Of course. If Wang Zhan really intended to expose them, what could they do? At worst, the two sisters would simply bear the whims of fate together.
Ouyang Sheng felt increasingly helpless.
However, Ouyang Yue's little face immediately brightened as she said, "I got it, Sister! Don't worry, if Wang Zhan disagrees, I'll knock him out and bring him back to work for us..."
Ouyang Sheng hesitated, her face turning slightly red. Work is work, but that kind of work... It doesn't seem appropriate to think about that now, does it?
As for Wang Zhan, ever since he stepped out of the hollowed-out hill, he could no longer hear their conversation. It must have been blocked by Ouyang Sheng's mental energy.
Thus, Wang Zhan became even more certain. I'm afraid that Ouyang Win back then was, in the final analysis, just an artificial persona created by the two of them!
Otherwise, why could Wang Zhan, who was merely at the Martial Master level back then, overhear their conversation and find their location?
But now, even though Wang Zhan's mental energy had reached a terrifying one million points, he couldn't hear a single word from inside.
This showed that when it came to the true stealth capabilities of mental energy, Ouyang Sheng's was far, far superior to Wang Zhan's.
At least, with Wang Zhan's current mental energy attributes, if he were to face a true powerhouse, he would reveal his flaws in an instant. This was because Wang Zhan had never had a clear understanding of the application and limits of his own mental energy.
Therefore, for his own safety, not only did he have to avoid appearing too monstrously talented in front of Martial Emperors, but he also had to be extremely cautious with everyone else, aside from those at the Martial Emperor level. And the premise for all this was that he was destined to continue lurking and hiding the majority of his strength. Then, he would use the mutated mental energy, enhanced by the System, to seal off his weaknesses as much as possible. It was like wearing layer upon layer of endless disguises.
Perhaps this was the thrill of being cautious!
However, compared to him, Ouyang Sheng's mental energy was much steadier and far more terrifying. Even she herself had experienced firsthand that despite being around her sister, who was destined to appear before many prominent figures, no one could see through her. Naturally, this mental energy brought her great comfort. At least she didn't have to be on tenterhooks like Wang Zhan. She didn't have to worry about strong Martial Emperors like Wei Daoming seeing through her repeatedly, discerning the strength she hid time and again. Nor did she have to fret that her secrets might be laid bare by a single encounter with a slightly stronger Martial King.
However, it now seemed that Martial King level cultivators could not see through Wang Zhan's strength. This also meant that Wang Zhan had not only grown into a predatory Giant Beast, but moreover, this Giant Beast's hide was covered by a harmless-looking sheepskin.
Of course, these were all digressions. For Wang Zhan right now, the most pressing matter was, of course, to thoroughly check his system attributes so as to grasp his own power more clearly and accurately.
Therefore, right then, Wang Zhan saw the brand-new changes on the attribute panel.
It showed:
Host: Wang Zhan
Origin Point: 2 (2/000++)
Essence Energy: 14,999++
Limit: 0
Strength: 13,850
Agility: 13,880
Physique: 13,900
Charm: 960
Wisdom: 2,400
Mental Power: 14,999++
Among them, the domain had completely disappeared, replaced by an Origin Point. Below the Origin Point, it resembled an infinitely repeating decimal, with only that small initial number remaining. It looked incredibly lonely!
As for his overall strength, he had reached the level of a level 3 Martial General. Compared to the level 1 Martial General he was before this absurd incident with Ouyang Sheng and her sister, he had directly advanced two ranks!
Wang Zhan pondered for a moment and somewhat understood. One rank was because, with Ouyang Yue's help, although it had slowed the explosive release of his mental energy, it had simultaneously increased the surging power deep within his mental energy sea, leading to a breakthrough!
As for the other rank, Wang Zhan was puzzled. Could it be that not only had the two sisters and he gained immense benefits from this affair, but he himself had also profited so greatly that he advanced another rank?
However, now that things had come to this, no matter how Wang Zhan thought about it, it was meaningless. The key was that he was like a complete novice, genuinely unable to understand the purpose of the first Origin Point or the two plus signs after it. That wasn't something his current realm could ponder or come into contact with. Wang Zhan didn't even dare to try lightly!
