My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 118 - 111: Tampering
The massive old book had just been opened, and the pages began to turn automatically.
A hurried rustling sound filled the air.
Chen Lusi looked at the old book placed horizontally in front of him, flipping quickly like a fan, feeling curious and wanting to see what was written on it.
But the speed was too fast, making it impossible to see clearly.
He could only see afterimages flashing continuously before his eyes.
The book turned from the first page all the way to the last page.
Boom—
The blank of the last page appeared before Chen Lusi’s eyes.
Then the book paused, slamming shut abruptly.
It was as if it couldn’t find a suitable record, simply closing as if to dismiss him.
Chen Lusi was slightly stunned.
From afar.
Luo Mountain also frowned, just about to step forward.
But suddenly.
The book that had closed shivered again, then reluctantly floated back in front of Chen Lusi.
Then, as if forcibly opened by someone, the pages began to turn once more.
Rustle rustle rustle—
Chen Lusi suddenly turned his head.
The illusion of a little girl beside him intensified.
But there was indeed nothing beside him.
The two people behind him also didn’t react at all.
And this time, the pages didn’t fly for long.
Halfway through turning, it paused and then suddenly flipped back to the first page.
The first page with lines of seal script came into view.
They seemed to be names.
But for someone like Chen Lusi, a modern person, he really couldn’t understand them... They were like graffiti to him.
And soon, he didn’t bother to understand those seal script names.
Because he noticed that something was pushing those names downwards.
Although it defied common sense...
Chen Lusi indeed witnessed with his own eyes, the names on the first page being pushed down as if pressed by something, like a stack of blocks.
Until.
A blank line appeared at the top of the first page.
The process then stopped.
Next, a stroke appeared in the blank space.
Chen Lusi’s eyes widened slightly.
Was it going to write now?
However, after the stroke appeared, it stopped; the blank space only had that single stroke.
Pausing for a long time, seemingly unable to continue.
That stroke was erased, then the simplified ’Chen Lusi’ slowly appeared in the blank space.
Chen Lusi: "..."
He hadn’t reacted yet.
His name glowed faintly with a golden light, then slowly faded away.
The first column returned to ’blank’.
And the names that had been pushed down slowly crawled back.
Chen Lusi: "..."
Rustle rustle rustle.
The pages flew again.
This time stopping at the center, where the words ’Slashing’ appeared in the blank space of the central page; this time in seal script, yet looking perfunctory, as if casually scribbled.
Boom—
The old book slammed shut again.
Everything happened very quickly.
Before Chen Lusi could react, the book was closed.
He remained silent for a moment, slowly turning his head to look at Luo Mountain and Xia Yue.
...Wondering if they noticed anything?
"All done?"
Luo Mountain seemed not to notice anything unusual, asking directly upon seeing Chen Lusi turn back.
Chen Lusi thought for a moment, choosing not to mention the anomalies, but silently nodded.
Receiving a definitive response, Luo Mountain came to his side, then placed a hand on his shoulder and raised the other hand, aiming at the old book on the stone platform.
Rustle rustle rustle—
The old book fluttered.
"Slashing..."
Luo Mountain muttered as he looked at the words on the ’Descriptive Book’ page, "Can record, center position, mainstream Authority... Stayed on the first page for so long, I thought it was the Authority of the first page, lucky it was not."
Chen Lusi: "..."
Silence.
Luo Mountain withdrew his hand, then looked at Chen Lusi, saying, "That’s it."
Chen Lusi thought for a while, resisting the urge to ask what was on the first page, and instead asked, "The young lady... which page is Si Jiayan’s Authority Ability recorded on?"
Luo Mountain glanced at him, unsure why he asked this, but hesitated for a moment, thinking it wasn’t really a secret, and explained, "The young lady’s Authority is recorded on the fourth page."
Chen Lusi: "..."
He felt.
This time Kunlun... seemed to have messed up.
Inviting a thief into the house?
In the distance.
Xia Yue frowned slightly, looking at Chen Lusi with curiosity.
...
Chen Lusi opened the book.
The pages fluttered.
His name appeared on the first page at the same time.
All the Authority holders of the Ancient System suddenly felt something odd.
Yet couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
It was like a sudden gust of wind.
They sensed the wind, but couldn’t touch it.
Many tried to probe further.
But as Chen Lusi’s name was covered by ’blank’,
The wind vanished... everything returned to normal.
Among them, Si Yujie at Celestial Strategy Trading perceived it most clearly.
Today she normally worked, yawning as usual at the front desk.
