Chapter 52: Seven Word Name (2/2)

The old man dug through the garbage heap once again. “Hey, where I did throw it? Why can’t I find it?”

Ai Hui’s concern grew even stronger as he started to doubt his decision.

“Found it!”

The old man’s cheer resounded from the mountain of equipment. Shortly after, he crawled out with his hair all messed up and a dark green plate in his hand. On it were all kinds of symbols Ai Hui did not recognize. It seemed impressive.

Strangely, Ai Hui regained confidence.

With his attire and appearance in disarray, the device in his hand, and his eyes shining, the old man relished in this momentous occasion. His dream was about to take off. His clothes fluttered without any breeze, his unkempt dismal hair was like that of a poet, and his radiant pupils seemed as though they could see through all worldly objects. He said in a low, but powerful voice, “I’m going to start!”

His hands, like flowing water, moved across the operating compass.

Bzzt Bzzt. A silver electric current flowed on the surface of the copper armor.

Ai Hui opened his eye wide in fear and his body shook non-stop like a sieve. He wanted to call for help, but nothing came out of his mouth.

“Eh, why is there lightning?” The old man was puzzled.

Ai Hui felt like crying. Who am I to ask if you ask me?!

The old man stopped operating the compass, walked to the now inert armor, and kicked it a few times before starting the remote again.

Ai Hui, who had just started to relax, opened his eyes wide once more, and his body again shook like a sieve as a numbness spread.

Black fumes billowed from the copper armor and Ai Hui was soon surrounded by black smog.

The old man muttered, “Eh, why is there smoke again? Did the rain tarnish it? Oh, oh, oh, wrong remote. This is for the wood attribute, no wonder, no wonder.”

Ai Hui almost passed out when hearing this.

He finally knew why he felt uneasy. He was going to quit this test the moment his body recovered.

That’s right!

Must stop!

Ai Hui swore to himself.

Then, he saw a silver compass and a hand. That hand lightly shook the operating compass as the old man’s voice was heard. “Nothing will go wrong this time! Ai Hui, it’s starting!”

Ai Hui’s immobilized body involuntarily trembled.

Even before the old man finished talking, Ai Hui’s eyes spasmed wide once more.
