547: Small problems, handle them directly

At this moment, Shen Bei and Fu Jian, by a twist of fate, two humans wearing odd object masks and lurking in the subterranean imperial city, had finally met.

Fu Jian had a lot of money but lacked a backer.

Undoubtedly, Shen Bei's significant position in the Night Watcher was Fu Jian's best choice for support.

And Shen Bei also gained a teammate who could provide internal and external support.

A good thing indeed.

But Shen Bei was not in a hurry to bring Fu Jian into the Night Watcher.

The waters there were too deep, and he feared Fu Jian wouldn't be able to handle it. If he himself was exposed, or if Fu Jian was exposed, they would all be caught in one swoop.

After dealing with Young Master Li, Shen Bei gave Fu Jian a few instructions, and the noisy group dispersed.

...

"The news of me going to Yushan Pavilion was only told to your You Family, yet as soon as I left, I was ambushed. I can't help but suspect that your You Family leaked it," Shen Bei said, returning to his residence and confronting You Guang and You Zhi directly.

He had to confront them; this was how he would control them!

"This absolutely has nothing to do with us, and we didn't expect such a thing to happen either!" You Zhi vehemently denied.

Shen Bei stared at You Zhi for a moment, then said with some disinterest, "Forget it, for You Brother's sake, I don't want to delve deeper into this matter."

You Zhi quickly said, "It really has nothing to do with us. I suspect they've been watching you all along. Your identity swap with You Guang didn't fool them."

Shen Bei waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. They're just a bunch of clowns. Even if they know, they can't kill me. I am a descendant of a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm. How could they easily kill me? Coming to kill me is just seeking death!"

After Shen Bei finished speaking coldly, he turned to You Zhi and said, "I'm tired, you two should leave!"

You Zhi really wanted to retort, 'This is my You Family's house, and you're acting like you want to cut ties with us, so why don't you move out?'

However, he naturally didn't dare to say that. He was thinking of mending his relationship with Shen Bei so he could use Shen Bei's identity in the future.

"Then you should cultivate well. As for the You Family having nothing to do with the ambush, my You Family will prove it to you," You Zhi said, leaving with You Guang.

Shen Bei felt a sense of anticipation. How would the You Family try to gain his trust?

However, Shen Bei didn't think too much about it. After sending You Zhi away, Shen Bei took out an Ear Acuity Pill.

He really couldn't stand it anymore. Ever since he entered the ear-decline stage, everyone talking to him felt like drumming. He had endured it with great difficulty, and now he just wanted peace and quiet.

But the sound of wind, insects, and rustling plants entered his ears, making it impossible to find peace. Under this endless noise, he had reached his limit of endurance, feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and utterly exhausted.

Shen Bei wanted to sleep, to rest well.

But how could he rest with the omnipresent noise?

"Damn it! I need to get through this ear-decline quickly! I can't take it anymore!" Shen Bei cursed, looking at the Ear Acuity Pill in his hand. He didn't wait any longer.

In this situation, waiting would only make his condition worse.

Since that was the case, it was better to make a concerted effort now to find a way to overcome the ear-decline.

Shen Bei opened the jade bottle and took out a fragrant Medicinal Pill. He swallowed the Medicinal Pill directly.

As the Medicinal Pill went down his throat, Shen Bei felt the medicinal power instantly spread, flowing with his blood, delivering strands of it to his ears.

"Boom! Boom!"

The surrounding sounds suddenly amplified more than tenfold. The rustling of leaves, which he had only found noisy before, now sounded like drumming in his ears.

All external noises were like thunderous roars in his ears. This explosive sensation made Shen Bei involuntarily glance at the sky.

Damn it! Thankfully, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, so there was no possibility of rain!

Otherwise... with rain and thunder, he felt his ears would directly burst!

The medicinal power of the Ear Acuity Pill continued to strengthen, and the sounds grew louder and louder. It was indeed worthy of being an Ear Acuity Pill; it truly made his ears incredibly powerful, like a giant receiver, automatically amplifying everything in his ears. All the sounds of heaven and earth's surface entered his ears like thunder.

"Construct a net to filter out the noise."

