Ye Yu had no idea when it started, but he felt he might die under the Interstellar Laser Cannon, or fall victim to the Ability Master’s attack, or even perish directly beneath the ancient Gallows. However, he never imagined he would die in a fire; that would be too painful and not worth it.
Yet, if Ye Yu were to drop the man he was carrying right now, he believed that with his speed, even injured, he could still make it out. But Ye Yu couldn’t bring himself to do that; he wasn’t at the point of being so heartless just yet.
What puzzled him was how this man could still be asleep in such scorching air; even while being carried, he hadn’t woken up. If Ye Yu hadn’t known that the man was still breathing, he would have thought him dead.
“No way, no one can sleep so soundly in this environment!” Ye Yu thought uneasily, recalling the recent events that felt increasingly off.
In the next moment, as if struck by a realization, Ye Yu turned and placed the man directly on the ground. At the same time, his Psychic Power surged forth, enveloping the man instantly.
In that instant, it seemed the man sensed something and woke up.
“Where… where is this? Oh no, it’s on fire…” The Obese Man appeared genuinely frightened as he tried to back away from the flames.
“Stop pretending! Who are you really?” The fire was growing fiercer by the second, and the temperature inside the room was rising rapidly. If it weren’t for Ye Yu’s incredible endurance, he would have lost his composure by now.
“Sir, who are you… how did I end up in this inferno?” The Obese Man seemed not to hear Ye Yu’s words and continued looking around as if searching for something.
“Fine! If you won’t tell me, then I’m leaving!” Ye Yu observed the man’s expression and sensed something was amiss. A normal person would have bolted upon waking to such a fire; yet here was this man pretending to be terrified. The more he acted this way, the clearer it became that he was stalling for time, trying to keep Ye Yu there.
Just as Ye Yu finished speaking, he activated his Lightness Technique and dashed toward an exit away from the flames.
“Boom—” Suddenly at that moment, a larger fire dragon surged in, blocking Ye Yu's path.
“You… you’re here to deal with me!” At this point, Ye Yu understood what was happening; everything had been planned out. They were waiting for him to enter the store to create a conflict and then use the pretense of rescuing him to trap him in this inferno—ultimately burning him alive! In such a situation, even the ever-present Federal Radiance might find a way to escape judgment.
"No, no... this is a fire, and we are both inside it!" The Obese Man stood before Ye Yu, his face cold and indifferent, no longer displaying the panic he had just moments ago. Even with the flames raging around them, his apathy towards life overshadowed the heat.
Ye Yu's Psychic Power enveloped the area, but the fire continued to spread, its scorching heat surrounding him completely.
"I don't believe you would die with me!" Ye Yu observed that the man had yet to make a move, clearly unafraid of the fire. He understood that as long as the man remained there, he still had a chance.
"Hmph! Of course, I won't accompany you to your death!" The Obese Man replied, yet he showed no intention of leaving.
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't know who this man was, but he was certainly not an ordinary person. Without any hesitation, Ye Yu unleashed his Mental Power towards the man's mind.
Without the protective barrier of his Mental Power, Ye Yu felt as if he had plunged into lava; his entire body seemed to be on fire.
However, every effort yields a reward. Ye Yu's Mental Power swiftly invaded the man's mind while he was caught off guard.
"Tang Family..."
Ye Yu quickly obtained an identity information. At that moment, something strange surged within the man's mind, instantly repelling Ye Yu's Mental Power.
"As expected, a stellar-level Mental Power is formidable. If I hadn't been prepared in advance, you might have succeeded!"
The Obese Man snapped back to awareness from his momentary daze, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. His previously dismissive expression turned serious.
"Tang Family? Are you one of them?" Ye Yu knew well who the Tang Family was; after all, the Federation's Nebula Tower belonged to them, and most of the organizations inside had close ties with the Tang Family. Ordinary people were unaware of this, but as a top-tier force, the Zhou Family certainly knew. Since Zhou Family was aware, Ye Yu naturally understood too. However, he didn't grasp what it meant for him; it seemed he hadn't offended them in any way.
"Hahaha... If the Tang family really wanted to deal with you, would you still be standing here talking?" The Obese Man's tone was filled with mockery, neither confirming nor denying anything.
"Whoever it is, they won't be able to keep me here!"
Ye Yu's mind raced. Although he hadn't offended the Tang family directly, many prominent families were interconnected, and it was possible he had inadvertently provoked someone else, leading to this retaliation. However, it might not even be the Tang family; from what Ye Yu understood, they were generally quite upright and wouldn't engage in such underhanded tactics.
Ye Yu glanced around the room. Most of the items had already caught fire, leaving only a few chairs in the center that were on the verge of melting.
Suddenly, one of the burning chairs flew toward the Obese Man. An eerie scene unfolded as several other chairs also hurled themselves into the flames. At that moment, Ye Yu was fully focused, clearly using two streams of Mental Power to accomplish different tasks.
"Trivial technique!" Just as the flaming chair charged at the Obese Man, a nearly transparent energy enveloped it instantly.
A puff of white smoke billowed out, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop slightly.
"Water Elementalist!"
Ye Yu was taken aback; he hadn't expected his opponent to send two Ability Users after him, and they happened to wield opposing elemental abilities—water and fire.
All of this transpired in an instant. Ye Yu had already reached the heart of the flames, but he had used a chair to create a barrier against the fire. He just needed a second—less than a second—to break free.
Suddenly, just as one of Ye Yu's feet was about to step out, he felt a tightness throughout his body; he found himself completely immobilized!
