This... although it's absurd, it still sounds somewhat reasonable. However, everyone understands reason, but as a human, he will not just sit and wait for death. "It looks like I must have a fight with you."

"A fight, with your current body?"

"What about it?"

"Hahahaha..." Upon hearing this, 'Bizarre' let out an inexplicable sneer, "If you were still alive, I would admit I'd be somewhat wary of you, but what do you think your current body is capable of? That's right, I forgot to tell you, that punch just now really caught me off guard. Although I don't know how you managed to get close to me, at best it consumed less than one-millionth of my energy."

One-millionth, is that so merciless? Feng Yi was shocked internally upon hearing this, but he did not let it show. It was very likely Bizarre's bluff. He shook his head and chuckled: "Don't speak so soon, how would you know without trying?"

"Is that so? We might as well change the game then."

"Change the game?"

"Yes, after all, you are a special existence to me. It would be too boring to fight move by move. Come at me with all your strength, I won't dodge."

Feng Yi was stunned...

"What, you don't dare? Or have you also noticed the key to the problem?"

"Indeed, just talking about consumption, I likely can't outlast you."

"Hahahaha... Truly worthy of being Feng Yi. Even with your current spirit, even if you were to hit me, our magnetic fields would merely neutralize and annihilate each other—you know that physical attacks are of no use to me, and you know you can't outlast me, so what will you do next?"

At this moment, 'Bizarre' seemed like a neighborly older brother giving him advice, confidently putting his hands on his shoulders and watching Feng Yi while casually saying: "Run away? That's a good suggestion. Of course, it assumes you can escape and put enough distance between us. With your abilities, there should be a ten percent success rate."

"Thank you for your advice, the problem indeed is a bit tricky, I need to think it over."

"You can do whatever you like, I'm not in a hurry." Bizarre spread his hands, indicating he had plenty of time.

Having heard him say this, Feng Yi's unease finally settled. It seemed that Bizarre was indeed wary of him, luckily unaware that he had mastered the Third Mystery—a skill that allowed great leaps.

Meanwhile, at the northern airport of Alpha, the Blade Warrior and his team had finished two days of preparations and were ready to embark.

Due to the unpredictable nature of the journey ahead, they didn't bring anyone who lacked combat abilities. Four people were accompanying the Blade Warrior: Mengdie, Roland, Sky Shadow, and the fatty, as for Iman and Sara.

Iman, although an AI robot, had at least experienced the parallel universe with everyone, adventured and lived together, developing some emotions. It's likely safer for her to act with them.

Over this period, Sky Shadow's attitude towards her subtly changed too. Although his tone was still as cold as ever, he began to treat Iman as a companion rather than just a piece of machinery.

Sara, in fact, ever since Sara joined everyone on the journey through the parallel universe, they were all in the same boat. Her departure from her homeland was undeniably influenced by Feng Yi, had something to do with being overweight, and was partly due to her unwillingness to live that kind of life. But without a doubt, the moment she made her decision, it was a tremendous trust in everyone. So, everyone has nothing to say about Sara—safety comes first.

In the northern spaceport of the Shadow District, the temperature was exceptionally cold in the early morning, bone-chillingly so, especially for the overweight who had their fingers exposed and had to tuck them into their sleeves every minute. But there was no helping it; Sky Shadow had gotten into the vehicle early, and aside from himself, it was all damn women, so carrying luggage and such tasks naturally fell to the men. Being a man was freaking exhausting.

The overweight man couldn't stop complaining internally as he made his way briskly through the main street and rushed into the Waiting Hall, only relaxing once he set down his luggage. He waved his hands and gestured frantically, urging the three grand dames outside to hurry, for heaven's sake, it's so early and you had me getting up, while you ladies leisurely stroll through the garden, this daily routine is just endless hassle.

As for seeking military personnel for reception as mentioned earlier, it was just a waste of effort; the Blade Warrior just used it as an excuse to contact officials and obtain some resources she needed.

Frankly speaking, although the military was efficient in its work, reception was utterly useless. Waiting for a reception often meant not returning at all. In the not so long two days, the Blade Warrior made great efforts to come up with a magnetic field isolation device and repeatedly tested it to ensure nothing went wrong before deciding to set off as soon as possible.

It is well known that the more 'Bizarre' grows and absorbs energy, the harder it is to deal with. Such matters should not be delayed. Therefore, seizing the early hours, the group did not dare to linger. They hurried into the Waiting Hall, moved from there to the corporate shuttle park, boarded swiftly, ignited the engines, and shot up into the sky...

The lead operator of this mission was Feng Yi, the youth from another dimension. Whether or not the operation would be a success depended entirely on luck, and no better plan could be thought of by the group.

No sooner had they embarked on the Time-Space Transfer Device than the Blade Warrior, like a fussy old lady, began lecturing Feng Yi on battle knowledge, exasperating the overweight man who listened anxiously on the side...

The overweight man believed that although Feng Yi was not as strong as the Blade Warrior, the battles he had been through far surpassed the latter's experience. In other words, the guy was more seasoned than you, so your talk was pointless.

In fact, the overweight man thought this way for good reasons, of which there were two.

Thus, Zhang Xiaobo started his habitual mental speculation.

The first reason was quite simple: the guy was Feng Yi, after all, a tough mercenary who grew up on the battle planet Colonial Star 103. Not to mention combat experience, just survival skills alone, including everyone on board this shuttle, even Roland and Sky Shadow might not be as experienced as Feng Yi.

Admittedly, Sky Shadow was very prominent in overall aspects, but Sky Shadow had always been inclined towards combat, and all the resources she had smashed from childhood were combat-related—not survival.

As for Roland, Roland was a rather mysterious person, and it was hard to say. She could be more capable than Feng Yi, but Feng Yi gave people a more honest and reliable feeling. Looking at Roland, her presence could only make everyone feel more at ease, because no matter what happened, it seemed there was nothing she couldn't handle.

But Roland was a woman after all, and although it might sound a bit sexist to say so, the overweight man honestly believed that women were inferior to men in many ways. Take work, for example; women often have lower work efficiency than men. And from a broader perspective, throughout history, whether emperors or national leaders, most have been male.

Furthermore, to step back and consider the most basic physicality, women are generally no match for men in a fight, though they may have greater flexibility and endurance. But aside from bedroom skills and some meticulous, slow crafts, women by nature really can't keep up with men.

So that's why, although the overweight man felt Roland was reliable, strictly speaking, he was more inclined towards Sky Shadow, which also showed from certain issues that Sky Shadow was more rational in facing problems.

For instance, on the issue of Bizarre, Sky Shadow's view had many similarities with his own, whereas the Blade Warrior had another viewpoint, and Roland had yet another. Of course, Mengdie never expressed her own opinion, seemingly just a silent follower.

There is a saying that the minority should follow the majority, and since his views aligned with Sky Shadow's on many points, the conclusion seemed obvious. As the era's main character, the overweight man believed that his viewpoints were the correct ones!

It must be said this guy's thinking was rather subjective, but often he had the piercing insight to understand things clearer than anyone. That was where the overweight man shone. However, regarding the Blade Warrior's urging, the overweight man thought it best to avoid trouble with this woman—the shuttle was hers after all. How to offend her? Nobody on board should offend the Blade Warrior—out of sight, out of mind. Thus, with drooping eyelids, he went off to sleep in his Hibernation Cabin.
