Good, I Am Indeed Researching Him

Ultimately, being Believer who leans towards upholding the Truth, Ji Yue didn't mix anything else into this invitation.

Upon hearing the roars and howls coming from afar, everyone immediately plunged into the Void without saying a word.

Ji Yue glanced at the spot where Mo Wu had disappeared, then angrily stabbed him again before stepping into the Void as the last one to follow.

I'm home again...

Cheng Shi looked at the boundless darkness before him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

I'm coming and going so frequently, won't He get annoyed with me?

As he thought this, he silently recited the prayer of praise once more.

Since neither name was mentioned nor any particular person was shown to be favored, and since both of them could hear it anyway, it was as if they were bowing together.

Unlike Cheng Shi's "calmness and composure," Bailing had obviously never been to the Void before. When she stepped onto the Nothingness "ground," she instinctively reached out and took Cheng Shi's arm.

"If you keep holding my arm like that, I'll have to charge you."

This is a VIP girlfriend spot.

Bailing was taken aback, then hugged him even tighter. She licked her lips and drifted into her own fantasy.

"How much does it cost? Is it calculated by the day?"

I'll pay for one day first!

Hmm, a girlfriend for a day isn't bad either.

But let's be clear, a girlfriend for one day can't only be a girlfriend for one day...

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned.

As an upright person, I often feel out of place with you [Filth and Decay] people because I am not perverted enough.

Not only Cheng Shi, but everyone's eyes were on this "pretending not to understand" [Filth and Decay] Believer, making her lower her head in shame.

Ji Yue looked at Bailing with a playful expression for a moment, then turned to Fang Shiqing and Cheng Shi, explaining before they could ask:

"It's not that I don't want to Travel the Void, it's just that this is not a place where the Truth shines."

Furthermore, my talent only allows a maximum of six people to ascend into the Void. You must understand that before finding Experiment Field No. 69, even if you seek refuge in the Void, it will be meaningless.

Because at this moment, the Wall of True Knowledge Void Experiment Ground will not allow anyone to enter!

So even if we come up, we won't find what we want. Not only that, we might even encounter [Chaos] Believer who can walk in the Void.

These people are far more difficult to deal with than the Bellringer Knight.

Everyone nodded in agreement, except for Cheng Shi, who listened to everything with a strange expression, and then pursed his lips and said:

"It's no use saying any of this. It's your impotent rage that has attracted the madmen of the Bellicose Knights."

"..."

Ji Yue paused, her hands clenched tightly, and her eyes turned cold, anger clearly gathering between her brows.

"I'm curious, you're clearly Scholar of 'Truth,' so how come you're just like those reckless 'warriors,' unable to control your temper?"

Her expression grew colder and colder, and the Cheng Shi almost seemed to spew out a howling Frigid Wind!

"Look at that expression, everyone agrees with me, right?"

"Okay, very good."

Ji Yue's face darkened, and she drew a long spear, raising her hand to stab. But just as she thrust, Fang Shiqing moved closer and, mimicking Bailing, took her hand.

This touch made Ji Yue suddenly calm down.

Her furious gaze instantly cleared, and she let out a long sigh before throwing the spear to the ground.

"Smart, you figured it out."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

From the moment they first met, he felt that this Erudite Scholar from the Void Energetics was a bit strange.

Based on past observations, Believer of "Truth" mostly exhibit qualities such as composure, calmness, wit, and keen observation, just like Fang Shiqing, who is more like a true Believer of "Truth".

But Ji Yue is different. Although she is insightful and quick-witted, she is also irritable, easily angered, and even slightly aggressive.

However, this irritability and anger were not as obvious as some brutes; it was clearly "integrated" into her own characteristics, namely, her aloofness and extremely rapid mood swings.

This kind of personality is like mixing a few pieces of broken charcoal into a pile of white sand. While it may not be described as tearing apart the sand, it is certainly not harmonious.

Could it be that she has also begun the "fusion" process?

And what's more, it's a fusion of "Truth" and "war"?

Otherwise, how do you explain that a Believer in "Truth" has collected so many lances?

