46: Magic training, fate and destiny!

Luna's story of using Symbiotic Magic to save the Hero is a well-known tale in this world.

It shines like a brilliant star, embedded in the long river of history, a profoundly influential turning point of that era, inspiring scholars of later generations to tirelessly research and endlessly debate.

Many scholars believe that the Hero, after symbiosis with Luna, was the complete Hero.

His formidable Physical Body, capable of slaying a Dragon with bare hands, combined with nearly omnipotent magical power.

With the two powers merged into one, the Hero truly gained the capital to challenge the Devil King and protect the world.

In the final battle, the Hero, with his terrifying power of flesh and blood, coupled with Luna's supreme Sealing method, was able to Seal the Devil King, restoring peace and order to the world.

Looking at the flickering light on his chest at this moment, Han Fei couldn't help but feel an epic sense of legend reborn.

Legends were no longer fairy tales, but were truly unfolding before his eyes, within his very body.

"I will control your body in a moment. Remember to be of one mind with me. I will show you how to block the perception of fate."

Han Fei nodded slightly, slowly relaxed his mind, and allowed Luna to take control of his body.

In an instant, Han Fei felt as if his body was being pulled by an invisible force, beginning to move on its own.

He watched with wide eyes as his arm, as if endowed with independent consciousness, precisely reached into the refrigerator and took out a magic cake.

Immediately after, his face tilted slightly forward, and he extended his tongue, gently licking it.

At that moment, a sweet aroma, like silk threads, instantly permeated his mouth, as if the entire world had paused for that single taste of sweetness.

"Oh, it's so delicious!"

Han Fei's body let out an exaggerated exclamation of surprise, the slightly coquettish, effeminate voice a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.

This made Han Fei uncontrollably reclaim control of his mouth, asking with a touch of helplessness, "What are you doing?"

Hadn't she eaten enough earlier?

What a greedy little fairy spirit.

"You fellow, how dare you speak of me like that!" Luna's response carried a hint of indignation.

Uh, can you hear what I'm thinking?

"Isn't that obvious? I'm in symbiosis with you now, of course I can know what you're thinking! Dummy!"

After a few complaints, Luna once again took back control of the body.

"Watch closely, I'm only demonstrating once. If you don't learn it, you'll have to add more cake, you know."

Han Fei tried to clear his mind of distractions, focusing his attention on everything that was about to happen.

Luna seemed to sense his concentration, her lips curving slightly upward as she gently licked the magic cake again.

The sweet taste melted on her tongue.

After Luna excitedly wiggled her body, she actually manipulated the deliciousness on her tongue, transforming it into an invisible magical barrier that covered her entire body.

After doing all this, Luna explained, "This is called the Art of Magic Source Disguise, making you appear as a magic cake in the eyes of fate."

"Disguise as a magic cake? Is that useful?" Han Fei asked curiously.

"If I were to use it, it certainly wouldn't be useful, but for you, it should be fine."

"Why?" Han Fei asked, puzzled.

"This world is vast and boundless. In the eyes of fate, you are not much different from an ant."

"Imagine, you're walking on the road, and an ant disguised as a grain of sand. If you don't look closely, could you spot it?"

Han Fei pondered for a moment, gradually understanding Luna's intention.

"Your Forbidden Magic originates from magic cake, so the magic source can only choose magic cake. Each time you cast it, you must consume a portion of magic cake."

Hearing this, Han Fei's heart tightened. Such consumption was a bit hard for him to bear.

Unless he had a stable source of magic cake, he wouldn't be able to use the Magic Source Disguise Art for long.

"Also, each time you use Forbidden Magic, you must control its power, not exceeding your disguise, otherwise the disguise will fail."

"Improvements in disguise can mainly be achieved through three aspects. First is the quality of the magic source; the higher the quality of the magic cake, the better the disguise effect."

"Second is the quantity of the magic source. If you can't find high-quality magic cake, you can also achieve the same disguise effect through a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change."

"Third is your proficiency in disguise magic. The more skilled you are at this magic, the better the disguise effect will naturally be."

