Chapter 214: Chapter 156: Almost Lost Life_2
"There’s hardly any indication! How am I supposed to adapt?" Long Yi said with a bitter smile.
"Oh? You dare to look down on your teacher? Since I said you need to adapt, that means I have a way!" The magic instructor unintentionally slipped into his effeminate tone again, instantly reminding Long Yi of the first time he saw the tutor.
"You’re right, I apologize." Long Yi quickly apologized.
"Good to know your mistake!" The magic tutor surrounded himself with satisfaction, "We need to wait for Miss Ailin to return. She will use Shadow Silver to fully cover your arm, blocking any energy from entering it. You need to cease all cultivation activities and stop injecting any energies into the Law. Once the law has completely consumed all energy, you will need to follow my direction, step by step, to find out what law exactly entered your body."
"What rule? What the hell is a rule?" Long Yi was confused.
"It’s the Rule! Stupid! Rules must have content! One plus one equals two, you know this, but why does one plus one equal two? This is the rule! What is all the energy you absorbed used for? The Rule should be very clear! But I cannot see it! Only the owner of the rule can see it! And that owner is you, you fool! So, I must teach you how to read the rule! I’m even afraid that you might not understand it! you wrecked my laboratory! There’s loads of data that need to be categorized again! You still don’t allow me to see Little Zi! I really want to see her!"
"Ding Ge, you idiot! Don’t blurt out our real intentions!" The surroundings erupted with tumultuous noise.
"Hey, I’m not smart, but don’t trick me. You guys weren’t plotting against me, were you?" Long Yi said, it was the first time he learned that the magic tutor’s name is Ding Ge. In the academy, tutors never reveal their names.
"Ahem, this, we sincerely want to discuss magic with Little Zi...And of course, everything we said is true. Look, we’re adults, and we also have a reliable uncle, how could we possibly deceive a child like you!" The tutor Ding Ge’s slightly awkward voice came. It’s hard to imagine that Ding Ge, such a sissy guy, even referred to himself as an uncle just to see Little Zi.
"I agree, Brother Long, they aren’t lying to you!" Little Zi’s voice came through.
"Ah! It’s Little Zi! Little Zi, where are you? No invisibility, please! Good girl! Uncle here has candies." "You idiot, she’s not invisible, she’s just casting mental illusions so we can’t see her! Also, she’s an energy body and can’t eat candies!" "Ah yes, Uncle here has delicious mana, come out now!"
There were a bunch of noises from the others, Long Yi smiled helplessly. But since Little Zi said they didn’t lie, they must not have.
"By the way, you said we’re waiting for Ailin to come back. Where did she go?" Long Yi asked.
"Sister Ailin was taken home by her family. You’ve been unconscious for five full days. She stayed with you for all that time and finally gave in." Little Zi said.
As it turned out, when Ailin brought Long Yi down, his body was already scalding hot. This is not merely descriptive; his body was literally so hot that it burned anyone who touched him, even singeing the Thunder Eagle’s feathers. Ailin managed to endure the heat by relying on a magic shield. But the moment he was dropped from the Thunder Eagle, his clothes immediately burst into flames.
Luckily, the magic tutor was nearby. Seeing Long Yi’s condition, he immediately called for help. Before they knew it, Long Yi was naked, yelling, "You are all in danger! Mortals!"
He then rampaged around, smashing into everything until he had demolished one of the magic tutor’s laboratories. Only then was he subdued by several magic researchers.
Long Yi’s right hand, however, kept releasing the power of the Rule, ceaselessly devouring all the surrounding energy, be it magic or fighting aura. Left without a choice, the magic tutor had to place Long Yi in an Array he had that also had energy-absorbing functionality. The Array was originally built to deal with high-energy offenders. Now, it was being used on Long Yi, a third-year student, to repress him with its inexhaustible power.
After being suppressed, Long Yi instantly lost consciousness. Ailin, who had been accompanying him for a long time, finally gave in due to exhaustion and was taken home by her family. And then Long Yi woke up.
"Alright, since Little Zi agreed, I have nothing more to say. Tutor Ding Ge, I’ll do as you advise." Long Yi said, not wanting to dilly-dally. His health was his priority, and solving the problem at hand took precedence.
"Alright, with Ailin not here, let’s check your body first. I’m going to slowly turn off the Array that’s suppressing you. The rune bandages on your body will be gradually unwrapped, and the Power of Rules will re-enter your body. Then, I’ll teach you how to probe the Rule!" Tutor Ding Ge said.
"Okay! I got it!" Long Yi nodded, then something suddenly occurred to him, "But Tutor Ding Ge, have you ever done this for someone else before?"
"Other people? Of course not! Who would be as stupid as you to casually touch the Rule? Oh no, I shouldn’t say that. There are people just as stupid as you, but they’re all dead. Only you, with your foolishness and extraordinary luck, are still alive!" Tutor Ding Ge said.
"Hey, can’t you say that I am a pioneer in magic research and an example of serving the people?" Long Yi, sweating profusely from fear caused by Ding Ge’s words, questioned. Should he first thank the omnipresent entropy of the universe for being alive?
