Chapter 67: Exfoliate (Seeking Monthly Votes, Recommendations, and Followers)_1

Translator: 549690339

Tang Yulou opened his eyes, the last second lingering in his mind was of a pocket watch maintaining a 20-degree tilt in mid-air; immediately after, he lost all consciousness.

After regaining his senses, he suddenly froze.

A sense of relief he had never felt before emerged in his heart.

This feeling was like being granted a new life. Although far from the truly healthy constitution he once had, the current state of reduced drowsiness was something he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Even medication had never achieved such a state.

He hurriedly got out of bed.

But he found that Tang Huoyang and that Classmate Xiao Pei had already left.

His young wife, on the other hand, looked at him with a face full of surprise, “Are you okay? You slept for a full ten hours today! You’ve been sleeping since I came back, and you didn’t wake up even when I called you, I thought something had happened to you, but thankfully the doctor said you were just in deep sleep.”

“Ten hours?” Tang Yulou was also stunned, reflecting on it.

That was even longer than the sleep induced by medication.

“When did you get home?”

“Around ten or so…” his wife thought for a moment and then replied.

Tang Yulou had gone to guide Tang Huoyang at a little past eight, so in fact, he had slept for 12 hours!

His heart shook violently.

It had been a long time since he had slept for so long.

Just then, a huge sense of hunger came from his stomach, and Tang Yulou, bracing himself, said, “By the way, where is Classmate Xiao Pei?”

“What Classmate Xiao Pei?” his wife asked, puzzled.

Tang Yulou remembered that when Tang Huoyang came over this morning, his wife just happened to be not at home. He immediately turned his head back and went into the room to dial Tang Huoyang’s phone.

“Huoyang, is your classmate there?”

“Uncle, you’re not telling me you’ve just woken up?” Tang Huoyang on the other end paused, incredulous, and checked the time—it was already evening.

“I did just wake up, and I feel as if I’ve been reborn. I’m not exaggerating, it’s been so long since I’ve felt like this… But how did your classmate do it?” Tang Yulou said, both excited and nervous.

Tang Huoyang laughed, “Old Pei knows a bit of hypnosis, and he’s from the Psychic Class… This morning I was still talking to him about this, and he said he hadn’t found the cause of your insomnia yet, but he would help you fall asleep and look for the cause at the same time. If he could cure the cause in one fell swoop, that would be best…”

Tang Yulou’s face lit up with joy, “That would be great, but it must have been a lot of trouble for him.”

Tang Huoyang chuckled, “Uncle, I’m not one to turn my back on family, but you didn’t see how exhausted Old Pei was after he helped you fall asleep; I couldn’t bear to watch.”

Tang Yulou was taken aback, musing, “You’re right, our Tang family can’t be stingy. He has done me such a big favor; I must thank him properly. Send me his account.”

“What about me, what about me?” Tang Huoyang immediately asked.

Tang Yulou couldn’t help but laugh, “Family doesn’t speak two languages. Ask Mr. Pei if he has time to eat with me tomorrow.”

Before he was just Classmate Xiao Pei, but now Tang Yulou had already changed how he addressed him.

Just for the fact that Pei Jinye had done what other famous doctors couldn’t, he deserved Tang Yulou’s respect.

He was curious, though… how exactly did Pei Jinye do it?

“An Awakener of the Psychic Class… It looks like Huoyang has made a friend with great potential this time.”

Behind the Bronze Association.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Huoyang found Pei Jinye, who was practicing Power Practice with stakes.

“Old Pei, my uncle has woken up and asked for your contact information, also report your bank account.”

“How is he doing now?” Pei Jinye turned his head and asked.

“Could not be doing any better…” Tang Huoyang said with a smile.

Pei Jinye nodded, “That’s the best. Forget the bank account, I did it casually, it’s not a big deal.”

“That’s not a big deal? You have no idea how many famous doctors couldn’t find any problem when they treated my uncle, he even sought experts from non-mainstream paths, but none were as effective as your hypnosis… I envy you Psychic Class people, shame I’m not one, otherwise I would have gotten rich by now.”

“Are you short on money?” Pei Jinye laughed.

Tang Huoyang chuckled, “Who would think they have enough money? But Old Pei, I’m serious. My uncle’s money is not to be taken lightly, don’t feel embarrassed. He’s he and I’m me, we keep our friendship separate from business.”

Seeing that Pei Jinye gave the account number, Tang Huoyang added, “My uncle wants to invite you to dinner tomorrow, are you free?”

“That’s fine, it’s time to show him.” Pei Jinye nodded, after so much time had passed, the Blood Spear should’ve digested this morning’s Devour.

It wasn’t long.

A series of dull thuds came from the hill behind.

Amidst the collision of fists and feet, dust flew in the air.

Tang Huoyang’s figure suddenly retreated a step. Looking at his red-swollen fist, he exclaimed in shock, “You’ve broken through to Exfoliate?”

Pei Jinye nodded.

Just now, at the peak of his Power Practice, he had suddenly pierced through that barrier and naturally stepped into Exfoliate, like pushing a boat along the current.

Tang Huoyang took in a cool breath, “Are you even human? The power you released in Exfoliate is more than twice as strong as mine! It’s infuriating how some people always seem to have it all!”

Yet the conversation took a turn, “What a pity that you’re from the Psychic Class, Teacher Chang would have cherished you enough to provide guidance himself if you’d been from the Body Technique System.”

He actually felt sorry for Pei Jinye’s Extraordinary Body System as well.

An Awakener of the Psychic Class with full-blown talent in Body Technique, it was somewhat incongruous.

Of course, nobody would say anything. After all, cultivating Body Technique was beneficial for strengthening the body and having some self-defensive Ability was not bad.

It’s just that everyone felt it was a pity… If Pei Jinye were from the Body Technique System, the power he could wield with these Techniques would be far greater!

Pei Jinye just smiled, “We’ll take it one step at a time.”

Tang Huoyang didn’t pursue the topic, “Shall we continue training later?”

“No more training. I’ve got a meeting with someone,” Pei Jinye shook his head.

Tang Huoyang immediately perked up with interest, “A guy or a girl?”

“A guy.”

“Damn!”

“Buzz off! It’s just a purchase.”

“Oh, oh, you scared me.”

Pei Jinye raised a finger signifying respect, before leaving the Bronze Association.

He had previously Devoured the Extraordinary Ability—[Metal Telekinesis]—from an Awakener from the Mask Association named White Knife.

It was an Extraordinary Ability that allowed control of metal within a certain range.

Belonging to the Psychic Class.

White Knife’s spiritual power was only a 7, hence the Telekinesis power was limited to just around his body, which was why he had practiced the Knife in Sleeve technique.

But Pei Jinye’s spiritual power had now broken past 10.

He had tried it. His current Telekinesis could control a range of about one meter, and the weight not exceeding three kilograms.

If he hid a little dagger on his person, that would certainly be a lethal move in close combat.

He had contacted this Artifact Refiner he found on the black market tonight; he couldn’t let people around him know about the Telekinesis or else he’d have a hard time explaining it.

He hadn’t found any Techniques related to Telekinesis.

So, he needed an excuse that could be revealed, but that didn’t prevent him from preparing some lethal Techniques for self-defense.

If it ever came to that, it would be a fight to the death, and then there would be no concern about exposure.

If the enemy died, there would naturally be no one left to expose anything to.

In the bustling streets.

Pei Jinye discreetly observed the crowd at the rowdy stalls.

He had already become another person altogether.

Clad in a black leather jacket, he quickly merged into the throng, unassuming and low-key.

Just two hours ago.

Pei Jinye’s bank deposit had received [Exactly Five Hundred Thousand]!