Chen Lusi and Xia Yue had gone to Kunlun, but Xia Panqiu and Wu You were still practicing in the gourd... Even if they didn’t practice, she couldn’t leave nearby.
So she felt quite bored every day.
When Chen Lusi opened the ’Descriptive Book’.
Si Yujie was propping her chin with one hand, idly wondering what the absent Chen Lusi was doing at that moment.
It was merely a distraction for her.
She was simply concerned about the younger generation and happened to think of it.
Under normal circumstances... the thought would turn to something else.
But.
When she tried to think of something else.
She realized.
Chen Lusi’s face wouldn’t fade away.
His figure was firmly fixed in her mind... and the face became clearer and clearer.
Eventually.
Chen Lusi’s figure was imprinted in her mind like a brand.
"..."
Si Yujie slowly released the hand supporting her cheek and was slightly dazed.
He left less than a day ago, right?
What’s wrong with me?
Her expression was strange... She got up from the front desk and then walked to the bathroom in high heels.
Swish—
Si Yujie bent down, her round hips slightly raised, cupped water in her hands, splashed it on her face, and then looked up.
Her beautiful face was reflected in the mirror.
Whether it was because of the water or something else.
That branded figure finally disappeared.
But...
Si Yujie looked at herself in the mirror, her expression still a bit strange.
Why?
Am I being charmed?
That’s impossible.
I don’t like young boys; it’s more like treating him as a younger brother.
And he’s not handsome... seems quite handsome.
But he’s not strong... seems quite strong.
His personality is average... actually quite interesting.
"..."
The more Si Yujie thought about it, the stranger her expression became.
...
Chen Lusi had no idea that opening the book would also influence Si Yujie far away at Celestial Strategy Trading.
At this moment.
He had already been led out of that foggy space by Luo Mountain.
The three of them returned to the top of the mountain.
"It’s troublesome. I will inform others about the process in the group,"
Luo Mountain looked at Xia Yue, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Now you can be at ease. The Authority Ability name ’Slashing’ is very straightforward, which should be a relief for many."
"That works,"
Xia Yue was noncommittal, "Take us to Celestial Strategy Mansion; that monkey’s issue still needs handling."
"Alright,"
Luo Mountain turned around, looking at the distant Giant Bronze Gate, "Please enter."
Xia Yue nodded and then walked forward with Chen Lusi.
The two of them passed through the Bronze Gate and disappeared from the mountain top.
Luo Mountain watched them leave, then let out a sigh of relief, finally feeling a weight lifted off his mind.
Slashing...
The Authority name was simple and straightforward, and even the ’Descriptive Book’ acknowledged it. The fact that it couldn’t be recorded likely had nothing to do with Yellow Springs.
He had been overthinking it.
Luo Mountain shook his head and started to head back.
Suddenly.
A rumbling thunder echoed from above.
Luo Mountain paused, looked up, and noticed that the mountain top of Kunlun was covered in dark clouds.
Lightning moved through the clouds, and thunder seemed ready to crash at any moment.
Is it going to rain?
Luo Mountain looked away, shook his head again, and continued forward.
But as he took a step.
Buzz—
A faint buzzing sounded suddenly.
The Kunlun Mountain Range began to tremble violently, as if about to come to life.
The Spirit became extremely restless.
This wave was all too familiar.
Luo Mountain’s expression changed, realizing something was wrong.
Wait!?
The legendary sign of Activation!?
The legendary Activation on the Kunlun Mountain Range!?
This is Kunlun!
How is this possible!?
Why!?
...
At the same time.
Near Nachi Platform.
The old man named Chai Pool was collecting bottles left by tourists.
His movements were neither fast nor slow.
Occasionally, when tired, he would stop to massage his back, rest for a moment, and glance towards the direction of the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Like an ordinary old man.
Stopping again to rest.
The old man lit a cigarette and looked into the distance at the Kunlun Mountain Range, breathing a sigh of relief, "Looks like Xia Yue wasn’t lying this time."
Xia Yue had already left.
If nothing happens... that’s a great relief.
But as this thought arose.
Rumble.
Thunder suddenly roared.
The old man, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked up and suddenly froze.
The next second.
The cigarette in his mouth.
Fell straight down.
"Xia Yue! You damn jinx!!!"
Chai Pool cursed angrily, then sprinted towards Nachi Platform, fumbling to take out coins.
His hands were trembling even as he tossed the coins.
The legend of Activation happening on Kunlun Mountain!?
What did Xia Yue do!?
