he felt bitter and happy at the same time. he felt bitter because he was getting beaten up, he also came to know that he was nothing without combat a.s.sistance mode here. He wasn,t a fighter after all.

he was happy because he just verified this woman who he fell for at first sight may also have feelings for him. it was quite a relief.

"you can't even beat me a single weak six-stage and you want to fight several of them and you won't beat that boss Zhao a peak qi gathering expert if you do not have a death wish then what it is"

Yi Ying said furiously. she thought 'where is the smart one from before it would be better to die with him than this idiot'

Bai Jie asked " miss Yi please tell me, what you said is true right if someone disturbs you while cultivation it could lead to that person being heavily injured or may kill him "

Yi Ying stopped beating him and replied "it also depends on situations if a person is breaking through his bottleneck he will have to control a very large amount of spirit energy to break his bottleneck if deviation happens at that time, will lead to his certain death. but if he is in an idle state that cultivator can certainly forcefully suppress it from doing any damage"

"I see so it's circ.u.mstantial so we can cause maximum damage when he is going to break through" Bai Jie mumbled.

"look let me tell you something a qi gathering expert is not something me our you can handle. you can never escape him even we ran

betting on our lives we will not be able to escape from here he can kill us with a wave of his finger " Yi Ying said somewhat annoyed.

"you think you are the son of heaven that everything will work out for you I even think how could even stay alive with an att.i.tude like that "

while she was scolding him, his eyes glowed even brighter and brighter he was screaming in his heart

'mother I found the one for me'

Bai Jie looked toward her and said "Thank you"

it was a deep voice filled with depth.

Yi Ying stopped scolding. her heart started racing again. In deep silence, a moment pa.s.sed like an eternity.

Bai Jie continued "you don't have to worry about that boss Zhao if he absorbed energy from the spirit stone. he would be falling for his demise. and those so-called bandits it will be easy for me to handle them. look closely you have beaten me so ruthlessly can you even see a scratch on my body "

if Bai Jie didn't mention it she might not have noticed .when she heard of being beaten ruthlessly she became shy all of a sudden .if anyone else saw it they might think it's ugly a red face with six black eyes and thin lines on her cheeks while her whole face was red.

Yi Ying looked closely towards Bai Jie his clothes looked very ragged but on his body,

there was not even a single scratch. she gulped while closely looking at him.

Bai Jie grinned "miss Yi you can have a closer look if you want"

Yi Ying who was caught red-handed quickly looked away she thought ' how is this possible even though I didn't want to injure him, how could he remain unscathed if I beat up an 8th stage or ninth stage even he can't remain unscathed.

how could his body be so strong .ahh that body. ' she hurriedly shook her head to remove those thoughts.

"hmm, I believe in you a little now your body no, your body cultivation technique I have seen it's quite a good, no I mean it's quite strong," Yi Ying said bashfully her was face was red.

Bai Jie felt like he was floating in the clouds now feeling great about himself he also thought 'thank you mother for giving your son so valuable body'.

"but even so our main problem remains boss Zhao how should we deal with him, "asked Yi Ying while frowning.

"that's why we are still talking here in the cage" replied Bai Jie. he was still thinking.

****************

Bai Jie voiced 'minion'

'yes Milord '

'were we able to locate him '

'no Milord we can't detect him '

'dammit 'replied Bai Jie.

'but we might have something else'

'hmm what is it ' He asked.

'Milord can you get beaten again I would like to verify something'

when Bai Jie heard it he felt like crying why everyone enjoys him being beaten like a chicken is it that funny.

'minion tell me you have a valid reason for it' asked Bai Jie.

'supreme one when you were beaten up your body adapted to it 'minion replied

Bai Jie's lips were twitching.

'Milord according to a.n.a.lytical data there is a 1.2% increase in the body defense and by absorbing vibration and kinetic energy our reserve energy raised by 1% now energy reserve is 6%'

'just 5 minutes of beating and I get 1% of energy' asked Bai Jie in a shocked tone.

'yes Milord, ask the second mistress to beat you up it will be beneficial for your mind and body' minion asked again.

'you how could you say this no absolutely not I won't get beaten up for no reason and how is she, second mistress. she is the first mistress by the way. ' Bai Jie rejected straight away.

'supreme one did you again forgot about this lowly one ' minion voice sounded again even though it was an autonomous voice Bai Jie felt a s.h.i.+ver run down his spine.

Bai Jie knew he had to salvage the situation or he will have to suffer from crying little girl he may not die but it would be even worse.

'minion off course you know what is before one right, it's zero. you are my zero mistresses so she is the first one right ' Bai Jie tries to give a logical reply.

'Thank you Milord but I hope there won't be any negative mistress I hate negative numbers. I also discovered that I have to need to destroy negative numbers' replied Minion.

