Looking at the data, Xiao Yefeng pondered for a moment. Despite his confusion, he had no desire to engage in conversation with the somewhat peculiar and ambiguous Virgo Palace Master. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng was more focused on figuring out how to leave this place, and even take Consort Mi with him.
Meanwhile, the Virgo Palace Master noticed the flicker in Xiao Yefeng's eyes. With years of experience, he adjusted his glasses and saw through Xiao Yefeng's thoughts. Shaking his head, he gestured towards the display screen behind him. A video appeared on the screen, replacing a series of data that belonged to him.
The screen showed the moment when Xiao Yefeng struck down the Black-Clad Death Man at the entrance. The image froze at the instant he took the Magnetic Card. Seeing this, Xiao Yefeng stared at the man and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
The Virgo Palace Master shrugged and replied, "You can see for yourself. This is our top-tier combat power analysis program. As long as we have complete video footage, we can analyze the abilities of everyone in it. I have high expectations for you. To be honest, this program has been analyzing you since you entered, but it only just finished now. Clearly, you possess what I need."
"You need?" Xiao Yefeng questioned, quickly realizing his intentions. With his Mechanical Longsword glowing brightly, he pointed it at the Virgo Palace Master and said, "So you showed me Consort Mi's data to buy time to analyze me, right?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, the Virgo Palace Master remained silent and showed no fear of the Mechanical Longsword that emitted Inspiration in Xiao Yefeng's hand. He smiled slightly and pressed a button on the screen that indicated completion. Instantly, the screen was divided into three large sections. The first section displayed a 3D diagram of Xiao Yefeng piercing through the back of the black-clad man with a sword, completely analyzing his meridians and blood vessels.
Even the Mechanical Longsword was rendered fully transparent in this 3D model, which rotated continuously. The second section contained photos of Xiao Yefeng from various times along with detailed information—mostly sourced from various channels—ranging from diverse to precise data and analysis.
What shocked Xiao Yefeng most was the third section. Just like the Virgo Palace Master's earlier data, his own information appeared here as well. It read: Xiao Yefeng, Male, 24 years old, Strength 780-880, Attributes Water, Metal, Wood, Octagonal Dragon Fish Gene, Gene Fusion Level 40% to 45%.
Seeing this string of data made Xiao Yefeng furrow his brows. He was unsure what reference point was used for the astrological data analysis; however, this analysis seemed very close to his true capabilities. Not only that, but his speed and explosive power were also detailed in this last section. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng finally understood why that seemingly powerful black-clad man had been so easily defeated—he was merely a test subject for the Virgo Palace Master.
The thought of being used as a test subject sent a chill down Xiao Yefeng's spine. The man who always wore a smile could be so terrifying. Remembering the tragic fate of Sophia's Indigenous Tribe made it hard to believe that this person treated human lives as experimental subjects.
At this point, Xiao Yefeng took a step back and began to circulate the energy within his body through his Symbol Bone-enhanced skeleton. Over these past few years, he had diligently researched the Starry Body Forging Technique and finally discovered a method of energy circulation not included in traditional cultivation methods. For three years, he had worked tirelessly day and night to absorb Stellar Power to forge his Symbol Bones. Out of two hundred six bones in his body—excluding the most difficult head bones—all others had been successfully transformed.
If one were to strip away Xiao Yefeng's muscles, they would see that all his bones below his head no longer bore an ordinary pale color but instead emitted a faint glow reminiscent of stars. This was why he could be assessed with such fluctuating differences around one hundred. Now, Xiao Yefeng was ready with what he believed to be a perfect escape plan.
Since entering this place, the door had never been closed, and no reinforcements had come to guard it. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng approached Consort Mi. As long as he pressed the button nearby, Consort Mi would be released. If he could hold off that speed demon for just a few seconds, Xiao Yefeng was confident he could carry Consort Mi away from here. The key was that this old fellow seemed to have fallen back into a working state after seeing his data.
At this time, the Virgo Palace Master held up his notebook, seemingly calculating something while comparing it to Xiao Yefeng's data. However, to Xiao Yefeng, these moments felt like the perfect opportunity to escape. Ever since gaining the Geomancer's abilities and unlocking the power of the Gene Serum, he had never entertained thoughts of retreating before a fight. Yet facing this old man, Xiao Yefeng truly felt a sense of helplessness. Moreover, it was evident that the laboratory was well-prepared; there was not a trace of spiritual energy within it, rendering Xiao Yefeng's usual combat methods useless.
Thus, Xiao Yefeng had to admit that he was feeling cowardly. Meanwhile, the Virgo Palace Master seemed frenzied as he shook his notebook incessantly. Seeing an opportunity arise, Xiao Yefeng swiftly pressed the button. The light green Life Goddess Potion behind the glass wall instantly sank downwards, and without the potion's immersion, Consort Mi finally fell to the ground.
