Chapter 324: A Qi Luck Riot? The Researcher's Madness

The three of them reached the peak of their tacit understanding, acting as if their minds were connected. Xiao Qing controlled the water flow, Wang Zhenqiu guided the Earth Vein Power, and they coordinated with Lin Xuan to mobilize the Qi Luck, forming a perfect combat rhythm.

"Impossible!" The Mysterious Person's expression became extremely ugly. "A mere Inner Core awakening, how could it possibly influence so much?"

The long-haired female researcher quickly analyzed the data: "No, it's not a simple awakening! He seems to have truly seen through the essence of Qi Luck; this has already exceeded the scope of our research!"

"Then forcibly terminate him!" the Mysterious Person ordered sternly. "Activate maximum power!"

The researchers frantically fiddled with the equipment, attempting to push the energy output to the limit. However, this approach only made the situation worse.

Lin Xuan clearly saw that as the equipment power increased, the originally harmonious Qi Luck Power became increasingly chaotic. In some places, energy distortion and ruptures even appeared!

"Must stop them!" Lin Xuan thought to himself. He began to try to guide those chaotic Qi Luck, as if weaving a large net, bringing all the out-of-control energy back onto the right track.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing immediately understood his intention. Her Water-type Spell turned into countless fine streams, coordinating with the flow of Qi Luck Power to begin repairing those broken energy links.

Wang Zhenqiu was not to be outdone; he channeled the Earth Vein Power, stabilizing the foundation of the entire underground space to prevent a collapse caused by energy overload.

"This is impossible!" The Mysterious Person looked at everything before him, his voice filled with disbelief. "Why has it become like this? We have clearly been researching for so many years..."

Lin Xuan ignored his astonishment and focused on stabilizing the situation. Through the sensing of the Nine-Pattern Inner Core, he finally understood an important truth: Qi Luck Power was never meant to be controlled, but should follow Nature, circulating in endless cycles.

"Your experiment is destined to fail," Lin Xuan said calmly, "because you have violated the fundamental laws of heaven and earth."

The Mysterious Person's expression was uncertain: "So many years of hard work... is it all to be in vain just like this?"

"Not entirely in vain." Lin Xuan's tone softened a little. "At least you let me understand the true meaning of Qi Luck. Now, it is time to end all of this!"

The light of the nine golden patterns grew increasingly dazzling; Lin Xuan felt as if he had merged into one with the entire world. All changes in Qi Luck were within his perception, and even the most minute energy fluctuations were clearly visible.

At this moment, he finally had the certainty of victory!

And the Mysterious Person, watching all this, had an increasingly twisted expression on his face. Because he knew clearly that the development of events had completely exceeded his control.

As time passed, Lin Xuan's mastery of the abilities after the Nine-Pattern Inner Core awakening became more and more proficient. Golden Qi Luck Power circulated around his body, and every fluctuation contained profound truths of heaven and earth.

"Over there!" Lin Xuan suddenly shouted, simultaneously striking out with a palm. A golden light flashed, and an invisible energy was immediately deflected from its path.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, a researcher's sneak attack missed. That person looked in surprise as their energy beam was easily neutralized: "How is it possible? How did he discover it!"

Lin Xuan sneered: "Under the guidance of Qi Luck, your every move cannot escape my perception."

Indeed, through sensing the flow of Qi Luck, he could not only predict the enemies' movement trajectories but also see through the laws of their energy operation. Whenever someone prepared to launch an attack, the flow of Qi Luck would produce subtle changes.

"This brat is too dangerous!" the Mysterious Person gritted his teeth. "Must eliminate him immediately!"

Before the words had even faded, he suddenly pulled out a blood-red crystal and crushed it fiercely in his palm. "Since that is the case, then activate the final plan! Even if it destroys this place, the experiment must be completed!"

"Oh no!" Xiao Qing sensed the danger. "He wants to perish together with us!"

The entire underground space suddenly shook violently, and the Runes on the walls all lit up with blinding red light. The originally regular energy flow became violent and began to converge toward the center.

"Boom!"

A massive energy vortex formed in the center of the laboratory, and a terrifying suction force swept through the surroundings. Not only was stray energy being forcibly extracted, but even life force was being drained!

"Ah!" Several weaker researchers were directly sucked into dried corpses, turning into fly ash and dissipating in the air.

"Madman!" Wang Zhenqiu roared, "He won't even spare his own people!"

The Mysterious Person's expression became ferocious: "To break through the limitations of the End of Dharma Era, what is a little sacrifice like this!" His body began to glow, clearly having activated some kind of life-saving device.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he suddenly realized something: "Wait, this vortex... could it be that he wants to forcibly trigger a Qi Luck riot?"

"That's right!" the Mysterious Person laughed wildly. "As long as the energy accumulates to a certain level, the entire Luck Network will be forcibly reset! By then, new rules will be born!"

"You're crazy!" Xiao Qing said sternly. "Doing this will cause the laws of heaven and earth to collapse!"

However, the Mysterious Person had already fallen into madness: "Collapse? Hahaha! That's perfect! Let this rotten system be completely destroyed!"

The energy vortex grew larger and larger, and the suction force became stronger and stronger. Even a powerhouse like Wang Zhenqiu had to channel his full True Qi to barely stand firm.

But Lin Xuan revealed a faint smile: "So that's how it is... this is actually an opportunity!"

"What?" Xiao Qing looked at him, puzzled.

Lin Xuan explained quickly: "Since this vortex is connected to the entire Luck Network, it means it is possible to control the system through it!"

Wang Zhenqiu's eyes lit up: "You mean..."

"That's right!" Lin Xuan nodded. "As long as we can seize control of the vortex, we can regain control of the entire network!"

No sooner said than done! Lin Xuan immediately began to deploy: "Xiao Qing, you are responsible for controlling the water-type energy to try and slow down the vortex's rotation speed. Wang Zhenqiu, use the Earth Vein Power to stabilize the space; don't let this place collapse!"

"Understood!" the two replied simultaneously.

Supported by his companions, Lin Xuan began to operate the Nine-Pattern Inner Core with all his might. Golden Qi Luck Power gushed out, contending with that violent vortex.

"Don't even think about it!" The Mysterious Person was anxious upon seeing this. "Increase the output for me!"

The remaining researchers frantically operated the equipment, and the vortex's suction force increased abruptly. But Lin Xuan remained motionless, the light of the nine golden patterns growing ever brighter.

Under the guidance of Qi Luck perception, he began to gradually infiltrate his own power. It was like weaving a large net, shrouding the out-of-control energy bit by bit.

"This is impossible!" The Mysterious Person looked at everything before him in disbelief. "A mere junior, how could he possibly control such a massive system!"

Lin Xuan ignored his questioning and focused on the task at hand. Through the sensing of the Inner Core, he clearly saw the overall structure of the Luck Network.

It was an incomparably exquisite system, with all energy flowing according to specific laws. And the Mysterious Person's experiment was like a rusted key, forcibly inserted into this perfect gear assembly.
