Dueling

The bluish-black flames spread out in the small Living Room, like a flood, yet without any warmth.

As these illusory flames completely filled the Living Room, they condensed again, forming a human figure made of black flames in front of the Corporate Slave Man.

Within the flames, one could vaguely make out a slender, skeletal Main Body; but to look directly into it would cause a stinging pain to the eyes.

However, Feng Xue only made a sarcastic remark about this extravagant contraption before sprinkling salt on it.

Under Feng Xue's exquisite force, the fine salt grains formed a Crescent Moon -shaped Sword Arc. This strike used the technique of the Mindless Divine Power. Before the Corporate Slave Man could even react, a large amount of salt, "sanctified" by the combination of [Item Master] + [Make the Best Use of Everything] + [Heart Over Matter], was already in front of him.

However, this ghost with a name and a prestigious aura was indeed more powerful than those ghosts tearing each other apart in front of the memorial tablets. Even before its owner could react, it moved first.

Seemingly understanding the destructive power of the salt, it didn't try to block it. Instead, it swung its arm and pushed the Corporate Slave Man away. Its body also seemed to be pulled by something in mid-air, shifting several steps to avoid the Salt Knife.

"They're incredibly intelligent!" Feng Xue toyed with her pen, while simultaneously speculating about the combat mechanics of this world, or rather, this game.

Although he complained that the appearance of spirits was like Bankai, in essence, is a kind of communication of the culture of Word Spirit.

Legends of "the Word Spirit" exist all over the world. It is said that language possesses magical power, that bestowing a name upon someone is equivalent to sharing that power, and that possessing their true name is equivalent to possessing everything about them.

In the West, there are stories of enslaving demons by using tools engraved with their Demon True Name; in Ancient Egypt, there is even a legend of Isis obtaining Ra's true name by blackmailing him, thereby stealing Ra's power and helping her son Horus ascend to the throne; the Word Spirit is reflected in all aspects of life in the East; even in the pragmatic Yan Kingdom, there are Magic Treasure for capturing people by calling their names and responding to them.

Feng Xue's mind raced. She casually sprinkled out the remaining salt and turned her gaze to the Corporate Slave Man.

Although he was pushed away by his own ghost, a charred handprint appeared where they had touched. Upon noticing this detail, Feng Xue's heart immediately stirred—

"From this perspective of initiative, the role of Word Spirit should only be to unleash power, not to exert strong control; otherwise, it wouldn't have such a strong degree of autonomy."

Thinking of this, his gaze focused on the Corporate Slave Man was in pain but still quickly adjusted his position, or more precisely, on the charred bracelet in his hand.

The bracelet had no heat, yet it felt as if it were constantly scorching the man. In less than two breaths, a scorch mark had already appeared on his hand that was holding the bracelet.

"Kill him!" the Corporate Slave Man shouted hoarsely. The Ghostly Shadow enveloped in bluish-black flames revealed a cruel, almost human-like smile. The flames around its body expanded another threefold, as if it had activated a powerful Fierce Fire ability, and it reached out to grab Feng Xue.

"Oh, then I'll try too." Feng Xue twirled her expensive fountain pen in her hand and said casually:

"Write on, my Wonderful Brush Beneficial Calculation Star Lord!"

Although she called out a name in a seemingly serious manner, the spirit of the pen showed no sign of being restrained. During the brief silence, Feng Xue secretly tapped the pen with her fingertip, and the spirit of the pen floated out of the pen with a helpless expression.

Although it didn't have the grand spectacle of the previous Fire Ghost, its mere appearance already put it far ahead of its opponent.

"Just stop it."

Feng Xue waved the pen in her hand, and the spirit of the pen sighed, extending her right index finger and quickly drawing it through the air.

The flowing light from their fingertips converged at one point, transforming into a large, artistically designed character.

"Die!"

