However, experience prevails. Li Shuwen snorted coldly, grabbed Yuanxiang's left hand, and with a flick, the boy lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. Looking at the old man with his fist raised, Yuanxiang smiled wryly and waved his hands repeatedly, saying:

"I lost. You're really something. I wonder how much of your strength I brought out. Haha, I guess I'm still just a half-baked amateur."

"A half-baked amateur? I'd like to meet a few more half-baked amateurs like you."

Li Wenshu lowered his fist, squatted down, and reset Yuanxiang's joints, then couldn't help but say:

"Your life-for-life fighting style is not suitable for sparring with others. Your basic skills are indeed good, but there is still room for improvement in the details. However, there shouldn't be many people who can beat you. Kid, I'm a little curious. Before you became a Heroic Spirit, what kind of opponents did you trade your life for?"

"Haha, I don't know either, but he's definitely an enemy worth dying for."

Yuanxiang lay on the floor, laughing as he answered. Then, the boy rubbed his hands together expectantly and looked at Li Shuwen, saying:

"Hey, how about we go somewhere else for a game?"

"Hmph, brat, back in my day, stealing someone's skills was a serious crime."

Li Shuwen tapped Yuanxiang's forehead irritably, rolled up his sleeves, buttoned them up, and resumed his tea-drinking gentleman demeanor, saying softly:

"But I'm already dead, so there's nothing left to hide. I'm also curious how much you, a half-baked amateur, can learn from me. If you're free, come find me. If there are no monsters attacking, I'll give you a couple of pointers when I have time. Hmph, whether it's fists or aura, if you don't hone them seriously for too long, they'll become dull."

324 Chaldea's Connections

"Seriously, how did they suddenly start fighting?"

After Li Shuwen left, Ishtar flew up and poked Genshou's cheek, who was still lying on the ground, with annoyance, saying:

"Look at this city wall. Even a monster horde couldn't have destroyed as much as you two. Could you two be traitors sent by the enemy?"

"It's inevitable to feel itchy when you encounter a worthy opponent to spar with, but to be honest, we've already been very restrained."

Gensou pushed Ishtar's hand away, stood up, stretched his body, and cracked his knuckles. Then, he stretched lazily, took out 'Luna', and said:

"Besides, in this world, I can conjure gems directly, so this mere city wall is nothing to me. Ishtar, please carry me, I'm a little weak right now..."

Looking at the shyly smiling boy in front of her, Ishtar sighed helplessly, grabbed his collar, lifted him up, and piloted the Sky Ship into the air. Yuanxiang took the opportunity to import data into his body, transforming himself into a hazy moon, casting his light on the city walls, turning from 'illusion' to 'real'.

In the blink of an eye, all the damage he and Li Shuwen had caused was smoothed over, and other damage on the city wall was also repaired. Looking at the brand-new city wall, the soldiers on the front line who had rushed over with their tools reached out and touched it in disbelief, and then let out a shocked exclamation, cheering towards Ishtar in the air. After all, in this region, the goddess's name was still very famous.

But Ishtar's expression was somewhat subtle. To be honest, she did enjoy the praise and cheers from mortals, but her few remaining feelings of conscience and shame made her quickly shake the Origin in her hand to make it return to its original state.

However, at that moment, Ishtar raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly seeing Genji emerge from the crowd. The guy was mimicking the surrounding soldiers, shouting as if to say, "The goddess is amazing! The goddess is incredible!" Ishtar silently glanced down at the halo in her hand, not immediately responding to the cheers. Instead, she rubbed her temples with a headache. Her intuition told her that if she couldn't distinguish between Genji's 'illusion' and 'reality,' she'd likely be completely fooled. This kind of thing…

and many more!

Ishtar suddenly realized something, and her brows instantly relaxed. If even she couldn't tell them apart, then Gilgamesh would surely be completely confused too, hehehe~~~ I suddenly had a bold idea!

wrong.....

Originally planning to borrow 'Luna's' power to toy with a certain Gilgamesh king, Ishtar suddenly felt things might not go so smoothly. She had a feeling that the boy would betray her someday, and even send her off with a completely honest smile. No, no, she had to find a way to tie him to her side. She wanted to see that Gilgamesh king suffer a humiliation, no matter what!

Has Ishtar gotten herself into a dead end?

Looking at the goddess in the air, sometimes laughing foolishly, sometimes struggling, and sometimes scratching her head, Yuanxiang twitched his lips with a black line on his face, turned around and left. This Ishtar seemed to have the potential to be a crazy person. It was better not to get close to her at this time, lest he be dragged into some unknown muddy water. Besides, instead of waiting here for her to come back to her senses, he might as well go and have a chat with Mr. Li Shuwen and exchange some pointers.

