114: A second heart enters the body!

"Your Highness, quickly rein in your power!" Seville cried out urgently.

Before he finished speaking, he moved as swiftly as a leopard, pulling out a chain radiating brilliant golden light from deep within the satchel he carried.

Tiny golden runes flowed across the golden chain, and as the runes rotated, a faint chanting could be heard.

Seville's movements were agile and practiced; almost in the blink of an eye, he tightly wrapped the golden chain around Princess Luna's slender wrist.

Under the restraint and soothing of the golden chain, the spatial cracks in the air, caused by Princess Luna's tumultuous emotions, seemed to feel a certain calm and began to slowly, subtly heal, as if wrinkled silk had been smoothed by gentle fingers, restoring its original tranquility and integrity.

Princess Luna took two deep breaths, trying to calm the surging waves within her, but her voice still couldn't hide her resentment and unwillingness: "I really want to rush into that detestable Seal right now and personally resolve everything!"

"Your Highness, do not let the Body of Destruction control your emotions; you must calm down immediately! All our efforts, everyone's hopes, are placed upon your rationality," Seville's reply was filled with urgency and pleading.

"I know, but..."

Princess Luna's words were full of struggle; she bit her lower lip, trying to lock the impending flood of anger back into her heart.

However, the torrent of anger was ultimately difficult to completely suppress.

After a deep breath, her emotions erupted like a volcano: "I just can't control it!!!"

The sound contained not just anger, but also deep helplessness and despair.

Driven by fury, Princess Luna recklessly tried to break free from the golden chain's restraint with her own powerful strength.

Her body trembled slightly from the strenuous struggle, every inch of her skin seemingly expressing unwillingness and defiance.

However, the golden chain seemed to possess a life of its own, both soft and resilient.

Even with Princess Luna exerting all her strength, it did not loosen in the slightest.

Instead, the golden light on the chain grew even more dazzling during the struggle, and the chanting of the rotating runes became even louder.

"I know you are under unimaginable pressure, but please, Your Highness, you must remain clear-headed."

Seville's voice carried an unprecedented seriousness and sincerity; his gaze was fixed on Princess Luna's face, every word seemingly etched with care.

"If you lose control of your emotions now, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

There was no blame in his words, only deep understanding and concern, like an old friend offering the most solid support in the darkest hour.

Since the day of her birth, Princess Luna has possessed a Physique that could be described as a double-edged sword.

The Body of Destruction.

The Body of Destruction is the strongest Physique, on par with the Primordial Demonic Body, hailed as the supreme Sacred Body in the Martial Dao world.

It is like the brightest star in the night sky, both signaling endless possibilities and foretelling unfathomable dangers.

Princess Luna, possessing this Physique, could easily comprehend the mysteries of Martial Arts as long as she could control her emotions.

Whether it was ancient techniques sealed in old texts or profound Cultivation Techniques that ordinary people found difficult to glimpse, for her, they were like streams flowing into the sea, naturally integrating into her Bloodline.

As long as she had a renowned teacher, theoretically, Princess Luna could possess the strength of an Upper A-Rank in just ten years.

If no accidents occurred in the future, stepping into the S-Rank Domain was almost a certainty.

But, by fate, she was chosen as the hero to eliminate the Devil King.

This mission not only drastically changed the trajectory of her life but also granted her Body of Destruction an unprecedented enhancement.

The enhanced Body of Destruction allowed Princess Luna to contend with a Lower S-Rank Expert even without performing any Martial Skills or learning any esoteric techniques!

However, in all things, there is a give and take.

Behind this power, capable of overturning the world, lay a heavy price.

Whenever Princess Luna attempted to awaken this dormant power, her consciousness would be invaded by a surging desire for destruction.

It was an impulse to turn everything before her into ashes, as if the entire world had become a target she urgently needed to destroy.

If not curbed, she might completely lose herself in this torrent, degenerating from a noble princess into a ruthless killing machine, devoid of all rationality and emotion.

Even if Princess Luna used all her strength to suppress the Awakening of this power, her spiritual world could not entirely escape its influence.

