Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2109: Illusion Technique Upgrade
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
Ye Haochuan initially had no intention of lingering, but given the current circumstances, he felt compelled to see the Sky Hunting Association's supposed scheme through to the end.
After all, if the striking woman reneged on her promise and eliminated the two Kirin Beasts, he would remain oblivious.
"Speaking of which, Yinfeng, you mentioned acquiring a new skill after your evolution into the Thousand Illusion Kirin. What exactly is it?" Ye Haochuan inquired, his cultivation now stable, recalling Yinfeng's earlier statement with a surge of curiosity.
Yinfeng, who was assessing his remaining physical strength, adopted an air of mystery as he responded, "My newfound ability is, without a doubt, a rarity in this world..."
He then posed a question, "Do you possess any Phantom Techniques?"
"Naturally!" Ye Haochuan answered reflexively. "However, it's merely a Treasure-Level Mid-Stage technique, which offers limited effectiveness in present combat scenarios."
"Excellent!" Yinfeng declared with a knowing smile. "Now, attempt to utilize it once more!"
"Use it again?" Ye Haochuan's brow furrowed in confusion, yet he complied.
"Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal!"
Having performed the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal countless times, summoning it was second nature.
"Where are we? Why is everything around us darkening..." the Ice Jade Kirin beside them exclaimed in sudden distress, its voice laced with palpable fear.
"Is this for real?" Ye Haochuan couldn't help but express his surprise at the Ice Jade Kirin's extreme reaction.
With no other individuals present, Ye Haochuan instinctively directed the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal towards the Ice Jade Kirin.
Given the Ice Jade Kirin's cultivation level, a Treasure-Level Technique should have had no discernible effect whatsoever, yet its response was overwhelmingly intense.
"Of course, it's real!"
Yinfeng asserted with unwavering confidence, "Now that I have ascended to the Thousand Illusion Kirin, I naturally command certain specialized aptitudes within the domain of illusions. My particular ability allows me to amplify the potency of Phantom Techniques substantially!"
"That's absolutely incredible!" Ye Haochuan couldn't help but offer his praise.
He had harbored a persistent regret over his lack of Phantom Technique skills, and Yinfeng's newfound capability arrived precisely when needed most!
"And that's not the extent of it!"
Yinfeng proudly continued, "I also possess the capacity for physical transformation, termed the False Face Technique. I can alter my appearance to resemble anyone I desire."
"That's remarkably potent! Wouldn't that allow you to spy on a lady bathing without any risk of detection?" Ye Haochuan blurted out excitedly.
"Seriously, what sort of thoughts occupy your mind?"
Yinfeng retorted indignantly, "I possess such formidable abilities, and you would apply them to such base purposes? It's simply beyond comprehension!"
"The same ability can be wielded differently depending on the circumstances!" Ye Haochuan chuckled sheepishly.
Ye Haochuan had long harbored envy for the ability to alter one's appearance.
Within the legacy passed down to Fan Qingyin, such a skill was present. Regrettably, as it was an inherent legacy ability, it could not be transferred, leaving Ye Haochuan exceedingly frustrated.
Just as Ye Haochuan was preparing to experiment with the False Face Technique, the door was abruptly forced open.
The chamber Ye Haochuan occupied was adorned with opulent furnishings, and the door itself appeared to be constructed from substantial resources, its sturdiness evident.
Yet, even such a robust door was splintered into two pieces, a sight that evoked a sense of regret.
Standing just outside the threshold was a figure shrouded in a cloak, emanating an aura of palpable hostility.
"My apologies, I merely intended to knock, never anticipating the door's fragility!" A deep voice resonated from beneath the cloak.
*Knock, my foot! Who the hell knocks like that?*
Ye Haochuan inwardly cursed, but his countenance remained placid, a smile gracing his lips. "No matter, it's not my residence, so I feel no sorrow for its damage!"
"That's good to hear!" The cloaked individual's voice was even-toned. "I come with a humble request, and I trust you will grant it."
"Considering our current shared predicament, any request you have, please, do not hesitate to voice it!" Ye Haochuan replied with a smile.
"It is a minor matter!" The cloaked figure suddenly tilted their head backward, revealing a pair of emerald-glowing eyes from within the hood's depths. "Given that you struck me earlier, I simply request that you remain motionless for approximately ten minutes, allowing me to strike you in return. Is that agreeable?"
*What kind of preposterous request is this? It's clearly a blatant act of dominance!*
Ye Haochuan felt an expletive brewing at the tip of his tongue.
"I presume you will not decline?"
Before Ye Haochuan could offer a response, the cloaked figure continued, "After all, the Director is my father, and you are merely one of his subordinates. From any perspective, you ought not to refuse my request, correct?"
*Damn it, this is an outright coercion!*
Ye Haochuan cursed silently.
The hooded assailant apparently presumed Ye Haochuan would not retaliate, promptly revealing an iron rod as thick as a wrist and making a sweeping motion towards him.
"Is it because your father is in the True Immortal Realm that you believe you can act with impunity?" Ye Haochuan let out a soft scoff, his right hand clamping onto the other end of the iron rod like a vise.
Before the hooded figure could register what was happening, he was subjected to an immense force from the rod, causing him to stumble and fall towards Ye Haochuan.
A cold smile played on Ye Haochuan's lips as he inquired, "I truly wonder, what kind of anomaly are you?"
As he spoke, his hand moved towards the hood.
The hooded figure's peculiar conduct throughout had piqued Ye Haochuan's curiosity about his true identity.
Noticing Ye Haochuan's intent to remove his hood, the hooded figure clearly began to panic, desperately resorting to an attack technique in his desperation.
Fortunately, Ye Haochuan had been vigilant; otherwise, at such close proximity, he might have sustained injuries.
"How dare you! Knowing my father is the Director, and you still dare to treat me with such disrespect. Are you seeking death?" the hooded figure bellowed indignantly.
"To be precise, my relationship with your father isn't one of superiority and subordination, but rather a partnership. Should anything happen to me, my two companions here will undoubtedly self-destruct, taking me with them. In that scenario, you will gain nothing. Therefore, at least for the present moment, you shouldn't anticipate your father intervening on your behalf, understand?" Ye Haochuan stated calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Ice Jade Kirin and Yinfeng nodded in agreement.
This was no idle threat; they were currently aligned with Ye Haochuan, and if the Director's forces chose to harass Ye Haochuan, they would not hesitate to detonate themselves.
"You..." The hooded figure was rendered speechless.
Having always acted recklessly, this was the first instance he had been forced into a concession, leaving him profoundly displeased.
"My initial intention was not to torment you, but since you have presented yourself willingly, it would be a disservice not to give you a difficult time!"
Ye Haochuan flashed a cunning grin, and abruptly, a golden luminescence emanated from his eyes as he softly uttered: "Vermilion Bird Illusory Seal!"
The hooded figure's body visibly shuddered, and subsequently, his movements grew sluggish.
It's genuinely advantageous to possess illusionary techniques, hehe!
Ye Haochuan chuckled internally and, with a swift movement, removed the cloak from the hooded figure.
