lives off-campus, she has breakfast and lunch on campus and spends most of her time on campus.
On her first day of school, Si Yisi dressed simply and carried a bucket containing a lively, jumping fish.
He didn't rush to dispose of Luo Yu; his intuition told him that Si Yisi might be useful in the future. Si Yisi currently appeared to be the kind of student from a poor family.
A male student wearing glasses and with a blank expression squeezed next to Si Yisi and entered the dormitory first.
As the male student brushed past Si Yisi, he was engrossed in reading a booklet. He glanced back at Si Yisi, his head held high.
"Luo Binbai".
“How arrogant…” Peng Nanyu muttered.
Luo Binbai had a haughty demeanor and seemed unwilling to get along with his roommates.
“By the way, Li Zi!” Peng Nanyu instinctively leaned closer to Si Yisi, “I heard that our beds were originally empty, but a foreigner was temporarily transferred here!”
He pointed to the bed near the door.
"Do you think my English will improve if we get to know each other better?"
Just as Peng Nanyu finished speaking, the person they were talking to walked in—
"This is holy light shining everywhere..."
The newcomer had golden, lustrous hair, and his emerald eyes seemed to reflect the sky. He was tall and slender, and the first impression he gave was that he was radiant.
If you were to describe what angels in the Bible look like, they would probably resemble this new roommate. Peng Nanyu even subconsciously glanced at the feathers that might be behind his roommate.
"Are you my new roommates?" The foreign roommate spoke fluent Mandarin with a smile on her face. "Hello, my Chinese name is George, but you can also call me by my nickname Rose."
This nickname... Peng Nanyu choked on his saliva.
"Li Banxue." Si Yisi gave him a deep look. "Why were the awakening class students assigned here?"
George shrugged and blinked. "They seem too unapproachable. Doesn't China value fate? It's fate that has given me the honor of being your roommate."
"Welcome, George!" Peng Nanyu flashed a bright smile and quickly accepted his foreign roommate from the Awakening Class.
Hey, he couldn't understand why he felt an innate attraction to Sissy and George.
Maybe it's because they look like good people?
Upon receiving the class schedule, Peng Nanyu was taken aback: "Spiritual energy sensing class... What is this? Shouldn't this be offered to awakened individuals who have awakened their spiritual energy?"
“We’re just ordinary people.” Peng Nanyu quickly realized that George was an Awakened One, and tried to salvage the situation, “Ah… you’re talking about me and Li Zi.”
An ordinary person.
Si Yisi glanced at the demonic aura emanating from Peng Nanyu and noticed that George was also staring at Peng Nanyu. Just as Si Yisi looked over, George turned his head so that their eyes met.
George nodded to Sisley, a gentle smile appearing on his exquisitely sculpted face, as if carved by a god.
Harmless, like a small animal.
But Si Yisi remembered how much Li Banxue's national destiny was coveted by people and demons, not to mention that George's performance was too perfect... This became a point of suspicion.
Si Yisi's intuition buzzed softly, reminding him of the unease.
Si Yisi nodded – it depends on what you want to do.
George is definitely not a demon like Peng Nanyu. No matter how clean such a creature is, there is always a faint trace of demonic aura surrounding him.
They wanted to devour Si Yisi's flesh and blood, unaware that Si Yisi was also craving their nourishment.
But if he really did that, the speed at which he, as the person in charge of the nation's fate, would fall into depravity would only be faster.
At that time, China will become an ocean overrun by demons and monsters, its future will be uncontrollable, and there will be no telling how much bloodshed and sacrifice will occur.
"No, it's not only those who awaken on the night of the spiritual energy revival who have the opportunity to become cultivators. The Spiritual Energy Sensing Class is a special class for ordinary people who also have the talent to awaken."
“However, in the early stages, the school didn’t know who the qualified future Awakeners were, so it was set up as a compulsory course. So… everyone has a chance.” George looked at Sissy and suddenly said, “But you… are a bit in trouble.”
George's smile deepened as he said this.
Peng Nanyu failed to grasp this deeper meaning; he interpreted it as George's provocation towards Si Yisi, and his eyebrows shot up.
What do you mean by that?
“Ah,” George said with a smile, “I mean, it will be harder to awaken later than on the night of the spiritual revival. After all, the spiritual energy in the world has decreased considerably.”
Peng Nanyu glared at George.
Bah, what kind of talk is that?
Si Yisi gave him a completely carefree and comfortable feeling, while with George in front of him, although there was still a sense of closeness, Peng Nanyu felt that there was an invisible film separating the two of them.
