“What’s wrong with you?”
Mu Bai quickly supported Ye Yuan to prevent her from falling over.
“It’s nothing…”
Ye Yuan quickly recovered from that state.
Feeling something, she opened her **[Personal Panel]**.
Behind her **Mental Power: 7** was a set of parentheses showing **(4)**, which likely represented her real-time Mental Power.
With just a single glance, nearly half of her Mental Power had been consumed…
However…
Ye Yuan quietly clenched her fist.
She felt that while she was feeling dizzy just now, she had already mastered a set of fist techniques…
To be more precise, it was a form of body arts.
‘Is this the effect of **[Weapon Master]**?’
Since this set of fist techniques wasn’t considered a conventional form of body arts, she shouldn’t have known it.
Yet, simply by coming into contact with it, she could immediately grasp it at a mastery level?
It seemed the potential of this talent was even higher than previously shown.
Tang Shifu took several seconds to compose herself before saying weakly, “That’s right, this is a **[Fist Manual]**… and it’s a martial art that involves inviting a God to possess the body, borrowing the power of a Spirit Body. However, I can’t grasp the imagery in the painting in just a moment. I’ll need some time to observe it before I can learn it.”
Mu Bai was a bit confused and turned to Ye Yuan for confirmation.
Ye Yuan nodded slightly.
“She’s right. I feel the same way.”
Mo Cha added, “Fufu’s family used to run a martial arts hall, so she knows a lot about martial arts. Since she feels that way, she’s likely correct.”
Mu Bai understood now.
Apparently, one needed a bit of talent to understand this **[Fist Manual]**.
She and Mo Cha hadn’t reacted because they simply couldn’t understand it.
“So, what you mean is…”
“I think the talismans in your hands are powerful enough that if we work together, we might be able to kill the Fierce Ghost. That way, we can keep the **[Fist Manual]**,”
Tang Shifu explained her thoughts.
Mu Bai had mentioned earlier that the enchantment power of the talismans could wound a Fierce Ghost.
Originally, Tang Shifu didn’t have this idea, but after witnessing the power of an enchantment being enough to wipe out more than ten Remnant Souls, she developed the desire to keep this martial art for herself.
This was a martial art capable of killing Spirit Bodies!
Being timid in the **Survival Game** might allow one to live a little longer, but they would eventually be eliminated.
One had to seize every possible opportunity to become stronger.
With a 60% chance or higher, it was worth a shot.
Success depended on human effort!
“Then what’s in it for us?”
Mu Bai asked bluntly.
They would have to consume **Little Spirit Flame Talismans** and face the risk of failing to kill the Fierce Ghost.
There had to be some profit.
“This Beretta, plus a full fifteen-round magazine!”
Tang Shifu pulled out a black handgun and showed it to Mu Bai and Ye Yuan.
It was relatively small, making it a good fit for a girl’s grip, and it was an easy-to-operate semi-automatic pistol!
Mu Bai and Ye Yuan exchanged a look and agreed without hesitation.
If their need for this handgun hadn’t been that great before entering this Station, they desperately needed it now.
Earlier at the village, the situation had been too tense.
Ye Yuan couldn’t find a chance to safely recover her bolts.
When she used the enchanted bolts inside the courtyard of the Ancestral Temple, that bolt also went missing.
Now, only two bolts remained.
The precision and specifications of crossbow bolts were very important, and the material requirements were strict.
They weren’t something just anyone could make.
She likely wouldn’t have many chances to restock her bolts from here on out.
A modern handgun, on the other hand, was a direct upgrade to the **Compound Crossbow**!
Not only was aiming more stable, but it also had a faster rate of fire and greater power.
Most importantly, it was easy to carry!
Although the **Little Spirit Flame Talisman** was currently their only trump card against the weirdness, Supernatural Stations weren’t actually that common.
Even if they encountered one normally, they wouldn’t be forced to enter like a Trial Station.
And… this Station was guaranteed to have **Treasure**.
Eliminating the Fierce Ghost would provide more time and space to search for it.
This trade was definitely not a loss.
“After we leave the Station, who does the **[Fist Manual]** belong to?” Mu Bai confirmed.
“It’s mine. Once I learn it, I’ll trade it to you for free. If we obtain any **Treasure** in the Station, you two get first pick of the rewards as compensation.”
