Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 980 Viewing from Afar
Hearing her say that, Fang Yu felt it was inappropriate and shook his head: "Forget it, perhaps there really is something urgent. It's already late at night, and it would be inconvenient to go and ask rashly. Let's talk about it when we meet again tomorrow morning."

He paused, then suddenly remembered Ding Hui's invitation, and a hint of suspicion arose in his eyes. He looked at her and asked, "By the way, why did you specifically ask me to come to your room today? Could it be... that you've made some new breakthrough in your research on formations?"

He knew Ding Hui's passion for this all too well, and whenever he made a breakthrough, he always wanted to put it into practice on Ding Hui first.

However, recently, he has been busy traveling around, and Ding Hui seems to be immersed in several complex research projects at the same time, so the two have less contact. This has given him a rather "leisurely" period of time where he is not being used as a test subject.

Otherwise, according to Ding Hui's past habits, she would have tried new ideas and formations on him almost every day, constantly tinkering with him.

The root cause is that Fang Yu's physical body is too special and too "resilient". No matter how serious the injury, it can recover and heal itself at an astonishing speed.

No matter how domineering and cunning the methods employed, he always seems to be able to slowly absorb, adapt to, and even transform them.

This is simply the perfect experimental body that countless researchers dream of, born with the ability to create perfect experiments.

To some extent, Fang Yu himself did not fully realize the immense value and allure of his body to a research fanatic like Ding Hui.

If the secrets and characteristics of his physique were made public and presented to top doctors or researchers of strange phenomena, it would be enough to ignite a frenzied struggle and bloody battle.

But Ding Hui knew perfectly well what was going on.

Given the intensity of her research and the often unconventional and dangerous experimental methods she employed, an ordinary experimental subject would not have survived even a single day, let alone just one small experiment, which would have been enough to shatter their meridians and cause them to explode and die on the spot.

But Fang Yu always managed to get through it, and afterwards he would even reap considerable benefits.

Ding Hui was extremely satisfied with Fang Yu in this respect, regarding him as a priceless treasure.

Seeing that Fang Yu had asked, Ding Hui nodded, her excitement growing even stronger, and said, "I have indeed gained some new insights, which need to be verified through practice. Let's try it first. If everything goes smoothly, we might be able to successfully inscribe a new array on your body tonight."

As she spoke, she winked playfully, then suddenly stopped in her hurry to leave. Instead, she leaned closer to Fang Yu again and asked with great interest, "By the way, husband, if you had a choice, what type of array enhancement would you prefer?"

As she spoke, Ding Hui's body drew closer, almost touching Fang Yu's, her breath sweet as orchids.

Fang Yu was taken aback by her sudden approach and question, and subconsciously took a half step back, asking in surprise, "There's actually a choice?"

His curiosity was piqued.

"Of course, but that depends on what I have already mastered and what ingenious formations Lord Ouyang has recently taught me."

Ding Hui smiled mysteriously, then started counting on her fingers as if she were going to tell him carefully, "Let me count them out..."

However, after fiddling with her fingers, she finally held up only one slender finger and said with a grin, "Right now, the only one I've mastered and am confident I can inscribe into the human body is the 'Strength Enhancement Array,' which is a simple array that increases strength."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu was taken aback at first, then rolled his eyes and said irritably, "So after all that, there's still no choice? You made me look forward to it for nothing." His tone was tinged with a helpless teasing.

"Don't be in such a hurry, my love." Ding Hui chuckled, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and enthusiasm, like a child who had discovered a new toy.

"As long as this 'Power Enhancement Array' imprinting is successful and proves its feasibility, I will naturally delve into more powerful arrays! At that time, I will definitely try to imprint them all on you! Imagine the power of various arrays stacked on your body, that feeling of surging power and seemingly omnipotence, my husband will definitely love it very, very much! Hehehehe!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally couldn't help but giggle. Her laughter was crisp, but it carried a kind of researcher's unique, almost demonic fervor and obsession, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Fang Yu was speechless. The little bit of expectation in his heart vanished instantly, leaving only a strong premonition that "I'm going to be in trouble again."

