"Genos?" Everyone looked at the card in Mengmeng's hand with a puzzled expression.

The card depicted a blond youth with dark gold eyes and a body radiating golden light emanating from his joints. He stood suspended in mid-air, and what intrigued the others was the presence of two jets of flame beneath his feet.

"It's Genos, could it be..." Saitama looked at Momo in shock.

"Hehe, brother said Ji Fa can choose for himself." Mengmeng finished speaking and tossed the card to Ji Fa, who was staring blankly to the side.

Ji Fa hurriedly caught it, and the instant he caught it, a beam of light flew out from the card and pierced his forehead.

Ji Fa immediately froze.

“Hime Fa.” Saitama’s expression turned serious.

He didn't expect Li Daoyi to let Ji Fa choose to fuse with Genos, but out of instinct, he did not choose to object, leaving everything to Ji Fa's own choice.

Just as Ji Fa was receiving the information, Jianglong couldn't help but ask.

Do you know this person?

“Yes, my disciple, an exceptionally talented hero.” Saitama nodded.

"Very strong?"

"Well..." Saitama hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how to describe Genos's strength. Compared to ordinary heroes, Genos, as an S-class hero, was naturally ridiculously strong, but compared to himself, he seemed incredibly weak. Moreover, now that he had come to this world, he really couldn't describe him.

“Actually, I don’t know how strong he is either,” Saitama replied, rubbing his bald head.

Jianglong was speechless.

Just then, Ji Fa finished receiving the information and returned to normal. He stared blankly at the card in his hand, the surprise in his eyes still lingering.

"It's so amazing, a super nuclear-powered SSS-class mechanical hero," Ji Fa murmured.

"Super nuclear power SSS?" Saitama was stunned. What kind of name was that? He had never heard of it before. And there was a third S? Was Genos that strong?

“Yes, Saitama-sensei, this card has been enhanced.” Himeka nodded.

"I already know the information inside. It's amazing. I can become powerful by fusing the cards." Ji Fa's emotions fluctuated.

“You need to think this through, Himekasa. If you fuse with this guy, you won’t be considered a real human anymore,” Saitama said.

"I know, but do I have a choice?" Ji Fa gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"I want to change my destiny, teacher. I want to change Xiqi, change my father. I need great power," Ji Fa said solemnly.

"Snap... Saitama suddenly snapped his fingers."

“In that case, then do it, young man.” Saitama laughed.

Ji Fa nodded heavily, then took a few deep breaths, greedily inhaling the air as if it were his last.

"Oh dear, this is such a hassle. It's not as complicated as you think. After the fusion is complete, you can cancel the physical state at any time, and then you can turn back into a normal human." Mengmeng couldn't help but pout as she spoke.

"Really?" Ji Fa's eyes lit up.

"Didn't they tell you that inside?" Mengmeng asked, looking puzzled.

"Uh... there's part I don't understand," Ji Fa said awkwardly.

Ji Fa was, after all, a person from this world, and he simply couldn't understand the explanations of some terms.

Without hesitation, Ji Fa slammed the card heavily onto his chest. The card emitted a golden light that enveloped Ji Fa completely. Countless nanobots emerged densely from his chest and quickly transformed into a metal sphere, enveloping Ji Fa entirely.

Saitama walked up and touched the metal ball, then leaned in to listen to it.

Three days later.

The metal ball finally started to move.

Everyone gathered around.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

Countless electric currents surged from the sphere.

Then the metal sphere slowly dissipated and quickly disappeared. Ji Fa was suspended in mid-air with his eyes closed. He looked no different from before, except that his long black hair had disappeared and was replaced with a simple short haircut. His temperament had also changed, becoming more composed.

"Eeya?" Mengmeng walked over gently.

Just then, Ji Fa suddenly opened his eyes, which emitted a dark golden light, and both pupils turned dark gold.

He stretched out his right hand.

"Click...click..."

A mechanical sound rang out, and his right hand instantly transformed into a mechanical arm, producing a weapon-like object. Ji Fa pointed his hand into the distance.

"Sizzle..."

With a crackling sound, the gun-barrel-like weapon unleashed a powerful burst of energy, and a dazzling energy cannon shot shot out towards the distant mountain at incredible speed.

"boom..."

The energy cannon plunged into the mountain and exploded instantly. As everyone looked, the entire mountain vanished amidst the billowing smoke.

"Amazing..." Jianglong exclaimed in shock.

“This aura is indeed stronger than Genos’s. Is this the reason for SSS?” Saitama said.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Mengmeng jumped up happily.

"Huh? You can actually fly?" Saitama exclaimed in surprise. Genos needed to use the thrusters under his feet to fly, but now Himeha was floating in mid-air without any help.

“Saitama-sensei, this is the effect of the levitation core, but it only allows for simple flight. To accelerate, you still need the help of a thruster,” Ji Fa replied.

