"Ouch...it hurts, where am I..." Zuo Qihan rubbed his eyes, looking at the unfamiliar place before him. He stood up and walked aimlessly, calling out as he went, "Brother? Li Jiasen! Arui! Xue'er! Zhang Guiyuan! Xiaozhi! Where are you?" Only his own echo answered him.

"Red Flame."

"Who? Come out!"

When Zuo Qihan heard someone calling him, he looked around but couldn't see anyone. He said nervously, "What kind of behavior is this, hiding like this! Come out!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a man appeared in front of Zuo Qihan.

The man looked at him with disdain: "Chi Yan, perhaps... I should call you Zuo Qihan, right?"

"you know me?"

The man laughed, "Who doesn't know you? Zuo Qihan, a sophomore at Z Era Academy, Chi Yan, the vessel of the elven sacred fire. Your classmates are eager to protect you, but they don't understand you, and even think you're just trying to show off..."

Zuo Qihan interrupted the other person: "Shut up!"

Ignoring Zuo Qihan's words, the man continued, "If they don't remember you, do you still want to protect them?"

"That's my business, it's none of your concern!"

“Alright! Zuo Qihan, they’re up ahead now. Go ask them if they remember you, especially… the three people you care about most.”

Zuo Qihan murmured, "Xue'er, brother, Arui..."

The man laughed and said, "Yes, it's them."

Zuo Qihan asked anxiously, "What do you want to do?"

The man remained silent, then smiled and disappeared.

Zuo Qihan hurriedly ran forward and found his companions right in front of him. He anxiously called out, "Brother Nuo! Brother! Arui! Xue'er! Friends, you're all still here, that's great!"

Niu Yinuo turned his head in confusion and asked, "Who are you?" Yang Zhiyuan, who was next to him, also tilted her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Zuo Qihan was startled and hurriedly explained, "I am Zuo Qihan."

Zuo Qihan ran over and grabbed Li Jiasen's sleeve again: "Brother, look at me, brother." Then he turned around and pulled Ling Zhaoxue and Zhang Hanrui: "Xue'er, it's me, Xue'er, don't you remember me? Arui, what... what happened to you!"

Zhang Guiyuan glanced at Zuo Qihan and said, "Zuo Qihan? I know, guys, the villain that Captain Lin Renjian asked us to eliminate."

Guan Junchen said, "So you are the villain who destroyed Generation Z's continent."

Zuo Qihan's eyes reddened, and he said anxiously, "We are partners! It wasn't me who destroyed Generation Z, it was... it was Mei Suzhi and the others, not me."

Yang Hanbo reached out, and Xingxi transformed into a whip in his hand, saying, "Why waste words with him? Let's attack!"

Zuo Qihan hurriedly dodged Yang Hanbo's attack, but was accidentally hit by an arrow from Chen Yiheng's bow. He fell to the ground in pain.

Chen Yiheng stepped forward and said coldly, "I'll spare your life this time, but next time, I'll take your life directly!"

As Zuo Qihan watched his companions depart, a tear fell from his eye.

At this moment, the man reappeared: "How does it feel to be injured by your own partner?"

Zuo Qihan wiped away his tears and said, "You're the one who erased their memories of me, right?"

The man laughed and said, "As expected of Chi Yan, you are indeed clever."

Zuo Qihan stood up despite the pain: "You, are you also the one Guiyuan just mentioned... Lin Renjian?"

"Yes, that's right, it's me. I do admire you, but you know, being injured by a spirit weapon isn't easy to recover from; in severe cases, it can be fatal. It seems... that young man with the spirit bow spared your life. If he had missed by even a fraction of an inch, you would have been dead." "Tell me, why did you erase their memories? What is your purpose? And how can I make them remember me!"

"Then you'll have to use your clever little brain yourself." With that, Lin Renjian smiled slyly and left.

Zuo Qihan clutched his wound and slowly moved forward. After an unknown amount of time, he finally caught up with his companions.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that his companions were fighting a venomous dragon under Mei Suzhi's command. Without thinking, he rushed forward, embraced the venomous dragon, and shouted, "Fire Domain! Break the Dawn! Flames around you obey my command! Break!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang and a wave of heat swept over them. Yang Bowen quickly threw out his shield to cover everyone.

As the flames gradually subsided, the venomous dragon vanished without a trace, leaving only the wounded and dying Zuo Qihan.

Everyone stared at Zuo Qihan lying on the ground when a flash of white light streaked past their eyes. Zhang Hanrui was the first to react, hurriedly saying, "Yang... Yang Bowen, quickly open the barrier! Save... save Zuo Qihan! Hurry!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Bowen immediately deployed a barrier.

Li Jiasen rushed over, picked up Zuo Qihan, and shouted, "Xiao Zhi! Quickly check him out!"

Zhi Enhan responded and used her special ability to treat Zuo Qihan.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Eun-han slowly spoke, "Your Highness, he... just used Elemental Blast... The consequence of forcibly activating Elemental Blast is... a significant reduction in his supernatural abilities. If he were to forcibly use his abilities, he could very well lose his life."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Zhang Hanrui said in disbelief, "Element... Explosion... how could this be... Qi Han... why did we forget him? If we hadn't forgotten him... wouldn't this have happened?"

Chen Yiheng also spoke up: "I actually injured him just now... He was already injured, and then the elemental explosion..."

Li Jiasen interrupted Chen Yiheng and asked, "Is there any way to cure him?"

Zhi Enhan shook her head. Zhang Xuanrui also sighed and helplessly returned to Yu Junxi's book.

Zuo Qihan slowly opened his eyes and saw Li Jiasen hugging him and silently shedding tears. He called out, "Brother..."

Li Jiasen turned around and saw Zuo Qihan awake. He swallowed back his words of reproach and only said, "It's good that you're awake. Take good care of your injuries and don't be so impulsive again."

Zuo Qihan exclaimed in surprise, "You remember me? Brother."

Chen Yiheng walked over, his eyes red, and said, "I'm sorry, Zuo Qihan, I just... I just... I didn't mean to, really."

Zuo Qihan smiled and shook his head, comforting him, "It's alright, don't worry, I'm fine..."

Zhang Hanrui rushed over anxiously: "What do you mean 'nothing's wrong'! Xiao Zhi said... you just used Elemental Blast, do you know the consequences of doing that! If you force yourself to use your powers again, you'll be in trouble, do you know that?!"

"I know."

"Then you still..."

“I don’t want anything to happen to you, and I especially don’t want anything to happen to you because of me. I found out on the third day I was here that I was their target. I can’t let you get hurt because of me.”

Li Jiasen said, "Alright, you should rest now and stop talking so much. We'll take care of things from here on out. Don't be impulsive anymore."

Chen Junming also chimed in, "Yeah, Zuo Qihan, don't push yourself so hard. Wouldn't it be better to let yourself off the hook?"

Zuo Qihan smiled faintly and gently closed his eyes.

"left……"

"Shh, let him rest for a while, Ash, cast a spell to heal him."

"Yes, Your Highness."
