In the gray space, there are only sporadic lights shining down from nowhere.
Under this light, the figures of several people can be vaguely seen.
Several people gathered here, some sitting and some standing, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
They were all wearing a pitch-black coat.
This coat was obviously not made of ordinary material. The piece at the end of the coat was constantly flowing like a dark stream.
At this moment, as if the waiting was too boring, someone asked in a hoarse voice, "The president specially gathered us together this time. It must be a big event, right? What do you think the mission will be this time?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
In the darkness, a figure wearing a strange crow mask sneered, "Apart from the upcoming World Duel City Tournament in Bird City, what else could it be that would require us to gather our forces and personally carry out this mission?"
Next to him, a beautiful woman with bright red lips and a slender waist also looked at the man with disdain. With a hint of laziness and sarcasm, she said, "Gopher, have you been stuck underground for too long? Has your thinking ability been buried in the ground along with you?"
The mole wasn't angry either. He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't get me wrong, Hongyou, I've thought of this as well. I just want to confirm further. If this mission is combined with the World Duel City Tournament, even we would have to bear a huge risk."
“What about the risks?”
This time, the voice came from a long-haired man. His long, unwashed black hair hung straight across his face. Through the gaps in his hair, his dark eyes locked onto the mole, an excited smile playing on his lips. "The higher the risk, the greater our reward. Perhaps through this opportunity, I can ascend to Master level!"
"Canglang, it's better not to fantasize too early."
An unusually burly man said in a deep voice, "This tournament involves Glory-level duelists from all over the world. Security will be extremely thorough. This is China's home turf. Even if we've long lost our sense of home and country, no one can deny China's strength, right?"
The smile on Canglang's face faded slightly, while the beautiful woman codenamed Hongyou spread her hands. "No matter how powerful you are, you can't give us what we want. In comparison, the Eternal Night Society has given us a chance at rebirth. Dashan, please stop spouting those disgusting words."
"Whatever you think."
Dashan said this and fell silent.
The atmosphere also became a little stagnant.
The mole then said, "Why bother arguing about this? The key is to think about how to deal with what's next. The competition will officially begin on July 1st, and the time left for us to prepare is very limited."
"When the president comes, there will naturally be a plan to implement."
Hongyou was too lazy to pay attention to the mole. She said something lazily and stopped talking.
The mole was a little helpless. He just wanted to lighten the atmosphere, but it seemed that he had failed.
But it doesn’t matter. After so many years in the Eternal Night Society, I’ve become accustomed to this depressing and dull atmosphere.
Although the members of the association belong to the same organization, the relationship between them is not close at all.
More importantly, they consider their own interests.
Even if there is cooperation, it is forced by the orders of superiors.
Such a cooperative relationship also requires sufficient benefits to maintain.
Of course, the deterrent power of the organization also facilitates cooperative relationships.
Anyone who dares to disobey or secretly trip others up will suffer a miserable end.
Based on this, even if many members of an association have different opinions, their actions must show a sense of unity of purpose!
The dark space was silent for a while.
Finally, there were slight footsteps approaching.
The five people who were waiting were immediately attracted and stood up quickly.
It is obvious that the identity of the person who came has a great deterrent effect on them!
Boom, boom!
The footsteps continued to approach until a certain moment, when they suddenly disappeared.
But the moment the footsteps disappeared, a person suddenly appeared in front of them.
The man was extremely tall, at least two meters tall, wearing a thick black coat and a beret on his head.
Dark smoke continued to drift from his entire body.
What was even more terrifying was that his face seemed to have turned into pitch-black smoke, with no facial features visible.
But at this moment, several people bowed respectfully and greeted, "President."
The man known as the president seemed to scan the group one by one. After a moment, he spoke in an electronic voice, "Everyone's here, so let's get straight to the mission. As you may have guessed, this mission is related to the upcoming World Duel City Tournament in Bird City."
Several people nodded in unison, it was indeed so!
The president continued, "This tournament will be open to talented Glory-level Duelists from around the world. I don't need to elaborate on how rich these people's souls are. If you can devour them, even just one, you will benefit greatly. If you can devour a few more, taking this opportunity to advance to the Master level isn't impossible!"
Master level!
When these words were spoken, everyone was extremely moved.
If they can really be promoted to the master level, their status in the association will not exceed that of the president, but given the president's strength, they will sooner or later work under that adult.
At that time, the vacant position of president might be inherited by one of them!
This is a position that everyone in the association would covet!
Only by becoming the president can you have the opportunity to follow that adult!
According to legend, the man who stood at the pinnacle of the dark world—
Mayixiu!
