"Eagle Strike Reversal, huh..."

Repeatedly chewing on this term, Xiu Yi felt immense pressure, really immense, yet he uncharacteristically laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

Xixi's question brought a moment of melancholy to Xiu Yi, but he didn't answer, fully aware that his days of peace were over.

No more lying down and doing nothing; ahead, there will be an arduous hellish training.

As a seasoned warrior, he no longer needed anyone to guide him personally. Any skill, whether he could master it or not, he could grasp the basics with just one look.

But when faced with Eagle Strike Reversal, an awakening skill that required microscopic control of one's breath, even his heart was pounding, yet he felt eager to try.

However! However...

"As Brother Feng's top disciple, it's totally unacceptable not to master a few awakening skills!"

This roar startled his companions nearby.

"Don't contact me anytime soon."

While speaking, Xiu Yi swiftly drew his automatic pistol, sprinting in several strides, disappearing into the vast wilderness...

"Ha, that kid finally found some fighting spirit." Red Ghost snorted coldly.

Kevin looked up at the sky speechlessly; it seemed only Brother Feng could truly inspire him. Yet, as a technician, he absolutely wouldn't lose to a warrior.

Thinking this, Kevin slipped away too, turning the F4 combo into a floral dual sister act.

——

Elsewhere in the star domain, Feng Yi was sitting in front of the FC, fiercely competing in their most familiar game—Contra—with a familiar buddy, abiding by the rule of not killing anyone throughout the shootout.

"Mo Ying, how long do you plan to stay in this spacetime?"

"I don't know. I wanted to attend your wedding, but habits are hard to change, especially human society. I've grown to find the Canying Universe life quite tedious."

"Haha, that's human nature. Your biological behavior doesn't include emotions like interests."

"Perhaps. Sometimes, I really don't know if stripping away your curiosity is good or bad, as it makes my thoughts less singular. Humans are indeed complex creatures."

Feng Yi shrugged noncommittally: "We live in a diverse world, many animals do the same."

"You're right; cognitive level doesn't equate to emotional level. That's our fundamental difference."

"Maybe you should come and visit the Peak Arena in a while, or travel with me. I think you'll gain more insights during this long journey."

"A long journey, huh..."

For a life form that has lived for billions of years, what humans call lifespan is merely a fleeting moment. Yet it is in these fleeting moments that it witnesses, learns, and even sees many eternal moments.

Such as love, the farewell of life and death...

It, who used to watch the world coldly, seemed to have gradually blended in during these years of contact with Feng Yi, bit by bit realizing the essence of 'humanity.'

"I look forward to that day coming, but where lies your destination?"

"The other shore! The other shore along the way. As we pass by places, seeing one scene after another, I think this process is the most beautiful. As for the other shore, I don't know where it is..."

"Will you participate in the Peak Battle?"

"Of course, but I may not fight to the end."

"Battle isn't something you've been relentless about pursuing and implementing."

"Haha, sometimes we ought to leave a path for the younger folks—Besides, I've heard Mardis' quantum train has entered official operation. How about we take that?"

"Not too interested."

It was rare for Feng Yi to hear such an opinion from Mo Ying's mouth, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"Compared to the Peak Battle, I'm more eager to meet your other friends. Once, I even had a chance encounter with those people; well, they're much more interesting than the old-fashioned guys on Ink Star."

"Like this one?" As he spoke, Feng Yi casually pulled out a rubber dinosaur, holding it in his palm...

At the moment they saw each other, both pointed at one another simultaneously, letting out an untimely yet surprisingly delighted exclamation.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's this one!" Mo Ying's eyes suddenly burst into a green light.

"Wow, this old geezer!" Eggy, at this moment, was no longer reserved, flustered in the wind, wildly waving the dinosaur claws while shouting to go find someone to fight.

As for fighting, it was simply King of Fighters '98.

Eggy used Bao Zi.

Whereas Mo Ying continued using its favorite, Fatty; it seemed in Mo Ying's understanding of humans, robust physiques were slightly more powerful.

It was still that old house, still the original faces...

Time flies, and years dart past, but at this moment, everything in the past hasn't faded away. The only thing that's gone is their youth, yet they've witnessed the changes of the times. Watching Xiu Yi, Zi Yu grow up slowly, even Feng Luo and Feng Wu can now run all over the place.

The whole afternoon, Feng Yi, dressed in Rafael's outfit, stood there offering advice now and then, fanning the flame for these two brothers locked in a fierce battle.

By dinnertime, Feng Yi, although not a great cook, bit the bullet and prepared a meal for Mo Ying, considering it a welcome dinner for an old friend.

As for Eggy, it was left to drink motor oil.

The following morning, before dawn broke the sky, Feng Yi got up early, began his habitual morning exercise...

Punching, kicking, making full preparations for the journey a few hours later.

There were still days before the opening of Sky City's Peak Arena. With the quantum train in operation, pioneers were swarming there early...

Because inside the quantum train, people couldn't feel the passage of time, seemingly in the blink of an eye, the interstellar voyage was completed, which not only facilitated daily commuting but also provided many conveniences for transportation.

At Alpha Kung Fu Martial Arts Hall, the two old men were in high spirits that day. Just one second before stepping out, Gandalf seemed to remember his beloved granddaughter, triumphantly rushing back to her room and affectionately holding Milly's dainty hand, "Milly, do you want to travel with me and Grandpa Lasso?"

"Travel?"

Milly pretended to be clueless, her little eyes showing a look of disdain.

"The Peak Battle at Sky City is a rare event, masters gather; maybe you'll meet a tall, rich, and handsome guy, and you can finally ditch that pauper Feng Yi."

Lasso gently coughed to fake ignorance of what he heard.

"You and Grandpa Lasso go ahead, Milly won't be joining."

As soon as Milly finished speaking, she slipped back into her room, shut the door, and didn't come out again.

Hmph, I'm so young and sprightly, I don't plan to travel with you guys, I already have plans.

Thinking of the encounter with Feng Yi, a charming smile spread across Milly's lips... She's well-prepared this time.

At the same time, Saudi's trains gradually made their way to the Sky Arena.

However, Jiu Ling will have to wait a while; as military personnel, she will accompany Kexiao, Black Wind, Xia Mu, Revenant No.3, and other important combat personnel heading to Sky City.
