Duka'ao finally understood.
No wonder—when De promise No.3 had detected that same unknown energy in Lin Fei earlier, Lin Fei had simultaneously summoned the Phantom-Scale Flash steed.
So the truth was—
The Phantom-Scale Flash steed itself was Lin Fei's energy.
And more than that—
When Lin Fei's energy was first detected, its intensity had actually been higher than when he summoned the Phantom-Scale Flash steed.
Which meant—
Lin Fei very likely possessed even stronger energy forms!
Duka'ao had thought he already regarded Lin Fei highly enough.
He hadn't expected that he'd still underestimated him!
"Mr. Lin Fei, what do you think of Blue Star as it is now?"
As for the absolute truth of Lin Fei's words, Duka'ao still harbored a trace of doubt.
After all, given his position, he couldn't simply accept everything Lin Fei said at face value.
That said—
They also lacked any means to verify it.
Whether it was Lin Fei's methods, his energy, or even his genetic classification—all of it was unknown to them.
Coupled with this short period of interaction and his observations of Lin Fei's personality—
Duka'ao felt that Lin Fei's words were, overall, highly credible.
At this point—
Whether Lin Fei was actually a Blue Star native no longer mattered much.
As they walked, Duka'ao looked at Lin Fei with a solemn expression and asked,
"You're asking about my view on the Void Gluttons' imminent invasion of Blue Star, aren't you?"
He really does know about the Void Gluttons, Duka'ao thought.
From Lin Fei noticing De诺 No.3 earlier, to knowing about Supergod Academy's existence, and even not being surprised by Weiwei's wormhole transport—
Duka'ao had already suspected that Lin Fei knew far more than he'd imagined.
That question just now had also been a test.
"Yes, Mr. Lin Fei," Duka'ao said.
"Since you're aware of how dangerous Blue Star's situation is, I'd like to know where you stand."
The question was very direct.
Duka'ao stopped probing around the edges and went straight to the point.
"No need to be so serious," Lin Fei replied casually.
"Talking like this makes me nervous."
He paid no mind to Duka'ao's intense gaze and waved his hand lightly before continuing:
"You call those who carry super genes 'Super Soldiers.'"
"And someone like me, who possesses anomalous energy—"
A faint smile lifted the corner of Lin Fei's mouth.
"—is called a Super-Beast Warrior!"
"Anomalous energy?"
"Super-Beast… Warrior?"
Both were unfamiliar terms.
Anomalous energy was clearly the name Lin Fei gave to the unknown energy within his body—something even De诺 No.3 couldn't detect.
But what exactly was a Super-Beast Warrior?
As if sensing Duka'ao's thoughts, Lin Fei continued,
"The mission of a Super-Beast Warrior is to maintain balance across the universe."
"When the weak need help, Super-Beast Warriors step in."
As he spoke, Lin Fei raised his left hand and clenched it into a fist.
The Phantom-Scale anomalous-energy bracelet on his wrist flashed with a bright light.
The sense of justice in Lin Fei's heart meant he would never allow the weak to be bullied.
He was also a young man who had undergone a full nine years of compulsory education.
His values were mature and well-formed, neither skewed nor easily led astray.
He was different from those Super-Beast Warriors of the Super Beast universe.
He could clearly distinguish good from evil and would not be swayed by the rhetoric of invaders like the Void King or others who cloaked aggression in grand excuses.
Yes—there could be light within darkness, and darkness within light.
Lin Fei didn't deny that.
But right was right, and wrong was wrong—there was no room for ambiguity.
Before transmigrating, he had no cheat systems or golden fingers, constrained at every turn, able only to do his best within limits.
Now, having transmigrated—
And possessing such overwhelming power—
He would no longer be bound by those frameworks.
He would thoroughly carry out the beliefs in his heart.
In essence, a Super-Beast Warrior fought for belief.
And belief, in turn, became the source of a Super-Beast Warrior's power!
At this very moment—
Lin Fei's belief transformed into a surging wellspring within his body, raising his anomalous energy.
His anomalous energy quietly increased from 0.1 black holes to 0.2 black holes!
Feeling the explosive rise in power coursing through him—
It was as if his belief itself had acknowledged him.
Lin Fei's gaze was no longer light and playful.
Instead, it shone with sharpness and resolve.
It closely resembled the piercing look he'd had in the Origin Space after being guided by Xuan Yi Zi—when his anomalous energy had surged tenfold, entering a second-stage state and breaking through the Origin Space's restraints.
Duka'ao's expression stiffened.
Even without meeting Lin Fei's eyes directly, he felt a chill in his heart—a sense of pressure.
Weiwei's eyes widened slightly.
At this moment, Lin Fei was—
Handsome.
Not the deliberately showy, posed kind of "cool."
But the kind of sharp, belief-filled gaze that seemed to pierce straight into one's soul.
They said a man was at his most handsome when he was serious.
Especially when compared to Lin Fei's earlier carefree, unserious demeanor—
This completely different side of him created an even stronger impact.
Weiwei's heartbeat sped up, her emotions surging.
However, this state didn't last long.
Lin Fei soon returned to his usual self.
The sharp light in his eyes faded.
He looked at Weiwei and Duka'ao with a puzzled expression.
"Huh? Why are you both staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Weiwei: "..."
Duka'ao: "..."
Both of them fell silent.
The contrast before and after was just too extreme.
Still, Duka'ao felt a bit relieved.
If Lin Fei stayed in that state all the time, the pressure of talking to him would be overwhelming.
And honestly—
Negotiating with the current carefree Lin Fei felt less mentally exhausting.
…Probably?
Then again—
Thinking of that mouth of his that made one want to punch it—
Duka'ao suddenly wasn't so sure.
"Weiwei, what kind of expression is that?" Duka'ao asked.
"Lin Fei, you… forget it," Weiwei said, rubbing her face, forcibly pulling herself back from her earlier flutter.
