Chapter 1340 Gaining Extraordinary Abilities Again
Everyone was enjoying their meal, but Bai Jin's mind was still on the previous topic.

"President, I believe that there are very few things in this world that are truly unique. Are there really no people like Si Teng?"

Ma Qiuyang picked up the conversation and said, "Yes, I believe there are, but they are hard to find, extremely hard to find."

"What do you mean?" Platinum raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

Ma Qiuyang shook his head and said, "If you walked face to face with this Miss Si Teng on the street, what could you tell about her?"

Pan Qinian continued, "There's an old saying that goes, 'Chaos and strife are strange occurrences, while peace and prosperity are the essence of humanity.'"

"Sigh!" Guild Master Cang Hong sighed and said:

"Moreover, Si Teng wants to find someone like her, who has already taken human form, possesses profound supernatural abilities, and has been living in this world for no less than a hundred years!"

"But the hardest to find are precisely those who live in seclusion amidst the city!"

Platinum, holding a small fan, fanned himself and said:
"To digress a bit, in the past we dealt with the Kai tribe by punching, kicking, and using swords and axes."

"But now technology is so advanced, there are tons of guns, cannons, and tanks, and even nuclear weapons that can destroy the world!"

"If they are deterred by this and behave themselves, and do not cause trouble, then where are we supposed to find them?"

In a room not far away, Si Teng looked at the screen with a meaningful expression:

"These naive and unsuspecting young sleight of hand, how can they possibly fight me?"

At this moment, the tiled house on the screen looked at Yan Furui and asked, "Master, should we help that aunt find another friend?"

"Yes!" Yan Furui nodded in reply.

At this moment, Wafang asked a question that shocked everyone:

"But she's already so powerful. If we find another one, can we still beat her?"

Instantly, everyone stopped what they were doing. Yan Furui, seeing their solemn expressions, bowed and said:
"Children speak without thinking, children speak without thinking!"

In the monitoring room, Lin Hao watched Si Teng drawing eyebrows with a pencil and said somewhat speechlessly:

"Are you still putting on makeup? You're already beautiful enough. Besides, it's just the two of us here. Who are you trying to impress with your makeup?"

Upon hearing this, Si Teng suddenly stopped what she was doing, staring blankly at the decorations next to the mirror, and then said softly:
"Lin Hao, if someone does one thing, someone else will do another. The mantis stalks the cicada, but who knows if there's a mantis lurking behind?"

Lin Hao raised an eyebrow, realizing that Si Teng had noticed they were being monitored, so he pretended not to know and said, "You mean someone is also monitoring us?"

Si Teng didn't speak, but stared at a black solid about one cubic centimeter in size on the table, which was a pinhole camera.

Next door, Shen Yindeng knew she had been discovered and rushed out without hesitation.

At the same time, Lin Hao also came out. As he opened the door, he saw a beautiful woman walking out from next door. Who else could it be but Shen Yindeng?

Lin Hao nimbly chased after him and tackled him. Just as Lin Hao turned Shen Yindeng over, the other person suddenly stared at Lin Hao, a purple light flashing in his eyes.

Shen Yindeng is a member of the Crimson Umbrella clan, and her greatest skill is bewitching others. When Lin Hao saw her use her ability, he seized the opportunity to activate his solidification ability.

"Ding~, skill solidification in progress. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Memory Peeping skill!"

Memory spying: Spying on the memories of a person without their knowledge.

Lin Hao didn't have time to examine it carefully, and then continued to use his solidification skill.

"Ding~, skill solidification in progress. Congratulations, host, you have acquired the illusion skill!"

Illusion: When used on a target, the target will perceive the person designated by the host as the image specified in the host's memory.

Special Note: Illusion skills are compatible with Charm, Illusion, and Illusion Realm skills, and can greatly enhance the effects of Illusion skills. Do you want to fuse them?

Lin Hao didn't have time to examine the specific effects of the skill in detail, nor did he have time to consider whether to fuse it; he continued to solidify the skill.

"Ding~, skill is being solidified~!"

"Ding~, skill solidification failed, the target did not use any other abilities~!"

It's a pity that it wasn't integrated into other skills; it's probably because it wasn't used. Lin Hao was quite disappointed.

Shen Yindeng should have other skills. I remember Si Teng once used an ability that allowed him to trace back memories based on items the other person had used. That ability was simply incredible.

