Gao Ning slowly gathered his Qi as a precaution, and with himself as the central point, he had already set up the Twelve Labors Formation.
Qi (vital energy) is the foundation of a person; as the saying goes, "Man fights for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense!"
As long as one is within Gao Ning's Twelve Emotional Array, he can influence the twelve meridians of the person within the array. Each meridian corresponds to two emotions, positive and negative. By constantly switching between positive and negative, he weakens the opponent, much like bending a wire. After several switches, he torments the person's emotions to the point of collapse, causing them to sink into a certain emotion. Whenever they are immersed in this emotion, the corresponding organ will be damaged. Unless their will is as strong as steel, they will be manipulated and tortured to death by Gao Ning.
Gao Ning carefully observed Xu Le, who was trapped in a false dream. As soon as Xu Le broke free from the dream, Gao Ning would manipulate his twelve meridians the moment he woke up, shattering his emotions and damaging his internal organs.
Gao Ning is currently waiting for the right opportunity, because taking action now would awaken Xu Le from his false dream.
Xia He was not stunned. Seeing Dou Mei carry Shen Chong back, she picked up a sharp stone, infused it with her Qi, and flung it toward Xu Le's face.
The pebble, empowered by the Qi, tore through space like an arrow released from a bow, shooting towards Xu Le with sharpness and death.
A death crisis has arrived!

Chapter 108: False or True (Bonus Chapter for Guangling Guantao Helmsman)
In the virtual world, Xu Le came to the orphanage, the place that allowed him to survive and grow up healthily.
Xu Le had forgotten why he had come back here; he only remembered that he was working, and suddenly he found himself here.
Based on his past memories, Xu Le arrived at an open space in the orphanage. There were some simple sports equipment and a soccer field drawn with chalk. The goal was made of rusty scrap iron. After all, the orphanage was already short of funds, and the old director often brought back abandoned children. If it weren't for the support of kind people and the old director's own retirement pension, the orphanage would have gone bankrupt long ago. So it was impossible to buy sports equipment, and everything had to be made by hand.
Xu Le came to a crooked tree with a simple swing hanging on it. Xu Le touched the swing connected by thick hemp rope. Although it was ugly, it was the only fun he had in his childhood. Moreover, it was specially made for him by the old headmaster.
To this end, the old dean climbed a tree more than ten meters high, tied a thick hemp rope to it, and then accidentally fell down and twisted his ankle when he climbed down. At that time, he was only about two meters from the ground, but he was not seriously injured.
It was precisely for this reason that Xu Le cherished this swing very much and always monopolized it, which caused him to have a bad relationship with the other children.
Xu Le sat on the swing, shaking it vigorously, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility, and forgetting why he had come here in the first place.
"Lele, you're back!"
An old voice interrupted Xu Le's thoughts. Xu Le jumped off the swing and looked in the direction of the voice. An old man with white hair was looking at him with a smile on his face, as if he had seen a child he had not seen for a long time.
"Grandpa Dean!" Xu Le called softly, tears welling in his eyes, and ran over to embrace the old man. Feeling the warmth of the old man in his arms, Xu Le was overwhelmed with joy.
"Ah Le, now that you're back, don't leave again. Stay here and make the most of it. Grandpa is so lonely!" The old man's face, covered in age spots, relaxed into a smile, making him look much younger. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes—tears of joy.
Xu Le felt as if he had forgotten something very important, but seeing the smile on the Dean's face, he put aside his doubts and replied with a smile, "Okay!"
Xu Le stayed there until the afternoon, and accompanied the old director on a tour of the orphanage. It was no different from when he left, except that there was no one else, only him and the old director.
Xu Le followed quietly behind the old dean, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, he caught sight of a large golden rooster out of the corner of his eye.
The golden rooster flapped its wings and crowed twice at Xu Le. Xu Le looked puzzled and began to recall if he had seen this rooster somewhere before.
"Lele, what are you standing there for?" The dean asked with concern as he saw Xu Le staring blankly at the air.
Xu Le snapped out of his daze, saw the kind face on the old dean's face, put aside his doubts, and continued to follow.
After that, Xu Le saw all sorts of animals, including rats, pigs, and horses...
Without exception, they all had golden fur and intelligent eyes, staring intently at him. But what puzzled Xu Le was that the old dean seemed unable to see them. These magical creatures passed in front of him without the slightest fluctuation in his eyes. Unless one couldn't see them, it was impossible for him to remain completely unresponsive to these wondrous animals.
"Sing~"
A deafening dragon roar exploded in the air. Xu Le looked up and saw a five-clawed golden dragon appearing and disappearing in the clouds, its head and tail barely visible. Its massive body was hidden in the clouds, its long whiskers fluttering in the wind, and its huge eyes staring at Xu Le with a strange expectation in them.
"Grandpa Dean!" Xu Le called out to the old dean who was still leading the way, originally wanting to talk to him about the golden dragon in the sky.
But seeing the confusion on the old dean's face, Xu Le knew that the old dean hadn't actually seen the magnificent celestial dragon. He swallowed back what he was about to say, and looking at the old dean's questioning eyes, he replied perfunctorily, "It's nothing."
Xu Le felt as if he had forgotten a lot of things. The images of these animals slowly came together in his mind, and Xu Le was surprised to find that they seemed to be the twelve zodiac animals.
Why the twelve zodiac animals?
Xu Le's doubts deepened, but his memory seemed shrouded in a fog, and he couldn't recall anything.
He looked up at the golden dragon again. The golden dragon had bright eyes, flames in its mouth, and was dancing in the air. Then it spewed out a huge pillar of fire, burning the sky.
Jinlong glanced at Xu Le, then plunged headlong into the flames. The flames danced with his movements, then gathered together and exploded suddenly...
Sparks fell, and an eternal, timeless white light shone, piercing the sky. A huge white sphere of light appeared before Xu Le's eyes, obscuring the heavens and the earth.
The sphere of light, carrying boundless power and ancient might, descended upon the world, and a black dot appeared in the center of the sphere.
Logically, at such a distance, it shouldn't be possible to see clearly, but the black dot in Xu Le's eyes was getting closer and closer, and the blurry figure was gradually becoming clearer.
Xu Le saw clearly that it was a person, a figure sitting on a throne, a proud and invincible figure, whose appearance gradually became clearer.
Almost there!
Xu Le looked at the figure and felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before. As the dark figure drew closer, he finally saw it clearly.
Xu Le's pupils constricted sharply, and he muttered to himself in disbelief, "How could this be..."
The figure on the throne was none other than Xu Le, but he was dressed in a black robe, his pride impossible to conceal, looking down upon the world with an air of superiority and indifference.
Xu Le on the throne glanced at Xu Le on the ground. Their eyes met, a gaze that seemed to span eternity, traversing countless times and spaces to arrive at this moment.
Xu Le, sitting on the throne, smiled slightly, like a spring breeze melting the ice, bringing warmth to the world. After saying a sentence to Xu Le, the sphere of light shattered, turning into countless points of light that merged into the void, as if nothing had ever happened.
Xu Le was stunned. After clearly seeing what the other Xu Le was saying, he seemed to understand something, and a large number of memories began to resurface...
In the evening, in the orphanage's canteen, the director was busy in the kitchen while Xu Le sat on a chair waiting. Before long, the old director brought out several dishes, all of which were Xu Le's favorites, including his favorite braised pork.
