Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "I've been looking for you for a long time," replied Ling Lan coldly, "I believe you've already sensed the current condition of this body."
"You're looking for me just for this?" The Transcendent Cold personality understood the reason for his appearance, and could not help but scoff, "You can't even endure such a small problem? How embarrassing. "
Due to the effects of the aphrodisiac, even though Luo Lang's bruised face was still tinged with a dazzling pink, his gaze was still clear and bright, as if he could not feel the restlessness and lust within his body. The Transcendent Cold personality indeed possessed the ability to sever all emotions and desires, which was why he could remain so calm in the face of change.
However, Ling Lan had a vague feeling that something was not right. She began to think back to the times when the previous personalities had appeared — those personalities had not lost control due to the effects of the aphrodisiac, losing their rationality and acting recklessly. Even when that unconscious bestial personality appeared, what it displayed was only the instincts of a wild beast, and nothing else...
Could it be that as long as the other personalities appeared, they would all have the ability to control the aphrodisiac? Then why was it that every time Luo Lang subdued those personalities, he would experience the power of the aphrodisiac? Ling Lan could not understand.
These questions flashed through her mind — Ling Lan did not have the time to think too deeply about them, because right now, the most important thing was to help Luo Lang subdue this Transcendent Cold personality, so that Luo Lang could completely endure the effects of the aphrodisiac.
Ling Lan had not expected the aphrodisiac of the future world to be so strong, not even running out in a single night. Every time she switched personalities, she could see Luo Lang's pained expression of endurance. This made Ling Lan rather worried about Luo Lang's body. Would he overdo it and damage his foundation... she hoped that it was as Instructor Number One had said, that there would be no aftereffects!
Ling Lan pushed down the worry in her heart, and began to negotiate terms with the Transcendent Cold personality. "Speak, what will it take for you to submit to the primary personality?"
It would be best if she could avoid fighting — whenever Ling Lan encountered a rational personality she could communicate with, she would not fight, but would first enter negotiation mode. Ling Lan was also afraid that if she kept fighting, Luo Lang's body would not be able to take it.
"Submit? He's not qualified yet, "replied Transcendent Cold coolly.
"Now? Then he can submit in the future? Does this mean that you are actually very optimistic about him? "Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and asked.
"He is our primary personality. When he becomes stronger than us, we will naturally submit to him," replied Transcendent Cold calmly. This was the truth. Luo Lang could not freely control his innate talent because his primary personality was too weak. It was no wonder that the secondary personalities would go berserk.
"Why don't you try to surrender now? Actually, it's good for both of you," Ling Lan suggested.
Transcendent Cold shook his head in rejection. "We have our own dignity. We only submit to the strong. If the primary personality is unable to become stronger than us, then he will never be able to control us. This is the price he must pay. There are no shortcuts."
"You really don't have any?" Ling Lan asked with a half-smile. The previous facts proved that shortcuts did exist, it was just that they hadn't been discovered yet.
Ling Lan's rhetorical question made Transcendent Cold choke. After several seconds of silence, he said, "Of course, it's not that there aren't any. If there is a boss that all of us secondary personalities are willing to acknowledge, we can listen to this boss's orders and acknowledge the primary personality as our main body."
Transcendent Cold's primary personality looked coldly at Ling Lan and continued, "Thinking about it, you must have discovered this shortcut. Those subdued secondary personalities were probably subdued in this way by the primary personality. If you defeat me, I am also willing to submit to you. At that time, if you want me to submit to the primary personality, I will also be willing to listen to your orders."
"I see." Only now did Ling Lan truly understand that Instructor Number One's suggestion was not for her to search for the Transcendent Cold personality, but for her to beat these personalities into submission one by one, helping Luo Lang complete the subjugation work.
"I wonder how many more personalities are there? Could it be that I have to fight until the last one? " Ling Lan mumbled to herself, smiling wryly inside. If she was unlucky, she would have to waste several days here — what a tough job. So, it was not so easy to be a boss...
"No need. As long as you defeat me, the other secondary personalities will also acknowledge you. Because I am the strongest of them all, "replied Transcendent Cold when he heard Ling Lan mumbling to herself. Even though his tone was cold and calm, Ling Lan could still hear the arrogance and confidence in Transcendent Cold's voice.
Transcendent Cold's words also explained why Instructor Number One had said that she must find the Transcendent Cold personality. It looked like Luo Lang did not need to rely on him to overcome the aphrodisiac crisis, but rather needed to beat the other into submission for Luo Lang to truly control his innate talent.
The so-called opportunity was just an excuse for Instructor Number One to make her move. It was no wonder that as time went on, Luo Lang's resistance to the aphrodisiac grew stronger and stronger. He was no longer as irrational as he had been at the start, always able to successfully activate his innate talent and hold on until the next personality appeared. In fact, the aphrodisiac had already been released during the fight. Just as the Transcendent Cold personality had said at the start, the aphrodisiac in Luo Lang's body was just a small matter. Because it was already nearing the end, the effects of the aphrodisiac were not strong.
At this thought, Ling Lan relaxed abruptly. Since the aphrodisiac was no longer a problem, as long as she defeated this personality before her and completed the mission of allowing Luo Lang to freely control his innate talent, she would have completed her mission.
