Chapter 178: Virtual State

"Sir, the dishes are here!"

The waiter rushed up. He didn't dare to be the least bit negligent in serving a big customer like Lin Xing. All the chefs of Zuitian Tower got together and cooked all the dishes as quickly as possible!

The fragrance was captivating, and the dishes looked delicious. Bi Yao sniffed hard, her delicate nose twitching. The expression of enjoyment on her pretty face was intense and lovely. She had completely forgotten about the argument with Lin Xing just now!

The middle-aged man weighed the wine cup in his hand, and a bold and unrestrained smile spread across his face. "You two are quite a match! Being unconventional, that's great!"

"Uncle has a good eye! We two are truly a perfect match made in heaven!" Lin Xing praised. Bi Yao kicked Lin Xing under the table again. Damn it! She had evolved from the "Deadly Finger" to the "Deadly Foot"!

While there was a "battle" under the table, everything remained calm above. Lin Xing picked up a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes, which was also one of the dishes he was best at. After all, Grandmaster Qingye had used it as an example when passing on his skills before his death.

"It's impolite not to reciprocate. Uncle, I'll also give you a dish!"

Holding the plate with his palm, a sense of the charm of fire rose from his hand. The intense heat made the oil in the shredded potatoes crackle, but the temperature was controlled within a very small range by Lin Xing.

Using his spiritual power, he adjusted the position of each strand of shredded potato and the amount of each drop of oil and salt. All the changes of the entire dish were completely under Lin Xing's control.

There were seven hundred and thirty-eight strands of shredded potatoes, each with seven hundred and thirty-eight different shapes and flavors.

In a short moment, Lin Xing's processing was completed. To outsiders, it just seemed that Lin Xing picked up the plate and then handed it to the middle-aged man.

"Here you are!"

An approving light flashed in the uncle's eyes, and he clapped his hands. "Good! Just based on your control of the heat, there are few people in the world who can match you!"

Taking the dish, the middle-aged uncle picked up a few strands of shredded potatoes and chewed them vigorously. The admiration in his eyes for Lin Xing became even stronger.

"Entering the Dao through cooking! I didn't expect that I would meet another person like you today! The various aspects of life, the Dao of Change! Among ordinary people, there is actually someone like you!"

Lin Xing looked at the uncle in surprise. This person was an extremely powerful master! When did so many powerful people appear in the world!

However, why did he call himself an ordinary person? That was really ridiculous!

Lin Xing looked at the uncle's face.

The crisscrossing lines were like intertwined threads, and the uncle's fate gradually emerged bit by bit —— but only a little bit!

It seemed to have some connection with himself!

But when he delved deeper, he couldn't see anything!

Lin Xing exerted more effort.

The principle of connection.

A faint and strange aura rose from Lin Xing's body. The middle-aged uncle's eyes instantly became as sharp as those of a falcon, and a trace of indistinct killing intent involuntarily leaked out.

He looked at Lin Xing with a frown, as if thinking about something.

"Where did you learn this physiognomy technique?"

The middle-aged man stared at Lin Xing, and there was even a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"From a Jianghu swindler named Zhou Yixian," Lin Xing blurted out without thinking. Suddenly, he shuddered and came back to his senses, looking at the middle-aged man.

Just now, he had been careless and actually been controlled!

He had spoken out involuntarily!

And it seemed that he couldn't see through the middle-aged man's fate.

"Are you also a time traveler?" Lin Xing, who had had several previous experiences, could already understand this possibility.

"What time travel? I've never heard of it!" The middle-aged man clenched his fists, with veins bulging, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"You're not a time traveler?"

Lin Xing found it a bit hard to understand.

Most of the powerful people he had met were time travelers. He hadn't expected to meet a powerful local person today. This was really rare!

There was an uncontrollable aura on the middle-aged man, as if it was about to burst out at any moment. He was holding it back with great effort and said word by word, "I thought this scoundrel was already dead. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!!"

The middle-aged man raised his head, and his aura suddenly shook. The surrounding air fluctuated violently, and the space was squeezed out into distorted traces, which were terrifying and appalling! The killing intent soared!