He sighed in frustration, secretly praying that Ding Hui would be as gentle as possible when she did it.

As for refusing outright? That thought almost never truly crossed his mind.

Although Ding Hui sometimes gets carried away with her research and acts recklessly, often accompanied by indescribable pain or strange sensations, Fang Yu knows deep down that whatever she does is ultimately for his benefit, and the result will inevitably be of great advantage to him.

At most, you'll suffer a bit during the process, but the benefits afterward are real and substantial.

It can be said that without Ding Hui's tireless efforts to "transform" and "improve" him, he might not have achieved his current level of rapid progress.

However, Ding Hui's almost frenzied dedication to her research, which made him feel a bit apprehensive whenever he thought about it.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu sighed deeply, as if resigned to his fate, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible weariness and helplessness: "Let's go."

Having said that, he said no more and took the lead in walking outside.

Seeing this, Ding Hui's smile grew even brighter, like a child who had received a favorite candy.

She smiled and put her hands behind her back, her steps light and quick as a hop, and followed closely behind.

The two walked one after the other, their figures gradually disappearing around the corner of the corridor, heading towards the bedroom.

The lanterns under the eaves cast a soft glow, stretching their shadows long.

In the distance, behind a thick pillar, shadows flickered slightly. Linghu Xiang, who had returned, was quietly concealing herself in the darkness. She had witnessed every single detail of the two people's conversation, interaction, and their final, side-by-side departure...

Her usually bright and sharp eyes were now veiled in a complex shadow. Her small fists clenched slightly without her realizing it, her nails almost digging into her palms.

She closed her eyes and took a deep, almost greedy breath of the cold night air, trying to suppress the overwhelming bitterness and melancholy in her chest. In the end, it turned into a barely audible sigh filled with endless loneliness, and an indescribable emotion completely overwhelmed her heart.

……

Inside the organization, the atmosphere was heavy and somber, as if even the air had stopped flowing, leaving only a stagnant, chilling silence.

The eerie blue runes on the stone wall flickered like breathing, reflecting the strange shadows that stretched across the ground, adding to the mystery and oppression of this vast, underground base that never saw the light of day.

Mi Tu stood alone in the dimly lit central stone chamber, her posture upright yet revealing a subtle tension. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if shrouded in an impenetrable frost, her gaze fixed on the jade talisman in her palm, whose dim light was gradually fading.

That was an urgent order that had just been personally delivered by His Majesty in a top-secret manner.

The runes on the jade talisman had faded, but the message it carried stirred up a storm in her heart, making it impossible for her to look away.

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the cold, dark stone table unconsciously, without making a sound, yet revealing the extreme unease in her heart.

Those silent knocks seemed to strike the strings of her own heart, stirring up waves of emotion.

Tonight, everything was originally planned differently.

She was supposed to go out under the cover of night to that hidden stronghold in the west of the city for a secret meeting with Zhuge Shi that had been arranged long ago.

More importantly, she had planned to take this opportunity to "meet" the so-called "miracle doctor" whom Zhuge Shi almost blindly admired.

Thinking of this, Secret Rabbit couldn't help but curl a cold smile at the corner of her lips.

While the ancient seal on Zhuge Shi's body was indeed complex and difficult to break, requiring considerable time and effort, she believed it was by no means an unsolvable problem.

She had already shown Zhuge Shi that she was capable of solving the problem, but that she needed to wait patiently.

However, Zhuge Shi, being impatient, couldn't wait any longer.

In her view, this eagerness to seek outside help was tantamount to a blatant disregard and betrayal of her own abilities.

Who is Mi Tu? As one of the organization's twelve generals, and a key technical expert relied upon by the Venerable One, her pride and arrogance are ingrained in her very bones, and her talents give her unquestionable dignity and confidence.

If it weren't for a lingering, irrepressible curiosity in her heart, a desire to see for herself what kind of extraordinary skills the renowned Physician Ding, praised to the skies by Zhuge Shi, possessed, she would have disdained to agree to this three-way meeting.

But in this world, plans can never keep up with changes.

