Chapter 117 Yan Shuzhou Spits Blood
If someone else had said that, Ji Yuanzhou would have thought they were joking.
But when Miao Yin said those words, he felt like he was really going to be thrown into the Black Tide.
In an instant, Ji Yuanzhou broke out in a cold sweat.
Just then, Miao Yin suddenly chuckled: "Look how nervous you are, of course I was just joking."
Ji Yuanzhou adjusted his glasses again, not daring to reply.
Just then, Yan Shuzhou brought over the instant noodles, which ended this terrible topic.
"I'm finished eating, I'm leaving now." Seeing that someone was trying to distract him, Ji Yuanzhou immediately picked up his bowl and slipped away.
Halfway there, he suddenly remembered that his room had already been occupied by Ling and You Wenwen, and he couldn't go into Miao Yin and Tu Hao's room, so he could only sit awkwardly on the sofa in the living room.
Meanwhile, Miao Yin, having finished dealing with people's mental state, was in a rather good mood as she ate dinner. Yan Shuzhou sat next to her, holding a nine-tasseled rabbit in his arms.
After some training, the Nine-Tails Rabbit's sound resolution has improved significantly, making it more cooperative with the team than before, and it can report anything quickly.
Miao Yin glanced at the rabbit: "Did anything happen here while I was away?"
Yan Shuzhou thought for a moment and said, "After my sister left last night, we all stayed in the house. Nothing serious happened, and there were no attacks from the mutants. However, Nine-Tails Rabbit told me that there seemed to be someone talking on the ninth floor, but I'm not sure."
Miao Yin paused, "Did someone speak?"
"Hmm, it sounds like a man's voice, and it's intermittent."
That's a bit strange. Are there still living people in this hotel?
The mutant helicopter that flew down last time came from there. Logically speaking, everyone on it should have died by now.
"Let's go take a look tomorrow," Miao Yin said.
After dinner, Miao Yin called Yan Shuzhou into her room.
"Sit." She pointed to the stool next to her, sat cross-legged on the bed, and then took out a large bag of crystal cores that she had found in the lab earlier and poured them onto the bed.
Yan Shuzhou dragged the stool to the bedside and waited for her to speak.
Miao Yin pondered silently for a while, then separated all the green crystal cores and piled them at the front.
"Come on, absorb it."
Yan Shuzhou was taken aback: "Sister, are you letting me absorb all these crystal cores? What about you?"
Miao Yin didn't even look up, and said, "Never mind, just do it."
“…Okay.” Yan Shuzhou, who was always good at reading the room, didn’t dare to object and obediently picked up the crystal core to begin absorbing it.
Starting with just one or two, and gradually increasing the number, Yan Shuzhou's energy absorption became more and more skillful and faster.
A chilling power flowed continuously into the pool of supernatural abilities, filling and expanding it. When he reached the tenth energy point, he sensed the changes in the Immortal Kingdom.
Yan Shuzhou stopped what he was doing and said, "Sister, I sense a new summon."
"No need to summon, continue."
"……it is good."
Yan Shuzhou had no choice but to pick up the crystal core and continue absorbing power.
More than thirty green crystal cores transformed into surging power, coursing through his body. Visibly, Yan Shuzhou's face began to turn pale, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
Never before has a superpowered individual absorbed so many crystal cores at the same time.
Those with special abilities have always adopted a gradual approach to absorbing crystal cores, waiting for their bodies to fully digest them before moving on to the next one.
If too much external force is absorbed at once, the body may not be able to withstand it, eventually leading to collapse.
Just like the Type 3 serum that forcibly induces superpowers, causing test subjects to explode, ingesting excessive power is an extremely dangerous act.
Yan Shuzhou was very talented, and he only started to feel unwell when he had almost absorbed all the green crystal cores. If it were any other ability user, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it by the third one.
"Stop for a moment," Miao Yin said.
Yan Shuzhou then stopped, relieved.
He was already feeling a bit nauseous.
"Come on, feel your superpower. Tell me what changes it has undergone?"
Yan Shuzhou closed his eyes and carefully tried to feel the immortal kingdom.
When people with superpowers examine their abilities, they can vaguely see some manifestations of their abilities.
The clearer the shadow, the stronger one's supernatural abilities.
When supernatural abilities are depleted, these scenes also become blurry.
Miao Yin's supernatural world is a Guanyin statue surrounded by a sea of fire, with a series of temples beneath the flames.
Tu Hao's forest is a grove of wolves, Ji Yuanzhou's is an electric fence woven into the darkness, and Ling's is a plateau of endless thorns.
However, Miao Yin rarely explores her own supernatural abilities because she is very familiar with her powers and has absolute confidence in them. Even without looking, she can know what state she is in.
The first thing Yan Shuzhou saw was complete darkness. It wasn't until he absorbed the first crystal core that the distorted power illuminated his world, and he officially stepped into this wondrous realm.
After being nourished by the crystal cores, his hazy world of superpowers finally became clear.
It was an ancient city-state, with old trees and stones forming its walls. On the high-rise buildings, blue flames burned slowly, and a dark red flag fluttered silently.
Within the city-state was a deep black fog, as if some enormous creature slept within it, exhaling golden breath. From time to time, indistinct animals would dart past in the floating fog.
Yan Shuzhou told Miao Yin what he had seen.
"City-state?"
Miao Yin fell into thought.
Yan Shuzhou's superpower is truly impressive; he can materialize an entire city-state. This is the first time she has ever heard of such a thing.
The more expansive and complex the visions manifested by those with supernatural abilities, the higher their talent.
As she knew, only Blood Guanyin and Pure Snow Thorns could compare to such a personification.
If nothing unexpected happens, the fleeting black shadows that Yan Shuzhou saw were the manifestations of the summoned creatures in the Immortal Kingdom.
The Nine-Tasseled Rabbit and the Moon-Treading Pig are considered low-level.
What about the more advanced ones?
She thought of the most famous summoner in her past life, Gong Jingming, whose summoned creatures were special plants.
At first, all he could summon were small vines that could reside in people's blood vessels and suck blood, but later they turned into man-eating flowers as tall as buildings.
Yan Shuzhou's current talent is no less than his.
So……
"puff--"
Just as Miao Yin was pondering the abilities of a summoner, Yan Shuzhou suddenly vomited blood.
He fell off the chair, clutching his chest and gasping for breath as if he were dying, coughing painfully after choking on blood.
Miao Yin frowned, took a bottle of water from the Eighty-Eight Temples, and fed it to him to help him catch his breath.
After Yan Shuzhou calmed down, she asked, "What did you do?"
Yan Shuzhou's eyelashes trembled; he hadn't fully recovered from what had just happened, and his eyes still held a sense of bewilderment and surprise.
"I just... bumped into something strange..."
