The Wind-Chaser’s Sacred Bell\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people Wenders called were merely a drop in the bucket; although there were Transcendence-realm adventurers among them, Lancelot, having been activated by Li Ang’s spirituality, was like a god of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The performance of his standard-issue Order Sky Cavalry gear was significantly boosted, and coupled with his own Tier 7 professional skills, his control over magic and physical explosive power jumped a tier after being amplified by the spiritual activation; the magic bullets and multiple blade-storms he unleashed intertwined like rain, knocking down the incoming enemies in droves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the final moment, Wenders attempted to use his equipment to fly out of the ship and escape, but Li Ang kicked him to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since both were supported by magic currents and protected by the air shields provided by their superior equipment, it was impossible for Wenders to be kicked to death, but it was inevitable that he would be in too much pain to get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot arrived on the ground afterward and, along with Li Ang, was surrounded by the other military forces of Spark Port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this encirclement was merely a formality; after the adventurers hired by Count Finat were all knocked down by Lancelot, in essence, Spark Port was surrendering to the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew, I finally understand why the Young Lady is so fixated on you. This move is truly satisfying, though it’s a bit tiring afterward. Only someone with the Young Lady’s talent wouldn't have to worry about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot, who belonged to a warrior-type profession, had a robust body; although he had the aftereffects of fatigue, his actions and movements were not hindered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Spark Port did not intend to admit defeat just like that. Count Finat stated that the Empire was already negotiating a brand-new mode of coexistence with the Sky Knight Guild, but since various regulations had not yet been established, they had not been communicated to the Order Sky Cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot had, of course, never heard of such a thing, but he did not take it lightly, so he sat down and began to haggle with the Count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Count Finat had been trying to exploit loopholes in the guild laws, but intimidated by the prestige of the Order Sky Cavalry, Wenders was not granted freedom either; he was simply moved into a small courtyard with Lancelot, where he was kept under watch at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another reason they sat down to talk properly was that they no longer had a ship to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Count of Spark Island naturally had all sorts of excuses for not lending them a ship, and the two airships Li Ang had originally brought, as well as the airship Lancelot used for patrols, had all been sent back to the Order Hall by Lancelot’s subordinates during the battle with Wenders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guy, did you prepare for the possibility that we might lose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, this is a foolproof plan,\" Lancelot said. \"We'll just wait for our Order to send a ship, and that'll be that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lancelot possessed a flying magical beast, magical beasts also had to expend energy to resist the various air currents between sky islands when traveling, so most flying magical beasts could only migrate between nearby islands and were incapable of long-distance travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, perhaps because the Empire had kept the Order Flame Corps too busy, Lancelot contacted the Flame Corps headquarters, but no one responded on the other end of the communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's impossible, right?\" Lancelot wondered aloud. \"There's always someone on duty at the communication hub.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang did not rest in the small courtyard; he slipped out when the guards weren't paying attention, also managing to evade those who appeared to be lookouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only used the name of the Order Flame Corps to deal with Wenders this time; now that the matter was settled, he needed to find a ship to Frost Sky Island as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Empire's affairs, he planned to wait until the situation became clearer before considering what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he was just a leader of an unregistered small sky cavalry group; if the sky fell, he would let those top-tier groups hold it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle above the welcome ceremony and the situation with Wenders had been suppressed by the Count, and the entire port city was operating as normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving on the street, Li Ang blended into the crowd of various races, touring the entire island bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Spark Port was a cargo distribution hub, it was almost a condensed version of the prosperity of the entire Ignis airspace; one could buy blessing ritual vessels from the Votam Theocracy, magical beast husbandry products from the Giant's Garden, and various mechanical goods from the Craft Island of Vitum and the magic-industrial capital of Makaina. Its richness was comparable to Earth's, with sweepers, dishwashers, and all kinds of cooking tools being very comprehensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no longer surprised by these things; he was thinking about how to choose a suitable gift for Zoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Earth Serpent turned into golden light, it was now hiding inside his cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a miraculous ability. Li Ang had originally thought that it turning into light and merging with Zoe was the young girl's ability, but now it seemed that the Star Soul itself possessed this shapeshifting capability. This also explained why Li Ang had not seen a giant wolf descend when Eden appeared on Satus Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Movement speed in this state was limited; Eden must have flown to a place further away and slowly drifted to the door of Zoe's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While strolling, Li Ang quietly toyed with a silver bell in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wind-Chaser’s Sacred Bell]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Seals a sacred feather that seems to have fallen from a deity; from it, one can glimpse the lives of the ancient people who chased the Wind God. The sacred aura blown from within seems to be able to penetrate the earth, bringing peace and tranquility to people's hearts.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: 7]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Category: Energy Source]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Maximum Magic Output: 276%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Magic Affinity: Creation of High-Tier Wind Elements]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So-called high-tier wind elements were winds of magic above Tier 7 capable of shaking the membrane between the material dimension and the supernatural dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Tier 7 energy source could continuously draw magic at three times the efficiency of a Tier 7 spellcaster, which was relatively rare even by the standards of top-tier groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an energy source of this level, one didn't need to worry about magic consumption when using wind-related moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang had handled it when he was at the peak of his soul, so he was very proficient in using it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Touching this item, he realized he had thrown his temporary energy source away like a bomb in the previous battle; that thing had basically reached its limit anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wenders was subdued by Lancelot, to prevent him from escaping, all his equipment had been removed by the latter. As a maintainer of order, Lancelot could not let Li Ang dispose of them; the young man had to take them back to the station, and only after the Soul Peak completed a full set of procedures could they be taken away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the environment was chaotic at the time, and neither of them noticed that Li Ang had swiped the energy source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders had been beaten senseless, and Lancelot, unlike Li Ang, did not have a system; he did not know which accessory on the opponent was what piece of equipment, and after being entangled by Count Finat, he had no energy left to pay attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders, I warned you not to hang your energy source on your waist, Li Ang thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, this could be considered a bit of interest paid by the Soul Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped in front of a cold drink shop. This shop advertised itself as being mentored by the \"Snow Appreciation Terrace\" restaurant on Frost Sky Island. Li Ang knew such claims were all fake, but seeing that there were quite a few people in the shop, he decided to give it a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the five days on Satus Island, he had been both hungry and craving food; he could finally eat a dessert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After queuing for a while, he successfully secured a small table in the corner. He ordered a \"Giant's Garden Cheese Shaved Ice,\" with fruits and chocolate drizzled over a fluffy pile of ice covered in thick cheese, making Li Ang's mood, already improved by stealing the energy source, even more pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his spoon, looking for an angle to dig in, but someone sat down at the other end of the table in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer was a young girl. She wore sunglasses and a sun hat, and a lace choker around her neck, appearing to be intentionally concealing her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her form-fitting black dress and gloves made her look elegant, yet they could not overshadow her allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called allure did not mean she was plump, but that her body had exquisite curves; adding or subtracting body fat would not make it a single bit better, as if it had been meticulously sculpted by the Creator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Sky Knight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl slowly took off her sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>",1549,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","197d1bb66fbcddb14ab4969b9d9c0a183e111d0b620e6f576b1a890bba692c7b","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-54","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-52",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
