Zhang Shaozhong was so frightened that he shrank back:
"Practice together? That's what happens when you practice together!"
Want to ramble on a bit more? With my current condition, how many times can it keep up? One more time and I'm practically dead!
"You're so stupid!"
Ye Meier looked at him with a disappointed expression.
"Who told you to force me now? We can study this slowly!"
For example, I'll first teach you a little bit of Qi and blood circulation, and the fairy will teach you a little bit of spiritual energy perception. We won't go into too much depth, just draw out a tiny bit. Then you can try that thought of 'combining' and see if the contract still responds.
Let's control the variables and carefully verify them!
She suddenly came up with the term "controlling variables," I have no idea where she learned that from.
This time, Ling Qingxue did not object immediately.
Although Ye Meier's words were rash, they did point out a possibility.
If this strange chaotic energy can truly neutralize their power conflict, even a trace of it, its significance would be extraordinary.
This may be an unprecedented path they found in this desolate environment.
"Perhaps...we could give it a try."
Ling Qingxue spoke slowly, her voice still cool, yet carrying a hint of cautious inquiry.
"But you must be extremely careful. Zhang Shaozhong, you must absolutely follow instructions. If you feel any discomfort, stop immediately. And try it no more than once a day, never more."
Seeing that the two big shots had suddenly united and were staring intently at him, Zhang Shaozhong inwardly groaned.
He felt like a lab rat in a laboratory, and a high-risk one at that.
"No... are you guys serious?"
He had a long face.
"My experimental materials are very fragile! The warranty period has long expired!"
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Ye Meier glared at him.
"Think about your wallet! Think about what you're going to eat next! Do you still want to get rid of us sooner?"
Ling Qingxue added casually:
"If this matter succeeds, it will be a great opportunity for you as well."
It's still better than this mediocre and ordinary life.
So, one used coercion, and the other used enticement (promising something in return).
Zhang Shaozhong looked at the empty refrigerator, then thought about the tragic end of being eaten into bankruptcy, and then thought about his unlucky constitution... In the end, poverty and a faint hope for "fortune" overcame his fear.
He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot:
"Okay! Let's try! But it's a deal! Just once! And you guys have to promise to keep an eye on me, and if it doesn't work, you have to get me out right away!"
"rest assured!"
Ye Meier patted her chest and assured him (her breasts were voluptuous, but Zhang Shaozhong had no time to appreciate them at the moment).
"With me and this hypocrite around, we won't die!" Ling Qingxue nodded slightly.
"I will protect you."
So, after a short rest, a cautious and meticulous experiment began.
As planned, Ling Qingxue first guided Zhang Shaozhong to sense and absorb a tiny, almost negligible amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, storing it in his dantian.
Then, Ye Meier continued, teaching him to use the gentlest method to stimulate a wisp of extremely weak blood energy, which circled his arm once.
These two weak forces were clearly distinct within Zhang Shaozhong's body, repelling each other and making him feel a little awkward, but far from painful.
"Alright, kid,"
Ye Meier lowered her voice, as if afraid of scaring something away.
"Now, just like before, think... to stop them from fighting, and put them together... and try it?"
Ling Qingxue was fully focused, a faint light flickering at her fingertips, ready to intervene at any moment.
Zhang Shaozhong's palms were sweating with nervousness. He closed his eyes, trying hard to recall the thoughts he had when he was driven to the brink of despair, silently repeating to himself:
"Don't fight...don't argue...can't we just put our heads together and play together...?"
He muttered to himself for a long time, but the two strands of energy in his body remained separate and unresponsive.
The contract in my mind was as quiet as a chicken.
"It seems...it's not working?"
He opened his eyes and said blankly.
"Was it not forceful enough?"
Night Enchantress asked doubtfully,
"You were in so much pain just now that you had that thought, now it's too gentle?"
Ling Qingxue immediately rejected it:
"No! Deliberately seeking danger is tantamount to suicide."
Zhang Shaozhong also breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that there was no reaction; safety comes first.
But just as he relaxed, his nerves loosened, and he thought with slight disappointment, "It really didn't work, all that effort was for nothing"—
The contract imprint in his mind suddenly warmed up very slightly!
At the same time, the two faint, unrelated energies within the body seemed to be briefly touched by an invisible needle, resulting in a slight collision that was almost imperceptible!
There was no pain, no vortex, and no obvious generation of chaotic energy.
but!
Zhang Shaozhong clearly felt that at that extremely slight point of collision, the two strands of energy did not clash violently as before, but instead produced an extremely subtle "stickiness," as if they canceled out some of the repulsion, and then slowly separated, continuing on their own paths.
The whole process was so fast it was almost an illusion, with almost no increase or change in energy levels.
But Zhang Shaozhong was stunned.
Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier also held their breath at the same time!
They also sensed that extremely subtle yet completely different change!
The room was deathly silent.
After several seconds, Ye Meier took a deep breath, her voice filled with unbelievable excitement:
"There's hope! There's fucking hope! Even if it's just a tiny bit! But that last one didn't explode!"
