89: Chapter 89 Second Personality

At this very moment, Ling Yichen's strength had been verified, and his confidence had been greatly boosted!

He looked coldly at Long Aotian and said in a deep voice, "You and I have no enmity, yet you attacked me the moment we met. What great prestige you have. I wonder if all your hidden families are of the same character as you. If so, then I think these so-called hidden families don't need to stay hidden anymore; it would be better for you to just die."

As soon as Ling Yichen said this, Long Aotian's expression changed drastically.

The hidden families generally didn't like to be active in the human world, and they liked provoking powerful enemies even less.

And his actions just now had indeed violated the will of his clan.

More importantly, the strength Ling Yichen displayed was too powerful. If he had some backing behind him, then they would have really stirred up trouble.

However... Ling Yichen's words were also very excessive; he actually looked down on their hidden families.

The hidden families didn't look for trouble, but they were definitely not afraid of it!

"It was wrong of me to attack you, but if you dare to insult my family, then I will truly fight you to the death!" Long Aotian said angrily.

Even if his strength was inferior to Ling Yichen's, he could not weaken his stance.

After hearing this, Ling Yichen sneered, "Oh? Insult your family?"

"I just said one thing about you and that counts as insulting your family? Then what should I do about you shameless guys who openly want to forcefully snatch away my girlfriend?"

"Should I also fight you to the death, or... eradicate all eight of your major factions?"

As his voice fell, the aura around Ling Yichen changed. An extremely violent and evil aura swept through the surroundings, enveloping the entire room.

Ling Yichen also suddenly grinned, his white teeth particularly striking, and his eyes filled with madness and bloodlust.

Everyone in the room shivered in unison, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Ling Yichen.

At this moment, Ling Yichen seemed like a different person; his aura was powerful but extremely crazy.

However, Ling Yichen immediately returned to normal, turning back into that boy-next-door appearance.

Only, there was a hint of fatigue between his brows as he swept his eyes over everyone.

He found that everyone in the room looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, staying far away from him.

Especially W, whose forehead mark was shining, and the wings behind her were already filled with holy light, ready to attack him at any moment.

Regarding this, Ling Yichen just smiled and said nothing. He turned his gaze to Long Aotian and said eerily, "You should leave. If you don't want to die, you had better stay away from me."

After speaking, he looked at Ye Qingzhu and said softly, "Go back to rest. Don't worry, and don't be afraid. I am here!"

Then, ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, he returned to his room.

In the living room, everyone looked at Ling Yichen's tightly closed door, feeling somewhat confused.

"What... just happened to him...?" Tian Yingying asked in a low voice.

Ye Qingzhu shook her head and replied, "I don't know!"

Although she said she didn't know, in reality, her heart was full of confusion.

Because when Ling Yichen showed that eerie smile, he really seemed like a different person—strange and powerful, making her feel palpitations.

And W's reaction seemed to suggest she knew something, because when Ling Yichen's aura changed, she also displayed a supreme aura, seemingly forming some kind of confrontation with Ling Yichen at that moment.

At this moment, she clearly realized one problem: Ling Yichen had secrets, and W did too!

Understanding this, she suddenly revealed a smile, turned her head to look at Long Aotian, and said, "Did you hear that? I have a boyfriend, so you had better stay away from me. Otherwise, if my boyfriend gets angry, he will slaughter you!"

After speaking, she pulled Tang Juan and walked towards her own room.

Seeing this, W and Tian Yingying also returned to their own rooms.

Only Long Aotian was left standing there with a depressed look on his face.

He couldn't win in a war of words, and he couldn't win in a fight; he was really going to die of anger.

"Sigh, I thought I was talented enough, an Upper C-rank at 25, likely to advance to B-rank at any time, but... I've been slapped in the face less than a month after leaving the family. Boohoo..."

Long Aotian aggrievedly found a chair and sat down. Although he was aggrieved and depressed, he could not forget his duty; he was representing the Supernatural Management Association to protect Ye Qingzhu.

"Damn, no one told me Ye Qingzhu had a boyfriend. If I had known she had a boyfriend earlier, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this."

He didn't actually like Ye Qingzhu that much; he just heard that Ye Qingzhu had awakened the Immortal Bloodline, and he was recommended by the association to become the marriage representative of the Supernatural Management Association.

He thought he could get a partner containing the Immortal Bloodline and then give birth to a cute baby who might awaken the Immortal Bloodline.

Who would have thought that she had a partner and didn't want to marry anyone else at all.

While Long Aotian was arrogant, he had no interest in stealing someone else's love.

"Sigh, I'll talk to the elders later and see if they can change the marriage representative. Anyway, I'm not the only unmarried one among the 12 deacons."

Thinking this, he slowly calmed the anger in his heart.

At the same time, after Ye Qingzhu and Tang Juan returned to the room, Ye Qingzhu immediately asked, "Mom, did you notice Ling Yichen's change just now?"

Tang Juan immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, it looked like he was a different person."

"As expected, even you noticed it, so I wasn't wrong."

