Chapter 219: Quarrelling Young Couple
Chu Ge validated the progress of Chef Jin and his group and left the Black Room contentedly. He rode his electric bike to pick up Qiu Wuji.
The abilities of this group of people were becoming more and more intriguing.
Chef Jin made things taste bad, while his wife made food seem incredibly delicious. In essence, it had nothing to do with the food itself. Food isn’t inherently bad-tasting or sparkling. The issue lay with their senses.
Taste, smell, and sight.
It’s just that taste could only be experienced through food, which made it seem like a food-related ability. However, his power didn’t affect the food itself. It directly affected the senses of taste and smell.
As they continued to develop their abilities, could they extend their effects to the other senses? When the couple joined forces, they could even deprive someone of their five senses if they wanted to...
With such a powerful golden saint ultimate move, they still allowed themselves to be beaten by Rong Fu. Fortunately, they learned from their mistake, and now they seemed quite formidable.
The reason it only “seemed” was because it wasn’t useful for Chu Ge. He didn’t need his five senses with his divine consciousness so developed. So, with a punch, he had subdued the couple easily.
Seeing the couple’s defeated expressions, Chu Ge wasn’t sure how effective their ability would be against other formidable ability users, but it was clearly much stronger than before...
“Deprivation of the senses, quite impressive,” Qiu Wuji embraced Chu Ge’s waist and sat on the backseat, listening to him recount his experience. She chuckled, “The ability users in this world probably can’t replace everything with divine consciousness like we can. I was observing mother...”
“Huh?”
“...Aunty, she doesn’t seem to be able to do it,” Qiu Wuji corrected herself with a hint of grievance and continued, “Maybe those who specialize in this kind of ability could, which means that even if regular ability users are strong, they’ll have to fight while their five senses are obstructed. This not only greatly hampers their combat strength, but I suspect even their abilities would be significantly affected.”
“Yeah, that guy named Long, I’m not really familiar with him. He seems quite reserved and doesn’t talk much, so I didn’t engage more with him. However, his ability to merge with the wind is intriguing. It’s quite different from our wind elemental spells. Speaking of which, he specializes in combat within the Black Room. He has excellent agility and his fighting style is quite refined.”
“And then?”
“We exchanged three moves, and he was defeated. His evasiveness is remarkable; I couldn’t land a hit on him in the first two moves.”
“...Being able to exchange three moves with you is already impressive,” Qiu Wuji mused, “You spent four hours on the first level of the Sword Trial Cave; the inner disciples were all amazed.”
Chu Ge said, “I think he could switch to cultivating immortal techniques. If he gains some proficiency in wind elemental spells and combines it with his ability, he might become even more formidable. But we’re not that familiar, and even if we were, I wouldn’t want to reveal too much...”
“There’s nothing to worry about revealing. If you genuinely think he has potential, you can teach him a method to train his ability and then simplify and modify some wind elemental spells for him to integrate. It’s quite straightforward. We can discuss it later,” Qiu Wuji smiled.
“Yeah.”
Chu Ge sighed, “So, people in the Black Room has become a powerful force, with all sorts of unique and peculiar abilities... If Mengmeng also starts practicing, it would be even more terrifying. It’s evident that Zhong Yi had a purpose in establishing the Black Room.”
“Of course, they wouldn’t just create a casual gathering. Zhong Yi must have had his objectives. But as long as they’re not malicious, we don’t need to worry about too much.”
Qiu Wuji got annoyed, “Not good! Idiot!”
Chu Ge looked bewildered, kept his head down while riding the bike, and wondered if today was around the time of her menstrual cycle...
“Never mind.” Qiu Wuji sulked, “The instructor had me review subject one, I’ll be taking the test in a few days.”
“So soon? I remember it took me a month to learn driving, and even longer, like three months or six months.”
“Subject one needs to be done first; we have time for the rest.” Qiu Wuji grumbled, “Besides, why would I need a month? After just two or three days, the instructor said I was driving better than her, and I already know a lot about traffic regulations...”
“Why do I feel like I’m about to witness the birth of a road menace?”
“Who is it that made my mastery of immortal cultivation is a piece of cake, and said that I have peerless talent, which pig said that?”
“Uh... I guess there shouldn’t be an issue then, right?”
“There were never going to be any issues! I am Qiu Wuji! You pig, Chu Ge!”
“But how come you don’t know how to ride the electric scooter...”
“It’s not that I don’t know how, I told you I didn’t want to ride. I wanted you to take me!”
“Alright, I’ll take care of you forever.”
“Who said I need you to take care of me forever? Once I have my own car, I won’t need you!”
“... I’m going to Shanghai next week, want to come along?”
“Chu Ge, do you dare leave me alone to explore the glamorous world!”
“Fine, fine, fine, just asked, no need to rush... huh, periods are really strange...”
“I want to take a plane!”
“Okay, okay, we’ll take a plane...”
Amidst the quarrel of the young couple on the electric bike, it traveled further down the road. While passersby didn’t hear their conversation about immortality and martial arts earlier, they sure listened closely to their argument, smiling as they watched the electric bike move away.
The girl’s ponytail fluttered and danced in the wind, full of youthful exuberance.
Youth is truly wonderful.
