I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

The Blue Knight was standing beside her, and behind her was a person wrapped up like a dumpling—the Earl.

Hilde recognized the old man, the count wrapped up like a dumpling, and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

The Blue Knight didn't care about any of that. The Earl's extraordinary abilities weren't particularly strong to begin with, so he just needed to stay obediently behind her for now.

Klaus was getting anxious because as soon as he took out the potion, the guards pretended not to see it and completely ignored him.

It seemed the Guardian was about to give up. Klaus was frantic and just wanted to pry open the Guardian's mouth and force the potion in.

But now is not the time. The aura of flesh and blood outside the Tower of Learning is rising steadily, whereas before it was just a minor skirmish.

Klaus didn't care about anything else. He strode to the outside of the Tower of Learning, took out the bronze signal flare from his pocket, loaded it into his gun, and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

The next moment, a blinding golden light burst out of the signal flare, piercing the gray sky and shooting straight above the clouds.

Klaus couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. He originally wanted to take Lu Yuan with him, but Lu Yuan's aura seemed to be entangled with the person on the wall, and he was also emanating some kind of strange power. Coupled with the ever-expanding rift in the sea of ​​knowledge, Klaus already understood what Lu Yuan had done.

Although he didn't know how Lu Yuan had done it, now was not the time to be sentimental. If Lu Yuan's time was running out, going up would only be a burden to him and waste the little escape route he had saved.

As the golden light exploded above the clouds, a few breaths later, the sound of gears turning came from the sky, along with white trails left by steam emissions.

The Sky Fortress has reappeared.

The Sky Fortress emerged from the clouds, and two huge metal components unfolded on either side of the cabin suspended below the gasbag. They were covered with inscriptions, and the span of the unfolded structure was twice as wide as the airship itself.

The muzzles of the cannons protruded from the edge of the structure, and all eight cannons were aimed at the pieces of flesh that were trying to rush up below.

The next moment, artillery fire poured down, wave after wave of inscribed shells fell into the sea of ​​blood, exploding into a sky full of scarlet fragments, tearing flesh and blood apart, and sending up plumes of dark red smoke from where the shells landed.

Taking advantage of the situation, the air-seeking fortress descended, its airbags began to inflate, and its altitude continued to decrease.

The Sea of ​​Knowledge seemed to be intentionally cooperating with the Sky-Seeking Fortress. The previously scattered, indiscriminate spears of text were now consciously gathering around the Tower of Learning, including the area near the Sky-Seeking Fortress.

The enormous spears formed from those words became increasingly solid, and the attacks that could only penetrate and corrode flesh like pollution underwent a significant change.

The moment the spear hit the ground, it was as if some kind of explosion had occurred, tearing up large chunks of flesh and blood, which then turned into specks of gray debris.

However, the flesh and blood seemed to have gone completely mad. New flesh and blood surged up to fill the gaps where it was torn apart, and the surrounding flesh and blood walls continued to rise.

If it weren't for the sudden onslaught from the Sea of ​​Knowledge, the airship probably wouldn't have been able to get in at all by now.

Even though the Sea of ​​Knowledge was relieving the pressure on the Tower of Learning, when the Sky-Seeking Fortress descended for the first time, just as the airship landed a hundred meters above the top of the tower, a huge fleshy tentacle broke through the encirclement from the side and stabbed towards the Sky-Seeking Fortress, almost tearing a piece off the airbag.

Fortunately, the inscription on the airbag came in very handy, managing to block the tentacles.

Logan had no choice but to urgently raise the Sky Fortress.

Before he could even try a second time, the tentacles multiplied, determined not to let the Sky-Seeking Fortress descend.

The airship's firepower was no longer sufficient to stop the carnage, forcing it to take off again.

Just then, Lu Yuan, whose consciousness was still in the sea of ​​knowledge, became somewhat angry.

Originally, Lu Yuan's control over the Sea of ​​Knowledge was somewhat lacking.

Although he had completely taken control of this rift, the vast amount of text still seemed somewhat disobedient, and his ability to do anything about it remained extremely limited. The fluctuations in his rationality were having a rather serious impact on him.

Lu Yuan had intended to adapt gradually, but it seems he doesn't have that much time left.

The next moment, the cracks in the sea of ​​knowledge suddenly expanded to their maximum.

The colorful characters swept across the area around the Tower of Learning, forming walls of shimmering text that effectively trapped the incoming carcasses from all sides.

At the same time, the person on the wall took the initiative to make a move again.

The nearly shattered head extended its last bit of power from the domain and merged with Lu Yuan's sea of ​​knowledge.

Large amounts of gray fog spilled out from the Tower of Learning, and the gray fog that was about to dissipate suddenly solidified.

The walls formed of blood, flesh, and words tore apart and cleared away the surrounding flesh and blood around the Tower of Learning, creating a passage that appeared out of thin air.

Logan on the Sky Fortress immediately sensed this glimmer of hope and unleashed his last remaining firepower, allowing the airship to plummet downwards.

Klaus had already moved the moment the passage opened.

"Hurry up!"

The ropes of the air-seeking fortress hung down from the hatch, swaying in the wind.