Tang Shifu’s Mental Power was nearly depleted, and her state of mind was clearly a bit muddled.
She spoke only after thinking for a while.
Mu Bai was still hesitating, but for some reason, Ye Yuan tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Mu Bai caught the hint immediately.
She didn’t understand why, but she trusted her.
“Deal!”
Upon learning that Ye Yuan’s Mental Power had been consumed, Mu Bai had no other choice.
She could only let Ye Yuan hold her while she sat in Ye Yuan’s lap.
On the panel, the Mental Power was visibly rising at a rapid pace.
The four of them were exchanging information.
They would soon be collaborating to kill the Fierce Ghost.
Faced with a powerful enemy, it was best to cooperate fully, and no one should hide anything.
Of course, they hadn’t reached the point of looking at each other’s Personal Panels yet; they simply described their talent information verbally.
Mu Bai naturally had no choice but to reveal her **[Power Bank Constitution]**.
Mo Cha’s eyes flickered.
No wonder the two of them suddenly wanted to stick together.
It turned out to be a support-type talent that relied on physical contact.
She had experienced a **Supernatural Station** once before and had a deeper understanding of Mental Power.
A talent that could recover Mental Power held great strategic significance.
“I’m done. Your turn.”
Mu Bai looked away, turning her face slightly.
Beneath her white hair, her face was red all the way to her ears.
In the firelight, one could faintly see her delicate face flushing.
Her annoyance looked like mere shyness to outsiders, and her max-level charm was on full display.
Mo Cha suddenly felt very envious of Ye Yuan.
As a teammate, Ye Yuan could pull the fragrant and soft little Mu Bai into her arms to cuddle whenever she wanted.
And she even had a legitimate reason.
“Me… you’ve probably guessed it to some extent. I can basically erase my own presence according to my will. There’s no time limit, but if I want to make it so even Spirit Bodies can’t detect me, maintaining that state consumes Mental Power. Unless I appear right in front of you or intentionally reveal myself, I’ll never be discovered,” Mo Cha explained.
‘So strong, so ridiculous!’
Mu Bai was genuinely envious.
With this talent, low physical stats wouldn’t matter at all.
Erasing one’s presence with no time limit was, in a sense, even more broken than invisibility.
She was a natural-born assassin.
No wonder Tang Shifu had been so confident in her when she went to scout the village.
“What about Master Tang?”
Mu Bai mumbled, her voice muffled.
She was drinking the milk Mo Cha had used to bribe her.
“Fufu’s talent is called **[Blessing of the Death God]**. Damage or destruction caused directly by her body can apply special effects depending on whether the target is flesh or an object. For flesh, she can apply **[Healing Inhibition]**, and for objects, it’s **[Fragility]**… The wall at the village entrance earlier was probably broken by Fufu, right? That was the **[Fragility]** effect.”
Tang Shifu didn’t respond, so Mo Cha continued.
Mu Bai was about to cry from envy.
Truthfully, that single strike that shattered the wall had shocked her quite a bit.
If only she had that kind of strength, she wouldn’t have to cling to Ye Yuan’s leg.
Maybe she would even be the one being clung to. Just thinking about it felt great.
“…However, this ability also has limitations. The **[Healing Inhibition]** check requires comparing the physical data of both parties, while **[Fragility]** is related to the object’s hardness and toughness. Regardless, it places high demands on Fufu’s physical strength,” Mo Cha added.
Mu Bai nodded vigorously.
An overpowered ability like that should have limitations, or else she would fall apart from jealousy.
“Yuan-yuan, tell us yours.”
Mu Bai nudged backward with her head, signaling that it was time for Ye Yuan to explain her talent as well.
Influenced by Mo Cha and Tang Shifu, she had also started using nicknames.
Just as Ye Yuan was about to speak, Mu Bai noticed that something was wrong with Tang Shifu’s condition.
She hadn’t spoken since the deal was finalized.
She was leaning against a pillar, and Mu Bai had thought she was just resting her eyes because her Mental Power was drained.
Now, however, her face was pale, and her expression was one of considerable pain.
“Tang Shifu? Are you okay?”
Mu Bai tried to call out.
There was no response.
“Fufu? What’s wrong with you!”
Mo Cha turned her head.
Seeing Tang Shifu in this state, a hint of panic appeared in her eyes for the first time.
