“Missing?!” Liu Lanqing was stunned.

It was too shocking for a person to turn into a jade statue. Lin Yan subconsciously hid it and slowly told the lie he had long fabricated.

He said that when he returned to her room in the afternoon and couldn't find his sister. Because of this, he even searched the entire Ding'an City crazily for a long time.

Previously, when he was walking aimlessly in Ding'an City, he had deliberately found some people to inquire about Xiaozhi's whereabouts, creating the illusion that Xiaozhi had gone missing and he was looking for her in a panic.

Including asking Liu Lanqing about the demons, it was also to find clues for his sister.

“No wonder you seemed to have lost your soul when 1 saw you just now… But she's a living person. How did she suddenly disappear?”

This matter was too bizarre. Even Liu Lanqing found it difficult to believe. She subconsciously felt that Lin Yan was lying to her.

But where could Lin Yan hide such a big person?

There were so many people in the inner city. As long as she casually investigated, she would know Lin Yan's route. He couldn't lie to her at all.

In the end, she could only comfort Lin Yan and let him go back first.

Lin Yan knew that Liu Lanqing must be suspicious, but he had no choice. He couldn't tell her the truth about Xiaozhi turning into a jade statue, right?

The next morning, Lin Yan had just woken up when he heard a commotion outside.

Pushing open the door, he saw Ling Shuangxue with a few people in the courtyard. Senior Sister Chen, Elder Xu, Xiao Lu, and the few people who lived here were all gathered in the courtyard.

Lin Yan frowned slightly and walked over. “Lord Ling, this is?”

Ling Shuangxue smiled faintly. “I heard that your sister has gone missing?”

Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged, revealing a hint of gloom. “How did Lord Ling know?”

“Someone told me. After all, you've worked for me for a period of time. When I heard that your sister was missing, I specially brought people here to investigate.”

Lin Yan knew that Ling Shuangxue seemed to be investigating his sister, but she was actually investigating him.

He put on a hopeful expression. “Thank you, Lord Ling!”

Ling Shuangxue stared at him for a while and waved her hand. The people around her entered one after another and began to investigate.

After a while, the few of them returned and shook their heads.

Only then did Ling Shuangxue reveal a trace of surprise on her face. “There's nothing outside, nor is there anything inside. She really disappeared into thin air…”

Lin Yan thought of the jade statue that Xiaozhi had transformed into and revealed a trace of disappointment.

Ling Shuangxue looked at Lin Yan deeply again. “You don't have to worry too much. Your sister has a big secret. Good people will be blessed by the heavens.”

“Thank you for your concern, Lord Ling.”

Ling Shuangxue could not find anything. She waved her hand and left with her men.

Lin Yan greeted Chen Yuan and Elder Xu and briefly told them about Xiaozhi's disappearance. He comforted Xiaozhi, who had been blaming herself and afraid, before returning to his room and closing the door again.

TWo days later, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief and went straight to the Demon Suppression Division.

Compared to last time, the Demon Suppression Division was much more lively, especially on the training ground outside. There were many new faces training.

Lin Yan took a closer look. They seemed to be genius seeds from various cities. The one who trained them was Wu Qinglei.

It seemed that the Demon Suppression Division had already begun to recruit new people.

Lin Yan and Wu Qinglei nodded in greeting from afar. Then he went straight to Liu Lanqing.

ii

Lin Yan, have you found your sister?”

Lin Yan shook his head.

Liu Lanqing's face slowly darkened. “A person actually disappeared so suddenly…”

She comforted Lin Yan.

Lin Yan said, “Issuer Liu, I'm here this time because my Phoenix Spear has already reached the essence level.”

“Alright! Follow me!”

Liu Lanqing was clearly in a much better mood. He led Lin Yan all the way to a martial arts hall at the side.

Liu Lanqing took out a portrait from somewhere and hung it on the wall. Then, she got Lin Yan to sit cross-legged and face the portrait.

In this painting, there was a bright and vigorous flame. It was orange-red and extremely bright, as if it was about to rise and spread out from the painting.

The color of this paint was clearly not something that could appear in Ding'an City.

“This picture is the visualization picture of the Explosive Flame.

“If you want to test your compatibility with this Explosive Flame, you have to cooperate with this visualization picture.”

Lin Yan nodded. “What should 1 do?”

“To achieve the Force Feature, you need to meet three conditions: state of mind, visualization, and Unusual Item.

“However, it's only a test. There's no need for Unusual Items. The requirements for mental state and visualization aren't high.

“Next, you need to adjust your state of mind and become angry.

“This Explosive Flame is an extremely explosive flame of anger. Therefore, the angrier you are, the better. It's best for you to lose your mind. Then, you can activate the power of Explosive Flame.”

Angry?

Lin Yan frowned slightly. He knew his personality and he had always been calm. In terms of anger, it was probably very difficult to match him.

