29: Chapter 29 The Interdimensional Traveler

The girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled softly, "Alright, you may ask your questions."

Chen Moxuan remained silent, staring intently at the girl's face, his grip on the spear tightening slightly.

"No way, you actually don't have anything to ask? Is your brain short-circuiting from too much information?"

"I advise you to hurry; it won't be long before the Hero Association's cleaners arrive."

As she spoke, the girl added, "They're the group from the Hero Association responsible for handling crime scenes."

"Can you change back? This face of yours gives me some PTSD." Chen Moxuan suddenly spoke up.

Although the girl before him had different expressions and some minor details, she bore the same face as Lin Muhan.

Chen Moxuan still felt a lingering fear toward that vampire who had once wanted to hack him into a thousand pieces.

Upon seeing this face, his brain, which had still been in a state of slight confusion, issued an attack command without hesitation.

Even now that he had calmed down slightly, Chen Moxuan still had to constantly suppress his urge to attack.

"What? Is big sister's beauty making you too shy to speak? You little shy one." The girl's tone was frivolous and full of mockery.

Chen Moxuan's brows furrowed instantly, his spear instinctively trembling and inching closer to the girl's neck, its cold glint flickering.

"Alright, alright, I'll turn around, okay?" The girl hurriedly raised her hands in surrender, speaking as she nimbly turned around, leaving her back exposed to Chen Moxuan.

"Spiritual Qi in this world is thin, so every bit of magic power must be used sparingly. There's no need to waste magic power on things like shapeshifting unless necessary."

Chen Moxuan stood in place, his expression fluctuating.

From his angle, he only needed to exert a slight force with his arm and give a gentle thrust, and the spear in his hand could instantly pierce through the girl's back, striking straight at her heart.

In the end, he sighed helplessly, and the black spear in his hand slowly twisted and deformed, turning back into a black bracelet.

Despite looking so similar, the personality of this girl before him and that Lin Muhan were worlds apart.

After this experience, Chen Moxuan gradually accepted in his heart that they were two completely different people.

Having relaxed, he pondered the girl's previous words, organizing his own questions.

The first thing he needed to confirm was... "How much time has passed now?"

He had experienced three days in that other world, yet the surrounding blood had not yet coagulated, which showed that these people had not been dead for long.

"Five minutes." The girl, with her back to Chen Moxuan, held up five fingers, "I understand what you want to ask. Based on my experience, people who experience Otherworld Walker for the first time will stay there for about three days before returning on their own. During the transit, both worlds are almost static, but you will experience some symptoms of discomfort when you return the first time, like fainting for a few minutes."

"Where did you put my original body?" Chen Moxuan continued to ask.

Currently, Chen Moxuan's attire and the surging Qi and blood power within his body came from the previous Martial Arts World, not his original, weak, ordinary body.

"I don't know about that either," the girl replied, "My Special Ability [Otherworld Walker] will fuse your Soul with that of your parallel otherworld self, and the body will be overwritten by the one with the stronger life level. As for where the overwritten body goes... I don't know either."

"You don't know? Isn't this caused by your Special Ability?" Chen Moxuan frowned and asked in return.

"Please, do you need to understand how air is sucked into your nostrils to be able to breathe?"

"For a Transcendent, a Special Ability is just like eating and breathing."

Although this question didn't get a definitive answer, from the girl's words, Chen Moxuan solved the doubts that had been lingering in his heart.

Why his previous severe injuries had disappeared, why his attire and body were completely different, but his Special Ability still existed.

A Transcendent's Special Ability is something that originates from the Soul. When Chen Moxuan of this Superpower World fused his Soul with himself from the Martial Arts World, the Special Ability naturally followed the Fusion to the other world.

Likewise, possessing memories of another world was also a result of the Soul Fusion.

Perhaps the reason his Mental Energy skyrocketed, besides the factor of Cultivating in the Martial Arts World, was also because his Mental Energy had been superimposed through the two worlds.

"By the way, aren't you curious about who caused this tragic scene around us?" Seeing that Chen Moxuan hadn't asked the key question for a long time, the girl couldn't help but say.

"Wan Chaoren." Chen Moxuan said in a low voice.

There were many mutilated corpses around with scorch marks, which could clearly only be caused by extremely high temperatures.

And Wan Chaoren, who had been in this room earlier, happened to be able to do just that.

"Then do you know the reason he took action?"

"...Silencing witnesses."

"Taking action against me in public; compared to the troublesome explanations afterward, he felt it was easier to just kill everyone present." Chen Moxuan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

He didn't know why he could say these things so calmly.

Many classmates in class had good relationships with him, but in just a few minutes, they had all turned into mutilated, charred corpses.

Many bodies were unrecognizable, and Chen Moxuan had no heart to carefully identify them.

He wasn't sure if anyone had escaped, but relying on Wan Chaoren's superhuman speed and near-light-speed laser eyes.

It was highly likely there were no survivors.

"Not bad, not bad, you seem to understand that guy's psychology quite well." The girl lightly clapped her hands twice, as if expressing approval for Chen Moxuan's answer.

Chen Moxuan took a deep breath, the strong smell of blood rushing into his nostrils instantly, suppressing his boiling emotions once again.

Immediately, he asked in succession, "Why were you being hunted by him? Why hide in this class? And, why use your Special Ability on me?"

"Wow, so you can ask so many things at once." The girl's tone was slightly exaggerated, drawing out her words, "Then I'll answer them one by one for you."

"First, I belong to an organization that resists Transcendents, and my organization has already been listed on the Hero Association's wanted list."

"As for why I hid here... someone in our organization prophesied that we could find another companion here. Although his prophecies are inaccurate nine times out of ten, it didn't matter if I came to take a look while I was at it."

"While you were at it?" Chen Moxuan couldn't help but ask in return.

In his impression, that male classmate the girl transformed into had appeared in class in the first semester, and it had been almost a year now.

How could the time spent lurking for nearly a year be as easy as just "taking a look while at it"?

As if seeing through Chen Moxuan's doubts, the girl took the initiative to explain, "You wouldn't think I've been here for a long time, would you?"

"Actually, I only arrived here today; I just used some means to modify your memories."

Upon hearing this, Chen Moxuan became alert. He had originally been puzzled as to why he couldn't remember that male classmate's name, just assuming the other person had a weak presence.

Now it seemed that it was simply because that person had never truly existed.

"The means you mentioned, is it an ability you obtained in another world by using your Special Ability on yourself?"

It is a consensus obtained through massive data statistics that a Transcendent can only have one Special Ability.

Even if there are some abilities that can copy or plunder Special Abilities, its essence is still one ability.

If the girl wasn't lying, her ability [Otherworld Walker] was just as she described it.

Then the ability to modify others' cognition and her previous shapeshifting were clearly obtained by her using her own Special Ability to travel to other worlds.

"That's right, that was a world that possessed Immortal Cultivators."

"You know about Immortal Cultivators, right? They are the Immortal Cultivators mentioned in the literature and novels that have survived since The Great Annihilation Period."

"Through Soul Fusion, I mastered the methods of an Immortal Cultivator..."

The girl stretched out her finger and gently traced in the Void Realm, and a cyan glazed ribbon of light slowly emerged beneath her fingertip.

Mysterious runes seemed to flicker within the light screen, emitting strange fluctuations, and then it slowly dissipated.

"Immortal Art."