Shouldn't they prefer rulers and chalk?

Cheng Shi didn't voice her question, but Ji Yue already understood. She didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything and very cleanly and decisively revealed her "secret".

"The foundation of cooperation lies in understanding each other. Now that we have come to the same path, I will naturally not hide anything from my partner."

Yes, I have been tainted by the Divinity of war.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi and Fang Shiqing both frowned.

Cheng Shi frowned, naturally because his guess was correct in the right direction, but the details were wrong.

She did not merge with Divinity, but was tainted by Divinity.

The so-called contamination is different from the various "containment methods" of Divinity described earlier.

If we compare Divinity and the human form to "items" and "lockers," then:

Sealing is like storing, and containing is like painting. But being stained is not about putting "items" in the cabinet, but rather about the items placed next to the cabinet, which has a negative impact on the cabinet itself.

Cheng Shi was very curious about how she had become tainted by the Divinity of [war], so he remained silent and waited quietly for the answer.

Looking at Fang Shiqing again, her frown wasn't because of this.

She recalled that Ji Yue had never been as "honest" as she had described during the previous four days of Trials.

As for the reason, it's easy to guess: it's simply because their strength is too weak, resulting in a lack of resonance Erudite Scholar above 2400 and those below 2400.

Thinking of this, a slightly self-deprecating smile appeared on her face, but her expression was noticeably more serious than before.

Clearly, this Fire Keeper was also very interested in news of the war.

Ji Yue didn't hesitate; she continued:

"There are many research directions in the Tower of Reason, but very few schools of thought can actually be applied to the battlefield."

Scholar Void Energetics, in particular, may be superior in communicating with the Void, but their talent in combat is almost zero.

This lack of practical experience may not be obvious at lower skill levels, but at higher skill levels, research and discovery can only serve as supplementary means and cannot replace confrontation and struggle.

Therefore, as early as when I reached 2000 points, I began to plan ahead.

However, the way to make up for this shortcoming is simple: just learn it.

As Scholar of the Tower of Reason, I am never short of learning methods, and Believer of [War] are the most readily available learning templates.

So I began to imitate them, trying to combine their fighting techniques with manipulating the Void.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder I've never seen Erudite Scholar raining down gunfire from the sky before; it turns out this is something they figured out themselves.

"After much trial and error, I finally found inspiration and combined the power of the Void with the sharpness of cold weapons."

However, this method still has problems because I don't have that many melee weapons to collect.

As you can probably see, this method relies on quantity to win; if the quantity is insufficient, there is no way to win.

So, after being hindered by difficulties beyond the Mortals, I prayed to my Lord for a solution.

And His guidance to me was...

A Trials of war.

When Ji Yue got to this point, her expression clearly changed again. She seemed unwilling to recall that Trials, but somehow, she still forced herself to continue, despite her discomfort:

"That was a legendary battle about the founding of the nation of [War], and I held out for three days in that battle and finally won the Trials."

My squad was the last to climb the blood-red city wall amidst the flames and the setting sun. Looking at the mountains of corpses and Sea of Blood outside the city, I finally understood the meaning of His guidance.

Then...

I moved the entire devastated battlefield into my own Void.

From that moment on, this battlefield, overflowing with the Divinity of war, has constantly influenced me...

Cheng Shi's expression changed slightly, and he was horrified.

Sis, are you really not afraid? What's the difference between you and carrying a virus transmission source on your back?

But then he frowned.

That's not right. Ji Yue hadn't been affected by the war back then, so how could she have done something so foolish that anyone with eyes could see would have huge side effects?

Especially since she is an Erudite Scholar, it's even more impossible...

Etc!

Erudite Scholar!?

Ah?

No, girl, are you really just after all those weapons?

You wouldn't be trying to use this to study "war," would you?

Holy crap, learning the fighting methods of war Believer isn't enough for you anymore, so you've started studying their Lord of Grace directly, huh!?

Seeing the fleeting shock in Cheng Shi's eyes, Ji Yue actually revealed a "gratified" smile.

"You are indeed clever; no wonder Fang Jue was fooled by you."

Yes, I am indeed studying Him.
