Chapter 133

【PS: Fourth update!】

"Alright, we're here."

Lin Cheng glanced at Jeral, whose face bore a bewildered expression, smiled faintly, then snapped his fingers; in Jeral's startled gaze, the normally ordinary space began to ripple with faint waves.

Then the scene of Amegakure appeared within Jeral's line of sight.

"Is this a pre-established spatial teleportation array, or is it temporary?"

Seeing the sudden appearance of part of Amegakure, Jeral couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Spatial magic, though rare, still exists in this era of magical explosion in the Tail World, where new spells emerge constantly.

But even if spatial magic is merely uncommon and not nonexistent, Lin Cheng's ability to summon the Amegakure domain at will is truly absurdly overpowered.

For example, Doralbart, the spy sent by Fairy Tail into the Fapingyi Society, uses spatial magic.

He can instantly move over short distances and charge up for long-distance teleportation—extremely convenient.

But Doralbart's short-range instant movement works because he can directly lock spatial coordinates with his eyes.

For ultra-long-distance teleportation, Doralbart still needs precise calculation of spatial coordinates, involving many complex steps and extreme conditions.

Lin Cheng, having never studied magical knight-related knowledge, didn't realize how shocking his unintentional display was to Jeral.

This instantaneous calculation ability is almost the darling of magic.

Born with the innate ability to rapidly learn all kinds of spells.

Four hundred years ago, the originator of dark magic, Jeral, was precisely such a darling of magic—born with extraordinarily powerful computational ability, able to quickly master all kinds of spells.

By age five, Jeral had already learned over a thousand spells, though he was limited by his magic capacity and couldn't use all of them.

"Of course it's temporary."

"Who would build a magical teleportation array in this godforsaken place?"

Lin Cheng looked at Jeral, who stared at him in shock, utterly puzzled.

Without waiting for Jeral to respond, Lin Cheng immediately returned to the Amegakure domain, leaving Jeral standing there, utterly confused.

Of course, Jeral's confusion wasn't because Lin Cheng's talent was impressive.

Lately, Jeral had seen too many astonishing things—he remained calm on this front.

Jeral was confused simply because Lin Cheng acted as if it were nothing special.

'Aren't you usually the type who loves to show off?'

'Why aren't you showing off now?'

After scratching his head slightly and deciding he couldn't figure it out, Jeral followed Lin Cheng back into the Amegakure domain.

The moment he returned to the domain, Jeral clearly felt his magic energy become far more active, and a look of amazed wonder reappeared on his face.

Even though Jeral had been with the Akatsuki for a day or two, he was still stunned by the effects of Amegakure, the organization's headquarters.

The ability to enhance a single person's combat power without any auxiliary magic was simply unbelievable.

"What's the next mission?"

"Still searching for things like the Dragon's Weeping Staff that contain massive amounts of energy?"

Watching Lin Cheng stroll ahead lazily, Jeral hurried forward and asked curiously: "Was it because of this reason that the guy named Aizen Sōsuke stole the Mage Spirit Power?"

It was clear Jeral still harbored lingering resentment over what happened at the Tower of Paradise.

"There's no next mission."

"If missions were this easy to get, I wouldn't still be a probationary member."

After hearing Jeral's words, Lin Cheng paused to think, then said: "Our organization is currently in a dormant phase, so the scale and frequency of our operations remain low-key."

"After a while, this situation will improve significantly."

"As for Aizen Sōsuke—he stole the Mage Spirit Power precisely because of its immense energy."

"Alright, let's talk about this later."

As he spoke, Lin Cheng waved his hand slightly toward Jeral.

Then, without giving Jeral another chance to speak, he vanished swiftly from Jeral's line of sight.

The Amegakure area isn't small.

Lin Cheng has his own room in Amegakure.

Of course, since Lin Cheng's status is merely a probationary member of Akatsuki, his house in Amegakure isn't large.

After returning to his room, Lin Cheng casually tossed the Dragon's Weeping Staff, brimming with immense power, beside him, then leapt through the air toward the bed.

"Hahaha, in just this short time, my emotion value has reached thirty million."

"Looks like hitting a hundred million in emotion value today is no problem at all!"

Lying on the bed, watching the system interface in his mind, Lin Cheng's lips curled slightly upward.

It was nearly six in the evening; during the afternoon hours, Lin Cheng's emotion value growth had slowed, but his emotion value still rapidly rebounded from single digits back to eight digits.

Thirty million emotion value is more than enough for Lin Cheng to draw three brand-new, unknown A-rank puppets.

But instead of three brand-new, random puppets, Lin Cheng turned his attention to the system's newly unlocked feature: the Shangcheng.

He could purchase a specific puppet by spending double the price.

It might be worth trying.

Compared to randomness, Lin Cheng preferred outcomes he could control.

Even if the cost might be significantly higher.

The only person in Akatsuki with absolute, undeniable strength is Xuanwozhang Sect; though the B-rank three-star puppets are usable, they're still slightly lacking.

So Lin Cheng planned to exchange for an A-rank puppet from Akatsuki.
