Chapter 296 - 293: What the Hell

A single kilogram of antimatter bombs could easily destroy a city, and the other side could supply a virtually infinite amount.

It was manageable for a Fourth-Turn expert. As long as they weren't completely surrounded by antimatter, like back on Guiyun Peak, they even had a chance of surviving a point-blank detonation.

But these things could be mass-produced. Combined with someone like Ji Donglai, who could teleport, no settlement could hope to escape the devastation.

After all, humanity's current technological weapons were not originally designed to target single, superhuman individuals.

They were designed to destroy large, concentrated groups of their own kind with maximum scale and efficiency.

Faced with the real threat of death, the once righteously indignant court ministers swallowed their curses and grumbling. One of them spoke up.

"Out with it. What does Fang Can want?"

"Three Fourth-Turn Sacrificial Artifacts, twenty Third-Turn Sacrificial Artifacts, fifty Second-Turn Sacrificial Artifacts, and two hundred First-Turn Sacrificial Artifacts. In addition, he wants twenty Cultivation Technique manuals that cover everything up to the Fourth Turn…" Even the messenger sounded uncertain as he spoke, afraid they might strike him down on the spot.

"What! Why don't you just rob us blind?!"

"Why don't we just hand over the entire Great Chu Empire while we're at it?"

...

At that moment, it wasn't just the Great Chu. Numerous factions, including the Blazing Kingdom, had received Fang Can's list of demands for compensation.

Not bothering with the bickering of the outside world, Fang Can returned to the Fang Mansion alone. The lively atmosphere from a few days ago had vanished, leaving only a desolate silence.

His followers and harem, including Ye Yonglie and Ye Qingshi, had already departed.

Fang Can had sent them away in advance to prevent them from being implicated, or to avoid any idiotic novel tropes where they might be used as leverage against him.

As he stood before the clean but deserted Fang Mansion, Fang Can pushed open the doors and stepped inside. He was surprised to see a young woman smiling and waving at him.

"Senior, it's been a while!" Feng Qiaoyan beamed, rising from her chair to greet him. "I've been waiting for a long time. Congratulations on your triumphant return."

"You're already… at the Profound Gate Ninth Layer?"

Fang Can observed the young woman's Realm in surprise. 'As expected of a gamer,' he thought, 'her leveling speed is insane.'

"That's right." Feng Qiaoyan gave him a sly smile. "I'm just waiting for you to help me with my class change, Senior. Then I can reach the First Turn."

"Class change? So, you want to receive my… legacy and abilities?"

A hint of awkwardness crossed Fang Can's face. The Forbidden Word Skill was one thing, but he was really embarrassed to reveal the existence of his AT Field. ℯℯ𝘭.

"Yes. I reached the Profound Gate Ninth Layer in the real world, but I've been stuck at this Realm for a long time. I'm counting on you, Senior," Feng Qiaoyan said, pressing her palms together in a pleading gesture.

"What… do I need to do?"

"You just need to infuse your cultivation insights into my body using your Heart Image, Senior. Then I can complete my class change," Feng Qiaoyan said with anticipation.

"Alright…"

Fang Can had no reason to refuse. After all, the young woman was indeed practicing his Cultivation Technique. He stepped toward a room. "Come inside with me. I'll help you with your class change."

Following eagerly behind him, the young woman entered the room and immediately sat cross-legged on the floor. "Is this going to be like in those novels…? I don't have to take off all my clothes, do I?"

"No, that won't be necessary. It's just a transmission of my Heart Image." As Fang Can spoke, his AT Field enveloped the young woman. He immediately felt a pulling force emanating from her.

Immediately, Feng Qiaoyan saw a notification pop up in her game log.

[Successor Legacy acquired... Analyzing... Current Analysis Progress: 1%...]

...

Inside the Fang Mansion, Feng Qiaoyan sat cross-legged on the elm floorboards.

Her unbound, raven-black hair cascaded down like a curtain. The ends fanned out, intertwining with the fractured gold of the slanting sunset to form an amber-colored spiderweb.

Looking at the charming young woman before him, her back still turned, Fang Can slowly infused his pure Heart Image into her body.

As the Heart Image enveloped her, the young woman shuddered. She felt an inexplicable power conduct from her back and spread throughout her entire body.

The sensation was indescribable. Her Heart Image was being deconstructed and analyzed by some unknown power, and the cultivation insights contained within it began to flood Feng Qiaoyan's mind.

[Successor Legacy acquired... Analyzing... Current Analysis Progress: 1%...]

As the notifications continued to appear in her game log, all sorts of knowledge and skills surfaced in Feng Qiaoyan's mind.

In just two or three seconds, four or five skills, including the Golden Body, had been clearly analyzed.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Fang Can's entire legacy was completely analyzed.

But then, Feng Qiaoyan was stunned to find that the rapidly increasing analysis progress suddenly halted. It was stuck on the AT Field.

The progress bar, which had filled almost instantly for his other abilities, came to a dead stop after analyzing 50% of the AT Field.

During the class change process, the game system was obligated to replicate and instill all of Fang Can's legacy into Feng Qiaoyan.

The [Forbidden Word Skill] was parsed with ease.

But when it came to the [AT Field], the game system faltered.

It discovered that no matter how it tried to replicate and analyze it, the AT Field simply could not be reproduced on Feng Qiaoyan with the same effect.

Adhering to its principle of providing a complete and satisfying package for the player, the system increased the computational power dedicated to analyzing Fang Can's field. It immediately sensed another layer to the AT Field's function.