I don't know if this was something Shen Yindeng already had, or something Si Teng developed later. It seems we'll have to keep acting it out.

Seeing Lin Hao in a daze, Shen Yin and the others were unable to peek into Lin Hao's memories, and their illusionary spells also failed.

She guessed that it must have been Si Teng who left a backup plan on Lin Hao, otherwise such an ordinary person would definitely not be able to resist her illusion.

I never considered that Lin Hao might be an even more terrifying being than Si Teng.

However, she felt that his illusion was not entirely ineffective; at least Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, which gave her time to escape. So she immediately got up and ran outside.

Seeing this, Lin Hao didn't continue the pursuit, since he had already gotten what he wanted.

He then carefully examined the two abilities he had just acquired. Memory prying was self-explanatory; previously, he had used illusion and illusion skills to create illusions in the minds of others, allowing them to actively reveal corresponding memories and indirectly achieve the goal of viewing those memories.

However, this is only an ability attached to the illusion skill, and it is quite complicated to use. It involves repeatedly compiling memories to make the other party show them to you, which is far less direct than prying into memories.

As for the illusion skill, Lin Hao felt it was somewhat useless, because the effects of the illusion skill, the illusion realm skill, and the charm skill he later acquired were all more powerful than this illusion skill.

However, judging from the system's message, the fusion of charm, illusion, and illusion skills can greatly enhance the effects of illusion magic, which means that illusion magic must have its merits.

So Lin Hao immediately chose to merge, since merging didn't mean the original ability would disappear, and he definitely wanted to maximize the benefits.

Ding~ Congratulations, host! After absorbing and integrating the effects of charm, illusion, and illusion, your illusion skills have been greatly enhanced and merged into a new skill: Illusion Technique.

Realistic Illusion: Through cognitive modification and visual deception, it traps the target in a reality woven by the host, gradually replacing their original memories and cognition. The longer it lasts, the stronger the effect.

Special Note: If the target's mental strength is lower than the host's, the effect will remain effective. If the target's mental strength is higher than the host's, although it will still be effective for a short time, there is a risk that it will be detected.

"This skill!" Lin Hao was shocked, he hadn't expected the skill to be so powerful.

Now he understands why the illusion skill, though far less powerful than the other three, holds a dominant position; it seems to be because of its strong potential.

Previously, Lin Hao's skills, whether illusion, illusion, or charm skills, all had a limitation: the number of targets that could be targeted could not exceed the value of his mental energy.

At the same time, after the skill is used, the effect will gradually weaken over time until it takes effect. This is why it was rarely used before, and even if it was used, it was only for temporary use.

The True Illusion Technique has no limit on the number of targets it can use, nor on the time limit, as long as the target's mental strength is lower than its own. It can even replace the original perception.

"However!" Lin Hao sighed. Although the True Illusion Technique was unparalleled in its effect, it was actually used very rarely. After all, Lin Hao was now so powerful that he often didn't need to use such a powerful skill; he could solve the problem with a simple counterattack.

However, as the saying goes, having no sword in hand and having a sword but not using it are two different things. Who knows, one day you might encounter some powerful multiverse.

Back in his room, Si Teng was drinking tea from a teacup.

Seeing Lin Hao return alone, Si Teng raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? Didn't you catch him?"

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "No need, we'll meet again anyway!"

Considering the upcoming plot, it seems necessary to help Sito distinguish between friend and foe.

So Lin Hao solemnly reminded him, "By the way, does Platinum look familiar?"

Si Teng Feng frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with him?"

Lin Hao shook his head, saying with a hint of regret, "It seems you don't remember him!"

"What exactly do you mean?" Si Teng frowned even more, then pressed on:

"Why do I remember him? What is his relationship with me? In my memory, I should have never met him!"

Lin Hao smiled mysteriously and said, "Since you've forgotten, then forget it. You'll find out later."

"However, there is one thing I can tell you: besides me, Platinum can be trusted to a certain extent; at least he won't hurt you!"

Upon hearing this, Si Teng stared intently into Lin Hao's eyes and asked:
"He's from the Suspended Gate, so why wouldn't he hurt me? What do you know?"

"Hehe!" Lin Hao joked mysteriously, "I'm not telling you!"

"Lin Hao, you~!" Si Teng was furious. This guy would stop talking halfway through a sentence, it was really infuriating!

However, she soon fell into deep thought, realizing that Lin Hao would not speak without reason.

