My and Their Anime-Style Otherworldly Survival Adventure

Having already gained some understanding of Jiu Xiao, Fate naturally didn't mind playing a harmless role-playing game with him. So Fate, with a stern face, repeated the command he had just given.

"Then, Nine Heavens Soldiers, begin your training!" Fate's voice carried a hint of barely suppressed laughter, but her expression remained serious and earnest.

Seeing this, Jiu Xiao also put aside his playful thoughts and officially entered training mode. Following Fate's instructions, he began to do push-ups indoors. At first, there were many incorrect movements in his form, which were all corrected by the serious Fate.

Seeing this, Xiaoyuan and Sania also came over. After learning what Jiuxiao was doing, they decided to join him and receive Fate's training. Although Sania had also served in the military, her skills were still somewhat inferior to Fate's. Xiaoyuan, needless to say, was a complete novice. Since they had nothing better to do anyway, they might as well improve themselves.

And so, Fett's privates went from one to three.

When she started doing push-ups, Madoka's physical abilities improved somewhat after becoming a magical girl, but her stamina didn't improve much. She couldn't do more than fifty before she was exhausted. For an ordinary person who hadn't received any training, this was already a fairly good level.

Sania is quite impressive; she can do over a hundred in one go, which is at the level of a professional athlete. It's safe to say she lives up to her reputation as a "delicate woman" with both strength and speed, easily surpassing 99% of the world's population.

While the first two were still within the realm of ordinary people, Jiu Xiao was quite extraordinary. He seemed tireless, performing push-ups quickly and flawlessly, far exceeding the number done by Sania. His muscles tensed and relaxed with each rise and fall, displaying astonishing strength and endurance that drew attention from onlookers.

Fate watched Jiu Xiao's performance, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She had originally thought that Sania was already quite formidable, but she hadn't expected there to be another expert. The physical strength and perseverance that Jiu Xiao displayed far exceeded her expectations.

"Nine Heavens Soldiers, your physical abilities are truly astonishing. I think you can skip this stage of training directly," Fate couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao stopped what he was doing, a smug smile appearing on his face. Since arriving in this world and gaining magical power, he felt his body growing stronger every day, far surpassing his former self even without using body-strengthening magic.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Thank you for the praise, instructor. I will continue to work hard."

Xiaoyuan and Sania also stopped training, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Jiuxiao. Xiaoyuan, panting, said, "Jiuxiao-jun, you're amazing! I can barely keep up after just a few dozen, you must have done hundreds!"

Sania nodded and said, "Yes, Jiuxiao, your physical strength and perseverance have impressed me. It seems I need to work even harder."

Jiuxiao raised an eyebrow at Xiaoyuan and Sania, and said meaningfully, "This is nothing. In the future, I will show you my true power."

He deliberately emphasized the word "amazing," a blatant flirting that made the two women blush.

Afterwards, Fate taught Xiaoyuan and Sania some stretching exercises to relax their muscles. As for Jiuxiao, Fate planned to teach him some basic fighting techniques directly.

Watching Xiaoyuan and Sania earnestly doing their stretching exercises, both were so focused that they didn't notice their skirts had flipped up...

A glimpse of spring light flashed by, and with just one glance, Jiuxiao turned his head away, covering his nose. Don't look! He noticed that both Xiaoyuan and Sania were completely naked, and... completely bare. In layman's terms, they were like white lakes...

He quickly turned around. Was this something he could watch for free? He shouldn't linger here. Jiu Xiao walked to the side and waited for Fate to finish teaching them.

After teaching the others, Fate came over to him. Seeing Jiuxiao's focused and serious eyes, eager to learn more combat skills, Fate nodded and began to teach him basic fighting moves.

"First of all, the foundation of combat lies in stance."

As she spoke, Fitt demonstrated, standing with her feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, center of gravity lowered, hands clenched into fists and placed on her waist, her eyes sharp.

"This stance helps maintain body stability and facilitates quick punches."

Jiuxiao carefully observed Fate's every movement, then imitated her posture. Fate walked behind him and gently adjusted his stance until he nodded in satisfaction.

