Chapter 147: 099 General (Second Update)_2
Zhou Yan’s meaning was very clear, the other party was now in trouble, and revealing this secret was precisely to win them over and gain their protection. There was no need to tell such easily exposed lies. Additionally, this aqua blue Crystal Stone was likely harmless.
General Song, having lived for decades and often occupying high positions, naturally had no less experience than Zhou Yan. As soon as he heard it, he understood what Zhou Yan hinted at and then he laughed, “The person who told you this secret has the surname Fang, right?” His tone was confident, clearly he had no doubts about his guess.
He did not make his words too explicit, but Zhou Yan understood that General Song already knew it was Fang Yuxin who had spoken. He did not hide anything and shared Fang Yuxin’s request, “She hopes that no one else will know that the news came from her. I have promised her, and I have assured her that I will help her get rid of Mr. Zheng’s trouble.” Saying this, he gave a wry smile, “General, you will have to help me with this.”
General Song was not upset; instead, he laughed heartily, “Don’t worry, as long as the news is true, I definitely won’t let Zheng Tianhe trouble her again.” Saying this, he paused and shook his head slightly, “I had heard before that he was a bit crazy, but who knew that he has become even more extreme now. Research is important, sure, but there’s no justification for arbitrarily capturing living people for experiments! Moreover, if Miss Fang really has that kind of ability, it would be a good thing for the entire Safe Zone.”
He left something unsaid: If Fang Yuxin could really help Ordinary People safely awaken as superpower users, then as long as she was willing to lend a hand, they could gain more superpower users in a short amount of time. But if Zheng Tianhe used her for research, who knows how long it would take to produce any results!
Besides, if someone really had that ability, wouldn’t it be expected they’d have some trump cards? If they angered Fang Yuxin, they might end up with nothing!
Simply foolish!
Fortunately, General Li had not been foolish and had rejected Zheng Tianhe’s insane request. The results proved that he was right.
Thinking this far, General Song held the aqua blue Elemental Crystal in his hand. Being an Ordinary Person, he could not sense the energy fluctuations emitted by the Elemental Crystal. But just looking at it, he felt that the Elemental Crystal had a mysterious magic.
He attempted to absorb it; however, there was no change at all in the Elemental Crystal, which made him raise his eyebrows in surprise and look at Zhou Yan for an explanation. Zhou Yan was also shocked—for a moment when General Song tried to absorb it, he sensed that the energy fluctuations around the Elemental Crystal suddenly became intense, but it was only for an instant before it calmed down again.
He hadn’t expected General Song to try absorbing it and couldn’t help saying, “General! Although I believe Miss Fang wouldn’t lie or use something dangerous to scheme against us, given your status, it’s still best to be cautious!”
Who knew General Song would just wave his hand, casually saying, “The Fang Family wouldn’t do such lowly things, I trust her. However, it seems that this kind of Crystal Stone isn’t something just anyone can absorb.” Though his tone expressed regret, his eyes showed no dissatisfactions, but rather complete calmness.
His high position over the years had forged a composure not easily shaken.
He quickly got over the regret of not being able to absorb the Elemental Crystal and moved on to ask, “By the way, do you know how to cut open this black stone? Miss Fang must have told you, right?” A Crystal Stone that could awaken Ordinary People was precious indeed, but just one was not significant. If it were only this, Miss Fang would never have made the request for Zhou Yan to help get rid of Zheng Tianhe’s trouble!
“You truly have the foresight of a general!” Zhou Yan couldn’t help but compliment before he said, “Miss Fang indeed said that not every Ordinary Person can awaken superpowers, and what kind of superpowers one can awaken to is likely related to their talent. Only by finding the corresponding Crystal Stone can one successfully awaken. Moreover, they can be cut open using spiritual power.”
“Spiritual power…” General Song murmured and then called for his adjutant. His adjutant was a young man around thirty and was also a Spiritual Ability User.
After the adjutant came in and straight away, as if he had not seen the aluminum alloy box on the table nor the items inside, he walked up to the table. After saluting respectfully, he asked, “General, what are your orders?”
General Song pointed to the black Elemental Stone and told him, “Try it, use your spiritual power to cut it open.”
The adjutant, upon hearing this, showed no surprise and directly picked up the Elemental Stone and wrapped it with his spiritual power. As it was his first attempt, he didn’t do well, and it took about a minute before he grasped the feeling and managed to cut a mark on the surface of the black stone.
He placed the Elemental Stone in front of General Song, showing him the mark, and said, “It can indeed be cut with spiritual power, but I am not yet proficient. I’m afraid it will take a considerable amount of time to cut it open completely. Also, I found that using spiritual power to cut this type of stone is beneficial for the Cultivation of spiritual power.”
Both General Song and Zhou Yan were taken aback when they heard this. General Song looked at Zhou Yan, who shook his head slightly; Fang Yuxin had not told him this news. Whether she was unaware or did not intend to tell him, he did not know. Regardless, Fang Yuxin had given them a tremendous benefit!
After a moment’s thought, General Song spoke seriously, “Go and invite General Li. Tell him I need to discuss something with him.”
