Part 2
He followed his Qi body’s perception and looked up, meeting Sui An’s eyes.
Sui An, who had been silently following to protect his students: “…”
He lowered his eyes, looking at the little white python tightly coiled around him.
The little white python wasn’t just coiling around Sui An’s body; it was moving on him with incredible liveliness. It was also full of curiosity, tentatively trying to touch the various silk threads spread out like a large net in front of it, wanting to coil around them as well, completely unaware of how dangerous they were.
No wonder Luo Shizhen thought of separating his Qi body.
His Qi was indeed uniquely spiritedâperhaps a little too spirited. Luo Shizhen hadn’t even discovered Sui An, yet his Qi body was so sensitive.
It even had a strong sense of subjective initiative (clinging to people and not letting go).
With the little white python clinging to him and refusing to leave, Sui An could only helplessly release the mental power he used for concealment and leap down lightly from above.
Even though he had come down because he was discovered by a student, Sui An still appeared lazy and calm, as if sitting on a roof tailing students was a perfectly normal thing to do.
“The Awakener Center has conducted similar experiments, but no one has ever succeeded. If you want to try, you can.”
He slowly added another sentence: “But you must have a high-level Awakener supervising to avoid any issues.”
Luo Shizhen immediately said with surprise, “I want to try now! Sui Laoshi, can you supervise me?”
His Qi body was still coiled around Sui An. Facing the student whose eyes were bright with expectation, Sui An nodded without a change in expression.
“I can.”
“Thank you, Sui Laoshi!”
The little white python seemed to sense its host’s feeling of gratitude and became even more affectionate toward the body it was coiled around. It climbed all the way to the man’s shoulder, which faintly pulsed with power, and eagerly tried to climb onto his head.
Sui An remained unperturbed, his tone not even wavering:
“Recall your Qi essence. Since you’ve decided to try, try to consume as little as possible and attempt it in your best state.”
Luo Shizhen didn’t doubt him. “Okay, Sui Laoshi, I’ll recall it right away!”
The little white python was still a bit reluctant. Before leaving, it slid once around Sui An’s neck before returning to the main body.
The students walked in front, and Sui An slowly followed behind. Perhaps because of his long legs, even though he seemed to be walking at an unhurried pace, he followed them closely.
Luo Shizhen was already imagining how to achieve the separation of his Qi body.
He was very good at drawing inferences. Since Cheng Yunshao had come up with the idea of using bait to fish for anomalies, at this moment, Luo Shizhen’s first thought was using contamination to bait his Qi body.
“We can go track Scuttling Ghosts tonight! They run fast. Maybe my Qi body will automatically disconnect because of the distance!”
Chu Xiao frowned. He didn’t want Luo Shizhen to conduct this experiment. Qi is equivalent to an Awakener’s half-body; how can it be separated so casually?
If it were separated, could it come back? Would it cause a drop in Luo Shizhen’s strength? Would it affect his body?
These were all things to be considered.
Chu Xiao looked back at Sui An, feeling in his heart that this Sui Laoshi was extremely unreliable to actually agree to it just like that.
“Shizhen, you should still talk to Yongzhou about this. Once Yongzhou says it’s okay, then you can proceed, lest something goes wrong.”
Although Luo Shizhen really wanted to try it right away, he was also someone who listened to advice. He immediately nodded and agreed:
“Okay! I’ll contact Yongzhou as soon as I get back!”
After returning, Yongzhou was relatively calm upon receiving the news.
Experiments to separate Qi bodies had been done before, but they were first stuck at the very first step of “separation.”
No one had ever successfully and actively separated their Qi before. There were cases of parts of a Qi body being cut off by anomalies during battle, but that part of the Qi body immediately lost connection with the main body and dissipated without a trace.
So as long as Luo Shizhen didn’t conduct any dangerous experimentsâsuch as “finding an anomaly to cut off his own Qi body”âYongzhou still showed support.
Moreover, Luo Shizhen’s Watchman was the Control Supervisor Sui An. With Sui An there, there was nothing to worry about.