That latent power, like a beast in the dark night, constantly stirred, making her every emotion extraordinarily sensitive and difficult to control.

Even trivial matters in daily life could become the fuse that triggered her emotional breakdown.

And at this moment, unable to contact Luna Fairy Spirit—such a life-altering event—how could Princess Luna remain calm?

"If I can't contact Luna Fairy Spirit..."

"I..."

"What should I do..."

"I will become a terrifying monster..."

"And with that damned Devil King, descend into the abyss of destruction..."

"No... I absolutely refuse..."

"Such a bastard future..."

...Princess Luna clutched her head helplessly, her beautiful face contorted by extreme fear and struggle.

Her eyes flickered with a madness on the verge of losing control, as if she would be swallowed by the darkness within her at any moment.

The golden chain binding her emitted dull roars under the impact of this invisible force, and even tiny, yet alarming, cracks began to appear on the chain itself.

Seeing the critical situation, Seville unhesitatingly pulled out an antique-looking pistol emitting a faint golden glow from his inner pocket.

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with pain and determination, and slowly aimed the muzzle at Princess Luna's forehead.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness..."

He whispered, his voice tinged with unspeakable guilt and self-reproach.

As these low words fell, Seville closed his eyes tightly and gently squeezed the trigger.

In an instant, the muzzle of the golden pistol bloomed with dazzling light, like a miniature sunrise.

A golden bullet, imbued with pure energy, streaked across the sky like a meteor, striking Princess Luna's forehead with perfect accuracy.

"Hmph—"

With a deeply suppressed groan of pain, Princess Luna's body jolted violently.

Her eyes instantly lost their luster, and all struggle and fear froze in that moment.

She fell weakly towards the cold ground, like a kite with a broken string.

Seville, quick-witted, opened his arms and steadily caught the falling princess.

His face was filled with solemnity and sorrow.

"I'm sorry, my Your Highness..."

...Inside the underwater lava cave, dim and mysterious light intertwined, and the faint glow of magma danced on the water's surface, reflecting a strange and colorful scene.

Luna Fairy Spirit floated in the water, her figure gently enveloped by a colorful magic shield; as the light flowed, she seemed like the most brilliant coral at the bottom of the sea, emitting a soft and mysterious glow.

This magic shield not only protected her from the erosion of the surrounding environment but also added a touch of extraordinary transcendence.

Han Fei, beside her, continuously exchanged treasure chests from the company's mall to Cultivate his superpowers.

Ever since his superpower Aptitude had soared to S-Rank, he had completely immersed himself in the joy of Cultivation.

Now, every second of his Cultivation was accompanied by a significant improvement in his superpowers.

This made Han Fei feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and joy; how could he not be engrossed in it?

Time quietly slipped away in this obsession, with over ten hours passing in what felt like a blink of an eye.

"So engrossed in Cultivation?"

It wasn't until Luna Fairy Spirit's clear and melodious voice pierced his contemplation that Han Fei suddenly came back to his senses, turning his gaze to the fairy spirit before him, his tone carrying a hint of surprise and reluctance, "Are you finished?"

Luna Fairy Spirit responded with a gentle nod, then slowly opened her palm, revealing a heart shining with colorful light, resting quietly in her palm.

The magical aura emanating from the heart was powerful and oppressive, as if it contained world-destroying power.

Han Fei looked at this heart, feeling both excited and apprehensive, "Can my body really withstand such immense power?"

Luna Fairy Spirit used her magic eye, scrutinized Han Fei up and down, then nodded and said, "Your current Physique should be fine."

Han Fei had previously consumed multiple strength and Physique fruits; with just his physical body, he could contend with a strength-type C-Rank Expert.

Hearing this, Han Fei could not hide his excitement and eagerly pressed, "So, I'll soon have B-Rank strength?"

Luna Fairy Spirit nodded, "Lie down, I'll bestow the heart into your body."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei immediately lay flat on the rocks of the lava cave, his heart filled with both anticipation and nervousness about the unknown.

