Chapter 215: Chapter 156: Narrowly Escaped Death_3
"You’re the pioneer? Well, you’ve certainly taken the lead on the matter of life and death..." Instructor Ding Ge said with a chuckle.
"Hang on, Instructor Ding Ge, you’re awfully sharp-tongued all of a sudden. Is this because you want to get back at me for that time I beat you at the academy?" Long Yi abruptly had a sinking realization.
"That’s right, I’m after revenge! Bet you never saw that coming, did you! You’re bound, unable to fight back, haha, come on, bite me! Huh? Eh? What? Why am I saying all this?" Instructor Ding Ge, speaking in a daze, trailed off.
"I accidentally cast the Truth-Telling Technique, it affected you unintentionally, and you unintentionally spilled the truth," the light-hearted voice of Little Zi rang out again.
"Ugh...Little sister Zi, why don’t you show yourself and we can talk it out..." Instructor Ding Ge’s speech took on a strangely effeminate tone once more.
"Nope, Uncle Ding Ge, you should first focus on healing Brother Long!" Little Zi giggled, then her voice faded away.
"Hey, are you guys done messing around? There’s a poor naked man levitating in mid-air here." Long Yi called out helplessly. He was surrounded by silence, hearing only voices, a desolation seizing him.
"Alright, brat, understanding the rules is actually quite simple, you just need to master the Rule Analysis Technique."
The voice of Instructor Ding Ge echoed in the air, accompanied by a few lines of glowing text floating in front of Long Yi. The first line was a string of Dragontongue, lengthy but not hard to pronounce. The complexity of a spell is directly proportional to the length of its Dragontongue; thus, as the incantation was so lengthy, this was definitely not an easy spell. The following lines covered the spell’s analysis and precautions.
"This is pretty hard. It took me half a month to learn it when I was studying it," Instructor Ding Ge said prideful.
"But I don’t have any Mana," Long Yi argued.
"Haha, this spell doesn’t require Mana! Just take your time learning! Or perhaps you could let Little Zi build some rapport with us..."
"Rule Analysis!"
With a loud shout from Long Yi, dazzling light instantly radiated from his eyes. As he lowered his head to look at his arm, he found that it was no longer an arm, but an entity made up of rows of peculiar characters!
"What the hell is this shit?" Long Yi swore out of shock.
"You you you you you! You mastered it!"
"Of course!"
"This is it! Rules! Don’t waste time! Analyze quickly!"
Instructor Ding Ge had initially wanted to continue expressing his surprise, but he promptly recalled that Long Yi always seemed to learn spells in practically no time. Even though Rule Analysis is a challenging spell, it’s ultimately still a spell. It should be considered normal for him, right?
Instructor Ding Ge looked up at the ceiling, lost in thought, comforting himself.
"Bloody hell, this isn’t humanly possible! Half a minute! Just half a minute! How did this freak achieve that!"
In the monitoring room, another bald researcher, furiously tearing at the few strands of hair on the sides of his head. Those poor sparse strands managed to hold out for a while before they were torn out, leaving behind a sight to be despaired.
Little Zi was hidden in a corner of the room, laughing so hard she had a stomachache.
But Long Yi neither saw nor was aware. He was entirely engrossed in the analysis of the rules. It was difficult, but necessary.
With the passing of time, the spell’s effect wore off.
"Again!"
With a hearty shout from Long Yi: "Rule Analysis!"
The peculiar sight reappeared before his eyes, and Long Yi focused on gleaning every ounce of detail.
"Instructor, apply more power!" Long Yi called out.
"Okay!"
The Rune bandage from Long Yi’s shoulder was undone, and the rules that originally lay dormant in his arm immediately found new territories to invade as they gushed forth. Instantly, he was hit by a wave of terrifying pain. But Long Yi had no time to pay attention to that, his gaze firmly focusing on the growing phenomena spreading from his arm, all his attention converging there.
"Instructor! Unravel more!" Long Yi shouted.
"Okay!"
More of the Rune bandage was undone.
This process was repeated tirelessly. Long Yi’s body gradually grew hot as the Rune bandage was unfolded. Once the Rune bandage was fully undone, Long Yi horrifically found his entire body reaching a state of red-hot heat, just like a glowing piece of iron!
At that moment, Long Yi, naked, entered an inexplicable state. He watched his body as if he was a bystander, observing the flowing of rules within his body. The pain did not vanish, rushing at him wave after wave, but he didn’t have the time to spare. As he saw the opening of a new, unprecedented world before him!
Rules!
Everything has rules! As long as the rules are mastered, anything can be destroyed or rebuilt!
Long Yi instinctively sensed that within these inexplicable texts and figures was hidden the key to everything.
However.
A very crucial problem hindered Long Yi in understanding all this.
Fucking hell, I can’t read it!
Long Yi was going crazy.
Who the hell invented this chicken scratch of a script? Can you read your own handwriting? Did your teachers tear up your homework because of your terrible handwriting?
Long Yi looked in despair at the phenomena before him, which appeared to be a stairway to heaven according to the Instructor’s description. But he was blocked at the entrance because he wasn’t literate.
Long Yi wasn’t overly concerned about whether he could take advantage of this situation. However, when a lucky opportunity was just within reach but he couldn’t take it, it was quite a cause for dismay.
"No need to worry, those are in Dragontongue, and high-grade Dragontongue at that, the language of the Dragon God. You not being able to read it is quite normal."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Instructor Yavenny?" Long Yi felt like he was on the verge of pulling his hair out. This voice managed to frighten him to the point where he even forgot about the pain. (To be continued.