"Alright, then let me see just how strong the Transcendent Cold personality is." Ling Lan calmly stretched out her right hand, indicating for the Transcendent Cold personality to make his move.
This was the posture of a superior dealing with a subordinate. In response, the Transcendent Cold personality did not feel that the other was underestimating him, because from the moment he had appeared, he had already sensed the terrifying strength hidden deep within Ling Lan's body. He knew very well that this person before him was not the opponent he had first encountered. He was much stronger, but this did not mean that he had no chance of winning.
A mocking smile appeared on the corners of the Transcendent Cold personality's lips. With a sudden stomp of his feet, his figure suddenly disappeared. In the next second, his fist was already right in front of Ling Lan's face. This speed of his had clearly broken through Luo Lang's original speed, reaching Luo Lang's limit...
"Good!" Ling Lan shouted in approval. She swung her head to the side and dodged the punch. Then, without hesitation, she struck back with her palm, aiming for the only opening in Luo Lang's attack, which was also his only fatal weak point — his chest!
Ling Lan thought that Transcendent Cold would choose to dodge, because if this palm landed, with the difference in strength between her and Luo Lang, he would definitely be heavily injured. A skilled fighter would not be so idiotic as to send himself to his death...
However, Transcendent Cold's actions gave Ling Lan a shock, because the other had not dodged at all, but had instead charged straight at her.
"F * ck, lunatic!" The other's actions were completely unexpected to Ling Lan. Furthermore, the other was intentionally sending himself forward. In the blink of an eye, Ling Lan's palm had already landed on Luo Lang's chest.
There was no time to change her move, so Ling Lan could only retract the powerful inner chi in her palm. Even though that palm strike had struck Luo Lang's chest, because it had not contained any inner chi, it had not injured Luo Lang. But right at this moment, a new force emerged. Luo Lang's other fist, which he had long been prepared for, slashed diagonally towards Ling Lan's side with the force of three One-Inch Punch.
Ling Lan, whose moves had been altered, had no chance of dodging, but what kind of person was Ling Lan? Her reaction speed at the peak of Qi-Jin was not something an early stage Qi-Jin could compare with. Ling Lan's other hand came down to block. The two forces collided, and a powerful burst of energy erupted between the two of them.
After the collision, the two of them were involuntarily sent flying backwards, each taking several steps back before regaining their footing.
Even Ling Lan, due to her hasty response and lack of preparation, could feel the hot blood in her chest roiling, a metallic taste rushing up her throat. It should be said that the merciless calculation of Transcendent Cold, coupled with the three One-Inch Punch, had caused Ling Lan to suffer a little.
"Actually daring to use Luo Lang's life to plot against me..." Ling Lan's eyes abruptly turned cold, a chill emanating from her body. At this moment, Ling Lan was feeling a little angry.
She found that this Transcendent Cold person before her had indeed lost all his emotions and desires, only an endless calmness. For the sake of victory, he had taken into account Ling Lan's brotherly love for Luo Lang. He had known from the start that his attack would be fruitless, but he also knew that Ling Lan greatly treasured this body of his and would not really want to hurt him. And this had been his chance. In truth, he had almost succeeded. It was just that Ling Lan's strength was too strong — even though she had fallen into his trap, she had relied on her superior strength to resist.
"If you didn't have any reluctance in your heart, my plan would not have succeeded," replied the Transcendent Cold personality, "So, this is not my fault."
At these words, Ling Lan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It seemed like she had brought this loss upon herself, but then again, what the Transcendent Cold personality said was not entirely wrong. If she had not been reluctant, the other would not have been able to plot against her.
"So goddamn despicable. Aren't you afraid that I'll turn the pretense into reality and really kill you?" said Ling Lan gloomily.
"If that's really the case, then it's my miscalculation. Even if I die, I deserve it." The Transcendent Cold personality's face was indifferent. In his heart, if the scheme he had painstakingly planned failed, then so be it if he died. He had to pay the price — there was nothing more to say.
Faced with this emotionless Transcendent Cold personality who only knew how to scheme, was not afraid of death, and was impervious to everything, Ling Lan felt rather helpless. Hells, this personality was really too difficult to deal with. Did she really have to kill him?
It had to be said that the Transcendent Cold personality had indeed grasped Ling Lan's lifeline. Ling Lan could not bear to hurt Luo Lang. Even though Luo Lang currently looked rather wretched, his entire face green and purple, his body covered in red, swollen, and bruises, with not a single part of his skin untouched, these were all superficial wounds. After one or two hours of treatment in the treatment pod, he would be back to normal. However, if Ling Lan really did kill Luo Lang and severely injured him, Luo Lang would probably have to be sent back to the Military Medical Research Centre, unable to come out for at least ten days to half a month... this left Ling Lan in a dilemma.
"Boss, it's almost daybreak. Should we create the illusion that you and Luo Lang have come out of the villa early this morning to fight in the combat hall?" Right then, Little Four, who could no longer drag things out, reminded Ling Lan in her mindspace.
Hearing this, Ling Lan's heart skipped a beat. Yes, if she created such an illusion, she would have a reason to send Luo Lang back to the Military Medical Research Centre to cause trouble for Li Shiyu...
It could be said that as they fought, Luo Lang's old injuries had actually relapsed. As the attending physician, Li Shiyu needed to take up this responsibility.
