Super Vanguard Li Lin?

Within the club.

"It's all someone's fault for cheating." Madison glanced at Basil, "She favored that bitch Katy, giving Susan [Soul Fragment] that rightfully belonged to her [Cosmic Sonic]."

"Just because she was destined to die."

"Brother Li cheats too." Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. "Tell me more about it?"

She has now awakened the power of the [Twelve Talismans], and is now under strict supervision by Uncle Long. She has also been asked to have her Old Man extract the power of her [Talismans] and give it to Section 13, so that it can stay away from these supernatural things.

She was almost speechless. Uncle Long would rather believe the America organization Section 13 than his Old Man, who was a great sorcerer.

Therefore, she spent almost all of this time in the club.

Or they could go play in Mei's world.

She even begged Brother Li to get her a Soul of the Car too.

They also participated in mini-car races within the club.

Even so, she was still incredibly bored.

It gives the illusion that Uncle Long is still nagging from a different world.

Now, upon hearing that even the seemingly righteous and upright Brother Li cheats, in addition to romantic relationships, I suddenly feel much more energetic.

Madison coughed. "That's how it is."

"Is that all?" Xiaoyu said, cupping her face in her hands.

"Do you need my help?" Basil asked.

Xiaoyu's depression stemmed from Jackie Chan.

Within the world of Projected 4WD, there is still one month until the Da Shen Cup.

There was nothing he needed to pay special attention to.

"Need."

Crossing the World Divider

San Francisco, Old Man's Antique Shop.

"Xiaoyu".

"Xiaoyu, you—"

Some people attract everyone's attention as soon as they appear in a crowd.

Basil is clearly that kind of person.

Neither Old Man nor Jackie Chan could attend to Jade for the time being.

"You have no breath. A god? Or a demon?"

"You're the Brother Li who corrupted Xiaoyu?"

"The New Year, and there's even the smell of dragons." Basil, aka Li Lin, ignored Jackie Chan and his Old Man, looking at Jade with surprise. "How did you resurrect the Wizard? You clearly—"

"Hehe." Xiaoyu walked out from behind with her hands behind her back. "I just thought that maybe if the Wizard collects Twelve Talismans, Uncle Long and the others will give up on extracting the so-called power of the talismans from me."

"Now it's balanced, isn't it?"

Xiaoyu shrank her neck.

Basil looked at his Old Man and Jackie Chan, "You should be on the plane with Captain Black right now."

"Ah, I understand."

"Xiaoyu".

"Destroying one demon will bring forth an even greater demon."

"A strong sense of justice needs an equally strong sense of evil to balance it."

"You believe this is a result of balance."

"The imbalance between a living Jade who possesses the [Twelve Talismans] and a petrified the Wizard who nominally still possesses the [Twelve Talismans] is unbalanced, so you want to be like Saint Liu Bei."

"Is that the reason?" Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "But didn't I tell you that you don't need to worry about the balance between [Positive Qi] and [dark energy] from now on!"

"Is that so, Old Man?" Jackie Chan also looked at his Old Man.

"You've helped the Wizard collect Twelve Talismans," Basil reminded Xiaoyu.

"That's how it is." The Old Man coughed.

"The moment the New Year's bells rang was the beginning of the destruction that the Wizard brought to the descendants of those who sealed him away, to his former territory of Asia." Basil tapped his fingers on the air, Dotty ripples spread outwards.

An image of the Wizard flying at high speed over the Pacific Ocean appears from the center of the ripples.

"How did you do that? I didn't see any breath at all." The Old Man's Old Man widened. "Unless—"

"Yes, Xiaoyu is telling the truth. Her power really does come from another world," Basil said. "Do you need my help? If you're willing, I can strip him of the [Rat Talisman]'s power right now, turn him into a statue, and let him sink to the bottom of the sea."

"The most important thing now is when you can leave. Take your strength with you," the Old Man said.

The concept of another world is not unfamiliar to the world of Jackie Chan Adventures.

The evil dragon under the Wizard's command lives in another world.

There is also Hell, where the Eight Great Demons reside.

The ascension of the Eight Immortals was also like this.

The other world is not included in the balance between [Positive Qi] and [darkness].

His Old Man, being a high-ranking mage, knew this very well.

In his view, as long as Basil left this world with the power he had given to Xiaoyu.