"Next, we will learn the straight punch."

Fate continued explaining, his fist flying forward rapidly from his waist.

"Keep your wrist taut to ensure the power is concentrated in your fist. Remember, your punches must be fast, accurate, and powerful..."

Jiuxiao listened attentively, then tried to throw a straight punch. At first, his movements were a bit stiff, but with Fate's patient guidance, they gradually became smoother. Fate corrected his movements while encouraging him, "Very good, Jiuxiao, you're learning very quickly."

This was no mere politeness; in the following days of training, Jiu Xiao indeed demonstrated astonishing potential and learning ability. His fighting skills, movement techniques, and reaction speed all showed visible improvement.

Jiuxiao did not completely give up exploring magic. In his spare time while Fate was instructing Xiaoyuan and Sania in their training, he would try to use fire magic to attack the rain curtain, because it was raining and he was not afraid of causing a fire.

In a chance experiment, he infused a large amount of magic into the fireball in his hand, resulting in a violent explosion upon impact with the ground. This startled the three girls who were focused on their training.

Fate rushed forward to check on Jiuxiao's condition. After confirming that he was not injured, a look of reproach and worry appeared on her face.

“Brother Jiuxiao, although magic is powerful, it needs to be mastered gradually. If you rashly inject a large amount of magic power like this, it is not only easy to lose control, but it may also cause harm to yourself or those around you.”

"I'm still shaken," Fate said, her eyes filled with concern for Jiuxiao.

Jiuxiao scratched his head and laughed somewhat embarrassedly, "Haha, I just wanted to see if I could make the fireball more powerful, I didn't expect the result to be so exaggerated. Don't worry, I will definitely be more careful in the future."

Sure enough, it turns out there's nothing a powerful brick can't solve. If there is, it's because the force wasn't strong enough. Quantitative change eventually leads to qualitative change, just like licking someone's boots: licking one makes you a sycophant, licking a hundred makes you a wolf warrior! (Just kidding!)

Xiao Yuan and Sania also came over, both of them very surprised to see the large crater that Jiu Xiao had blasted in the ground not far away. They had witnessed Jiu Xiao's fireball technique before; apart from the high temperature, it did not have an explosive effect.

Upon witnessing this scene, the two couldn't help but have a thought: Is he in trouble?

Jiuxiao, however, was not arrogant about his achievements. Instead, he humbly sought advice from Fate on techniques for controlling magic. As a senior mage, Fate could not directly impart his magic to Jiuxiao, but he could teach him some techniques for using magic.

True power lies not only in the ability to unleash massive amounts of magic, but also in the precise control one can exert over that power. Even the greatest power, if uncontrollable, is nothing but a disaster. Jiuxiao understood this deeply, and therefore, in the days that followed, he focused more on practicing magical control rather than simply pursuing increased power.

Fate designed a series of targeted training programs for Nine Heavens, aiming to help him better grasp the subtle changes in the flow of magic.

Under Fate's guidance, the four once again immersed themselves in intense training. With his astonishing learning ability and perseverance, Jiu Xiao continuously pushed his limits, his fighting skills improving daily. At the same time, he also began to experiment with more precise control over his magic, striving to unleash its maximum power in battle.

As time went on, Xiaoyuan and Sania also made significant progress. They not only mastered more fighting skills, but also learned how to cooperate seamlessly with Jiuxiao and Fate in battle to jointly deal with enemy attacks.

Chapter Sixty-One: Clues (4K)

Time flies when you're cultivating; half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the rain had been falling intermittently, but it hadn't dampened the four's enthusiasm for cultivation in the slightest. Finally, today, the sun came out.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining upon the earth and bringing a touch of warmth and vitality. It invigorated Jiu Xiao, who had gotten up early; the continuous rain had given him the illusion of almost becoming moldy. He took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on his skin, and his mood was exceptionally pleasant.

This morning, Jiu Xiao was awakened early by a system notification. The system had issued a mission to explore a small island after a long absence, with a deadline of today and a reward of opening a passage to other worlds, which made him take it seriously.

