Chapter 80

The next morning, Ye Xiao packed up the Illusory Crystal early.

From now on, he would have to carry the Illusory Crystal with him at all times.

The day of the Seven Stars Alignment was approaching, and only by keeping the Illusory Crystal close could his mental power suppress it.

Otherwise, there was no guarantee what dangerous things it might do.

After breakfast, he went to the library, clocked in for work, and while other area supervisors were already assigning tasks and giving morning speeches, everything was calm on Ye Xiao's side.

He didn't like giving speeches, nor did he like being high and mighty.

Power is something that, if you only use it when you like, you are playing with power.

But if you can't bear to let it go at any moment, then you are being played by power.

Peace and quiet are the best way of life.

The managers under Ye Xiao were also very perceptive. After arriving, they would take the initiative to mop the floor, wipe the tables, and take care of the basic cleaning, then check if any books were damaged and needed to be replaced.

Ye Xiao, on the other hand, was content to read, continuing to search for the last foundational cultivation technique in his body-strengthening methods.

Before long, a young manager came over and couldn't help but ask:

"Supervisor, is Ning Guan on leave? Why isn't he here today?"

Ye Xiao was somewhat taken aback.

"He didn't come?"

"Yes, he hasn't shown up all morning."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. Ning Yuheng was usually very diligent and rule-abiding. What was going on today? He actually skipped work?

"I know, don't mention this to anyone, so he doesn't get his salary docked."

"Okay!"

Ye Xiao was very good to his subordinates. When they were sometimes late or left early, he never recorded it, so his words still carried a lot of weight.

After the other person left, Ye Xiao immediately activated the Great Profound Heavenly Gang, and in an instant, he found Ning Yuheng lying in bed in the dormitory, dazed and with a slightly high temperature.

This kid... Could he also be affected by the Seven Stars Alignment, with his star beast bloodline activated, leading to a berserk state?

Would he go crazy and run out to kill people indiscriminately?

His mind moved slightly, and the Divine Intent Technique was activated. In an instant, Ye Xiao appeared at Ning Yuheng's door.

He knocked on the door, and a dazed voice came from inside.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

Ning Yuheng, upon hearing Ye Xiao's voice, managed to say:

"Come in, the door isn't locked."

Ye Xiao pushed the door open and was momentarily stunned.

Just a moment ago, he had sensed a very familiar feeling.

However, he quickly composed himself and walked in.

"What's going on? Sleeping in the middle of the day?"

Ning Yuheng clutched the blanket, curled up in the bed, and shivered.

"I don't know. When I came back last night, I felt a bit cold, like I had a fever. But even after using healing techniques, it didn't help."

Ye Xiao knew that Ning Yuheng didn't dare go to the hospital, fearing that his star beast lineage would be discovered.

However, his own silver fox bloodline, with its inherent healing techniques, was quite strong, not much worse than the doctors in the hospital.

How could a simple cold and fever not be cured?

Plus, that familiar feeling just now...

"Maybe your healing technique isn't suitable. I've been looking at some other healing techniques recently. Let me take a look."

Healing techniques can be cultivated by anyone, with low requirements, so Ye Xiao didn't have to worry about exposing anything in front of him.

"Okay! Thank you, Supervisor."

Ye Xiao extended his hand, placed it on Ning Yuheng's wrist, and gently released his healing technique. He then discovered that Ning Yuheng's blood was flowing rapidly, as if catalyzed by something, with his star beast bloodline expanding significantly.

Something wasn't right.

This wasn't due to the Seven Stars Alignment. The Illusory Crystal was also affected by the Seven Stars Alignment, but the symptoms were in stages.

For example, within a minute, she would suddenly gain a portion of strength, but for the next period, her strength would remain stable, only to surge again later.

But Ning Yuheng's star beast bloodline was being activated continuously at all times.

Ye Xiao had read some books about the Seven Stars Alignment in the morning, which stated that the Seven Stars Alignment had the same effect on half-beasts and star beasts, regardless of their physical constitution.

While silently using the healing technique, Ye Xiao also activated the Great Profound Heavenly Gang to directly scan Ning Yuheng's soul.

He found it!

In an instant, Ye Xiao found the cause, and then a vast mental power surged over.

In Ning Yuheng's soul, a black mist, unaware of its situation, was controlling Ning Yuheng's mental power to activate his bloodline.

"Hehehe, boy, the taste of beastification is not pleasant. But once you successfully beastify, you will evolve from a human into a noble star beast!

Thank your king for bestowing this supreme favor upon you!"

But just as he finished speaking, his consciousness suddenly fell into a dark, sealed void.

"???"

The black mist hadn't reacted in time and was instantly surrounded.

When Ye Xiao pulled the black mist out of Ning Yuheng's soul, the boiling beast blood in Ning Yuheng's body quickly calmed down, though it still simmered slightly. Ning Yuheng's own healing technique had already started to work.

Ning Yuheng, seemingly exhausted from a night of turmoil, fell asleep quietly.

Ye Xiao didn't disturb him and turned to go to his own dormitory next door.

Although he didn't live there, his dormitory was still reserved.

His palm slightly opened, and a black mist quickly spread and tried to escape.

Bang, bang, bang...

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao had already set up a mental defense, and at this moment, the entire room was enveloped by mental power.

After a few collisions, the black mist slowly stopped, the entire mass of black mist pulsating violently.

"Your Majesty was careless. I didn't expect that in this small Jianghai City, besides some decent martial arts experts, there would also be a mental power expert."

"Your Majesty? Are you King El?"

Ye Xiao immediately identified the other party's identity!

The black mist paused.

"Good boy, you even guessed my true form!"

Seeing the other party admit it, Ye Xiao showed no mercy, and the Great Profound Heavenly Gang was activated, instantly dispersing the black mist!

Bang!

Since it was a mental explosion, only the two of them could feel it in their mental seas; no one else could hear it.

However, King El's soul quickly reformed.

"Brat, you don't follow martial ethics, taking advantage of my inattention to sneak an attack! Bullying me because I don't have a physical body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao sent an even stronger mental attack.

"All intruders must die!"
