However, as the purple light around his hand began to glow, his Discipline began to recover.
What else could possibly have such an effect, other than an s-ranked gem like the phylactery stone?
The amount of energy a Phylactery Stone could store was enough to fill a Paragon's body to the brim!
The Bookworm was starting to lose his composure.
Still, he watched nervously as the battle unfolded.
He was confident in his eighth mecha!
There was a flash of silver, and Lan Jue's opponent vanished.
Suddenly, a black light sprang up around the silver mecha. A terrifying suction force tugged at it from all sides, causing it to lose its balance.
Interdimensional power!
Spatial Rend!
Lan Jue's jaw dropped.
Now he knew why he'd sensed something familiar. Wasn't that the Wine Master's aura?
Lan Jue's silver mecha appeared overhead.
A blinding flash of silver light descended from the sky.
It was a ball of silver light, pulsing with unstable spatial energy.
In terms of explosive power, interdimensional power was no match for lightning. But in terms of destructive power, it was no less than lightning.
The lightning around Lan Jue's mecha began to shake violently. The surface layer was already beginning to crumble under the pressure of interdimensional power.
However, at this moment, the blue thunderbolt suddenly turned golden, and an unparalleled majesty was released from it.
"Spatial Rend. Seal!" The voice thundered.
Everything around them turned to gold.
It was as if time had stopped.
Even the sim pod itself had turned to gold!
"Bastard, what are you doing?
Stop! "The Bookworm leapt to his feet.
He clapped his hands together.
Two balls of white light fell upon the sim pod.
A thin film of light enveloped it.
Inside the simulation pod, in the virtual environment, everything vanished in an instant.
The only thing left in Lan Jue's mind was the Keeper's furious face.
"Ugh …" Lan Jue understood, and quickly retracted her Discipline.
"Chi —" The lid of the simulation pod opened, and a cloud of black smoke rose.
Xiu Xiu and Lin Guo-guo had already rushed over. When they saw that Lan Jue was sweating all over, but she was obviously fine, they were relieved.
The Bookworm's speed far exceeded that of his frail body.
He pulled Lan Jue to his feet. "Look at what you've done," he growled. "What have you done?
Who allowed you to use the Power of Law?
Didn't I tell you my simulation chamber couldn't withstand a Paragon's power? "
"Ahem!" Lan Jue awkwardly coughed twice, "I'm sorry, Senior, I really didn't mean it.
He was having so much fun that he forgot that it was virtual.
Your simulation pod is simply too amazing. It's a complete miracle.
I thought DreamNet wouldn't be of much use to us after we became God-ranked pilots.
Only now did he realize that he could fuse his Esper Abilities to fight.
Senior.
You're amazing.
You'll go down in history as one of the Major League's greatest scientists. "
Lan Jue listened to his praise.
The Bookworm's face softened a little, and he let go.
She loosened her grip on his hand. "Hurry and change your clothes. You stink.
Lan Jue chuckled and scurried away.
The last two hours had been a delightful exercise, and the excitement hadn't yet subsided.
In the past two hours, he had practiced to his heart's content, and his excitement had yet to subside.
In his daily meditations he'd infused it with energy, but it hadn't been fully charged.
In his daily meditation, he would always inject some energy into it, but until now, the Glowing Divine Stone had not been fully filled.
In his daily meditations he'd infused it with some of his Discipline, but it hadn't been fully charged.
After trying it out today, in just a few dozen seconds, it had helped him recover half of his abilities. With this kind of recovery speed, as long as he paid a little attention, it would definitely be able to greatly prolong his battle time.
In the past he hadn't dared use his ultimate moves, but now he didn't need to worry about them.
After Lan Jue left, the Bookworm looked at the pod with a pained expression. He hurried to inspect it.
He'd originally intended for Lan Jue to suffer the brunt of combat in the sim pod, but he'd had no choice but to do so.
Who would've thought it would turn out to be a test?
This allowed him to find some problems. After all, it was still a semi-finished product.
Zeus -1 docked at Skyfire's public airship hangar.
The Accountant was still asleep, and Lan Jue had to carry him down.
Because there were so many of them, they'd had to hire a verti-car. Together, they returned to Skyfire Avenue.
Lan Jue parked the car outside of Skyfire Avenue, then used his authority as a councilman to give the Bookworm and Su He temporary ID cards.
"Senior, are you going to see the Keeper now?" Lan Jue asked.
The Bookworm had a strange expression on his face. He looked sad, but also a little nervous.
