Chapter 285 - 286: He Actually Had No Reaction to Yun Sheng’s Guidance
Chapter 285: Chapter 286: He Actually Had No Reaction to Yun Sheng’s Guidance
"You don’t need to answer right away. You can think about it first," Mo Chen said. Perhaps sensing Yun Sheng’s hesitation, he glanced at her, his tone as flat as ever, without a hint of urging. "Anyway, the tests here still need a little time. It won’t hold things up."
After speaking, he withdrew his gaze and looked back down at the screen in front of him. His fingertips swiped rapidly as he intently studied the spiritual power waveform chart he had just collected from Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng smiled somewhat helplessly as she watched him. Did he think it was a waste of time since she didn’t agree immediately, and just went ahead with his own work? In his eyes, there really was nothing else besides scientific research and data.
She slowly lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on her fingertips. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to give Mo Chen a guiding session. She trusted Bai Ye’s character, and someone he trusted so deeply would naturally not leak her secrets carelessly. The main issue was that in her previous dream, her spiritual power had lost control and entangled Mo Chen. If he hadn’t remained entirely unmoved, she didn’t know what would have happened in the end. It was one thing for that kind of incident to happen in a dream, but if it happened again in reality, she really wouldn’t know how to deal with the fallout! But not guiding him wouldn’t be conducive to a thorough examination...
Yun Sheng bit her lower lip and made up her mind. Just as she was about to speak up and accept Mo Chen’s proposal, he put down his data pad and pointed to another testing pod.
"Come, let’s do another scan of your spiritual landscape. Lie down and don’t move around during the process to avoid any data errors."
Forced to swallow the words that had just reached the tip of her tongue, Yun Sheng obediently walked over and lay down in the cold testing pod. The pod door slowly closed, and the ring-shaped scanner overhead instantly activated. A soft blue and white halo flowed around her, enveloping her entirely.
Yun Sheng kept her eyes open, staring straight at the ceiling of the testing pod, and sighed silently in her heart. She decided to just cooperate and finish the test first. Once the test was over, she would tell Mo Chen that she accepted his suggestion for a guiding session.
Meanwhile, outside the pod, Mo Chen controlled the scanner’s parameters. His eyes were glued to the real-time outline of the spiritual landscape displayed on the terminal, his brow furrowing deeper.
"Her spiritual landscape... why is it so strange too?"
Despite his words, his gaze was clearly much more fervent. His curiosity was practically overflowing.
The testing pod’s soundproofing was excellent, completely isolating all external noises. Yun Sheng couldn’t hear what Mo Chen was saying, nor could she see the jumping test data. She could only rely on the faint hum of the scanner by her ear, counting the time bit by bit to ease her inner apprehension. One second, two seconds, three seconds... Time seemed to stretch infinitely, with every second passing excruciatingly slow.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Yun Sheng’s palms. She didn’t know how long she had been counting before the continuous hum by her ears finally stopped. Immediately after, with a soft CLICK, the testing pod’s door popped open, and slightly cool air instantly rushed in.
Yun Sheng blinked subconsciously. After a moment, she propped herself against the pod wall and slowly sat up. Her movements were a bit sluggish, her fingertips still carrying a lingering tension. But before she could sit up completely, her gaze unexpectedly met Mo Chen’s eyes.
They were exceptionally fervent eyes; even behind his thin-rimmed glasses, the bright gleam within them couldn’t be hidden. Mo Chen looked at her as if he had just discovered a rare, priceless treasure. The curiosity and inquiry in his eyes were practically spilling over, and his whole body exuded undisguised excitement.
Yun Sheng stiffened under his stare. Shrinking back subconsciously, her fingertips tightly gripped the edge of the testing pod.
"Is... is the test over? My spiritual landscape... there’s no major problem with it, right?"
Mo Chen didn’t answer her question immediately. Instead, he quickly stepped forward and spoke at a rapid-fire pace, "It’s over, it’s over! Yun Sheng, your spiritual landscape is too unique! It’s simply the most peculiar case I’ve seen in all my years of research!"
