Chapter 183

And Xia Liu Agong gazed thoughtfully at Xia Yu, then his eyes shifted to Lin Yu behind him, his gaze seeming strangely odd.

But.

This matter was merely an interlude.

And Lin Yu.

Finally felt…

Just how terrifyingly inedible Seeing Xiong Ge's dishes truly were.

In the instant he ate, his body triggered some kind of protective mechanism, digesting the food in an unusual way.

"…"

After Lin Yu returned to his room.

Xia Tian and Xia Mei immediately grabbed Xia Yu.

"Big brother…"

"Don't you feel something's off?"

Xia Tian asked.

"Off…"

Xia Yu fell into thought.

"You mean…"

"Lin Yu?"

Just now, Lin Yu had spoken his name.

"It's pretty strange—his ability name seems oddly peculiar."

Xia Yu nodded.

But Xia Tian shook his head: "No, it's him…"

"When I went up to him today, the moment our eyes met, Ghost Dragon suddenly broke free from the Sealing Charm and appeared right there—if Mom hadn't shown up, I'm sure Ghost Dragon would've attacked."

"And…"

"The strangest part is, after it returned, Ghost Dragon seemed afraid—it kept sending me those messages."

"And most importantly…"

"When I just locked eyes with him, I saw terrifying black mist erupting straight into the sky from his body!"

Xia Tian spoke with serious intent.

"I saw it too…"

"When I looked at him, Ghost Child appeared instantly—and I felt fear."

Xia Mei said.

"But I didn't see any black mist or anything like that—still, I felt something eerie and black clinging around him."

Both described their first impressions upon locking eyes with Lin Yu.

After hearing them, Xia Yu fell into thought.

"Now that you mention it…"

"I think…"

"The moment I looked at him, I felt intense heat inside me—as if my blood was boiling—but the sensation vanished extremely quickly."

"Now that you say that, he really does seem suspicious."

Xia Yu grew slightly tense.

He immediately found the Ability Codex and began flipping through it frantically.

"Strange…"

"Can't find anything—could we be mistaken?"

But no matter how hard Xia Yu searched, he found no specific records related to this.

Finally.

There was no conclusion at all.

Especially.

They had specifically checked records on corrupted Ability Users—and found not a single mention.

Faced with this complete lack of information, Xia Tian, Xia Mei, and Xia Yu could only suppress their unease for now and decided to observe further.

"…Interesting."

Lin Yu returned to his room.

He had not expected.

In that instant of eye contact!

It would trigger…

Reactions in Xia Tian, Xia Mei, and Xia Yu—the strongest response came from Ghost Dragon, whose combat index and physical constitution allowed it to perceive the clearest.

Xia Mei's reaction was relatively mild.

And the most unexpected was Xia Yu.

Merely by locking eyes.

It seemed to have awakened…

A stirring in Xia Yu's inner Ghost Phoenix.

It might even, in the short term, give birth to a Ghost Phoenix—this development was beyond Lin Yu's expectations.

Of course.

This is actually...

The ghost dragon, ghost phoenix, and ghost child sensed extreme danger, so they appeared simultaneously.

"Abilities..."

Recalling how Seeing Xiong Ge had just used his abilities, Lin Yu found it very interesting.

Abilities.

Combat power index.

They are completely different.

Of course.

The energy is actually the same, but the energy of abilities seems far more complex, while the energy of the combat power index is relatively simple.

The complexity of the structure makes the energy of abilities far more powerful.

And the reason they are completely different is because abilities—these abilities—are entirely unlike the 'Sword Draw Slash' that Lin Yu uses, or rather.

The structure, energy, and method of activation differ greatly!

Combat power index.

Tends more toward...

Fight!

But the energy of abilities seems far more diverse, which is precisely why the structure is complex.

And this complexity.

Allowed Lin Yu to see...

The possibility of creating the third layer of a self-created cultivation method.

Lin Yu stayed for two days.