His Majesty's urgent order, issued without warning, came like a thunderbolt from the heavens, completely disrupting all plans.

The order was brief but brooked no disobedience. It not only required her to immediately cancel all plans to go out and stay at the organization's core, never leaving its side, but also mobilized several other combat experts stationed at the base, led by Shadow Monkey, ordering them to assemble immediately and head to the designated attack location.

Almost the instant the order arrived, the atmosphere in the entire underground base changed drastically, like a fully drawn bowstring suddenly taut to its limit.

The previously sparse guard force immediately more than doubled, and the entrances to the passageways flickered with eerie light. All the defensive formations were activated, and the patrolling slaves moved with heavy, orderly steps. Their cold metal bodies rubbed against the stone walls, producing a faint sound that made one's teeth ache.

A sense of impending doom silently permeated every inch of the air.

The order came very suddenly, but it was not without reason.

According to reports, a powerful demon of unknown origin has suddenly appeared in the capital city without warning, wreaking havoc in the bustling areas and causing huge chaos!

This even alarmed the Eight Great Masters of the Imperial Court, who would never act lightly!
Several powerful figures belonging to the Eight Meridians have been confirmed to have left their original posts and are rushing to the place where demons are causing chaos.

This is undoubtedly a golden opportunity!
Normally, the eight masters kept by the imperial court are all like nails driven into their respective positions, extremely vigilant and difficult to mobilize in the slightest.

Even if the organization has already planned to create an opportunity to restrain or even transfer them on a large scale, it still faces many difficulties.

Now, this opportunity has fallen into our laps out of nowhere!
This sudden demonic disturbance gave them an excellent opportunity to exploit.

Therefore, His Majesty made a decisive decision and initiated the hunting plan ahead of schedule!

This plan originally required the organization to actively invest a lot of resources, even at the cost of sacrificing some of its undercover agents, to create a sufficiently large chaos in order to achieve its goal.

But now, everything is different. Because of this sudden demon, this unexpected and massive disturbance, the court's attention has been greatly diverted, creating a rare vacuum in its defenses. The organization has gained such a brilliant opening without lifting a finger!
It can be said that they have the advantage of favorable timing, location, and popular support!
If this opportunity can be seized accurately, the originally fraught and dangerous situation may truly become twice as effective with half the effort, and achieve success in one fell swoop.

Of course, temporary changes may also bring unknown risks and variables, and the plan is ultimately not as polished and perfect as the original.

But since the target of this hunt has been raised to the level of a "prince", and the matter is of great importance, His Majesty is very likely to... take action personally!

The thought of that possibility made MiTu unconsciously tighten her fingertips, her cold nails almost digging into the soft skin of her palm, and her breathing even quickened slightly involuntarily.

She had been a member of this mysterious and powerful organization for quite some time, but had almost never had the chance to witness the Venerable One truly taking action against an enemy.

Regarding the Venerable One's strength, various vague and terrifying legends circulate within the organization, but no one can fully comprehend his abilities.

The only thing she was certain of was that the Venerable One was... extremely powerful!
So powerful that it completely surpassed her comprehension, as powerful as a bottomless abyss, immeasurable!

That absolute power, seemingly emanating from the depths of her soul, that inspired both awe and longing, was the main reason that drew her to dedicate herself to this cause back then!

To be honest, rather than staying here in the dark underground and guarding the rear, she longed to be on the front lines, even if it was just to be far away and carefully hidden on the edge of the battlefield, to witness firsthand the true power of the Venerable One, which was as thunderous and unpredictable as gods and demons.

What a breathtaking sight that would be!

However, she was also acutely aware that the level of this mission was far higher and the danger far exceeded that of ordinary missions.

Those who are not front-line combat personnel are simply unable to intervene, and do not even have the right to get close and observe.

Among the twelve generals of the organization, her role is more focused on technical research and logistical control, rather than direct combat.

Given her actual combat strength, if she were to rashly venture into that region that was about to become a battlefield, let alone participate in a direct battle, she might not even be able to withstand the slight aftershocks of a clash between powerful individuals.