Two and a half months had passed since he arrived in this unfamiliar world, and Jiu Xiao's longing for modern society had grown stronger by the day. The emergence of this mission undoubtedly pointed him toward a path forward. He quickly gathered his thoughts and decided to discuss the exploration of the island with everyone at breakfast.

At the dinner table, Jiu Xiao proposed exploring the island. The team consisted of himself and Fate, with the remaining two staying at the camp. Jiu Xiao and Fate were currently the two strongest fighters in the team, and should be able to handle most situations.

Most importantly, Fate can fly, so carrying someone is no problem. Moreover, if he flies with Jiuxiao, the issue of magic power consumption can be completely ignored; he is a mobile "power bank."

After breakfast, Jiu Xiao bid farewell to the girls one by one. Xiao Yuan and Sania reminded Jiu Xiao and Fate to be careful.

"Don't worry, sisters, I will definitely protect Brother Jiuxiao. Even if we encounter enemies we can't defeat, we can escape from the sky."

Fate confidently assured him, her eyes filled with determination. Jiuxiao smiled and nodded, giving Xiaoyuan and Sania a reassuring look, and instructed them, "Be careful at the camp. If you encounter any emergencies, abandon this place and wait at the cave by the sea. Fate and I will also explore along the coastline today, and we're not sure if we'll be back tonight. Don't worry if we don't come back tonight; we'll definitely be back the next day."

After packing their equipment and taking necessary supplies and weapons, Jiu Xiao and Fate embarked on their journey to explore the island, their eyes filled with reluctance.

Holding Fate tightly from behind, Jiuxiao felt the wind whistling past his ears. It was the first time Fate had carried him on such a long flight, and he felt both excited and apprehensive.

"How are you, Fate? Are you feeling tired? Do you want to stop and rest for a bit?"

Fate gently shook her head, her golden hair shimmering softly in the sunlight. Her voice carried a hint of amusement: "It's alright, Brother Jiuxiao, I can hold on for a long time. Besides, compared to me, it's Brother Jiuxiao who's been holding me and channeling magic into me. Does he need to rest?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and he tightened his grip on Fate's waist. "She truly is my little angel, always thinking of others."

"Don't worry, Fate-chan, don't you know my stamina? I can hold on like this for a whole day, and replenishing your magic won't take much out of me."

Jiuxiao chose to explore along the coastline because the other three women had all crossed over from the sea. He had a feeling that this time would be no exception, and perhaps the seaside would bring him another surprise.

After a flight of more than half an hour, the two landed at the beach. What used to be a day's walk now took less than an hour. The scenery at the beach was completely different from that inland; the blue waves were rippling, the sea breeze was gentle, and there was a faint salty smell that made people feel refreshed.

Jiuxiao looked around and saw that the sea and sky blended into one in the distance, making it impossible to distinguish where the sky ended and the sea began. An unprecedented sense of vastness welled up within him. He turned to look at Fate and found her gazing at the distant sea, her eyes filled with both expectation and a hint of barely perceptible worry.

"What's wrong, Fate? Is something the problem?" Jiuxiao asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Fate withdrew her gaze and looked at Jiuxiao, saying, "I remember being transported to this world from this very sea area. Do you think it's possible that one day I'll be suddenly sent back to my original world?"

Jiu Xiao was taken aback. He hadn't expected Fate to bring up this topic so suddenly, and a strange emotion welled up inside him. He held Fate's hand tightly and said gently but firmly, "It's alright. Just like the sun and the moon, even though they can't see each other, they still illuminate the same ocean. Just like the sky and the sea, even though they are far apart, they are painted with the same color. No matter where we are, our hearts will be connected, guiding each other forward."

"If you are really sent back to your original world, I will find a way to find you and meet you again. Remember, you are not alone. You have me, and you have everyone. When that time comes, I think we will all work together towards the same goal."

He said some rather cheesy things, but if it was for the little angel Fate, Jiuxiao was willing to go all out. And of course, the effect was immediate.

Upon hearing this, Fitt's eyes reddened slightly; she was deeply moved.