To be honest, although I learned a move or two from that immortal in 'hua's' memory last time, it was just imitation and it never felt quite right. This time, I finally caught up with a martial arts master, so even if I have to beg and fawn, I have to learn something useful to take back with me.

Ok? !

Just then, Genji suddenly felt his magical energy stirring. Then, a familiar memory appeared before him—it was 'Joker'. Undoubtedly, this was something Fujimaru Ritsuka had created using Command Seals. Had this guy... encountered some danger?!

Genji's expression suddenly hardened. Although it was unlikely, if this was Fujimaru Ritsuka asking for help, then he needed to act quickly. This defensive line wasn't close to Uruk, and to get there in the shortest time, he could only...

'cyclone·xtreme'

In the emerald light, the ultimate power guided by the blankness instantly erupted. Although the boy's body did not have the power of 'Knight's Glory' at this moment, in his Servant state, it seemed that as long as the magic power was sufficient, the side effects caused by 'blankness' could be offset. This was truly good news, and even though the magic power consumption was astonishing, it was well worth it.

The moment the 'x' mark flashed, Yuanxiang's figure disappeared into the sky like a shooting star, heading towards Uruk City. Witnessing this, Li Shuwen silently picked up his teacup, his bright eyes narrowing slightly. He seemed to be thinking of something, and finally, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He nodded to himself, got up, and slowly walked towards the inner side of the defensive line.

But at the same time, Merlin, who appeared and disappeared unpredictably, had an unusually grim expression. Just a moment ago, he sensed something astonishing in the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers, as if it were making a move. His magic, which he used to seal and detect this place, almost collapsed. This was truly incomprehensible. What secrets were hidden in the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers? What was the Demon God Pillar plotting?

Calm down, calm down.

Merlin closed his eyes, shook his wand, and a petal carrying his magic flew into the distance. In any case, at least there were still some clues to investigate. The anomaly in the Imaginary Sea seemed to be caused by changes in the outside world. If he was not mistaken, Gilgamesh might be able to follow this clue and uncover something.

Just as Merlin finished delivering the message and continued to monitor the changes in the Imaginary Sea, a streak of emerald aurora arrived over Uruk. The gentle breeze swept across the entire city in an instant, swiftly locking onto Fujimaru Ritsuka's location before falling from the sky and landing beside her.

"Ritsuka, what's wrong?"

Gengo glanced at the girl's hand. Indeed, the last Command Spell had disappeared, and his 'joker' came from it. However, looking around, he did not detect any enemy.

"That...did really scare you..."

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at Mash beside her, who had a completely matter-of-fact look on her face, smiled awkwardly, and then said softly:

“Gengo, don’t be nervous. Actually, I heard from the King that you seemed to be fighting with someone outside, and that you were traveling with a goddess with a bad temper. So I was worried that you didn’t have enough memory, so I used up my Command Seals. Look, it’s already dark.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to the sky, then waved her hand and said:

"My Command Seals restore one stroke per day, they're not rare, so I might as well use them."

"Oh, I see. It's so good that you're alright."

Upon hearing this, Genji breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and deactivated his transformation. He then looked at Mash beside him and said:

"Mash, did you already guess that I would come back?"

"Well, after all, Mr. Gengo is a very worrier..."

Seeing Gengo's approving gaze, Mashu smiled shyly, but her tone betrayed a hint of pride. However, at that moment, Gengo suddenly realized something and turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying:

"How do you know about 'Joker'? I don't recall ever mentioning this memory to you."

"Hmph, this must be from our intelligence network."

At this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka struck a cool pose, and Mashu sighed, casually grabbing her senior's hair to make it stand up as much as possible, giving it a somewhat edgy, punk-like look. At the same time, the Chaldea Master raised her right hand and said in a high-spirited tone:

"Descent, summons! Chaldea Doctor—Romane Archiman!!!"

"Ah... Ritsuka, I sincerely hope you can introduce me in a more normal way..."

Just from the sound, Genji could tell that his owner was extremely troubled by this. Then, a semi-transparent projection popped up from the ring-shaped device on Fujimaru Ritsuka's right wrist, showing a control panel and a man in a doctor's uniform with a ponytail sitting in the center. The man looked at Genji with gentle eyes and said in a respectful tone:

"Hello, Mr. Gengo, I am Romani Archaman, the former head of the medical department of Chaldea, the Humanity Preservation and Protection Organization. I am now the acting director. While carrying out the repair work of the mechanism, I also serve as the adventure guide for Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash Kyrielight. Please take care of me."

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Director Romani."

