The words of Han Lingyun echoed in the air, and Lin Yuan felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him. He knew this was not a simple meeting, but a silent Dual-Line Game. Suppressing his inner vigilance, he forced a casual smile and said, "Han Consultant, is there something that can't be discussed at the Alliance meeting? Why the mystery?"
A meaningful smile curled at the corners of Han Lingyun's lips. She did not answer directly but gently placed the file bag on the table, producing a soft thud that instantly lowered the atmosphere in the room. Lin Yuan's heart sank; he knew the real game was about to begin.

**Conspiracy in the Laboratory: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole**
When Lin Yuan returned to the secret laboratory, Zhou Haoran was deep in thought in front of a holographic screen displaying various complex Lingqi data graphs. Lin Yuan briefly informed him about his meeting with Han Lingyun. Upon hearing this, Zhou Haoran's bloodshot eyes widened even more.
"What the hell! That woman is too cunning! She's actually testing you?" Zhou Haoran slammed his hand on the table, causing the data on the screen to shake. He rubbed his chin and paced back and forth, muttering, "No way, we can't just sit here and wait. Since she wants to play, let's play a big game with her!"
Watching Zhou Haoran's excited demeanor made Lin Yuan chuckle, but he felt a sense of agreement within. He knew Zhou Haoran had plenty of tricks up his sleeve, and now was the perfect time for him to think outside the box.
"Alright, what do you have in mind?" Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, signaling Zhou Haoran to continue.
"Hehe, let's set up a 'reverse trap'!" A sly smile appeared on Zhou Haoran's face. "Since that obsidian Taoist mentioned there are spies and that one is connected to the Alliance's upper echelons, let's give them a taste of an 'empty city strategy'!"
He leaned closer to Lin Yuan and lowered his voice as he vividly outlined his plan: deliberately releasing false information claiming they had discovered an 'Eye of Lingqi' that could significantly enhance Cultivator strength to lure out the spy.
As Lin Yuan listened, his eyes gradually lit up. This plan was devious enough and thrilling!

**False Information: The Eye of Lingqi**
Lin Yuan and Zhou Haoran had long been lying in wait at the "Eye of Lingqi," a carefully arranged false secret realm abundant in Lingqi. In truth, it was merely an abandoned laboratory, cluttered with discarded instruments and pipes. However, under the skilled hands of Lin Yuan and Zhou Haoran, it had been disguised so convincingly that even the air was infused with a faint Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.
"Lin Alliance Leader, do you really think that kid will come?" Zhou Haoran crouched behind a pile of discarded equipment, lowering his voice as he asked, his tone laced with a mix of excitement and tension.
"He will definitely come," Lin Yuan replied softly, a determined glint in his eyes. "Because he believes this is his only chance to break through."
As time ticked by, the air seemed to freeze. Just when Zhou Haoran was about to doze off, a faint sound of footsteps echoed from afar, growing closer until it stopped at the entrance of the secret realm.
A slender man entered cautiously, holding an exquisite compass. It was Wang Shijie! He scanned the surroundings warily, his eyes gleaming with greed as if he could already envision the immense power brought by the Eye of Lingqi.

**Spy Revealed, Secret Experiment Exposed**
"Wang Shijie!"
Lin Yuan suddenly stepped out from the shadows, while Zhou Haoran promptly turned on the laboratory lights. The intense white light flooded the entire space, causing Wang Shijie to instinctively squint.
Wang Shijie's face turned pale in an instant as the compass slipped from his hand and clattered to the ground. He never expected to be caught here like a fish in a barrel.
Quickly regaining his composure, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He dropped the pretense and ripped off his mask of hypocrisy with a cold laugh. "Lin Yuan, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. But do you think this will be enough to catch me?!"
His body began to undergo a transformation as an eerie Lingqi surged forth from within him, sending the surrounding discarded instruments crashing down. Black patterns emerged densely across his body, writhing beneath his skin like living creatures and exuding a chilling aura.
"I admit it, I am a spy for the Obsidian Empire." Wang Shijie's voice grew low and hoarse, tinged with a hint of madness. "I have been conducting Lingqi experiments to create more powerful warriors! Someone like you is not worthy of such power!"
He suddenly raised his hand, and a black Lingqi Shockwave shot toward Lin Yuan like Lethal Arrows, the air filled with a piercing sound of friction.

