Chapter 30

The sweet metallic taste of blood spread across the tip of his tongue, permeating the entire mouth. Ying Feng increased the pressure of his bite. Ling Xiao’s body tensed for a moment, then went limp, as if he had lost all strength.

Sensing that his prey was no longer resisting, Ying Feng gradually lessened his force. His sharp teeth left two deep bite marks on Ling Xiao’s chest. Ying Feng lowered his head, licking the marks he left on Ling Xiao, his soft tongue circling around, then slowly moving towards the collarbone and neck. The scent of Ling Xiao’s blood, mixed with dust, made Ying Feng frown.

Ling Xiao was on the brink of death. There are many ways to die, but Ling Xiao seemed like a lost wanderer in the desert, barely alive under the scorching sun. Ying Feng’s kiss felt like someone pouring refreshing spring water into his mouth, reigniting the life within him.

The burning sensation from the Ember in his blood was suppressed by the purifying effect of Ying Feng’s saliva. Ling Xiao’s unusually high body temperature began to drop. His eyes twitched, but he couldn’t open them. The coolness from the kiss provided comfort to the scorching hot Ling Xiao, and out of an instinct to survive, he weakly responded to Ying Feng’s actions.

Ling Xiao’s obvious plea made Ying Feng pause for half a second, followed by a more aggressive round of actions. He fervently kissed Ling Xiao, his dominant tongue stirring in Ling Xiao’s mouth, occasionally their teeth clashing due to inexperience. Unswallowed saliva trickled down the corner of their mouths, forming a tempting trail that disappeared behind the ear.

As Ling Xiao’s temperature stabilized, the heat in Ying Feng’s body continued to surge. The predatory kisses could no longer satisfy his desires. But no one had ever taught Ying Feng how to handle this situation, and he knew even less about intimacy than the unconscious Ling Xiao beneath him.

Unable to find a way to release his desires, Ying Feng desperately bit Ling Xiao, attempting to satiate his lust this way. But besides leaving more suspicious marks on Ling Xiao, his cravings weren’t relieved but rather intensified.

Pain woke Ling Xiao, who moaned briefly, further exciting Ying Feng. He bit down on a sensitive part of Ling Xiao’s chest, causing Ling Xiao to tense and unconsciously lift his lower body, rubbing against Ying Feng’s private parts.

This contact brought electric pleasure to Ying Feng and gave him an idea. He began to mimic the movement, rubbing back against Ling Xiao. This limited pleasure temporarily satisfied him while he kept leaving more marks on Ling Xiao’s body.

However, such mild actions could hardly curb the overwhelming lust induced by the Ember extract. Ying Feng’s eyes glowed dangerously, and his heavy breathing was unsettling. If he couldn’t find a better way to release his tension soon, he might uncontrollably consume the unconscious Ling Xiao.

His gaze swept over Ling Xiao with ill intentions. Instinctively, he knew only this person could rescue him from his unbearable state.

The tight uniform became a hindrance. Ying Feng tried to unbutton it but failed several times due to his agitation. Finally, he hastily removed his coat and shirt, revealing his toned muscles, which were obviously not fully developed.

In an instant, the coolness brought him relief. Encouraged, Ying Feng quickly stripped off his trousers. The bulge in his underwear was evident, with traces of an unidentified liquid. Overwhelmed by his primal urges, without any shame, he removed his last piece of clothing, revealing his aroused state to the open air. The scorching object bounced a few times.

Ying Feng realized that all pleasure stemmed from that particular spot. Whenever it was stimulated, his entire body would tremble uncontrollably. He straddled Ling Xiao, gripping and randomly rubbing the rod-like object with one hand while the other uncontrollably roamed over Ling Xiao’s smooth skin, moving from the chest down to the waist, not missing any part. Under Ying Feng’s touch, Ling Xiao bit his lower lip, his head gently swaying from side to side.

Ying Feng’s inexperienced techniques occasionally hurt him. He let go of the rod and, imitating the movement from before, used his lower body in place of his hand to rub against Ling Xiao’s bare upper body. A clear liquid dripped down, smearing Ling Xiao’s abdomen. But with the viscous liquid’s lubrication, this motion was evidently more pleasurable. Ying Feng gasped for breath, moving against Ling Xiao in a way hard to describe with words. His hips moved uncontrollably downward, eventually discovering new territory between Ling Xiao’s legs.