Hearing Luna say this, Han Fei couldn't help but wonder if he could directly replicate her disguise magic through Magical Culinary Arts.

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, Luna sensed it.

She controlled Han Fei's mouth and said, "You want to replicate my disguise magic? It's not impossible, you know."

Hearing Luna's deliberately drawn-out tone, Han Fei immediately understood her intention.

"How much magic cake does it take?"

"Twelve... no, fifteen! Fifteen Level 3 magic cakes."

Han Fei immediately gave up the idea, thinking to himself, "Luna, I have already learned the disguise magic. Shouldn't you leave my body now?"

He was worried he wouldn't be able to control his thoughts and would think of something he shouldn't.

"How dare you try to drive this fairy spirit away?! You human, do you think I like staying in your body? Hmph!"

Luna let out a soft hmph, then flew directly out of Han Fei's mouth, down his throat.

Han Fei clutched his slightly uncomfortable throat and asked Luna, "By the way, Luna, how can I control the power of Forbidden Magic?"

Luna floated lightly in front of Han Fei, a playful smile on her lips, her eyes twinkling with cunning light.

"Your magic cakes aren't enough to pay for it."

"Uh..."

Han Fei frowned, unsure of what to do.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Luna suddenly burst into laughter, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll allow you to pay on credit."

"Five Level 2 magic cakes, and I'll teach you how to control Forbidden Magic and how to unearth its enhanced new effects."

Han Fei was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He still had a magic cake treasure chest in his refrigerator, and with his new Cheat, he might have a chance to get a large quantity of magic cake later.

Seeing Han Fei nod, a hint of surprise flashed in Luna's eyes.

"This kid actually has the confidence to get five magic cakes, how interesting."

She was not in symbiosis with Han Fei now, so she naturally couldn't read his thoughts.

But she could perceive Han Fei's sincerity through her innate fairy spirit abilities.

"Very well, the deal is done. I'll teach you how to use it."

...Forbidden Magic was profound and complex, and its difficulty to control completely exceeded Han Fei's imagination.

It was like a fog, causing one to get lost in exploration.

Time slipped from the starlit night to the silent deep night, then chased the faint morning light of dawn to the high noon sun, and then to the evening when the sunset dyed the west red.

A day and a night passed quietly, and Han Fei, immersed in it, only barely grasped a little superficial knowledge.

This was still under the condition that he possessed exceptional magical Aptitude; if it were an ordinary person, they might not even be able to glimpse its threshold in a thousand years.

However, Han Fei did not feel the slightest boredom; instead, his interest grew like spring grass, and every bit of progress excited him immensely.

As his understanding of Forbidden Magic deepened, he also gained a deeper understanding of this world.

It was as if a new window had opened, allowing him to see different facets of the world.

This joy of exploring the unknown captivated him, making him unable to extricate himself.

Suddenly, a text message ringtone broke the tranquility, and Han Fei pulled out his phone with a hint of displeasure.

The jumping text on the screen reminded him: "Brother Fei, today is Sister Yue's birthday, you didn't forget, did you?"

The sender was Zhang Cheng.

"Oh, I really did forget."

Han Fei was stunned, only then remembering this matter.

"If you have something to do, I can guide you next time, but I can't guarantee when next time will be, you know."

Luna floated above the phone screen, playfully reminding him.

Han Fei looked at Luna and said without thinking, "I wasn't planning on going to that party anyway."

He then quickly composed a text message: "I have something to do today, so I won't be able to make it to the party."

The message was immediately answered: "No way, Brother Fei?! You're really not attending Sister Yue's birthday party?"

"I really have something important," Han Fei replied firmly.

Han Fei now only wanted to explore the mysteries of the Forbidden, and nothing else could pique his interest.

After a brief silence, the screen flickered, and a message came from the other end, full of doubt and worry.

"Brother Fei, what on earth happened to you that you can't even come to Sister Yue's birthday party?"

"I really have an urgent matter. Alright, no more chatting, I still have work to do."

Han Fei then put away his phone and said to Luna, "Let's continue."

"Are you sure you're not going, kid?"