“I see. That move you just made was pretty good,” Saitama continued.

“That’s an electromagnetic cannon, just the simplest one. I have a much more powerful weapon,” Ji Fa said.

"Awesome." Saitama gave a thumbs up.

"Young Ji Fa, now you're probably not afraid of facing Huang Long," Jiang Long praised. He could tell the whole story from a single glimpse. Although Ji Fa had only shown a little of his strength, Jiang Long was able to deduce his true power.

"Uh... I don't know either," Ji Fa said.

Then Ji Fa fell from the sky, and Mengmeng ran over, looking him over from left to right, as if trying to see right through him.

"Thank you, Mengmeng," Ji Fa said gratefully.

"Well, thank my brother. I'm just delivering this to you on his behalf," the little guy said seriously.

Ji Fa nodded. He already knew of Li Daoyi's existence and had learned some information during the card fusion process. His master and Jianglong were both Li Daoyi's subordinates.

"Young man, even though you've become stronger, you still need to continue training with me every day." Saitama patted Hime-fa on the shoulder.

"Yes, Saitama-sensei," Ji Fa stood up straight and said loudly.

At that moment, Saitama seemed to see a fusion of Genos and Himeha, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Beiju Luzhou is the main gathering place of the demon race. Unlike the demon race scattered in other places, the demon race here is generally powerful, and almost all of them are at least demon generals. Just like the mortal world, it has its own cities and its own way of life.

Since the end of the Lich War, more than half of the powerful demon race has lived on this continent. They are restrained by several demon saints and have little contact with other races. Many humans also live in Beiju Luzhou. Under the protection of Nuwa, the demon race rarely eats people nowadays, and they even trade with humans.

Tianyao City is the largest demon city in Beiju Luzhou. It is home to countless demons and humans. The entire city is ruled by several powerful demon saints, and for many years, the various races have lived in peace.

On this day, a Taoist-dressed cultivator arrived at the Heavenly Demon City, standing at the city gate with some hesitation.

"Captain, look! It's a human cultivator!" The guards were a group of wolf demons, and one of the smaller ones spoke to a wolf demon who was ten feet tall.

The wolf demon turned to look at the Taoist priest standing at the city gate.

"Strange, why would a cultivator come here? I've been here for ten years and this is the first time I've seen one," the wolf demon captain said in confusion.

He then led his men out of the city gate.

"Who are you? Why have you come to my Heavenly Demon City?" the wolf demon captain asked.

Only then did the Taoist priest come to his senses.

"I am a wandering Taoist priest. I am passing through this place and wish to go in and take a look. I wonder if the general could do me a favor?" the Taoist priest said, bowing.

"A wandering Taoist? A rogue cultivator?"

"Going in is fine, but you mustn't use your supernatural powers recklessly and disturb the mortals inside," the wolf demon captain said.

"I know, I know," the Taoist priest replied hastily.

"Alright, you can go in now." The wolf demon waved his hand.

The demon race of today is not as unruly as in later Journey to the West, where they eat people at the drop of a hat. Just like Lion Camel Ridge, which, strictly speaking, belongs to the Buddhist forces, not the demon race.

"Captain, may I ask you something?" The Taoist priest called out to the captain who was turning to leave.

"What is it?"

"I wonder which demon saint is in charge of this city?" the Taoist asked.

The wolf demon gave the Taoist a strange look, but couldn't see anything wrong with it.

"This place is jointly managed by Lord Bai Ze and Lord Jiu Ying," the wolf demon captain said.

"Thank you, thank you."

After the Taoist finished speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his robes and handed it over.

"It's just a small token. I refined it myself. General, please take it and distribute it to the brothers," the Taoist said.

The wolf demon's eyes lit up immediately; this person could actually refine pills.

His expression softened instantly as he took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and smelled it.

"What a fine pill! I didn't expect you to be able to refine pills, fellow Daoist. Please, please come in." The wolf demon captain adopted a very humble attitude. Pill refiners were extremely rare. Although there were some pill refiners in his demon race, it was just a drop in the ocean. They could only get a few pills a year. He never expected that a pill refiner would come today. You should know that such people are honored guests no matter what power or race they are in.

"Thank you, thank you." The Taoist bowed and followed into the Heavenly Demon City.

"You all keep watch, I'll accompany you inside to find a place to stay," the wolf demon captain said to his men.

Then, the demon and the human entered the Heavenly Demon City. Once inside, the Taoist was clearly surprised. He saw people coming and going on the streets, demons coming and going, and shops lining both sides of the street. There were demons, humans, and aquatic creatures. He even saw an incomparably beautiful Asura woman.

"How is it? Isn't it different from what you expected?" the wolf demon captain said.

"I never expected it to be like this." The Taoist nodded.

"Ah, I haven't asked your name yet?" the wolf demon asked, finally realizing what was happening.

"My name is Puxian," the Taoist said softly.
