Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Hua, calm down first..."

Seeing Fu Hua's shoulders heaving as her temper flared up again, Sakura went up and patted her back to soothe her companion's emotions.

"Speak! What are your purposes? What are your intentions? What are your motives? What are your demands? Who instructed you?!"

After calming down, Fu Hua looked up and continued to glare fiercely at Shi Bao in front of her, as if she wanted to devour this brat alive.

"Gulp—you old fogey, what do you mean! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you outnumber me!"

Looking at Fu Hua, who was several times darker and more ferocious than herself, the Herrscher of Knowledge tried to salvage the situation with words—but clearly, Miss Fu Hua no longer had that chance.

"Stop giving me nonsense, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be beaten!!!"

"Is this the kind of phrase you're supposed to use?!"

Shi Bao's eyes widened on the spot as he looked at the people in front of him, his expression one of utter shock.

"Ha—foolish!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua immediately curled her lip in disdain and looked at the innocent treasure hunter.

"The principle of leniency for confession and severity for resistance is applied to people."

"Do you even consider yourself a human being?!"

"What's the meaning?!"

Shi Bao jumped up from the chair, ready to pounce on Fu Hua—

"You old bastard, how dare you call me inhuman! Today, if I don't beat you to a pulp, I'm not Black Tiger Afu!"

With a loud cry, the Herrscher of Knowledge, blinded by rage, lunged at Fu Hua.

"First of all, the fact that you are not human is not an insult to you—it is an objective fact."

Clamping Shi Bao's returning left fist, Fu Hua took a small step back and analyzed the situation methodically.

"Secondly, you are not human—whether from the perspective of Honkai theory or biology, strictly speaking, as a Herrscher of Consciousness, you can at most be considered a humanoid being."

With a gentle kick, he pushed forward, and the angry man...

The Herrscher of Knowledge, in a state of utter confusion, tripped her lightly, causing her to fall to the ground in a position resembling a flower of hope.

Then a group of people swarmed her, pinned her to the ground, and tied her up tightly.

"Alright, alright, you old fogey, you know best. No matter what you say, you're always right—eat shit, Fu Hua!"

Shi Bao, who was pinned to the ground by the group, declared that he could eat any kind of turtle except those who talked nonsense.

"you.....?!"

"Sigh...maybe I really should discipline you a bit..."

"But that's a story for later—what was the purpose of you coming to challenge me to a duel five times in a row?"

Having already guessed the general idea, Fu Hua looked at the restrained Shi Bao and began to coax him gently, hoping to get some free labor...

"Huh? You're asking me why I'm bothering you every day?"

Shi Bao looked at the old antique in front of him with disdain...

"Are you stupid? Of course it's to prove that I, the Herrscher of Knowledge—the Symbol of Knowledge—have surpassed Fu Hua, the Fusion Warrior, who is just an old-fashioned combatant!"

"The era of fusion warriors is over!!!"

Shi Bao, who had just made the outrageous remark, made a face at Fu Hua.

"...Doesn't that sound familiar?"

Bronya leaned close to Kiana and whispered something.

"It sounds like a line from a villain in a space opera... but it gets slapped in the face several times by the 'return' frame that it's supposed to represent..."

Kiana nodded, seemingly thinking of a certain ramen-eating superhero, and glanced sympathetically at the boastful Treasure Hunter...

Chapter 359 The Immortal's Scam Doesn't Divide into Online and Offline Methods

"...The era of fusion warriors is over?"

Unlike Fu Hua, who showed no reaction to these words, Sakura shifted her gaze to the Herrscher who was theoretically her "niece"...

"Then—I'd like to hear what this Miss Talisman Reader has to say?"

Sakura, her strange competitive spirit stirred, narrowed her blue eyes and sized up the Herrscher of Knowledge, looking as if she wanted to challenge her to a duel...

"Ahem—Sakura, if you want to spar with her... let's talk about it later..."

Fu Hua shook her head at Sakura, as if to say, "Leave the rest to me."

"Alright, but... I look forward to Miss Shifu's insightful opinion."

Seeing Sakura's inexplicable competitive spirit, Fu Hua began to worry about how many people this brat would offend outside if she weren't watching over her in the future...

[Honkai Doctor, can't we put this child back in...? He doesn't seem to want me at all!]

Suppressing the urge to blurt out a sarcastic remark, Fu Hua examined the treasure detector in front of her, seemingly missing something—

"Hmm... Based on my years of experience, Ashi, this is a sign of a lack of identification."

Fu Hua nodded and circled the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was standing casually among them after being released and even picking her nose.