Luna crossed her arms, a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

Han Fei smiled and shook his head gently: "I only want to learn magic from you now. Nothing is more important than this."

Hearing this, Luna's lips couldn't help but curve slightly upward, clearly very happy.

But she tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips, seemingly not wanting Han Fei to notice.

Then she nodded with a feigned seriousness, "Alright, then let's continue."

However, they had not been Cultivating for even an hour when Han Fei's phone vibrated again.

This time the message was not from Zhang Cheng, but from Liu Yang.

"Brother Fei, what did you do to my sister?!"

Liu Yang's voice message exploded like thunder, filled with shock and anger.

"What's wrong?" Han Fei was a little confused.

"She actually asked me if you have a girlfriend!"

Liu Yang's voice was almost a roar.

Before Han Fei could respond, a new voice message arrived.

"Brother Fei, honestly tell me, what on earth did you do to my sister?! I only have this one sister, how could you lay a hand on her?!"

Han Fei was covered in sweat, unsure how to explain.

He knew Liu Yang doted on his sister the most; he was practically a sister-obsessed maniac.

Once, someone had flirted with his sister, and he had immediately rushed to That Person's dorm and severely beat him.

Han Fei felt it was necessary to explain properly, as this was indeed his problem.

"Don't get excited, my sister and I aren't what you think."

"Then what is it?!" Liu Yang was still very agitated.

His sister, whom he had doted on for over a decade, had actually developed deep feelings for his roommate.

This sudden change had truly caught him off guard.

"Yesterday, I was asking your sister about the Gourmet Academy, right? We were chatting at her small shop. To thank her, I made her a fried rice. She thought it was especially delicious at the time, and perhaps that's why she developed feelings for me."

Han Fei described the situation lightly, deliberately avoiding the secret of his Magical Culinary Arts.

Liu Yang naturally didn't believe a word of it.

"You can make fried rice that even my sister praises endlessly? Don't kid me, how is that possible!"

As roommates for four years, Liu Yang knew Han Fei's cooking skills all too well; it had always been jokingly referred to as "dark cuisine" by everyone.

"It's true, if you don't believe me, ask your sister. I still have things to do, so I won't chat anymore, okay?"

After saying that, Han Fei decisively turned off his phone.

Luna floated gracefully beside Han Fei, a playful smile on her lips, mocking, "See? This is the consequence of you using the Power of Rules at will."

"If you're going to Cheat, be careful not to let others find out, otherwise fate will severely punish you!"

Han Fei nodded sincerely, accepting Luna's teaching.

He admitted that he had been so caught up in his curiosity about Magical Culinary Arts at the time that he hadn't considered the possible consequences.

Now, looking back, he realized his recklessness and oversight.

He was fortunate to have met Luna; otherwise, he might have unknowingly easily fallen into the traps set by fate, silently disappearing into the long river of time.

"I only replicated two people's abilities, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Han Fei sought reassurance from Luna.

Luna pursed her lips slightly and shook her head gently, "That's hard to say. Fate is a profound mystery; its rules are elusive."

"You mean I might be in danger?" Han Fei pressed.

"That... is hard to say." Luna's answer was vague.

"Actually, I'm a little curious, what exactly is fate in this world?"

Hearing this, Luna slowly began to speak, her voice like a babbling brook, distant and profound.

"Fate is fixed, destiny is variable."

"Fate is the predetermined compass, already charting our course, unchangeable."

"Destiny, however, is like a flowing river, ever-changing and elusive."

"Everyone has an unchangeable fate, and also a constantly changing destiny."

"Life and death are the predetermined start and end points for the vast majority of people."

"However, when death comes, where it happens, and how one dies, these are all determined by the flow of destiny, like every move in a chess game, full of unknowns and variables."

"Fate is the final chess piece on the board, its position already set."

"Destiny is the curve that connects the beginning and the end, which is our life's trajectory."

"Fate and destiny are like elusive clouds, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing, making each person's life journey unique..."

Listening to Luna's narration, Han Fei couldn't help but feel a deep sense of shock.

"What will my fate and destiny be like?"
