“Yes, the Holy Light Spiritual Field is actually a spiritual field. It’s just that after thousands of years of refinement by the Arbitration Institute’s devout faith, the nature of the spiritual field exhibits a purer quality, but it still has other characteristics of a spiritual field.” Although she didn’t understand why Ling Yun asked this, Chen Jiaxuan nodded and patiently explained.
She stretched out her palm, and a small, milky-white ball of light, about the size of a ping-pong ball, suddenly bloomed in her fair palm, radiating a faint milky-white glow. Although the ball of light was extremely small, everyone still felt a cool and sacred aura, and they were all instantly invigorated, feeling refreshed and happy. It seems that holy light can not only suppress the aura of darkness, but also uplift people's spirits.
"This is the power of Holy Light telekinesis. It has very pure characteristics, especially in the spiritual realm, where it can bring great pleasure and enjoyment. It also has extremely significant healing effects on physical and mental injuries," Chen Jiaxuan said slowly. When she unleashed the Holy Light, her face became exceptionally gentle and devout, as if she had become a different person.
"I have seen the evolution of Holy Light in the Holy Book. In the beginning, because the faith in light and darkness was at opposite ends of a contradiction, Holy Light was mainly used as a suppressive weapon to deal with dark creatures. Later, in the long river of time, as the pure power of faith was continuously added to Holy Light, the nature of Holy Light also slowly changed. Until today, Holy Light, as a symbol of light, can no longer be used by anyone except those with supernatural abilities who have a devout faith in the Lord. Unfortunately, dark creatures still exist. We have been hunting them for thousands of years, but we have never been able to completely eliminate them."
At this point, Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but feel a little sad. Her teacher was Quasimodo, the chief arbitrator of the arbitration institute. He had sighed in front of her more than once about the decline of light-type ability users. Ability users were already one in ten thousand, and those with devout faith were even rarer. Society today is too restless. Everyone treats faith as a comfort, but very few people have true faith.
Although the arbitration institute is an organization with a thousand-year history, it is lacking talent and its strength is gradually weakening. Most of the people in the institute are old guys over fifty years old. Young talents like Chen Jiaxuan are not absent, but they only make up a small part. Thinking of her teacher's cultivation of her, Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but feel ashamed.
This is also the main reason why she tried so hard to bring Su Bingyan into the arbitration institution.
Ling Yun carefully examined the holy light. This was not the first time he had seen it. Back in Hong Kong, the Vice-Chief Arbitrator Theodore had once led four arbitrators to cast a holy light purification spell, instantly turning two powerful vampire marquises into ashes. Even Grand Duke William, who was a super strong among dark creatures, would probably have perished if he hadn't escaped in time.
However, Theodore left in such a hurry last time that Ling Yun didn't have time to analyze the attributes of the Holy Light. Now that there's a possibility of being hostile to dark creatures, it becomes necessary to analyze the Holy Light using his copying ability. Chen Jiaxuan is right; the Holy Light is just a mental force field. As long as the corresponding power attributes are converted, Ling Yun should also be able to unleash the Holy Light.
This is the greatness of the copying ability. Any attack, any supernatural technique, as long as there is a possibility of analysis, Ling Yun can copy and imitate it. He can even improve upon the copied version. This great supernatural technique, inherited from the fifth stage of simulation, has propelled Ling Yun to the pinnacle of supernatural beings.
Ling Yun closed his eyes, and the analyzed data was transmitted to his mind in groups. He felt the subtle differences between the holy light and the ordinary mental field. Since the power of lightning forcibly enhanced his strength, the speed of copying and analyzing superpowers has become faster and faster, as fast as the upgrading of computers, from Pentium I to Pentium IV.
He suddenly closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something. The three women were all taken aback, wondering what Ling Yun was going to do. Did it end after he saw the holy light?
Lingyun discovered that the pure nature of Holy Light is largely determined by the spiritual beliefs of the Arbiter. However, this belief is not the cause, nor is Holy Light the effect. Devotion to faith and pure thoughts are the main reasons for the formation of Holy Light. But it cannot be said that there is no cause and effect relationship at all. Because faith is good, Holy Light has various healing, pleasant, and inspiring effects. In other words, pure thoughts are the foundation for the birth of Holy Light, while good faith is the benchmark for the characteristics of Holy Light.
