"Molten Core System activated!"
BUZZ!
Xiao Xuanye felt a searing heat in his chest as countless sophisticated machines inside him whirred to life, making him feel an overwhelming surge of power. Two thrusters appeared beneath his feet. As jets of white-hot flame erupted, he lifted off the ground and began flying through the air!
"Hahaha, I can fly!" Xiao Xuanye laughed wildly, incredibly pleased with himself.
Flying—or more precisely, flying under my own power—has always been an unattainable dream for ordinary humans. And today, I, Xiao Xuanye, made it a reality! Even if I'm not doing it all on my own… it still feels incredible!
As he flew, he familiarized himself with his new strength. When he neared the mysterious cave, he even deliberately plunged straight down.
BOOM!
He smashed a huge crater into the hard rock below.
"Holy crap!"
"Old Xiao is incredible!"
"I'm so jealous!"