He tightened his legs around Ling Xiao’s and inserted his hard penis between them, rhythmically thrusting. It was a biological instinct; something that could be understood without teaching. Unfortunately, the roughness of the fabric mixed pleasure with pain. Ying Feng couldn’t resist the pleasure nor tolerate the pain. After instinctively thrusting a few dozen times, he finally tore off Ling Xiao’s trousers in frustration. Ling Xiao’s top had already been torn to shreds by Ying Feng earlier, so now the two of them were completely naked, their privates pressed closely together. Ling Xiao’s lower body also responded, but due to his semi-conscious state, he wasn’t as vigorous as Ying Feng.

Ying Feng lay on top of Ling Xiao, his waist never stopping its rhythmic motion. The area between Ling Xiao’s legs was again smeared with the sticky liquid, and his own essence similarly stained Ying Feng’s abdomen. But Ying Feng’s usual obsession with cleanliness was nowhere to be found. Normally, he wouldn’t even touch Ling Xiao if he was dirty and injured. Yet today, he embraced and kissed Ling Xiao fervently. When sand entered his mouth, he simply spat it out, continuing to kiss Ling Xiao until the taste of blood was diluted. This primal act of one-sided desire was interrupted by Ling Xiao’s slow awakening. The weight of Ying Feng on him, on his broken rib, brought a sharp pain to his chest.

“Ugh…” Ling Xiao let out a pained moan.

However, whether he was conscious or not made no difference to Ying Feng, who continued his advances. Ling Xiao’s privates, with the friction against Ying Feng’s lower abdomen, also began to respond.

But the groggy Ling Xiao couldn’t connect Ying Feng’s advances with the scenes he’d secretly watched in the movie. He only felt that Ying Feng was causing pain in his chest and didn’t even realize his clothes were gone.

Using all his strength, Ling Xiao tried to lift a leg, hoping to kick Ying Feng away, but he was too weak. Ying Feng caught his knee, making it seem as if he was intentionally guiding the way.

This single movement led to an unintentional intimate contact. Ling Xiao’s entrance reflexively tightened, seemingly inviting its intruder. Ying Feng, with heightened senses at the moment, quickly grasped the hint. He spread Ling Xiao’s other leg, and the entrance he had been seeking was now exposed to the weapon that had its veins bulging.

Even in his drowsy state, Ling Xiao realized the precarious situation he was in. Ying Feng’s actions resembled the adult scenes he had sneaked peeks at, and he felt the pressure from Ying Feng’s hardness.

“Don’t…” His voice trembled in refusal. But he didn’t realize that from the moment they formed their bond, his body had accepted Ying Feng as its sole master. Now, sensing its master’s approach, it automatically became wet and relaxed, preparing for Ying Feng’s entry.

Feeling the pull from Ling Xiao’s entrance, Ying Feng lost control and wanted to enter. This clear invitation no longer made him hesitate. With a little force, he entered halfway smoothly. He repeated the motion, and his scorching heat was completely submerged into Ling Xiao’s body. The unprecedented tightness made him exhale in pleasure. After wandering outside for so long, he finally found where he belonged.

Ling Xiao felt a momentary discomfort, followed by an overwhelming feeling of fullness. It felt as if his lost soul was refilled, making him whole again. Tears involuntarily flowed from his eyes.

Ying Feng leaned down, unusually gentle, licking away the tears from Ling Xiao’s eyes. Ling Xiao, still resisting, spoke in a tearful voice, “Get out…”

Ying Feng’s brief tenderness was thoughtlessly expelled by Ling Xiao. Having just become a Qizhu, Ying Feng was still in the early stages of establishing his authority and had not yet learned to relinquish control over the separated soul. In this state, he was obviously unwilling to accept a Qizi who defied his will. Moreover, desire controlled his body; resisting up to this point was already his limit.

Ying Feng sat up, effortlessly spreading Ling Xiao’s legs once more. Given Ling Xiao’s current exhaustion and severe injuries, even if he were in perfect condition, he could not resist the whims of his Qizhu. Especially this Qizhu, who had already crossed the boundaries of reason.

Discovering the right way to assert his claim, Ying Feng thrusted forward forcefully, immediately eliciting a suppressed moan from Ling Xiao, far more pleasing than his earlier refusals. Enjoying this melodious sound, Ying Feng continuously moved, with intermittent moans uncontrollably escaping from the corner of Ling Xiao’s mouth. Along with Ying Feng’s heavy breathing, the sounds of flesh slapping together mixed with sizzling water, and other audible indications of their actions, they echoed in what was probably the most inauspicious setting ever for a bridal chamber.

