<h4>Chapter 565 Exchange: Part 2</h4>


    “What’s your name.” Lin Sheng asked with interest. He appreciated people who knew where the wind blew and this person’s change of allegience would allow him to effectively master the entire Astral Mere’s organization in a short period of time.


    “I am Fu Yuanbo. At your service.” The middle-aged man suppressed his tion as he bowed slightly.


    “Then, you will follow me for this period of time. I want you to show me how do I predict the future, and to open the Psionic Gate,” Lin Sheng said.


    “As you will it.”


    It did not take Lin Sheng too long to deal with the Astral Mere. With an ambitious person like Fu Yuanbo’s defection, the Astral Mere’s secrets were pretty much not existant now.


    Many of the die-hards still loyal to the Wise King was executed by the defectors controlled by Lin Sheng.


    The rest were members that were willing to obey and dared not resist.


    And Fu Yuanbo started to be fully responsible for the prophecy ritual.


    Lin Sheng sat inside the Astral Mere’s blue tower, surrounded by an empty hall with only a fine blue circuits on the ground slowly emiting blue light.


    He may be looking like he was training, but in fact, he was chatting on the Spectral Light chat room while training.


    And in just a short few hours ago, a nickname that Lin Sheng had never seen before appeared in the chat room.


    “Hope, didn’t you say you wanted to leanr some basic fighting techniques thest time around? I havepiled a set here that may be suitable for you. You want it?” — Ascension.


    This person, called Ascension had already been chatting with Giving Hope and Purple Time for a while when Lin Sheng opened the chat interface.


    He then looked at the chat logs.


    The Ascension person seemed to be a mild-tempered, patient nice guy.


    And it seems like the world he is in had delved rather deeply into meleebat techniques


    Giving Hope had just wanted to learn differentbat techniques to improve her overall abilities.


    After asking around in the chat room for a bit, this Ascension person popped up. And what Lin Sheng noticed was that the variousbat materials Ascension had given to Giving Hope all required the aid of a warpaint-like thing that needed to be drawn on the arm.


    It seems like everytime the war paint is drawn, it will contain a runic script of unknown meaning.


    “Bro Ascension, can you tell me what’s the apex ofbat arts? Martial arts had been popr for a period of time here, but their development had not gotten any stronger or deeper.” Lin Sheng suddenly asked.


    “The apex? I personally think that is after perfecting the development of your strength and potential, and after that you could masterbat techniques forplicated situations, and this is probably the apex of a martial artist.” — Ascension.


    “Full potential? How does one consider to be full potentials?” — Holy Light Shines Upon You.


    “There are many things that can only be understood by sight and not just words, sadly I’m not able to sendplex images or else I would show you once myself, and you will understand it.” — Ascension.


    “That’s a real shame...” Lin Shengmented.


    His vision suddenly fell onto the Crystal of Prophecy in his hand.


    It seems like this thing would allow you to go anywhere as long as you know the coordinates.


    “If I couldbine this function with the Spectral Light...” Lin Sheng suddenly have an idea.


    He looked at the chatty crowd in the chat window.


    Suddenly, Giving Hope as she chatted, mentioned some weird happenings near where she lived.


    “Actually, I don’t really believe that these cases are true. But I have a BFF that told me that she saw a drunkard passing through her house was suddenly dragged into an alley and was never seen again.” — Giving Hope.


    “I remmeber that you mentioned thisst year. Like six people had disappeared in a row before it stopped? What’s wrong? The case was not resolved?” — Purple Time.


    “Yeah. The police said that the case was resolved, but the case seemed to have resurfaced. Clearly, they did not manage to arrest the culprit at all.” — Giving Hope.


    “Any case, you be careful. Avoid going out alone at night if possible.” — Purple Time.


    “Don’t worry. I’m pretty strong. I can take down most adults with just a few hits.” — Giving Hope.


    “Then would you want to give my warpaints a try? There are some warpaints that have the effect of exorcizing evil and avoiding misfortune. It’s just that the process a bit moreplicated.” — Ascension.


    Lin Sheng watched on as the person started to carefully teached a new warpaint to Giving Hope.


    From the picture sent by the person alone, he felt something was a bit off with the so-called warpaint.


    “Interesting... Ascension huh?” Lin Sheng closed his eyes and pondered, before suddenly typing a line into the chat box.


    “My current surroundings is also very dangerous? Can you teach me a defensive warpaint?” — Holy Light Shines Upon You.


    “Sure, we are all from the Spectral Light anyway. This is nothing.” — Ascension.


    “Thank you, thank you.” Lin Sheng responded quickly.


    Very soon, he had received the so-called defensive warpaint Ascension had sent him separately.


    For Lin Sheng who had deep knowledge of thenguage of power, had already created his own special scripts of power long ago, and at this moment, he could immediately replicate it and drew it on the ground.


    The moment he finished it, the warpaint with the shape of a wolf’s head suddenly vibrated and let out an almost imperceptible signal.


    “Sure enough.” With a thought, arge amout of protective wards appeared to iste its surrounding and intercepting the signal immediately.


    “This Ascension person... there’s also this hidden tracking equipment in the warpaint pattern that he gave Giving Hope. This guy is up to something sinister.”


    He then crushed the invisible signal with a wave of his hand.


    He then carefully inspected the warpaint’s system. This as a brand-new runic script application and that gave him a considerable amount of inspiration.


    And just as he was nning to design a simr but more powerful signal emblem, one of the Astral Mere defectors outside the tower walked in.


    “Sir, it’s ready.”


    “Where’s Fu Yuanbo? Lin Sheng stood up and walked calmly towards the door.


    “Mister Bo is already at proceeding with the final tests. Based on his speed, we could be able tomence the prediction once you arrive there.”


    Lin Sheng sorted himself out, as he destroyed the warpaint on the ground and walked out of the Blue Tower.


    Fu Yuanbo had already led his men to wait outside.


    The entire blue tower slowly emitted blue light as the six des at the top of it continued to spin, and a subtle white arc was vaguely flickering.


    “Sir.” Fu Yuanbo gestured for Lin Sheng to look up.


    “Look at the top of the tower, the entire Blue Tower is actually an extremely perfected prediction array. I just need to enter a designated programme into the system, and activate them one by one to get the results. It’s now up to you to decide what direction would you like to predict, and what keywords to use”


    “What direction huh?” Lin Sheng pondered. “Prediction keyword, Resolving the cktide.”


    “Alright.” Fu Yuanbo quickly recited a couple of activation chants, before asking everyone around to sprink fine silver dust from their hands.


    arge amount of dust flew with the wind, but at this moment, nobody minded it.


    Amidst hum-like chanting, the des of the Blue Tower seemed to rotate faster and faster.
