154: Chapter 154 Was he attacked by a backlash from his superpower?
"Change?" Hearing Senior Ji Youyou's question, Jiang You subconsciously touched his eye sockets. Aside from a bit of soreness and tearing, he felt no different from his usual state after staying up late reading novels.
"No changes here..."
Jiang You looked suspicious and pointed at the hole, saying, "You guys didn't intentionally smash the roof to force me into special training and then blame it on me, did you? That's too underhanded! I don't have money to pay for damages, if you want it paid, you pay it!"
Everyone: "..."
Lu Xingye hugged his blade and rolled his eyes.
We smashed it?
The edges were as smooth as a mirror and carried traces of high-temperature melting; do you call this a hole made by smashing?
Senior Ji Youyou sighed. Watching Jiang You's clueless, salted-fish expression, she decided to give the kid a hand.
Her enchanting and beautiful face suddenly leaned in close, her breath fragrant like orchids.
Those peach-blossom eyes, which seemed capable of stealing souls, were now filled with a look of inquiry and guidance.
"Jiang You, look at me."
Senior Ji Youyou extended a slender finger and gently pressed it against the center of Jiang You's forehead, her voice becoming soft and magnetic:
"Many newly awakened Mental-type Supernatural Ability users experience a temporary perceptual block. You can't feel it right now because you haven't learned how to actively push open that door."
"Come on, listen to me, close your eyes."
"Focus your mind and calm your breath; don't think about sleeping, and don't think about hotpot."
"Try to concentrate all your attention on your eyes and search for that feeling of release you had just a moment ago."
"Jiang You, try again."
As the big sister of Class F and one of the few Rank 4 experts in the class, Senior Ji Youyou was extremely familiar with the process of awakening a Supernatural Ability.
The blue light that pierced the roof just now had such strong energy fluctuations that it definitely wasn't a common Enhancement-type or Elemental-type.
It was a rare and powerful one—a Mental Ocular Technique-type!
"Quick, focus your mind and calm your breath, try to communicate with the meridians in your eyes."
"Do not resist that power; feel it, and master it."
The onlookers gathered around, holding their breaths, their eyes full of expectation as if they were waiting for a lottery draw.
Lu Xingye even put on his sunglasses, fearing he might be blinded again:
"Captain Jiang, don't hold back anymore."
"Let us see just how strong your true form really is!"
Being surrounded by so many people like they were looking at a giant panda, Jiang You felt immense pressure.
He made a bitter face and slumped on the sofa:
"Senior, I really don't know how to do it..."
"It just hurt in my eyes, and then that happened..."
Although he said that, Jiang You was actually muttering to himself inside.
That feeling of being able to see through the heavens was indeed very satisfying.
"Could it be... that I've also received the protagonist script?"
"Could this actually be a world with dual male leads?"
Jiang You swallowed hard.
"Alright then... I'll try again."
"If I accidentally demolish this building, you all must explain the reason clearly to the Principal!"
After speaking, Jiang You took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Although he didn't understand how meridians worked, he knew how to "strain."
Just like when constipated, Jiang You began to push all his strength toward his head, trying to find that feeling of having two small suns stuffed into his eyes.
"Ngh..."
Jiang You's face turned bright red, his brows furrowed.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Just when everyone thought it was going to fail this time.
"Hum—"
A faint buzzing sound suddenly rang out in the air.
Immediately after.
Between Jiang You's tightly closed eyelids, a sliver of eerie blue light overflowed once again!
"It's here!!"
Gou Fugui was so excited he almost crushed his glasses: "It's that light again! That's the light!"
Bai Lan was so scared she bit off the last half of her lollipop, covering her eyes with both hands, only daring to peek through the gaps between her fingers.
Jiang You suddenly opened his eyes!
This time, there was no earth-shattering beam of light erupting out.
But the world in his eyes had changed.
The originally dim and dilapidated hall suddenly became clearer in his vision.
He saw the dust floating in the air.
He saw the mice nesting behind the wall.
He saw the bank card for private savings hidden in the lining of Gou Fugui's pocket.
"Holy crap..."
Jiang You murmured.
This sensation of high-definition X-ray vision combined with microscopic magnification made him feel as if the entire world had become transparent.
"How is it? What do you see?"
Just then, a concerned voice sounded in his ear.
It was Senior Ji Youyou, who had leaned down specifically to observe him because she was standing too close.
Jiang You subconsciously turned his head, his gaze focusing on Senior Ji Youyou in front of him.
In those eyes glowing with eerie blue divine light.
Senior Ji Youyou's expensive black silk dress seemed to turn into transparent cicada wings, and then... slowly disappeared.
Following that was the texture of her skin, the flow of her blood vessels...
Wait!
Jiang You's gaze suddenly paused.
His eyes pierced through that layer of black fabric and saw a color that was extremely stunning and full of mystery.
It was a... purple... with lace trim.
In this magnified and high-definition world, this purple was so vivid, so eye-catching, especially the white halo on the purple...
The impact was so great, it was comparable to Mars colliding with Earth.
"Gulp."
Jiang You's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.
His Brain crashed at that moment, and his mouth was faster than his Brain, subconsciously blurting out what he saw:
"I think... I saw a flash of purple!"
"Purple?"
The people around were stunned.
Lu Xingye frowned: "What purple? Is it the 'purple vapor coming from the east'? Could it be an omen of the aptitude of a Great Emperor?"
Gou Fugui pushed up his glasses: "Purple? Purple represents top-tier equipment! Did Brother Jiang see a treasure?"
However.
Before everyone could figure out what it meant.
"Pfft!!!"
Two streams of warm blood gushed out of Jiang You's nostrils without warning!
Like two little red fountains, they drew a graceful arc in the air.
Jiang You only felt his Brain go "boom," a surge of heat rushing straight to the top of his head, followed by a wave of dizziness.
"Holy crap!!"
"He's bleeding! He's bleeding!"
"Brother Jiang is having a nosebleed!"
Class F instantly fell into chaos.
Xiang Batian slid over on his knees, holding Jiang You with a terrified expression:
"Quick! Call an ambulance!"
"This is overuse of the eyes! This is overload operation!"
"I told you! How can you use a newly awakened Supernatural Ability so carelessly! His body simply cannot withstand the backlash of this level of Supernatural Ability!"
"Look at this amount of blood! Just how much internal injury must he have suffered!"
Lu Xingye also looked solemn, watching the blood-covered Jiang You, his eyes full of admiration:
"As expected of my nemesis."
"To test the limits of his Supernatural Ability, he actually went to such lengths!"
"The purple he saw must be something extremely terrifying, perhaps something that even violated the taboos of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Heavenly secrets cannot be leaked, which is why he suffered such a severe backlash!"
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with praise for Jiang You's "self-sacrificing" spirit and concern for his physical condition.
However.
In this chaotic rescue scene.
There was one person who did not move.
Senior Ji Youyou.
She still maintained that leaning posture, standing stiffly in place.
She looked at Jiang You, who was covered in nosebleed and looking "weak."
Then she looked down at her outfit for the day.
A black long dress.
That was no problem.
But...
As a fan of the color purple, she had specifically chosen a set of... purple lingerie today.
Purple.
Nosebleed.
Coupled with Jiang You's flickering gaze from just now, which had been staring intently at her chest...
