Chapter 18 - Duka’ao Is Shocked: Conjuring Objects Out of Thin Air?!

Walking through Supergod Academy.

All the lights along the paths were lit.

Neatly trimmed shrubs and landscaped greenery lined the road, with tall trees arranged in orderly patterns among them.

At a glance, it was clearly designed with both environment and aesthetics in mind.

There were also benches placed along the roadside.

Because it was nighttime, there were fewer colors than during the day.

Still, the atmosphere felt exceptionally clean and serene—

With a faint sense of being a secluded paradise, far removed from the outside world.

However, the massive teaching buildings ahead—far grander than anything in a modern city—added a strong sense of solemnity and authority to the place.

Lin Fei walked with his hands clasped behind his head, his gaze filled with curiosity as he took in the scenery of Supergod Academy.

"Lin Fei, how did you do that just now?"

Compared to Lin Fei, who was busy sightseeing, Weiwei—who was already extremely familiar with the academy—was far more focused on how the Phantom-Scale Flash steed had disappeared earlier.

Duka'ao had originally planned to introduce the academy's buildings to Lin Fei.

But when Weiwei asked her question, his footsteps paused slightly.

In truth—

He was just as curious about Lin Fei's methods.

It was just that, given how unfamiliar he and Lin Fei still were, asking directly during their first meeting felt somewhat inappropriate.

Besides, he couldn't rule out the possibility that Lin Fei's sharp tongue would turn the question back on him.

"You mean the Phantom-Scale Flash steed?" Lin Fei looked at Weiwei.

Weiwei nodded.

"When you summoned that bike, I didn't sense any micro-wormhole data fluctuations at all," she said seriously.

"And judging by how it disappeared just now—like data dissolving—I'm even more certain it wasn't micro-wormhole transport."

"If it wasn't that… then I honestly can't figure out how you made it vanish into thin air."

Her eyes were filled with probing curiosity.

As someone who possessed space-time genes, micro-wormhole transport was what she was best at.

If that were the method, she would have detected it immediately.

At first, she'd thought the Phantom-Scale Flash steed had been parked near the restaurant and then summoned over by Lin Fei.

But judging from how it vanished, it was clearly far more complex than she'd imagined.

"Well… about that…"

Lin Fei deliberately dragged out his words, refusing to explain right away, clearly dangling a hook.

"You really want to know?"

"Stop teasing already," Weiwei said, elbowing Lin Fei lightly in the waist.

To be honest, although her favorability toward Lin Fei was skyrocketing right now—

There were moments when she genuinely felt lucky he wasn't an ordinary person.

Otherwise, with that personality, surviving to this day would already be a miracle.

"If you have any conditions, just say it. I'll agree," she added bluntly.

"Oh?" Lin Fei's eyes lit up. "Anything?"

"Hey—no!"

Sensing the teasing look in his eyes, Weiwei immediately realized she'd gone too far.

And if one looked at it with… certain tinted glasses—

That statement could get really dangerous.

"No—no crossing the line!" she hurriedly added, her face heating up.

"Oh dear," Lin Fei sighed. "If I hadn't reminded you, I'd have just kept quiet."

"Now that you've noticed, it feels like I'm at a disadvantage."

Those words made Weiwei blush faintly. She shot him an annoyed glare.

Watching the interaction between Lin Fei and Weiwei, Duka'ao's fists clenched unconsciously.

This red-haired brat was flirting with his daughter right in front of him—openly and shamelessly!

And more importantly—

His daughter showed no sign of anger or disgust.

"Ahem."

Duka'ao coughed and stepped in, forcibly interrupting.

"Mr. Lin Fei… to be honest, I'm also very curious how you did it."

"This kind of technology isn't recorded anywhere in De诺 No.3's database."

There was no way he'd let this kid continue bantering with his daughter right in front of him.

"Oh? So you want to know too?"

Lin Fei's eyes brightened.

"You should've said so earlier. Perfect—let's count it as one of your conditions too."

"Ah?"

Duka'ao froze.

"What do you mean 'ah'?" Lin Fei said calmly. "Weiwei agreed to one condition to get the answer. Don't tell me you expect special treatment?"

"We're not that close, so for you—two conditions sounds fair."

…Was that fair?

Duka'ao had already lost count of how many times he'd been rendered speechless since meeting Lin Fei.

Weiwei agreeing to one condition was one thing—why did he also have to agree?

If he said yes, wouldn't that mean he'd be revealing things he shouldn't?

And worse—

Why did he need two conditions just because they weren't familiar?!

Duka'ao suddenly felt the urge to escort this man right back out.

If this kept going, he feared that before the Void Gluttons even invaded Blue Star—

He'd already be coughing up blood from sheer frustration.

"…Fine," Duka'ao said at last, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"But it has to be within reasonable limits. If it crosses the line, I won't agree."

"Relax," Lin Fei replied casually. "I'm a model youth who respects the elderly and loves the young."

The moment Duka'ao heard the word elderly, his eyelid twitched.

He immediately remembered how Ah Jie had been called an "old man" by Lin Fei after being exposed.

And he himself had lived even longer than Ah Jie.

Was this kid subtly mocking him again?

Duka'ao decided not to think about it anymore.

He was tired.

"Actually," Lin Fei finally said, "this isn't some big secret."

"The Phantom-Scale Flash steed is just one form of my energy."

"When I want it to appear, it appears. When I want it gone, it disappears."

Lin Fei shrugged, his tone utterly casual.

"And that's it."

"…That's it?" Duka'ao couldn't help asking.

"That's it," Lin Fei nodded.

"So simple?" Weiwei asked, still stunned.

Lin Fei nodded again.

"Just that simple."

"That's way too—wait, no! That's not right!"

Weiwei's expression froze, then her eyes widened in shock.

"You're saying the Phantom-Scale Flash steed is a manifestation of your energy?!"

"Correct."

At that moment, Duka'ao finally realized the true anomaly.

His pupils contracted sharply.

Lin Fei's explanation sounded simple—

My energy, under my control.

On the surface, that seemed perfectly reasonable.

But the information hidden beneath those words was utterly terrifying.

De Promise No.3 had once attempted to scan Lin Fei's energy.

The result was an unknown energy type—one that wasn't recorded anywhere in its database and couldn't be analyzed at all.

The system's output had always been the same:

Analysis failed.

And yet—

According to Lin Fei himself, that energy could be directly converted into solid matter.

Weiwei's micro-wormhole transport relied on dark energy to manipulate hidden micro-wormholes in space.

Even the Solar Light of Leona—soon to arrive on Blue Star—used dark energy to gather stellar power and achieve nuclear-level transformations.

All of these involved controlling and manipulating external forces.

None of them—

Created matter out of nothing.

Yet Lin Fei did exactly that.

Directly using his own energy—

To conjure objects out of thin air.

This flat-out shattered conventional understanding.

If not for the fact that energy conservation still seemed to apply, Duka'ao might've even suspected that Lin Fei's power involved reversing the void itself.

Even so—

It was already terrifying beyond measure.

And this was just one form of his energy.

Which meant—

Lin Fei's power very likely had other forms.

And ones that were even stronger.
