Two Realms: I am a Genius Magician

9 hours until the return.

Han Qianfei sat on the ground in Jiang Xue'er's tent. Suddenly, the water in the tank in front of him cooled down rapidly and froze into a block of ice in less than a second. The tank also cracked due to the expansion of the ice.

Jiang Xueer said, "From now on, when you cast a spell, you should extend your hand and pretend to do it."

Why?

"Don't ask. When magicians all over the world cast spells, they either gesture with their hands or hold up their wands. Why are you different?"

Two hours later, Jiang Xue'er frowned and said, "Is Sun Wukong still the Great Sage Equal to Heaven? How come he can't beat anyone now?"

Han Qianfei said, "Perhaps it's because of interpersonal relationships."

Jiang Xue'er said, "I don't want to hear it anymore. Tell me the ending!"

"Sun Wukong obtained the sacred scriptures and was bestowed the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha."

Jiang Xue'er stared wide-eyed: "The Monkey King has become a Buddha?!?"

Han Qianfei nodded.

"Ha, this is boring."

Jiang Xue'er didn't want to talk about Journey to the West anymore, and instead said, "The camp closes tomorrow. I've already applied to have you removed from the Death Servant identity, but you still need to be implanted with the Life-Binding Gu. But don't worry, the main Gu is with me."

Han Qianfei knew that the main Gu of the Dead Servant had to be kept in Zhige Lake for safekeeping. These past few days, Jiang Xue'er had been frequently absent, probably because she had gone to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

Han Qianfei always felt confused by Jiang Xueer's kindness.

But for Jiang Xueer, who has always had a free-spirited personality, having an apprentice for the first time felt very novel, and she was still learning to be a good teacher.

Jiang Xue said, "After the camp closes, according to custom, the training officers should take the assassins they have trained back to their respective branches. I have some things to do recently, so you can take my token to your post and take over my duties."

Han Qianfei took the coin-shaped jade pendant from Jiang Xue'er and asked, "Can I do this?"

Jiang Xue waved her hand and said, "Being a boss is the simplest thing. As long as you don't interfere, you can manage things well."

Han Qianfei then said, "What I mean is... why me...?"

Han Qianfei's words were somewhat cryptic, but Jiang Xue'er understood them.

She said, "You're very good. I really consider you my apprentice."

Han Qianfei sensed something was off, as did Jiang Xueer; neither of them liked expressing emotions.

Han Qianfei changed the subject, saying, "Teacher, you're so young, yet you speak like an old man."

Jiang Xueer said, "I am 342 years old this year."

Han Qianfei: ...

The next day was the closing ceremony. The man in black reappeared and said a few meaningless words, congratulating everyone on officially becoming Deadpools and urging them to be grateful and contribute more to the organization.

Of course, the organization couldn't just rely on the gratitude of death row inmates; the life-binding Gu was the main event today.

This task was performed personally by the man in the black robe. His subordinate carried a box filled with smaller boxes, each of which had two compartments when opened.

There was a worm in each partition. The spider-like worm was a secondary Gu. After being swallowed, its densely packed legs would embed themselves into the flesh, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the host at any time.

That thing curled up like a silkworm is the main Gu, which doesn't need to be fed and can survive for two hundred years by absorbing magical elements.

The man in black robes personally fed the secondary Gu worms into the mouths of each of the death servants. Some of the death servants, unwilling to be controlled by others, attempted to bite the Gu worms to break them apart and try to get away with it.

The teeth broke, but the worms remained unharmed.

The man in black robes calmly said, "The secondary Gu of the Life-Binding Gu cannot be destroyed by anything below the level of a divine artifact. The primary Gu cannot withstand the stimulation of even a hair."

After the man in the black robe finished speaking, he carefully put away the main Gu and affixed a label to the box containing it, writing the corresponding branch and name of the Dead Servant.

After this incident, others stopped being foolish enough to stubbornly attack the secondary Gu. At most, they would try it once and then give up.

When it was Ye Hongren's turn, she swallowed the secondary Gu without hesitation.

Until Han Qianfei and Jiang Xue'er appeared, they snatched the box from the black-robed man's hand, opened it, took out the secondary Gu, and placed it in his hand.

The man in the black robe kept a close watch the whole time, afraid that something might go wrong.

Jiang Xueer complained again, "Are you making a big deal out of this? I'm just an ordinary person."

"The project was personally selected by the Pavilion Master. You and I cannot understand his plans, so the execution must be flawless."

