Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Battlefield Deduction

As if aware of Lin Ji’s confusion, the system promptly provided a detailed explanation.

[Target: Qin Yao, Talent: A-grade · Molten Heart.]

[Status Analysis: This target’s physical constitution cannot withstand the violent energy brought by the A-grade talent, resulting in internal fire poison attacking the heart and damaging the nerves.

Both spirit and body are on the verge of an extremely unstable rampage, with the risk of bodily explosion at any moment, hence exhibiting an extremely insane and morbid state.]

[Key to Resolution: The special skill the host has synchronously acquired—[D-grade · Yin-Yang Harmony]!]

[This skill not only provides dual cultivation benefits but also possesses a strong effect of energy neutralization and guidance.]

[If the host can find an opportunity to use [Yin-Yang Harmony] on this woman, it will not only perfectly resolve the fatal fire poison within her body but may even help her break through her bottleneck.]

[System Deduction: If this woman learns that the host possesses such a life-saving divine skill, there is an 80% probability she will choose to betray the Apocalypse Guild and join the host’s camp in order to survive.]

After reading this series of prompts.

Lin Ji’s eyes widened more and more, his mouth slightly agape.

This... this is possible too?

He originally thought that this improper skill plundered from that middle-aged woman was at most used to buff Shen Manyun and add a bit of fun.

Unexpectedly, at a critical moment, this thing actually became a life-saving trump card!

Moreover, it was a means of survival to turn the enemy’s general!

"Wait..."

Lin Ji took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and began to carefully scrutinize the details.

"Since she’s from the Apocalypse Guild, it’s highly likely she was Gu Tianming’s former subordinate."

"If that’s the case, then Gu Yihan might know this woman named Qin Yao."

But this raises a fatal question.

If the two sides are truly connected, and Gu Yihan is even Gu Tianming’s biological daughter.

Why in the vision did this woman try to kill them?

Without even a word of nonsense, she directly unleashed her ultimate move to wipe out the team?

Lin Ji lightly tapped the railing with his finger, his brain rapidly working.

"There are only two possibilities."

"Either Gu Yihan betrayed us, or the other party simply doesn’t take Gu Yihan seriously because of her E-grade talent!"

Lin Ji quickly ruled out the first possibility.

He possessed the B+ grade [Eye of Insight], combined with the acute perception of his Second-tier Constitution, allowing him to easily glimpse the mental state and micro-expressions of ordinary people.

During their time together, Gu Yihan’s physical and mental submission and dependence on him were absolutely impossible to fake.

If there was even a trace of betrayal in her heart, Lin Ji would have long detected clues.

"Since it’s not betrayal, then the remaining possibility is..."

"Regardless of which one it is, Gu Yihan’s kinship card will be utterly useless in the upcoming battle."

In fact, if they truly encounter her, this identity might even provoke even more frenzied killing from the other party.

Lin Ji looked up at the sky.

It was already past midnight, with some time left before dawn.

"At the current sailing speed, the ship will reach the vicinity of the Magma Floating Island in about four hours."

These four hours were his final time to prepare and arrange countermeasures.

"Teacher Shen, Tao Tao."

Lin Ji turned around and said to the two women behind him:

"You two go rest."

Shen Manyun looked at him with some concern, especially after seeing Lin Ji’s face suddenly turn deathly pale, which made her heart ache even more.

"Captain, I should still stay and keep watch with you..."

"No need."

Lin Ji’s gaze became unusually firm, filled with an undeniable resolve.

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow might bring a tough battle."

Meeting Lin Ji’s oppressive stare, Shen Manyun swallowed the words she wanted to say.

She knew this man’s character—once he decided on something, he wouldn’t change his mind.

"Alright... then be careful yourself."

Shen Manyun took Bai Taotao, who was still yawning, and turned to walk back to the first-level cabin.

Soon, only Lin Ji and the newly joined member—Lin Yurou—remained on the empty deck.

The early morning sea breeze carried a biting chill.

Lin Yurou’s somewhat frail body trembled slightly as she tightly clutched her tattered dress, which barely covered her youthful figure.

Facing this cold and powerful man alone, she instinctively felt a trace of fear and unease.

Especially when Lin Ji’s gaze fell upon her, she grew so nervous that her breathing became somewhat hurried.

Lin Ji noticed her tension and curled the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.

He walked over to Lin Yurou and gently patted her delicate shoulder.

"Don’t be nervous. I won’t eat you."

Lin Ji turned around, placed his hands on the railing, and gazed out at the dark sea.

"Fear is normal."

"This world is like a giant slaughterhouse now, with everyone struggling to survive."

"But remember, tears and fear are worthless here."

Lin Ji tilted his head slightly, looking at Lin Yurou’s pitiful profile, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalance.

"Since you’re on my ship now, forget all the rotten things from the past."

"You just need to make use of your value. Leave everything else to me."

Although these words weren’t particularly warm or affectionate, and even carried a touch of arrogance,

for a girl like Lin Yurou, who was extremely insecure, they were more effective than any sweet talk.

That sense of responsibility—that someone would hold up the sky if it fell—instantly shattered the defenses in her heart.

Lin Yurou looked at Lin Ji’s strong profile, a flicker of admiration and affection flashing in her eyes.

"I... I understand."

Blushing, she whispered:

"Thank you... Captain brother."

"I’ll work hard to protect everyone!"

Hearing that sweet "Captain brother," Lin Ji raised an eyebrow and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, enough talk."

"You’ve slept for two days. Aren’t you tired now?"

Lin Yurou quickly shook her head, like an obedient elementary school student.

"I’m not tired at all. I’m full of energy now!"

"Good. Then now, I’ll teach you how to truly apply your talent in combat."

Lin Ji turned around, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yurou’s petite and delicate figure.

"Your [Deep Slumber] not only protects yourself, but its greatest strength lies in that forced sleep-inducing control effect."

"To increase the success rate of control, aside from Spiritual Power suppression, you also need the element of surprise."

Lin Ji suddenly took a step forward, directly cornering Lin Yurou against the ship’s railing.

The distance between them instantly closed, so close they could feel each other’s breath.

Lin Yurou was startled, instinctively wanting to retreat, but there was nowhere left to go.

"Captain... Captain brother..."

Her face flushed crimson, her heart pounding like a drum.
