My Arms Can Turn into Blades
Chapter 478 - 17: Surrender! Surrender!
Although Chen Lusi felt that Ji Xin’s words were a bit exaggerated.
But after confirming that the two sisters were not nearby at the moment and had followed Shanli to handle the aftermath of the incident, he gave up the idea of leaving directly and instead stayed at the Celestial Strategy Mansion to confirm the changes after he condensed the Stone.
Indeed, a lot happened today. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
From the pollution burst caused by Catherine’s Authority Ability to the homotypic revenge at the Russian Orthodox Church Holy Land.
Although Chen Lusi’s Tier had advanced, he mostly acted on instinct, or more accurately, based on past experience.
Until now, he hasn’t had the time to systematically understand the changes after his Tier advancement.
This situation is certainly far from healthy. After all, apart from the Technique of rapid movement ignoring obstacles combined with Talismans, he is completely unaware of other changes after condensing the Stone.
And as far as he knows, it seems no Advanced Empowerer is like this.
So Chen Lusi texted the two sisters, telling them that after he came back, he went to the seventh underground level of the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters, which he had visited once before, to get familiar with his changes—he didn’t try it in the top-floor office because the space was too small.
And Xia Yue and Ji Xin didn’t follow him; they seemed to have to discuss matters related to the Roman Catholic Church.
But considering that Chen Lusi might need the opinion of someone experienced.
Ji Xin sent Tang Language to accompany him.
Although Chen Lusi was somewhat skeptical about whether Tang Language could help, he didn’t show it.
The two headed towards the elevator one after the other.
Tang Language lagged half a step behind, glanced at the cat, then at Chen Lusi’s back, and then at the cat again... over and over.
Upon arriving at the elevator, she didn’t dare to get too close to the cat; Chen Lusi stood in one corner of the elevator, and she stood in the opposite corner.
Speechless.
"Actually, this cat won’t do anything."
Seeing her in this state, Chen Lusi thought for a moment and still explained, "At most, it will just meow, and given your size, even if it wants to do something, you can probably handle it easily."
"That’s because you haven’t seen its true form, and even if it doesn’t do anything... what about you?"
Tang Language tugged at the hem of her trailing dress, moved back a bit, and whispered, "Many of your Techniques are quite absurd, whether it’s the initial shadow or the recent rapid movement splitting space."
Chen Lusi directly retorted, "...then Xia Yue is stronger than me, right?"
"Seems like he’s a bit stronger than you at the moment." Tang Language nodded.
Chen Lusi continued to ask, "Do you find his Authority Ability easy to understand?"
Tang Language shook her head, "Not easy to understand either."
"Does he hit you for no reason? Or do something against you?"
Chen Lusi finally laid it out, "He doesn’t, so why do you think I would?"
"..."
Tang Language looked at Chen Lusi, blinked, seemingly processing.
About two seconds later.
"Oh right."
She lifted the hem of her dress, slowly moved next to Chen Lusi, and said, "But what’s with your Technique? It’s one thing if the shadow is another Authority Ability of yours, but what’s with the rapid movement splitting space?My ’Tail-Bundling Shuttle’ can’t reach this extent, and the strange things don’t stop there, you know? When I found you at school, my instincts were crazily warning me to leave quickly... It’s not bragging! My intuition and instinct warnings are super accurate, and since there was a warning, it couldn’t have been good.If I had done something back then, you definitely would have chopped me."
"..."
Looking at Tang Language, who suddenly became very outgoing instead of timid, and began to endlessly describe her feelings, Chen Lusi was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "I’ll explain this to you later. I’m actually very curious, are you really almost three hundred years old?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Language nodded vigorously, then stretched out her hand, paused in mid-air hesitating for a while, prepared herself mentally, lightly patted Chen Lusi’s shoulder, and said both timidly and proudly, "You should call me sister!"
"Then how did you spend the three hundred years?"
Chen Lusi became more curious, "You should know quite a few Empowerers from the old times, right? Have many friends passed away? Has the Celestial Strategy Mansion also changed several rounds of friends?"
"Oh, not really."
Tang Language shook her head, casually replied, "I’ve only been with the Celestial Strategy Mansion for seven years, it’s still the same damn group, as for Empowerers from the old times... My grandma said, back then my irresponsible parents, due to the chaos of war, fearing for my safety, forcibly put me into hibernation right after I was born, so I don’t know any Empowerers from the old times."
"......"
Chen Lusi was silent for a long time, "Then when did you end the hibernation? When did you wake up?"
"Seventeen years ago!"
Tang Language immediately replied, "I remember very clearly, I just played for ten years, and then my grandma had me join the Celestial Strategy Mansion, saying it was to save our group."
"......"
Hearing this, Chen Lusi slowly closed his eyes.
No wonder...
This is just a more outgoing, armed version of Lin Wan...
"Why are you closing your eyes?"
Tang Language noticed Chen Lusi closing his eyes, first felt it strange, then thought of something, suddenly jumped in place, realized, "I’m not seventeen!!!"
Ding, the elevator arrived.
"Hmm, I know."
Chen Lusi casually placated her and then directly walked out of the elevator.
Tang Language followed, muttering, "I’m really not seventeen, our group counts by biological age, without a doubt, I’ve already passed the maturity period, entered the young adult stage, even grandma says I look robust, my fur is especially shiny..."