Ling Xiao’s lower half was violently penetrated, and his upper body was also forced to sway. Already in a daze, his mind became even more muddled. He closed his eyes, seeing countless afterimages swaying before him. The dream had finally turned into reality. But the roles had shifted; the one who had previously been receiving was now on top, and he was helplessly at the mercy of the other.

Ying Feng’s hands gripped Ling Xiao’s thighs tightly. Looking down, he could see part of his own body moving inside Ling Xiao. The tight passage was only relaxed upon his initial entry. Afterwards, it sucked him in tightly, clinging to him without letting go. Even after numerous thrusts, there were no signs of slackening. Instead, it became even more burning and moist, providing unparalleled pleasure with every thrust.

Unfortunately, the severely injured Ling Xiao couldn’t experience the same pleasure. Despite trying multiple times, every time he attempted to open his eyes, he was forced to shut them, seeing only the vague silhouette of Ying Feng’s moving figure and his flushed eyes.

With one fierce thrust from Ying Feng, the weakened Ling Xiao passed out again.

An attacker who had lost his sanity and an unconscious receiver; this absurd one-sided affair continued for an unknown length of time. As he moved, Ying Feng’s gaze fixed on Ling Xiao’s earlobe, and without thinking, he leaned down, biting the soft flesh with the tip of his tooth.

It seemed like a signal, and the floodgates finally opened. All of Ying Feng’s pent-up desire was released, culminating in his first climax in ten years. Experiencing this pleasure for the first time in his life, even the usually rational and calm Ying Feng succumbed to the sensation.

After his release, Ying Feng lay on top of Ling Xiao, motionless with his eyes closed, absentmindedly playing with Ling Xiao’s earlobe.

When he finally realized what he had done, he sat up anxiously, staring in disbelief at the undeniable marks he had left on Ling Xiao.

Like someone who had done something wrong, Ying Feng hurriedly withdrew from Ling Xiao. The visible proof of their act confronted him directly, denying any chance of denial.

The crystalline fluid on Ling Xiao’s abdomen was another damning evidence. Not wanting to face the truth, Ying Feng impulsively tried to wipe it away but ended up with his hand covered in the sticky substance. He grabbed a nearby school uniform, presumably belonging to one of them, and desperately wiped his hand clean.

When he realized that the truth of what had transpired couldn’t be changed, Ying Feng discarded the uniform and covered his eyes in despair, overwhelmed by Ling Xiao’s lingering scent.

He had formed a bond, hastily completing the most important ceremony of his life with someone he hadn’t even considered. This blood bond was irrevocable, and the genes of their kind didn’t allow betrayal. From this moment on, his soul was tied to the unconscious man on the ground, and only death could separate them.

The previously heated Ying Feng now felt like he had plunged into an icy pit. He hastily dressed, as if this could cover up his previous beastly behavior.

After dressing neatly, Ying Feng sat against a wall. On the surface, he appeared calm, but inside, he was in turmoil. After sitting like this for a while, he realized that the other person in the secret room was still lying naked on the ground.

The school uniform pants he had roughly torn off Ling Xiao had lost a button, and he didn’t know where it had rolled off to. It took Ying Feng much longer to put them back on Ling Xiao than it had taken to remove them, and throughout the process, he turned his face away, unwilling to look directly at the body he had brutally ravished.

Sitting back down, Ying Feng reflected on this absurd series of events: the unexpected appearance of the Kui, the unexpected appearance of Ember, a life that should have ended but didn’t. One event linked to the next, not allowing him a moment to think. Of course, he couldn’t have known that Ling Xiao had hidden his awakening, or that Zhu Yue had fanned the flames. He only blamed himself for insisting on participating in the field training despite knowing about the awakening; that decision was a mistake.

Ying Feng leaned weakly against the wall; his eyes tightly shut. Whenever he was disturbed, the walnut in his breast pocket would comfort him. However, when he reached for it again out of habit, his hand recoiled the moment it touched his coat.

He was no longer worthy of touching it.

He had lost forever the person he had been searching for years.

Ling Xiao, the new Qizi, showed no sign of waking, while Ying Feng, the new Qizhu, closed his eyes. The tight and pitch-black space returned to its silence.