“Brother Jiuxiao… thank you, I believe in you… you are always like the sun, guiding me forward.”

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't actually done anything; he had simply offered some comforting words, taking into account Fate's personality, when she was going through a low point. Now, seeing Fate so moved, he felt a pang of guilt.

The two continued their stroll along the beach, enjoying the rare moment of tranquility. A gentle sea breeze, carrying a touch of coolness, made them feel exceptionally comfortable. Soon after, Fitt took Jiuxiao on their next journey, exploring along the coastline.

They flew over stretches of golden sand and through several rocky shoals, but found nothing unusual. Apart from the occasional fish leaping from the water and seagulls soaring leisurely in the distance, everything on the sea seemed so calm and ordinary.

Jiuxiao was not discouraged. He believed that the Qi System would not speak without reason. There must be some clue or secret hidden in places unknown to them.

'Perhaps I've gone in the wrong direction?'

Just as Jiuxiao was deep in thought, Fate suddenly stopped flying, her gaze drawn to a bay that abruptly dipped inward ahead. The bay had a peculiar shape, like a huge groove sculpted by nature on the seashore, surrounded by trees, with a narrow waterway extending inward.

"Brother Jiuxiao, look over there!"

Fitt pointed to the bay ahead, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement.

Following the direction Fite pointed, Jiu Xiao looked down into the bay. The water was calm and still, reflecting the azure sky like a mirror, creating a mysterious and serene atmosphere. A strong premonition filled him; perhaps the clue lay within this bay.

"Let's go down and take a look; maybe we'll find something."

Jiuxiao suggested, his tone revealing a barely concealed excitement.

Phide nodded in agreement, and the two slowly landed on the beach at the edge of the bay. The sand was fine and soft, and the grains of sand under their feet shimmered with a golden luster in the sunlight, each step leaving behind traces of their exploration.

Walking inwards along the edge of the bay's beach, the sand gradually gives way to woodland filled with trees. The branches and leaves rustle gently in the breeze. Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the water, making the bay appear even more mysterious and enigmatic.

Seeing that there was nowhere to land ahead, and that going further inland would mean the sea would disappear from their sight, Jiu Xiao had no choice but to have Fite carry him at low altitude over the bay.

Jiuxiao and Fate carefully navigated the sea, avoiding the sprawling branches. They paid attention to every detail around them, afraid of missing any possible clues.

After flying for a while, Jiuxiao was attracted by the dense wood chips that appeared on the water's surface. These wood chips showed obvious signs of human processing, but they had been torn apart by some enormous force, with jagged edges scattered on the sea, forming a strange scene.

"Brother Jiuxiao, look at these wood chips, don't they look like fragments of a wooden boat?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao's gaze immediately turned serious as he carefully examined the wood chips. They did indeed resemble the wreckage of ancient shipwrecks from movies he had seen before. However, there were far too many of them; they were either very large three-masted sailing ships or part of a fleet.

Regardless of the type, there's a possibility of contact with the original inhabitants of this world. This confirms Jiu Xiao's previous speculation—that other intelligent races might exist in this world.

Jiuxiao warned, "Fate, be careful. We might come into contact with the natives of this world. We'd better remain vigilant until we're sure of their intentions."

Upon hearing this, Fate immediately suppressed her curiosity and became serious. The two continued flying at low altitude. As they ventured deeper, the amount of wood debris on the sea surface increased, some even mixed with fragments of tattered canvas. These fragments, pounded by the waves, emitted mournful sounds, as if telling untold stories of the past.

In addition to these fragments, Jiuxiao also found some "people" floating on the sea, or more accurately, corpses, and some wooden boxes.

The corpses were all male, and judging from their clothing, they appeared to be medieval Europeans. Among them were merchants, sailors, and many more men dressed in tattered clothes, which Jiu Xiao guessed might have been slaves.

Their faces had long since decayed from being submerged in seawater for so long, but their furrowed brows and clenched fists still revealed the fear and despair they had experienced in their lives.