That gentleman was a man who was issued an 'ultimatum to be killed' by various countries, but he was still full of energy!
Therefore, the greatest wish of any dark duelist is to be able to enter Ma Yixiu's field of vision. Only in this way can their strength and status truly undergo a qualitative change.
Thinking of this, the eyes of several people became obviously hot.
The only relatively calm person was the man codenamed 'Dashan', who quickly raised a question: "President, once the competition officially begins, China will likely be very careful in deploying its security forces to ensure the orderly conduct of the competition. Given our situation, it might be difficult to infiltrate them."
"You don't need to worry about this."
The president said calmly, "Before you act, puppets will be delivered to you. You will merge into them and disguise yourself as contestants. This tournament has very few restrictions on participants. As long as you meet the dueling level, anyone can join in the fun. As long as you disguise yourself as a contestant and wait for the opportunity to strike, you won't be easily discovered. Even if you are discovered, it will only be after you succeed. At that time, the organization will prepare a retreat for you to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"That would be great."
Dashan finally couldn't hide the smile on his face. This opportunity was really great!
It is really possible for them to make a big leap forward because of this!
He was like this, and the others were even more excited.
"One more thing."
At this time, the president spoke again, "Regarding this competition, the organization has identified some excellent targets based on the information they have obtained. If you can find any of these targets, don't miss the opportunity! Devouring the soul of any of these targets may have an effect several times greater than that of ordinary targets!"
Any goals in mind?
Several people couldn't help but lick their lips excitedly, and soon, a dark magic power surged in front of them.
Then, a roster appeared for each of them.
The president pointed to the rosters and said, "Take a look. The rosters list high-quality targets. The further you go, the higher their priority, and the more delicious their souls become."
Everyone quickly flipped through the roster and looked at it.
I saw the first name on the first page of the roster was——
Lin You!
…
Black Source Courtyard.
laboratory.
Heiyuan was demonstrating the outline of the middle star spirit pattern to Lin You as usual.
I saw him using his spiritual power, his fingers constantly moving in the air, as if he was sketching a beautiful picture, his movements were elegant and coherent.
In this outline, a star spirit pattern is gradually taking shape on a card.
The entire process was flawless, and the fourth spiritual pattern was constantly being filled with spiritual power.
Hei Yuan didn't even look at it. Instead, he stared at Lin You and explained with ease, "The technique for outlining the middle star spirit pattern is actually not complicated. The key requirement for the psychic is to maintain a high-intensity spiritual power output. During this output process, the spiritual power is always at a high intensity and high position, just like a spiritual power car turning into a flying car. The real difficulty lies in maintaining the state of the spiritual power flying car."
As he spoke, he raised his hand ever so slightly and continued, "Did you see that? Just a slight deviation in angle can cause the car to nearly fall. At this point, if you want to remedy the situation, you need to promptly judge the injection and withdrawal of spiritual power. If you can make amends within a fraction of a second, the spiritual power car can still recover. Therefore, the tolerance for error when outlining the star spirit pattern is actually very high. The deeper the spiritual power, the higher the tolerance. You can even outline it with your eyes closed."
Lin You did not refute. He had heard these words countless times during this period.
The teacher is trying to show off in front of him on purpose, so why not give him face? Just obey and it will be fine.
Compared to these, the key is to watch the process of Black Source demonstration.
During this period, he actually tried to sketch many times.
Every time the car is running smoothly for a while, mistakes will happen uncontrollably.
Once a mistake occurs, in that short period of time, with Lin You's current experience, he will not be able to accurately judge how much spiritual power to inject or withdraw.
It’s not as easy as Heiyuan said!
The difficulty of outlining the star spirit pattern was far beyond Lin You's expectations.
Only then could he realize how powerful the psychic skills of a psychic master like Heiyuan were!
Little did they know that Heiyuan was speechless.
During this period, although Lin You was never able to successfully outline the middle star spirit pattern, he was making continuous progress in the process.
Maybe the speed of progress every day is not obvious.
But there is progress every day. Even the smallest progress will accumulate and become visible to the naked eye.
For example, when Lin You first drew the star spirit pattern, let alone providing a safety net, even maintaining the spiritual power flying car could not last more than a minute!
But now, just a few weeks later, this guy can last nearly ten minutes!
If he continues to improve like this, maybe he will be able to successfully outline the middle star spirit pattern before the competition!
Thinking back to the beginning, it took me more than a year to shape this star spirit pattern!
Heiyuan felt a little tired, but also proud from the bottom of his heart.
This disciple of mine is truly a natural psychic!