The spirit girl, who only knows how to write the word "death," unleashed a basic attack with the gesture of Ultimate Move. The startled Fire Ghost dodged Basic Attack, but after realizing that the attack wasn't as overwhelming as it had imagined, it immediately pounced on the spirit girl, seemingly intending to ignite her with its own fire.

Feng Xue wasn't worried about the Ouija board causing any problems. First of all, she was now a Temporary Worker of the Star Lord. As a derivative of the Phantom Object, even if she really died, turned to ashes, and her soul scattered, Feng Xue could just play with the Ouija board on a piece of paper and it would immediately fly out again.

More than watching the battle between the two ghosts, Feng Xue was concerned about the office worker. Even now, his Mirror of Clarity was still unable to hear Dim Sum from the other party. This ability to nullify power brought him far more unease than facing the Miss Ke Family.

Because this is unknown.

However, given Feng Xue's physical abilities, this almost Guaranteed Hit strike missed its mark. The office worker in front of him vanished like a mirage under his grasp, turning into dust.

"Did you notice? But it's too late. You've already fallen under the curse of Shiranui's Fuzhibi! However, your spirit beast is quite good, so I'll gladly accept it!"

The Corporate Slave Man let out a wild laugh, a stark contrast to his previous timid demeanor. Feng Xue narrowed her eyes, feeling as if she had eaten a rather ominous mushroom, and everything around her began to feel unreal.

This is not just a distortion of perception. Or rather, if it were about perception, not to mention Feng Xue's [Martial] power of the Sixth Sense, even the Kamen Rider's built-in Targeting system would not be affected.

So...

"Power!"

Feng Xue made a judgment in her mind: only Quan Neng could make her make such a big mistake when facing an "ordinary person".

"That oni named Fuzhibi doesn't have the Supernatural Tale Fire on it, nor does it bear any Tag or elements. Either it's just an illusion, or it's merely Supernatural Tale Derivative, and the real power comes from something else."

Feng Xue made a judgment in his mind, but he was not flustered at all, because he could already feel the force of the knife hitting his neck.

Well, they didn't even manage to Open Mouth, Close Eyes of a single Bamboo Armor.

"Slap!" Feng Xue swung her hand at the angle of the attack, but missed. She immediately heard the dry laugh that the Corporate Slave Man to cover up his lack of defense.

"Stop laughing! Shouldn't you explain your abilities at a time like this?" Feng Xue tore open another packet of salt and threw it out, but the other party clearly didn't have the spirit of a hot-blooded manga character, and just kept attacking Feng Xue.

"Tsk, I was hoping to get some information out of you, but since you're unwilling to say, then forget it."

Feng Xue sighed, but the Corporate Slave Man scoffed:

"You talk like you're invincible. I Think you used all your Curse Power to protect yourself. What a waste of such a powerful demon! Uh, where did that fog come from?"

Some things are just memes. It's fine to use memes, but there's really no need to believe them. Today I got a call from a friend asking me which Wheelchair is the most comfortable. I was completely confused. Then I found out they'd seen that joke online that electric Wheelchair are more comfortable than Gaming Chair...

I was speechless. First of all, let me state my conclusion: I've been using Wheelchair for over ten years, and I've tried all sorts of brands. Those things are really not suitable for sitting for long periods of time. Sitting for too long will cause back pain. Secondly, the height of the Wheelchair is not adjustable, so if you're tall, your legs will feel uncomfortable. Also, the armrests on both sides are relatively low, making them unsuitable for working on a computer.

Let's put it this way: an 800-yuan Gaming Chair is more comfortable than a 3,000-yuan Wheelchair. Let's keep our jokes within limits!

As a result, I saw someone online saying that Wheelchair are comfortable, and a bunch of people who love to make fun of others started saying yes, yes, yes, it's ridiculous. Of course, if you choose an electric Wheelchair instead of Electric Bike to get to work, it is indeed more comfortable, but the speed is relatively slow. Although most electric Wheelchair are labeled as having a speed of 20km/h, the actual speed measured outdoors is only about 10km/h.