**Devouring Counterattack, Power Upgrade**
Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened as he quickly sidestepped, the Shockwave crashing into the wall behind him and leaving a charred deep pit. The strength displayed by Wang Shijie far exceeded his expectations. This seemingly refined scientist was actually a deeply hidden super powerhouse!
"Want to create stronger warriors? Then let’s see how you fare against my 'Scientific Cultivation'!" Lin Yuan sneered, feeling no fear but rather a surge of excitement. He knew that Wang Shjie’s unique abilities would serve as excellent nourishment for his "Cell Devouring Evolution"!
Lin Yuan swiftly launched into action, engaging in combat with Wang Shijie. The methods of Wang Shijie's Scientific Cultivation were endless; he manipulated Lingqi to control discarded instruments, transforming them into deadly weapons. He could even conjure Lingqi shields out of thin air, blocking all of Lin Yuan's attacks. Each strike carried an unsettling corrosive force.
Lin Yuan remained calm, constantly searching for opportunities to make physical contact with Wang Shijie and activate his "Cell Devouring Evolution" ability. After several exchanges, he successfully devoured a few of Wang Shijie's cells.
As the cells were broken down, Lin Yuan felt waves of chaotic yet powerful energy surge into his body—Wang Shijie's unique understanding of the fusion between Lingqi and science, along with the special energy formed from his secret experiments. Lin Yuan's "Scientific Analysis" ability instantly surged, and his comprehension of Lingqi reached new heights. Many previously obscure principles governing Lingqi became clear in his mind.
He even sensed that he could manipulate Lingqi on a deeper level, combining it with more complex scientific principles. A glimmer of surprise flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes; this spy was practically a moving treasure trove!

**A Cornered Beast Fights Back, Hidden Crises**
Wang Shijie sensed the change in Lin Yuan, and his expression darkened further. He felt his power being quietly siphoned away by Lin Yuan, and this feeling of being eroded filled him with a strong sense of fear. He knew that if this continued, defeat was inevitable.
"Damn it! Are you trying to drain me dry?!" Wang Shijie roared, his body surging with Lingqi in an instant. No longer holding back, he unleashed his ultimate technique—a massive black hand formed from condensed Lingqi, striking towards Lin Yuan with a destructive force.
Lin Yuan responded with all his might, a pale blue Lingqi shield manifesting around him to collide violently with the black hand, producing a deafening roar. However, the power of the black hand was overwhelming, and cracks began to appear in Lin Yuan's shield.
At that critical moment, Lin Yuan erupted with a blinding light that burst forth from within him; it was the power of "Scientific Explosion," which instantly shattered the black hand. The backlash from Wang Shijie's Lingqi sent him flying back, crashing heavily against the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Trying to run?" Lin Yuan flashed forward, appearing right in front of Wang Shijie and grabbing him by the collar.
Despair spread across Wang Shijie's face as he realized his fate was sealed. Yet just as Lin Yuan was about to completely subdue him, a strange glint flickered in Wang Shijie's eyes. He suddenly opened his mouth and emitted a piercing shriek, while his body began to tremble violently as an unprecedented wave of energy erupted from within him.
"You've won, Lin Yuan! But I won't let you off easily!" A mad smile spread across Wang Shijie's face. "Do you think capturing me means you're safe?!"
His body rapidly expanded as if it were about to explode, and in his hand appeared a small metal device that had not been there moments before.
"Quick! He's going to self-destruct!" Zhou Haoran shouted urgently.
Lin Yuan's heart sank; without time to think further, he decisively struck Wang Shijie to knock him unconscious. However, the metal device activated with a soft beep just a second before Wang Shijie lost consciousness. A faint red light shot out from the device and vanished into thin air.
"This is bad! He has exposed our location!" Lin Yuan's expression changed drastically as he sensed a powerful and unfamiliar Spiritual Energy Fluctuation rapidly approaching their position.