"Mom, do you think... it's possible he's sick?"

Tang Juan immediately frowned and asked, "What kind of sickness?"

Ye Qingzhu thought for a moment and replied, "Schizophrenia, a second personality, or something like that."

"No way? He looks quite healthy!" Tang Juan looked surprised.

Ye Qingzhu shook her head gently and said heavily, "Not necessarily. Some people look healthy on the surface, but may have many traumas inside. Didn't he say he was separated from his parents a long time ago? Perhaps he has been living very hard all these years?"

"Or perhaps, he suffered some abuse while growing up, then developed a stress response, and a second personality was born to protect himself."

"Under normal circumstances, the peaceful personality is in control. Only when facing an overwhelming enemy that he cannot confront does the second personality get triggered."

"You heard it too. At that moment, he said he wanted to raze the eight major factions. How could a normal person say such crazy things?"

Ye Qingzhu analyzed seriously.

Upon hearing this, Tang Juan showed an expression of half-understanding and sighed in a low voice, "No matter who he is, as long as he treats you well, that's enough."

"Even if he is really sick, he has never thought of harming you; instead, he wants to protect you, even going so far as to make an enemy of the eight major factions. Just based on the fact that he dares to challenge the eight major factions, I am very relieved to entrust you to him!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's face suddenly flushed, and she coquettishly burrowed into Tang Juan's arms, nodding repeatedly, "Yeah, that's true. I was quite surprised that he could stand up at this moment."

Ye Qingzhu's voice became delicate and coquettish, and then she giggled.

Obviously, Ling Yichen publicly saying she was his girlfriend had struck a chord in her heart, making her very happy and satisfied.

On the other side, in W's room, W went straight to bed after returning, staring heavily at the ceiling, seemingly hesitating about something.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly sat up, then took out a diamond-shaped crystal from her Storage Ring. She gently pressed the diamond-shaped crystal and said, "He has appeared."

After speaking, she put the diamond-shaped crystal back into her Storage Ring and then closed her eyes to rest.

In Ling Yichen's room.

After returning to the room, Ling Yichen immediately slumped on the sofa stool, his eyes tired.

He gently pinched the space between his brows, cursed "Damn it" in a low voice, and then started cultivating again, as if the previous events had not affected him at all.

A moment later, five cats appeared outside the window, making crisp meowing sounds.

Only then did Ling Yichen open his eyes and look at them.

Seeing that the bodies of the five cats had grown a circle fatter, and their auras had become much stronger.

Ling Yichen waved at them, and the five cats immediately jumped off the windowsill, leaped onto the bed, and came to Ling Yichen's side.

Ling Yichen reached out and touched them one by one. The moment he touched them, black and red threads kept surging from the cats' bodies onto his hands—the black ones were Worms, and the red ones were Spirit Worms.

The Flesh Paste Monster that the five cats transformed into had devoured dozens of assassins, and now everything was transferred into Ling Yichen's body.

The number of Worms was countless, so there was no need to care about them; he only cared about the Spirit Worms.

This devouring session got him over two hundred Spirit Worms, far less than last time, which was related to the rank of the assassins.

The higher the rank, the higher the flesh and blood energy, and the more Spirit Worms that evolved.

Conversely, the lower the rank of the Awakened One, the more Worms he got, with very few Spirit Worms.

Regarding this, Ling Yichen didn't care; anyway, they were free. Besides, the extra Worms could also be refined to make them evolve.

Immediately, he began to refine these Worms.

After about half an hour, the refinement ended.

These Worms refined a total of over three hundred Spirit Worms, plus the two hundred or so, exactly six hundred, which could be considered a huge boost.

"Hmph, the Six Great Families sending assassins over once lets me get hundreds or even thousands of Spirit Worms. If they come a few more times, evolving a King Insect will be just around the corner."

"With six hundred more Spirit Worms, I can refine the Five Viscera Realm again."

According to Ling Yichen's exploration, the ratio of the main array to the auxiliary array was 1 to 10,000.

That is to say, when 1 Intelligence Worm sits in the main array, it can suppress at most 10,000 Spirit Worms. Of course, this is only for ordinary Spirit Worms; Spirit Worms about to evolve won't work.

For example, before, his auxiliary array could only suppress 7,200 Spirit Worms before it couldn't hold them anymore, because among these 7,200 Spirit Worms, many were about to advance to Intelligence Worms.

But now, he had a full 10 Intelligence Worms in his heart, and the auxiliary array could refine up to 100,000 Spirit Worms.

And his auxiliary array now only had 7,200 Spirit Worms; it could suppress several tens of thousands more Spirit Worms.

Immediately, Ling Yichen refined all these six hundred Spirit Worms into the four viscera, making the number of Spirit Worms in his four viscera reach 7,800, slightly boosting his strength.

"I wonder what the maximum limit of the Five Viscera Realm is?" Ling Yichen suddenly thought of this question.

The old man said that this secret method could achieve immortality.

Since that was the case, he naturally had to lay a good foundation from the beginning and cultivate every realm to the extreme.