But in the end, he still nodded.
"Go.
Let's go and see if that old fart is really going to die. "
Lan Jue exchanged a look with Su He. After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll go with you.
Xiu Xiu, Guoguo, you two head back first.
Xiu Xiu, give me the Tear of Neptune. "
"Yes, boss," Xiu Xiu answered. He produced the Tear of Neptune and handed it to Lan Jue.
The Bookworm's eyes lit up at the sight of it. "You bought it?
At the auction? "
"Yes," Lan Jue answered with a nod.
"What a spendthrift," the Bookworm growled.
"You know what this thing is for. It's an s-ranked power gem, but that's all.
Do you have nowhere to spend your money? "
Lan Jue smiled. "I have a purpose for it. You'll understand in a moment.
Let's go, this way. "Lan Jue gestured for the Bookworm to follow.
The Bookworm slapped his hand away. "I'm more familiar with this place than you are." He strode down Skyfire Avenue.
Lan Jue and Su He followed.
Lan Jue carried the Accountant on her shoulder.
The Skyfire Library was as quiet as ever.
Everyone who came here to read knew the rules. If you damaged a book, you had to pay for it. If you couldn't pay for it, you had to pay with your life.
As a result, very few people dared to come here to read.
The books here, however, were all in good condition.
The Bookworm walked into the bookstore and began to ascend the steps. His nose twitched as he inhaled the unique scent of ink. A look of disappointment crossed his face.
He was back. Finally back.
But why didn't he feel happy?
It was a familiar office. It was in the exact same location as the library he'd built on Lyr!
He didn't bother to knock. Instead, he pushed the door open.
Behind the massive desk, the swivel chair swiveled around to reveal a wizened face.
"I was wondering who could be so ill-mannered. So it's you, you old bastard!" The Keeper said.
The Bookworm fumed. "Who are you calling ill-mannered?
You're well-mannered, aren't you? You're about to die anyway.
Get the hell out of here. Give me back my place. "
Lan Jue carried the Accountant into the room. She placed him on a recliner on the other side of the desk.
"What did you do to my grandson?" The Keeper asked.
The Bookworm snorted. "You've taken poison."
"You're getting on in years, can't you be a little more normal?"
"Bullshit," the Bookworm retorted. "How am I not normal?
I'm a lot more normal than you.
You're a Paragon, you're the Arcane Magnate. You can't even save your own life. What's the point of saying all that? "
"I'm lying," the Keeper said.
"You think you're lying to me?"
Tsk … "He subconsciously replied, but then his pupils shrank, and his voice suddenly became strange." What did you say?
You're lying?
You're not going to die? "
The Keeper chuckled. "That's right!
I'd rather you die than I die! "
Lan Jue suddenly felt it was time to leave. It wasn't safe to stay here any longer!
He was just about to pick up the Accountant when the Keeper interjected. "Alright, don't worry about him.
Give me the Tear of Neptune. "
"Eh?" Lan Jue blinked in surprise. "How did you know I had the Tear of Neptune?"
The Keeper chuckled. "It's called telepathy.
I was doing some research today when I came across an S-ranked gem. Then I remembered you were on Lyr.
I looked up some information on the Tear of Neptune, and happened to see you at the auction.
Not bad. You've got a future. "
Lan Jue was speechless. What did he mean by 'happened to see'? How could you just watch a video of an auction like that?
"You old bastard, I'm going to kill you!" A dark shadow lunged at the Keeper.
"Wait!" The Keeper held out a hand, blocking the Bookworm's path.
"I'll show you something before you get angry."
As he spoke, he produced a small box. Inside it was the energy core he'd brought back from Taihua.
The Bookworm's attention was drawn, but the anger in his eyes didn't fade. "I'll deal with you later, you old bastard." With a flick of his wrist, a device appeared in his hand. He placed it on the table and began to scan it.
Lan Jue walked over to the Keeper, and placed the Tear and the device in the crystal box by his side. The Keeper smiled at him, and waved him away.
Lan Jue smiled as well. She hadn't failed in her mission. It looked like the Bookworm wasn't really angry.
Quietly slipping out the door, Lan Jue dragged Su He along.
Su He looked worried. "Junior, are they going to be okay?"
Lan Jue shook her head. She smiled. "They'll be fine.
Knowing your teacher's temper, if he was angry, things wouldn't be like this.
Besides, I'm sure the Keeper has a way to convince him to come here.
Let the two of them adjust themselves.
I'll arrange a place for you to stay. "