He called this regional difference.
It's roughly like this: Hey, this foreigner isn't subtle at all.
Unlike Peng Nanyu, Si Yisi was not naive. He met George's gaze expressionlessly, ignoring his eyes that seemed to sparkle like stars.
George's target was indeed him.
Or rather, George had no intention of hiding his interest in Siss.
Moreover, his knowledge is probably more comprehensive than that of Si Yisi.
Who is he? A foreign "dragon vein" guardian? Or is he, like Li Banxue, a manifestation of the dragon vein?
It was obvious that Luo Binbai's new roommate disdained associating with these three ordinary people; Si Yisi had glimpsed the contents of the booklet that the man carried with him—
It wasn't study material; it looked more like some kind of "awakening exercise" bought wholesale from a street vendor.
He was so eager to get "guidance" from the Awakened Ones, but he wondered what Luo Binbai would think if he knew George's identity.
A simple spiritual awakening class was held in the school's alumni hall, which was packed with people and had no air conditioning. It was an ordeal in this hot weather.
"It's so...hot."
Peng Nanyu was so hot that his breath was noticeably hot, and he became restless and uneasy in the sweltering environment.
Gradually, he didn't know why, but as he listened to the cultivator teacher speaking, the buzzing in his head became more and more obvious.
Peng Nanyu felt a lack of blood, couldn't breathe, and his vision went white as if he was about to faint.
He felt like he was suffocating!
An invisible force erupted from his body, and Peng Nanyu felt a sharp pain—no…don’t let it erupt, my body will crack and explode!
He felt something trying to forcefully burrow out of his chest, and the spiritual energy around him surged uncontrollably and wildly towards him.
"Oh dear, is this... about to awaken?" George tilted his head with a smile, saying nonchalantly, "Hold on, or you'll just... *poof*."
"He's dead."
He uttered the word casually, his eyes nonchalant.
Peng Nanyu's tears were already welling up, and his entire body was covered in a bright red color, just like the land that had been flooded by lava.
In his blurred vision, he couldn't see George's tenderness, which seemed as fragile as a bubble that could burst at any moment.
Peng Nanyu has lost control!
Si Yisi watched as Peng Nanyu struggled to cover his throat, his spiritual power accumulating more and more, almost dissipating his own demonic power!
His body instinctively created a barrier for him... but it didn't work!
Si Yisi seemed to hear the sound of the barrier shattering—crack, crack—followed by Peng Nanyu's gradual descent into death.
What an idiot...
Si Yisi now believed that Peng Nanyu hadn't specifically followed his lead to find him.
This foolish monster probably doesn't even know its own identity. Demonic energy and spiritual energy are essentially from the same source, but there's still a membrane separating them; how can one just absorb them directly?
Peng Nanyu's so-called spiritual awakening is probably just a way to unleash the power he originally possessed!
Siss didn't intend to leave it unattended, but just as he was about to make his move, George seemed to have sensed something:
Does this make sense?
He said, word by word, "Is it really a good thing to let all our efforts go to waste?"
Si Yisi replied to him, word by word, "I'm willing."
Who could bind him? Li Banxue's identity was never a chain binding Si Yisi; even if something went wrong, he would—
Power, embrace, madness, waves.
The lights in the alumni hall were dim, and it wasn't until Peng Nanyu's skin turned almost reddish that a student noticed.
"It's burning! It's on fire!"
At first glance, Peng Nanyu looked as if he were engulfed in flames. The students were so horrified by the sight that they retreated and, like dominoes, rushed towards Peng Nanyu in the opposite direction.
Si Yisi was an anomaly; he neither dodged nor avoided the situation, and even calmly patted Peng Nanyu on the shoulder.
The moment they made indirect contact through their clothes, the "magma blocks" on Peng Nanyu's skin receded like a tide, and most of the spiritual energy that was about to burst him surged into Si Yisi's body!
Si Yisi heard a malicious, sharp, and eerie laugh, each sound seemingly striking the depths of his heart.
ha……
It's useless.
He didn't even frown; his face was divided into two perfectly harmonious halves by the few slivers of white light that streamed down.
Half of them are in the light, and half of them yearn for the darkness.
Peng Nanyu's pupils widened—
"……dragon."
In the instant Si Yisi lowered his brows, he vaguely glimpsed the outline of a dragon in those dark eyes.
A... a black dragon so beautiful it takes your breath away!
