31: Chapter 31 How could my brother be that kind of person?

After they finished speaking, they felt their words were not quite appropriate.

Chu Ming stepped forward first, blocking in front of Su Xi, and gritted his teeth as he said to Lin Wan, "Benefactor, could you change the condition? Or let me do it instead; I can hold your hand for an hour!"

The corners of Lin Wan's mouth twitched slightly.

"Do I look like someone who is that desperate?"

"The reason I made this request is that I definitely have my own secrets. Rest assured, it won't affect the harmony of you two little lovebirds."

As long as one was a person, anyone could see that there was something going on between the two.

Perhaps after sharing life and death, their partnership had changed, and their feelings had transformed.

However, whatever; he just wanted to decipher their talents.

Upon hearing this, Su Xi's face flushed slightly, and she secretly glanced at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming also fell silent, not saying a word.

"Since that's the case, we trust you!"

Su Xi walked forward voluntarily and reached out her hand toward Lin Wan.

Chu Ming nodded and also reached out his hand.

Lin Wan chuckled and shook hands with both, left and right.

However, when he touched Su Xi, it was only fingertip to fingertip, with no intention of being offensive.

After all, he didn't have that kind of hobby.

Everything was for the sake of super strength.

"For her, it only takes five minutes; for you, it's a bit longer—it will take half an hour."

Lin Wan silently glanced at the deciphering time displayed by the system.

Although the time required for an SS-rank was higher than an S-rank, it wasn't that much higher.

Hearing this, Su Xi narrowed her eyes and sized up Lin Wan for a moment, her gaze filled with vigilance.

Chu Ming didn't care that much.

Five minutes later, Lin Wan let go of Su Xi's hand.

However, as she watched Chu Ming and Lin Wan holding hands, her gaze became even more jealous.

A thought inexplicably popped into her mind: This Number One on the leaderboard, could he... be into men?

On the other side, Ye Fan saw that the commotion of the fight had stopped.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one, he proactively approached.

As soon as he arrived, he discovered two men holding hands.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"No, that's not right. The way I arrived must be wrong."

"Is this Hesikeer's illusion? To think it could deceive a Natural Saint; interesting..."

Ye Fan activated Divine Tracking, but the result was the same—exactly as he had seen.

Ye Fan fell silent, wondering whether he should retreat now.

He didn't want a polygamous relationship.

But before he could react, he saw Lin Wan turn his head and look toward him.

Ye Fan's tiger body trembled, and he gave a bitter smile: "Um... Brother-in-law, did I come at a bad time..."

Lin Wan: "No, you came at the exact right time!"

Ye Fan: "!!!"

He saw Lin Wan's free hand gently wave, and it was as if he were suddenly grabbed by a large hand, his body flying uncontrollably toward Lin Wan.

Until he reached Lin Wan, who immediately grabbed Ye Fan's hand.

Goosebumps rose on Ye Fan, but he still gritted his teeth tightly, enduring the impending humiliation.

Lin Wan didn't pay him any mind, frowning as he looked at the information transmitted by the system.

[Decipherable target: Talent: Child of Divine Speech (EX)]

[Ding! This talent does not belong to the target, deciphering time increased significantly. Current deciphering time required: 1,000 years. During the deciphering process, you cannot leave the target, otherwise the deciphering will be interrupted.]

Lin Wan gasped.

Looking at it this way, the time required for an EX-rank talent is one hundred times that of an SSS-rank talent?

That means if he wants to decipher Ye Fan's talent, he needs 350 hours?

He has to hold hands with a man for 350 hours?

Screw that!

Lin Wan looked at Ye Fan with a resentful expression, which immediately startled Ye Fan, who stammered, "What's wrong, Brother-in-law?"

Lin Wan: "Why didn't you tell me you were EX-rank before?"

Ye Fan: "I'm not gay... I'm normal... Wait, no, that's not right!"

He was stunned and secretly glanced at Lin Wan.

"Brother-in-law knows my talent rank?"

"Yeah!"

Lin Wan nodded, his expression somewhat dejected, and released Ye Fan's hand.

It seemed this talent was not meant for him.

Even if Ye Fan were dead, touching his Brother-in-law's corpse for 350 hours would be disgusting, right?

He didn't want Lin Ya looking at him with a bad gaze when the time came.

In fact, under the skyscreen, Lin Ya was already looking at him with a bad gaze.

She stomped her feet in anger, looking resentfully at her brother on the skyscreen.

"Lin Wan, how—how—how could you be like this!!"

"You swing both ways! You're shameless! How could my brother possibly be that kind of person..."

... Longyuan Pavilion.

"Report, Chief, I think... I know what Lin Wan's talent is!"

Lu Ming stepped forward to report.

Commander Chu Zheng smiled and said, "Tell me your thoughts."

"Lin Wan is indeed not as simple as he appears on the surface; his abilities are endless, and my opinion might be the same as yours."

Lu Ming nodded.

"From Lin Wan's current behavior, we can determine that he possesses dual talents: one is an ability with a reward mechanism, and the other is a copying ability."

"Every time he kills a Chaotic Beast or other intelligent life form, he goes to touch them with his fingers, and after every touch, he possesses the target's ability."

"The most typical case is... Zisha. The talent ability she is currently using is extremely compatible with one of Lin Wan's abilities, and he had previously touched Zisha for a short time."

Commander Chu Zheng heard this and tapped his fingers on the table.

"Looking at it this way, since he touched Ye Fan this time, wouldn't he be able to copy his Word of Law?"

Lu Ming shook his head.

"Chief, in my opinion... not necessarily!"

"This copying talent of Lin Wan's, in my view, has limitations, one of which I think is... time!"

"Time?"

"That's right."

Lu Ming nodded solemnly.

"His contact time with Zisha was only five minutes, but with the Half-Blood Dragon Clan member from another civilization earlier, it took three and a half hours to copy her talent."

"And the rank of Ye Fan's talent cannot be lower than Zisha's, or even that Half-Blood Dragon Clan member's, but just now, Lin Wan let go as soon as he touched Ye Fan's hand, which means..."

"He cannot copy Ye Fan's talent in a short time, or perhaps, he cannot copy Ye Fan's talent at all."

"From this, it can also be seen that Ye Fan's talent is extremely high, perhaps on the same level as Lin Wan's, or even higher!"

"It's just that in early growth, Ye Fan does not have an advantage compared to the dual-talented Lin Wan."

"It can be said that as long as the two of them do not fall, they will represent the ceiling of Earth's civilization in the future."

"Your summary is very accurate; these two kids are the future of the Dragon Kingdom, and even the Earth."

Commander Chu Zheng was in a very good mood.

Seeming to think of something else, he asked, "How is it going with that young girl?"

"She is still cultivating in the peripheral area, but even through the skyscreen, you can see that the commotion from her cultivation is increasing every minute."

"From kicking up dust at the beginning to now, the entire rock cave is shaking because of the commotion of her cultivation, and the airflow for several kilometers around is in turmoil."

"I even feel that her current combat power... is stronger than Lin Wan's!"