Luna Fairy Spirit floated gracefully above Han Fei's chest and gently reminded him, "You'll have to bear with it; it'll hurt a bit."

No sooner had she spoken than she lightly tapped with her fingertip, and the colorful heart, as if guided by invisible threads, slowly merged into Han Fei's right chest cavity.

In an instant, an indescribable sharp pain surged like a tide, as if thousands of needles simultaneously pierced his heart.

Han Fei's forehead instantly became covered in fine beads of sweat, but he gritted his teeth, enduring this tearing pain.

He knew this was the price of transformation and a necessary pain on the path to becoming stronger.

Half an hour later.

Luna Fairy Spirit flew above Han Fei's head, "It's over."

"Hiss, that really hurt..."

Han Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He pressed his hand against his right chest, as if this insignificant pressure could alleviate the piercing pain.

Even now, the pain remained, like an invisible sharp blade deeply plunged into his chest; every breath was accompanied by unspeakable torment.

"Didn't I tell you it would hurt a lot?" Luna Fairy Spirit said playfully with a smile.

"But I didn't expect it to hurt this much," Han Fei managed a forced, bitter smile.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, attempting to perceive the newly born power within his body.

In his right chest, a heart thumped, thumped; it was not only the rhythm of life but also an inexhaustible source of magic.

However, apart from feeling its endless magical surge, Han Fei did not detect any signs that he could directly cast magic.

"How do I use your magic?" Han Fei looked at Luna Fairy Spirit, puzzled.

"You just need to shout the incantation," Luna Fairy Spirit said casually.

Then she extended a slender finger and lightly flicked Han Fei's forehead.

In an instant, a massive torrent of information surged into Han Fei's mind like a tide.

After Han Fei painstakingly digested this information, he looked at Luna Fairy Spirit again, his eyes flickering with complex emotions.

"Your incantations..."

Han Fei hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

Luna Fairy Spirit put her hands on her hips and looked at him unhappily, "Is there a problem?"

"Uh..."

Han Fei's mouth twitched; for a moment, he couldn't find the right words to express his feelings.

"What's wrong with my incantations? Tell me!" Luna Fairy Spirit pressed unhappily.

Han Fei pursed his lips, involuntarily replaying the various incantations in his mind.

"You ants, turn to ashes in the blazing flames!"

"I am the King of Storms; tremble, you scum!"

"Weaklings, kneel before me!"

...As these incantations echoed in his mind, a an awkward and subtle expression gradually appeared on Han Fei's face.

"You're disliking my incantations, aren't you?"

Luna Fairy Spirit's eyes flickered with a hint of playfulness, as if she could perceive every subtle thought in Han Fei's mind.

"No, it's just... can you change these lines?"

Han Fei forced a bitter smile, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.

He could almost foresee the strange looks he would receive from those around him when he recited these incantations.

The level of embarrassment would be enough for him to dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with his toes.

"The incantations are already set; they can't be changed," Luna Fairy Spirit said, crossing her arms unhappily.

"Are the lines of these incantations a bit too long? Can't we skip the incantation step and let me cast them directly through thought?" Han Fei tried to argue again.

Luna Fairy Spirit said without hesitation: "No!"

"You haven't truly mastered my magic; you're only barely casting it using the second heart as a medium, so it must be guided by incantations," Luna Fairy Spirit briefly explained.

"Then can't the incantations be simpler?" Han Fei asked with a bitter smile mixed with a plea.

"Do you think I don't want to?"

Luna Fairy Spirit rolled her eyes at Han Fei, "The more powerful the magic, the more complex its guiding incantation, and every syllable, every word, must be intimately connected to the essence of the magic and cannot be altered at will!"

"So, stop thinking about me changing the incantations; I don't have that much time right now to redesign a set for you."

Having finished her complaints, Luna Fairy Spirit seemed a bit impatient; her small palm gently pressed against Han Fei's forehead, and a gentle magical power instantly spread.

"Alright, I'll send you back first, and I'll come find you in a few days. As for that Devil King Army remnant, you don't need to worry about it for now; just let me handle everything."
