The teor shower that night was destined to remain etched in people’s mories.
No one had ever seen teors so close to each other to form a dense teor cluster. Rather than saying that those teors dispersed from Tianjing to various places, it was more appropriate to say that they were ‘attracted’ to their owners around the nation from Tianjing.
In Xuan Nation, so of its citizens were middle-aged and elderly people were asleep, so were the young people who were still watching television programs, playing computer or mobile gas at ho, and so were students who were revising in preparation for the national college entrance examination…
The people were suddenly struck by a distant red streak of light originating from Tianjing and then fell into different states based on their situations.
Those who were more fortunate fell into a deep sleep, and when they awoke, they would beco one of the strategic combat talents the nation desperately needed;
Those who were not as fortunate lost the ga they were playing when they were struck by the red streak of light;
Those who were more unfortunate were driving or engaged in dangerous work when they were struck by the red streak of light, and their outco depended on fate and luck.
Dong Chengling belonged to the most special category.
When Ren Suo crashed into the glass panel on the balcony, Dong Chengling was so shocked and could barely maintain her stance. She was leaning halfway out of the balcony with her hands in the air and her feet were already off the ground—
Just as Ren Suo thought that he was still unable to stop the impending doom, Dong Chengling propelled herself lightly off the balcony wall, swirled one round in the air like a gymnast, and lightly landed back on the ground safely.
On the other hand, Ren Suo collided with the glass door of the balcony with a clang and was left dizzy.
“You really gave a scare when you rushed over,” Dong Chengling said as she quickly went over to help Ren Suo up. She looked at the balcony again and asked, “Did you think I was going to fall over?”
Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu who were startled by Ren Suo’s sudden action also ca back to their senses. Gu Yueyan sat on the sofa and laughed, “Although Teacher Dong is not a second-tier Practitioner yet, she has already mastered many abilities. We are only on the third floor, so she won’t be hard in any way as long as she is equipped with [Clothes].”
Ren Suo pursed his lips. It was only then that he realized a loophole in his thinking.
Unlike him, Dong Chengling was one of the ‘excellent students’ who received key training from the nation, just like Zhao Huo. Although she was not as ‘talented’ as those who managed to enter the Practitioner Institution in Tianjing, she definitely received the first chapter of the “Secret Records of Glorious Xuan”.
If what Yu Kuangtu was true, Dong Chengling’s physical condition would be far more superior than that of ordinary people after she practiced according to the “Secret Records of Glorious Xuan”. Even if she was not equipped with [Clothes] at that ti, falling from the third floor unlikely posed any dangers to her.
Ren Suo initially thought that Dong Chengling was Awakened while she was crossing the road which resulted in her being hit by a car. But just now, he thought that Dong Chengling would fall downstairs and end up breaking her leg when she was collecting her laundry.
Had Dong Chengling rely been an ordinary person, those two possibilities naturally existed. But considering Dong Chengling’s capabilities, it would be very unlikely for her to et such accidents—even Ren Suo himself need not fear most accidents in life as long as he was equipped with [Clothes].
“Are you alright? Are you not wearing [Clothes]?” Dong Chengling asked as she walked over and grabbed Ren Suo’s hand. She looked at his shoulder and could not help but shake her head, saying, “It’s bruised.”
Ren Suo was so anxious previously that he did not switch his equipped ability in ti. As a matter of fact, his own grasp of [Clothes] was only average, and he collided heavily into the glass door of the balcony.
Of course, the glass door was not a poor quality product. It was as thick as a knuckle and could not be broken by ordinary people. After all, it was not a Jackie Chan action movie; most glass doors and windows in hos were very thick and sturdy, and manufacturers would not dare to sell such panels which could break so easily.
Dong Chengling looked at Ren Suo’s bruised shoulders and arms and thought that it was both hilarious and touching at the sa ti. She grabbed his hand and said, “I should still have so dit da jow (analgesic linint) at ho, I’ll go and…”
Ren Suo said, “No, it’s alright. Don’t forget who I am, this superficial injury can be perfectly healed by myself—”
Suddenly, a red streak of light passed through the wall, through Ren Suo’s body, and landed on and fused into Dong Chengling’s body.
Ren Suo was slightly stunned as he turned to look at the clock in the room—it was 23:06.
Had the Reiki Treasure of Xuan Nation erupted?!
At that juncture, Ren Suo also felt, subconsciously, that the Reiki energy in the world seed to rise slightly. At the sa ti, however, Dong Chengling suddenly collapsed on the ground. Ren Suo squatted down and grabbed Dong Chengling’s hands, asking, “What’s the matter?!”
“I—” Dong Chengling did not manage to finish her sentence, but Ren Suo imdiately began to feel the pain she was experiencing—
—It was a pain of confusion.
The disordered and confusing sense of space quickly spread from his hands to his whole body. Ren Suo could not even let go of his grip on Dong Chengling’s hand, as if he had beco one with her.
His vision, hearing, and touch were all in disarray. Light no longer appeared as a straight line but twisted into an oddly-shaped curve. His body appeared to fragnt into parts with his right hand appearing between his thighs, his stomach appearing where his left hand was supposed to be, his mouth appearing on his forehead, and his eyes landed in his navel.