Lin Hao understood what he meant. He should know the person named Bai Jin, but he knew nothing about it. Why was that?
"Could it be that I forgot? But that shouldn't be the case?" — Si Teng fell into self-doubt.

After finishing their meal, the members of the Suspended Gate went to a nearby park and gathered around a stone table to begin their discussion.

Pan Qinian pointed to the vine-killing mark on his wrist and said, "Don't hesitate, you only have three days. What else can you do if you don't look for it?"

Ding Dacheng looked at him disdainfully: "Why are you so afraid of dying?"

Bai Jin gestured with his hand and said, "Everyone, let me summarize. There are two main points of contention in our argument just now."

"First, should we help Si Teng find people like her? Second, if we do, how should we help?"

Ma Qiuyang expressed his opinion: "I think it shouldn't have happened. Her excuse about being lonely is obviously just a lie!"

"The tile house may be small, but what you said makes sense. One is already so troublesome. If we help her find another one, the two of them will join forces and cause trouble. Will the people of Xuanmen even be able to live?"

Ding Dacheng picked at his ear and said arrogantly, "We can help Si Teng find him. Once we find him, we can catch them all in one fell swoop, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Catch them all in one fell swoop?" Pan Qinian curled his lip upon hearing this.
"Do you have that ability? It's easy for you to say, but none of us have ever faced her. Do you even know what she's capable of?"

Ding Dacheng thought about it and realized that they really couldn't beat them, since they couldn't even dispel a simple vine-killing spell.

But the boast had already been made, and it was too late to take it back, so he stubbornly said, "Can we not boost others' morale while diminishing our own?"

"We are a prestigious sect with a thousand-year history, full of hidden talents. I really don't believe that we don't have a master who can punish evil and uphold justice."

"Tch~!" Ma Qiuyang curled his lip in disdain, then turned his head away.

"Alright, alright, everyone quiet down, let me say a few words!" Seeing that everyone was arguing, President Cang Hong stepped forward.

Just then, Shen Yindeng, who had not attended the banquet, walked over.

President Cang Hong looked at Shen Yindeng and said, "Miss Shen, we have already met Si Teng."

Shen Yindeng nodded: "I know, I'm here too!"

"You're here too?" Everyone was puzzled.

Shen Yindeng nodded and continued to explain, "Si Teng is cunning and treacherous. We can't just do whatever she tells us to do!"

"So, I followed her in the shadows, hoping to find out exactly what she was up to!"

Bai Jin asked seriously, "So what exactly did you find out?"

“She didn’t say anything!” Shen Yindeng thought for a moment, then deliberately added, “However, I heard Lin Hao say something to him!”

"What did you say?" Everyone immediately became interested and looked at Shen Yindeng.

"That's exactly what you said~!" Shen Yindeng narrowed her eyes, paused for a moment, and then provoked, "Didn't you want to take revenge and endure hardship?"

Lin Hao didn't hear this, otherwise he would have slapped him for slandering him.

If Si Teng heard this, he would definitely absorb her demonic power.

Shen Yindeng's few words indeed drew a lot of hatred from Si Teng.

Upon hearing this, Ding Dacheng, that simpleton, immediately roared in anger:

"Did you hear that? What nonsense about 'what's past is past'? What does it mean to be magnanimous and reasonable? You shouldn't have believed her."

President Cang Hong sighed and said, "Miss Shen, what are your thoughts?"

"Dong dong dong~!"

Shen Yindeng didn't reply directly. Instead, she knelt on the grass and kowtowed several times to the group, then said in a resentful voice:

"Si Teng's grudge against Xuanmen is simply because she was tricked by Qiu Shan and suffered some hardships back then. But her grudge against my Xuanjian Cave is a real blood feud!"

Everyone frowned upon hearing this, somewhat puzzled. Aside from the matter of Shen Cuiqiao, what grudge could Si Teng possibly have against the Hanging Sword Cave?

So what if you injured Shen Cuiqiao and caused her early death? It's been generations, and you still haven't let it go?
Moreover, in the end, you can't blame them. You're going to kill them, so why shouldn't they be allowed to resist?

So what if someone injures you? Does that mean you have to submit to execution? There's no such thing as being so domineering in this world!

Bai Jin frowned slightly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart, but considering the other family's plight, he could only offer his advice:

"What happened to your ancestors was indeed unfortunate, but that was many years ago. Now that Si Teng doesn't want to delve into her personal grievances, why bring it up again?"