Bai Jie was scared now

'how is this a.i developing so fast I might run out of tricks for it . after this mess I have to change it. why the h.e.l.l do you leave me minion 1.0?' Thought Bai Jie.

'minion what is the current progress with the simulation of brain wave ' Bai Jie tried to change the topic.

'not enough data Milord ' replied minion.

'I want to know an ordinary humans brain waves show me with appropriate scale ' said Bai Jie.

retrieving data,

data found

delta waves with a frequency range from 0.1 to 4hz

'any relevant data to the significance of these waves'

asked Bai Jie.

'Milord there have been many hypotheses but no proof why brain produce these waves. the human brain is burning energy to emit those wave signals without any significance. ' replied minion.

Bai Jie thought for a while' it is not that these wave signal are not of any significance but they couldn't find anything to resonate with'

'Milord you mean spirit energy, these brain waves try to resonate with spirit energy 'asked minion.

'if I could just have enough energy to peak at this so-called spirit energy at the atomic level, it looks like I have to experiment first ' thought Bai Jie with a sigh but he was a scientist, not an engineer.

'minion our current reserve are too low for stimulating my brain any bioenergy sources we can find' said Bai Jie.

'no Milord only human type of bioma.s.s is detected for nutrients.' replied minion.

Bai Jie closed his eyes maybe he was accepting his fate path of evil never was an easy one.

'there only one way' thought Bai Jie.

*********

'minion start the process while stimulating the brain waves to start from 0.1 raise it little by little keep check on vital signs ready system for an immediate response '

Bai Jie commanded Minion.

"Yi Ying I will be truthful with you I am going to try something. I seem to not gain anything from the cultivation technique I tried your breathing pattern and everything depicted in it

I am going to try my way now even my defense is strong I am not able to attack using spirit energy which makes my offense just brute strength this also may lead me to be injured " said Bai Jie seriously.

Yi Ying replied "a cultivator has to face death every time he wants to improve these bandits may look evil but they also suffered from more life and death situations "

Bai Jie nodded towards her he moved towards a corner he sat cross-legged keeping his head calm

'is it ready if energy is not sufficient to use my life energy as fuel ' said Bai Jie.

( Life energy is basic nutrients for a life form to stay alive )

'my lord your body is already pa.s.sed his age limit it's the vitality that's keeping it alive' minion asked but her tone was faltering.

'minion you asked me why do I think she is beautiful right let me answer it, in my life I have lived I met many types of people some were evil some were good. I don't know why I feared woman the most my whole life whenever I saw a woman that want to come close to me I felt like a predator looking on to me and now I find myself in this strange world I knew minion you are suppressing my fear of woman but when I look at her I didn't feel fear for the first time like what I am seeing is right this woman protecting these strangers while fighting for herself without any frown or any displeasure she is fighting for survival. I always thought that my thinking is wrong somehow, people like cute girls but I don't .people like good looking people but for me, we all are just a cl.u.s.ter of billions of atoms our shape and those other characteristics. for me, it was never an issue after I have developed the technology to change it. it felt like everything lost its meaning. I could make someone beautiful and someone beautiful to an ingrate' Bai Jie paused for a moment before continuing speaking

' I think I know the reason or it may just be a feeling I never wanted my life partner to be a cute pet I can keep at home because they looked good I wanted a life partner who I can share my life with, minion I have finally found one who doesn't have that look in her eyes in my life it's first time I feel alive I know my fear for a woman comes from the trauma I suffered.

but I feel like, I like her and she genuinely cares about me I know that look when she beat me up haha I don't know why but she likes me too, minion that's why I am putting myself in danger just to have a possibility to survive this minion that's why I want you to use my vital energy as fuel I don't want to die while I have finally found my other self so I can't die or let her die, do you understand minion' said Bai Jie.

what Bai Jie didn't know was because he was a genius every nation wanted to take his technology for weapons. Bai Jie never gave away his technologies to the military not even to his nation he always believed science and military should never be combined. Every organization wanted his technologies they tried everything money threats and glory that how the whole nation would be proud of him. but Bai Jie was not an idiot what these people want is the power to rule over others. every organization sent their best agents to seduce him entice him just to bring him to their side. it was also the reason why he never finds a friend he was always surrounded by people who want to use him.

'yes Milord'

'what is the probability of my hypothesis being true 'asked Bai Jie.

'Milord it's less than 50% with our current information 'replied Minion.

' after boss Zhao breakthrough he will kill us or he may torture me to find any other things,so it's live or die ' said Bai Jie once again.

'minion start the process let's see if this cultivation is a possibility for me' Bai Jie commanded.

'yes Milord'

Bai Jie fell unconscious.

*******

A white gas emitted out of Bai Jie's body. Yi Ying who was standing beside him saw this white smoke came out .she could feel that Bai Jie was very unconscious and that white smoke like it had its consciousness of its own, it started to move towards her.
