Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Always Have to Test Out New Equipment

Enormous waves were continuously being swept up, crashing against the coastline of Pradamia. The ground trembled incessantly, causing screams and fear to spread throughout the small town.

"No good, the people in Chinatown carry detection tools that are derivatives of phantom objects, and there are a lot of them. Even if we could bypass one or two, we would be quickly discovered."

Old Li, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. The exhaustion in his eyes was evident, suggesting he had once again used his supernatural abilities to probe into Chinatown.

"So what’s the situation in the end? Why is Chinatown under martial law? Could it be that the ’door’ is also in Chinatown?"

Hearing Impermanence’s doubts, Qing Ming shook his head and said, "It’s not just Chinatown that’s under martial law, but all the gangs are being very tight on security. I just came back from the Westin Gang’s territory, and the controls there are even stricter than here."

"It looks like these gangs are all quite formidable," Feng Xue murmured under her breath, thinking about the rumors she had heard around the city these days, she could guess a thing or two.

"Agent Wars, or should we say, ’experimental field’?"

"That sort of thing is all well and good, but the real issue is what we should do now," Lu Gen said in a calm tone, eyes fixed on Old Li, who spread his hands and replied:

"The best thing for now is to use the Current World Rules to transfer ourselves elsewhere first, and come back once things have calmed down here. It’s a good time as everyone has also acquired the entry for ’Yan Country People Skilled in Kung Fu.’ Whether we hide out for a while or find a place to learn kung fu, let’s all decide for ourselves."

"That’s all we can do," Impermanence sighed, pulling out a tall hat inscribed with "Profit at First Sight" from seemingly nowhere and placing it on his head. He grasped a mourning staff in his hand, swung it hard, and then he was gone.

"Descent is such a hassle... wow, what a coincidence?" Qing Ming hadn’t finished speaking when his expression suddenly changed, and then, like a wisp of breeze, he vanished entirely.

Lu Gen gave Old Li a deep look and then turned to Feng Xue. Without a word, he suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only Old Li and Feng Xue staring at each other.

"Did you plan all this?" Feng Xue asked, eyebrows raised. Old Li, however, showed a slick smile, shook his head, and said:

"How could that be! If I had that kind of ability, and knew that ’door’ was also on this side, I wouldn’t have come here no matter what!"

"Heh." Feng Xue gave Old Li a deep look. Before, he wouldn’t have thought his companion capable of predicting such events because even if one could get the specific location of the ’door’ from the soldiers’ mouths, Old Li wouldn’t be able to precisely find the other door leading to this city.

But after knowing his Kaidan was "Qigong Master," that kind of thinking fell apart.

This was a superpower that could be seen as a "superpower conglomerate." From a certain perspective, as long as one could think of it, it could definitely be done.

Although now the Kaidan should indeed have weakened, sometimes, power doesn’t need to be too strong.

For example, a simple prediction such as "This door will bring me closer to my target," involving oneself, could replace a broader divination like "Which door will lead to Pradamia?" The only problem was just the need to try a few more times, and this, in itself, could easily be achieved through bargaining or dissatisfaction with the price.

So the question arose, if he had any plans of his own, he could just come down himself, why bring a group too?

Was it to avoid being too conspicuous?

Or perhaps, were there conditions that could only be fulfilled by bringing a group over?

Feng Xue immediately thought of her own "Compelled by Circumstances Physique," a curse-like trait brought about by phantom objects that caused her to encounter adventures most people would never experience in their entire lives.

If these people all had phantom objects or similar traits...

Feng Xue’s gaze towards Old Li sharpened, but in the end, she just shook her head and said:

"Nevermind, your plans are your own business, but let me just ask, your plans—they won’t affect me negatively, right?"

"Of course not, we’ve signed a notarized contract. It’s not just about causing harm, it’s also impossible for us to let you suffer any loss of interest," Old Li spread his hands, his smile still slick as ever. Feng Xue neither agreed nor disagreed but simply nodded lightly in response.

"Well, that’s good to hear. Speaking of which, I should be able to secure the Residence Right after the upcoming challenge month. Our contract was that once I obtain the Residence Right, I’d allow you to stay for a year. But if I grant you permission and you don’t show up, that’s not my problem!"

"You’re that confident? I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you then!" Old Li still didn’t reveal any more of his plans, and Feng Xue didn’t linger any longer. However, he didn’t immediately activate the Current World Rules to go to Yan Country but instead walked towards the coast.

"Hey! Don’t go getting yourself killed! Even if you have a phantom item with a special effect against demon-like Kaidan, you still need to get close enough to use it! Don’t be fooled by his dopey appearance; he can control his size (the legend of the Sea Bishop varies greatly in size, with the smallest being just six feet)!"

Listening to Old Li’s advice, Feng Xue simply waved his hand and said:

"No worries, I just want to see just how powerful my full-force strike really is. As for being unable to defeat it, don’t I have the Current World Rules?"

"But..." Old Li wanted to say something more but saw that Feng Xue had already disappeared, leaving him no choice but to shake his head and say:

"Forget it, the Sea Bishop doesn’t possess that kind of Power anyway. I’ll tell him about the limitations of the Current World Rules later."

...

After leaving Chinatown, Feng Xue moved towards the seaside. Ever since he obtained the Squeezing Driver, he had been harboring a small doubt about his power.

He had initially planned to test it out on the guards when climbing the tower, but now that an old tale Kaidan had appeared before him, he couldn’t resist the urge to go for it.

It was the same as when you collect the ultimate Equipment in a game; you just can’t help but want to test your skills against a high-level boss.

Thanks to his Complete Heaven Shifting Star Skill, he had excellent footwork. In just a few minutes, he reached the rooftop of a twenty-something-story high-rise building, the lower half of which had already been submerged in seawater. Many people who hadn’t managed to evacuate in time were now hiding on the upper floors, praying that the building was Sturdy enough.

Such high-rise buildings were not uncommon in the area, and Feng Xue could clearly see those who were behind the glass windows, staring unbelievably at the giant figure leading the charge along the coastline.

"Phew... the pressure is intense!"

Feng Xue reached behind and pulled out the Squeezing Driver, which felt like plastic.

As it attached to his abdomen, straps shot out from both sides, securely fastening it around Feng Xue’s waist. At the same time, a thrilling voice rang out—

"SCLASH DRIVER!"

"With so many spectators, should I be glad I didn’t go for the deflate dragon template?"

A smile played on the corners of Feng Xue’s mouth. As the Orca Power activated, a jelly bottle marked with the orca symbol was slotted in.

"WHALE JELLY!"

Following the identification sound effect, Feng Xue placed one hand on the lever, twisted his waist to the side, extended his left index finger towards the ground in a flamboyant pose, and declared:

"Transform!"

As he pushed down the lever, a metallic and plastic support frame unfolded. A beaker-like structure, along with the gel, rose and enveloped Feng Xue’s body.

"Crushing~ Flowing~ Overflowing~~"

The gel transformed into a virtual image of a killer whale and crashed heavily onto Feng Xue, turning into a deep blue pattern resembling ocean waves.

"KILLER WHALE IN WEIGHT-D (Orca Power-Deep Sea Compression Form)"

"POOOOOOWER!"