Luo Shizhen thus began his experiments.
The first time, he tried to separate his Qi body through meditation. But the released white python first scurried around the room out of curiosity, then coiled around everyone in the room once, and finally wanted to go onto the roof to take a look.
Luo Shizhen really couldn’t control it. Fortunately, Sui Laoshi was right on the roof and quickly brought the white python coiled around him into the room.
The second time, Luo Shizhen tried to use bait to induce the Qi body to separate. They ran to the streets in the middle of the night to squat for Scuttling Ghosts.
When the Scuttling Ghost was busy burying its head in a trash can to eat trash, a group of young Awakeners suddenly appeared. Every one of them was a high-sequence Awakener, and every one of their Qi bodies, except for Luo Shizhen’s, was filled with a violent aura.
The Scuttling Ghost, which hadn’t even reached Tier 1: “…”
That night, the group followed the Scuttling Ghost from the East Market to the West Market, from the South Ward to the North Ward. They even chased it through deserted suburban areas.
Luo Shizhen’s Qi body was very excited and gave chase the most vigorously, but it didn’t seem to help with the Qi separation at all.
No matter how far it chased, the white mist could stretch itself into a thin line, with one end connected to the Scuttling Ghost and the other end on Luo Shizhen.
When dawn broke, the Scuttling Ghost was cornered in an alleyway. Even though it had no intelligence, the look in its eyes was inexplicably resentful as it looked at everyone.
As the first ray of sunlight hit, it dissipated before them.
The next night, this Scuttling Ghost never appeared again.
In a garbage dump in the neighboring city, there was an additional Scuttling Ghost that was exceptionally different from its peers. It ate trash with fear and trepidation, and from time to time, it would look up while eating.
The third time, Luo Shizhen decided to use the remaining contamination in Lu Qiujin’s body to lure his own Qi body.
But he touched Lu Qiujin all over, and the Qi body just ate its fill, still failing to separate.
Lu Qiujin started to run a fever again, and as soon as he got a fever this time, Xiao Ge and Chu Xiao inexplicably asked him out for sparring, and in the end, the three of them came back covered in wounds.
Luo Shizhen was completely used to it by now.
Maybe they were just born to love fighting. Zhang Cai had said it too: the tempers of Awakeners are just more violent.
Now everyone lived in the same villa, saw each other every day, and fought every day.
Chu Xiaoâs Big Brother liked to fight Lu Qiujin.
Rong Nian and Wen Hu liked to pummel each other.
Cheng Yunshao didn’t participate, but he recorded videos with great interest whenever they fought.
A month passed, and Luo Shizhen’s Qi separation experiment had failed thirty-five times.
He hadn’t counted the number of times the others fought, but it must have far exceeded thirty-five. Cheng Yunshao didn’t even record videos anymore, saying his memory card was full.
Luo Shizhen had also become very experienced. He prepared a large number of wound medicines and applied them to everyone every time they finished fighting.
The one who needed medicine this time was Chu Xiao. Originally, it was always him and Xiao Shan fighting Lu Qiujin.
For some reason, today it became Xiao Shan and Lu Qiujin fighting Chu Xiao together.
It was really strange. When the air conditioner in Chu Xiaoâs room broke last night and he came to sleep in Luo Shizhenâs room for a night, he didn’t say there was any conflict between him and Xiao Shan.
Luo Shizhen was seriously dabbing iodine on his face. “You guys fought too hard this time. Your face is covered in wounds.”
Chu Xiaoâs expression didn’t change, as if he couldn’t feel the pain. He just looked intently at Luo Shizhen as he applied the medicine.
Hearing this, he asked back, “Am I not good-looking anymore?”
Luo Shizhen laughed. “Why are you so vain?”
Chu Xiao really loved beauty too much. Recently, he had even bought a bunch of new clothes, wearing them in different styles every day.
Clearly, during the day, he had to rely on Lin Ke to disguise himself as someone else, but even when disguised as a strange middle-aged man, Chu Xiao still dressed very well. He even specifically bought a bunch of nice clothes suitable for middle-aged men.
