Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 222 The Solution
"Do you have a way to wake Xiaofeng up?"

Inside the room, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both surprised.

At the same time, some people were still skeptical.

As Dugu Bo just explained, he only found out the reason why Chen Feng was unconscious by relying on the power of the soul bone.

However, since he was not a Soul Master specializing in spirit, he could not solve Chen Feng's problems. Just like no matter how skilled an executioner is, he does not have the ability to perform brain surgery.

Now Gu Yueling claims she has a solution, which makes Ning and Zhu instinctively somewhat skeptical, because judging from past experience, Gu Yueling is not a spirit-type soul master.

It's somewhat absurd for someone who punches others to claim they can solve mental health issues.

You can't rely on brute force to create miracles and fix Chen Feng's brain with your fists, can you?
"Why don't you tell me your plan first?" Although Ning Rongrong thought it was unreliable, she still decided to listen.

However, whether or not to adopt it is another matter.

Gu Yueling could naturally see the two girls' suspicions, but she didn't care and walked to Chen Feng's bedside on her own.

"As I said before, Chen Feng should have been affected by the illusion. It is very strange that the effect has not been eliminated even though the caster is dead. But in the final analysis, the illusion technique still needs to confuse the judgment, mind and even memory of the target in order to be effective."

"In other words, if you want to pull someone out of an illusion, making them realize that they are in an illusion is a very effective way."

"You mean we should keep calling out to Xiaofeng in his ear?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Gu Yueling shook her head. "Simply calling him probably won't work, but you can try. My method is more straightforward: we can have someone enter Chen Feng's mind and awaken his consciousness there."

"Is this even possible?" Ning Rongrong asked incredulously. "Even Senior Dugu could only make a simple assessment of Xiao Feng's condition, let alone directly enter his mind."

“Of course, some skills are needed. You should remember the soul bone we found earlier, right? It was a soul bone with spiritual attributes, and it came from the person Chen Feng killed. Now Chen Feng is unconscious due to that person's illusion. So this soul bone can be used as a medium to allow people to enter the illusion that Chen Feng is currently trapped in,” Gu Yueling said with a smile.

"That sounds... kind of reasonable. So, do you know this technique?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"of course."

"Then I'll go get the soul bone for you."

“No, you misunderstand. The one who should absorb that soul bone is not me,” Gu Yueling said, shaking her head at Ning Rongrong. “It is you.”

"Why do I?"

“I’ve seen it before. It’s a gem-like soul bone. Among all of us, you are the most suitable person to absorb this soul bone. Therefore, you are also the most suitable person to awaken Chen Feng from the illusion.”

"But I don't know anything about mental techniques," Ning Rongrong said, somewhat embarrassed.

"I will teach you. In addition, during the time you are learning, we can also observe Chen Feng's condition. If he can wake up on his own, that would be the best." Gu Yueling said, looking at Chen Feng on the bed.

She actually had some doubts. Logically speaking, illusions should dissipate after the caster dies. So, since Chen Feng killed the person who attacked him, he shouldn't be in this state now.

Unless the person who attacked him wasn't completely dead, but that's impossible. The pile of broken ice earlier was enough to prove that someone broken like that couldn't possibly still be alive.

In other words, she sealed her Eye of Destiny in order to transform into a human ahead of time, thus losing her mental abilities. Otherwise, Gu Yueling really wanted to go and see for herself what kind of illusion could trap Chen Feng.

"Speaking of which, you don't seem to have any mental abilities, do you? How do you know these skills?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

“My family has a tradition in this area, so I’ve been learning it since I was a child. Also, my third soul skill is actually a mental skill, but I just didn’t continue to develop it in that direction,” Gu Yueling replied.

"So that's how it is." Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, but neither of them pressed for further questions.

Among the eleven members of the Hydra team, Gu Yueling's family background is the most mysterious. No one knows where she comes from, only that her family seems to have a long history and possesses some little-known knowledge.

