Chapter 205: Temporary Experience Card, Catastrophe Tier White Fu Descends! [54k]

Thanks to the boost provided by her Ghost Form, even without using the “Mind Blessing” skill, White Fu managed to break through Tessia’s encirclement, leaving Tessia far behind. Even when Tessia attempted to attack using spider silk, she couldn’t get close to White Fu at all.

However, White Fu did not relax because of this.

After transforming into a Shadow Phantom form, her stamina would be greatly consumed. Once her stamina dropped below a certain threshold, she would no longer be able to maintain the Shadow Phantom form.

If the pursuer were someone else, White Fu wouldn’t have much to worry about. But it was Tessia who was chasing her!

She could easily defeat Youlia, but if her opponent were Tessia, even five of her might not be enough to surround and capture White Fu in the end.

[Sorry, I couldn’t let Miss Tessia have a good time.]

There was no choice; Tessia was the ultimate endurance champion with a staggering 1764 health points!

Unless absolutely necessary, White Fu didn’t want to clash with her.

Considering how terrifying Tessia’s endurance was, the moment White Fu decided to run away, she set her destination as the Well of Psychic Abilities.

A hidden map that could only be unlocked using the Psychic Evolution Tree Map?

If so, could she close the door after entering, leaving Tessia unable to do anything but stand outside and lament?

Regardless of whether it worked or not, White Fu decided to give it a try. If it failed, she could always find another place to hide.

Thus, the two moved at an incredibly fast speed across the surface of Jin Gu Star.

This action caught Foster’s attention.

Due to Onandi’s disappearance, Foster had been arranging for people to search for Onandi and Scarlet Leaf separately. However, he suddenly received a message indicating that someone resembling Tessia had been discovered on the plains.

“Let me see!”

Foster opened the surveillance video sent from his subordinates. Although the video did not capture Tessia’s face clearly, he immediately recognized her as the person rapidly passing through the camera’s view.

After some contemplation, he issued new orders.

“Everyone except those searching for Onandi should stop what they’re doing and come with me to find Tessia!”

Foster was furious.

He believed that all the troubles he faced while chasing White Fu were due to Tessia.

If Tessia had joined them from the beginning, they probably wouldn’t have been tricked by the fake White Fus, and even if they were, with Tessia around, they could have definitely captured the Void War Princess, forcing White Fu to reveal herself.

Now, they hadn’t caught anyone, and Onandi was missing. Who else could be blamed if not Tessia? Could it be him?

Impossible.

His plan had no issues!

“If I can’t escape this trap, Tessia, you won’t be able to leave either. Even if I die, I’ll take you down with me!”

With a fierce look in his eyes, Foster ordered most of the fleet to turn and head in the direction Tessia had left.

Ten minutes later.

White Fu dived underwater, stopping after descending several hundred meters above a dark, muddy ground.

The game map showed that the small circle representing her overlapped with the question mark indicating the entrance to the hidden map, the Well of Psychic Abilities.

“Who would think to hide in such a place? A normal person couldn’t possibly imagine.”

While complaining, White Fu pulled out the Psychic Evolution Tree Map.

As soon as the map unfolded, a soft blue light illuminated the muddy ground, and a pleasant game prompt sounded.

[Hidden Map [Well of Psychic Abilities] has been unlocked]

Good, now…

Just as White Fu raised her leg, she received over a dozen notifications.

“Hmm?”

She paused and opened the new notifications.

[You discovered a one-time skill [Adamantine Body], do you wish to absorb it using the Psychic Evolution Tree Map?]

[You discovered a one-time skill [Molecular Disintegration], do you…]

All notifications followed the same format, totaling thirteen.

White Fu randomly tapped one notification and found that the skill’s strength had reached the Catastrophe Tier.

[Adamantine Body]: Temporarily transform your body into an unmovable Adamantine form, significantly reducing mental attacks. Remaining uses (1/1).

White Fu was stunned.

She came here just to avoid detection and buy time until the joint fleet arrived. But now, it seemed like she didn’t need to hide anymore?

Even though these thirteen skills couldn’t overturn the fleet sent by the Secret Tower, they could kill several S+ tier psychics who weren’t prepared. Even if they couldn’t kill them all, they would surely scare them into submission.

Thinking this, White Fu became more composed.

She decisively ended her Shadow Phantom form. At that moment, a whirlpool erupted behind her, and Tessia had caught up.

“You’re really persistent.”

White Fu turned around and said helplessly over the broadcast channel.

Before she finished speaking, five black magic orbs appeared above her head, and chaotic spiritual energy beams shot out, followed by spinning magical blades.

Even confident in her own abilities, Tessia chose not to confront White Fu head-on, instead dodging her attacks gracefully like a black water snake.

“Are you not running anymore? Are you setting up an ambush nearby, or are you too exhausted to move?”

Tessia’s voice was cold, but there was an undeniable excitement mixed in.

