The world before my eyes seemed to slow down—

It was obvious that this time when the Chairman's wife raised her hand, it wasn't going to be a tame, thunderous gesture, but an actual strike with force. Her beautiful, fair palm traced a graceful arc, carrying with it an aura of annihilation.

Gold, the old pharmacist, the refined middle-aged man (actually the president of Warm Fire Academy), including Susan and others, finally felt they couldn't stand by any longer. After all, things could lead to a fatality, so they all wanted to rush over to try and stop the Chairman's wife.

Ivan had already made a move to act.

On the other side, Leia supported Falk, who wanted to help but due to sudden exertion caused his wounds to burst open.

Behind, Barbara tried to grab onto me, wanting to pull me from in front of her to behind her.

——All of this unfolded as if in slow motion, within the sensing range of "Water Spirit Sensing."

Andrew didn't even need to open his eyes to see; just using his perceptual antennae, he could clearly sense everything around him!

This was no longer just the initial Water Spirit Sensing but an advanced version of it.

It was called: Underwater World.

"Underwater World" itself did not have the ability to resolve the Chairman's wife's mental affliction before him.

Andrew just had to enter this state—to rapidly enhance "perceptual sensitivity" in a short time, making things around seem slow, which was actually because his reflexes became faster—requiring such a state to accomplish what he truly intended to do next.

"Honestly speaking, it's really not easy."

Andrew didn't have full confidence, "What I know about the intel is just too limited."

All I know is: the commerce association's young lady died in an accident back then, and that accident seems to have some connection with Barbara. This led to the commerce association's young lady's parents' accidental death, and thereafter, the Chairman's wife has had a poor attitude towards Barbara. The relationship between the wife and the Chairman is also distant because of the same reason.

Lack of crucial information, coupled with the fact that I'm just Barbara's boyfriend now, not married, and even if married, there is always a gap—under such circumstances, to try to resolve someone's "family affairs" with such an identity is somewhat presumptuous and very arrogant.

But it must be done.

Moreover, though on one hand, there's inevitably a bit of unease, on the other hand, there's also a certain degree of confidence and assurance: "By myself alone, entering the 'Underwater World' state, it's difficult to accomplish what I intend to do next.

But with Barbara, it could definitely be done!"

At this moment, Barbara was slightly stunned, hearing Andrew's voice by her ear: "Do you know 'Lavender in the Sunlight'? If you do, quickly use it, use it on me, quickly!"

Barbara was a bit surprised at hearing this.

She thought Andrew, having just been slapped by her mother, should at least be nervous, or even terrified, or possibly angry and emotionally agitated, right?

But in reality, from Andrew's voice, there was only an extreme calmness, even when urging her to hurry, there was still a sense of orderliness and composure.

Barbara didn't realize it was a psychological state Andrew naturally entered after unfolding "Underwater World." She didn't have time to think deeply, for what truly surprised her was Andrew's mention of "Lavender in the Sunlight."

"If I remember correctly, it's a Tier Three magic from the 'Fire God Blessing Series'?"

Barbara thought to herself, though her major was the "Heart Fire Series," being an excellent graduate of Warm Fire Academy, she had dabbled in many other series within Warm Fire Magic.

What Andrew mentioned as "Lavender in the Sunlight," she did know.

It's a warm fire healing class magic used for "calming and soothing."

What Barbara didn't understand was: why use "Lavender in the Sunlight" at this moment? Did Andrew actually think it would be useful to his mother now? Well, even if he really thought so, shouldn't she use it on her mother instead of him?

Then she heard Andrew's voice again: "Don't worry, trust me! We will help unlock the knot in your mom's heart together!"

Hearing this—mainly sensing the confidence and reliability inherent in Andrew's words—Barbara stared in a daze at Andrew's back, not too strong nor tall, actually a bit thin, yet steadily standing in front of her.

She silently squeezed Andrew's hand.

No longer pulling Andrew back, nor did she ask what Andrew planned to do.

Barbara silently activated "Lavender in the Sunlight" and, through their tightly clasped hands, transmitted the magic power to Andrew!

"Thank you!"

Andrew received it and immediately combined it fiercely with a Tier Three Water Magic from the "Water Priestess Series," "Lullaby on the Azure Waves," which he had prepared in advance.

Utilizing the "Enchanting Finger" technique, he "enchanted" his Water Magic over the Fire Magic transmitted by Barbara!

Water and fire, two opposing forces, naturally clashed violently. But while clashing, they also merged with each other.

Ultimately, under Andrew's efforts, the two magics twined into one.

In that entirely new force, water and fire were distinctly separate, yet entirely united.

"Fantastic!"

Feeling the totally new magic power, Andrew excitedly clenched his fist, "I was right indeed!"

The experience at Warm Fire Temple made Andrew realize that water and fire were not only incompatible, but could also complement each other.

Seeing with his own eyes the Tier Nine magic "Phoenix's Cry" from the "Fire God Blessing Series," used by Gold during the round table meeting, confirmed for Andrew: not to mention the entire Warm Fire Magic and his Water Magic, just the healing class "Fire God Blessing Series" and his "Water Priestess Series," these two series are absolutely complementary!

Or rather, the healing magic in these two series matches one-on-one!

While at Warm Fire Temple, Andrew discovered that his "Flowing Water Spirit" corresponds to the "Life Fire Spirit" in the Fire God Blessing Series.

The "Phoenix's Cry" just now corresponds to the Tier Nine Water Magic "Whisper of the Water Spirit Turtle," which he doesn't yet know how to use.

The "Lavender in the Sunlight" Barbara sent over now corresponds precisely to the "Lullaby on the Azure Waves"!

This was actually the second time Andrew and Barbara achieved the resonance of water and fire.

The first time was when confronting Rose; Barbara's Heart Fire Series Magic and Andrew's marker on Rose, "Tear Mark," entangled and resonated.

But neither Barbara nor Andrew had a clear understanding of exactly what happened that first time.

This time, it was their first intentional resonance of water and fire under Andrew's deliberate control!

Buzz—

An invisible "Water God Mark" on Andrew's forehead seemed to be activated, emitting a subtle wave.

If it weren't for the presence of "Invisible Enchantment," the Water God Mark would definitely radiate a captivating, dreamy blue glow.

At the same time, Barbara seemed to perceive something as the warm fire magic she passed to Andrew merged with Andrew's water magic, making her whole body shiver as if electrified.

Subsequently, the "Warm Fire Order" on Barbara's forehead lit up on its own.

Barbara didn't have an "Invisible Enchantment" to conceal her elemental attribute.

In an instant, everyone in the hall immediately noticed the bright, fiery orange flame-shaped mark on her forehead: "That, that is——!?"
