Phantylia: Something's Wrong with the Fruit! Lin Shuang, You Tricked Me! / Jing Yuan: Does Acheron Like Lin Shuang a Little Too Much?
Phantylia plunged into the seabed, abandoning his physical body, and in the form of Heliobus, he burrowed into the crack of the seal.
Seeing that Lin Shuang didn't chase after her, she chuckled to herself.
Innocent.
Even if Jing Yuan were down there, he couldn't stop her.
So what if that Fruits is swallowed by a person? I'll just go up there and eat that person myself.
For Heliobus, does it make a big difference whether this Fruits is a fruit or a person?
He then used the Jianmu Fruit to complete the shaping of his physical body.
It is backed by the Jianmu, which provides an inexhaustible source of power.
What good would it do for you, Lin Shuang, to bring Jing Yuan along?
We could wear you both down here.
Not to mention...
According to her calculations, even after she went down there, the fruit would still need some time to fully ripen.
Whether the person below will be able to grab it then is another matter.
At the same time.
Above the Ancient Sea.
Lin Shuang descended from the sky, just in time to see Acheron raise his scabbard and, with a clang, slap it onto the forehead of the Sushang.
Then the warrior of the Sushang, who seemed to be vaguely waking up, immediately fell asleep.
Silence fell again.
"The person is awake?"
"Yeah, I was woken up by your fight with Phantylia. He even tried to commit suicide, but I stopped him."
Acheron nodded, no longer paying attention to the creature at his feet.
"You really wanted to commit suicide. Luckily you stopped me, otherwise I might have come to Scalegorge Waterscape and caused a lot of trouble."
Lin Shuang glanced down at the Sushang warrior who had fainted again.
This guy is just there to take the blame.
Otherwise, if someone from the Sushang were to turn the tables and accuse her, Lin Shuang wouldn't have any suitable evidence to present.
I was just thinking about it.
Acheron raised his hand and ruffled Lin Shuang's hair.
"The play was a bit rough."
In Acheron's eyes, Lin Shuang was a typical example of someone who could throw bricks with great strength.
The moves are straightforward, lacking any skill or subtlety.
The main selling point is brute force.
Although I studied under him for a while, I can only say that I am qualified as a soldier.
As for Swordsman, there's still a lot of room for improvement.
That Phantylia was clearly not a fighter either.
If Acheron and Lin Shuang were to switch places and use equal power...
Acheron was confident that he could suppress Phantylia.
"... At least give me a compliment first."
Lin Shuang pouted, which made Acheron laugh.
However, Acheron's smile quickly faded, and he then gestured towards the area behind Lin Shuang.
"Someone's here."
"Who?"
Lin Shuang turned her head and looked towards the entrance of the Scalegorge Waterscape, which was some distance away.
She vaguely saw Jing Yuan's figure approaching.
"Yo ho... those three didn't come, but Jing Yuan Yuanyuan arrived first."
Lin Shuang stroked her chin with great interest.
She thought this part of the story would proceed as originally planned.
It's the scene where Dan Heng is blocked by a blade, and then Yanqing comes to fight.
I didn't expect to miss those few people.
Jing Yuan, however, had already arrived at Scalegorge Waterscape ahead of everyone else.
So where exactly were Dan Heng cornered by Ren and Kafka?
Lin Shuang was now curious about what Dan Heng was doing.
However, before that...
Lin Shuang looked at Jing Yuan, who had quickly approached.
Faced with the rebirth of Jianmu, Jing Yuan, though serious in expression, still maintained a calm smile.
"Young Friend Lin, what about that Phantylia..."
"Phantylia has already gone down; he should have run into Danshu by now."
As she spoke, Lin Shuang looked at Jing Yuan.
She suddenly began to wonder if Jing Yuan had secretly guided Danshu's final state of mind during this period.
"Danshu... sigh."
Upon hearing Danshu's name, Jing Yuan sighed softly.
Then he looked down at the Sushang at his feet and asked:
"So this person is the thief who secretly sent the Stellaron into the seal?"
