Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Molin pushed Xifan, walking alongside Lu Ping, who was carrying Su Tang. After a long silence, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Hey, don't keep acting cool, say something," Molin said.

"Hmm?" Lu Ping glanced at him.

"Is Su Tang okay?" Molin started to look for a topic.

"Fine, I don't think there's any problem," Su Tang answered for herself.

"Don't be careless, come down quickly, let me check on you," Molin said seriously.

"Can't you walk anymore?" Su Tang laughed. Lu Ping, who was carrying her, didn't seem tired, but Molin, who was pushing the wheelchair, was already out of breath.

"That's just one reason. Put her down!" Molin said to Lu Ping.

"Can you really check?" Lu Ping's eyes were full of doubt.

"Those who use poison usually know some medicine, don't you understand this?" Molin said.

"But your poison is pretty average!" Lu Ping still didn't trust him, but Su Tang had already been placed under a large tree, leaning against it.

"Is that because you're too good? Do you know?..." Molin told Xifan about his three failed attempts to harm Lu Ping, trying to gain sympathy. However, in the end, Xifan only said indifferently, "Just three times."

Yes. He had every reason to be indifferent. Although his goal wasn't to kill Lu Ping, he had been trying to harm him for three years, countless times. Three failures weren't enough to complain to us. Xifan was conveying this message to Molin.

Molin's face turned dark, and he ignored Xifan, squatting in front of Su Tang.

"Give me your hand," Molin said. After taking Su Tang's right hand, he placed it on her pulse.

"You're checking her pulse?" Lu Ping said, "Can you really do that?"

"Right, you don't have the Force Soul, so your sense of touch should be pretty bad, right?" Xifan said.

"You two are so noisy!" Molin was furious, "I have the Pivot Soul at the Sixth Heaven, do you think I should go lick her?"

"Ha ha." Su Tang laughed, and with her left hand, she casually picked up a fist-sized rock from beside her and squeezed it.

Puff!

The rock was crushed into powder, scattering everywhere.

"Looking so energetic, you're definitely fine," Molin didn't even check her pulse, just threw Su Tang's right hand away.

"But my body still feels weak," Su Tang said.

"Rest more, drink more water," Molin said.

Everyone's faces showed even more doubt.

"Let's go back and have Teacher Lin Zhu check you," Lu Ping picked up Su Tang again. Lin Zhu was the physician at Zhaifeng Academy.

"Fine, don't believe me then," Molin didn't care much, mainly because after this short break, he felt he could push Xifan for a long distance again.

At this moment, Xifan spoke up.

"What about the chains on your hands?" Xifan asked directly, without beating around the bush.

"They've always been there, just invisible," Lu Ping said.

"Can you feel them?" Molin reached out to feel, but there was nothing.

"Does this thing seal your Soul Power?" Xifan deduced.

"Yes," Lu Ping confirmed.

"But you can still use it, right?" Molin asked.

"I spent a long time to barely break through its seal," Lu Ping said.

"Just barely?" Xifan and Molin looked at each other, if this was just barely, what would he be like without the seal?

"When can you completely remove it?" Molin asked.

"I don't know."

"Who put this thing on you... if it was put on you," Molin said.

"The organization."

"What organization?"

"I only know it's an organization, I don't know its name," Lu Ping said.

"So that night, you initially thought I was from this organization?" Molin said.

"Yes."

"So you escaped, and they are looking for you?" Molin asked.

"Maybe!" Lu Ping said.

"What do you mean by maybe?"

"I'm not sure if they are looking for us," Lu Ping said.

"Us?" Molin glanced at Su Tang on Lu Ping's back, "Is Su Tang also from the organization?"

Lu Ping nodded.

Molin scratched his head, he had a lot of questions, but didn't know where to start.

"So, you know very little about this organization, right?" Xifan began to ask, first clarifying the direction of the information he could obtain, then confirming the questions.

"Yes."

"What did you do every day in the organization?" Xifan asked.

"Eat all kinds of strange things, do all kinds of tests," Lu Ping said.

"When did the chains appear?" Xifan asked.

"I don't remember," Lu Ping said.

Not remembering means that from the time he had memories, Lu Ping was already sealed by the chains.

"So, you don't know your background, all your memories are from this organization?" Xifan said.

"Yes," Lu Ping said.

"What about Su Tang?" Xifan turned to Su Tang.

"I grew up in the organization, my parents might be someone in the organization, but I've never seen or heard of them," Su Tang said.

"Did you also eat strange things and do various tests every day like Lu Ping?" Xifan asked.

"No," Su Tang shook her head, "I don't know what I am, maybe just a helper."

"Lu Ping, what do you think you are?" Xifan asked.

"An experiment subject," Lu Ping said. A very cruel and terrifying guess, but he said it simply, seemingly without any special emotion.

"So, this unknown organization is studying Soul Power. From the fact that you were sealed from the beginning, you probably had terrifying Soul Power from birth, which might be the reason you became a subject of study..." Xifan explained his deductions and analysis.

"Having terrifying Soul Power from birth, could it be..." Molin, though young, had been out in the world, and had heard more things. He immediately thought of the legendary or fabricated existence.

"Heaven Awakened," Xifan had already said it before him.

"Born with Soul Power connected, do you feel this way yourself?" Xifan continued to ask.

"Maybe!" Lu Ping said.

"Why 'maybe' again?" Molin said.

"If it weren't for this thing, I might be more certain," Lu Ping shook his wrist, which looked empty but actually had a strong seal.

"Based on the combat power you've shown, you are undoubtedly at the Connected Realm. But which Soul is connected? Can you sense it yourself?" Xifan asked.

This time, Lu Ping didn't answer immediately, but after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Six Souls connected," he said.

"Wow!" Molin exclaimed, "You should definitely be studied!"
