"...It hurts so much...Tingyun...It's Phantylia...I have to...go back..."
In the darkness, Kenta's consciousness was somewhat blurry, like a small boat that had lost its direction, drifting in endless chaos.
"Who am I? Where am I? What was I supposed to do?"
He felt his consciousness continuously sinking, and even his thoughts became increasingly sluggish. His mind kept replaying the scenes before he was burned by fire.
"Why...can Phantylia use my Black Fire...What did she...do...No, it seems like I did something...I think I put something into her body before...Why did I do that before I lost my memory..."
Inside the cultivation tank, Kenta frowned deeply, his lips constantly moving, as if he was saying something.
"...Bai...That's right...I need to...save...Baiheng!"
Kenta woke up. He suddenly opened his eyes.
"Swish!"
In that instant, a dense ball of Black Fire erupted, engulfing the entire cultivation tank, and then, in the next second, Kenta stood steadily on the ground.
"Phantylia! I'll bring you destruction...No, where did this bring me? Is this still the Xianzhou?"
Kenta's roar stopped halfway. The reason was simple—he casually glanced at his surroundings and realized he seemed to be in some kind of laboratory. The highly futuristic facilities around him made him feel like he was no longer on the Luofu.
His expression became a little bewildered as he carefully considered where things had gone wrong.
"Hiss—, how did Phantylia burn me? Was I passively teleported by Black Flame..."
"..."
"Pfft!"
Kenta couldn't hold back.
"Seriously, Sister Phantylia. I gave you a chance, but you're useless. You think you can play with this Black Fire?"
He chuckled twice, then seriously re-evaluated the current situation.
"Hmm, my top priority now is to figure out where I am and find a way to quickly return to the Luofu, but before that..."
Kenta looked at his naked body.
"I need to get myself some clothes first."
His lower body felt chilly, making Xuan feel very insecure. Fortunately, on the experimental table within his line of sight, lay a neatly folded set of Xianzhou attire.
After confirming it was men's clothing, Kenta put it on immediately. And surprisingly, the clothes fit perfectly, almost as if they were tailor-made for him—the ancient-style black tight-fitting suit was embroidered with cloud patterns, with light armor designs on parts like the forearms and legs. The occasional red accents, combined with Kenta's dark red eyes, made him appear exceptionally handsome.
"Oh, you're awake? A little earlier than I expected."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar female voice came from behind him.
"!!!"
A chill ran down Kenta's spine. He turned and immediately threw a powerful hook punch.
"I really hate it when someone stands behind me right now!"
His fist stopped just in time by the woman's cheek. The powerful hook punch generated a sonic boom as it was thrown, and the fierce wind from the punch blew her ink-like hair to the side. The hem of her light blue cheongsam swayed slightly. Even facing such a formidable strike, her beautiful light blue eyes remained calm, not even blinking once.
"Hmm, very energetic, it seems you've recovered well."
She spoke, her voice like a clear spring.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, are you saying we're currently at that...uh...Herta Space Station?"
Beside the experimental table, Kenta and the woman who called herself Ruan Mei sat opposite each other.
"Sigh."
Ruan Mei sighed helplessly.
"It's Herta Space Station."
She corrected Kenta's mistaken name.
Kenta nodded, indicating he understood. After a moment of silence, he asked again.
"Could I trouble Ms. Ruan Mei to explain the situation to me in detail?"
Ruan Mei unhurriedly took a small bite of the plum blossom cake in her hand. She looked up at Kenta, her delicate face seemingly devoid of emotion.
"You suddenly appeared while I was conducting an experiment."
She said indifferently.
"At the time, I only saw a flash of black fire, and then you appeared on the floor of my laboratory. You had a very large wound on your chest, and there was even the power of destruction inside the wound, but..."
Ruan Mei's words suddenly paused, as if she was thinking about something.
"But what?"
Kenta asked directly.
Ruan Mei heard this and didn't hesitate much.
"That destructive power didn't damage your body; on the contrary, your body seemed to be absorbing it. In fact, I thought I wouldn't even need to intervene; your body would probably heal itself after some time."
Kenta:
"???"
He carefully felt his body and discovered that a surge of power had appeared within him at some unknown time. Even his Black Flame was several times stronger than before.
Kenta:
"..."
"Ha, isn't this ridiculous? So Sister Phantylia was here to give me experience. That's great! You destroy Emanators, don't you? I'll use your favorite destruction to destroy you."
He also felt some memories had been added to his mind. Not many, just some key information, but he knew one thing very clearly—he absolutely had to save someone.
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, Ruan Mei's words sounded again, attracting Kenta's attention.
"A while ago, I met someone in a similar situation to you, but she doesn't have your abilities and is still unconscious."
As she spoke, she tilted her head, signaling Kenta to look to his left-rear.
Kenta turned his head.
Kenta was silent.
Kenta ignited his Black Flame.
The reason was simple—the woman who had dug out his heart before he fainted was now quietly lying in the cultivation tank.
Ruan Mei's eyes subtly shifted upon seeing Kenta's reaction.
"What? Do you two have a grudge?"
Kenta was silent for a moment, then extinguished his Black Fire.
"No, that's not her."
He sighed. Based on what Phantylia had said when he fell, the person before him was the real Tingyun, whose identity had been usurped.
"By the way, how much time has passed since I arrived here?"
Kenta suddenly asked again.
Ruan Mei smoothed the hair by her ear.
"Approximately nine system hours."
"!!!"
Kenta suddenly stood up. He stared into the woman's eyes, his expression serious.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go."
As soon as he lifted his foot, Ruan Mei stopped him.
"Go? Even taking the fastest airship from the Space Station to the Luofu would take three hours."
Kenta paused, he heard the unspoken meaning in the woman's words.
"You mean..."
Ruan Mei showed a serene smile. This was the first time Kenta had seen the woman display an emotion other than calmness.
"I can help you, but you also have to do me a favor."
A hint of wariness arose in Kenta's heart.
"Tell me."
Ruan Mei didn't care about the man's guarded look. She put the plum blossom cake in her hand into her mouth and picked up a nearby handkerchief to gently wipe her lips.
"It's simple. I'm very interested in your body and your abilities. It's fine for you to return to the Luofu now, but after the matter is concluded, you'll have to come back here and cooperate with me for a few small experiments."
Kenta weighed the pros and cons and finally nodded. He had no choice; he had to return as soon as possible.
"This woman can't possibly dissect me, right?"
Kenta thought to himself.
Ruan Mei smiled slightly again when she saw him agree. She pointed to the cultivation tank behind the man.
"Then now, please pay some interest first. I suspect that your characteristic of absorbing destruction is related to your unique Black Fire. Could you transfer a wisp of Black Flame to that Foxian over there? I need some detailed observation data."
Kenta didn't dally upon hearing this. He got up and walked towards the cultivation tank where Tingyun was.
Looking at her familiar yet unfamiliar face, and the naked body of the Foxian lady, Kenta placed his hand on the transparent glass.
Slowly, an extremely tiny wisp of Black Fire passed through the cultivation tank's isolation and gradually merged into Tingyun's body.
"Is that enough now?"
He looked back at Ruan Mei.
"Yes, let's go."
Ruan Mei, seeing her objective achieved, also stood up and led Kenta out of the laboratory.
"..."
Shortly after they left, Tingyun in the cultivation tank frowned slightly, then relaxed again.
