Regarding the identity of the Soul Race people, Ye Mingqiu already had a guess, but due to insufficient evidence, he couldn’t confirm whether this speculation was correct.

He glanced at Tang Ruobing, his eyebrows twitching rhythmically, and the latter quickly understood, gently nodding in response.

She patted Xiaoguang on the shoulder and smiled, saying, "You’d better not worry about these things, focus more on the people around you, and make life more fulfilling."

"Huh?"

Xiaoguang tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what Tang Ruobing meant by this.

After some thought, she said, "By the way, this year, we have a third student in the Support System, and he is a Lord Level, so the school decided to establish a third college entrance exam preparation team. I was lucky to be elected the Core Main Mage."

It’s not luck.

Ye Mingqiu silently thought.

Now, he felt that his speculation seemed closer to the truth, but such things were not suitable to be spoken out loud; hinting at it was the limit, too much interference wasn’t good.

....

After a while, the two sent Xiaoguang off. Tang Ruobing, resting her chin on one hand, asked, "How likely do you think it is him? I feel like it isn’t."

"Before the college entrance exam preparation team was formed, I only had a 20% certainty it was him, but after it was formed, it’s 60%." Ye Mingqiu replied.

"He seems very ordinary, just like you. Why suspect him?" Tang Ruobing asked.

"Because Giant Pharmaceutical’s flaws are too big." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Ye Mingqiu’s eyes were sharp as he continued, "Firstly, Giant Pharmaceutical does indeed have projects developing human advancements, but the risks are very high. The public opinion risk of signing contracts with high school students is much higher than that with social idlers; signing contracts with high school students is truly unwise, especially since they don’t lack participants."

"Secondly, skin gene technology seems more suitable for tanks or warrior professions. Is Giant Pharmaceutical really taking such a huge risk to genetically modify a Support System high school student? Without any certainty of the modification’s direction? Isn’t that a bit too risky?"

"Thirdly, if Giant Pharmaceutical did have a breakthrough, why wouldn’t they capitalize on Chen Ran for publicity? Successful cases and optimized techniques would bring them more investment, which is crucial. Note that acquiring a new talent before trials is far more valuable than the attribute enhancement potions they currently focus on; having successful cases and just theoretical backing are two completely different concepts."

"Fourthly, generally, labs select individuals with high constitution for experiments, given their strong life force, reducing the risk of death in experiments. Chen Ran, with a weak constitution and spiritual talents, signing for high-risk experiments is a gamble with reputation, which is quite suspicious."

"In conclusion, I personally think Chen Ran’s contract with Giant Pharmaceutical is fake and just an excuse for showcasing some of his powers. More importantly, the timing of the Soul Race information’s emergence coinciding with Chen Ran becoming a Spiritualist is too coincidental, so I strongly suspect he is that person."

"Brilliant deduction."

Tang Ruobing lightly applauded, then asked in confusion, "Since he’s chosen to reveal his power, why not fully expose it? Wouldn’t this further attract Xiaoguang’s attention? Is it really necessary to continue hiding his strength?"

"No need."

Ye Mingqiu answered decisively.

"Why is that?"

Tang Ruobing wondered.

"Because he’s stubborn."

"Stubborn?"

"Sigh~"

Ye Mingqiu sighed and said, "For a long time, I’ve noticed he’s someone who can be very stubborn in certain areas. Although he’s usually quite zen and natural, when it comes to something he insists on, he pursues it earnestly."

"Barring any surprises, his goal is to pursue success with his current identity, not his true identity. Maybe you think this isn’t efficient, but... it’s crucial for him."

"Hmm."

Tang Ruobing nodded slightly, then propped her chin with one hand, observing him closely, seemingly trying to discern something subtle about him.

She took a piece of jade from her Storage Space and tossed it onto the bed, saying, "This is a tool to measure Soul Strength. Test the value."

Ye Mingqiu picked up the jade, and soon a peculiar wave surged from it, with the surface starting to change, revealing black numbers that rapidly rose and fluctuated.

From a distance, Tang Ruobing squinted at the changing values on the jade.

Although she knew Ye Mingqiu possessed Dominator Level equipment, the Eye of Omaragon, which could enhance Soul Strength, the issue was that a normal person’s Soul Potential has limits, and cannot increase infinitely, stopping once a certain point is reached.

"432 points."

Ye Mingqiu replied, feeling this value was a bit high, he explained, "Previously, my Soul Strength surpassed the Level limit, so the Spirit Realm compensated me, refining my soul. 1 point of Soul Strength can equate to 1.5 normal Soul Strength."

"So, in fact, my current Soul Strength is just under three hundred, not as high as you think, the value is relatively normal."

"...."

Tang Ruobing was briefly silent.

With Soul Strength so high, you still claim you’re not related to the Soul Race, yet say your brother is Soul Race, you think I’d believe such nonsense?

...Of course, I’d believe it!

Even though Tang Ruobing is usually very rational, she is willing to believe some less rational information in certain special circumstances.
