"How is it?" Bi Xia asked calmly as he watched Meng Chi come down from the second floor.
Meng Chi shrugged and sat down opposite Bi Xia, "Everything’s normal. Maybe they’re undergoing mental fusion like I did back then."
Then, Meng Chi paused, looking at Bi Xia in confusion, "Boss, I don’t quite understand why you split the seed into two parts for them. If spiritual power can be refined, isn’t there still Liu Kai?"
"Why do you think the Sovereign refines spiritual power?" A cold voice slowly resonated. 007 looked up at Meng Chi, and it was clear Meng Chi was already aware of 007’s extraordinary nature, showing no excess surprise but a respectful gaze towards 007.
Seeing Meng Chi’s demeanor of genuine inquiry, coupled with his constant presence beside Bi Xia, 007 didn’t hide anything, "Those seeds are controlled. Destroying one would definitely raise their alarm over there; Liu Kai’s side cannot be touched."
"You’ve noticed, when the artificially induced spiritual power is used for a long time, they lose control. That’s because they inherently lack the ability to receive spiritual power—it’s a burden, and too much of it causes the body to collapse."
"The Sovereign split the flame into two parts. Regardless of whether it’s Chu Kuang or Ye Xiao, the burden their bodies bear is halved. Furthermore, since the core of the flame is forged from the Sovereign’s spiritual power, it means, should either of their spiritual power run unchecked, the Sovereign can reclaim it immediately."
"The most important thing is..." 007 glanced at Bi Xia, who was teasing the sleeping Xiao Wu, and smirked, "Probably they thought flame spiritual power looked cooler than mountain spiritual power...so in the end they chose..."
Meng Chi: ...
This... might indeed be the boss’s most straightforward thought... He chuckled helplessly and scratched his head, "So, what about me...? I mean, I was also developed later on. Is that alright?"
"You, Xiao, and Kuang belong to different cases."
Seeing Xiao Wu almost woken up by the teasing, Bi Xia immediately retracted his hand and coaxed him back to sleep, just in time to hear Meng Chi’s question and replied, "I asked about your situation back then. You self-activated your spiritual power. Although it’s acquired, it’s yours and within a controllable range. As long as you got past the hurdle when you fainted, you can cultivate spiritual power like ours. However... the price was that if you hadn’t endured, you’d have ended up a cripple."
"As for Xiao and Kuang’s spiritual power, in other words, it’s implanted. They need to slowly fuse and cultivate, and only when fully integrated can it be used. But compared to self-activated spiritual power, theirs will always be somewhat weaker. To what extent depends on their own efforts."
Saying this, Bi Xia glanced at Meng Chi, "You realize now how dangerous it was to forcibly trigger your spiritual power back then, right? Almost turned senile, do you even know?"
Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Meng Chi scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, "I was too excited at the time..."
But he was also very grateful... Meng Chi looked at his nearly transparent spiritual power and smiled. To be honest, the novelty feeling wasn’t there after obtaining it; it was more about feeling fortunate. From that day forward, he had more power to stand by his boss.
"But..." Bi Xia arched his eyebrows, "Your timing for the second awakening was pretty spot on, good job."
Meng Chi also innocently scratched his head. Good job at what? Suddenly disappearing into thin air on a plane? Thankfully, everyone around him were acquaintances, otherwise it would have caused panic.
"By the way, Boss," Meng Chi said, "that Hao Xisheng..."
With a slight narrowing of the eyes, Bi Xia said calmly, "Let him stay by our side. Don’t let him out of our sight."
Meng Chi nodded, "Alright."
"Sovereign," suddenly 007 straightened and looked at Bi Xia earnestly, "I think you need to contact your mother. I couldn’t locate them in Qing City, not even Bi Xiaohai."
Swiftly turning his head towards 007, "What did you say?!"