Faced with this situation, everyone unanimously chose not to pry too much, because family background was not important in this team. What mattered was their individual abilities and personalities. Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who came from humble backgrounds, could still have fun with everyone.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing could even say that they never consider the family background of their friends, since none of them are as good as them anyway.

"By the way, if I'm going to wake up Xiaofeng, is there anything I should be careful about?" Ning Rongrong asked again.

Gu Yueling pondered for a moment, then said:

"As I said before, illusion works by disrupting the judgment, mind and memory of the victim, especially memory. People trapped in illusion are likely to have memory problems. If Chen Feng still remembers you, it's not a big problem, but if he has forgotten you, then your primary task is to gain Chen Feng's trust in order to possibly awaken him."

"In addition, since Chen Feng is trapped in the illusion, that illusion must be the scene he is most familiar with, so you need to learn about this and make preparations in advance."

Ning Rongrong understood Gu Yueling's meaning, and after thinking for a moment, said:
“If it’s a scene that Xiao Feng is familiar with, then it’s probably in the sect or at school. I’m very familiar with both of those places.”

“But don’t forget, Xiaofeng lived in Nottingham for several years before, so it’s probably a more familiar place for him,” Zhu Zhuqing reminded him.

"We can ask Tang San and Xiao Wu for help to find out about Xiao Feng's situation in Notting City," Ning Rongrong said after thinking for a moment. "Also, I wanted to ask, if Xiao Feng's memories might be affected by illusion magic, won't I be affected in the same way after I go in?"

“It’s not a big problem,” Gu Yueling said. “Illusions are specific to a particular type of magic. The illusion that can affect Chen Feng may not affect you. Moreover, we can use some methods to prevent it. As long as we find someone who is skilled in illusions, we can ensure that you will not be disturbed after entering Chen Feng’s mind.”

"Is it you?" Ning Rongrong asked.

“No, I’m talking about other people, or more accurately, not even people,” Gu Yueling said.

"Not considered human?" Ning Rongrong was puzzled at first, then her face showed a look of realization.

"Are you talking about formlessness?"

Gu Yueling nodded. "That's right. The Illusion Tree also has the ability to create illusions. It can ensure that you are not disturbed by other factors during the process of awakening Chen Feng."

“In that case, I have no problem,” Ning Rongrong said.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Gu Yueling thought for a moment and said:
“While Rongrong is learning the mental connection technique, take good care of Chenfeng. You can also try calling out to him to see if it will have any effect.” “I understand,” Zhu Zhuqing said.

And so, Ning Rongrong began her preparations to enter the spirit of Chen Feng.

First is the soul bone. This isn't too difficult. Now that the soul bone manufacturing technology has been developed, although soul bones are still considered precious items for the students of the academy, they are not that important anymore.

Not to mention that this was all to awaken Chen Feng, and given the relationship between Ning Rongrong and Chen Feng, no one would say anything about it.

Moreover, just as Gu Yueling said, that soul bone belongs to the gem category, and among the people in the academy, only Ning Rongrong is most suitable to absorb it.

Then there are the techniques of mental power, which are a bit difficult. Ning Rongrong studied with Gu Yueling for two days, but still didn't get the hang of it.

This is partly because it was her first time working in this field, and she was not very familiar with it.

On the other hand, she still held onto hope that Chen Feng would wake up on his own.

However, Chen Feng's situation did not change until the start of the third round of the competition.

"Our opponent this round is Canghui Academy?" Tang San asked, frowning as he looked at Grandmaster.

“Yes, Canghui Academy. If the draw was indeed orchestrated by the Spirit Hall, as we suspect, then the person who attacked Xiao Feng was probably Shi Nian. He must have known early on that our next opponent would be us, which is why he attacked Xiao Feng. I even think that his target wasn't just Xiao Feng; he was just killed in the attack.” Grandmaster’s expression was also somewhat grim.

"Hmph, then all we need to do next is see if the Canghui Academy's team leader is still there during the competition, and we'll be able to determine if it's this bastard causing trouble," Dai Mubai said, arms crossed.

