What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

"Don't do it that way yet. When you encounter a problem, you need to find out the cause and then solve it slowly." The projection's expression was very focused, completely different from its previous unreliable state.

"Okay, fine."

Yang Xi still respected his seniors, even though it was a projection whose structure he didn't know.

To be honest, Yang Xi had an urge to take it apart and study it.

The projection circled the device sealing the Philosopher's Stone several times, and the pink light shining through its "body" was quite beautiful.

"Damn it, if I were the original body, I could study it properly!"

Something must have happened to the Philosopher's Stone.

"This invisible and intangible situation," the projection glanced at Yang Xi with a strange look, "could it be that the Philosopher's Stone doesn't like you?"

"Why don't you try finding another race from the Blue Star?"

The projection was finally proposed.

Yang Xi was speechless and was about to complain about this unreliable projector when a commotion came from the laboratory outside.

what happened?

Could it be that some strange beast has followed us in?

Yang Xi quickly transformed back into Anastas's appearance.

The projection said, "What's your current state called? I'm afraid I might accidentally let it slip during our conversation later."

Yang Xi said irritably, "Her name is Anastas! I'm telling you, if you're worried about being exposed, you should hide her first."

"No, I've kept this to myself for so many years, I'm not going to hide it anymore, absolutely not!"

Yang Xi sighed helplessly. This guy's personality was completely different from the writing style of the Alchemy Notebook. Could it be that it was just something like artificial intelligence created by Master Damon?

Or should it be called alchemical intelligence?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is a part of Damon's consciousness.

What methods a fourth-tier expert possesses is beyond Yang Xi's current comprehension.

Even though the projection refused to cooperate, Yang Xi wouldn't indulge it and manipulated the metal to seal off the area.

As the metal wall closed, the projection screamed, "Hey, you can't do that!"

Yang Xi didn't bother with the projection. Although it was an untouchable Philosopher's Stone, Yang Xi didn't want others to know about its existence.

Soon, Yang Xi confirmed the identity of the uninvited guest: Durankis, the son of the city lord of Bright City on the New Frey Continent.

He was about two meters tall, with eyebrows made of dark blue flames, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes. He was a handsome man who looked like a sculpture.

He was also one of Anastas's suitors.

But Anasta avoided him like the plague, because unlike other suitors who only sought pleasure for a night, Duran genuinely wanted to marry her.

Of course, Duran's goal was Anastas's noble Cecil bloodline.

In Anastas's words, "I just wanted to have some fun with you, and you want me to have your baby? Dream on!"

How could the Cecil family's noble bloodline possibly be leaked out?

In the plane of Osider, the Keith family, whose inherited superpower is the Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon bloodline, is just a small family with some fame, and is not at all on the same level as the ancient and powerful Cecil family.

However, Duran's expression was somewhat strange at this moment.

"Miss Anastas, what are you doing here?"

To be honest, Yang Xi was very annoyed by the guy's expression, which was as if he were looking at prey. He mimicked the cold attitude Anasta remembered and said, "None of your business."

After saying that, Yang Xi walked past Du Lan, intending to leave first.

But Duran had no intention of letting her go. With a command, two burly figures appeared in the passageway.

They were Duran's two bodyguards, who were also second-tier superhuman warriors of the Keith family.

Duran waved his hand helplessly, "Miss Anasta, I've already given you a lot of face. How long are you going to keep up this act in front of me? Aren't you quite the social butterfly in Bright City? You can even accept those lowly natives, so why do you look down on me, Durankith?"

Yang Xi sensed something was wrong and became secretly wary. "I just don't like the look of you, get lost!"

Duran sneered, completely dropping his pretense. "I think you're asking for it. I chased you all the way from New Frey Continent to the front lines, and even got cursed on. Do you think I'd go back empty-handed?"

"Since you've left the radiation range of the reconnaissance eye and found such a secluded place, you might as well obediently become the breeding ground for my offspring!"

As he spoke, the heir of the Keith family emitted a dazzling red light, red scales grew on his body, and his size continued to increase. In just a few seconds, he transformed into a terrifying Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon.

His eyes were like two burning flames, and with a sweep of his tail, the items in the laboratory were scattered in disarray.

Damn it!

Yang Xi cursed, dodged the attack, and fired a withered arrow while holding the bowstring between his fingers!

"Hehe, I knew you'd do this!"

Duran grinned menacingly and exhaled a breath of dragon's breath, which burned the withered arrow to ashes in mid-air.

The dragon's breath, still powerful, sprayed onto the ground, eroding and burning a bright yellow lava pool.

Duran, in his Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon form, said in a deep voice, "Think about it again. If you obediently comply, I might be a little gentler!"

Yang Xi glanced at the two guys blocking his way behind him, then looked at the lava pool, and immediately made up his mind.

"I, Anasta, will rather die than let you succeed!"

After saying that, Yang Xi jumped into the lava pool, and a few drops of lava fell to the ground, emitting a puff of white steam.