The middle-aged man laughed wildly, and the sound waves surged like waves, one after another. "Heaven still has eyes! It has given me the opportunity to avenge myself personally!"

Zuitian Tower seemed to be on the verge of collapsing at any moment! Bi Yao tightly grasped You Ji's hand and stared at the middle-aged man in horror.

"Uncle, what are you doing! Calm down!" Lin Xing's spiritual power rippled like water waves and spread throughout the entire Zuitian Tower. The powerful aura of the middle-aged man was controlled within the smallest possible range.

"Calm down? Why should I calm down! I want to kill someone, and who can stop me!" The surging aura of the middle-aged man kept rising, and Lin Xing also gradually increased his spiritual power. One was destroying, and the other was maintaining.

It was like two roaring dragons engaged in a fierce battle.

"Boom ——"

The killing intent on the uncle's body surged again. It seemed that relying solely on spiritual power for defense was no longer enough for Lin Xing.

Lin Xing suddenly remembered the feeling in that cup of wine.

A feeling of opposition and unity.

The artistic conceptions of water and fire!

At the moment when his spiritual power reached its peak and was on the verge of being unable to contain the uncle's momentum, Lin Xing's spiritual power suddenly entered a strange state.

It was both virtual and real, both existing and non-existing.

Suddenly, he understood some of the mysteries of the transformation between the virtual and the real! Breakthroughs could only be achieved at the limit!

The explosive momentum of the uncle was once again blocked by Lin Xing!

The spiritual power transformed into invisible water waves and invisible wind, vibrating. Lin Xing's spiritual power swept over the uncle's body, and he was suddenly shocked! He looked at the uncle in disbelief!

How could this be possible!

How could this be!

The uncle's body was actually in a "virtual" state!

That is to say, as long as he wanted to, he could ignore the walls and pass through them directly!

This was the same state as spiritual power!

Could this be a —— soul body?

"Who are you?"

Lin Xing locked onto the uncle with his spiritual power and asked.

The previously friendly atmosphere suddenly became tense, with the situation on the verge of breaking out.

The uncle's aura suddenly retracted and dissipated without a trace. He stared at Lin Xing's face. "Not bad, you have good aptitude! You've learned his things, so you deserve to die. But your temperament suits my taste, so you should live."

"I'll spare you this time. Next time, it won't be so easy!"

After saying that, he turned his head and looked towards the west. His profound gaze seemed to penetrate thousands of miles in an instant, reaching the depths of the inaccessible sky.

Lifting his foot, strange fluctuations emanated from the space around the middle-aged man, as if he would disappear from sight in the next second. Lin Xing was suddenly shocked. This was!!

"Wait a moment ——"

"Mind your own business!"

A powerful aura collided with Lin Xing. Lin Xing's mind raced, and he threw out a spell!

Close as a Fingertip, Far as the Horizon!

The step that the middle-aged man was about to take retracted. He turned his head and looked at Lin Xing. There was a hint of surprise in his sharp eyes. "You, you've learned this?"

Frowning, the middle-aged man seemed a bit puzzled. However, his attitude actually became a bit milder. "Zhou Yixian is not the main target, and he's not worth my action. You don't need to worry about that. There's no irreconcilable conflict between you and me, and I don't want to take your life for now! Of course, if you're bent on seeking death, that's another matter!"

The middle-aged man's momentum surged, and the space around him crackled.

Lin Xing thought so too. This guy, although moody, really didn't have a conflict of interest with himself. If they really fought, Lin Xing didn't have much confidence in winning.

He couldn't survive just with his soul like this guy.

"Then, who are you going to deal with?" Lin Xing suddenly became curious. Who was the person that made such a powerful person lose his composure? It seemed that this person was also related to Zhou Yixian?

The middle-aged man looked towards the west, his eyes narrowing into a thin line, and slowly said, "My former master, a self-righteous person!"

After saying that, he didn't look at Lin Xing again. He broke through the space and headed straight towards the west.

His momentum was resolute!
