Chapter 131: Returning to Infinity, and Fan Haixin! (Fifth Day of the New Year)

Fuck! What the hell is with that staff? Why the hell can a newbie like you get such a great weapon? This is unfair!!

Inside the mysterious space, after the Cycle-Bearer Wu Xian, the Fatebearer Wu Xian—who was also a "veteran"—stepped forward to exchange memories.

Immediately, the stiff monkey face twisted as if he'd swallowed a super-concentrated, heavily spiked lemon juice, every expression of envy, jealousy, and resentment flashing across it—pure sour agony.

Unlike the Black Myth game, where defeating specific bosses grants materials to forge new gear and weapons.

After defeating the White-robed Scholar and the Black Bear Spirit, this Fatebearer Wu Xian did obtain corresponding upgrade materials—but no forging function unlocked in the Earth God shrine.

So even now, the Fatebearer Wu Xian still roams the world in his starter set and a willow wood staff, so pitiful he's unbearable to look at.

According to his guess, to truly upgrade from a slingshot to a cannon, he'd have to enter the Little Western Heaven map, obtain the Ruyi Scroll from Chen Long, then find Yin Hu in the Liulu Village.

Just thinking of this, the Fatebearer Wu Xian felt a deep sense of frustration.

He was the future Great Sage Equaling Heaven, yet he couldn't even get a decent weapon, forced to watch other Wu Xians show off in front of him.

Having just one Cycle-Bearer Wu Xian was tolerable—he was in the Main God Space, after all; Wu Xian could only envy from afar.

But now? Even the newbie Dragon Clan Wu Xian, who'd just arrived, had already surpassed him, landing a staff that looked incredibly powerful—and one that could shrink and grow like the Ruyi Jingu Bang. This was unbearable.

Thinking of this, the Fatebearer Wu Xian wanted to fly straight to Little Western Heaven…

No! He wanted to clear every map of Black Myth, return to Flower-Fruit Mountain, seize the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and become the coolest guy in the mysterious space!

"Enough, enough, stop being so sour—it's just a staff. Look at you, so petty."

The Cycle-Bearer Wu Xian shook his head in silence, then turned to the Dragon Clan Wu Xian and forcibly steered the conversation back on track.

"By the way, you've now obtained the White King's authority and power, and even shared them with Hui Liyi—what are your next plans?"

"Return to China, before the plot kicks off, capture Little Dragon Girl and her brother first, then hunt down the other Dragon Kings and seize their powers?"

"And what about Lu Mingze, that little devil? What's his game? Why's he helping you so desperately—almost more devoted than to his own brother… Something fishy's going on. Stay cautious, or you'll fall into his trap."

Hearing this, the Dragon Clan Wu Xian shrugged: "I've thought about these things too. Originally, I planned to meet Lu Mingfei during summer break to probe Lu Mingze's motives—but now…"

He raised his hand, clenched his fist slightly, and smiled: "Since I've already shared my S-rank Superhuman physical stats, all those previous problems no longer matter."

"Whether Dragon Clan or Bloodline Sect, anyone who makes me unhappy will spend their life crying. If needed, I'll just flip the table—let's see who's willing to go all in."

"That makes sense… but don't go too extreme. Lu Mingze might have the ability to restart the timeline. Even if it doesn't work on you as an outsider, it's still troublesome."

The Cycle-Bearer Wu Xian warned him not to overplay his hand.

"Relax, I've got it under control…"

As he spoke, the Dragon Clan Wu Xian seemed to recall something, suddenly stroked his chin, and said with a smirk:

"By the way, what do you think the Lu Mingfei in this world is like? Could he also be some alternate version who returned from another world?"

"That'd be interesting—you might even get a chance to unlock a new map."

The recovered Fatebearer Wu Xian chimed in, eyes gleaming: "I've been here a long time, but I remember—there was a Lu Mingfei who returned from Black Myth."

"That's right! I remember too!"

"And the Jiao Demon King from the orthodox Journey to the West!"

"There was one in Infinite Terror too…"

"What about wuxia? Any wuxia versions?"

"Not sure, but definitely no classical wuxia."

"Holy shit! Too many memories just transferred—I didn't look closely. We've got a grandmaster here… Ancient Martial Arts Master, bow down to your humble disciple!"

"Nonsense, you're the real master. Could you delete the memory files about the monsters? No other reason—I just want to study the knowledge."

"Get lost!"

————I spent one year in the Ju Yan world—line break———

"Enter the light pillar within thirty seconds. Transfer target locked. Fan Haixin world initiating teleportation. Countdown…"

In the Main God Hall, twenty beams of light descended.

Wu Xian, Zheng Zhe, Chu Xuan, Zhan Lan, Mou Gang, Li Xiaoyi, Lingdian, Zhao Ying, Cheng Xiao, Wang Xia, Qi Tengyi, Zhu Wen… twelve members of the Zhongzhou team stepped into twelve of the light pillars, awaiting the Main God's next teleportation.

At this moment, apart from Chu Xuan's expressionless poker face, every member of the Zhongzhou Cycle team showed clear changes from before—even Wu Xian.

Though each person's changes varied slightly, they were fundamentally similar.

In summary, they could be summed up in two words—confidence.

Clearly, after a full year of training in the Ju Yan world, everyone's strength had made tremendous progress.

Zheng Zhe had fully adapted to the third-stage Gene Lock and mastered the evolved skill derived from Crimson Flame—Karma Fire.

After Chu Xuan completed his Bloodline Evolution Serum, Zheng Zhe successfully ascended to A-rank Vampire Marquis, his power and survivability skyrocketing geometrically, firmly securing second place in Zhongzhou team strength.

Next was Zhan Lan. After Wu Xian's tireless, diligent year-long training, she used the mutated ability of Black Emperor to continuously absorb accumulated kinetic energy into her body, converting it into her six-dimensional attributes.

Purely in terms of strength, she now surpassed Zheng Zhe. Combined with her identity as a psychic controller and her unlocked second-stage Gene Lock, Zhan Lan could single-handedly defeat every Zhongzhou team member except Wu Xian, Zheng Zhe, and Chu Xuan the researcher.

As for the others, no need to elaborate further.

In short, with Chu Xuan's improved Black Water Serum, all of them had broken through the second stage of the Gene Lock, unlocking greater potential from their bloodlines and experiencing explosive growth.

If they returned to the previous Ju Yan team battle, they wouldn't even need Wu Xian or Zheng Zhe to fight—under Zhan Lan's psychic command, the current Zhongzhou team could easily annihilate the other two Cycle teams.
