At the moment he glimpsed that terrifying outline, Lou Feng came to a sudden and disbelieving halt, braking frantically right where he was.
The color drained from his pale face, to the point he didn't even think of launching an attack toward Ji Jue. Without a second thought, he dove!
He barely missed collision with the excrement-covered carriage.
But the offensive stench assaulting him was nearly enough to induce vomiting.
He tumbled awkwardly on the ground, no longer caring about his anger or dignity. He urgently raised his hand and cried out, "Wait——"
Wait for what?
Ji Jue didn't hesitate.
Like a true Trainer, he seized the crucial opportunity for victory and mercilessly commanded his Pokémon, "Squirtle, use Water Cannon on it!"
"Squirtle, Squirtle!!!"
As if responding to the Trainer's command, the massive chassis of the excrement-covered carriage came to an abrupt halt from its drift. Amid the shrill noise, the large pipe of the water pump had already targeted that terrified face.
From the sidelines, Kong Qingyan abruptly raised her hand, wanting to stop everything, but it was futile.
She furiously turned her head, glaring at Ye Xian who was standing idly by.
"What's the rush?"
Ye Xian replied indifferently, "Isn't it not over yet?"
In that instant, the terrifying sound of the tide rose from the darkness, and from within the eerie flux of noise, a monstrous thing erupted from the pump's roaring!
As if a cerulean silhouette had leapt up from within the shadows to launch its deadly technique at the puny enemy upon the earth!
Treasure Unsealing——
——Penetrating Death Flying Spear!
Then, Spear, Spear, Spear, Spear, Spear…
Boom!!!
The tide of terror surged forth, enveloping everything and bestowing its end!
No casualties, no destruction, no death.
Conquering without a fight.
Ji Jue looked over the scene before him and couldn't help nodding in admiration: Unlike the Nanfeng truck battles which often ended with severe injuries, this truly is a Peace Car!
It seems I was worried over nothing.
Such a useful move, I should definitely use it more often!
But while trucks are easy to find, excrement trucks are not. It's not practical to carry around an excrement truck everywhere I go, is it?
Bo Ya often had, but Zi Qi was hard to come by.
This divine move could only become a legend.
He let out a sigh then shuffled sideways, two steps, and then two more, and another two…
No choice, it was just too stinky!
The move was good in every respect, except, perhaps, for its excessively strong pollution.
And now, within that indescribable mess, that blurry figure seemed to finally comprehend what had happened and couldn't suppress a piercing scream.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah——"
Inside his heavy armor, Lou Feng retched violently, nearly blacking out. But when he raised his hand and saw the color spreading over the seams of his high-end outfit and tasted the foul flavor in his mouth, he could no longer bear it.
He went completely mad!
"You damned——"
His eyes turned bloodshot beneath the splattered mud, "I'm going to kill you!!!"
Ji Jue sighed, slowly shaking his head.
As expected of a Superior, even his swearing lacked any bite.
He didn't even bother to draw his gun, simply working the slide to eject the bullet from the chamber, pocketing it instead.
He didn't spare a glance for the figure charging at him.
"Enough!"
Kong Qingyan's shout of anger rang out, "We concede!"
Click!
In an instant, everything seemed to freeze completely.
Ji Jue's actions, Lou Feng in mid-leap, the scattered splashes of mud,
The moment Ye Xian no longer intervened, all control fell into Kong Qingyan's hands, and in the flick of a finger, the frozen band of Ruins Path appeared!
And then, Lou Feng was dragged back and dumped on the ground.
Voluminous water vapor condensed out of thin air, pouring down and washing over him, turning him into a drenched chicken.
"Teacher, why stop?"
Lou Feng climbed up from the ground, his eyes still red, "I haven't lost yet!"
"...Humiliating!"
Kong Qingyan couldn't even bother to explain anymore.
If she hadn't intervened, they probably would've lost a student today!
It was only now that Ji Jue waved his hand toward the back again.
Beyond the high walls of the factory, another overloaded truck had been waiting by the roadside for a long time. Finally, it returned to normal and, under the driver's control, made a getaway as if fleeing for its life.
Unfortunately, it wasn't needed in the end.
Kong Qingyan's narrow eyes settled on Ji Jue, her face twitching as she seemed desperately trying to restrain the urge to strangle him.
In the end, she managed only to squeeze through her teeth, "Mr. Ji's prowess has certainly been witnessed. We shall seek your guidance another day, farewell!"
"Eh? You're leaving so soon?"
Ji Jue feigned 'confusion,' raising an eyebrow politely and insisting, "Won't you stay for a while? Eh, Master, how about a meal together? It's rare for you to visit; we should at least take a photo together!"
Sadly, no matter how warmly he attempted to detain them, it couldn't bring the guests back.
One could only say, true to the spirit of dignified noble young masters and masters, their departure was majestic and full of vigor.
With his help, they had displayed elegance and skill in the competition, ultimately achieving their aim and leaving satisfied without any regrets, right?
Ji Jue reveled in the sense of accomplishment from doing a good deed, unable to extricate himself.
Then, he finally noticed Professor Ye casting a sidelong glance at him.
So familiar.
The raised tail just unconsciously drooped down, Ji Jue's little hands rubbed together, squeezing out a sycophantic smile reminiscent of a bootlicker, and he stepped forward to greet:
"Professor, how did it go?"
