"You want to learn to use and master the power of existence?"

Standing on the rooftop, Shana frowned and looked at Fang Zheng in front of her.

"Yes, you see, you have the power of existence, and humans also have the power of existence... In fact, don't the Red World disciples gain power by devouring the power of existence of humans? Then I wonder if I can use this power."

"What are you going to do with this power?"

This time, it was Alastor who asked the question, and Fang Zheng answered without hesitation.

"Of course it's easier to fight after Kaifeng Jue."

“…”

Faced with this unexpected answer, Shana and Alastor fell silent.

I have to say, this reason is really good and powerful.

"...Alastor."

Shana obviously intended to let Alastor make the decision, but when he heard Shana's voice, Alastor hesitated for a moment.

"Well... generally speaking it's impossible. Although what you said is true, as far as humans are concerned, the power of existence that each person possesses is limited. Otherwise, they would not be able to move around in the Seal. And the 'Crimson World Disciples' would not need to prey on so many humans. This is also the reason why humans need to sign a contract with us and become Fire Mist Warriors, but..."

At this point, Alastor didn't know what to say, because Fang Zheng was obviously an outlier among humans. Not only could he move easily in the seal, but his combat power was also stronger than that of ordinary fire mist warriors. Not to mention Shana in front of him, even the previous generation of "Heavenly Tribulation Fire" contractors were probably not so terrifying.

"...As a human being...it's hard to say, but you have to remember that the power of existence possessed by humans is limited. It is difficult to replenish it once it is consumed..."

"Don't worry about that. I have a solution. The previous treasure was very useful. I think it is a good substitute."

Fang Zheng certainly has his own confidence, which is the treasure he received when he first met Shana.

[Noble Phantasm: Lost Child at Zero Hour]

[Level: S]

[Effect: You can restore the power of existence consumed in a day at 12 o'clock in the morning]

To be honest, Fang Zheng was also shocked when he saw the effect of this treasure. It is simply a perpetual motion machine with unlimited energy.

"Noble Phantasm?"

As expected, Shana and Alastor were attracted by Fang Zheng's words.

"Did you find anything good in the Hunter's base?"

"It's not that. It was when we first met... I accidentally got a treasure at that time."

"Ah, you said that time... Indeed, I remember that Phosphorus seemed to have said something similar, that the treasure was obtained from Mistis... What exactly is that?"

"Zero Hour Lost."

As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, Shana's expression suddenly changed.

"It's that one?"

"It's totally unexpected..."

Alastor's voice was also full of amazement.

"The legendary secret treasure, the Lost Zero Hour, is actually in your hands... No, it's a good thing that it's in your hands. If it was taken away by a 'hunter', it would be even more dangerous."

"But... the effect of the Zero Hour Lost Child, as I recall, is simply to restore the consumed power of existence."

"Don't worry about that. I already have an idea."

Fang Zheng's idea was simple. He would build a magic circle outside the Zero Hour Lost to absorb and store the "power of existence". This was a skill Fang Zheng learned from the magician. As a spellcaster, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never risk his life. That was why they would prepare the spells they were going to use in advance every day and store them. Once they realized that the "bullets" were about to run out, they would immediately run away.

Fang Zheng also adopted the same method. If the Fire Mist Warrior carried a micro reactor with him, then Fang Zheng used batteries to store the energy from the micro reactor and then carried the batteries to fight. This might be a disadvantage for ordinary people, but it was not a big problem for Fang Zheng. He rarely used the power of existence to fight. For Fang Zheng, the only value of the power of existence to him was to open the seal. At other times, he could use his own power to fight.

Not only that, this also avoids risks. If the Fire Mist Warriors fail, they will die because they have signed a contract with the "Red World Devil" and are connected to each other. In this way, they are more like robots with built-in energy. Once the energy core is destroyed or the body is damaged, they will explode and self-destruct.

But Fang Zheng was different, he carried an "external energy source", so even if something went wrong, he could just throw it away. As for the battery... he could still make it again later.

“What a wonderful idea.”

After hearing Fang Zheng's idea, Shana and Alastor were both stunned. After a moment, the Red World Demon King began to sigh.

"Although we have long known that humans have wonderful ideas, this is really an area we have never thought of."

"Because the needs are different, the talent tree points are different. Moreover, it is impossible for an ordinary Red World Demon King to let me extract the power of existence like this."

As Fang Zheng said, the Zero Hour Lost Child is just a treasure, so it doesn't matter how you mess with it. But the Red World Demon King is different. Although their existence power will recover, the speed is very slow. Even if the Red World Demon King has a lot of existence power, it doesn't mean that they are willing to really turn into a nuclear reactor to provide power to humans.

"How is it? What is your decision?"

"I have no objection."

Alastor gave the answer quickly, while Shana frowned and thought for a moment, then she looked at Fang Zheng again.

"I have one condition."

"Oh? What conditions?"

Hearing Shana's words, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the little girl with a smile.

"I want to become stronger, even stronger... Therefore, I hope you can help me..."

When Shana said this, her face felt a little hot. Although she didn't finish her words, Fang Zheng understood what she meant.

"So, I'll be the one to train you?"

"Yes, that's right! That's it! If you agree, then as a deal, we can teach you how to master and use the power of existence!"

Perhaps she felt that her logic was correct, as she spoke, Shana raised her head proudly again.

"Well, in that case, I have no objection."

Seeing the little girl in front of him looking so smug, Fang Zheng didn't say much, just nodded his head to show his agreement... Hehe, you act so high and mighty in front of me, when we train, I'll teach you a lesson and make you doubt your life. Little girl, you have to be a little obedient to be cute, this kind of lonely and arrogant personality...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng flexed his fingers.

You need therapy, kid.
