Ning Fan, unable to contain his excitement, pulled out two pieces of the Nine Souls Jade from his bosom.
No sooner had he taken them out than the Nine Souls Jade emitted a faint, pale glow; held in his hands, they were crystal clear with a slight warmth to them and exceptionally smooth.
Witnessing this transformation, Ning Fan immediately became ecstatic, pondering how these two pieces of Nine Souls Jade would change him.
The Nine Souls Jade was producing an effect, and this effect was bound to be extraordinary, for the previous Invisibility Ability and Perspective Ability he had acquired were both special abilities brought to him by the Nine Souls Jade.
"Back when I first fought to obtain the first piece of Nine Souls Jade, I had a close brush with death against that old man Guiguzi, and I almost ended up dying inside the Egyptian Pharaoh's Pyramid."
Perseverance pays off, and Ning Fan finally managed to get the first piece of Nine Souls Jade.
"After obtaining the Nine Souls Jade, it soon helped transform my body, granting me the Invisibility Technique and Perspective Ability!
Now, the second piece of Nine Souls Jade is also in my hands.
More importantly, it's already beginning to take effect, which means it's possible that more abilities will appear, perhaps abilities more powerful than Invisibility Ability, or that enhance my physical fitness, further unleashing my potential, and maybe even possibly restoring my memory!"
Just thinking about these possibilities excited Ning Fan.
As for what specific benefits they were, Ning Fan didn't know yet, but he would soon find out.
So, Ning Fan placed the two pieces of Nine Souls Jade against his chest, feeling their warmth.
Before long, he felt a stream of pure energy swiftly entering his body, and his body crazily absorbing the energy of the Nine Souls Jade.
He watched as the dim glow of the Nine Souls Jade started to fade, diminishing until they looked like they had returned to normal.
Ning Fan looked at his own body, noticing it was gradually disappearing into the air, until he was completely invisible.
Ning Fan was already adept at the Invisibility Technique, so there was nothing particularly astonishing about that, but he felt this invisibility was somehow different from before.
Previously, after turning invisible, he would experience a strong dizziness, and his strength would drop to a third of its peak, and he could only maintain it for thirty seconds.
But this time, after becoming invisible, although his strength still decreased to a third, there was no strong dizzy sensation, and it seemed like the duration was extended.
This was definitely a pleasant surprise. Without experiencing dizziness and a longer duration meant that the time he could remain hidden while infiltrating had significantly increased.
Whether this was actually the case needed to be verified.
With these thoughts in mind, Ning Fan quickly left the bedroom to test the effectiveness of his invisibility.
Exiting the bedroom, he saw Xu Xiaoqing cuddling a cushion while watching television on the sofa. With a secret chuckle, Ning Fan walked in front of Xu Xiaoqing and blocked her view.
Xu Xiaoqing, the little girl, did not perceive any changes, nor did she see him, and just continued watching the television.
At once, Ning Fan was thrilled; indeed, the power of his invisibility had significantly improved.
But just then, a sudden urge to urinate overtook him, and he merrily scampered off to the bathroom, delighting in the joy of his newfound strength as he relieved himself.
"Before, I would've been visible by the time I finished peeing, but now I want to see if I can last the length of a pee."
His prior invisibility could only last for thirty seconds, which was far too restrictive, but now it had been greatly extended.
This is what true invisibility is!
Ning Fan's mind was abuzz with excitement, and he began to wonder, when he got his hands on the third Nine Souls Jade, perhaps he could reduce the penalty to his own strength?
By then, he wouldn't need to reveal himself; he could just attack the opponent while remaining unseen. Just thinking about it felt thrilling.
As Ning Fan peed, he hummed a little tune to himself, still buzzing with excitement.
Just then, the sound of water came from outside the bathroom glass, someone was showering? Ning Fan started, surprised; who could be showering at this time?
Ning Fan wanted to keep watching, but he knew better; if he continued, he was certain to spray out a pound of nosebleed and faint right there.
So, with great reluctance, looking back every three steps, he quietly made his way back outside.
Suddenly, Xu Xiaoqing burst into the bathroom, saying with a laugh, "Sis, it's been a long time since we showered together, I want to bathe with you today."
Then the bathroom door was shut firmly by Xu Xiaoqing.
Ning Fan was left speechless: "..."
Even if he wanted to leave now, he'd have to open the door first before he could get out.
But damn it, Xu Xiaoqing was right in front of the mirror by the door. If he opened it now, wouldn't he just expose himself?
How was he supposed to get out?
Before Ning Fan could curse the girl for messing things up, something else left him dumbstruck.
Xu Xiaoqing was still playfully laughing, saying, "Sis, could you scrub my back? It's been such a long time since I've had one."
Xu Ruolan smiled slightly and replied, "Sure, let me see if little Xiaoqing has grown up."
Xu Xiaoqing instinctively glanced down at her bare form before turning her head to look at Xu Ruolan, immediately making a face.
Xu Xiaoqing complained, "My dear sister, I feel rather aggrieved... "
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoqing's lament, Xu Ruolan smiled softly, her laughter as melodious as the chime of silver bells.
Xu Ruolan's and Xu Xiaoqing's conversation drifted more and more off-topic, yet they both felt it was nothing—a simple daily interaction between sisters.
Ning Fan couldn't take it anymore; this teasing was almost killing him!
He also realized a critical problem: the time left for him to remain invisible was running out.
Even after absorbing the Nine Souls Jade, the previous invisibility of thirty seconds was only lengthened to about a minute.
The moment that minute was up, his invisibility would wear off!
If the Xu sisters discovered him then, even an attempt to explain would be futile; he would no doubt be roasted to death on the spit!
The Xu sisters continued to frolic and laugh.