In another part of the dark cave, a group of people stood still. The fledgling they had just rescued, even though scared to the point of instability, insisted on moving forward with them.

“We will search for the missing students, but you need to leave this place,” the principal said as he picked up Zhu Yue’s dagger to return it to him and arranged for the rescue team to escort him out.

“No,” Zhu Yue protested anxiously. “I want to go with you.”

“This place is too dangerous, with unknown hazards. We won’t allow a fledgling to stay here. The medic is outside the cave. He will safely escort you back to the academy.”

Despite Zhu Yue’s strong desire to stay, he was forcefully taken out. After he left, the principal turned to the instructor and asked, “How far are the other two from here?”

The instructor checked the tracking device. After all the students were evacuated, only three dots remained on the tablet. “Their last location is to the northwest, a distance away from here.”

Fu Yao took a glance and accurately pointed out the direction. “Aim this way and move on.”

The soldiers began their methodical work again, carefully clearing the obstructing rocks. The path ahead was blocked even more, and they often had to stop to clear the obstructions.

After repeating this process several times, someone from the front reported, “Major! There’s something!”

Everyone rushed forward. The first person who discovered the scene handed over the collected items to Fu Yao.

Everyone present recognized them. They were the wreckage of personal terminals, shattered beyond recognition, and a dagger broken in two.

The sinking feeling was inevitable. The people of Tianxiu leave no bodies behind. Every item they found could be a memento of the deceased. Judging from the damage to these items, the chances of their owners surviving were slim.

Fragments of the terminal were scattered everywhere, not just near the wall but also in the open. It was impossible to tell whether these fragments came from one or two devices.

“Is this where the signal was lost?” Fu Yao asked as he walked around the site.

The instructor double-checked before answering, “Yes.”

Fu Yao squatted down. “There are clear traces of a large creature passing through. The passage is too narrow for it. The stone walls show signs of damage due to heavy impact.”

He looked up. “The footprints stretched a long distance, indicating it was running fast. The direction of the dirt suggests it was running this way, likely chasing something.”

He stood up and pointed. “Where there’s a chase, there’s hope. Don’t give up, keep digging.”

Despite the availability of high-tech explosive weapons, they were of no use here. Fortunately, they had sharp tools. Stones in their path were broken into small pieces, and the shaking of the cave had stopped since then, indicating the danger might be over.

Yet, the more things seemed calm, the more worrying the reality underneath. The rescuers were torn between hoping to find clues and fearing they might find another broken dagger. With mixed emotions, they hurried forward.

Ying Feng sat quietly in the darkness until faint noises reached him from afar. His senses, including hearing, vision, and intuition, were all sharper than before. He would not have noticed such faint sounds a few hours earlier. Now, he could even distinguish different voices.

This was the difference between a fledgling and an adult—no, an adult who was a Qizhu.

If he could hear it, so could those on the other side of the rock wall. Picking up a small stone, Ying Feng aimed precisely in the direction of the sound and threw it. The stone ricocheted multiple times before losing momentum and falling to the ground.

Fu Yao suddenly stopped the sergeant’s action. “Stop!”

Everyone reflexively halted their movements, as if their leader was intently listening for something.

“Is anyone there?” Fu Yao called out louder.

The response was another faint knocking sound. Many present heard it this time. The principal’s brow furrowed deeply; aside from the panting of the people around, he heard nothing.

However, those who heard it showed expressions of pleasant surprise. Fu Yao’s tone shifted. “Push forward with all our might!”

The rescuers were invigorated, and their efficiency greatly increased. When the last obstacle was finally cleared, joyful shouts came from the front. “There are people! Two of them!”

Everyone, who had been bracing for the worst outcome, was lifted by the news. It was an outcome beyond their wildest dreams.

The principal quickly made his way to the front of the group. In the enclosed cavern, a person sat against the wall, head bowed. Their uniform was torn in several places, with patches of dried blood evident.

The condition of the other individual was even worse. Lying on the ground, eyes closed, they seemed barely alive. Their uniform was almost gone, and the pants seemed hastily put on. Their exposed skin bore suspicious marks. All present were adults and understood immediately what those marks meant.

Without a second thought, the principal quickly approached the seated person. As the man slowly lifted his head, their eyes met. The principal froze, staring intently at Ying Feng’s face, as if entranced.

This eerie moment seemed to last forever until Ying Feng finally broke the silence. “What’s the matter?”

