NOVPUBLin Shen initially thought that with Catherine's foundation in the Demon Heart Finger, learning the Thousand Men's Pointer should come easily.
After all, the Demon Heart Finger was a prerequisite skill for the Thousand Men's Pointer, but after he had taught her several times, Catherine had mastered the movements, yet she failed to unleash the true power of the Thousand Men's Pointer.
"Do you dare to play me?" Catherine's fingers clenched, and the Power of Nirvana transformed into a beam of sword light, pressing against Lin Shen's chest.
"What I taught was all true, I haven't held anything back. If you can't learn it yourself, how can you blame me?" Lin Shen said with a frown.
Catherine saw Lin Shen's expression, which didn't seem like he was lying. However, she couldn't rule out that he might be a seasoned actor, so she said coldly, "Stay right here, I can find out the truth shortly. If I find out you're teaching me a fake, I'll chop your head off, even if you are the head of the Celestial Race's delegation."
With that, Catherine walked to the side, sat on a couch, and took out her communicator to send messages.
The Nirvana-formed sword light remained suspended in front of Lin Shen, neither dissipating nor moving, as if time had frozen around it.
"This woman... formidable indeed..." Lin Shen remarked to himself when he felt his pocket watch vibrate.
"No way!" Lin Shen immediately understood what had happened, and turned his back to Catherine as he quietly pulled out his pocket watch to take a look.
Sure enough, it was a message from Red Heart A.
Lin Shen was now certain; this woman was unquestionably Red Heart A.
Seeing Catherine continue to type messages on her communicator without noticing him, Lin Shen opened Red Heart A's message and saw that it was the complete version of the Thousand Men's Pointer that he had taught.
"Red Heart A trusts Spade A so much, to send such a skill obtained with her own body so openly, what is their relationship exactly?" Lin Shen wondered. Stay tuned to Freewebnovel
He planned to ask Tie when he got back if he really was Spade A? And if so, what was his relationship with Red Heart A?
"If the two are a couple..." Lin Shen hardly dared to continue that thought.
"Take a good look for me, is this Finger Skill really real?" Red Heart A sent another message.
Lin Shen saw her glance back at him, so he pretended to be nonchalant, keeping himself busy with the communicator.
"Who are you asking to verify it? Can they be trusted?" Lin Shen pretended to play with the communicator as he purposefully asked.
"Definitely more reliable than you." Catherine said coldly, "If he says you're fake, then you are definitely fake, and you must die. If he says it's real, you may live, so you better pray hard."
"Is he that good? Maybe you should invite him here to verify it in person. Judging by the message alone, could there be a mistake?" Lin Shen suggested.
"He won't make a mistake," Catherine replied with full confidence, as if the man were an infallible presence.
Lin Shen thought to himself, "Well, if you trust him that much, then this matter is as good as settled."
Lin Shen deliberately took some time before quietly replying to Red Heart A's message with a single word, "Real."
Now Lin Shen had some regrets. Had he known she would ask Spade A to verify the skill's authenticity, he would have taught her a fake version directly. After all, being both a forger and verifier, what was real or fake was all up to him to decide.
Catherine, upon seeing Spade A's reply, was slightly surprised; she had thought the Thousand Men's Pointer Lin Shen had taught would surely be flawed.
But since Spade A affirmed it as real, then there absolutely was no issue.
Catherine didn't understand why she hadn't been able to master it. With her foundation in the Demon Heart Finger, it should have been easy.
Yet, since the skill wasn't fake, her failure to master it must be due to the skill's difficulty and the need for time to succeed.
"You can leave now." Catherine stood up and paid no further attention to Lin Shen, ready to leave the place.
Lin Shen, now in possession of the Fire Seed, felt quite content and had no desire to involve himself with this woman any further. He planned to return to the delegation.
Unfortunately, there was only one orbital car available, so Lin Shen had to join Catherine inside the same orbital vehicle.
Catherine, upon seeing Lin Shen follow inside, frowned slightly but then, remembering her earlier plans, she smiled and said, "There's a banquet tonight, organized by Long Yue. Are you interested in joining?"
"Long Yue? Which Long Yue?" Lin Shen asked, surprised, as he had done some research before arriving.
He had a bit of understanding of the well-known and named elites of the Diman Tribe.
But he had never heard of the name Long Yue; among the famous elites and their children of the Diman Tribe, it seemed no one bore that name.
"You don't know about Long Yue, such a talented and beautiful woman?" Catherine thought Lin Shen was pretending.
How could any man in the cosmos not know Long Yue? She was a woman many noble families desired to include in their own.
Lin Shen took out his communicator to search and immediately found numerous details surrounding Long Yue.
This Long Yue seemed to be a star of the Interstellar Age, not an entertainment star, but a star truly capable and learned.
There was a myriad of stories about her on Heaven's Web. Essentially, it was a range of scenarios where she would impress and amaze others.
Talk of her becoming Immortal before even reaching twenty, or as a child compelling wild Base Mutation Creatures to voluntarily pledge allegiance, or debating with an Immortal Level powerhouse until he was reduced to tears, unable to win the debate and thus resorting to a fight, only to be beaten to tears by Long Yue instead, and so on.
In short, just one word described this woman: both skilled in battle and eloquent in speech. If Di Esi was considered the most famous man of recent years, then Long Yue was his female counterpart, only without as prestigious a background.
But that only added to Long Yue's legendary status and earned her adoration from those at grassroots level.
Upon seeing her, Lin Shen knew such a person definitely had a background, and it was impossible for her to be genuinely from the grassroots.
He had no interest in this person, but when he saw the images others had taken of Long Yue and noticed they were covered with heavy mosaics, he instantly became interested. He nodded eagerly, "Then please, do me the honor of accompanying you there."
Catherine, seeing Lin Shen's eagerness after searching, felt slightly uncomfortable. But she understood that the man likely did not know Long Yue before.
"This guy, a close minister of Emperor Tianshu, how could he be so uninformed?" At that moment, Catherine truly believed Lin Shen didn't recognize her.
With this thought, a cunning glint appeared in Catherine's eyes, as if she had conceived of some new scheme.
