Chapter 927: Chapter 925: Observation, Listening, Inquiry, and Palpation Chapter 927: Chapter 925: Observation, Listening, Inquiry, and Palpation In just a few exchanges, there was undoubtedly a huge amount of information.

However, as part of human nature, curiosity still prevailed over other considerations.

The activity on Wen Li’s end naturally drew Yuan Shan’s attention to her.

As an experienced Demigod, she almost immediately confirmed that the other had steadily stepped into the Fourth Phase threshold, the final journey for those below a Demigod.

And if memory served right, it hadn’t even been half a year since this individual had ascended to the Sixth Phase, this speed… by comparison, the likes of Taylor Jiang En are already as trivial as dust.

Surveying Wen Li’s gentle yet undeniably youthful face, Yuan Shan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

This world, how it had become more and more incomprehensible to her.

“How do you feel?”

At this moment, it was actually Fu Qian who asked from the side.

Having just cultivated a Fourth Phase, isn’t your reaction a bit too subdued?

Listening to Fu Qian’s tone, which sounded as if he had swallowed something, Yuan Shan couldn’t help but criticize him inwardly.

Having interacted with Wen Li recently, she was quite clear about the latter’s background.

Rapid progression was one thing, but it was clear that this individual was not prepared to ascend another level.

Yet after not seeing her for two days, she was ready for the ritual; anyone could guess that it must have been engineered by him.

“The condition has initially stabilized, and there has been some enhancement in physical fitness.”

As the main character of the ritual, Wen Li described her condition in great detail, with the seriousness of writing a lab report, her joy barely concealed.

“Did any peculiar sounds emerge?”

Fu Qian was also listening intently.

“No.”

Wen Li frowned and felt for a moment before shaking her head.

“Any abnormal resonance or amplification of the emotions you perceived?”

Fu Qian continued to ask.

“None.”

Wen Li answered more swiftly this time.

“Try using the Kaleidoscope to affect me.”

Fu Qian nodded and pointed to his head.

“Okay.”

…

Isn’t this focus a bit off?

When Wen Li hummed a tune, although she was not his target, Yuan Shan still couldn’t help but feel emotionally surging, deeply questioning life.

Having ascended not without difficulty, shouldn’t the focus be on the changes in power?

What enhancements have the original abilities received, or what new powers have been gained?

That’s how it was in our time!

While internally complaining, Yuan Shan, who was worried about being left behind by the times, still suppressed the urge and didn’t rush to voice her skepticism.

However, seeing Fu Qian sometimes closing his eyes to feel, sometimes assessing up and down, even slightly nodding his head in a diagnostic manner, Yuan Shan felt her urge to criticize fiercely burning.

“Very good, the situation is quite ideal.”

Finally, after a long half minute passed, Yuan Shan heard a review that was perfectly in character.

“Come a little closer so I can look at your hand.”

But just as she was about to speak, it appeared that Fu Qian’s examination hadn’t ended yet.

…

Wen Li’s original position was a bit far, and under Yuan Shan’s blank stare, she had without hesitation moved closer, sitting down between her and Fu Qian, laying her snow-white, delicate wrist on the table.

“It might hurt a bit, just bear with it.”

In the midst of this cliched line that makes one speechless, Fu Qian’s fingertips slowly extended, turning sharp like needles, and pricked Wen Li’s wrist.

A drop of crimson blood seeped out, followed by a bizarre spectacle–the skin around the wound actually sprouted crystal-like scales, glittering as if bedazzled with diamonds.

In the dazzling reflection, one could even make out the contorted outlines of human faces.

This is…

Without a doubt, women have little resistance to such sparkly things, and Yuan Shan and Wen Li were instantly captivated.

It really does exist.

As the two ladies were entranced, Fu Qian, too, was filled with emotion.

He was all too familiar with this scene before him; it was the skin Lady Eve had used when she was down on all fours after his own doing.

It considerably enhanced defense and greatly increased mental resistance.

This scene almost completely confirmed that Wen Li’s path to ascension was indeed a legacy left by the predecessors.

In fact, this was precisely what Fu Qian had most wanted to confirm, and to his surprise, the effect was beyond good.

Without delving deeper, Fu Qian withdrew his fingertip, and Wen Li’s wound visibly healed, the crystal fine scales slowly receding.

“It seems you’ve gained quite a bit of benefit; those scales possess significant resistance.”

Chief Yuan was a discerning person, finally unable to hold back a comment.

There was no helping it; the two’s actions were just too bizarre, and she felt her brain might knot if she didn’t speak up.

“Um… it’s indeed a very peculiar sensation, but for now, it seems I can’t control it actively.”

Wen Li reluctantly shifted her gaze away from her wrist and stood up the next moment to formally thank Yuan Shan.

“Thank you for your help. Eager to ascend without a better way, I truly apologize for today’s incident.”

“No worries, I didn’t suffer any losses.”

Yuan Shan graciously waved her hand, though her eyes remained fixed on Fu Qian.

Ascension was certainly tempting, but she still didn’t believe Wen Li had the guts to take such a risk; the whole thing was almost certainly this guy’s idea.

Only Wen Li thought herself the beneficiary, taking the blame entirely upon herself now.

“Although Taylor Jiang En’s behavior was somewhat strange, the overall process was relatively restrained.”

Of course, Yuan Shan had no expectation that Fu Qian would have an epiphany of shame.

After a two-second stare-down, the latter chose to deflect the topic, and did so successfully.

Chief Yuan pondered a bit over the information he provided at the scene.

“Do you tend to believe that pursuing Taylor Jiang En’s mistakes is unnecessary?”

“I just offer a description of the situation, not a sentence.”

Fu Qian was quite straightforward, with no intention of influencing Chief Yuan’s independent judgment.

“From the current situation, it seems he did have some restraint.”

Chief Yuan had no complaints about this and mused to herself,
“However, I need to give an explanation to the outside… This topic is too sensitive; too many people are watching.”

“That’s easy; there’s a brother called Daneta who can take the fall as the mastermind behind the scenes.”

Facing Chief Yuan’s dilemma, Fu Qian proactively brought up another conflict.

Even if he didn’t mention it now, he wouldn’t expect Chief Yuan to forget about it.

“…In any case, this evil pyramid scheme gang, which roams around seeking disillusioned youth and luring them into joining, is utterly nefarious… Fortunately, the Grand Fate Ming Emperor, perceptive to the slightest detail, lured them out, and in the end, inflicted severe damage on them.”

Fu Qian’s narrative grew increasingly passionate.

“What’s most commendable is that after doing all this, the Grand Fate Ming Emperor just walked away nonchalantly, concealing his achievements and fame, his indifferent attitude toward fame and wealth truly admirable.”

“Indeed commendable… but after all, this is just your side of the story…”

Faced with Fu Qian’s shameless enthusiasm, Yuan Shan was at a loss for words.

“That’s not hard; just look for the remaining accomplices of Daneta, and see if they run or not.”