Her swaying long hair covered her chest modestly, but there was nothing much to see; after all, Consort Mi's state was almost identical to when Xiao Yefeng activated his genes. The azure scales covering her added an exotic beauty to her appearance. However, standing behind the glass wall, Consort Mi had yet to open her eyes for a long time. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng was anxious; no one knew how long the Virgo Palace Master would remain engrossed in his research. The slow descent of the glass wall only heightened his urgency.
Fortunately, everything progressed quietly without disturbing the Virgo Palace Master's study. Time passed second by second; although only a little over ten seconds had gone by since it all began, it felt as long as a year.
Finally, when the glass wall descended to waist height, Xiao Yefeng could wait no longer. He stepped onto the apparatus and lifted Consort Mi in a swift motion. His feet sprang off like a spring towards the angled wall—this was an escape route he had planned long ago. Originally, the Virgo Palace Master stood at the only exit by the door, blocking Xiao Yefeng's normal path. However, the arrangement of instruments in this laboratory revealed another route.
As long as Xiao Yefeng crashed into the wall and used the rebound force to propel himself downward with a turn, he could escape from here. Holding Consort Mi tightly, he reached a position for a second turn while the Virgo Palace Master remained focused on his research, seemingly unaware that Xiao Yefeng was escaping. At this moment, joy surged through Xiao Yefeng as he pushed off with his feet and charged toward the door outside. Just then, the Virgo Palace Master murmured: "Indeed, you are exactly who I need! I have planned this trap for so long; how could I let you leave now?"
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yefeng felt as if struck by lightning; it was clear that his escape had been noticed. Without any hesitation, he activated his internal spiritual energy and caused an explosion beneath his feet. Using the rebound force in mid-air, he accelerated again in an attempt to leave this underground laboratory. After all, there was no spiritual energy here; fighting in such conditions would reduce his combat ability by at least forty percent. So even if he couldn't avoid battle entirely, he needed to reach an outer passage!
The crucial point was that if he could shake off this place for just a few seconds longer against the Virgo Palace Master, he would have confidence in escaping. However, unexpectedly at that moment, something unimaginable happened: with a snap of his fingers, the Virgo Palace Master commanded: "Zero! Take him down!"
Although Xiao Yefeng heard those words clearly at that moment, he dismissed them; there were only three beings present—himself, her, and a corpse—was he really expecting a corpse to stand up? That was absurd! Ever since the Living Corpse incident occurred, whenever Xiao Yefeng made a move, it guaranteed that his opponent would be dead—like when he previously killed the Death Gate Guardian at the entrance with one strike that shattered its heart pulse or destroyed critical joints within its body with Carefree Righteousness; even if it turned into a Living Corpse afterward, it would still be paralyzed.
However, as fate would have it—just as Xiao Yefeng brushed past that corpse—a sense of life-threatening danger re-emerged after years of absence. Thus, holding Consort Mi's slender waist with one arm and gripping his sword with his right hand positioned below him for defense.
There were no explosions or blinding lights; yet holding Consort Mi with one arm made Xiao Yefeng tumble like a kite with its string cut at the entrance—he was just one step away from leaving this place when everything changed—the door closed behind him. At that moment, supporting Consort Mi upright again revealed two figures before him: one clad in white—the Virgo Palace Master—and one in black—the already slain Guardian of the Door!
"Cough, cough!" Looking at the dense lines of death energy on the sword, Xiao Yefeng coughed a few times before helping Consort Mi lean against the door. He then grasped the long sword and stared at the two individuals. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng showed no expression, though he appeared somewhat puzzled.
"Are you wondering how he can still come back to life after having his heart meridian shattered and bones crushed by you?" The Virgo Palace Master smiled as he saw through Xiao Yefeng's confusion.
"Indeed, it's hard to believe. If it were just him at True Spirit Pinnacle, I believe that if that sword had successfully pierced you, you wouldn't be able to come back to life!" Xiao Yefeng stated bluntly without any pretense.
At that moment, Zero's stiff body swayed slightly. He remained silent, but the movement revealed the wounds on his chest. Xiao Yefeng noticed that the muscles on this person's chest were writhing and recovering like memory metal. Seeing this, Xiao Yefeng questioned, "Could it be the genes of an earthworm?"
The Virgo Palace Master paid no mind to Xiao Yefeng's words and adjusted his glasses. "That's right. The explosive power you unleashed has already surpassed mine. If I were Zero, I would surely be meeting God by now. Unfortunately for me, Zero possesses one of the most perfect Gene Serums in the constellation, derived from the genes of Ancient Immortal Insects! The earthworm merely inherited a tiny fraction of its genes!"
