The sky became clear again, and only the remaining traces of the huge energy storm in the center of the arena and the diffuse smoke and dust indicated the brief and thrilling confrontation that had just taken place.

"It's over... Looks like Lord Kagami has won."

Chaska let out a long sigh, her tense body relaxing. Even though she was just a spectator, the oppressive feeling brought by the powerful man still left her with a lingering fear.

"That's great!" Paimon patted his chest, still feeling a lingering fear. "I was scared to death! I hope there won't be any more accidents next time!"

Perhaps Paimon's sincere prayer really worked, or perhaps the God of Fire's quick resolution of the battle frightened the villains.

The journey to the Hanging Wood People tribe was extremely smooth, without any twists and turns or abysses.

Chapter 65 An Accident in the Video Store

Just as Ying and Paimeng and their group hurried to the Xuanmu tribe with firm conviction, preparing to use the "Spiritual Marrow Stone" to salvage the lost ancient name of Katsina...

New Ailidu, inside the video store on Liufen Street.

On the second floor, Zhe's bedroom was filled with a faint smell of burning and dry powder fire extinguisher.

Zhe himself was standing in the middle of the room, looking a little awkward, holding a half-empty fire extinguisher in his hand, staring blankly at the front - where there used to be a comfortable sofa.

Now all that remains is a solitary, blackened rack, with some charred remains of stuffing and a thin layer of white powder scattered around it.

"Tsk..." Zhe smacked his lips softly, frowning slightly.

He just wanted to try to control the orange-red flame dancing at his fingertips more finely, to see if he could control it to the millimeter like lighting a cigarette.

As soon as the thought came to mind, a tongue of fire far more violent than expected shot out and instantly licked the armrest of the sofa.

Even though he reacted quickly and picked up the fire extinguisher from the corner and sprayed it hard, he was unable to save the poor sofa.

"Sure enough, although the power brought by the devil fruit is strong, precise control... is much more difficult than expected." He muttered to himself with a hint of annoyance.

This ability is useful, but now it cannot be retracted and extended freely, and it is simply a mobile fire hazard indoors.

Meanwhile, the situation in the first-floor lounge wasn't much better.

Ling stood in the middle of the room, blinking innocently as she looked at the sofa in front of her that was completely covered in a thick layer of ice and sparkled crystal clear under the light.

The cold air was so pervasive that even the surrounding floor was covered with a thin layer of white frost, and the temperature of the entire room dropped by several degrees.

"Uh... I just wanted to see if I could instantly chill my hot coffee..."

Ling muttered softly and blew on her fingers, trying to dispel the coolness that remained on her fingertips.

Her original intention was to save the time of waiting for the coffee to cool down, but when the power surged out, she failed to control the range and intensity and ended up in a "deep freeze".

"The ambient temperature has dropped abnormally, and the humidity has risen abnormally. There is a risk of freezing. Recommendation: Turn on the dehumidification mode and raise the room temperature."

Fairy's signature electronic-sounding prompt sounded at the right moment, and it seemed to be trying to analyze this extraordinary scene.

Fairy's core processor is running at high speed, or in other words, it has been in a state of "logic overload" recently.

Ever since the "Second Assistant" had problems with his eyes, he has always witnessed the two of them creating food and tools out of thin air from time to time, and even some small gadgets that he cannot recognize.

Space equipment? This concept is in Fairy's database, but it's in the novel, not in a scientific paper.

And ever since its "master" and "second assistant" ate the fruit covered with strange spiral patterns in front of it, each with a fearless look on their faces, Fairy's "common sense" was broken once again.

Watching the flames dancing in the master's hand, watching the coffee cup freeze in the second assistant's hand...

This is completely beyond Fairy's cognitive model based on the laws of physics and local science!

It has even secretly increased its power supply recently, frantically scanning New Eridu's databases, secret forums, and even some urban legends.

It was trying to find a reasonable explanation - was it some new type of etheric adaptive awakening? Or an unrecorded cutting-edge prosthetic transformation? Or... some alien technology it couldn't understand?

As a result, nothing was found.

The scene before him could only be described with words like "magic" or "superpowers," which were categorized as "fictional settings" in his program logic.

Fairy's voice came from the speaker, with a rare electronic tone that could be interpreted as "confusion" or even "frustration":

"Dear Assistant Number Two, based on ongoing observation and data analysis, Fairy has detected significant abnormal fluctuations in both your and your master's physiological parameters and energy radiation patterns that cannot be explained by existing models."

