Just then, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

Azure Dragon stood up, his aura of authority rising abruptly. He opened the door, where Kan Water, dressed in a doctor's uniform, stood.

"Has Dao Yi woken up?" Kan Water Shui peeked inside.

Fan Daoyi raised his hand and gestured to indicate his situation.

Upholding his medical ethics, he examined her again, and after confirming that all the data were correct, he was relieved. "Your condition is better than those two."

"Aren't they awake yet?" Fan Daoyi couldn't help but ask, hearing Kan Water's words.

"Yes, they are currently at the Fusion Realm, and their use of abilities is more about saving them up than being able to allocate them at will."

This time, all our savings have been depleted, and it won't be able to recover anytime soon.

Fan Daoyi nodded, got out of bed, and picked up his bamboo cane. "May I go take a look?"

"Of course." Kan Water did not refuse.

He led the way, taking Fan Daoyi to a room.

Pushing open the door, I entered to find both of them lying flat on their backs with their eyes closed.

Fan Daoyi narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the swirling energy vortex. It hovered near the two of them, but did not actively draw them in. Only those who accidentally touched their bodies were absorbed into it and accumulated.

He glanced back at Kan Water, and the surrounding energy vortex surged towards him in a frenzy. As Governance Realm, they were praising their king.

Kan Water was a little confused by Fan Daoyi's sudden gaze. He raised his hand and touched his face. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No," Fan Daoyi head, "It's just that my mastery of space has allowed me to see some different things."

"What?" Kan Water asked curiously.

"Like microscopic molecules floating in the air, and I seem to be able to easily control them." Fan Daoyi slightly turned his index finger, using external force to help He Piaojian introduce them.

An invisible vortex rose from He Piaojian others, sucking in all the small particles outside and into their bodies.

Although Kan Water could not see the unusual phenomenon, he keenly sensed that something was amiss.

After a long while, He Piaojian and Weiyang, who were still unconscious, opened their eyes somewhat groggily.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

The three questions posed to them made the surroundings feel completely unfamiliar.

My consciousness went blank for a moment, then I suddenly woke up, and my memory couldn't keep up.

After a few minutes of dazed confusion upon opening their eyes, they finally remembered everything and sat up, supporting themselves on the bed.

"Is the ability to manipulate space really that amazing? No wonder Xun Wind said your talent is terrifying." Kan Water looked at them, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

According to his estimate, it would be several more days before they woke up.

But this...

"Power bank?" A suitable word inexplicably popped into his mind.

But then Kan Water frowned, because this ability was simply too illogical.

Nationwide, no, it should be said worldwide, no one possesses this ability. Not even those who possess spatial abilities, or even the only spatial-type Governance Realm, possess this ability.

"Dao Yi..." He began to doubt, "Does this ability truly belong to the space?"

"The probability of the Fusion Realm defeating Governance Realm is almost zero. Since He Piaojian succeeded, why can't I be an exception?"

"This is unbelievable." Kan Water couldn't believe it, but trusting Fan Daoyi, he smiled and said, "Xun Wind's Intuition is indeed useful. Two geniuses who surpass everyone else have appeared in the same era, and we've managed to recruit them both."

"No," Fan Daoyi denied, "The only genius of this era is He Piaojian."

Kan Water gave a forced smile and chuckled, saying, "It's just a simple compliment, no need to be so modest."

"Kan Water, He Piaojian's strength is well-known, but I'm just given a title. You understand what I mean, right?"

In an instant, Kan Water understood the reasoning. His expression turned serious, and he nodded solemnly. "I understand."

"Understand what?" He Piaojian had only listened halfway through, was somewhat confused. "Since Dao Yi is nameless, can't he just use his talent to build his reputation?"

Kan Water walked over to He Piaojian and said, "Silly child, you must have hurt your head. Let me check it out for you."

"No, I really don't understand. Can't we stop being riddle-makers among our own people?"

Kan Water's gaze fell on Weiyang standing to the side.

Weiyang was taken aback for a moment, then understood what he meant. "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go."

After Weiyang left, Kan Water turned off the surveillance cameras in the ward and manipulated the water dew to cover it, creating an absolutely secluded environment.

"A skill that is too special cannot be given preferential treatment in certain situations," Kan Water began to explain.

"He Piaojian, generally speaking, at the Governance Realm, the consumption of power is often greater than the absorption, so we focus more on storing power."

"I know that," He Piaojian nodded.

"So when activating a large-scale ability, everyone experiences a recovery period of several days. Everyone is the same; there have never been exceptions."

"But now..." Kan Water Fan Daoyi, "The appearance of someone has accelerated this process."

"Isn't this a good thing?" He Piaojian asked, puzzled. "This way, it will be more advantageous for us in certain situations."

"Yes, this is a good thing." Kan Water didn't deny it. "But it's too good. What do you think... if everyone knows about this and agrees that it's a great thing, what will happen in the end? Or what will other countries do if they know about Dao Yi's ability?"

An absolutely versatile power bank, a unique existence with only one available.

"Struggle or... death?" Two possibilities flashed through He Piaojian's mind.

"Yes, people will think that they should either hold onto it tightly or believe that this special status shouldn't exist. As long as no one possesses it, no one is an exception."

"In that case, just to be on the safe side..."

A non-existent fourth voice echoed in the room. A cloud of mist condensed, and the figure of Azure Dragon appeared within.

Kan Water frowned slightly and teased, "Azure Dragon, you're such a grown man, why are you still doing this eavesdropping stuff?"

"Oh, I think this creates a great atmosphere. By the way, it serves as a warning to you; your methods aren't discreet enough."

He stepped forward in the mist, and in the blink of an eye, placed his hands on Kan Water and He Piaojian's foreheads respectively. "To be on the safe side, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Do you agree with this view?"

"Um."

"Certainly."

Kan Water and He Piaojian replied together.

"So, I'll make my move?"

"What?" The two were stunned by the words and before they could react, they received a solid flick on the forehead.

When they regained their senses, they had forgotten their conversation. Then, the Azure Dragon created illusions in their minds to fill the gaps in their memories.

Fan Daoyi observed everything in silence.