Shen Bei recalled King Wei's guidance, but how was this net to be constructed?

The Ear Acuity Pill had a miraculous effect; amplifying the sounds of heaven and earth's surface was to allow a Martial Artist to become familiar with sound. Only by experiencing it could one endure it, and only by being able to pick it up could one put it down.

The Ear Acuity Pill made the ears dozens of times more sensitive, not to cause suffering, but to help the Martial Artist transcend from it. The Ear Acuity Pill could help a Martial Artist weave a net, but how it was woven required the Cultivator's own Comprehension Ability and talent to find a suitable path.

His eardrums vibrated frantically, and the noise caused Shen Bei a splitting headache.

He circulated the Seven-Colored Divine Radiance, forcing himself to endure. If he couldn't bear it and fainted now, it would mean failure; the ear-decline would be a true ear-decline, and his strength would decline.

"My ears right now are like a radio. A radio is a technological marvel, so if we look at it through the lens of technology, there are radios and also noise-canceling headphones!"

"What is the working principle of noise-canceling headphones?"

"It seems to be the principle of inverse phase. Noise-canceling headphones mainly pick up ambient noise and then generate an opposite signal to cancel out the noise. This process mainly involves the principles of wave interference and cancellation in physics. Simply put, if two identical waves meet, they will cancel each other out, thus producing a silent effect."

"I feel the current situation is a bit similar. My ears now pick up all sounds, and after taking the Ear Acuity Pill, this picking up is simply abnormal. I can't control this picking up right now; it's completely passive. So, can I actively cancel it out in an inverse way? To create my own net this way."

As Shen Bei thought about these things, he was different from the Strangerof this subterranean world. His education and knowledge from the earth's surface prevented his thinking from being as rigid as the people of this world; he could draw upon some experiences and knowledge from the earth's surface.

Shen Bei immersed himself, verifying his ideas.

The effect of the Ear Acuity Pill manifested again; it was indeed a valuable Medicinal Pill. As per Shen Bei's thoughts, the medicinal power of the Ear Acuity Pill merged with heaven and earth's surface, creating resonance, making Shen Bei's ears involuntarily draw closer to heaven and earth's surface. It was as if his ears at this moment had merged into the Great Dao of heaven and earth's surface. At the same time, Shen Bei's Seven-Colored Divine Radiance also trembled, permeating with strands of Dao rhythm, which also merged into Shen Bei's ears.

To overcome the ear-decline, one naturally needed to borrow the power of the Great Dao of heaven and earth's surface.

Why did the Celestial need the Celestial Human Attraction? Because with the Celestial Human Attraction, they could communicate with the Great Dao of heaven and earth's surface.

At this moment, Shen Bei, with strands of Dao rhythm merging with his ears and the added boost of the Ear Acuity Pill's medicinal power, felt as if all his attributes had increased.

The principle of noise-canceling headphones was not difficult; Shen Bei understood it very well!

So... Shen Bei's net for ear-decline, under his thoughts, with the Celestial Human Attraction merging with heaven and earth's surface, and the added boost of the Ear Acuity Pill, actually began to gradually take shape.

The original constant noise was continuously weakened by the trembling Dao rhythm of the Celestial Human Attraction.

Shen Bei's Celestial Human Attraction was inherently in harmony with heaven and earth's surface, and now with the added boost, Shen Bei felt his ears could listen to the entire heaven and earth's surface, and at the same time, he had a feeling that heaven and earth's surface were under the control of his ears.

He knew, of course, that this was an illusion, but this feeling made him no longer agitated when facing ear-decline.

It was like a patient still in severe pain; even a slight reduction in pain felt like immense relief, bringing joy.

And no longer agitated, his harmony with heaven and earth's surface became stronger.

Shen Bei sat cross-legged, continuously familiarizing himself with and eliminating the noise.

Ear-decline!

It seemed not difficult to overcome!

If King Wei were here now and saw this, he would definitely find it hard to believe. Who, when suffering from ear-decline, could achieve this overnight, building their own net as easily as drinking water with just one Ear Acuity Pill?

This was the advantage of knowledge and already possessing the Celestial Human Attraction Seven-Colored Divine Radiance!
