At this moment, Na'er was completely stunned. Her mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg, her eyes were vacant, and her mind was blank.

Strange belt, strange dial, suddenly taller figure, bizarre transformation process, incomprehensible mechanical sounds, reversed time... Too many strange phenomena occurred one after another, leaving her speechless for a moment. She could only stare blankly at Zhou Yang's Zi-O form, her face full of shock and bewilderment.

Just as Na'er was stunned, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes next to her, as if something was moving inside.

Zhou Yang instantly became alert, his eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously shielded Na'er behind him. His aura became sharp, and his purple-pink compound eyes gleamed as he stared intently at the patch of grass, ready to fight at any moment.

Soon, a young man slowly emerged from the bushes.

Upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, Zhou Yang was instantly stunned. His wariness vanished, replaced by pure surprise.

The newcomer was wearing a light beige coat, had fluffy blue medium-length hair, a gray-black scarf around his neck, and was holding an ancient book made of sheepskin with the words "The Record of the Descending Demon" prominently displayed on the cover.

The young man's eyes were a deep, bright blue, as profound as the sea, as if they held the entire starry sky. Just one glance was enough to draw one's spirit into them, leaving one lost and entranced.

However, at this moment, there was no malice in his eyes, only full of piety and satisfaction. His gaze was fixed on Zhou Yang, as if he were looking at his own faith.

Before Zhou Yang could even ask about the other person's identity, the young man spoke first, his tone full of admiration and expectation, his voice loud and clear, echoing through the forest:

"Rejoice! The King of Time has been born! He is Kamen Rider Zi-O, who embodies the power of all Riders, transcends time and space, and knows the past and the future!"

This celebration, which started with a zero-frame shot, came too suddenly; even Zhou Yang didn't have time to react.

He originally just wanted to give Na'er a simple demonstration of his Rider transformation.

Who would have thought that a Woz would actually appear! Moreover, this Woz seemed to be different from the one he remembered.

Just as Zhou Yang was about to call out "Woz," the young man knelt down on one knee, his tone full of apology: "I'm sorry, Demon King. I know you have many questions. I just want to record your heroic figure and witness your growth."

He nodded, his words filled with utmost sincerity. Zhou Yang could feel the faith and loyalty emanating from Wozniak—an absolute certainty that served as his unwavering commitment.

If he asked Woz to die, he would probably do so without hesitation.

However, what puzzled Zhou Yang was his origins.

Woz seemed to understand Zhou Yang's thoughts and quickly said, "At the moment, I can't offer you any help. You'll have to uncover and control everything yourself. I'll patiently wait for the day you arrive, and please forgive my disrespect."

"I won't disturb your cultivation any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's figure gradually became transparent, like a mirage, and vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.

Silence returned to the forest, leaving only Zhou Yang and Na'er, bewildered in the wind.

Zhou Yang was silent for a moment, then smiled with relief.

Clearly, he couldn't get any useful information from Woz at the moment.

After all, Woz was also incredibly elusive in the Zi-O TV series.

However, the one in front of him was clearly a riddle-maker.

Instead of racking his brains asking these riddle-solving people, he decided to wait for things to unfold as they would. He had a feeling that the day when he would soon discover the truth was coming.

Moreover, it's clear that Wozniak has no ill intentions; he simply wants to be Wozniak's "celebrator" and witness his every step of growth.

He thought that when he transformed into Kamen Rider again, he would appear on his own.

Just consider it as having another celebratory monster by your side.

Since he couldn't get any useful information for the time being, he might as well let nature take its course. After all, he possessed the power of the Demon King and controlled time, so he didn't think any difficulties could defeat him.

After a long period of stunned silence, Na'er finally snapped out of her daze. A flood of questions overwhelmed her. She grabbed Zhou Yang's arm and chattered, "Boss! Boss! Who was that just now? What Demon King? And what's that transformation? Why were there strange noises? Why did the fallen leaves return to the tree? Your armor is so cool, what is it?"

Looking at Na'er's eager and curious expression, Zhou Yang smiled helplessly, reached out and gently touched her little head. Looking at the girl who seemed particularly small in front of him because of the height difference, his eyes were full of helplessness and doting.

In the end, all of Na'er's attention was focused on Zhou Yang's Zi-O armor, her eyes filled with envy and curiosity.

"Wow, this is amazing. It has a metallic feel that is completely different from any other metal armor in Douluo Continent. It even looks more advanced than the battle armor."

Hearing Na'er's impressive praise, Zhou Yang was also very happy.

This was the second time he had transformed into Kamen Rider in public. The first time was with Tang Wulin. At that time, Zhou Yang told Tang Wulin the story of Kamen Rider to help him shape his values. He also specifically told Tang Wulin the story of Agito and Driver.

When Tang Wulin heard that Chase had died protecting Gang, he wept uncontrollably and his eyes turned completely red. He glared at Gold with hatred. Later, when he heard that Gang had picked up the signal axe and personally killed his bastard father, ending his own cowardice, he was overjoyed.

He knew that Tang Wulin hadn't raised him badly. He also knew that Tang Wulin wouldn't make decisions that would disappoint him in the future.

Therefore, he specifically showed Tang Wulin his transformation and told him the truth and meaning of those stories.

Thinking about it now, I really do feel nostalgic.

Coming to his senses, Zhou Yang led Na'er to explore the forest in search of soul beasts.

To satisfy the girl's curiosity, Zhou Yang also decided to show off his abilities.

The two continued deeper into the forest, and before long, they encountered their first soul beast—the Ice and Fire Demon Tiger.

This is a soul beast of the same level as the Human-Faced Demon Spider, with formidable strength. Its entire body is covered with brownish-yellow fur, densely covered with dark purple patterns, making it look quite strange. It has heterochromatic eyes, with an ice-blue left eye and a fiery red right eye, its gaze sharp and revealing a bloodthirsty ferocity. It also has a pair of red and blue wings on its back, the same color as its eyes, which are majestic when spread out. True to its name, it possesses both ice and fire aura.

This Ice-Fire Demon Tiger was six meters long and over one and a half meters tall at the shoulder. The moment Na'er saw it, she quickly analyzed its strength based on her knowledge and experience: "Boss, this is an Ice-Fire Demon Tiger. It has at least four thousand years of cultivation, and its strength is about the same as the Human-Faced Demon Spider. Let's join forces to deal with it!"

As she spoke, Na'er gripped the silver dragon spear tightly, leaned forward slightly, assumed a fighting stance, and stared warily at the Ice and Fire Demon Tiger, preparing to join forces with Zhou Yang to fight the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang suddenly spoke up, his tone relaxed and calm: "There's no need for that."
