Only My Way

After taking the seemingly unremarkable piece of metal in her hand and gently weighing it, Su Qingyue could immediately roughly estimate that this object, only the size of a palm, weighed at least as much as a spherical metal ball with a diameter of several hundred meters.

If this courtyard wasn't shrouded in an array barrier, and if she wasn't an extraordinary person, this thing, with its highly concentrated mass and density, could easily crush a towering mountain.

However.

Compared to the other characteristics of this thing, its weight was the least noteworthy.

After only a cursory glance.

Su Qingyue quickly discovered that within the perception of her own true essence, this thing didn't reveal any gaps at all.

It was as if this thing was a completely intact whole, rather than being constructed from countless microscopic particles like ordinary objects…

In this regard, although the path of cultivation in this world wasn't a technological one, as the strength of cultivators continuously increased, their ability to observe all things would naturally be correspondingly enhanced.

Therefore.

Even without any scientific education.

The high-level cultivators of this world still possessed a corresponding understanding of information at the microscopic level.

In this world.

This kind of thing was a part of evolution.

So, when Su Qingyue realized that the metal fragment in front of her was very unusual, her gaze suddenly became much more serious.

“…What peculiar metal…”

After reminiscing for a while, she said with a hint of nostalgia:

“In the past, although I've seen similar things, this metal fragment is far more perfect than that thing.”

“After all, with my current strength, even if I wasn't very serious, I could completely see through the flaws of that thing…”

For her.

Observing the microscopic structure of an object could essentially be understood as gaining the opportunity to observe the object's weaknesses.

As long as one could find the weak points through observation, it would be easier to completely destroy it.

Relatively speaking.

If one couldn't do that, one could only destroy it with brute force.

Compared to that.

That was undoubtedly a matter of achieving half the result with twice the effort.

Right now.

After confirming that she couldn't easily observe the actual structure of the target, Su Qingyue's palm slowly began to exert force.

She wanted to test the actual strength of the thing in her hand.

Soon, she discovered that she couldn't cause any damage to the target with just the basic strength of her physical body.

But this kind of thing was within her expectations.

Then, as she began to slowly use her own true essence, Ling Wuyuan, who was right next to her, immediately noticed that a massive amount of energy was frantically gathering at Su Qingyue's palm…

In front of that power.

He could very clearly feel a sense of threat, the kind of threat that was completely enough to kill him…

After a long time.

Su Qingyue finally released her palm.

At this moment.

Compared to its previous state.

The metal fragment had already shown some degree of deformation.

Clearly.

After getting serious, Su Qingyue had the ability to cause actual impact to it.

In terms of combat power alone.

Among all the experts of the same level she knew, there wasn't a single one who could steadily win against her.

However, after using about half of her power, she only caused a very slight destructive effect to the thing in her hand…

For a moment.

Su Qingyue was very curious and muttered:

“This thing is really a bit hard…”

Through the previous test.

She could tell that if she wanted to completely destroy the object in front of her relatively easily, she would probably need to use [Innate Divine Ability].

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

But this was just a fragment.

If the thing was complete and activated.

Whether she could cause damage to it was another matter.

Seeing that she was a little interested in this thing, without waiting for her to ask, Ling Wuyuan took the initiative to tell the truth:

“I picked this up from an ancient ruin that moves on its own…”

Hearing this, Su Qingyue immediately asked curiously:

“So…this metal fragment is the treasure carefully preserved by that ancient ruin?”

Although she didn't know the origin of the thing.

But after hearing Ling Wuyuan's words, many reveries immediately arose in her mind, feeling that this thing should be a fragment of some ancient secret treasure, and then was solemnly preserved by the owner of that ancient ruin, and then was accidentally obtained by Ling Wuyuan…

In short, in just a short time.

Su Qingyue had already imagined a story with a considerable length in her mind.

But what she didn't expect was that Ling Wuyuan directly shook his head and said:

“That's not the case.”

“This thing is just the basic building material of that ancient ruin… Uh~ its actual status should be a bit like the bricks used to build a house. In that ancient ruin, various metal fragments were scattered everywhere, and the one in your hand is one of the metal fragments I picked up at random.”

After saying that, Ling Wuyuan also took out a large pile of metal of the same material and handed it to Su Qingyue, while handing it over, he said: “If you are interested, you can take these metal fragments to study yourself…”

That was a very casual attitude.

Although he could also see that these things were very unusual, he did pick up a large pile of these things in that metal ruin, piled up at least a hundred meters high, so giving some to Su Qingyue wouldn't affect anything at all.

Looking at the pile of metal fragments that Ling Wuyuan handed over, Su Qingyue, who was originally still thinking about what kind of secret treasure the thing in her hand was, could only fall into silence, feeling a sense of shattered imagination.

After all this time, this thing was actually construction waste… She had been seriously thinking about what treasure this thing was just now.

It was really a waste of feelings.

Not romantic at all!!

However.

That being said.

She was still interested in the ancient ruin that Ling Wuyuan mentioned, and directly asked Ling Wuyuan about the situation there.

Regarding the relevant information, Ling Wuyuan didn't hide anything and chose to answer truthfully.

Before long.

Su Qingyue frowned and pondered:

“So, the metal puppets inside won't attack you?”

Ling Wuyuan didn't hide anything and directly said: “At least that's how it is when I don't enter those more important areas.”

“I feel… in their judgment, I'm a bit like some kind of neutral guy. Although they won't provide me with help, they won't attack me either.”