Although the [dark energy] might gain the upper hand for a time, as a descendant of the lineage of the Grand Mage who has long represented the [Positive Qi], he already has a countermeasure.

Each time he confronts a demon, the evil force consults a book, not because he is ignorant or cramming at the last minute.

Instead, this is how the Grand Master trains the next generation: only practicing basic skills and memorizing the catalog of the library.

In this way, they can shorten the long period of time that [dark energy] temporarily gains the upper hand and [Positive Qi] rises to achieve balance, a period that is long for short-lived humans.

By using the catalog of the library in his memory, he found the corresponding books to deal with demons and evil forces, thus achieving balance.

After the demons and evil forces were sealed away.

However, the Grand Mage, who represents "Positive Qi," did not actually become stronger.

It will not cause the [dark energy] to return.

This is the true wisdom that the Grand Mage lineage inherited from Saint Liu Bei.

This is why, even though the [Positive Qi] magic is not lacking in methods to create magical artifacts, permanently modify oneself, or even directly become an immortal, my Old Man still only uses dried pufferfish as a magical artifact and only temporarily prepares potions.

The Grand Master lineage's self-discipline and wisdom in maintaining balance are evident in every aspect of daily life.

The Wizard is a demon whose weaknesses have been overcome and for which there are ways to deal with him.

His unwavering fundamental skills, coupled with the book he knew where even with his eyes closed—the book that recorded how the Wizard dealt with such situations—were enough to turn the Wizard into a statue once more.

But Jackie Chan is different.

Jackie Chan believes that the Wizard should be dealt with first.

"Old Man —Awoo~"

His words were cut short by a tap of his Old Man's finger.

"Old Man ~"

But when facing Xiaoyu, the Old Man couldn't bear it.

He turned his head, pursed his lips, and held out his hand. "Hot tea."

"Here, Old Man!" Xiaoyu quickly handed over some hot tea.

For Xiaoyu, who has mastered the power of the [Twelve Talismans], the process of grabbing tea leaves, boiling water, and brewing tea takes only a moment.

"There's one more thing," the Old Man said, taking the tea.

He looked at Basil, "When will you bring the [Rat Talisman]—"

"Now." Basil pointed to the table, where a stone talisman with rat-like patterns appeared.

Simultaneously, the screams of the Wizard echoed from the scene in mid-air.

And the splash of the petrified the Wizard falling into the sea.

Before he could finish speaking, the Old Man could only angrily take a sip of tea.

"There's one more thing, Jade—" Jackie Chan mimicked his Old Man's words, only to find himself caught in the crossfire.

"Jackie Chan!!!" The Old Man was furious.

"Old Man ~" Jackie Chan immediately backed down.

"Alright, your biggest worry is over," Basil said to Xiaoyu. "As long as no dark forces rise up, your Old Man will know you were right."

After Xiaoyu's matter was resolved, Basil's 'attention' did not leave the world of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Although he had already mastered the source of this world's extraordinary power.

The power of the Eight Great Demons and the Eight Immortals was also thoroughly understood.

However, treasures such as the [Chronicles of Time], [Pangu's Treasure Box], [Immortal God Armor], and [Aurora's Eye] are also worth pausing to admire for a moment.

Their power and form of expression are actually not outstanding.

But this is, after all, a supernatural structure based on [qi].

The people I met and learned about Basil were all very different.

At least for now, he can create a mythical fantasy world made of qi.

Now, even if you go to a traditional mythological world, you can perfectly disguise yourself as a local.

However, Basil's 'attention' was not limited to one world.

His attention is now more focused on that true [nothingness].

In traditional terms, it is Tai Yi.

Before the differentiation of Yin and Yang appeared, there was a vast and boundless primordial void.

There was no light, no form, no shape, and no name; it was the beginning of all phenomena, but energy had not yet appeared.

It is an even more ancient state than the primordial chaos, which was only the primordial Tai Chu, the Tai Shi which had form but no substance, the Tai Su which had form and substance but had not yet formed a body, and the Taiji which was before the creation of heaven and earth and before the separation of Yin and Yang.

In the world connected to the group members, the Marvel Universe, and the void outside the Boys Universe, his 'attention' is spreading outwards. His form is still in [nothingness], but he can manifest and exist at any time.

There is true [nothingness] which transforms into [something] that can exist in nothingness.

This is a way he learned from the "Gate of Time" and perfectly reproduced to expand his existence.