"Especially the low-temperature manipulation abilities you demonstrated, and the high-temperature generation abilities displayed by the master. Fairy has exhausted all available information resources in New Ailidu, but has still not been able to establish a valid correlation model. Requesting information sharing: How did you and the master acquire this... non-standard energy manipulation ability?"

Ling looked at Fairy's serious expression when she asked the question, and thinking of its recent sneaky behavior of increasing electricity consumption (she could see the bill clearly), she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

We are used to bickering with each other all the time, so it is rare to see this Fairy "lower its stance" and ask for an explanation.

"Alright, alright, since you're so sincere..." Ling crossed her arms, a sly smile on her lips, "It's not impossible to tell you. It's very simple! It's because we ate that fruit!"

"..." The Fairy on the screen seemed to pause for a moment. "Dear Assistant Number Two, please tell me more useful information, such as the material composition, mechanism of action, and energy source of this fruit? How does it break through the physical limitations of organisms and enable controllable energy release?..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Ling quickly interrupted Fairy's long analysis that was about to begin.

If Fairy were a human, she would definitely smile like Ling just now, as if her plan had succeeded.

"The fruit is just an ordinary... uh, a specialty from another world! Yes! It's called a 'devil fruit'! Anyone who eats it can gain all kinds of superpowers, like fire and ice, just two of them." She tried her best to explain with a realistic and concise "setting".

"A specialty from another world? A devil fruit?" Fairy's electronic voice had a rare, noticeable hitch. "Dear Second Assistant, the concept of 'another world' lacks empirical support and contradicts my current physical model."

"And the naming of 'Devil Fruits' is highly similar to fictional literary settings. Dear Second Assistant, are you entering test data or making humorous expressions? Perhaps Fairy's humor recognition module needs an update..."

Seeing Fairy's puzzled look, Ling's smirk became more obvious, and her shoulders shook with laughter.

"Hahaha! Look, look, I'm telling the truth and you don't believe me! I'm not lying to you, this fruit really is from the 'other world'!"

She deliberately emphasized the three words "different world".

Fairy fell silent, the light on the screen flickering regularly, as if engaged in a fierce internal calculation conflict.

Ling shrugged helplessly: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, the ability is real, and we ate the fruit."

Ling ignored Fairy and went upstairs to find Zhe.

"Brother, we should go to the outer ring..." Ling pushed open the door of Zhe's bedroom, but before she could finish her words, she was choked by the scene in front of her.

Chapter 66 Ling: Look at me getting away with it, a creative March 7th

The charred sofa frame, the dry powder all over the floor, the lingering smell of burning in the air...

And Zhe, who was holding a fire extinguisher with a slightly stiff expression.

"Brother!" Ling's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"You! How dare you use that ability in your bedroom?! Aren't you afraid you'll set the entire video store on fire?! We worked so hard to get it open! You're so brave!"

She pointed at the wreckage and stamped her foot in anger.

Zhe looked at his sister's angry expression and knew that he was in the wrong. He rarely refuted her. He just put down the fire extinguisher silently and nodded awkwardly.

"It's my fault. I didn't control myself well. I won't use it indoors anymore." There was a hint of regret and self-reflection in his voice.

He quickly began to clean up the scene, his movements quick but a little depressed.

Ling looked at her brother's rare humiliation and felt both angry and amused, and her anger subsided a lot.

She helped to pack up a little, and the two of them prepared to go downstairs.

As soon as he reached the stairs, Zhe couldn't help shivering. "Hiss... The temperature is not high today, why is the air conditioner on so cold? Isn't electricity free? Fairy is a big electricity consumer..."

He complained and subconsciously wrapped his coat around him.

Halfway through his words, he seemed to suddenly remember something, paused, and turned abruptly to look at Ling who was following behind him, his eyes full of suspicion.

Ling felt uneasy when he looked at her, and she immediately put on a sweet smile, put her hands together, and used her sister's special trick of acting coquettishly.

"Oh! Brother! No need to say more, I get it! Be careful next time, I will definitely pay attention next time!" She blinked her eyes, trying to get away with it.

Looking at his sister's appearance, and thinking about the "masterpiece" he had created upstairs, Zhe sighed helplessly and could not say any words of blame.

It's like the pot calling the kettle black when you're fifty steps along the way. No one is any better than anyone else.

Well, this store can’t be opened today.

The two men reached a tacit consensus, quickly locked the store door, and turned over the "Open" sign at the door to reveal the eye-catching "Closed" sign.

Then, he took Ies with him, started the two motorcycles parked in the garage behind the store, drove away from the noisy neon lights of Liufen Street, and rushed towards the outer ring area, which was relatively desolate and more suitable for them to "cause destruction" and practice their abilities.

They were on their way to Wildfire Town to retrieve the equipment they had left behind, so it was perfect for them to practice their skills in the open area of ​​the outer ring.

In the video store's lounge, only Fairy was left silently trying to understand the answer that made her logic a little confused - "Devil Fruit from Another World".

Just as Zhe and Ling were trying out their abilities in the video store, in the observation car of the Starry Sky Train.

Dan Heng said solemnly, "I have to go to the Shen Ce Mansion as soon as possible. General Jing Yuan needs to see those things as soon as possible."

What he was referring to were naturally the Concentrating Spirit Pill, the Ice Heart Technique and the Qingling Grass seeds, which were the core materials related to the solution to the Demonic Yin Body of the Immortal Boat.

"Yeah, Danheng, go quickly!" March Seven waved his hand, his attention obviously drifting elsewhere.

Xing nodded carelessly and said vaguely, "Go ahead. Remember to say hello to Jing Yuan for me. By the way, ask him if he has a fire-attributed sword. Borrow one for me. I'll return it to him as soon as I find one..."

Dan Heng shook his head helplessly and quickly left the car.

As Danheng's figure disappeared behind the car door, only Xing and Sanyueqi were left in the car.

Xing's eyes fell on the "Fire Dance Tornado" sword manual that she had placed on the table. Although she had a detailed sword manual in her mind, it was still more ceremonial to have the physical book!

She rubbed her hands together, looking ready for a big fight: "Alright! Now it's time for my savior, Ah Xing, to practice!"

Then she looked at Sanyueqi, who was also eager to try, and added, "Oh, by the way, Sanyue, can you lend me the glass sword you received when you became my disciple? You have two of them! My sword skills have to be decent, right?!"

Sanyueqi was straightforward. With a wave of her hand, one of the two swords appeared out of thin air and landed steadily in front of Xing. "Here, I'll lend it to you! Be careful with it. Although I don't use it often, I always maintain it!"

"Thank you!" Xing picked up the "Glass Sword". It felt cool in her hand and the sword was light and agile. It was indeed more suitable for practicing sword moves than the heavy fire spear she was used to.

She weighed it twice with satisfaction, then couldn't wait to open the "Fire Dance Tornado" sword manual and read it through first.

At this moment, San Yueqi's attention was completely attracted by the [Sheep Talisman] in his palm, which was engraved with an abstract goat pattern.

Her little face was a mixture of excitement and a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

The previous item description said that this thing can allow people to see souls and use the power of souls...

"Soul... ghosts are also souls, right?" Various images of green-faced and fang-toothed ghosts emerged uncontrollably in San Yue Qi's mind, and he shuddered subconsciously.

She quickly shook her head, trying to dispel these terrible thoughts: "Don't be afraid! This is a train! Pam, Uncle Yang, Sister Ji Zi, and Xing are here! It's very safe! Yes! It's definitely safe!"

After encouraging himself, San Yueqi took a deep breath, held the sheep talisman tightly in both hands, concentrated his mind, and carefully guided his thoughts to stimulate its power.

hum-

The talisman emitted a soft white light, instantly enveloping March 7.

She felt her body lighten, as if she had broken free from some restraints, and an unprecedented sense of lightness spread over her.

But out of fear of the "unknown", she closed her eyes tightly, fearing that she would see something she shouldn't see as soon as she opened her eyes.

"thump."

The sound of a body falling clearly reached her "ears".

"?!" San Yueqi's heart suddenly jumped into her throat. What happened? Who fell? Summoning the greatest courage she had in her life, she slowly, extremely slowly turned around, and then, little by little, as if in slow motion, she opened her eyes.

The scene before her petrified her instantly!

I saw herself - the lovely "March Seventh", lying quietly on the sofa beside me, her chest rising and falling slightly, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Ah——!!!" A scream loud enough to shatter glass burst out from March Seven's mouth, filled with extreme terror and disbelief!

She looked at "herself" on the sofa, then looked down at her translucent, glowing "hands", and a huge panic instantly overwhelmed her.

"I'm dead?! I just cast a spell and died right there?!"

"Is this a conspiracy by the chat group? Is it finally going to attack us?!"

"Wow... I haven't had enough of my pioneering journey! I haven't had enough of Pam's cooking! I haven't regained my memory yet..."

All kinds of bizarre and terrifying speculations flashed through her little head. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more desperate she became.

Chapter 67: Another attempt on March 7

She fluttered around in the carriage like a headless fly, her transparent body trying in vain to grab Xing's arm and beg for help: "Xing! Xing! Look at me! Help, Xing!"