Thinking about catching White Fu, she felt her body heat up, especially where White Fu had punched her three times.

White Fu smiled at Tessia, “There’s no need for that anymore. Let’s resolve our conflict right here.”

As she spoke, she secretly activated her communicator to send Foster her coordinates, hoping to lure him over. But she stopped before completing the action.

It seemed unnecessary.

White Fu looked up.

Tessia mirrored her movement.

Suddenly, the dark seabed lit up with blinding light, and behind it, the sea currents surged as Foster led hundreds of people straight toward them.

“Hahaha…”

Foster laughed loudly.

He had come to find Tessia, but unexpectedly, he also found White Fu, who had been hiding.

Isn’t this what they say—when you least expect it, you find what you seek?

His resentment towards Tessia instantly vanished, knowing she would help him catch White Fu.

“White Fu, where do you think you’re running to now!”

Foster clenched his right fist tightly, filled with excitement. The people behind him, who had been fooled by Phantom Fu earlier, were also excited.

Contrastingly, both White Fu and Tessia frowned.

Tessia frowned because she didn’t want to hand White Fu over to the Secret Tower, but Foster’s sudden arrival made her plan uncertain. This discomfort made her feel sick and her body cool down.

White Fu frowned because Foster and his team arrived too quickly. She hadn’t completed absorbing the skills, and if Foster attacked now, something unexpected might happen. She needed to buy time.

Ah!

White Fu locked eyes with Tessia.

As Tessia looked puzzled, White Fu flashed a sweet smile.

“Come in with me.”

After saying this, White Fu turned and walked directly into the Well of Psychic Abilities.

Tessia was confused, completely unsure of what White Fu was doing. Her smile was perplexing.

But despite her confusion, she quickly followed White Fu into the well.

“Don’t think you can escape!”

“Foster, should we follow?” Bronze Cauldron asked.

Although he was stronger than Foster, Foster was the designated fleet commander, so he respected Foster’s opinion.

Foster’s expression changed slightly, worried it might be a trap, but he realized he was already trapped. Whether he caught White Fu or not, he would die anyway. There was no hesitation.

“Follow!”

He led the charge, and the others followed, rushing into the Well of Psychic Abilities.

Through the blue, translucent elliptical gate, Foster found himself in a tall cavern. But he had no time to admire it as he saw White Fu embrace Tessia.

“?”

Is this… Demon Magician?!

Foster was stunned.

Tessia was also stunned, but she quickly realized this was a perfect opportunity to capture White Fu.

Whoosh—

Black spider legs emerged from the spider web-like silk and stabbed at White Fu’s limbs.

White Fu neither dodged nor blocked, taking the attack head-on.

Clang!

To Tessia’s surprise, the spider legs didn’t pierce White Fu’s skin. It was as if she was made of high-strength alloy.

When did White Fu become so tough?

Tessia was bewildered, but White Fu wasn’t.

Child, this is Adamantine Body!

She hugged Tessia tighter, smiling happily, “Thank you, Tessia. Without you, I never would have known Foster had a psychic named Onandi who could locate my hiding place through profiling. Thanks to you, I was able to bring them here so easily.”

What?

Hearing this, Foster’s pupils dilated, and the other members of the Secret Tower were shocked.

White Fu’s words contained a lot of information.

Onandi was taken by Tessia, and Tessia had secretly aligned with White Fu?

How was this possible?

They found it hard to believe.

But White Fu knew Onandi’s name and ability, which meant she had actually met him. Either she took Onandi, or Tessia gave him to her.

Foster gasped, “Tessia, what’s going on? Did you really take Onandi? Where is he now?”

Tessia also wanted to know what was happening. How could her spider legs not harm White Fu? Now wasn’t the time to ponder this. White Fu was trying to disrupt her relationship with the Secret Tower, so she needed to explain quickly.

“The situation isn’t…”

“Tessia!”

White Fu raised her voice, cutting Tessia off. With the dual boost of Mind Blessing and Adamantine Body, even with Tessia’s high strength, she couldn’t break free momentarily.

“You told me you liked me. I like you too, but I was afraid you didn’t feel the same. So I didn’t confess. Your words made me so happy I got flustered. Now I’m calm. Tessia, let’s be together!”

Tessia’s face darkened.

Though she disobeyed the Head Butler’s command, she never intended to betray the Secret Tower and align with White Fu.

“Let me go!”

Tessia’s aura exploded, and spider legs, spider silk, and various life-draining and resistance-lowering skills bombarded White Fu, but White Fu, with Adamantine Body, was unfazed.

Losing 1-200 health points per second?

No panic. Her health was over 30,000 points, plenty of time to act.

“I won’t let you go. This time, I won’t release you. Tessia, there’s no point in keeping our relationship secret anymore. Trust me, I’ll deal with Foster and company here. Then, you can either return to the Secret Tower or stay with me. The decision is yours!”

