My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 52 - 46: So Soon?

"What I’m saying is, if your ability is exposed, you might get robbed too."

Wu You struggled to stand up, looked at Chen Lu Si, and replied.

Chen Lu Si heard this and raised a question mark.

He didn’t remember speaking just now.

"...Sorry, my authority ability went out of control."

Wu You realized something, came to his senses, and said, "I heard before that at the moment the core of the stone is condensed, the authority ability might get a certain enhancement, but the cost is it will go out of control for a while... Seems it’s true. But this happened too fast, I wasn’t prepared at all.

However, this just proves that the authority ability has already transferred to the ’stone’ inside, which is a good thing."

Chen Lu Si was a bit curious, "What do you mean... authority transferred inside the ’stone’?"

Wu You pointed to his heart and explained, "Many empowerers refer to the ’stone’ condensed at the heart as ’divine format’ precisely because after the core is condensed, the authority ability theoretically imprinted deep in the soul will transfer to the heart stone, turning from ’innate’ to ’having substance’."

"Isn’t that a reverse upgrade?"

Chen Lu Si was stunned for a moment, recalling Lu Hao’s scene after the stone detached, unable to use Blade Control Authority, asked, "Does this mean, when facing an opponent with a ’stone’, all I need to do is smash the stone at their heart, and their authority ability along with techniques based on it will be rendered useless?"

"Actually, when facing an average empowerer, if you can pierce through their heart, it doesn’t matter whether the stone breaks, they would definitely die, after all, it’s the heart, the most important part of our body."

Wu You spread his hands and continued, "However, your theory does make sense... I’ve also heard similar sayings before, but you know our cultivation process, don’t you?"

"First, forcibly absorb spirits to survive the adaptation period; then, let the flesh accommodate the spirit, allowing it to gradually spread throughout the body; finally, after reaching a certain stage, let the spirit penetrate into the blood to keep it coexisting with the surge of the blood."

"After these three stages, once the spirit concentration in the blood reaches a certain level, the quantitative change leading to qualitative change will condense the ’stone’ core at the heart."

"The four stages are adaptation, incarnation, bleeding, and nodulation."

"Haven’t you noticed, during this process, our bodies are being gradually remodeled... giving a false impression of evolution?"

"And in this respect, the ’stone’ condensed at the heart truly has the meaning of ’divine format.’ Your statement of reverse upgrade has some truth, but this reverse upgrade isn’t necessarily a bad thing, considering our body’s remodeling process, it might even be a good thing, for example, now my authority ability has been enhanced."

"Of course, I’ve just ascended, so I’m not entirely sure about the specifics. I’ll secretly let you know after I get relevant high-tier information to look over."

"Alright..."

Chen Lu Si understood, nodded, then thought of something, and asked, "So now that your authority ability is out of control, what should we do? Can you read minds now? Do we still need to speak for daily conversation?"

"I keep telling you it’s not mind reading! It’s not mind reading! It’s Heart’s Reflection! Generally, I can only sense the most intense thought someone has at the moment, like what they’re about to say. If I focus intently, I can barely read all their thoughts at that instant, but it’s a huge burden on me.

Aside from psychoanalysis during life or death situations, I wouldn’t bother myself with this! Why does everyone think I can read minds?"

Wu You was somewhat helpless.

"I see."

Chen Lu Si noticed that Wu You probably gets misunderstood a lot.

So he didn’t continue to provoke him, but instead started forming a Spirit Ball again.

After forming the Spirit Ball.

Chen Lu Si spent some effort compressing the Spirit Ball to a size that could barely be swallowed, then looked at Xia Panqiu.

"..."

Xia Panqiu had been listening to their conversation quietly and noticed Chen Lu Si’s gaze.

She glanced at the Spirit Ball in his hand with a hesitant look on her face.

"You didn’t know the authority ability would transform into substance at the ’stone’ stage either?"

Chen Lu Si saw her expression and assumed she was shocked by the changes related to authority at the ’stone’ stage.

"How is that possible, she knows better than I do..."

Wu You heard this and also looked at Xia Panqiu, but stopped halfway through his words.

Because he sensed Xia Panqiu’s heart’s voice.

He showed a surprised expression, looked Xia Panqiu up and down, then said in shock, "Your Cloud Ascension Authority has this function too? And it can..."

"Don’t say it!"

Xia Panqiu immediately panicked, glanced at Chen Lu Si, then glared at Wu You, "And stop reading my mind! Are you an idiot?"

"Alright, alright... Xia Panqiu said she’s afraid we’ll see her gagging."

Wu You also glanced at Chen Lu Si, realized, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Feed her, then we’ll go out to rest for a bit and come back to practice using and defending against modern firearms later."

"Alright."

Chen Lu Si sensed there was more to their words, but didn’t pay much attention, just fed the Spirit Ball to Xia Panqiu, then left the gourd with Wu You.

"Ugh..."

After Chen Lu Si and Wu You left.

Even though the reaction of forcefully swallowing the Spirit Ball was still substantial.

Xia Panqiu was a tad more relaxed, not needing to suppress her gag reflex with full force anymore.

Additionally... her authority wasn’t out of control, she was clearly some distance away from condensing the ’stone.’

Xia Panqiu noticed this, looked down at her chest, her delicate face blushing as she sighed with relief.

On the other side.

Chen Lu Si and Wu You left the gourd, just as they exited the meeting room and were about to drink some water, they ran into the Si Yujie they hadn’t seen all morning.

"Taking a break?"

Si Yujie stopped with her cup and turned to look at Chen Lu Si and Wu You.

She still wore a set of black professional attire, her shapely long legs wrapped in slightly translucent black stockings, paired with similar dark high-heeled shoes, exuding a strong presence.

Just by leaving the front desk, her presence was quite strong.

No one really knew why.

"Yes."

Chen Lu Si replied, then asked, "Is there a conclusion about yesterday’s matter?"

"We found out the identity of the old lady you and Panqiu encountered."

Si Yujie holding her cup, replied, "That old lady was slightly demented before her death. Six months ago, for unknown reasons, she got stimulated and took her two granddaughters out, then sat at the middle of the road near Qinyuan and Mansion, unwilling to move. Her two granddaughters tried to pull her up, didn’t notice the oncoming vehicle, and eventually, all three had accidents."

Chen Lu Si was silent for a moment, "So it was really a ghost?"

"This isn’t clear yet."

Si Yujie sipped her coffee, "This happened six months ago, normally, even if urban legends are related to it, they wouldn’t activate in just half a year... Besides, I just received two more sighting reports, both groups of civilians claimed they saw ghosts."

"Xiaoxiao... is someone messing around?"

At this point, Wu You couldn’t help but interject, "Do we need to handle this? I’ve just ascended."

"Oh?"

Si Yujie was taken aback, glanced at Wu You, then slowly shifted her gaze to Chen Lu Si, surprised, "That fast?"
