Chapter 103: Chapter 97: Each One’s Limit (Part 2)_2

Tian Ruyue imparted to Wang Yizhi a part that roughly came from “Li,” yet this part was of little use to the current Chu Yu—could imparting scientific knowledge to the ancients guarantee to save her life?

It could not.

If “Li” referred to scientific knowledge, then by contrast, the part represented by “Wen,” which indicated literary knowledge, could also be temporarily dismissed. “Jing” likely meant classics or scripture, which was not what she needed either. Hence, all that was left to do was filtering between “Ji” and “Yu.”

Chu Yu’s gaze wandered back and forth between “Ji” and “Yu,” calculating in her mind which one she required. Out of the blue, she heard Tian Rujing’s cool urging, “Please hurry.”

Take a gamble, then.

Chu Yu bit her lip and reached out toward the character “Yu,” touching the character with the tip of her slender finger. It pierced through the pale blue light screen, a light blue glow illuminating her hand, giving Chu Yu the illusion of being back in her previous life, sitting in front of a computer, basked in the glow from the computer screen, and a trace of nostalgia arose in her heart.

“Yu? Very well.” Tian Rujing was stunned for a moment by Chu Yu’s action. He hadn’t expected Chu Yu to dare to reach out and touch the light screen. When he first encountered this light screen, he wouldn’t even get close, let alone touch it, until Tian Ruyue had assured him it was harmless and ordered him to do so.

The woman before him, named Chu Yu, was not a person of impulsive foolishness, yet she dared to confidently touch the light screen… Did she already know that this blue light would not harm anyone?

Tian Rujing glanced at Chu Yu curiously, then commanded himself not to ponder too deeply. A command formulated in his mind, Chu Yu felt an invisible force unfold around her, the air seemingly becoming slightly constricted, and she was surrounded by a pale blue light.

This was the spherical Light Shield that had bounced Chu Yu away several times, yet now it enclosed both people within it. From inside the Light Shield looking out, everything took on a light blue tint.

Now, the meaning of this “Yu” character had become evident—it denoted defense, and this Light Shield was a defensive measure innate to the bracelet.

Chu Yu was not satisfied with this information—had she known, she would have chosen the other option: “This is not enough. I’ve encountered this Light Shield before. Right now, it’s just looking from the inside out, nothing special. You at least need to let me know the principle behind this Light Shield’s activation.”

“The principle of activation?” Tian Rujing frowned slightly, then his brow relaxed, saying, “This Shield does contain some explanations among the Divine Artifacts. However, perhaps due to my limited talent, I find them somewhat difficult to understand. Letting you have a look… won’t hurt.”

In his heart, he silently spoke, “Master, I am not defying your teachings. It’s just that, perhaps she truly could understand it, which would be greatly beneficial for our future inheritance.”

Tian Rujing rapidly manipulated the controls again, with the interface on the blue light screen changing extremely swiftly, so fast that Chu Yu hardly had a chance to get a clear look before Tian Rujing called up the principle explanations for the Light Shield saved in the data.

Chu Yu read through the explanation meticulously, and after a long while, she looked up, smiled at Tian Rujing, and said deliberately, “I didn’t quite understand it.”

While she was reading, she was fully engrossed, now and then deep in thought, now and then frowning—obviously, she had absorbed the content, but now claimed not to understand, clearly lying through her teeth. Tian Rujing felt a trace of annoyance, but as soon as he grew angry, he immediately caught himself, silently scolding his overly volatile emotions today, which was indeed highly inappropriate.

Chu Yu smiled again, saying, “I’m not lying to you—I really didn’t completely understand it, at best I got about half of it.” She only understood the activation conditions and consequences of the Defense Light Shield. As for the specific principles, the technical terms used were too complex, and she was unable to fathom their meanings.

At most, she knew what would happen, but not why it happened.

However, even understanding just half was enough. After all, not every computer user needed to delve into the principles and architecture of every program inside a computer.

Chu Yu, with a smile, glanced at Tian Rujing and said, “What do you say, would you like me to explain the part I understood?”

Tian Rujing was not pretentious and nodded decisively, saying, “What do you want?” He clearly understood that her willingness to acknowledge what she understood and her offer of explanation were nothing more than means to secure more benefit.

Chu Yu cheerfully responded, “Straightforward—I want to see those options you initially hid away.” It would be good to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about all the functions of the bracelet, even if only in a general sense.
