I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

After Carter left, Eltin turned to Ivan and asked with a slight smile.

"I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to cooperate and join forces so soon."

Evan chuckled and countered, "Should I express my gratitude and honor with tears streaming down my face, or should I just kneel down and propose to you?"

Hearing Ivan's words, Eldin blinked: "Uh..."

Both options were too extreme, leaving Erdin, who had little experience in relationships and was good at talking nonsense, momentarily stunned and unsure how to answer.

The wicked queen's aura suddenly turned into something rather silly and cute.

Ivan chuckled smugly to himself, "Little brat, trying to seduce your Eighth Master Ivan?!"

Although what Erdin just said wasn't offensive at all.

But Evan could already tell what she was going to say from the sly smile on her face.

Therefore, Ivan chose to strike first!

This can also be called: a defensive first move!

Looking at Evan's still sunny and smiling face, Erdin gritted his teeth inwardly and thought to himself.

"That brat really has no scruples, daring to say such insolent things to a lady!"

"How stupid of me! I actually had the nerve to compete with these low-level thugs who hustle in the streets!"

"Calm down, Erdin! You shouldn't argue with someone from the lower class who hasn't received a systematic aristocratic education."

"You only need to use your own radiance to influence him, making him completely submit to your noble aura!"

Having thought of this, Erdin immediately changed the subject, her ruby-like eyes looking towards the dim future.

He spoke in that dignified and elegant British accent.

"According to my intelligence, this slave caravan is transporting a total of 100 slaves."

"There were 15 people in charge of escorting them, including 10 ordinary people and 5 superhumans."

"Among the extraordinary beings, there is an expert-level cultivator, an expert-level snake-man, and an expert-level tree spirit."

"The remaining two are apprentice-level demons and apprentice-level witches."

"The person in charge this time is that expert-level monk. He works with the snake people to ensure that these 100 people have no ability to resist."

After listening, Ivan nodded: "The monks are responsible for controlling desires, and the snake people are responsible for preparing the toxins."

"The last tree spirit used his seeds as a final trump card for coercion."

Eldin nodded: "Mr. Valiant Arkham, what plans do you have here?"

Evan grinned, then reached into his lower back and pulled out a bottle of potion about the size of a thumb.

"Since it's a rare opportunity for my physical body to enter the Dream Realm, I should naturally start by getting a potion to celebrate!"

When I had an in-depth conversation with my senior sister before, it was all inside the Twilight Rose Sanatorium.

Ivan, fearing it would cause unnecessary trouble, didn't use it.

After all, there are too many people and too many eyes there.

Then Eldin finally saw that Ivan's strong tongue easily curled around the cork and pulled it off.

Then he poured the potion into his mouth with great relish.

Seeing this scene, Erdin felt his worldview was shaken.

She had seen many potions and many people taking them; this was not a strange sight.

However, Ivan's behavior of drinking potions like tea or alcohol still challenges the worldview of Eldin.

After all, everyone who had taken the potion before looked resistant and resentful.

Each time you take it, you need to take deep breaths and make the necessary mental and physical preparations.

But now...

Evan didn't seem to be drinking a potion at all; he looked more like a nobleman celebrating a partial victory, bringing out his treasured wines!

"He's definitely not right in the head! He must have gone mad from drinking that potion!" Eltin muttered to himself.

After Ivan on the other side drank the potion in one gulp, a notification immediately appeared on the panel.

[You have consumed a fusion potion; its effects will last for 1 hour.]

[Effect: Reduces the incompatibility between extraordinary traits.]

[Did you reverse the side effects?]

[Twist!]

[Progress: 10 hours.]

"A 10-hour reversal period means 20 hours for the average person!"

"This means that the side effects of this fusion potion are on par with those of a mid-level potion!"

"As expected, the stranger the effect, the stronger the potion's toxicity."

After reading the panel prompts, Evan immediately felt a special instinct arise within his body.

This instinct amplified his control over his extraordinary abilities.

To be precise, it wasn't that his control was amplified, but rather that his resistance to those extraordinary characteristics was reduced.