"Huh? Lack of recognition? What kind of recognition do you think I, this great man, need?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Bao tilted his head, his face clearly saying something like, "Why are you being so inexplicable, you old fogey?"

Hmm...there's hope!

Fu Hua was secretly delighted and began to patiently guide the little simpleton in front of her—

"No, no, no, the law of consciousness, Ashi—you lack identification..."

The immortal looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge before him with a very serious expression and tone.

"I already said, I didn't—!"

Seemingly annoyed by Fu Hua's gaze, Shi Bao began to grumble and stare back at Fu Hua, and then started another round of rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"No, no, no, look, you're arguing with me. You're instinctively unwilling to face the problem—you're even planning to use physical violence to deflect attention from this seemingly terrible issue."

Fu Hua didn't give Shi Bao a chance to make a move; she immediately stepped forward, grabbed the girl's shoulder, and began to reason with her and appeal to her emotions—

"Hey, hey, hey!!! You old relic, wait a minute... wait a minute!! I'm fine, I don't need any other attention or concern—do you understand!!!"

The Herald of Knowledge roared at the old man in front of him, ordering the people responsible for monitoring Chen Tianwu and Anna's movements in the distance to make vigorous hand gestures towards the two of them—

Fortunately, the Lawyer, who was in a hurry to run away from his girlfriend, was focused on rushing outwards and didn't care about what sounded like a quarrel between a grandfather and grandson coming from behind.

“Oh—my shrewd friend, you do feel that you lack some recognition from others—don’t be angry. Since you’ve called me an old fogey, how about listening to the experience of an elder?”

Fu Hua smiled as she looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge in front of her, who was starting to get angry, her cheeks puffing out in a way that seemed to say, "I'm so angry, but I can't hit you..."

"Hmph—I'd like to see what kind of tricks you old fogey can come up with for me. I just want to make one thing clear! I don't want that damned sense of approval you're talking about!"

With his arms crossed and fuming, Shi Bao looked at the smiling Fu Hua in front of him, looking conflicted, unsure whether to fight or not. In the end, he decided to listen to what the old man in front of him had to say.

"Ahem, then you'd better listen carefully—"

Clearing her throat, Fu Hua looked at the Herrscher in front of her and began to unleash her masterful deception—

"Kiana...did the class monitor also tell you this back then?"

Bronya watched as Fu Hua began to recount the sins of recognizing treasures, and nudged Kiana's waist beside her.

"No... I met Snow before I met the class monitor... Compared to the class monitor's Feather Dust, the Kaslana family's Stigmata and memory space that Snow created are even more realistic than the class monitor's..."

"Sister Snow... Kiana, you're really unlucky—"

Bronya, who immediately understood what Kiana had gone through, nodded, her tone tinged with sympathy.

"It's not that bad. At least my misfortune happened within my environment; it didn't actually become a reality..."

Kiana also sighed, then muttered something while looking at Fu Hua, who was giving a long speech not far away.

"Why does it feel like the class monitor would be perfect for telecom fraud and pyramid schemes... or is it just my imagination?"

......

"Look, Shi Bao—your first desire is to fight me, the fusion warrior you call an old relic—that's the first point, you want to prove yourself. And you yourself said that you need to tell the world that the era of fusion warriors is over, and now it's your stage."

"Then, look at your tone, there's not a shred of respect for me. You have the same memories as me but don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young... No, actually you don't respect me at all, you can tell from the way you call me 'old relic'."

"You think I'm an outdated, unrespectable old thing that should be eliminated—you can't wait to replace me and win back the attention and recognition that you call 'old relic'—"

Fu Hua made a sad expression, and the immortals of Shenzhou swore that this was absolutely the peak of her acting career—

"What...! No, it wasn't me! Don't talk nonsense!! I have great respect for the elderly!!!"

"On the way here, I even helped an old lady cross the road. This good kid, Shi Bao, said somewhat flusteredly, vehemently denying Fu Hua's accusation that he disrespected the elderly."

"But you called me an old relic, and claimed that I'm a relic of the past, an outdated thing..."

"—Uh...ga...oh...."

Shi Bao's rebuttal stalled on the spot...

"I...I...."

"you?"

"No, I didn't—you old fogey, you didn't hear anything!"

The Lawbringer of Knowledge began his second shouting spree—

"...An old relic?"

Fu Hua pressed for an answer.

"...I'm sorry, I was wrong—I am Fu Hua, the invincible number one in the universe, the one who can open the gates of heaven with my sword and dominate all ages—"

Black Tiger recognized the talisman and stopped thinking.

"So now you really don't feel a lack of recognition from others?"

Seeing that the situation was very favorable, Fu Hua chose to strike while the iron was hot.

"...Oh, right, right, right."