This is like a person with kind intentions who naturally gives generously and helps others; their actions can even inspire others, possessing a positive power. Faith relies on this principle. On the other hand, consider dark creatures, inherently cruel, especially vampires who take human blood and the lives of others as their very purpose. How can they possibly inspire sympathy?
Justice resides in the hearts of the people. No one is born liking evil and sin. Therefore, dark creatures are forever restrained by the Holy Light, just as light and darkness are irreconcilable. Sadly, dark creatures never realize this.
The data analysis was complete. A small ball of holy light automatically appeared in Ling Yun's mind. The rest was activated using his mental energy field. The issue of pure thought was easily resolved; a state of mental clarity was the purest form of thought. As for the content of his faith…
Ling Yun opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and stretched out his palm just like Chen Jiaxuan. Suddenly, a small ball of milky white light bloomed in his palm, almost exactly the same as the one in Chen Jiaxuan's hand, emanating the same holy aura, and they complemented each other.
Two milky-white orbs of holy light suddenly floated into the air together, then intertwined and flew together like two satellites. The holy aura suddenly became much stronger, and the group even saw a snow-white angel fluttering its wings, appearing and disappearing in the center of the orbs.
Su Bingyan and Li Lingling were unfazed, merely watching the scene with astonishment, clearly seeing holy light for the first time and finding it quite novel. Chen Jiaxuan, however, was completely different. She stared at Ling Yun in shock, her mind frozen in disbelief.
She was a natural-born superhuman, trained from a young age, and it wasn't until more than a decade later that she finally unleashed her holy light, while Ling Yun...
Can one unleash holy light without devout faith? Chen Jiaxuan was suddenly a little confused. Ling Yun, what exactly are you?
The plane suddenly jolted violently, then wobbled as if weightless. Fortunately, all four people were superhumans, and they only shuddered before returning to normal.
With a whoosh, the cabin door was suddenly pulled open, and Xia Tian walked in with a grim face: "Ling Yun, the situation is bad. For some reason, the plane's engines suddenly shut down, and we are plummeting rapidly!"
Chapter 421 Angel Wings
On the open field, the atmosphere between the Superpower Headquarters and the Superpower Bureau became even more tense. Xiao Rou's words were like a shot of adrenaline, piercing the heart of the Superpower Bureau and instantly igniting a frenzy among its superpowered members.
What? Apart from Weish and Tang Tiejin, no one is a match for Ling Yun? The super strong people were immediately furious, all feeling that this girl was far too arrogant, practically praising her boyfriend to the skies.
It's true that Xiao Rou and Ling Yun are the youngest super strong individuals, and their appearance has overturned everyone's understanding. However, it's still hard for everyone to believe that they have reached the level of Tang Tiejin and Weish. When a person's strength reaches the level of a super strong individual, every step forward means great difficulty. These two little guys have only just entered the ranks of general-level strong individuals. How dare they be so arrogant?
Vish stared at Xiaorou and suddenly said, "Tang, tell me, how did this girl appear? And her boyfriend, that Ling Yun, how exactly did he cultivate? Is this your trump card? Or is it a secret weapon from the Superpower Headquarters?"
Tang Tiejin smiled wryly and said, "If I had such a trump card, do you think I would still be so low-key? Those are two super strong experts. How many super strong experts are there in this world? And how could I possibly hide it from your eyes and ears?"
“But isn’t she with you? And if I remember correctly, this girl is called Gu Xiaorou, and she’s the holder of the Heavenly Eye. When the Heavenly Eye issued the kill order, her strength was not even as good as a lieutenant. As for Ling Yun, I’ve never heard of him. He seems to be a super strong person who suddenly appeared. Tang, I’m really confused. It seems like the world has become different from before.” Wesh said, word by word.
“Don’t be confused. The world is indeed different now than before. We’re all getting old. It’s time for the young people to take over.” Tang Tiejin looked at Xiao Rou gently. “Weish, Xiao Rou is not my subordinate. She is my own daughter.”
Wesh was taken aback: "Your own daughter? My God, I remember you've been single all these years, how did you end up with a daughter? You're not making fun of me, are you?"
Tang Tiejin gave him a disapproving look: "Why am I teasing you? I'm serious. I have a child now, just like you. I've said goodbye to my bachelor life."
Wish shook his head: "No, you're still an old bachelor. I can tell from your daughter that she doesn't seem close to you. You never raised her; you're just her blood father. That's useless. Family ties need to be cultivated. If you don't put in the effort, how can you expect to gain your daughter's love and enjoy family life?"
