During the week that Ye Xiao was in seclusion for intensive training.
A lot has also happened at Jiang University.
Lin Yun, a student in the top-tier Genius Class, chose to drop out of school after losing a battle with Ye Xiao.
Wang Hou's career evolved again, and he became a B-level Spirit Qi Master, becoming a dark horse student who later caught up with him.
Su Muyun successfully cultivated her fourth Azure Phoenix Flying Sword, and many prestigious sword-cultivating sects sent people to discuss Su Muyun future postgraduate studies.
In preparation for the Jiang City Five-School League, Jiang University began its internal selection trials.
Several unusual riots have occurred in the Red Abyss World.
Rift have loosened in many parts of the world.
This year, the global leakage of demonic energy is 12% higher than in previous years.
Officials stated that this was within a controllable range.
The leakage of demonic energy has resulted in the first mutated animals.
There have been no reports of demonic mutations in humans.
Many things happened within Jiang University this week.
And the world is also full of turbulent events.
These news reports seemed too distant for Ye Xiao, a student.
But ever since what happened with Long Ji.
Ye Xiao makes sure to check out the major news happening around the world every day.
While other classmates were engrossed in gossip and rumors.
Ye Xiao was concerned about the leak of demonic energy.
After the seal on the Rift loosened.
The demonic energy emanating from monsters from the other world also emanates along the Rift.
Demonic energy is clearly in conflict with and contradicts the spiritual energy needed for human cultivation.
However, according to research by some scientists...
Small amounts of demonic energy will not harm the human body.
" Ye Xiao! What are you looking at?"
"I didn't expect you to be at the library!"
"You've been so secretive this week! Even the school beauty, Su, can't find you!"
Ye Xiao is sitting in a library seat.
Looking back, they found it was Wu Xiaorui and Zhao Xiuxiu.
He was deliberately teasing and making fun of Su Muyun.
And walking up behind them was Su Muyun.
He shook his head repeatedly and smiled helplessly.
What nonsense are you spouting?
"Everyone is busy cultivating, and Ye Xiao also told me that he's going into seclusion for a week."
"It seems your seclusion has yielded quite good results."
As Su Muyun spoke, her gaze fell on Ye Xiao's face.
At this time...
The three of them stood around Ye Xiao's seat.
Wu Xiaorui curiously peeked out, staring at what Ye Xiao was looking at.
"Hey! Ye Xiao, you're so old-fashioned! Why do you like reading newspapers?"
"Isn't this something only old people watch?!"
Zhao Xiuxiu, who was standing next to her, also curiously snatched it away.
"Let me see too!"
She quickly glanced at it. "Huh! Why is it an old newspaper from several years ago? You're really strange, why would you read something that has nothing to do with cultivation?"
Zhao Xiuxiu put the old newspaper back on the table.
" Ye Xiao, you look so young, how come your hobbies are all so old-fashioned!"
Faced with the two's teasing.
Ye Xiao simply smiled and did not refute.
Su Muyun, however, curiously picked up the old newspaper on the table.
She only glanced at it.
Then he read out an important news item from the document.
"Three renowned scientists were diagnosed with schizophrenia and paranoia, and subsequently committed suicide at home..."
After Su Muyun finished reading, she frowned and looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly.
The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if they understood each other perfectly.
Do you know these three famous scientists?
Su Muyun nodded.
"I'd heard about it before; they supposedly found through research that absorbing small amounts of demonic energy wouldn't affect human health."
These words were spoken.
Wu Xiaorui and Zhao Xiuxiu, who were standing nearby, looked on with surprise and disbelief.
"That's demonic energy! If you absorb it, won't you turn into a demon?"
"It's obviously a fake scientist spouting nonsense!"
At this moment, Su Muyun explained.
"No, these three scientists are genuine scientists, and they were the ones who single-handedly built and established the frontline base of the Rift."
"Furthermore, they discovered a method to reinforce the seal on the Rift, the practical value of which continues to this day."
Upon hearing this, the two women immediately shut their disrespectful mouths.
But Wu Xiaorui couldn't hold back any longer.
"If he's a great scientist, why would he say something like that?"
Zhao Xiuxiu, standing to the side, tried to understand.
"Could it be that scientists have actually discovered that small amounts of demonic energy are harmless to the body?"
At this moment, Ye Xiao spoke.
"I'm more curious about the reasons why these three scientists fell ill, and even committed suicide."
"I always feel there's a certain disconnect between what they say and what they do."
Su Muyun nodded in agreement.
She agreed with Ye Xiao's statement.
Actually, there's something I've always been curious about too.
"As we all know, our world is full of spiritual energy, which is also the fundamental source for all cultivators."
"But where exactly does this spiritual energy come from?"
Did heaven and earth come into being out of thin air, or did they grow from a certain place?
These words caused both Wu Xiaorui and Zhao Xiuxiu to freeze in shock.
After thinking for a long time, they finally blurted out a sentence.
"Muyun! Your question feels like asking whether the chicken or the egg came first?"
"Yes! This question is completely meaningless!"
At this moment, Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "No, it's meaningful to discuss this issue!"
Wu Xiaorui and Zhao Xiuxiu were speechless after being rebuked.
They immediately pointed at Ye Xiao and Su Muyun and said.
"Can you two be considered a harmonious couple?"
"One person sings, and the other harmonizes; they have such great chemistry!"
"If you find this interesting, then you can chat."
"We're going to get milk tea! Muyun, do you want some?"
Su Muyun smiled and declined, "Thank you, but no need."
then.
Wu Xiaorui and Zhao Xiuxiu left.
Su Muyun sat down opposite Ye Xiao.
" Ye Xiao, why do you think this question is meaningful?"
Ye Xiao replied, "Because I am Martialist, I have never absorbed spiritual energy, and I don't know what it feels like to absorb spiritual energy."
Su Muyun gave a brief description.
"It's probably like a cool, refreshing stream flowing through your body."
"It's very comfortable, and it will help every blood vessel, organ, muscle, and even cell in your body evolve."
Ye Xiao continued, "Have you ever absorbed demonic energy?"
The question immediately stunned Su Muyun.
After a long pause, she shook her head.
"No."
Just then, Ye Xiao threw out a question that sent chills down Su Muyun's spine.
This was a question Su Muyun had never considered.
I don't even dare to think about this question in depth!
Ye Xiao's lips curled into a strange smile as he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate.
"Then how can you tell whether you're absorbing spiritual energy or demonic energy?"