“After adjusting your mental state, look at the flames on this picture and imagine your force burning and erupting like the flames on this visualization picture. I will use my force to cooperate and test your compatibility with the Explosive Flame.”

As she spoke, Liu Lanqing stretched out her finger, and a scarlet flame ignited on her fingertip.

Seeing Lin Yan's puzzled expression, Liu Lanqing explained, “To test the Force Feature, it has to be done by a Noble Realm that corresponds to the Force Feature.

“Although my Force Feature isn't Explosive Flame, it evolved from the foundation of Explosive Flame.

“If you can resonate with my Force Feature with the enhancement of your mental state and visualization, it means that you are compatible with Explosive Flame.”

Lin Yan nodded. In other words, to test the compatibility, he needed a Noble Realm expert who had already mastered this Force Feature or something similar to it.

He stopped thinking about it and sat on the ground, carefully recalling what made him angry.

The memories of his previous life were too far away. After coming to this world, there were many infuriating things. The time when Xiaozhi was targeted by human traffickers, the time when Xiaozhi turned into a jade statue when he was helpless…

Gradually, he put his mentality into that situation. At the same time, he connected many past memories in his mind. There were many infuriating memories in many fictions and movies…

Lin Yan subconsciously clenched his fists, and flames seemed to burn in his eyes.

Then, he watched the visualization picture in front of him and imagined his strength burning like a fire.

This visualization was much easier for him.

It was not only because he was born in the era of information explosion in his previous life that his thoughts became more open. It was also because of the Wondrous Tao Te Ching that his mental strength had increased completely. It was easy for him to visualize it.

“Keep it up!”

Liu Lanqing's voice sounded, and then a warm touch landed between Lin Yan's eyebrows.

Lin Yan felt a heat instantly spread to all parts of his body, like an invisible flame that instantly burned all over his body, as if it wanted to ignite his strength.

“Persevere for a while and continue to maintain your visualization and mental state!”

Lin Yan continued according to Liu Lanqing's instructions and lasted for a full half an hour. Liu Lanqing's finger suddenly moved away from Lin Yan's forehead. Lin Yan opened his eyes and slowly exhaled.

Liu Lanqing had a regretful expression. She shook her head and said, “No, your compatibility with Explosive Flame is less than 30%. Not to mention that it's extremely difficult to achieve the Force Feature, even if you succeed, the power will be greatly reduced.

ii

It's a pity that you're also not fated with this Explosive Flame. None of the old people in the Demon Suppression Division are compatible with it.

“I wonder which lucky person will get this precious Black Grade Force Feature.”

Lin Yan let out a long breath. He had already directed all his anger out just now.

Logically speaking, he was definitely angry enough. The problem was… his outburst?

Although he was angry, the angrier he was, the calmer he was. It was the kind of anger that was extremely deep and restrained.

Perhaps what Explosive Flame needed was pure anger that disregarded everything and lost all rationality?

This Force Feature was indeed not compatible with him.

Liu Lanqing patted Lin Yan's shoulder. “Don't be sad. Other than Explosive Flame, we also brought many other Force Features this time.

“If you can find a Force Feature that matches you well, the power you can unleash might not be much weaker than the Black Grade Force Feature.

“For example, although Xiaohui and Xiaopeng are also not compatible with the Explosive Flame, they have both chosen Force Features that are extremely suitable for them. Now, they are improving at lightning speed. They will break through to the Noble Realm in a few days.”

Lin Yan didn't have too many regrets. He already felt that he wasn't compatible with this Explosive Flame. Moreover, his Force Feature would probably still depend on his Formless Clone deduction in the end.

“Issuer Liu, can 1 exchange for other Force Features now?”

Liu Lanqing sighed slightly and took out a scroll. She handed it to Lin Yan. “There are also strong and weak Yellow Grade Force Features.

The Gloomy Wind, Heavy Mountain, and other features listed previously were actually the most ordinary Yellow Grade Force Features.

“Now, Bai Ling has brought many other Force Features. They're all marked on it. They're arranged according to the price. Take a look and choose.”

Lin Yan opened the scroll. The Force Feature column was indeed much longer. There were nearly 20 entries.

At first glance, he saw the first entry, Gloomy Wind. Lin Yan asked, “Issuer Liu, didn't this Gloomy Wind originally require three Great Merits to exchange for? Why can it be exchanged for one Great Merit now?”

“Things are different now. If I don't show some sincerity, how can I attract those genius seeds to join the Demon Suppression Division? However, the corresponding Unusual Items are still quite expensive.”

Lin Yan took a look. Indeed, the corresponding Unusual Items to the Force Features like Gloomy Wind were priced at four Great Merits. They were only one Great Merit cheaper than before.

It seemed that the Demon Suppression Division's idea was to use these Force Features as bait to attract those genius seeds to join. As for whether they could earn enough Great Merits to exchange for Unusual Items, that would depend on the abilities of those genius seeds..
