Gao Changze's strange behavior angered the conjoined girl, who said displeased, "Is this your attitude towards academic exchange?"
"Sorry, give me two more minutes, I'm almost done with the introduction," Gao Changze gestured for her to stop, then swiftly finished his advertisement with his glib tongue.
The Jidu University student lying on the ground could no longer bear it. He was no longer dizzy or weak, and stood up shouting angrily, "For heaven's sake, just attack already!"
If they didn't attack soon, the girl would recover and rest.
"What's the difference between attacking earlier or later?" Gao Changze's smile faded as he calmly said, "Her twin sister is resting. The superpower energy you've expended is practically nothing."
The girl didn't deny it. "We are one. We've shared a body since birth."
All the university students on the scene who hadn't completely passed out sat up in shock.
"Damn, no wonder it's taken so long. She's not tired at all."
"Haven't I been wasting my efforts?"
"Ah, isn't this cheating?"
The girl seemed to anticipate what they wanted to say and spoke to the translator.
The translator relayed her message to everyone: "If you can symbiose like us, I welcome you to join me on stage."
Qi Yuan, hearing this, turned to Minister Cai beside him and asked, "I wasn't listening carefully earlier. What's her situation?"
"Conjoined twins. They probably used superpowers or surgery to separate, and one of them has some kind of symbiosis or parasitic ability. Now they're forcibly counting as one person."
He immediately understood. Whether it was one person or two was entirely up to her, wasn't it?
However, such cases were extremely rare and not easy to replicate.
First, they had to be conjoined twins. Then, both consciousnesses needed to awaken superpowers, and one of them had to awaken a symbiosis or parasitic-type superpower.
He quietly opened his reconstruction vision and looked at the girl on stage.
If he didn't know the answer beforehand, the sisters' auras were so perfectly merged that they seemed like one person. If Qi Yuan had scanned casually, he might have missed the anomaly.
It wasn't the same as Yin Qingran parasitizing Gao Changze, but there were some similarities.
The battle between Gao Changze and the girl began amidst the crowd's discussions, with everyone cheering for Gao Changze.
The girl didn't dare to underestimate Gao Changze and cautiously retreated into a defensive stance.
"Be careful, someone who can see through our symbiotic state is not to be taken lightly."
"I know."
With their tacit understanding, no more words were needed.
The girl immediately launched a mental attack, spreading outward in wave form.
As she expected, it had no effect on Gao Changze.
But she quickly felt her heart sink as her sister, in their symbiotic state, noticed more and relayed the information to her.
"He withstood our attack without increasing his superpower defense!"
"Leave the arena, he's an A-level superhuman!"
The girl hurriedly retreated, wanting to create distance and raise her hand in surrender.
But Gao Changze, deeply disgusted by her cheating, had no intention of letting her go.
Your method of cheating is so similar to mine, aren't you just exposing my secret?
As Qi Yuan had thought, the battle ended quickly. Yin Qingran, as an external aid, had no other flaws except being life-threatening.
Through his reconstruction vision, when Gao Changze borrowed Yin Qingran's power, he clearly saw green patterns embedding into Gao Changze's skin, constantly drawing his blood.
The more power he borrowed, the more violently it was extracted.
This was also why Gao Changze chose to advertise at the beginning - he wasn't sure if he'd have the chance later.
After a moment of silence, the watching Jidu University students erupted in cheers that nearly lifted the roof.
The howls and screams penetrated the venue, making even their side noisy.
"Didn't you say earlier that he wasn't your subordinate?"
Minister Cai came to her senses. Her reflexes, formed from years of work, made her first think about poaching talent.
Qi Yuan understood immediately. "If you're interested, you can approach him. I have no objections."
"Oh, hehe." Minister Cai's smile stiffened a bit. She added, "I assisted with the pillar project for a while and developed the bad habit of wanting to learn more when I see good talent."
"How could I poach your subordinates? Besides, I'm not in charge of the pillar project anymore."
Please poach them away sooner...
Qi Yuan saw through her insincerity. "I can't make use of them. Usually, they're left to fend for themselves in the team, and I don't even know if they're training hard."
"How can that be?" Minister Cai immediately protested.
Qi Yuan looked at her expectantly, hoping she would drop her pretense like Director Yu and start poaching directly.
"I'll arrange for them to attend Jidu University as day students. They can come to the school to study when they have time."
Can't you just poach them directly?
Qi Yuan was about to push further when the clamor and noise grew louder, drowning out their conversation.
The sound seemed to be coming from inside the box.
"This isn't right, he's not even a student!" Smith excitedly stood up on the scene and said to Yu Anhe, "He just said he's at the Ying Superpower Affairs Office."
Their translators began to work, conveying the meaning between them.
"That's a part-time job." Yu Anhe calmly sipped his tea. Now that the situation had reversed, it was his turn to be composed.
Smith argued, "How can there be high-level superhumans still in school?"
Even in the Five Major Countries, it would be impossible to waste resources. High-level superhumans had no need to languish in school.
"If he wants to go to school, what can I do?" Yu Anhe raised his eyebrows slightly. "After all, his team captain graduated at S-level, maybe he's thinking the same way."
"How can there be such a ridiculous thing?" Smith suspected Yu Anhe was taking advantage of their inability to verify information and was just brushing him off. "Who is his team captain?"
Yu Anhe patted his shoulder, gesturing for him to calm down, and said sincerely, "Qi Yuan, surely you've heard of him? He graduated this year. You can easily find this information online."
"..."
All the Bitford people fell silent collectively.
Check? How to check?
This must be a conspiracy by the Long Kingdom people, right?
"What's wrong? Don't worry, just check." Yu Anhe was very confident about this. Su Ke had made a big publicity push when Qi Yuan graduated, so a simple keyword search would definitely bring up the information.
Mentioning Qi Yuan seemed to flip a switch in Smith's mind between illusion and reality.
He felt a chill rise and blurted out, "How can you prove that everything we're seeing isn't an illusion created by Qi Yuan?"
Huh?
Qi Yuan, standing outside the door, stopped his motion to push it open.
How did he get dragged into this?
Yu Anhe was also stunned by the question. His mind spun for several seconds before he finally realized why this guy had been off all day.
Well, well, he really hadn't realized the devastating effect an indistinguishable illusion could have on non-allies.