Realizing his own distraction, the principal averted his eyes. “Nothing, how are you?”

Before their arrival, Ying Feng had rested for a long time. His robust body began healing minor injuries automatically, and his stamina had somewhat recovered during the prolonged wait.

“I’m fine.” He glanced at Ling Xiao lying on the ground. “You might want to check on him.”

Turning his head, the principal saw that Ling Xiao’s injuries were evidently more severe than Ying Feng’s. The accompanying medical personnel began providing immediate first aid. There was a swarm of people around him, leaving no room for others to step in.

Fu Yao was the last to enter the tight space, which became crowded with so many people.

As soon as he arrived, someone approached to report, “Major General, it’s a Kui.”

Fu Yao raised an eyebrow in surprise. Pushing through the crowd, he saw someone clearing the ground, revealing the almost mythical creature known as the Kui from ancient records.

The sight of the Kui’s brutal end was even shocking for seasoned warriors like them. Fu Yao’s gaze swept the surroundings, noting the missing limbs.

With the injured person unconscious, he naturally approached Ying Feng. Upon seeing him, Fu Yao’s expression displayed surprise, his gaze moving between the principal and Ying Feng, filled with speculation.

However, he quickly dismissed his suspicions.

“How did you manage this?” he asked with keen interest, looking at Ying Feng.

Ying Feng subtly directed his gaze elsewhere. Following his cue, Fu Yao spotted something unusual. He picked up a portable injector from the pile of sand and stones. The injector was nearly empty, with only a trace of an orange residue remaining.

“Interesting,” he mused, holding the device. “Take everything from here back with us. Leave nothing behind.”

The military rescue team expertly set up a stretcher, carefully placing Ling Xiao on it and covering him with a blanket.

“Can you stand?” the principal asked Ying Feng, hesitating to offer his hand.

Ying Feng gritted his teeth and stood up. As long as he was conscious, his pride wouldn’t allow anyone to assist him.

Noticing that Ying Feng didn’t need help, the principal hesitated briefly before removing his jacket and handing it to him.

The gesture caught Ying Feng off guard, but he accepted the principal’s offer. Despite this, he noticed something unusual about the principal.

“Principal, what happened to your hand?”

“Just a minor issue. It’s nothing.”

Downplaying the matter, the principal followed the military personnel, escorting the injured duo out of the cave. The corpse of the Kui was too massive, so some had to stay behind, looking for ways to transport it out.

The team doctor waiting anxiously outside was relieved to see the two students emerge—in his eyes, any physical injury was treatable, and being alive meant they were unharmed.

“What on earth happened inside?” He urgently asked as he approached. “Why did the cave collapse?”

“Three S-grade creatures appeared in the cave,” the principal briefly explained to him. “When they were discovered, a Kui’s body was also found.”

“A Kui?” The team doctor exclaimed in disbelief. “A corpse? Who did it?”

The principal turned his gaze to Ying Feng, who then looked at Ling Xiao on the stretcher. The answer was clear.

However, the team doctor didn’t follow the gaze, as one shock came after another. “Your eyes? You…?”

The principal patted him on the shoulder to calm him. “Don’t ask about other matters for now. The priority is to get them treated as soon as possible.”

“Ah? Oh…” It was only then that the team doctor remembered his primary duty. Just as he was about to instruct the others to lift Ling Xiao onto Bikong’s flying device, Fu Yao intervened.

“There’s an emergency medical station set up by the military nearby. We will take the students there for first aid.”

“That’s good…” The team doctor began to reply but was interrupted by the principal.

“The academy’s medical resources can handle this situation,” the principal stated decisively. “We can treat them back at the school.”

Fu Yao raised the syringe in his hand. “I’m afraid you won’t have a say this time,” he waved his hand, “Take them to the Burning Shadow.”

What the principal feared the most was this. The Burning Shadow was a battleship under Fu Yao’s command. Students from two junior colleges turned the tables on a Kui. The situation was suspicious, and the military would surely intervene. Although the academy’s medical expertise wasn’t as advanced as the military’s, the principal hoped to keep matters under the academy’s control. But now, it seemed that hope was shattered.

“I’ll go with you,” the principal compromised slightly.

Fu Yao didn’t object this time. “Suit yourself.”

As Fu Yao mentioned, the medical station was indeed close. Although it was just an emergency station, it had the most advanced medical equipment, capable of providing the best treatment for injured soldiers.