Jiang Xue'er sighed and brought up the Pavilion Master again. What could she do?

Han Qianfei hesitated, holding the second Gu.

She said to Han Qianfei, "Swallow it. There's nothing I can do about it on Sanhu Island."

Han Qianfei was still unaware of the weight of those words, how domineering her teacher could be, or what kind of existence Sanhu Island held in this world.

Han Qianfei now only knows that his fate will be in someone else's hands, even though that person is a teacher who seems to treat her well.

The two had only known each other for half a month. You can know a person's face but not their heart. Besides, the teacher seemed carefree and easygoing. Who knows, he might lose the main Gu one day.

Most importantly, he is a time traveler, about to return to the present world. The secondary Gu cannot sense the main Gu, and there is a possibility that he will die on the spot.

He had another idea, and luckily Jiang Xue'er had told him about planting the Gu worm last night, otherwise he wouldn't have had time to think about it.

At this moment, large beads of sweat appeared on Han Qianfei's face.

Jiang Xueer continued to reassure her, "There are no other side effects, don't worry."

Han Qianfei finally put the secondary Gu into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

He wasn't hesitating just now; he was using all his strength to create a slight spatial displacement in the esophagus.

One wasn't enough. He was worried that the secondary Gu was too resilient, so he made another one, which led to his mental energy being completely depleted.

The secondary Gu slid down the esophagus into the stomach, and the helpless body below the divine artifact split into three at the moment of contact with the spatial displacement.

This is the power of space. It is the power of laws; any object that exists within space is subject to the constraints of spatial laws.

The man in black robes saw Han Qianfei swallow the secondary Gu, ordered him to open his mouth, and checked it several times before he was satisfied.

Han Qianfei stood motionless, not even daring to breathe too hard, for fear that his body would be affected by that slight spatial displacement.

At this moment, his esophagus had been pierced by a needle due to the slight movement, and it was burning with pain.

Finally, a minute later, in his perception, the space had completely returned to its original position.

There were only two small pinholes in the esophagus, which were nothing to worry about. Like accidentally swallowing a fish bone, they would probably heal in a day.

After the closing ceremony, the training officers led their people to the dock, but Jiang Xue'er hadn't moved yet.

She called Han Qianfei and Ye Hongren into her tent.

Han Qianfei could not discern either Jiang Xue'er's or Ye Hongren's strength, but he noticed that Ye Hongren was unusually obedient in front of Jiang Xue'er, a stark contrast to his usual frivolous demeanor.

Jiang Xue'er, with her legs crossed, said to Ye Hongren, "Do you know why you're still alive?"

Ye Hongren glanced at Han Qianfei and said, "Because of him."

"You are very smart. To have reached your level in physical training, you must have suffered a lot in the past. You were once a child of a wealthy family."

But now you only have one identity: Deadpool. A smart person like me shouldn't need me to explain further.

Ye Hongren nodded and said, "From today onwards, I will be your disciple's death servant."

Jiang Xue'er seemed quite pleased with Ye Hongren's understanding nature and continued, "Han Jianghe is a man full of vigor and passion..."

Ye Hongren said, "I will definitely abide by the rules and never do anything reckless..."

Jiang Xue'er laughed: "What I mean is, if you're not too conservative, you might as well help him, so he won't have to mess around with things in the middle of the night."

"Of course, as a woman myself, I won't make any demands on you."

Ye Hongren glanced at Han Qianfei, licked his lips, and said, "I understand, I will definitely take good care of your disciple in every way."

Han Qianfei said, "I'm still here!"

The tent suddenly started rattling in the wind, and Jiang Xue'er said, "Let's go."

Han Qianfei stepped out of the tent and saw something beyond his comprehension slowly falling.

It was a huge X-shaped wooden vehicle, with four protruding wooden beams topped with floating stone-like objects that looked rougher but were larger.

The strong wind was blowing from the four stone slabs, providing buoyancy to the whole structure.

At the very center of X is an egg-shaped wooden cabin with windows on both sides.

Han Qianfei remembered a sentence from a book he had read before: "The other world is like a world of swords and magic in an online game, but it also has fascinating magical technology."

Han Qianfei and Ye Hongren boarded an airship and flew towards the Mithril Pavilion branch in Batan City, Lianqiong Province, Qingbai Kingdom.

Jiang Xueer went to take care of her own business.

Inside the airship, Han Qianfei sat on a fur-covered seat and opened the supernatural panel:
