The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Wu You walked all the way to the spot where Wang Qi and Gongsun Baizhan were.

"Old Wu." Wang Qi had just stood up and was about to go to greet him.

Wu You also looked at him.

But to Wu You's surprise, when Wang Qi got up, he also turned his head slightly to avoid his gaze.

Moreover, not only that, when he turned to look at Gongsun Baizhan next to Wang Qi, Gongsun Baizhan also subconsciously avoided his gaze and dared not look him in the eye.

Wu You: ?

His brow furrowed slightly: What's wrong with him today? Does he look particularly frightening?

At this moment, Wang Qi rubbed his eyes, then turned his head and looked at the ground beside him: "Old Wu, why are you so...blinding today?"

Upon hearing this, Wu You froze, the starlight in her silver eyes also freezing: "Blinding? Me?"

His fingers unconsciously rose and touched his face.

There's nothing strange about it.

Wang Qi, who was tilting his head to the side, nodded: "Yeah. When I look at you, my eyes feel uncomfortable."

He rubbed his eye again with his fingers; the discomfort was probably not an illusion.

At this moment, Gongsun Baizhan echoed, "Chief."

"When I looked directly at you just now, my eyes felt a slight stinging sensation."

Wang Qi followed up on Gongsun Baizhan's words, saying, "That's right, I just glanced at you twice, and my eyes felt like they were being pricked with needles."

He paused at this point.

"hiss--"

"Old Wu, have you developed some weird new skill again?"

Wu You: ...

After listening to Wang Qi and Gongsun Baizhan's descriptions, Wu You finally understood why his colleagues had reacted so strangely.

However, a big question mark immediately appeared in his mind.

What does it mean that "your eyes will sting if you look directly at him"?

Has he become a visual hedgehog?

But that's not right. Everything was fine when we came back from Lanhe yesterday.

The people who saw him on the road and the helicopter pilot didn't do anything strange.

No one rubbed their eyes, no one turned their head, everything was normal.

So, this change only happened after he returned to the Jiuli base?

Wu You carefully recalled what had happened after returning yesterday: he first went to the deep dark domain to harvest a wave of corpse seeds.

Two Class A danger zones were cleared, and over five million experience points were gained.

However, even if all of the more than five million experience points obtained were allocated to the [Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter], it was still not enough to complete the fourth chapter.

He himself had not mastered the power of the silent sword intent.

Therefore, it shouldn't be caused by the [Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter].

After saying goodbye to Elder Wei, he returned to his residence.

Nothing unusual happened during the communication with Mr. Wei, and Mr. Wei did not notice anything abnormal.

Elder Wei was a True Yang Realm expert, so he couldn't possibly miss any unusual behavior on his part, but he said nothing.

That means that at that time, I didn't have this "it's an eyesore" trait.

So, did this change only occur after we returned to the courtyard?

Thinking of this, Wu You's silver eyes narrowed slightly.

After returning to the courtyard, he did two special things.

One step involved elevating consciousness to the spiritual dimension and then attempting a bestowal ceremony using the venerable name of "the Great One above the Nine Heavens, the Merciful and Supreme Deity."

He sent energy and information in response to the prayer of the believer named Erin.

The second thing was to make a kind of oath with the God of Beasts, promising to help Him once in the future.

Wu You couldn't help but wonder: Could it be because he borrowed that prestigious name and impersonated "the great one above the nine heavens, the benevolent supreme deity" that this change occurred in him?

But almost at the same time, Wu You thought of the time he traded and signed the oath with the God of Beasts in the cultivation room last night.

At that time, the God of Beasts seemed to have pulled out an unknown thing that could not be looked at directly from within His own body.

The light emitted by that thing filled the entire training room, and Wu You instinctively closed his eyes, his body and mind constantly warning him: Don't look! Don't look!

And isn't this change in him now, which stings the eyes of anyone who looks directly at him, just a weakened version of what happened last night?

So, the reason for this change is that he and the God of Beasts signed a vow under the witness of that unseen thing that resembles a "divine essence".

After the oath was made, part of that thing's "unbearable to look at" attribute was transferred to him.

However, Wu You wasn't entirely sure, since he had only spoken a few words next to that unsightly thing, and even the oath he signed had been completely blocked by the Sword Codex.

In this situation, why would a similar change occur in oneself?

Wu You really couldn't understand it.

At this moment, Wang Qi's voice rang out again, pulling Wu You back to reality:

"Don't just stand there, Lao Wu, have a seat."

"I've already ordered the food, I'm just waiting for you to arrive before serving it."

He tapped his hand twice on the table.

Wu You put aside the many guesses in his mind and sat down opposite the two of them.

But then, Wu You looked at Wang Qi, whose eyes were darting elsewhere and who dared not look him in the eye, and a new idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Then, he covered the lower half of his face with his hands and said to Wang Qi and the other man, "Now? Take another look and try again?"

Upon hearing this, both Wang Qi and Gongsun Baizhan turned to look at Wu You across the table.

The next moment, the two moved in a surprisingly synchronized manner: Wang Qi turned his neck to the left and Gongsun Baizhan turned his neck to the right. The two moved in different directions, but their rhythms were completely in sync.

Wang Qi rubbed his eyes and said hurriedly, "No, no, it still stings!"

"And now?" Wu You covered his entire face, including his eyes and the sword mark.

Wang Qi glanced at Wu You again before immediately looking away: "It still doesn't work, and it seems like it doesn't matter whether you cover your eyes or not. As long as you open your eyes and look directly at me, I get that feeling."

. . . . . .

After trying it out, Wu You finally figured it out.

This unsettling quality has nothing to do with the sword mark between his brows, his silver eyes, or any other specific part of his face.

No matter the angle or direction, as long as you open your eyes and look directly at him, you will feel a stinging sensation.

It's not that staring at it for too long will cause pain, nor is it that looking at a specific part of the body will cause pain. Rather, it's the act of "looking directly at it" itself that triggers that stinging pain!

In other words, he is now a visual hedgehog with no blind spots from any angle!

Wu You's lips twitched when he realized this: Was this to prevent him from seeing anyone?

He sighed and silently decided: when I get back, I'll go and question that guy with the golden eyes and cat ears!