After all, leaving aside whether Ouyang Sheng harbored any ill intentions, Wang Zhan had been in the spotlight just a few days ago. Who knew if some powerful individual might coincidentally pass by this area, causing Wang Zhan's efforts to be all for naught?
But one thing Wang Zhan could confirm was that regardless of whether it was the Origin Point or the essence energy, they probably all shared a common origin or were interconnected. Even his mental power and essence energy, which appeared to have identical numerical values, were likely significantly related.
However, Wang Zhan understood very clearly regarding these changes to the System Panel. Wanting to truly understand the close relationship between these three attributes was likely no longer something he could achieve by working in isolation.
Perhaps, only by going far to the Star War Battlefield and sparring and exchanging knowledge with the young geniuses of the Beast Clan or Plant Race could he hope to fully grasp their true meaning!
However, immediately afterward, Wang Zhan gave a carefree laugh. Even if he went to the Star War Battlefield, so what? To truly make those individuals submit and ensure no information leaked out, the best choice Wang Zhan could make was to burn his bridges and eliminate all traces. But then again, if they knew they were going to die, how could they possibly open their hearts to Wang Zhan and hold nothing back?
So, this situation was extremely difficult for Wang Zhan!
Fortunately, with his recent advancement, and given the formidable explosive power of the "General Outline of the Supreme Pure Thunder," he didn't need to rely too heavily on the System for the time being. But this didn't prevent Wang Zhan from contemplating thoughtfully.
That fellow, Wang Yidao, had once said within the Federation that the current path of martial arts was wrong, and everyone would pay a heavy price for this erroneous way. In that case, this so-called 'Origin' I possess... could it be the correct path for the future?
After all, up to now, Wang Zhan hadn't seen anyone else like himself—a freak who could utilize the enemy's 'gifts' during battle and grow stronger the more he fought! Even the mad man, whom Wang Zhan had assigned to mine in the prison, didn't possess such an ability. Because, fundamentally, the mad man was still human. Being human, one would inevitably experience fatigue and, consequently, make mistakes.
However, Wang Zhan was different; he had the System! He even possessed a physical constitution—perhaps due to the System, or perhaps his own inherently strong physique—that made him nearly immune to energy replenishment within various tolerance limits! This meant that once Wang Zhan had sufficient replenishment, he might still fall, but before he did, he would absolutely become a terrifying war machine whose body never tired! And the reason the mad man had lost to Wang Zhan was fundamentally due to this.
While Wang Zhan was mulling over all this and gradually clarifying his thoughts, Ouyang Sheng, who still moved with some difficulty, though she appeared mostly normal on the surface, finally appeared before him. However, she didn't even look at him, merely facing the scenery before her, breathing deeply and seemingly intoxicated by it.
After a long time, she said casually, "We sisters have made a decision! Regarding the fact that you've guessed our true bloodline talent, we choose to let bygones be bygones. However, before that, you have to promise us one condition!"
It was as if she was completely unconcerned about what Wang Zhan had done earlier, as if it had never happened.
Of course, Wang Zhan, looking at her, also appeared calm and composed.
"You may speak," he said.
But only he himself knew that as Ouyang Sheng spoke, he was muttering inwardly, Anyway, you're the one proposing the condition, so I'm not taking advantage of you. If it's too unreasonable, just see if I agree!
After all, Wang Zhan had never been a foolish person. Having grown up by his mother's and sister's side, he had long been intimately familiar with the treacherous nature of people's hearts. So his way of handling this was: I can agree, but it must be within my limits and bottom line, and it can't be excessive. For instance, asking him to give up Yao Yao or Qin Ying. If she really said something like that, Wang Zhan wouldn't mock her, but he would turn around and leave!
At worst, I'll consider it a life-debt owed! The future is long; I can repay it sooner or later.
And considering the two sisters' current situation and experiences, Wang Zhan even felt that even if he were asked to repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring, it wouldn't actually be that difficult. Because innate conditions were irreversible.
However, seeing Wang Zhan actually agree, Ouyang Sheng inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that he agreed...
Afterward, she pondered her words for a moment. Only after considering her words carefully and feeling there was no major issue with her phrasing did she finally meet Wang Zhan's gaze.
Her expression was cold and she said very seriously, "Actually, it's not something difficult. We both believe this task is something you can easily accomplish..."
