314: Chapter 314 The Spirit of Ash - Xin

Red light filled the entire cabin.

A moment later, scorching energy erupted from the spirit niche of shadows.

"Careful, he's coming out."

With a flash of red light, Lina appeared by his side.

She took a light step and blocked the two of them.

Chen Fan frowned, "Move aside, I'll handle this."

"No."

Lina shook her head, "Fire cannot harm me."

Hearing this, Chen Fan nodded and focused his attention on the spirit niche of shadows.

The scorching energy gradually intensified, almost bursting the spirit niche of shadows.

Suddenly.

With a bang, the spirit niche of shadows exploded completely.

A crimson figure floated in mid-air.

Over 1.9 meters tall, with a human body and a panda head, he held two short blades in his hands.

This figure was none other than the Ember Spirit — Xin.

Unlike before, where Xin's body was somewhat illusory, merely an incomplete energy entity with incomplete intelligence.

But the Xin before them was a physical entity!

After the red light dissipated, he slowly landed on the ground.

The moment he opened his eyes, a scorching gaze swept over Chen Fan and the others.

"Lina? Did you awaken me?"

Upon seeing Lina, Xin was stunned for a moment.

"I wish I had that ability."

Confirming that the Xin before her had retained his intelligence, Lina curled her lips and shifted half a step to the side.

Revealing Chen Fan behind her.

"Master awakened you."

"Master?"

Xin frowned deeply and scanned Chen Fan with his gaze.

After a moment, he spoke:

"I remember you. You and that Shorty have killed quite a few of my energy entities."

"You unlucky guy, you're actually still alive."

With a flicker of light, Kadel appeared by his side and said disdainfully.

"Looking for a fight?" A fierce glint flashed in Xin's eyes.

Kadel took a swig of wine and sneered, "Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Enough!"

Lina shouted angrily, "What time is it, and you're still arguing?"

However, it was clear she couldn't stop the two of them.

The tall one and the short one stared at each other, their eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Quiet, there's no time for you to fight now."

Davian pushed open the cabin door and walked in.

At the same time, beams of light flickered, and the Crew Members of S-Class or above appeared in the cabin one by one.

"Davian?"

"Kuka, Ruituocuipu, Pudge, Tiny..."

"You... have all awakened?"

Xin's pupils constricted as he scanned the room in disbelief.

Divine Ox scratched his head and said honestly, "Yeah, you're quite late."

"I see."

Xin nodded, his eyes gradually deepening as if lost in thought.

For a long time.

Lilai couldn't stand the heavy atmosphere and giggled, "Brother Cat, what are your plans? Join us, or continue traveling alone?"

All the Crew Members, including Chen Fan, fixed their eyes on Xin.

After all, Xin's strength was obvious to all. If he could join them, it would be a good thing for everyone.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Xin first scanned the room, then finally fixed his gaze on Chen Fan.

"If I say I want to leave, are you going to take back that energy?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart stirred.

Not really, brother. I'm just a fool who transmigrated from the 21st century.

I might not be good at other things, but I'm an expert at PUA!

"Ahem..."

Chen Fan cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"No, that one million energy was a gift for our first meeting. As for whether you stay or leave, that is your decision."

"I usually respect the strong. Consider the one million energy as a way to make friends."

He deliberately emphasized the words "one million" twice.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Jiu and Lairuilei rolled their eyes to the sky.

The two women had been in contact with Chen Fan the longest and instantly understood what he meant.

Xin nodded, appearing to believe Chen Fan's words.

After scanning the room once more, he walked towards the exit of the cabin.

Immediately, everyone's gaze focused on Chen Fan.

However, Chen Fan didn't make any move. He just watched Xin leave with a smile.

Xin's footsteps were light and fast; in a moment, he reached the cabin door.

He slowly raised his right hand and placed it on the door handle.

But he didn't open the door; instead, he paused there for a long time.

"Forget it. Since everyone is here, I... I'll stay too."

"Yay!"

Lilai waved her pink fist and showed an excited smile.

Davian's mouth curled up slightly, and Lina, Tiny, and the others also smiled.

Chen Fan suppressed the corner of his mouth and walked forward with a straight face.

"Recruit."

"Spirit Control."

[Recruitment successful, new Crew Member: Ember Spirit — Xin (SSS-Class)]

[Skill 1: Shadowless Fist. Ember Spirit charges around with the speed of a prairie fire, instantly dealing 5000 damage to all enemies within a 1000-meter diameter. Cooldown: 10 seconds.]

Glancing at the skill descriptions, Chen Fan was instantly stunned.

Wait, hold on.

5000 area damage every ten seconds?

Teleportation within 10,000 meters?

Why is the style of this SSS-Class Crew Member so different from the others?

Chen Fan subconsciously glanced at Ruituocuipu and Davian.

Both of them felt Chen Fan's gaze.

Ruituocuipu couldn't help but pout:

"He is purely combat-oriented; we are more business-oriented."

Davian explained seriously, "I am only in my complete form when in Dragon Form; my normal state is indeed quite useless."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, "Do you have any other combat-oriented partners?"

"Don't know."

Not just the two of them, but the remaining Crew Members also shook their heads vigorously.

Fine.

Chen Fan pouted.

It seems these Crew Members are quite in sync.

He casually took an aghanims scepter out of the system space and handed it to Xin.

"Here, the two-piece starter set, all set."

Xin took the divine staff and was stunned.

"This is... for me?"

"Yes, prepared specially for you. Do you like it?" Chen Fan's mouth curled up.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Lina out of the corner of his eye, he secretly cursed, "Oh no."

As expected.

Lina immediately came over upon hearing this and said expressionlessly:

"You said, the divine staff was prepared specially for me?"

There was a strong dangerous aura in Lina's eyes.

"Uh... this..."

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

Chen Fan pointed at the sun above his head and said intoxicatedly.

Which made Lina roll her eyes repeatedly.

But she didn't really have any intention of causing trouble for Chen Fan.

After all, she knew the importance of the aghanims scepter better than anyone.

She was already very satisfied that Chen Fan could take one out and give it to her.

"Also, why did I get the three-piece starter set, while he only got two?"

"What is the other piece?"

Under her fiery red curly hair, the corners of her mouth curved into an inexplicable arc.