“I know I don’t have the right to say that. My daughter doesn’t hate me, but she doesn’t love me either. She acts as if I don’t exist as her father. It’s really hard for me. I would rather she hate me.” Tang Tiejin’s face darkened. “However, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to her and giving her warmth. She has already lost her mother and can’t lose her father too. No matter how independent she is, in my eyes she will always be a child. From now on, I can only be good to her.”
“That’s right, my old friend. It looks like things are about to get out of control. Perhaps we’ll both have to step in and put things in order,” Wish said with a wry smile, watching the situation spiral out of control.
"Wait a little longer. I have a feeling that Lingyun will come back," Tang Tiejin said slowly.
"So what if Ling Yun is back? But I'd really like to meet this little guy from the previous one." Wesh squinted and said meaningfully. Wesh was quite interested in the young man who broke through the six masters. Not many people could escape from him. Although he took advantage of the gap in the neutrino bomb attack, it was enough to prove that Ling Yun himself was also a top expert.
"Not really. I just think that if he reappears, it could very well change the current situation. That kid hasn't shown up or contacted us since he escaped from your underground base. He must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't have disappeared for no reason," Tang Tiejin said confidently.
“I hope so. But even if Ling Yun doesn’t come back, I won’t let the Superpower Bureau and Superpower Headquarters take action. You and I will handle everything.” Wesh said, pointing to his chest and then to Tang Tiejin.
"Aren't you afraid that your president and Congress will cause you trouble? Turning national security into a private brawl?" Tang Tiejin said.
“I’m a superhuman, not a politician. Screw Congress. If you push me too far, I’ll quit. Nobody can force me. Stop using national security as an excuse. But you, Tang, your system in China is completely different from ours. I’m afraid you’ll have to follow your superiors’ orders to do anything,” Wesh said with a smile.
“You’re a superhuman, and so am I. We have to obey the commander’s orders, but I would never joke with my brothers’ lives.” Tang Tiejin also cursed and laughed with Wesh.
Fortunately, the two were standing far away from the crowd, so no one heard them. Everyone thought the two highest-ranking officials were negotiating with serious expressions, but little did they know that Weish and Tang Tiejin kept using the vulgar term "old man." If anyone had heard that, they probably would have fainted on the spot.
Xiao Rou coldly looked at the many super strong people from the Superpower Bureau. She didn't need to prove whether her words were true or false. If the other party didn't believe her, then they would know after a fight. The girl always believed that fists were the best proof.
A subtle atmosphere slowly spread among the crowd. All eyes were fixed on Xiaorou, some with admiration, some with disdain, some with indifference, some with arrogance, and some with anger. Despite expressing a variety of emotions, everyone had to admit that this girl did indeed have an indescribable arrogance. She was like a beautiful black swan, standing tall and proud in everyone's sight, beautiful, serene, and dignified. Many of the superpowered individuals from the headquarters looked at Xiaorou with burning eyes. If they didn't know that her boyfriend was Ling Yun, they probably would have already tried to strike up a conversation with her.
Mike smiled coldly, looking at Xiaorou without showing any emotion, and crossed his arms: "Are you provoking us like this on behalf of the Superpower Headquarters to declare war on us? Or are you relying on your reputation as a super strong person and planning to fight one-on-one, making us fight in a gauntlet?"
His words were clearly a trap, and Xiao Rou naturally understood the snare in his words. She said expressionlessly, "I am not a member of the Superpower Headquarters, nor do I represent the Superpower Headquarters. All of today's actions have nothing to do with the Superpower Headquarters. However, since you say I am provoking you, then I will provoke you once. Whether it is a series of battles or not is not important, but I want to challenge you to a duel first. I wonder what this gentleman thinks?"
The Superpower Headquarters erupted in cheers! Xiao Rou's words were sharp and firm, and she avoided taking responsibility for standing up for the Superpower Headquarters. Since she only represented herself, it didn't matter what she did. With Mike's high rank and power, how could he not agree to a challenge from a super strong person who was still a junior?
The members of the Superpower Bureau looked at each other in bewilderment. What was going on? Wesh was whispering to Tang Tiejin, completely oblivious to how far the conflict had progressed. Meanwhile, Deputy Director Mike was being provoked by a girl who wasn't from Superpower Headquarters, and it looked like the two were about to fight. Things seemed to have gotten out of control.