He dared not look closely; neither he nor Fate had ever experienced anything like this. His stomach churned, and a wave of nausea washed over him. Jiu Xiao suppressed his discomfort and quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to find any living people.

After searching for a while, Jiu Xiao's heart sank. There wasn't a single survivor at the scene; the situation was far more brutal than he had anticipated. He realized that a significant maritime disaster, or a shipwreck caused by war, had likely occurred there.

Those wooden crates likely contained important cargo. As the investigation deepened, Jiu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He discovered two dilapidated sailboats stranded on a shallow beach not far ahead.

These two sailboats were of the same type as the sawdust and debris seen earlier; their hulls were severely damaged, and their decks were covered with signs of battle. A dozen or so corpses lay scattered on the deck, still clutching various iron weapons, creating a scene of utter desolation.

Jiuxiao and Fite cautiously approached the two stranded sailboats. Although their masts were broken, they still stubbornly pointed to the sky, as if telling the world about their past glory and indomitable spirit.

Both men were extremely cautious, afraid of disturbing any wronged spirits that might be slumbering in the waters below. They landed on what appeared to be a relatively intact sailboat and began a thorough search. Inside the cabin, cargo was scattered everywhere: exquisite porcelain, rusty weapons, and what appeared to be priceless jewels, but all of these items were stained with blood, giving them a very ominous appearance.

The cabin was filled with a strong stench of blood and rotting corpses, making them want to vomit. Jiu Xiao and Fate had to cover their mouths and noses and hold their breath to avoid being disgusted enough to vomit.

"Fate, stay alert. Let's see if we can find anyone alive, or the ship's log. Our safety is our top priority. If we encounter anyone who is hostile to us, kill them first!"

Jiuxiao gave another instruction, his voice sounding somewhat somber in the oppressive atmosphere.

Fite nodded, gripped the Thunder Axe tightly, and cautiously looked around.

"I understand, Brother Jiuxiao. You should also take good care of yourself. If there's a battle, let me be the one in front. My protective suit has good defense, and if I'm ambushed, my Thunder Axe will automatically activate defensive magic for me, so don't worry about me."

Jiuxiao was envious; having an intelligent magic device really meant you could do whatever you wanted.

After searching for a while, the two arrived at the captain's cabin. The cabin was relatively clean, but it was also filled with a suffocating smell of decay. A tattered nautical chart was spread out on the table, its edges yellowed and curled, marked with various symbols indicating routes, islands, and reefs.

Jiu Xiao quickly glanced at it, trying to find some clues, but unfortunately, it was full of unfamiliar words and pictures. Next to the nautical chart, a thick nautical logbook lay quietly, its cover made of exquisite leather. It looked quite old, but its former luxury was still evident.

Jiuxiao carefully opened the logbook, browsing through it page by page, but couldn't understand a word. He asked Fate, but she was also completely baffled; clearly, it must be written in another world.

In a drawer in the captain's cabin, the two found a small, locked box.

Jiuxiao stared at the small box, his brow furrowed. The surface of the box was covered with intricate and complex patterns, like magic circles he had seen on television. The keyhole was rusted, clearly indicating that it had been there for many years.

He turned to Fate and asked, "Fate, do you have a way to open this box?"

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell? No! This was just a lucky accident!

Fate took the box, examined it carefully, and then shook her head.

"This lock looks ordinary, but I sense magical energy fluctuations in the patterns on it. I don't know what would happen if I forced it open; in the worst case, it might damage the contents of the box. I don't recommend forcing it open."

Seeing that Fate had no solution, Jiu Xiao reluctantly gave up on opening the box. Since the item wasn't very big, he decided to take it back and study it slowly.

Tucked the small box into his pocket, Jiu Xiao pondered to himself, "Since we've found magic-related items here, it means there's a high probability that magic exists in this world." They continued searching the captain's cabin, hoping to find more useful information, but aside from nautical charts and the ship's logbook, they found nothing else.

However, in other parts of the ship's cabin, they found some books written in a different world, with some pages decorated with intricate patterns. Jiu Xiao guessed that these books might be magic books.