But his body signaled to him that everything was normal, and he had not been spliced by spatial division into an artwork of Picasso.
Rather than pain, it was more like a bomb—the sense of confusion made Ren Suo feel nauseous. If there was rely pain, it would make him feel extrely awake, but what he felt now was as if he had been on a bus for 72 hours, in a state of dizziness from being half-awake, half-asleep.”Access ReadReadNovelFull.live if you like watching manga,comics.
Subconsciously, he wanted to be free of that dizziness and the way to do that relied on his mind—the chaotic space seed possible to be broken with just a touch, and Ren Suo knew almost naturally that as long as he touched any part of his disordered body with Reiki, he would be able to disrupt the chaos and free himself from that disorientation of space.
His logical mind told him that he should not do so, but the intense dizziness and nausea made him rather suffer from pain than experience that.
‘What should I do? What should I do?’
At that mont, Ren Suo suddenly felt that his sense of confusion was slightly alleviated. Miraculous energy seed to flow through his body and back to its owner through his arm…
“You may let go,” Dong Chengling’s voice seed to sound from a distant place.
Suddenly, Ren Suo recalled Lin Xianyu’s experience.
When Lin Xianyu was Awakening, it was because her Awakened Ability was too powerful that she suffered multiple injuries during the process. According to various posts on the intranet, although the process of Awakening differed from person to person, those who acquired extrely powerful abilities which could affect reality would often go through such experiences to various extents.
And what about Dong Chengling?
The power of space-type abilities was unimaginable, so when she Awakened, she also experienced such a situation?
Instantly, Ren Suo knew the truth—
Dong Chengling lost her legs because she could not bear the chaos of the bending space when she Awakened, so she touched and disrupted the chaotic energy and in turn, she twisted and broke her legs so that she could be freed from the chaos!
With her capabilities, it was impossible for her to be injured in an accident.
Ugh.
Ren Suo sighed in his heart, as he slightly regained control of his body. He could barely see the girl breaking out in cold sweat in front of him, his hands stretched out along his arms and grabbed Dong Chengling’s shoulder.
“It’s lonely to eat alone,” Ren Suo said.
Dong Chengling trembled slightly, and a short mont later, the spatial chaos that Ren Suo had just been eased of began flooding his entire body again.
Is there any way…
[Ability: Heal], [Heart-Strengthening], [Unlimited Energy]…
Equipping himself with [Unlimited Energy], Ren Suo felt slightly better. He could not care more about his shortening lifespan as he used the ability.
[Hat of Cultivation and Practice], [Jade Pendant of the Goddess of River Luo]…
Unexpectedly, the [Jade Pendant of the Goddess of River Luo] greatly reduced the sense of chaos and dizziness Ren Suo felt. Recalling the description of the jade pendant, Ren Suo thought that it could be that Dong Chengling’s present abnormal state was a type of “chaotic, impure Reiki”, which was why the jade pendant was purifying a part of it?
“Brother Ren!” “Teacher Dong!”
The voice of Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu ca from all directions. Ren Suo and Dong Chengling said simultaneously, “Don’t touch us!”
In the ubiquitous sounds of wind and rain, Ren Suo heard the girls urgently making a call and was relieved. Finally, it seed that other Practitioners in the Institution would soon arrive to help.
However, just a short while later, the intensity of the chaos originating from Dong Chengling grew stronger and stronger, and even Ren Suo, who had reduced the sense of chaos by five or six layers, gradually felt it was slightly unbearable.
And Ren Suo could sense that the chaos Dong Chengling experienced was at least twice that of his. He could tell that by now her senses would have been completely shattered by the chaos of space, and she would not be able to remain fully conscious.
“Why?”
Dong Chengling’s voice resonated through the chaotic space again, and the intense feeling of nausea made Ren Suo feel numb throughout his body.
“… For no reason,” Ren Suo said.
He seed to hear the sound of nurous footsteps approaching, but the changes Dong Chengling experienced also seed to be ending. The sense of confusion washed away Ren Suo’s will like a torrent, and even his senses were dissected into nurous fragnts by the contortion of space. Ren Suo could no longer feel if his body was complete.
“Sister Ling, Ren Suo, they would be here soon!”
“Teacher Dong, Brother Ren, don’t die!”
Ren Suo felt a huge pressure crushing him, as if an avalanche was crashing down, attempting to crush his every will. But he continued to be tornted by the imnse pressure as he would not succumb to it.
Ren Suo silently lanted to himself, ‘Why did I have to act cool, now I am useless like Shapuaisi anyway.’ However, he pulled Dong Chengling closer to him and shared more of the burden of the chaotic energy from her.
He was a skillful player after all and had to make the novice be in awe of his skills.
“Do you… regret this?”
“Slightly.”
“What… did you want to tell …”
“I… I want to…”
When Ren Suo passed out completely, a grand chase was also happening in Tianjing City, thousands of miles away.
Interestingly, both the one chasing and the one being chased were closely linked to Ren Suo.