"It's uncertain whether he sent it down, but he definitely played a part in activating the Stellaron. As for the Token, it's in Danshu's hands."
At the same time.
Under the seal--
Phantylia successfully broke through the seal and arrived at the root system of the Jianmu.
The moment she appeared, she was seen floating above the root system.
Danshu held a golden Fruits in his hand.
It seemed as if she had just picked the Fruits and hadn't even had a chance to eat it yet.
Phantylia subconsciously felt that the Fruits seemed to have ripened a few minutes earlier than she had expected.
But since she had never actually witnessed what the Jianmu would look like, she simply kept her doubts to herself.
On the surface, he sneered:
"Ha—it really is you, Danshu! You traitor who only knows how to betray, do you really think you have a chance to live? Even if you offer this Fruits to Jing Yuan, you will still die!"
Danshu looked at Phantylia, who existed in the form of flames, and laughed:
"Of course I know that, but I don't care."
As she spoke, Danshu took a bite of the Fruits, while Phantylia seemed not to have seen it at all, and continued to leisurely approach.
It seemed they weren't worried at all about the Jianmu Fruit being eaten.
The extremely concentrated Power of Abundance burst forth rapidly within Danshu's abdomen as the Jianmu Fruit was consumed.
The power, the overwhelming and almost out-of-control Power of Abundance, nearly extinguished Danshu's reason.
"Ugh... Ahhhhhh--!!!"
An overwhelming force rampaged through Danshu's body, instantly tearing his physical form apart before it was repaired by the Power of Abundance.
Amidst this constant destruction and reorganization, the body begins to multiply and grow larger in a bizarre manner.
Even its back began to sprout golden branches.
"Hehehe--Do you think I'm not worried at all about you eating it?"
Phantylia laughed loudly as he approached Danshu, as if admiring some masterpiece.
"Hmm..."
At that moment, a branch pierced Danshu's throat, rendering her speechless. She could only stare wide-eyed at Phantylia.
"Fine... don't waste too much of your power. Be a good boy and become bait for my body!"
Phantylia lost interest in Danshu, and then the flames transformed into a gigantic maw of the abyss, swallowing Danshu's body whole.
The flames engulfed Danshu's body, and then, taking advantage of the power of the Jianmu Fruit, used Danshu's flesh as bait to reshape his own.
The golden lotus gradually bloomed in the flames, and then slowly closed up, transforming into a Flower Bud.
A new body is being conceived, but Phantylia's doubts are growing deeper.
"Something's not right... something's not right... the first Fruits of the Jianmu shouldn't be so weak."
A new body is being conceived, and frankly, it will be more powerful than the physical bodies of most races in this universe.
However, this power was far from achieving the result that Phantylia had originally calculated.
In her calculations, a physical body that combines the power of Destruction and Power of Abundance should surpass ordinary Emanator.
But now, let alone surpassing it.
The power of this physical body even made Phantylia feel empty.
There's a sense of unease, like something that should have been perfect has been unexpectedly cut short.
Even the once stable connection with Jianmu has become somewhat strained.

Chapter 259 Jing Yuan: Does Acheron like Lin Shuang too much?
Just then, Danshu's Remembrance flooded into Phantylia's consciousness.
Phantylia then shocked to realize that Danshu had already picked the unripe Fruits long before he entered.
This resulted in the power of the Jianmu Fruit being less than half of what was expected!
"Damn Danshu!!! And Lin Shuang!! You both have to die!"
Phantylia roared angrily from within the Flower Bud.
I almost fainted from anger.
Danshu is indeed seriously ill.
Doesn't she have a grudge against Xianzhou?
Just because Lin Shuang said a few kind words to you, you're acting like this??
Phantylia thought that Danshu was only controlled by Jing Yuan, so she excluded her from many subsequent events.
But to her surprise, Danshu actually joined forces with Lin Shuang.
And they practically offered themselves up to them.
To be fair, Lin Shuang is clearly on Jing Yuan's side.