Gengo paused, momentarily stunned, as Romani Archman extended his right hand across the screen, seemingly wanting to shake his. He instinctively returned the gesture, shaking hands with the administrator. At the same time, Romani Archman realized his rudeness, awkwardly withdrawing his hand and giving a sheepish laugh. Mashu blinked, turned to the side, and whispered to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Senior, don't you think the doctor seems very nervous?"

"Yeah, it's like not wearing new underwear on the first day of the new year."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded earnestly in reply, while Mashu punched her senior's shoulder in annoyance, wondering how she came up with such nonsensical metaphors.

"Regarding your matter, Mr. Gensou, it is actually recorded in Chaldea as well."

Meanwhile, after a brief awkward silence, the conversation between Gensou and Romani got back on track. The doctor looked at the boy, pulled up some data, and said:

"After Fujimaru Ritsuka accidentally entered that simulated singularity last time, we have been tracking her teleportation coordinates. It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but in the end, it was only after you activated that... super powerful form that we were able to detect the related magical energy fluctuations and thus pinpoint Fujimaru Ritsuka's location."

At this point, the image projected by Chaldea froze on a picture, showing the 'Cyclone Joker' form, which used the two planets as amplifiers. Romani coughed and pointed to the image, saying:

"I'm sorry, due to the previous attack by the Demon Pillar, the data related to you was damaged to the point that only this picture remains. However, we had heard the summoning sounds of 'Cyclone' and 'Joker' before that, which is why Fujimaru Ritsuka was still able to provide you with support even though she had lost her memories of that battle."

emmm...

To be honest, at this moment, Genji wasn't thinking about the wonders of Chaldea's technology, but rather whether the disappearance of his data was due to his use of the 'counterfeit ticket'. But regardless, this matter was no longer worth considering; even if it were true, there was nothing that could be done. However...

“Um…Mr. Gensato…”

Romani Archman's forehead beaded with sweat. Even through the screen, he could feel the sharp gaze of the young man upon him. The Chaldea doctor spoke with a stiff expression:

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Um...I'm sorry, I know this is inappropriate and quite rude, but..."

Gensho stared thoughtfully at Romani Archman and said, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, Mr. Romani. Do you feel that way?"

"Hahahaha... Mr. Gensou is joking."

Romani laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said with a forced laugh:

"How could this be? If I had known someone as capable as you earlier, I would have invited you to help me long ago. How could things have developed to this point? Hahaha..."

"The doctor's smile looks so fake."

"Yes, yes, senior."

"Hey, you two, stop causing trouble!"

Listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu's complaints, Romani couldn't help but tap the table, then continued:

"Alright, Ritsuka, the preparations on Chaldea's side are complete, as you just mentioned. We will cooperate with King Gilgamesh in summoning Servants to avoid being affected by the Demon Pillars. According to our observations, there was a strange and powerful fluctuation at your singularity just now. I'm worried it might be an anomaly from the Demon Pillars. You need to act quickly. We can't let those guys' plans succeed, otherwise, we'll be in a very passive position."

325 is etched into my bones.

Is there any unusual activity?

This news surprised Fujimaru Ritsuka, who raised an eyebrow in surprise. After all, singularities are, in a sense, things that exist in history, and for Chaldea to perceive changes within them without her acting as a medium is truly a tremendous shock.

At this moment, noticing Genji's curious gaze, Romani spoke up to explain:

"King Gilgamesh now possesses the Uruk Cup and the Holy Grail that was previously confiscated from the Beast Goddess. With these two Holy Grails, he can support the free movement of several Servants. And as Ritsuka and Mash experienced before, if a Servant transported from Chaldea is intercepted and subsequently corrupted, it would be a very troublesome matter."

"I see. Even with so little of the Demon God Pillar left, it's still incredibly powerful."

Genji nodded knowingly, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"In that case, you all go ahead with your work. I'm going back to the Monster Defense Line. I have some things to take care of there. If you need any help, just have the messenger contact me."

"Okay, then see you later!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave Genji a big thumbs-up with a carefree grin. The boy nodded, then rode away on a whirlwind to return and continue sparring with Li Shuwen. As for Ishtar, if she got bored at the monster defense line, let her come to Uruk; sooner or later, her existence would have to be reported to Gilgamesh anyway...

Oh, right, since I'm already here, I might as well tell that Wang about what I've been busy with today.

Yuanxiang slapped his forehead, quickly slammed on the brakes, and turned back towards the temple in the center of the city. After being informed by the priestess Siduri, he obtained permission to see the king, and then...

This is truly remarkable.

The boy looked left and right in surprise. The temple, which had been quite empty when he last came, was now completely filled with piles of stones. The red-eyed, golden-haired king was no longer visible from the angle where Yuanxiang was standing; he was buried under the stacks of stone slabs. The amount of work was terrifying. Wouldn't this person die from overwork?!

"Humph!"