If we compare these three extraordinary qualities to three blocks of iron that cannot be fused together.

Now, these three iron blocks have changed from their previous indestructible state to a semi-melted state.

Evan's willpower can control this semi-dissolved state, allowing them to temporarily fuse together.

"This potion is incredibly effective!"

Ivan's eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration.

"That old bastard Byron is really something!"

With that thought in mind, Evan immediately controlled the fusion of the Copper Plague and Cain's Thirst Blood.

With the initial contact of these two characteristics, the two extraordinary powers began to complement each other in an instant.

The extraordinary vitality of the Bloodthirsty Seed endowed all the viruses within the Copper Plague's plague clusters with unparalleled vitality and regenerative ability.

The speed at which these viruses become effective and reproduce is increased by dozens of times.

And they become extremely difficult to kill.

The copper epidemic, on the other hand, causes a large number of viruses to fuse with the blood of this thirsty blood species.

This filled Ivan's blood with a massive amount of terrifying plague and virus.

If an enemy comes into contact with this virus-laden blood during battle, they will be quickly parasitized and infected!

The entire integration process went quite smoothly.

It's not that Ivan suddenly had an epiphany; the real core is that he is supported by the Black Sun Wings.

Under normal circumstances, the soul can only fuse with these extraordinary characteristics by using those formless, invisible, water-like hands to slowly and subtly impact and integrate them.

But Evan was different; his mind could control the Black Sun Wings' tangible claws and wings.

He grabbed the two extraordinary abilities and squeezed them together!

This forcibly accelerated the originally slow fusion process!

"As expected of the eldest brother among these extraordinary characteristics within my body!"

"He certainly possesses the skill and influence of a senior figure!"

As Evan finished drinking the medicine and felt the fusion of his extraordinary properties, Erdin was also looking at Evan's profile.

Elting didn't know what kind of drug this guy had taken; she could only tell from his expression that Ivan's face showed an indescribable intoxication and joy after taking the drug.

It seemed that the potion did not cause him any pain; on the contrary, it gave him a sense of great happiness and satisfaction!

It's as if you've entered a dream world where you get everything you want.

"Damn it! Could this guy be addicted to potions for some reason!?"

"He's mentally unstable; even in front of bigwigs like Carter and Morgan, he makes all sorts of rude gestures!"

"This guy... his brain has probably been controlled by a magic potion!"

"Otherwise, why would a normal person make that face after drinking a potion!?"

Realizing this, Erdin immediately felt a pang of regret: "Oh no!"

"If that's the case, when our child is born in the future..."

"Could the child inherit his addiction to magic potions?!"

At that moment, Ertin suddenly thought of the distant future, lying weakly in bed looking at her newborn child.

The child inherited his perfect genes, was exquisitely beautiful, and exuded innate nobility and charm.

But when she gently coaxed the baby to breastfeed, the little one pushed her chest away.

Then she turned her head, her chubby little hands tightly clutching the potion bottle Ivan handed her, and gulped it down...

By the bedside, Ivan still wore a bright, goofy smile: "He's truly my child, so wonderful!"

"Oh my god!!!"

"What kind of hell is that!?"

Upon realizing this, Erdin immediately covered his head with both hands.

She felt her mind had been greatly polluted, and a look of frantic collapse appeared on her sinister face.

After experiencing the technique of characteristic fusion, Evan turned to look at Eltin.

At this moment, Erdin had a strange expression, covering his head with both hands, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

This instantly put Ivan on guard. After activating his Demon Hunter form, Ivan gripped his cane tightly and asked with extreme caution.

"What are you seeing? A lord? A demigod? Or some other indescribable monster!?"

Alden, regaining her senses, noticed Ivan's wariness and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. She turned her head and said...

"It's nothing, I just thought of some scary possibilities."

Ivan said "oh," and finally brought up the topic of tactics.

"I can easily handle that tree spirit, the cultivator is the more troublesome one!"

