"Illusion technique." Feng Yi added, "What you saw were all mental illusions."

"I've never heard Brother Feng mention it, are you also an X Ability User?"

"Who doesn't have some trump card when they're out in the world? Be sure to keep it a secret for me."

Seeing Zi Yu nodding and believing, Feng Yi wiped away non-existent sweat and hurried down the mountain.

Zi Yu immediately set up a tent and then tried to mobilize her inner strength to resist the winter cold. During this time, every second was a consumption for her.

When she opened her eyes, several hours had passed. She didn't notice Feng Yi's return, and there were a few pitiful frozen oranges placed beside her. Even though they were frozen, they were still food. So, with tears in her eyes, Zi Yu quickly started eating her breakfast, sniffling…

Meanwhile, with the Third Rhythm executed, Feng Yi arrived at the capital of Weibang. According to the agreement with Reiko, he didn't mind spending some time here because he had questions to ask.

Firstly, what Reiko was best at was defense. In other words, if Reiko was a Mental Ability User, her ability would inevitably be water-related. After all, Feng Yi was not an ability user himself and would be at a disadvantage in such professional fields.

As a warrior, he could guide Zi Yu as a pathfinder, teaching not through fighting and killing, but through fundamentally correcting Zi Yu's erroneous deviations.

As the saying goes, a master leads you to the door, but practice is in your own hands. If he were to change to a water-type physique, Feng Yi wouldn't have many ideas. Just because he could tap into Zi Yu's potential doesn't mean he can teach the same attributes himself.

Most of Feng Yi's moves were self-created. He had only learned three kinds from others: Huang Zhennan's gun technique, Storm Stance, and Storm Falling Blade. Excluding the first kind, which he occasionally used when operating mechanized warriors and adding his own innovations, he rarely used the others.

His current level was already very high, and he wouldn't repeat the roads others had walked. Those so-called extraordinarily talented individuals were actually just ordinary in Feng Yi's eyes.

If one cannot even create abilities and always follows the paths treaded by predecessors, such a person will not change the world.

Those who can change the world's structure are not those so-called high-sounding experts and scholars. They just habitually continue using the wealth accumulated by their predecessors without any creativity themselves.

"Experts and scholars are all rubbish," was a common saying of Blade Warrior. They rake in loads of gray income but contribute nothing to society. Only scientific geniuses will be remembered forever. It seems that Zhuang Zhou's ancient adage still holds true today.

With thoughts flipping, Feng Yi's movements paused slightly, and his gaze shifted to the window. It should be her.

At this moment, Reiko, in casual attire, was walking gracefully along the street... Her long hair draped over her shoulders, her demeanor gentle and her exquisite outfit fully showcasing a literary feminine vibe. However, was she discreet on the way to avoid being recognized?

Upon seeing this, Feng Yi's eyes flashed with a rare sense of amusement. Her character really didn't match her top-level white attire title, being so reserved, it was truly... amusing to watch.

Reiko was clearly familiar with this café; she nonchalantly pushed open the door and her gaze swept around, instantly recognizing Feng Yi in the corner with a trace of surprise in her eyes!

Truly, reputation does not compare to a meeting, and a meeting surpasses what one hears.

No wonder everyone says that the extraordinary Feng Yi is shockingly brilliant, with poems praising the Divine Wind. Today, at first sight, his mere presence can make one feel a liking, making one want to get close and understand everything about him.

Reiko did her best to calm her inner surprise and walked to Feng Yi's side. "Um, excuse me…"

"Please sit. I am Feng Yi." Feng Yi said with a smile, using a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Sorry for the intrusion." Reiko carefully sat down. "I really can't believe that someone like you is so easy-going."

"Uh… Am I?" Feng Yi was momentarily stunned. How did he sound like a monster, he thought as he pushed the menu toward Reiko. "Order whatever you want to drink."

"Okay."

Reiko nodded, her eyes looking at the menu, occasionally sneaking glances at Feng Yi, which made Feng Yi feel like he was being spied on and observed.

Soon the milk tea was served, and the two finally started a conversation, with Reiko speaking first, "Every time I spar with you, I learn so much. Meeting you in this way, I feel honored."

Reiko didn't look at him, as if she were stating a long-hidden matter. In fact, she hadn't imagined that Feng Yi would reveal his true self even during the time when challenging the Revenge Shadow Rider.

Feng Yi took the opportunity to light a cigarette, took a puff, then playfully blew the smoke ring toward Reiko until it circled around her head.

"Miss Reiko can call me Feng Yi. Being too courteous feels unusual — hey, would you like one? It's the Red Grape brand."

Reiko frowned, looking at Feng Yi indifferently. As far as she knew, Feng Yi was not in the habit of smoking. However, at this time, her gaze finally met Feng Yi's, her apricot eyes unblinkingly stared at him.

Feng Yi gestured, offering a cigarette, "What are you looking at me for? Look at the cigarette."

Reiko suddenly chuckled... This person was quite interesting. Talking to him wasn't as awkward as expected. "Sorry, I don't smoke."

Regretfully withdrawing the cigarette, Feng Yi said, "Actually, I can basically guess your reasons for finding me."

Reiko's face flushed crimson to her ears. Truly extraordinary Feng Yi, even guessing this made her little face hard to maintain.

Feng Yi could certainly guess. As a white attire, especially a top-level one, her motive for finding him was likely a challenge. Moreover, Reiko's first words already subtly hinted, stating that fighting with him benefited her greatly, so there was no need to guess. It was probably to exchange contact for future challenges.

"Really…?"

With a firm tone, Feng Yi said, "Of course. This is my Heavenly Communication, if you don't mind." Feng Yi generously handed over his LeaDex, showing sincerity through action.

Reiko's slender fingers gently twirled her dress hem, her cheeks flushed beautifully... After all, as Weibang's darling, her single status was widely known, and the other party... truly a considerate, handsome man, with pleasant conversation. Thus, the two exchanged contact information.

At this moment, the dialogue between the two was completely on different channels, but this did not hinder normal communication between the perfect CP.

"Ahem, besides, there's also something I want to consult."

"Please, go ahead."

Reiko timidly replied, much akin to a delicate maiden.

"I wonder if Miss Reiko is a Mental Ability User?"

"Sort of, but my mental power is severely lacking."

"That's it. If I'm not mistaken, your best ability should be water-based?"

"Yes."

"As expected." Feng Yi snapped his fingers and said, "You saw the interview yesterday, I have a sister currently in practice. She is a water ability user, so I would like to consult you in this area."

"Although I'm good at defense, my understanding of superpowers is not deep; my sister was a genius who left a lot of notes."

"Sister…"

"Yes, Lily, who died in battle five years ago."

Feng Yi was taken aback, only then remembering that Reiko had a sister named Lily, who also fought alongside her but unfortunately died in the peak arena. "Sorry, for reminding you of the past."

"Don't worry about it, it's been a long time."

"So, may I refer to some materials?"

Upon hearing this, Reiko blushed again, her small hands shyly clasped as her heart raced... Already at this point? The progress was too fast, hardly spoken a few words and wanting to come over to review materials at her place…

"Sure."
