Chapter 311: Chapter 255: Return to Blue Star

"..."

At this point, it seemed that there was no practical significance in continuing to struggle with Xiao Yi.

Although it was not certain that defeat was inevitable, both the Seventh Rule and the Fifth Rule were really at a loss to deal with Xiao Yi, and could only continue to drag things out.

Moreover, the actions of the Seventh Rule and the Fifth Rule undoubtedly violated the rules between them, and once their behavior was discovered by other entities, their failure would be inevitable.

No matter how you calculated it, it seemed that this matter could only end here.

They could not give Xiao Yi death.

"...so be it," the Seventh Rule concluded with some resignation and nodded in agreement, "If you truly do not intend to affect our plans, then I have no need to target you anymore."

"Good that you understand," Xiao Yi said.

"So..." the Fifth Rule asked the Seventh Rule, "Are we just giving up like this?"

"That’s right," the Seventh Rule replied, "Let’s go."

Without more words, knowing it was unnecessary to say anything more, both the Seventh Rule and the Fifth Rule understood the current situation and chose to leave, heading to a place unknown.

After their departure, the Seventh Rule took the initiative to admit to his violation of the rules and requested to be punished.

Even though his actions had failed, the fact that he had violated the rules was indeed true.

On this matter, the Seventh Rule was quite dutiful.

Furthermore, under the reasoned arguments of the Seventh Rule, the Fifth Rule, who had originally intended to be punished alongside him, was exempted from punishment.

But that was all on the other side of things and no need to talk any further about it.

Returning to Xiao Yi’s side, upon seeing the Seventh Rule and the Fifth Rule leave, he couldn’t help muttering,

"Really just leaving like that? Why not take me back with them, that’s so irresponsible... well, I guess I’ll have to make the trip back myself."

With that, Xiao Yi opened the passage back to Blue Star.

While returning to Blue Star, Xiao Yi also cleared himself of his [Philosopher] Power.

Although he could use this ability infinitely, it was ultimately an imposed power, not his own, and incomplete.

What is not yours will eventually be lost; forced possession will only lead to adverse consequences for oneself... this was not a prediction but an inevitable truth. Once the choice to force possession was made, it would inevitably occur.

Moreover, Xiao Yi felt that he no longer needed this power now and, for the foreseeable future, he wouldn’t need it anymore.

What’s not needed naturally doesn’t need to be kept.

Thus, the [Philosopher]’s Power disappeared once again.

But just before it vanished, Xiao Yi looked at himself and, for the first time, spoke with a hint of surprise.

"...Oh? It’s only now that I notice that I’ve undergone such a change. Whether it’s good or bad for me, honestly, I can’t guess at the moment." Xiao Yi smiled slightly, "But that’s good, adding more change to the future is never wrong, and... surely I wouldn’t harm myself, right?"

After speaking a bunch of enigmatic phrases, Xiao Yi’s deep eyes, which were like the vast starry sky, once again became clear with a touch of silliness.

"...Hmm? Hiss—Oh!!! Uh..."

With his normal faculties restored, Xiao Yi seriously contemplated the series of events that had transpired, trying to understand what happened, and emitted a range of strange sounds amidst his complex thoughts.

In Xiao Yi’s view, he seemed to be close to death before, beaten half-dead by two idiots who appeared out of nowhere and took action without any conversation.

Then, while he was half-dead, he experienced a sudden revival.

After the revival, he seemed to become very powerful, as if he had achieved a Unity of Heaven and Man, perceiving many things, and with just a few words, scared off those two fellows.

But with the crisis resolved, the Unity of Heaven and Man that he had in his moment of peril had also disappeared.

"So that’s it!" Xiao Yi felt he understood everything, "It must be the effect of adrenaline!"

Xiao Yi confidently declared, "I’ve always heard that in moments of crisis or injury, adrenaline is secreted, not only healing one’s injuries but also drastically improving physical fitness, achieving what was previously impossible, surpassing the inherent limits of the body! It must be that, no doubt about it!

And moreover, I had no idea adrenaline could also boost IQ; I’ve never heard of that before... Hiss—maybe this is a Nobel Prize-worthy discovery!"

Xiao Yi was certain that the transparent feeling of being able to easily see through the nature of all things was a result of increased IQ, only now lost because he was no longer in danger.

Furthermore, with the appearance of that feeling, a lot of mysterious and profound knowledge had been added to Xiao Yi’s brain, but the current Xiao Yi couldn’t comprehend any of it, and he guessed that he would probably forget it all soon.

"The human body is truly mysterious, hiding many magical powers," Xiao Yi couldn’t help but marvel.

Just then, Xiao Yi suddenly realized something else.

"...Hmm? The ring my mother gave me is gone?"

At that time, Xiao Yi had already been in a haze of consciousness, naturally unaware that the ring had been used as his lifesaver, and at this moment, it had of course disappeared.
