Ji Dantong grinned, but in the end, couldn't manage to speak. This rapid and perfect adaptability truly commands admiration!

In a fit of anger, Ji Dantong couldn't help but feel indignant, yet inadvertently witnessed Sun Miaohan's quick adaptability.

Although Ji Dantong wasn't incapable, her calmness and steadiness didn't match Sun Miaohan's rapid response!

From this perspective, even though Ji Dantong is only half a year older or so, Sun Miaohan, in her early twenties, is far superior!

With her plans thwarted, Sun Miaohan had to forcibly suppress her dissatisfaction, leading the two of them forward along the way without a word...

Seeing off the little girl, Xiao Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon learning that Yang Xiaoying was doing outstandingly well in the company he recommended her to, he couldn't help but be happy for her, yet had no inkling that at this very moment, his body was beginning to undergo changes in an extremely subtle yet rapid manner...

"Did you two find out something?!" Xiao Tian looked at the two women sitting opposite and casually asked.

In fact, during dinner, Xiao Tian had noticed something amiss, but at the time he only thought it was due to the little girl meeting Melinda for the first time, which made Lin Bingxuan nervous as well.

But looking back now, it was completely not the case, so Xiao Tian asked as he did.

The two women on the sofa exchanged glances and eventually Lin Bingxuan spoke up, "Last time when you talked with Ghost Face, we happened to overhear!"

After speaking, seeing Xiao Tian's brow furrow, the two felt somewhat guilty and apologetic for not being able to help, lowering their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

After a moment, Xiao Tian said in a flat tone, "Do not let more people know about this matter, including when Ningxue returns from participating in the tour report, don't say much."

Lin Bingxuan and Melinda nodded simultaneously, saying, "We think the same!"

It must be said, the mysterious letter left by that mysterious person successfully disturbed Xiao Tian, forcing him to be cautious in whatever he did.

Of course, Yu Ningxue, being one of the people Xiao Tian trusts the most, isn't feared to leak the news, but knowing it would make her anxious without being able to help; those already worried are quite enough, Xiao Tian does not want those around him to carry strained smiles all day.

While speaking, Ghost Face, with an unpleasant expression, came out from the basement, standing before Xiao Tian silently, inquiring with his eyes if he needed to speak alone.

Xiao Tian shook his head, "I know you told them about me, feel free to speak!"

Ghost Face didn't show any embarrassed expression, just looked at Xiao Tian with a somewhat helpless gaze, pausing before he solemnly said, "I'm truly convinced by your crow's mouth!"

As he said this, Ghost Face said straightforwardly, "As you wished, you might really be about to live like an ordinary person now!"

This statement startled the three present, and the two women turned their gaze to Xiao Tian, only to see him ask somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Ghost Face didn't elaborate further, directly saying, "Try using True Qi now."

Although Xiao Tian felt a bit strange, he followed suit, circulating True Qi to cover his entire body, a bright halo appearing on its surface, asking, "And then? What do you want to say..."

The sentence stopped abruptly, as everyone saw the Protective True Qi on Xiao Tian's body flicker twice after maintaining for a few seconds, then completely dimmed.

Xiao Tian frowned, continuing to try invoking True Qi within his body, but saw the True Qi in his meridians rapidly retreat to his Dantian like an ebbing tide, instantly leaving the wide meridians empty.

Xiao Tian hurriedly operated Iron Chain Cross River, attempting to stop the True Qi from reversing, but saw no effect, while trying to mobilize True Qi in his Dantian, he was surprised to find it could operate yet seemed to be sealed, unable to leave its confines.

In other words, the True Qi in Xiao Tian's body still exists now, yet cannot be used, equivalent to being a most ordinary expert.

The current him, let alone battling experts like Thunder King Salon, even someone like Lin Bingxuan, who doesn't excel in combat, could easily defeat him.

In the face of absolute disparity in strength, things like vision and combat experience all become fragile bubbles bursting at the slightest touch!

In shock, relying on his immense psychological quality, Xiao Tian forcibly maintained composure, asking sternly, "How did you know I couldn't use True Qi anymore?!"

"It's still due to genetic breakdown!"

Ghost Face explained, "Just now in the laboratory, the gene chains in your blood suddenly broke. Normally, this part of your blood, once leaving your body, should never experience this, but once it does, it means the situation with your internal genes will get worse!"

"Is there any way to temporarily alleviate it?" Lin Bingxuan asked anxiously, "Could my blood, which can heal injuries, possibly..." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Before Lin Bingxuan finished speaking, Ghost Face shook his head, saying, "It's useless. This kind of genetic breakdown is irreversible, if not addressed specifically, even a hundredfold power wouldn't work!"

"Does the pendant's energy, does my blood contain its components?!" Xiao Tian accurately deduced that the specific method Ghost Face referred to must be the Five Elements Crystal, and some connection between it and the pendant evidently aids greatly in unlocking the Five Elements Crystal.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's question, Ghost Face's brows furrowed tighter, "This is also the difficulty I'm currently facing, according to the detected results and energy response of the Five Elements Crystal, indeed, there is pendant component in your blood, but..."

"But what?!" Melinda and Lin Bingxuan both asked simultaneously.

Ghost Face paused for a moment before continuing, "But something isn't quite right in certain places. If we liken the Five Elements Crystal to a lock, then the blood containing pendant energy seems like a key to unlock it. However, now it appears the lock's keyhole is blocked!"

The three exchanged glances, their expressions quite grim.

Just as Xiao Tian prepared to speak, in the Consciousness Realm, the little girl who was still sulking suddenly put her pen aside and said, "It's just like I thought, only his direction is wrong, it should be reversed!"

Hearing the enigmatic words, Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask, "What reversed?"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's voice, the little girl huffed, clearly aware of the urgency, yet saying, "I don't want to talk to you!" Afterwards, she blocked Xiao Tian's voice unilaterally, evidently taking the stance of not wanting to deal with him.