Having mastered multiple Cosmic Cluster, he acquired an Astronomy number of gems simply by existing.

He immediately used these gems to conceal himself and maxed out the skills he learned from the only external exploration component in the [System Component], the [Gate of Time].

Although the price of gemstones has dropped to just nine figures again.

But now that he has concealed himself, his ability to explore outwards is equivalent to that of the System Component themselves.

This is why he dared to expand his size directly, even directly into [nothingness], instead of using fictitious coordinates.

In a sense, the universes of all the current members of the organization, Marvel, and the Boys Universe, all exist within him.

And all of this happened in just the last month.

The fact that he could modify the guild members without consuming gems last time, relying on his own abilities, gave him a sliver of confidence.

This made him realize that he had grown to a level that could not be described by numbers or words.

This is also the true source of his confidence that he still has the leisure to play with Tama even when facing the [Plot Component], which has disintegrated from the [container], multiplied for countless epochs in the Movement Cosmic Cluster, and grown to the point of distorting the entire Cosmic Cluster.

Inside Madison's Wizard Space.

A one-to-one replica of the Hollywood-style unmanned movie theater.

"Sweetheart, I suddenly feel like you..." Madison frowned, "You no longer consider recycling [Plot Component] a matter of importance."

"How did you find out?" Basil asked.

"The smell." Madison wrinkled her nose slightly. "The world on the screen has become more weighty. Could it be that you..."

"That's the question." Basil nodded. "Susan and the others are now in the real four-wheel drive world, not the projected universe I created."

"But what is the real reason?"

He lowered his head.

The intense gaze made Madison, who was used to it, feel uncomfortable, so she conjured up a set of pajamas and covered herself up again.

She also had to answer the real reason, "Nine shallow and one deep, a habit you may not even be aware of yourself."

"Previously it became eight shallow and one deep."

"It's finally recovered now."

Madison blushed.

In private, she is much more innocent than she appears.

"Alright. So what exactly changed your mind?"

She quickly changed the subject.

"My avatar already exists within it," Basil said. "When to reclaim it is entirely up to me."

"An incarnation? Who?"

"That's Li Lin," Katy said. "The one under that mask is Li Lin."

One month ago.

Okada Tesshin introduced them to the racer who was actually the [Super Vanguard].

Katy felt a sense of familiarity.

Today, while discussing tactics for the Da Shen Cup, she suddenly thought of Li Lin.

"You're obsessed with men," Susan said. "I understand how you feel, and I miss Li Lin too, but—"

"This is not an illusion," Katy interrupted.

"I think Katy has been playing R for too long," Magneto offered his opinion.

It's normal to develop mental problems if you play a person with a personality that is very different from your own for a long time.

"I don't have any." Ron didn't actually believe Katy's statement either; he only said it to show off.

(Ginny immediately saw through Ron's intentions.)

(But now she only cared whether the racer that the [Super Vanguard] had transformed into was really Li Lin. She looked at Harry she now considered almost omnipotent and omniscient.)

"I don't know," Harry shrugged. "I can't see the face behind the mask."

"You?" Magneto didn't even bother to say a word to Ron.

During this month, Ron's so-called performance was nothing more than maintaining his Transformation Technique, calling Katy" sister," and referring to himself as Aji.

"This is what Master Tie Xin said!" Aji Ron emphasized. "I specifically looked into Gō, and he loves food just like me."

("Just as reckless," Ginny scoffed, having gotten no answer from Harry. "But there's one difference—the height.")

(His older brother, while not as tall as the Novel Harry, wasn't short either.)

(And Hoshikage Gō is noticeably shorter, almost 2 inches shorter than Hoshikage Kō is the same age.)

"Our problem now is whether that guy is actually Li Lin," Magneto said.

"No." Ron said without hesitation, "Even if it is, it's not the Li Lin we know."

"There is Li Lin in the Starry World, but he is completely different from Homelander Li Lin, who has both parents and is an orphan."

("Ron's in big trouble," Madison said.)

("How could that be?" Basil narrowed his eyes. "I'm not an orphan in the true sense of the word.")

"Hey!"

What are you saying!

Susan and Katy put aside their differences and united against the common enemy.

"I was wrong, sister." Aji -faced Ron quickly hid behind Magneto.

Facing their gazes, Magneto coughed and said, "Actually, Ron was right about one thing: that person is not the Li Lin we know."

"What we need to focus on is the Da Shen Cup."