From the beginning, Ling Xiao had no idea where he was taken. Ying Feng followed the instructions of the medical staff and underwent a full health check-up.

“He has multiple external injuries, the most severe of which is a fracture. Fortunately, his internal organs aren’t damaged,” the medic in charge said to another person, looking at the test results. “However, 80% of the injuries are already healing on their own. His physical indicators are excellent. I haven’t seen such impressive data for many years. I think Major General Fu Yao will be pleased.”

“They accidentally completed the coming-of-age ceremony during their field practice. Both the Qizhu and the Qizi are exceptionally powerful in their juvenile state. Such a strong combination is rare. Such rare talents will definitely become a focus for the military in the future.”

“But there’s a significant risk with a strong bond.”

“You’re referring to the psychological quality of the loser? Indeed, if the Qizi cannot endure the chaotic period, the Qizhu will not develop fully. Even if they can enter the military academy, the lack of growth opportunities means they won’t progress in the military.”

“Ah.” The first person sighed. “I hope the others can pass through this period smoothly. It would be a pity if anything happened to such talented kids.”

“Major General,” one of them caught sight of Fu Yao entering and immediately stood up in salute, followed by the other.

Fu Yao, having just received treatment for his hand, returned the salute and approached. “What are the test results?”

The medical staff printed out the report. “Here’s the report.”

Fu Yao skimmed through. “Any abnormalities?”

“If I have to say…” The doctor hesitated. “His secretion of sex hormones is slightly high. But considering they just completed the coming-of-age ceremony, it’s possible.”

“Could this result be induced by hormonal imbalances in the other person?”

“Of course. He was previously an awakened juvenile, and hormonal instability is normal. It can easily be influenced by external factors, including fighting, intimacy, or even unintentional contact. Even if suppressants were administered beforehand, they would be ineffective. Major General, is there a problem with the other person?”

Fu Yao handed them another report. “This is the result from next door.”

Both immediately noticed the anomaly. “How can this be? This is strange.”

“You find it problematic too?”

“The level of sex hormones in his body is too high, far beyond the normal range. Even the hormone secretion during the coming-of-age ceremony shouldn’t be this high.”

“But the result you see is not the peak value. Because when this data was collected, his hormonal levels had already been suppressed. That means, when he truly lost control, the value would have been much higher.”

The two exchanged glances.

Fu Yao’s expression was enigmatic. “It seems only another report can tell us the truth.”

The third report arrived just in time, along with some fragments of unknown origin.

“We’ve checked the fragments scattered at the scene. They are pieces of a common medicinal spray container. However, there are no residues on them, so we can’t determine the contents of the medicine. Fortunately, there’s a label on the bottle.”

After saying this, he handed the pieced-together label to the medical personnel on-site to identify. The label was badly damaged, but the words on it were still vaguely visible.

“This is a suppressant spray used by fledglings during their awakening phase. It has the same ingredients as the injectable suppressant, but it’s used in emergencies. For a fledgling that has awakened, having this drug on them is quite common.”

Another person added, “This type of spray container is indeed common, but its material has its uniqueness. Any liquid medicine stored in such a container shares one characteristic: it’s highly unstable. If it’s exposed to the air over a large area, it will quickly evaporate and decompose. After a while, even the most precise instruments can’t detect its presence in the air.”

Fu Yao summarized their statements. “So, one person lost control for some reason and tried to forcefully take another person’s heart’s blood. The other person resisted, but unfortunately, the internal suppressant became ineffective during their scuffle. The bottle containing the suppressant spray was broken, and hormonal levels skyrocketed uncontrollably.”

“In a situation where escape was impossible, they were reluctantly dragged into the coming-of-age ceremony,” Fu Yao sneered. “It feels like a familiar plotline. I think I’ve heard it somewhere before.”

“But the question is,” the chief physician voiced his doubt, “Why did the first person suddenly lose control?”

“That’s what this report is going to tell us.” Fu Yao finally pulled out the report, directly scanning to the end where the test results were. A smirk appeared on his lips. “I guessed right. The syringe found at the scene was filled with Ember.”

“Ember?” The other two were shocked. “How could a fledgling possibly get their hands on Ember?”

“It’s not just Ember.” Fu Yao’s gaze pierced through the glass, resting directly on Ying Feng inside the transparent treatment chamber. “It’s Ember II, which even the military has banned.”