"So how should we adjust our personnel for this match?" Oscar asked.

Tang San lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a while before saying:
"Let Xiao Wu fill Xiao Feng's gap."

“But her fourth spirit ring is also ten thousand years old. Wouldn’t it be too conspicuous to use it?” Oscar was a little worried.

They attracted an attack from villains simply by revealing three ten-thousand-year spirit rings. If others knew that they had more than three ten-thousand-year spirit rings, who knows what other insidious tricks awaited them.

"It was bound to happen sooner or later, and Xiao Wu might not even need to take action. I'm having her go just as a precaution," Tang San said.

"Little sister, do you think Canghui Academy still has tricks up its sleeve?" the master asked.

"They must have something to rely on to dare to treat us as opponents. Otherwise, if the gap between the two sides were too large, they wouldn't have had much reason to attack Xiao Feng." In Tang San's mind, it was almost certain that the person who attacked Xiao Feng was the teacher leading the team from Canghui Academy.

Therefore, he believed that Cang Hui still had other methods, and in Cang Hui's view, these methods would definitely give him a high chance of winning the game.

If Xiao Wu were to appear, she and Tang San could form the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine. Even if the team were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties, Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine would still have the ability to save the day.

This martial soul fusion skill isn't just for single-target healing; it can also heal Tang Hao's long-standing hidden injuries. Giving his teammates a group recovery during a match wouldn't be difficult either.

As long as Tang San and Xiao Wu don't fall down first, it's fine.

Their survival abilities are among the best in the entire team. One has an extremely strong recovery ability when there is light or ground, while the other has the divine skill of invincible invulnerability.

Aside from Chen Feng's shameless Reincarnation Technique, no one could stop Tang San and Xiao Wu's Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Grandmaster Tang San's considerations were ultimately approved, and he agreed to send Xiao Wu along to ensure a safer outcome.

Although the combination of Xiao Wu and the word "steady" seems somewhat abstract.

Soon, the third round of the competition began.

Before the match, many people were speculating whether the Hydra Academy team would use their ten-thousand-year soul skill, or whether anyone could force them to use their ten-thousand-year soul skill.

There were even betting odds for this, and a certain Mr. Four-Eyed Cat-Owl, who wished to remain anonymous, also participated in it, but he didn't invest too many Gold Soul Coins because he wasn't sure if Canghui had any powerful methods.

On the stage, Tang San stared expressionlessly at the seven people opposite him. He had already noticed that the teacher leading the Canghui Academy team had not shown up before this round of the competition.

This is a very unusual situation, and it speaks volumes.

On the VIP platform, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, glanced at Salas in front of her without leaving a trace, and then focused her attention on the competition stage.

In the past two days, she has had it confirmed that Shi Nian, the teacher in charge of the Canghui Academy team, has indeed disappeared.

The two sides facing off on the stage now have confirmed that Hydra Academy's suspicions about the Spirit Hall were correct; the Spirit Hall did indeed rig the draw.

Qian Renxue was very annoyed by this matter.

It wasn't that she had any competitive spirit, but rather that she felt this approach was too ugly.

As the organizer of this Soul Master Competition, if you use some tricks or manipulate the draws a little, as long as it's not too serious, no one will investigate too deeply.

Ultimately, no matter how the draw is arranged, the winner of the competition will still be determined on the stage, based on the strength of both sides.

However, sending assassins after signing the document is going too far.

Especially regarding assassinating someone like Chen Feng, putting aside Qian Renxue's high regard for him, from the perspective of the Spirit Hall's interests alone, assassinating Chen Feng is something that should not be done.

If a genius scholar like him, capable of changing the times, were to die at the hands of the Spirit Hall and the truth were to come out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The reputation of the Spirit Hall will be greatly damaged, and its image in the eyes of the Spirit Masters will plummet.

Of course, Qian Renxue also knew that Salas probably didn't know Chen Feng's identity; he was just habitually unscrupulous.

So she plans to send someone to have a proper talk with Salas later.

This Chen Feng is the person she has set her sights on.
