Chapter 126 Conan's Physique Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy (Part 10)
No one noticed the researcher's distorted smile; they were stunned by the news.
"Unacceptable?" The researchers in white coats looked at the cultivators involved in the Luo Yu incident, who showed signs of resistance.
His expression was confident, clearly indicating that he was very satisfied with the conclusions his group had reached.
The researchers in front of them didn't think much of these cultivators. Many of them were mediocre before the spiritual energy revival, but after experiencing the revival, they soared to great heights.
Furthermore, their repeated defeats in the battle against the Luo Yu are obvious to all. Who would respect or take them seriously?
Before making any useful contributions, this group of practitioners, who enjoyed the best resources, were in a very awkward situation.
Therefore, the researcher who came to report unconsciously had a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
“He helped us.” Lin Anran, who was also a cultivator in a special position, looked directly at the research institute without flinching.
"Don't researchers who enjoy national resources care about evidence anymore?" she said. "To frame a practitioner who helped us out of nowhere, doesn't that make people feel disheartened?"
"Before drawing such a conclusion, please present convincing evidence."
The researcher, slightly annoyed, said, "No evidence is needed! Those filthy things are the evidence! That person's spiritual energy is mixed with these malicious impurities; it's impossible for him to still maintain a clear mind!"
"Let go..." The old man, with white hair and beard, hunched over and looking quite ordinary, cursed and banged his cane a few times.
What do you know?!
The old man had a cold and stern gaze. He was the most senior among the cultivators present and also a highly respected elder of the Taoist sect.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the spiritual power surging forth amidst the overwhelming waves—he had been fortunate enough to experience that powerful and all-encompassing spiritual power in his childhood!
"In the early days of the nation, we cultivators were fortunate enough to see the Dragon Vein directly. The Dragon Vein is a continuous mountain range, formed by the national fortune of our country! Dragons dwell at the Dragon Vein, and the nation's fortune is closely tied to this end—when the fortune declines, the nation perishes; when the fortune increases, the nation prospers!"
"That spiritual energy carries the aura of a dragon vein!" The old man's eyes darkened, and he let out a weary sigh. "The being that helped us defeat the Luo fish is definitely related to the dragon vein; perhaps it's even its guardian..."
"A cultivator who can't even recognize the nation's destiny dares to talk to me about not needing evidence?!"
The elderly practitioner slammed his cane down and retorted without any politeness: "Besides, if no one can maintain a clear mind, are you really still conscious?"
The old man's voice had barely finished speaking when it dropped to a low hue. He loudly instructed the cultivators, "Stop him!"
As he spoke, with agility beyond his years, he kicked away the researcher who suddenly picked up a glass instrument from the side and threw it at him!
The glass shattered all over the ground, but the old man's gentle yet powerful spiritual energy pushed it all away.
The researchers were immediately brought under control. This series of unexpected events happened so fast that no one expected such a reversal!
"He's probably already corrupted by what he calls filth." The old man's gaze was cold and stern, his lips pressed into a tight line. "Now, take control of all the researchers in charge of this matter, just in case!"
The researchers were mostly powerless and were subdued in no time.
Lin Anran was still recalling the old man's words—the dragon vein! Her thoughts involuntarily seemed to return to the time when the incident occurred at Anshui Lake. At the moment that mysterious helper appeared, she did feel an indescribable sense of security.
It was as vast as the sky and as expansive as the earth... When she saw that person, she seemed to see a towering mountain or a palace with green tiles and red eaves!
Looking back now, this is why Lin Anran firmly believed that the mysterious helper would never be an enemy of humanity!
The dragon vein protects the nation! It's a belief that the people have united, so how could it not give people peace of mind?
At this moment, Lin Anran should have gone with the other cultivators to deal with the researchers who had caused the problem, but she inexplicably looked at the old man—
"Grandpa Chen...?"
Lin Anran noticed that the old man, who was related to her, looked gloomy, and her eyes met Chen Liusui's.
The old man looked unwell, shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, giving the impression that a storm was brewing.
He revealed to Lin Anran some discoveries that he had not told the other cultivators present.
"Something terrible has happened—the filth found in the so-called spiritual energy is tightly intertwined with the aura of the dragon vein, and the dragon vein... has probably been corrupted!"
Chen Liusui's gaze was heavy, and a dark cloud seemed to drift in from the horizon.
"If something happens to the dragon vein, all sorts of demons and monsters will probably come out!"
Lin Anran's heart tightened—
Si Yisi was unaware that he had almost been labeled an evil creature by the authorities. He hung the Luo fish in a place where he could see it every day, and remained calm despite being stared at by it with such a mocking and contemptuous gaze.
As if he were completely oblivious to the impact of his malice, his evil thoughts accumulated more and more, waiting to overflow the riverbank when they reached a certain point.
