132: Chapter Confirmation of Relationship, Sloppy Old Man

Yang Shuo felt the warm touch and the intense love, and he tightly embraced Gu Yanxi.

After a long time, their lips slowly separated, and both of their expressions were full of love.

"Silly girl, who said I wanted to change back to my original appearance?"

Gu Yanxi's eyes gleamed with unprecedented determination and tenderness. She gently stroked Yang Shuo's cheek, a relieved smile playing on the corner of her lips.

Yang Shuo was stunned. He seemed to see a sea of stars in Gu Yanxi's eyes, filled with endless tolerance and love.

He tightly held Gu Yanxi's hand, feeling the warmth of their palms, and the self-blame and unease in his heart were gradually replaced by warmth.

"Yanxi, I..." Yang Shuo's voice was choked, and he didn't know what to say anymore.

"Don't say anymore, Ashuo."

Gu Yanxi interrupted him and leaned her head gently against his chest, "There's nothing wrong with this appearance. At least my strength has increased a lot."

As she spoke, Gu Yanxi's aura spread, and she had actually reached the Martial Master Realm sixth layer.

"However, I can only unleash my full power when I reveal these wings, and I can also feel a strong suppression from you."

Yang Shuo looked at Gu Yanxi's strength, and the gloom in his heart was swept away. He tightly embraced Gu Yanxi, as if to merge her into his bones and blood.

After a moment, he calmed down and slowly said, "Actually, I'm also a bit confused about my power. The most intuitive thing right now is mastering the power of wind and thunder."

"As for transforming you, that was purely an accident. It happened last time in Fenglei Valley..."

Yang Shuo recounted everything that happened in Fenglei Valley. Gu Yanxi was also surprised to hear it, but there was no lingering fear, just some worry.

"Do you have to go?"

"I must go. It's not a good idea to always be on guard if it's not completely resolved."

Yang Shuo said firmly. No one knew better than him how powerful these Sequencers were.

Luyin's methods were strange. If they didn't resolve her or turn the page on that matter, they wouldn't have a good time in the future.

Even if Yang Shuo wasn't afraid, Gu Yanxi's strength was still not enough. Moreover, how could there be a principle of guarding against thieves for a thousand days?

"Take me with you."

Gu Yanxi said, "If I go back to the academy now and am discovered by a strong person, what do you think will happen to me?"

Yang Shuo's words, which he originally wanted to use to refuse, couldn't come out. He thought of the scene when Luyin was captured.

As his strength grew stronger, he knew how vast the world was, and Gu Yanxi being with him would also protect her better.

"Then, alright."

Hearing Yang Shuo agree, Gu Yanxi was full of joy, "Where are we going now?"

"Back to Changan City in Chuan Yue District!"

"To find your Ying Ge?"

"Yes, only he can find those people now."

"Okay."

Gu Yanxi didn't ask any more questions. Yang Shuo nodded and remained silent. Then, after tidying up, the two left.

In White Tiger District, at a garbage recycling station in a civilian area, there was a dilapidated two-story shack in the center of piles of garbage like small mountains.

An Elder with white hair, a weathered face, wearing a slightly damaged pair of glasses, but dressed in a clean white robe, was studying something.

In front of him were precise instruments, but these instruments looked very old, some even clearly pieced together at a glance.

However, the Elder didn't care and was fully focused on operating the instruments in front of him, seemingly assembling something.

But as the final step was completed, the instrument in front of him suddenly emitted a blinding white light, and the Elder instantly showed a look of death.

He knew it was about to explode, and at such a close distance, he would surely die.

"Did I still fail? My life has truly been a failure."

As the thought fell, a terrifying explosion enveloped him. Just as he closed his eyes, preparing to greet death, a cold voice appeared in his ear.

"Your invention is not yet complete. Are you willing to die like this?"

The Elder immediately opened his eyes and saw a scene that shocked him greatly. He saw a figure wearing a smiling mask extend a hand.

The impending explosion was actually compressed into a basketball-sized ball of light, and everything around it was unaffected.

"You, who are you?" The Elder asked in a hoarse voice. He had thought he was certainly going to die, but he didn't expect someone to save him.

The person who came was naturally Li Wuji. He casually extinguished the ball of light in his hand, making it disappear without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

He did not answer the Elder's question immediately but turned to look at the surrounding environment.

He saw that the walls on all four sides were inlaid with individual cabins, and inside them were placed sets of crudely made armor.

However, apart from the appearance and the precise workmanship, Li Wuji did not detect any abnormal fluctuations in these armors. It seemed they were just ordinary armors, only capable of providing a little defense to ordinary people or those in the Martial Artist Realm.

"You haven't researched the energy core yet?" Li Wuji frowned, looking at the Elder in confusion.

The so-called energy core is the most crucial part of the armor; it is the driving force of the armor.

Without this core, the power of the armor would be greatly reduced, and it might even be unable to exert its true function.

When the Elder heard Li Wuji's words, his face showed excitement, "You, are you also interested in armor?"

Speaking of armor, the Elder's previously lifeless eyes now seemed to burst with endless light.

"Currently, the armors in various districts are massive and inconvenient to move, only serving as city defenders or small mobile artillery platforms.

Furthermore, the manufacturing cost is high, and the requirement for Martial Artists' Realm is not low. I, on the other hand, am dedicated to creating more convenient and powerful armor, the main goal being its widespread availability."

Before Li Wuji could respond, he had already begun to introduce, "Now I have reached the crucial step, mainly being able to manufacture the energy core for the armor, providing stable, persistent, and abundant energy for the armor.

If successful, not only Great Xia, but even all scientific researchers globally will be beneath me!"

The Elder's eyes were like the scorching sun at this moment, while Li Wuji looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

"But you failed, and you almost died."

Hearing this, the Elder was like an eggplant hit by frost, and his eyes instantly dimmed, "Yes, I almost died.

Actually, I'm not afraid of death, but I was only one step away and still couldn't succeed."

"Do you think these researches of yours are very valuable?"

"Of course."

"Heh, they're just some trash."

Li Wuji said without reservation. The Elder was startled at first, then showed a look of fury.

These were the results of his life's work. Even his savior couldn't insult him like this.

Just as he was about to say something, Li Wuji directly extended a finger and pointed it at the Elder's glabella from a distance.

"Take a good look, what is true technology!"