As he spoke, he handed the data pad to Yun Sheng. His fingertips swiped quickly across the screen, pointing at the complex waveforms and outlines, the fanaticism in his eyes barely concealed.
"Look, the energy threshold of your spiritual landscape is much higher than that of a typical guide. The larger the energy threshold, the higher the purity and intensity of the spiritual power, and the broader the room for subsequent improvement. Combined with the data collected earlier, the clarity, stability, and potential resonance ability of your spiritual power far exceed those of an ordinary A-level guide. You’re even comparable to a top-tier S-class Guide. No wonder you could guide Bai Ye. If it were an ordinary guide, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the spiritual power impact of an SSS-level Sentinel at all."
Yun Sheng was almost blinded by the burning light in his eyes. Before she had time to speak, Mo Chen took another step forward. Leaning forward slightly, the urgency and anticipation in his tone became even more obvious.
"Yun Sheng, have you thought about the spiritual power guiding? I still want you to try guiding me. I’ll keep myself strictly under control. I absolutely won’t let you suffer any backlash, nor will I offend you. As long as you feel the slightest discomfort or just don’t want to continue, you can stop at any time. I absolutely won’t force you."
Looking at the earnestness and anticipation in Mo Chen’s eyes, Yun Sheng slowly released her tight grip on the edge of the testing pod and said softly, "I’ve thought about it. I promise to give you a guiding session."
The moment her words fell, Mo Chen’s eyes burned even brighter, as if two clusters of sparks had been instantly ignited. The excitement on his face could no longer be hidden.
"That’s wonderful! Thank you in advance, Yun Sheng!"
Without any unnecessary pleasantries, he turned and walked toward the lab bench the moment he finished speaking, skillfully retrieving two small but precise spiritual power testing devices.
"We’ll start now." As Mo Chen spoke, he walked up to Yun Sheng and put one of the devices on his own wrist first. The moment the sensor pad touched his skin, the device let out a faint BEEP, and a string of basic parameters immediately popped up on the holographic screen. "This device can monitor our spiritual power resonance status in real-time to prevent any overload or disorder, so you can rest easy."
Then, he picked up the other device and deftly fastened it around Yun Sheng’s wrist.
"Don’t be nervous. Just release your spiritual power slowly and try to guide me. I’ll keep an eye on the data in real-time. If there are any abnormalities, we’ll stop immediately."
"Okay."
Yun Sheng nodded. A wisp of her spiritual power quickly coalesced, like a soft thread of silk, and approached Mo Chen, slowly wrapping around his wrist. She didn’t plan to directly invade his spiritual landscape right away. She wanted to try touching his body first and see how their spiritual power intertwined, trying her best to ensure she didn’t lose control.
Across from her, Mo Chen merely raised his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the holographic screen on his wrist device. Seeing the jumping resonance parameters, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his face grew even more excited.
"Very good, continue. Keep this frequency. The resonance is very stable."
His attention was entirely focused on the screen, his fingertips occasionally tapping on it to record various data. It was as if he felt nothing unusual at all from the entanglement of her spiritual power.
Watching him like this, Yun Sheng felt increasingly helpless. In both of her lives combined, she had never met such a research fanatic. Moreover, when those other guys had been entangled by her spiritual power before, every single one of them had reacted so intensely... Why was it that with Mo Chen, her spiritual power seemed to have no effect at all?!
Perhaps it was the slight frustration in her heart acting up, or perhaps her spiritual power had unknowingly lost its restraint. Her originally well-controlled spiritual power suddenly grew denser. Like a vine, it wrapped more and more tightly around Mo Chen’s wrist, then climbed upward along his arm. The movements were gentle and lingering, carrying a trace of uncontrolled intimacy.
Mo Chen still had no particular reaction. His fingertips just moved a bit faster on the screen as he muttered under his breath, "Resonance frequency continues to rise, stability is good... This kind of compatibility is indeed unprecedented."
At this moment, Yun Sheng’s spiritual power had already followed his forearm, climbed up his shoulder, and slowly made its way higher, finally landing gently on the center of his brow.
