"What do you need me to do?" Wen Yu asked, and Tang Yi could only smile bitterly, "I don't know either, but I think if you can't help me, then no one in this world can..."
Well, if the person involved doesn’t know, how can Wen Yu be expected to help?
Wen Yu closed his eyes and used his soul perception to sense Tang San's state. After pondering for a moment, he waved his right hand, releasing a surge of Creation Energy that struck Tang San.
However, nothing happened.
"He has a soul, or rather, you three share a single soul. To be precise, the price of power should be some form of abnormal change on a soul level. But I'm sorry, I can't solve this problem right now."
"Right now?"
Tang Haofei sharply sensed the implication in Wen Yu's words.
Wen Yu nodded.
"Yes, right now. Theoretically, I can solve soul-related issues, but my current strength is insufficient. To be honest, I don't even understand the principles behind the price of power. I can't do it now, but maybe in the future."
Wen Yu provided an answer that was not really an answer—while the soul creation technique has many uses, although he learned from the sovereign and the demon lord that the price of power is irreversible, how can one know without trying?
But at the moment, Wen Yu truly couldn't manage it.
It was like a university student who just learned about mechanical principles suddenly wanting to build an airplane… why don’t you just fly up there?
Tang Yi also understood the complexity of this matter. Hearing Wen Yu's words, he waved his hand.
"Then let’s wait; I have plenty of time!"
Indeed, the glimmer of hope that Wen Yu provided was already an unexpected joy in Tang Haofei's eyes.
"But you must use the life and death battle resolution sparingly in the future."
Wen Yu reminded him in a vague tone, as for whether there were ulterior motives... everyone knows, but no one speaks out.
...
Accompanied by a slight tremor in Wen Yu's body, the next second, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the familiar room in front of him, Wen Yu gently shook his head, finally regaining full consciousness; the feeling of entering and exiting the heart resonance world was not pleasant at all.
Tang Haofei, who was sitting opposite him, also opened his eyes and lightly nodded at Wen Yu. Their private conversation was hereby concluded. Wen Yu simply greeted Tang Haofei and then turned to leave.
The goal of contacting Tang Haofei had been accomplished, and the results exceeded Wen Yu's expectations. As for what remained, it was merely the sequence ranking battle.
Stepping out of the door, there was no one outside. He didn’t know what Lin Haifeng was up to. Wen Yu thought for a moment; there was nothing else he needed to discuss with Lin Haifeng, so he went straight to the Soul Laboratory.
Preparation and waiting passed quickly, and three days went by in a flash.
...
Three days later, the Star of Africa.
The Star of Africa was very different from three days ago, teeming with crowds and noise. More than the powerful individuals wanting to make a name for themselves in the sequence ranking battle, many were simply here to enjoy the spectacle. Fortunately, the sovereign had already taken action in the past two days to expand the scale of the Star of Africa—albeit temporarily—thus solving a problem for Wen Yu.
See? Compared to Wen Yu, the host, the sovereign clearly placed far more importance on the sequence ranking battle.
At this moment, just a few hours before the sequence ranking battle countdown, some true combatants had also arrived at the Star of Africa, fully prepared.
As the teleportation light flashed, a slender figure appeared at the edge of the teleportation plaza in the Star of Africa. Feeling the dry and hot air of Africa, the newcomer frowned heavily.
He was not accustomed to this temperature.
"Walter?"
A familiar voice came from behind. Walter turned to see Qin Tian sitting in a corner café with Arthur and Yang Hong, leisurely passing the time.
"Hi, how have you been lately?"
