Ximen Tiesuan was stunned for a long time, unable to react.
Sasa and the others did not disturb Ximen Tiesuan. After all, this was something Professor Ximen had researched for most of his life, and he was an authority in this area. Suddenly, a few youngsters came to tell him there were errors in his research. It's something hard for anyone to accept.
Fortunately, Ximen Tiesuan wasn't one of those stubborn old folks stuck in the past. After digesting the news for a moment, he composed himself.
"Just now you said... Yan Luo can fly?" Ximen Tiesuan looked at Yan Luo in disbelief.
In the ancient texts passed down the generations, there was no mention of the Saints among their ancestors being able to fly. To Ximen Tiesuan, 'Saints can't fly' was common knowledge.
Yan Luo answered in a muffled voice, "I can't fly yet. It was just during a fight with an enemy who used a zero-gravity field that reduced my weight significantly, allowing me to intersect my body's magnetic field with the Earth's, achieving the effect of flight. Actually, I can't fly at the moment."
"But that already counts as being able to fly." Ximen Tiesuan said eagerly, looking more anxious than Yan Luo himself.
Unable to contain himself, Ximen Tiesuan stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.
Sasa and the others could hear him muttering, saying things like "The Saint can actually fly" and "How can the Saint fly."
After a while, Ximen Tiesuan sat back down, looking at Yan Luo and Sasa, and asked, "What's going on here? Tell me clearly!"
So, Sasa shared her ideas.
The human body has a magnetic field, something that was not part of previous human knowledge.
People knew about geomagnetism and even used it to design compasses, but how could the human body have a magnetic field?
The point is, the human body does indeed have a magnetic field.
During human activities, bioelectricity constantly traverses the body. While these weak electric currents are insufficient to form a complete body magnetic field, they can form a rudimentary magnetic field.
Yan Luo's body functions are many times stronger than the average person, and the bioelectricity coursing through him can form a complete magnetic field.
Humans have the ability to sense magnetic fields. Yan Luo can use this ability to sense the presence of the Earth's magnetic field and even sense the direction of magnetic flow.
According to Sasa's idea, Yan Luo can use his own magnetic field to intersect with the Earth's, achieving the effect of flight.
Under normal circumstances, Yan Luo cannot fly because his magnetic field isn't strong enough to support his weight.
Once he becomes stronger, he will be able to fly.
Not by his own power but by leveraging the power of Blue Star, which for Yan Luo, results in almost no energy expenditure.
After listening to Sasa's explanation, Ximen Tiesuan was once again astounded.
"...Incredible, young people today are truly incredible."
After a while, Ximen Tiesuan couldn't help but express his admiration, looking at Sasa with eyes full of surprise, "I must have been constrained by past ideas; I never thought about these things! Right, the magnetic field of the human body is indeed one of humanity's inherent abilities. As long as this aspect is strengthened, flight can be achieved!"
Receiving Ximen Tiesuan's praise, Sasa smiled bashfully.
Then Sasa shared her hypothesis.
She believed that the strengthening of the Saint came from their own ideas. The Saint would strengthen a particular aspect after absorbing magic power based on what they believed was necessary.
This hypothesis had already been verified through Yan Luo.
Ximen Tiesuan, however, had not researched this area.
Because the ancient texts contained very few descriptions of the Saints, no one knew how they strengthened themselves.
"Young people are amazing; old folks like me could never imagine such things!" Ximen Tiesuan marveled again.
His thinking was limited by the past. Having read too many books and conducted too much research on the past, the knowledge in his mind became a constraint, preventing him from thinking about things beyond 'common sense.'
Sasa was different. She researched Abyss ecology and hadn't been exposed to the history related to Engravings and Saints.
Although Li Jiongming knew some things, he definitely wouldn't teach his students that knowledge.
As a result, Sasa had many whimsical ideas while studying Yan Luo's physique.
With this in mind, Ximen Tiesuan decided not to talk further about his research on the existence of 'Saints.'
They only needed to know the history of Engravings and Saints. Explaining his research on 'Saints' might actually restrict their thinking.
Ximen Tiesuan voiced his thoughts, and Sasa, who was previously happy, immediately hesitated.
They had come to Ximen Tiesuan precisely to learn more about the Saints from him to find ways to strengthen Yan Luo.
Now that Ximen Tiesuan decided not to share his research, was their visit in vain?
After thinking about it, Sasa took a deep breath, looked at Yan Luo, and said, "Yan Luo, I think Professor Ximen makes a valid point."
Yan Luo immediately affirmed Sasa's opinion, "Then let's not listen to it."
He trusted Sasa's judgment. Thanks to her help, he gained his current abilities.
If he had to think and strengthen himself, he wouldn't be as strong now and wouldn't have thought of using his magnetic field to fly.
With Yan Luo's response, Sasa breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and bowed to Ximen Tiesuan.
"Thank you, Professor Ximen, for taking the time to share that history with us despite your busy schedule!"
Yan Luo and Li Xinyue also stood up and bowed to Ximen Tiesuan.
Even though they didn't gain more methods to strengthen Yan Luo from this visit, learning so much about Blue Star's past was still a kind of gain.
At least, they felt closer to the truth of the world.
Ximen Tiesuan shook his head with a smile, "I should be thanking you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that Saints strengthen themselves through 'self-awareness,' and that Saints can actually fly."
Saying this, Ximen Tiesuan felt a bit emotional, gazed at Yan Luo, and said, "Yan Luo, when you become stronger in the future and can fly through your own power, I hope you'll come see me. That's the only wish this old man, who studied 'Saints' all his life, has left!"
"Alright." Yan Luo agreed without hesitation.
......
After leaving Ximen Tiesuan's house, Li Xinyue asked Yan Luo and Sasa while sitting in the car, "Do you want to go anywhere else?"
"Forget it, someone is waiting for me at the Crimson Abyss." Yan Luo shook his head.
Sasa added, "Celestial Sea City doesn't have any attractions for me; I'd rather go back and do experiments."
Li Xinyue pressed her lips together, feeling complicated.
The car started and slowly drove forward.
At this time, Li Xinyue said, "I won't be returning to Crimson No.2."
Upon hearing this, Yan Luo and Sasa looked at Li Xinyue.
Thinking back on the year spent at Crimson No.2 felt like a beautiful dream.
She gained a lot there.
Friends, power, and someone she liked.
Unfortunately, she had to inherit Bao Han Company and stay in Celestial Sea City, unable to return to Crimson No.2.
If she could, Li Xinyue would rather not inherit this position, allowing her grandfather to come back to life, she herself could continue being a carefree Hunter at Crimson No.2.
But she could not go back...
Sighing, Li Xinyue looked at Yan Luo and Sasa and softly said, "After this goodbye, who knows how many years it will be before we meet again."
She knew that Yan Luo and Sasa rarely left Crimson No.2, and even if they did, they wouldn't come to Celestial Sea City.
Travel between cities was very difficult. In the future, they might be more likely to meet online, and meeting in person could take a long time.
To this, Yan Luo didn't know what to say but only added, "Good luck, if you need help, feel free to call me."
Yan Luo rarely made promises, but when he did, he would give his all to fulfill them.
Upon hearing this, Li Xinyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to feel her inner stir.
A moment later, she seemed to have made up her mind, suddenly opened her eyes, got up, reached over, and took off Yan Luo's helmet, then leaned in with her lips in Sasa's shocked gaze.
But was blocked by Yan Luo raising his hand.
"Still so clueless," Li Xinyue rolled her eyes at Yan Luo and sat back down.
For some reason, she wore a happy smile.
