Chapter 1555: Chapter 1550: Micro-Innovation

It was completely imaginable, the scene of that underground gathering.

Watching Benji with his head lowered, eyes half-closed, gazing at the Finger Ball in his palm, Fu Qian seemed to see many others in the same posture, their hearts filled with hope.

Although the movement was simple, like a prayer often seen in faith, the unique shape of the ball gave it a special visual allure.

Even with flesh still preserved, the ten fingers wrapped around it seemed to subtly integrate into the ball.

Even that unique sanctity was thereby inversely transmitted.

Originally, Benji loved life and savored gourmet food, but suddenly, he seemed to revert to his original purity, with a more refined, clear aura.

”It feels the same as last time, I—”

However, he clearly did not forget what he was doing, quickly articulating his feelings without needing a reminder.

Unfortunately, just as he began to speak, the new Academy Professor immediately gestured for silence.

”How do you feel? This is indeed what concerns me, but it’s not time yet.”

”Answer when I ask you to, until then keep this posture.”

Why does it feel a bit different from last time...

In that instant, an expression of bewilderment clearly appeared on Benji’s slightly dazed face.

Unfortunately, the tester simply sat there, caressing the ring on his hand without offering any explanation.

...

Micro-innovation?

At the same time, it was not only Benji who felt shocked.

Ji Liushuang, who had slightly moved forward, was also a bit startled by the innovation in the testing method.

Of course, it was not just the prohibition on the subject’s active statement; it was also that dreamlike, glistening ring played with by Professor Fu.

Even though no change was noticeable, Ji Liushuang believed a change had just occurred.

Professor Fu was indeed not prepared to simply repeat the process...

Ji Liushuang naturally thought of the other person’s conservative evaluation of Professor Chang Mo’s data, a foreboding premonition rising in his heart.

Nevertheless, as a competent assistant, besides concentrating fully, without missing any change on Benji, she made no additional action.

”Now you may—”

As each second ticked by, with Benji forced to maintain the same posture for some time, finally unable to resist, he spoke again.

Shhh—

Unfortunately, the response he received was the exact same gesture.

Professor Fu still seemed unwilling to ask questions.

This...

Once more being rebuffed, Benji instinctively turned and glanced at Ji Liushuang, unfortunately, her expressionless reaction made him fully accept his fate without uttering a word.

Yet people are like this: once they realize the situation cannot be changed, a unique quality emerges all at once.

In the blink of an eye, Benji resumed the praying gesture, his face already free of worry, and his clarity of mind a level higher.

...

Truly remarkable!

Seeing the tester who seemed never again to speak voluntarily, Fu Qian glanced at Ji Liushuang in admiration.

”Did you bring a sword?”

...aren’t you afraid of scaring him?

Unexpectedly, instead of asking her impression, Professor Fu turned to inquire whether she was carrying a weapon.

In curiosity, Ji Liushuang quickly flipped out a short sword from her side.

Slightly longer than a forearm, with a cross-shaped guard, the exquisite hilt had vermilion traces climbing upwards.

The crafter, Bladed Edge.

This remarkable quality short sword was clearly suitable for carrying, something she had consistently done since acquiring it.

The key issue, however, was that this weapon was originally given to her by the person in front of her.

Being so close, how could he not know she was carrying it?

Though unsure of the real purpose, it was clear this remark aimed to intimidate.

However, the tester showed calmness, even as Professor Fu reached out, drawing a part of the short sword, yet resisted glancing this way.

”Does it handle well?”

Unfortunately, Fu Qian hadn’t even finished, yet surprisingly was inquiring about her experience using it.

”...Though a bit short, it’s unexpectedly handy to use.”

As the topic wandered further, despite the peculiarity, Miss Liushuang earnestly answered.

”Even Professor Chang previously praised it, saying this weapon was anything but superficial.”

Given that the gift came from him, receiving such commendation from the Swordsmanship Department professors was no easy feat.

Fu Qian sighed inwardly, the next moment finally steering the conversation back to the core issue.

”What do you think of Brother Benji’s condition?”

Aren’t you worried that this might affect his mindset and the test results?

Ji Liushuang sharply noticed that Benji finally froze for a moment at this remark.

Yet the confusion was fleeting; confident in Fu Qian’s methods, after a quick assessment, she expressed her conclusion.

”I tend to agree with Professor Chang’s view; true liberation may still be far, but compared to previous conditions, there seems to be improvement.”

Considering the current serious research exploration, her words were careful yet without false optimism.

”Also, this item seems indeed to have a certain promoting effect in this area.”

...

It was clear that Benji, having resolved to adopt the ”he’s strong, let him be” mindset, very much wanted to argue his case.

Yet in the end, he seemed to recall Fu Qian’s request, even the sword in his hand, choosing to await further instructions.

”Indeed it seems so, and from Professor Chang’s records, others responded similarly. Alright, it’s about time.”

Having observed the entire shift, Fu Qian nodded in agreement, surprisingly sheathing the Bladed Edge sword and handing it back.

”Here, demonstrate your recent achievement once more.”

As Ji Liushuang thought Fu Qian was finally ready to begin questioning, unexpectedly he made a new request, nodding towards Benji for emphasis.

Recent achievement, Xinjian Prison?

Professor Fu’s suggestion, Miss Liushuang naturally realized immediately.

Though it didn’t mean she understood the intent.

Worried Benji might lie?

That’s unquestionably one of the most straightforward uses of the Xinjian Prison.

Yet, considering its characteristic ability, she would have to conduct a separate inquiry, carefully choosing her words...

The thought flickered across her mind but did not impact Ji Liushuang’s actions at all.

Just as Benji struggled to contain his curiosity and turned his head, the short sword had already been drawn to point directly at him.

This...

The next moment, pure white unfolded predictably.

While scrutinizing the ensnared individual, Ji Liushuang hadn’t even begun to speak when she noticed Professor Fu’s figure suddenly appear, squeezing in with an odd posture.