Duran was stunned, clutching his head with both hands. "What's going on! Has this woman lost her mind?! She'll just die if she jumps!"

Even the two second-tier superhuman warriors blocking the cave entrance were dumbfounded. Judging from the reputation of Bright City, this female warrior from the Cecil family didn't seem like the kind of chaste and virtuous woman they were!

Duran quickly rushed into the lava pool, suspecting that Anasta might not be dead and was just trying to escape him through this means!

Large amounts of lava spewed out, but the two superpowered warriors neither dodged nor avoided it. They also possessed this superpower, so what was there to be afraid of?

The bald warrior said, "Do you think young master Duran can still get this woman out?"

The superhuman warrior with his sunglasses and center-parted hair curled his lip. "Who knows? As long as I make sure the young master doesn't die, that's all that matters. As for other things, they're none of our business."

"That's true."

The bald man looked at the bubbling lava and nodded.

Duran searched around in the lava and suddenly felt someone pat his dragon horns. He turned around in surprise and saw a handsome man.

Yang Xi was immune to the damage from the magma thanks to the Flame Lord's abilities.

"Better late than early. You can be my disguise. I'm not quite used to pretending to be a woman."

"what?"

Before Duran could react, he was plunged into darkness.

A few minutes later, Yang Xi, disguised as Duran, climbed out of the lava pool and cursed, "That bitch, she burned everything to ashes!"

The bald superpowered warrior said, "The breath of the Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon is something that ordinary people cannot withstand. This woman is not strong enough; jumping in is simply courting death!"

Sunglasses quickly comforted his young master: "Young master, there are still some of these fallen nobles on the New Frey Continent, we can just look for more."

Yang Xi shrugged and spat in annoyance, "Let's go, what a waste of time!"

He glanced back at the metal wall he had created.

Looks like I'll have to find a way to come back again.

But at that moment, a dark figure appeared in the passageway, tossing a dagger and looking at Yang Xi disguised as Du Lan with a mocking expression.

314 all wanted to kill to silence them.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect the young master of the Keith family to be so unscrupulous. He not only failed to win Miss Anasta's heart, but also drove her to her death."

Yang Xi replied in Duran's usual arrogant tone, "Who are you? What I do is none of your business."

Two superhuman warriors stood guard in front of Yang Xi, the shadowy figure posing a much greater threat than Anastas had just encountered, indicating considerable strength.

"Who am I? I'm just an ordinary mercenary." The shadowy figure caught his dagger and finally turned his face.

Yang Xi had already processed Duran's memories and recognized the person's identity.

He is a wanted criminal in Bright City, the "Double-Edged Killer" whose arm was bitten off by Duran's father, the patriarch of the Keith family.

"So it was you, the Double-Edged Assassin. No, no, after my father bit off one of your arms, you shouldn't be able to use double-edged blades anymore, right?"

Well, given Durant's personality, this level of mockery is probably the best he can come up with.

Disguise also tests Yang Xi's acting skills.

The double-edged assassin sneered, revealing his two intact arms. "Thanks to your father, I paid a huge price to get my arms back from that genius doctor."

At this point, the double-edged assassin's tone grew increasingly sinister, "I swore that I would repay you and your son twofold for the torment I suffered to regain my strength!"

The genius doctor is a powerful superhuman, possibly at the fourth level.

He is very famous among the powerful in the New Frey Continent. His special ability can cure many difficult diseases and even help people regenerate severed limbs.

However, he not only collects magic crystals, but also requires patients to cooperate with him in conducting some bizarre experiments. Some of these experiments are extremely cruel, and it is said that some people have been driven insane by them.

One can only imagine what this double-edged assassin went through.

No wonder he traveled all the way to the front lines to hunt down Durant.

Fearing his young master might act impulsively, the bald man reminded him, "Young Master Duran, when this double-edged assassin was being hunted down by the clan leader, he was already very close to the third rank. Now that he dares to appear here, he may already be at the third rank!"

The man in sunglasses also looked very serious. "If he's at the third level, then we have no choice but to run."

He looked around, glanced at the metal wall that Yang Xi had blocked, and transformed into the form of a blue-eyed fire dragon. He charged at it, shouting, "Once I break through this wall, we'll run away from here!"

His transformation was much larger than Durant's, reaching a height of five meters.

However, a comical scene unfolded: his fierce impact not only failed to break through the seemingly fragile metal wall, but was instead bounced back.

The bald man complained, "Marco, did you skip dinner? You can't even break through a metal wall?"

"Damn it, something's weird about this wall!"

Marjoe stood up, clutching his dragon arm. If it weren't for the Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon bloodline providing ample physical defense, he might have broken his arm.

"Hmph, you try to defend? Behold my dragon breath!"

The bald man also transformed into a five-meter-tall Azure-Eyed Flame Dragon, opening his mouth to spew dragon breath at the metal wall.