"I'm in great spirits right now, and I'm tired of the cold sensation of drinking the Ironblood Potion."

"So you go and deal with that cultivator, and I'll handle the snake man and the tree spirit, how about that?"

Erdin nodded: "No problem."

"But you have to be careful. After all, this place is not far from the port. There may be other patrolling Cold Plains people, or moon beasts hiding in the shadows."

"Don't make too much of a commotion, and don't pay any attention to the slaves."

"After our initial success, our primary objective is the hidden underground palace behind their camp."

Ivan nodded: "You seem to know a lot about their situation?"

Eldin nodded: "These guys have worked with the Sap Group before!"

Her face was filled with disgust as she spoke: "This nouveau riche who blasphemes the Master of the Moon doesn't deserve to be at the table!"

Upon hearing this, Ivan recalled Garp's previous hatred for the Sap Group and thought to himself.

"It seems that faith is just a facade; the core issue is the conflict of interest between these old-money people and these unscrupulous new-money businessmen."

Whether it was helping the ghoul Leto last time or cracking down on slave owners this time.

Their core motivation stems from the hatred that Erdin and his group harbor towards the Sap Group and related factions.

The two moved forward quickly and silently while they were talking.

They had only taken a couple of steps when Erdin stopped Ivan: "Watch out, there's a trap ahead."

At this moment, Evan, who was still in the process of merging his sensory characteristics, came back to his senses, looked around, and asked expectantly.

"Pies? Where are the pies?"

Erdin turned to look at Evan, his eye twitching and his forehead covered in black lines, and he questioned him through gritted teeth.

"What are you thinking about? How can you be distracted during such a crucial operation?!"

Erdin knew about Evan's physical abilities.

The hearing ability resulting from this level of physical fitness is absolutely impeccable.

Ivan coughed: "I'm just a little hungry."

"You...cough cough...are you hungry?"

Ertin's face was filled with a look of utter disbelief, and she nearly swore, ruining her ladylike image.

She was sitting right next to Evan and could see clearly how much he ate at noon.

The image of those fourteen plates stacked up was still vivid in her mind.

Ivan quickly changed the subject, looking ahead: "Where's the trap?"

Ertin pointed her pale finger at the tree: "Do you see that bird on the branch?"

Ivan looked up, focusing all his attention, and finally spotted a small bird perched there behind the dense foliage.

This bird is quite small, only about one size larger than a normal hummingbird.

Upon seeing the bird, Ivan finally sensed the faint aura of extraordinary power emanating from it.

Ivan asked in shock, "How did you find out?"

After finally shocking Ivan, Erdin raised her chin slightly like a little peacock, put her hands on her hips, and said.

"Arkham, your sensitivity to blood is nowhere near as high as mine, a pureblood bloodthirsty being!"

Ivan gave a thumbs-up: "Great job, Hearst!"

Hearing the word "amazing," Erdin recalled the words Evan had used to praise that freak child in her fantasy.

So Eldin gritted his teeth and said, "Use a different word when you praise me!"

"I don't want to hear the word 'awesome'!"

Then I saw Erting step forward and clench her fair hand in front of her.

After the invisible force was transmitted, the bird instantly lost its ability to move.

Behind him, Ivan scratched his head, thinking to himself, "These noble ladies are such a hassle!"

"What's wrong with the word 'great'? Did she sense the underlying meaning of the word?"

"Wow! This girl is really sharp!"

After clearing the area ahead, the two continued forward.

Before they had gone two steps, a new trap appeared again, and it was still Erdin who was on guard.

Those were two mice, hiding incredibly well under the tree roots.

The two rats are connected to a warning magic circle hidden in an underground area.

The magic circle will be activated instantly as soon as the two people enter this area.

It traps the two people while simultaneously emitting a piercing alarm.

Eldin's methods remained quite mysterious and unpredictable; she pointed her finger slightly forward.

Then, the two rats twitched slightly, and then lost their previous intelligence, turning into two rat puppets.

When the two people stepped onto the magic circle, the magic circle became ineffective because the key element—the rat—was lost.
