My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 207 - 170: Water
"...Can you tell me about your Authority Abilities?"
Chen Lusi faced the gazes of everyone, remained silent for a moment, and while rubbing a Spirit Ball, looked towards Xia Panqiu and Wu You.
"Or maybe you tell us to what extent you can mimic?"
Wu You thought for a bit and replied, "Our Authority Abilities are actually just like your Slashing, using them is almost instinctive, I'm not sure if us explaining it would lead to any omissions or deviations.
But if we watch you use it, or if you explain it, it's different. We'll subconsciously compare, making it easier to spot issues."
"..."
Chen Lusi pondered for a moment, thought it made sense, nodded, and then handed the Spirit Ball to Wu You. As he leaned over to retch, he began organizing his words.
None of those present were surprised by this... except for Shu Li, who was witnessing it for the first time.
She saw Chen Lusi extend his hand, and then the Spirits around automatically gathered at his palm... Her eyes widened again and she immediately looked up at Chen Lusi's face.
Chen Lusi was busy organizing his words and didn't pay attention to her.
Shu Li moved her gaze around and noticed that others weren't surprised. Piecing this with the events in the Monkey Anomaly Realm, she quickly guessed something.
She immediately ran over to Xia Panqiu, grabbed her wrist tightly, and shook her vigorously.
"What are you doing?" Xia Panqiu lowered her head, was about to ask, and saw Shu Li's expression mixed with excitement and shock.
Following her gaze slowly, Xia Panqiu saw Chen Lusi's face.
"..."
On the other side.
Chen Lusi briefly explained to Wu You how he uses 'Heart Sound Reflection.'
After listening, Wu You remained silent for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh, looked at Chen Lusi, and exclaimed, "That's not Heart Sound Reflection! That's damn mind reading!?"
Chen Lusi: "..."
...
Evening.
"So... There's a discrepancy?"
Si Yujie stood behind the counter, looking at the three standing in front of her, including Shu Li who came along, and slightly frowned.
"Yes."
Wu You chuckled, "But don't misunderstand, the discrepancy here doesn't mean our Authority Abilities are vastly different, but rather... how to put it, the Authority Ability Chen Lusi mimicked is triggered based on his own understanding, it's far from our original Authorities."
"For example, my Heart Sound Reflection can only fuzzily sense the other's innermost thoughts, like an enhanced intuition, you should know this. But do you know how he uses it? He can hear specific words! And he seriously asked me if I can hear them too, I can't hear squat!"
Si Yujie: "..."
"...My Authority Ability also differs."
Xia Panqiu glanced at Chen Lusi and then said, "Compression is actually a method I adapted to the 'Cloud Ascension' Authority, largely because I'm female... there are some weaknesses I can't overcome, it's a helpless move.
Even if I don't compress, my control over my body wouldn't be any weaker, just not as light, and speed would be somewhat affected.
But he... seems to have misunderstood, believing he must compress himself to use the Cloud Ascension Authority, and it seems he can't change this."
Si Yujie: "..."
She remained silent for a long while, then looked at Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi, with a blank face, said, "Xia Panqiu didn't say, I didn't know."
Si Yujie slowly nodded, and then said, "So... Can you now transform into Panqiu's form? Into a little boy? Why don't you transform and show us?"
Upon hearing this, Wu You acted normally, but the other two women looked at Chen Lusi with peculiar expressions.
...almost like they had 'want to see' written on their faces.
Including Si Yujie.
Chen Lusi, expressionless: "Is this the time to talk about this?"
Si Yujie couldn't help but laugh, "Saying that only makes people more curious to see."
Chen Lusi: "..."
"Alright, I understand."
That said.
Si Yujie didn't continue to tease Chen Lusi, after a slight jest, she straightened up and said, "So the Authority Ability you mimic is based on your own understanding, right? And once mimicked, it's irreversible?"
Chen Lusi nodded, "Seems so."
Throughout the day, he also figured out the differences between the Authority he mimicked and the original ones.
"Hmm... actually, this isn't really a bad thing."
Si Yujie thought about it, then responded, "Wu You's 'Heart Sound Reflection' is something we won't mention deeply. The mimicked version you're using might be even more formidable than the original Authority... It's just that public knowledge might not paint a good picture, since no one likes their thoughts being heard. Wu You's original Authority doesn't go as far as mind reading, but once it was known, many people avoided him like the plague.
As for Panqiu's 'Cloud Ascension,' it's a weakness for Panqiu, but not necessarily for you, and it might even yield unexpected benefits, considering... you can change your appearance.
However, moving forward, you indeed need to be cautious. To avoid bigger issues, for now, just mimic Wu You and Panqiu's Authorities, and completely understand the characteristics of this 'Illusion Soul' ability first. We still don't know if your mimicking has a limit... By the way, does it have any side effects?"
At this point.
Si Yujie suddenly thought of something and asked.
Xia Panqiu remained silent for a moment, then proactively replied for Chen Lusi, "Yes, and it might involve the soul. Xiaoxiao, for now, I think it's best that Chen Lusi doesn't attempt to mimic Ah Yue's Authority Ability."
During the experiment just now, Chen Lusi also mentioned the side effects of mimicking Authority.
Compared to Chen Lusi, who had only recently joined the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
