My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 416 - 241: The Celestial Master Is Actually by My Side!?

As Chen Lusi rode the elevator down, he contemplated the words Xia Yue had just said.

Back then, he had witnessed the horse-faced man vanish before his eyes and knew the trouble wouldn’t end there.

But at that time, he truly had no better solution.

In those circumstances, without invoking the Celestial Punishment Weapon, neither he nor the Security Army could have possibly confronted the horse-faced man, even if flipping the entire Anomaly Realm.

Moreover, back then, Xia Yue hadn’t mentioned the hidden ability "believe you can do it" of his Authority "Giant Ant"... At the time, the only solution he saw was to use the Celestial Punishment Weapon.

Ultimately.

Even if he could alter the Illusion Dream of the view then, certain things were still limited by his knowledge.

Xia Yue and Ji Xin weren’t wrong; his own Tier was still too low.

Although his ability to gather Spirit often meant he needn’t worry about exhausting his Spiritual Power, it also made him subconsciously overlook his Tier, leading to a certain stagnation.

For instance, the Dharma Aspect like that of the horse-faced man—he couldn’t create one at his current level and, except for the Celestial Punishment Weapon, had no idea how to deal with it.

Thinking from another’s perspective.

Neither Xia Yue, Ji Xin, nor even Tang Language, would find themselves entirely helpless in such a situation.

So, fundamentally, he was not strong enough.

Stone... is it still capable of housing a soul?

Chen Lusi stared at the constantly changing elevator numbers, feeling the swirl of Spiritual Power at his chest, and drifted into thought.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about the leakage of the Celestial Punishment Weapon issue.

Just as he told Ji Xin... he didn’t want to take on too much responsibility.

And clearly, resolving such matters shouldn’t fall upon him; even if it’s closely related to him, being a nameless and ordinary member, any urgent actions should come from Ji Xin, Xia Yue, or the Security Army. He had no intention of intervening.

In plain terms——if the sky falls, let those who are taller hold it up.

And he was clearly not among those tall ones right now.

However...

There were certain responsibilities he absolutely had to bear.

Chen Lusi thought of the two sisters in swimsuits, smiling brightly before him last night, and exhaled slowly.

No matter what, since the matter with the Celestial Punishment Weapon started with him, the follow-up with the Talisman couldn’t entirely remain a secret.

The Celestial Strategy Mansion might protect him, but it wasn’t certain they would go all out to protect the sisters.

Even if they could.

Chen Lusi still wouldn’t be at ease.

Because they’re not somebody else’s... they’re his sisters.

So becoming stronger is necessary; although he had no grand ambition, he certainly had the responsibility and duty to protect those he should.

As for how to become stronger.

Stone is one aspect.

Talisman is another.

At the very least, the Summoning Talisman matter couldn’t be delayed.

No matter what, before Lin Wan’s school began, he had to find some time to head to the Imperial Capital to chat with Anna... At least, he needed to figure out how the Church System stored Techniques and see if he could seal his own Technique while directing the Summoning Talisman’s target to himself...

As Chen Lusi watched the changing floor numbers, his mind wandered further.

And inexplicably, he suddenly felt a bit restless.

This restlessness seemed to come out of nowhere, perhaps because he felt too weak at the moment, or because he didn’t know how to fully transform the embryonic shadow at his chest into a Stone, or because he wasn’t sure if the Talisman could successfully seal his Technique.

In any case.

He felt impatient and a surge of intense anxiety arose.

But this state didn’t last long.

Ding—

With the crisp chime of the elevator’s arrival, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Chen Lusi returned to his senses, calming instantly at the sight of Lin Ying and Lin Wan standing charmingly at the elevator door.

Ultimately.

His impatience stemmed from hearing about the leak of the Celestial Punishment Weapon from Xia Yue, understanding the impending situation, and feeling his own weakness.

And why he felt weak was primarily due to the sisters; he felt he wasn’t doing enough.

But when he saw the sisters were fine, he calmed down immediately.

"...Ah."

Lin Ying, holding a white cat, was surprised and let out a short, cute cry when she saw Chen Lusi appear: "I was just about to find you."

Lin Wan, hiding behind her sister due to the presence of others, didn’t speak and just winked at Chen Lusi, silently mouthing the word brother-in-law.

As for Xia Panqiu, Wu You, and Shan Li, they stood a bit further back.

"What’s wrong?"

Chen Lusi looked around at everyone, finally resting his gaze on Lin Ying’s elegant, charming face.

"Cat."

Lin Ying took a step forward and offered the cat in her arms to Chen Lusi: "You forgot it."

Chen Lusi stepped out of the elevator, instinctively taking it.

Lin Ying handed the cat to Chen Lusi and then took the opportunity to give his waist a gentle pinch.

Chen Lusi looked at her: "..."

But Lin Ying didn’t explain, quickly let go of Chen Lusi, glanced at Shan Li, and with Lin Wan, took over the elevator as she waved lightly to him.

"I’ll stroll through each floor’s lounge; come find us when you’re done."

Accompanied by the slow closing of the elevator doors,

the sisters’ figures disappeared.

Chen Lusi set down the cat, then turned to Shan Li, curiously asked: "What just happened?"

He knew Lin Ying well, something must have happened, or else she wouldn’t have acted directly.

"Nothing, it’s all Ji Xin Celestial Strategy’s order."

Shan Li paused, with a stern face said: "You can ask her."

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Chen Lusi was momentarily at a loss for words.