The Blue Knight carried the Earl on his back, grabbed the rope with one hand, and the silk thread sprang from his wrist, entangled the knot, and in a few leaps he climbed up the tens of meters high Sky Fortress.

Klaus followed closely behind, climbing upwards, while the Guardian's enormous eyeball hovered beside him. Hilde, carrying the bronze book in her arms, climbed step by step using her own strength, her pace slowing considerably.

After Klaus settled the guards down, he saw Hilde still climbing below. He flipped over and jumped down, grabbed Hilde, and pulled her up.

Green, who was controlling the Sky Fortress, suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from it.

He turned around and saw a huge eyeball with a melting head hanging on it. His face turned pale instantly, and he subconsciously took two steps back, almost bumping into the tube wall.

Logan also sensed something. Looking at the enormous eyeball in front of him and the only remaining head above it, he subconsciously asked a question.

"Guardians?"

Klaus had already climbed onto the hatch. He glanced back at the top of the tower, where Lu Yuan was still standing.

At this moment, Lu Yuan, who was at the top of the Tower of Learning, came into Klaus's view.

Lu Yuan was enveloped by layers of text surging from the sea of ​​knowledge, suspended in a room at the top of the Tower of Learning, with colorful texts swirling around him.

From a distance, it seemed as if the person had melted into the flowing colors, making it impossible to distinguish between the person, the words, and the forbidden presence.

Lu Yuan had previously said not to worry about him.

Klaus looked in that direction, gritted his teeth, and finally nodded, signaling to Logan that they could take off.

"Take off!" Logan's voice came from the control room again. The Sky Fortress began to rise the next moment.

However, flesh and blood, and that crown of flesh and blood, seemed unwilling to let the Fortress of Seeking Emptiness leave.

The eyeballs on the crown all turned around, and the next moment, six corrupted beams of light shot towards the airship, while the fleshy tentacles below rose from the ground and pounced towards the Sky-Seeking Fortress.

Lu Yuan stirred within the Sea of ​​Knowledge. The next moment, a massive amount of text condensed into a pillar of light, crashing down from the sky and crushing the light and fleshy tentacles emanating from the illusory Crown of Kings.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan separated a wisp of his consciousness, and the rift in the Sea of ​​Knowledge suddenly expanded, with an absurdly powerful force surging out from the Sea of ​​Knowledge and landing on the Seeking Void Fortress.

The next moment, the Sky Fortress suddenly accelerated.

But this kind of acceleration is not what Logan wants at all; the Sky Fortress's own power cannot achieve this speed.

It was propelled out by the power of the Sea of ​​Knowledge controlled by Lu Yuan, flying towards the outside of the city like a ball, so fast that even the people in the cabin could not stand steadily.

Logan gripped the control stick tightly, his face deathly pale. This height was no joke; unless one was a special fourth-order expert, falling from this height would be certain death.

The inscriptions on the airbags emitted a piercing shriek at high speed; several inscriptions had shattered, and a corner of the airbag began to deflate visibly. The airship's airbags were clearly damaged, yet they still managed to fly out alive.

Lu Yuan hovered in the center of the rift in the Sea of ​​Knowledge, watching the figure of the Seeking Void Fortress grow smaller and smaller until it gradually disappeared beyond the walls of flesh and blood.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Now, everyone who was supposed to leave had left.

But then, Lu Yuan looked down at the flesh and blood beneath the Tower of Learning.

The Crown of Kings hung before the rift in the Sea of ​​Knowledge, its six murky, completely polluted eyes fixed on him.

The flesh and blood on the illusory Crown of Kings continued to expand, and the flesh and blood of the entire inner city were converging towards the Crown of Kings. The starry flesh and blood from the depths of the earth, bearing intricate inscriptions, were also surging upwards.

Lu Yuan's expression darkened. Grayish-white characters kept appearing before his eyes, and the forbidden aura was gradually rising. For the moment, he really didn't have a particularly good way to deal with this thing.

But it's only temporary. During this period, Lu Yuan just needs to hold on.

At this moment, Lu Yuanshen was suspended in the center of the rift in the Sea of ​​Knowledge, his body constantly being pulled by the power of the Sea of ​​Knowledge, with countless words swirling around him. His sanity was still crumbling.

【理智 -1...+1...-1...+1... 101/140】

Reason was being consumed by the takeover of this sea, but it was also being replenished.

The worms of knowledge were gnawing on flesh and blood in the outer city, and it seemed that they had already eaten some core. The rationality that was constantly fed back to Lu Yuan was barely enough to keep him from being exhausted to the point of collapse.

While one trend rose and the other fell, the other trends were also moving upwards.

[Rationality IV +1...+1... 38/140]

[Current Status of Bronze City +1... 46.2/51]

[Forbidden Studies - Seeker of Knowledge +1...+1... 95.6/100]

The experience of taboo studies is constantly improving, and although it is still a few points away from the next hurdle, it is almost there.

Right now, I can't do anything to the flesh and blood in front of me, nor can I control the rift in the sea of ​​knowledge, but what if I reach the third level?

Wait a little longer... delay a bit more...