Luo Yu's initial malice turned into disbelief—
It clenched its teeth so hard they made a cracking sound, and even its croaking laughter decreased significantly.
"Impossible! How could it not have fallen to the bottom yet—!" Luo Yu's snake eyes were so wide that they were almost bloodshot.
At that moment, the monster itself was shocked by Si Yisi's unexpected size and thought to itself, "Monster!"
In just a few days, the school reopened, which had been delayed by a month due to the revival of spiritual energy.
An awakening class specifically for students who have embarked on the path of spiritual practice has inadvertently created a long chasm between this large group of students.
It was as if stepping into that awakening class made one superior to others and entered a brand new level.
It's hard to avoid the students' mental imbalance, but Chung Hwa University completely ignores it, as if they had other plans all along.
Si Yisi understood this very well before enrolling: Chonghua University was not a sheep, but a lion or a wolf.
After the world witnessed the spiritual revival, the school underwent a rapid transformation—the survival of the fittest was intensified, turning the school into a battlefield.
While this method may not be fair to ordinary students, the absence of pressure can easily turn them into pushovers.
Si Yisi didn't have much to prepare for when he enrolled. From the beginning, he didn't plan to live in a four-person student dormitory, but instead planned to stay out overnight.
He can control his evil thoughts from affecting others, but there are still some remnants on certain personal items that could be touched if he's not careful—
It seems that Li Banxue was convicted of manslaughter before she even returned to this body.
University freshmen usually undergo military training after enrollment, but even after the admission notice is issued, there is still no follow-up on whether or not to participate in the military training.
After registering her information and paying with her bank card, Si Yisi overheard a fellow freshman asking a senior student who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Senior, is there military training after enrollment?"
"No."
"Yay!" Si Yisi heard the person cheer excitedly. He glanced at what the person was holding in their arms and realized that it was indeed a coincidence that the person was in the same dormitory as him.
"It's not good to be happy too soon," the senior chuckled coldly. "There will be plenty of ways to loosen up all your muscles later."
Peng Nanyu didn't catch the deeper meaning in his senior's words and scratched his head: "Ah... are you talking about the mandatory fitness campaign mentioned in the news? It's okay, I'm in great shape, I can handle it!"
The senior student gave another cold laugh.
His gaze at Peng Nanyu was like a snake staring at a frog. Si Yisi noticed that this senior had actually awakened spiritual power, and he harbored malice towards Peng Nanyu.
In this case, the so-called "muscle loosening" is unlikely to be a national fitness movement; it's probably just a hunting expedition by the awakening class.
Who knows... there might even be some system where older students hunt younger students.
The conflict between spiritual practitioners and ordinary people has unknowingly escalated to such a dire state.
"Peng Nanyu?" Si Yisi called out her roommate's name.
"Hey—who are you?" Peng Nanyu's view was blocked by Si Yisi, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed for some reason.
Meeting the senior's gaze, Si Yisi answered confidently, "I'm your roommate."
"Ah! Classmate!" Peng Nanyu patted Si Yisi on the shoulder in a familiar manner.
The senior student's gaze fell on Si Yisi, but soon it was as if something had stung his eyes, and he didn't know why he quickly looked away.
“Not everyone can be trusted,” Si Yisi said.
"...What do you mean?" Peng Nanyu blinked, not understanding.
Si Yisi glanced at Peng Nanyu.
Like you—your carefree and rough-around-the-edges attitude made the older students subconsciously see you as weak prey. But…
But you are a demon.
Peng Nanyu carried a faint demonic aura, but this feeling, distinct from spiritual energy, was definitely not Si Yisi's illusion. It was such a coincidence—one of her roommates was a demon.
Si Yi thought to himself, "It's true that all sorts of demons and monsters have come out. The revival of spiritual energy is really a blessing for these spirits."
However, the Peng Nanyu in front of Si Yisi was a monster who had not stained himself with blood. Otherwise, Si Yisi would have killed him the moment she realized Peng Nanyu's identity!
Si Yisi's current identity as the guardian of the nation's fortune, now corrupted, is highly coveted by evil demons; everyone wants a piece of it!
Unfortunately, he is now practically walking a tightrope over a precipice, where even the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.
“Chonghua University…starts today.” A disheveled woman stared at today’s calendar with bloodshot eyes.
She hugged the youngest son of the Liang family and poured out a whole bunch of things to him—
She repeatedly showed all the photos of the timid Li Banxue to her youngest son, repeating the same content over and over again.
"You must become a practitioner."
"The man in the photo is a murderer! He killed your father and sister, and stole our house and our things. You have to... kill him!"
"Kill, kill, kill—!"
Liang Ransheng pounded on the door from the outside: "Mom! I'm hungry, when are you going to cook!"