“…”

Youlia, residing within White Fu, silently mourned for Tessia.

Encountering White Fu, a master actress, was a fate Tessia couldn’t escape.

Indeed, it was.

How could Foster know about White Fu’s Adamantine Body buff? To him, Tessia hitting White Fu repeatedly without any effect was because White Fu was resilient, not because Tessia held back.

Fighting?

Flirting!

Tessia must have accepted White Fu’s confession and was embarrassed, repeatedly hitting her. This was normal behavior for a young woman in love.

Damn it!

Foster was infuriated.

He chased White Fu for so long, finally catching up, only to be shown affection between White Fu and Tessia. What sins did he commit in his past life to suffer like this?

Damn it, who gave birth to White Fu and brought her to the Sea Lion Galaxy?

“Good, very good, Tessia. Since you’ve betrayed the Secret Tower, there’s no need for formalities. Today, I’ll take care of both of you here. Attack!”

Foster commanded.

The other members of the Secret Tower were equally enraged. Upon receiving the order, they charged forward.

Kill, kill, kill!

Kill Tessia, then capture White Fu as a hostage!

Seeing this, Tessia panicked, “Don’t believe White Fu, she’s lying…”

“I’m not lying, Tessia. I truly like you.”

“I’ll kill you, White…”

“I don’t believe you’ll kill me.”

White Fu and Tessia clashed fiercely.

Actually, even if White Fu hadn’t interrupted Tessia, many people wouldn’t have believed her.

The reason was simple: Tessia was already unpopular in the Secret Tower, seen as a monster by most. It made sense that she betrayed the Secret Tower out of perceived discrimination.

Moreover, assuming Tessia had aligned with White Fu, many things could be explained logically.

Why couldn’t Tessia catch White Fu on Ulysses and Tide Star Systems?

Because she had aligned with White Fu.

Why did Tessia rush out when the Secret Tower planned to deal with White Fu?

Because she wanted to inform White Fu.

Not because the enemy was too strong, but because of a traitor in their ranks!

Bronze Cauldron was particularly angry, feeling a chill. If Tessia hadn’t pretended earlier, he would have likely died.

Die, you monster!

Bronze Cauldron angrily struck Tessia.

At this moment, White Fu released Tessia and said with a smile, “Tessia, watch my performance closely.”

If she kept watching, she’d die from rage!

The instant Tessia broke free, she attacked White Fu, intending to cripple her and dispel her lies.

But she underestimated White Fu.

White Fu released her at this moment because she was fully prepared.

“Although I’ve only absorbed four skills, it’s enough.”

A sharp gleam flashed in White Fu’s eyes.

She transformed into a Shadow Phantom and escaped at the critical moment when two opposing energies were about to collide.

The next second, she resumed human form, but her eyes turned a bizarre crimson red.

Boom!

An extremely terrifying energy wave erupted from her body.

In that instant, the entire cavern seemed frozen.

[You used a one-time skill [Ice Binding]]

“This…”

Foster’s eyes widened in terror.

He realized this was beyond S+ tier energy, a Catastrophe Tier energy!

But what use was realizing it?

He couldn’t move. He was frozen, from his body to his strength, only his thoughts remained active, but he wasn’t a Mentalist. He could only watch as a silver dust settled on Bronze Cauldron, the one leading the charge.

This move was still Catastrophe Tier!

Bronze Cauldron didn’t even have time to scream. As the silver dust entered his body, his lower half disappeared.

Yes, it vanished!

Smoothly, without any rough edges.

Once the ice effect dissipated, Bronze Cauldron’s upper body fell to the ground with a thud, entrails, organs, and blood spilling out, creating a gruesome scene.

Bronze Cauldron’s resilience was truly remarkable, even in such dire straits, he still clung to life.

“You, I…”

Bronze Cauldron stared at White Fu, never imagining such a fate.

White Fu waved her hand, the Prayer Card dissipated, and a dozen gunners emerged, attacking Bronze Cauldron’s body.

Others watched in shock, including Tessia, none daring to intervene to save Bronze Cauldron.

How could they save him?

Catastrophe Tier!

White Fu had reached Catastrophe Tier!

Foster was shaken to his core. More panicked than when he discovered “Jin Gu Star was full of immortals,” he realized how fragile he was. Fear consumed his mind and body, robbing him of his composure.

Why, if White Fu was Catastrophe Tier, why didn’t she crush them in one encounter instead of luring them here?

Tessia was equally confused.

If White Fu was so powerful, what was the point of the earlier performance? Was it all an act?

Click-click-click—

The sound of high heels echoed in the cavern as White Fu stepped from the shadows into a brighter area. Holding a black staff, she raised her chin and looked down at the crowd, her face devoid of smiles, only icy killing intent.

“Let me show you the fear of death!”

PS: I originally planned to update earlier today, but something came up. I’ll try to update in the evening tomorrow.
