The white beast braced itself against the ground with one hand, gritting its teeth and trying to stand up again, but failed several times.
He no longer had the strength to stand up. His soul power and physical strength had been completely exhausted in the false illusionary world created by the red mist. He had less than 1% of his soul power left. It was already a testament to his excellent physical condition that he had not gone into shock due to the depletion of his soul power.
"...Is this your illusion?"
The white beast stared intently at Linnai opposite him, finally recalling everything. After the illusion caused by the red mist ended, his memories finally returned.
Linna shrugged: "It might not be an illusion, but just a preview of what might happen in the future."
The white beast's expression darkened again.
Linnaeus said, "I've already heard about your situation from the monkey."
The white beast frowned slightly: "A monkey?"
He couldn't understand when Linnaeus and the monkey had come into contact.
"Although, do you really place your hopes on Gene Company?" Lin Nai said, "Actually, my illusion only amplified your unease and fear. What you are most worried about will be amplified in the Red Mist World, which means that you don't really trust Gene Company in the first place."
The white beast remained silent.
Of course he didn't trust them.
However, the gene technology possessed by gene companies surpasses that of any human nation in the world!
My sister's illness was caused by demonic energy, and it is almost incurable.
The monkey's cancer could be treated and healed by a high-level superhuman who could expend their soul power, but with the pollution of demonic energy, even the strongest human healing superhuman would be helpless, and conventional methods would almost certainly result in certain death.
“I can guess what you’re thinking.” Lin Nai smiled. “You think your sister is infected with demonic energy, and that apart from the gene company, there’s no chance of getting help from anyone else, right?”
"..." The white beast did not respond.
"Well, you're really lucky." Lin Nai touched his nose and said, "Because I happen to have access to gene technology that's even more advanced than that of gene companies."
"???" The white beast frowned, looking at Lin Nai with a strange expression.
A freshman in college actually dares to boast that he has mastered a level of technology that surpasses the highest level of humankind?
If an ordinary person said something like that, the White Beast would definitely think he was crazy.
But Linnaeus...
After all, he is an apostle and a player who made it to the top four of the tournament. Moreover, White Beast could sense it during the battle. Putting aside attributes, Linnai's tactics completely overwhelmed him, which shows that he has a high battle IQ. Would such a person say such mindless boasting?
What's the point of him bragging like that?
“I know you must have some doubts,” Linnaeus said. “You and the monkey are probably on the same side, right? Compared to me, you should be more likely to believe him. I think you can go and ask him.”
“Monkey…” The white beast raised an eyebrow. At that moment, he immediately remembered what the monkey had told him before the competition.
At that time, the white beast didn't pay much attention and just felt confused.
Now he understood what was going on...
"What are those two whispering about over there?"
From the audience, Meng Feifei asked, puzzled.
Hua Lingze pinched his chin, thinking: "The battle with the monkey before seemed to be similar. The two of us were fighting and then suddenly stopped."
Upon hearing this, Meng Feifei immediately understood and slapped her thigh in realization: "I get it! Brother Nai must be using his skill again—'talking nonsense'!"
"?" Hua Lingze asked in confusion, "Talk-no-jutsu?" He had never heard of such a skill before.
"That's what Brother Nai said himself." Meng Feifei shrugged. "He said this kind of chat-based gameplay is called 'verbal persuasion'... I don't know what it means, but it's probably similar to how I type taunts in the public chat to mess with the opponent's mentality when I'm playing games?"
"..." Hua Yingwen, who was standing next to her, said speechlessly, "How could that be? Do you think everyone is like you?"
Truman observed the situation in the battle scene, pondered for a moment, and analyzed: "However, the white beast's face is pale, its lips are light purple, and the soul power gathered around its body is faint and weak... These are signs of depleted soul power. Judging from the situation, Big Brother should have already won this round."
Soon, the illusionary scene vanished.
Linnaeus and the white beast returned to reality.
"Since the White Beast has lost the ability to continue fighting, Linna of the Night Watchers Academy wins this match!" The referee announced the result of the match.
The match was over, but the White Beast was still staring at Linnai standing opposite him, seemingly pondering the truth and reliability of what Linnai had just said.
Lin Nai didn't seem to intend to persuade him any further. The bait he had offered was already tempting enough; there was no need to waste any more breath trying to convince the white beast. Lin Nai simply waved his hand at the white beast: "If you want to leave the gene company, call me anytime. I treat my people very well; I specialize in helping people fulfill their dreams or resolve lifelong regrets and wishes."
White Beast: "..."
After Lin Nai finished speaking, he ignored the white beast and turned to walk off the stage.
"Nai-ge, what did you say to Bai Shou on stage just now? Did you use that talk-no-jutsu trick again?" Meng Feifei asked impatiently as soon as Lin Nai returned.
Lin Nai nodded casually: "Yes."
"Hahaha, I knew it." Meng Feifei laughed, then turned to Hua Yingwen and said, "See? I told you so, didn't I? You lost the bet, remember to give me fifty back later."
Hua Yingwen: "......"
Lin Nai glanced at them, puzzled, wondering what kind of pointless bet they were making now.
After the semi-finals, the players have an hour to rest and adjust before the finals begin.
Mu Xun sat alone in a corner of the audience and glanced at Lin Nai from afar.
The bronze, rusty sword resting on his lap, still sheathed, trembled slightly, emitting a faint, resonant sound...
Linnaeus made it to the finals, and Tang Hongshan and others were very happy.
"Linnai, you played well." Tang Hongshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Now you've finally advanced to the finals."
"Someone from our Night Watchers Academy has actually made it to the national finals! This is truly historic!" Lin Yuxi clapped her hands happily.
Then she remembered something and asked, "By the way, Lin Nai, have you seen where Wan'er went? I haven't been able to find her since the beginning."
Linnaeus did not answer the question, but simply shook his head.
Then, Lin Nai, with a serious expression, swept his gaze over Tang Hongshan, Lin Yuxi, Lao Zhang, A Guang, and the others, and said, "Everyone, there is something I need to tell you."
Tang Hongshan was stunned for a moment.
Lin Yuxi, Lao Zhang, and the others looked at each other, puzzled.
Seeing Lin Nai's serious expression, Tang Hongshan subconsciously tensed up and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