"What do you mean, how did it go? Dawdling half the day, and only at the last minute did you put in some real effort... You wouldn't think I enjoy watching kids fight, would you?"
Professor Ye waved his hand dismissively, finally pointing to the collapsed walls of the factory area and the mess strewn about: "You made this mess, you clean it up."
"Ah... this..."
Ji Jue stood frozen, his expression involuntarily twitching.
He looked towards the silent manure truck.
The manure truck seemed to be looking back at him.
And the surrounding disastrous situation... let's just say it stank, no more needed to be said.
If he had to clean this up...
He suddenly felt like dying.
Indeed, such forbidden moves were nothing good!
They harmed the heavens and people alike!
"What are you staring at?"
As Ye Chun passed by, he lightly kicked Ji Jue, giving him a glance that, if Ji Jue wasn't mistaken, was a signal to follow: "Auntie is in a good mood, just joking with you."
"Ah?"
Ji Jue was once again bewildered.
The main issue was, both Professor Ye being in a good mood and Professor Ye joking seemed to be extremely illogical events.
Then, he saw it, a scene that seemed like a reversal of time.
The dust that had been fluttering down around the collapsed walls hung suspended in mid-air, the stones that had hit the ground lost gravity and slowly lifted, and the bricks that had shot out even began to hover in the air again.
As the manure truck slowly reversed, the dirt and wreckage on the ground all retracted, returning to the large water tank, and then, as if receiving orders, they all returned to their original positions.
The walls reassembled, the filth dissipated.
Everything was visibly returning to its original state.
Even the people peeking over the walls outside seemed to be affected, stiffly retreating like puppets, returning to their original places.
It was an awakening, as if from a dream.
It seemed like something had happened, yet the memory wasn't clear.
Within just a few moments, all traces had been erased.
Ji Jue couldn't even discern the principle behind it, only faintly recognizing the traces left by the Superior Emblem, the erasure of memory was the Heart Core, the control of machinery was Tian Yuan, directing everything to its original position was the Ether that records everything.
And what truly restored everything to its original state was the Superior Eternal Gate that Ji Jue, to this day, could barely comprehend and was completely unable to use or gain experience on!
The mysterious Superior that controlled time and space had briefly appeared during Ji Jue's Chosen Summon, and since then, it had not shown any more favor or closeness.
Distant and erratic.
Even Ji Jue didn't understand why he could grasp the structure of this emblem, despite having experienced nineteen years of time, and even then, existing in this space.
Through those seemingly effortless changes just now, the vast factory area that had been shrouded in covers had seemingly revealed some of its true nature to him.
Those countless Spiritual Circuits, silent amidst layers of fog, even the radiating massive structure stretching outward from within the workshop building.
If within the workshop, the craftsman was the supreme master, then everything here had already fallen under Professor Ye's control.
Even every inch of air...
"Is this what a master is?"
Ji Jue muttered, losing his voice and subconsciously following behind, but suddenly, his steps hesitated slightly.
Wait, if that's the case... how did the manure truck easily crash through the wall?
No, it's been so long, there have hardly been any people around the factory area, not many cars either, and not many operating factories or institutions...
Aside from a few unfinished construction sites where people could occasionally be seen, it was pretty much a barren wasteland.
Then why, all of a sudden, was there municipal maintenance today?
And coincidentally, there was a sewage truck parked right next to the factory area? And its pump was continuously working, with a constant tut-tut-tut sound, as if afraid he wouldn't notice?
"..."
He didn't dare to speak; he didn't dare to ask, his steps unconsciously turned aside, causing Ye Chun to become even more puzzled, not knowing what trick he was trying to pull.
"No, it's nothing." Ji Jue squeezed out a smile, softly lamenting: "I just suddenly feel like, Professor, you really do hate Master Kong."
Professor Ye, who was walking in front, remained as calm as ever.
Not bothering to look back.
After returning to the workshop's rest area, Professor Ye sat down in her own spot, and the cup of strong tea on the table was finally ready.
After waving Ji Jue to sit down, she didn't mince words and asked directly, "Today, out of nowhere, you were burdened with such a troublesome matter, and even made you offend a young master of the Lou Family, how does that feel?"
"Not too bad, I guess?"
Ji Jue was slightly bewildered; to be honest, he would have faced Yu Hanguang directly without hesitation, so a minor Lou Family young master hardly mattered to him.
"Professor, you've taken care of me so much, dealing with a bit of trouble is nothing much. I'm not someone petty."
"I know."
Professor Ye nodded indifferently, "But I am."
Ji Jue felt a twitch at the corner of his eye.
...I can't really respond to that!
"One must have a clear understanding of themselves to avoid getting ahead of oneself."
Professor Ye said frankly: "I don't see myself as kind, tolerant or weak; quite the opposite, I am narrow-minded and vengeful. That is my character, I've known it since I was twelve, and I've never thought of changing anything. I am the type who might not repay kindness, but definitely won't let go of a grudge."
"Now, someone has come into my workshop, provoked me, and consequently humiliated themselves. Now she's gone, but this doesn't mean the offense didn't happen.
Therefore, she must pay the price."
Professor Ye put down her teacup, her usually indifferent face was filled with coldness, "Because this is karma, inevitable retribution."
"...I understand."
Ji Jue hesitated multiple times before finally gathering the courage to advise, "Professor, if a master dies inexplicably, it can cause significant chaos!"
It wasn't that he was unwilling to do the job or help.
He really couldn't do it!
