As Bochang plummeted rapidly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The fierce wind whipped around him, creating a roaring sound in his ears.

His trench coat billowed upwards, resembling something akin to a parachute.

This spectacle didn't last long.

Bochang swiftly grasped a cyber flying sword swooping by his side.

Then...

With the flying sword's momentum, Bochang changed position, diving headfirst towards the ground at high speed.

It felt somewhat like Superman's flight pose.

The only difference was—instead of clenching a fist with one hand, Bochang held the hilt of the cyber flying sword.

Within mere seconds,

Bochang approached the ground.

At this point, the cyber flying sword decelerated and began pulling him upward again, reaching the designated height.

Bochang leaped down, landing amidst the ruins, sending up a cloud of dust as the cyber flying sword automatically returned to its sheath.

When considering whether to reveal the power of the Horse Talisman, Bochang had initially hesitated upon seeing the options presented.

However...

Given that he himself contributed to this dire situation, not stepping forward would have been embarrassing even for him.

After all, it wasn't that he lacked ability but rather had a genuine means to further minimize losses.

Moreover, the system's rewards were quite enticing.

Bochang took a deep breath and gradually channeled the Horse Talisman's magic power within him. Sensing the opportune moment, he swiftly crouched down.

With one forceful strike on the rubble,

instantaneously, a blinding white radiance emanated from Bochang's palm, spreading outward in all directions.

As it swept through, accompanied by rumbling sounds, collapsed buildings rose anew, and fractured earth seamlessly mended itself.

The Exalting Sanctum seemed to undergo a reversal of time, appearing incredibly surreal.

From his vantage point high above, General Jing Yuan watched, momentarily stunned.

March 7th, Serval, and others gazed with wide-eyed astonishment.

As Bochang harnessed the power of the Horse Talisman...

a brilliant white glow enveloped his entire body, exuding an aura of solemn grandeur. Combined with the scene resembling a temporal rewind, anyone might believe they were witnessing an incarnation of some cosmic era descending upon Earth.

Welt-Yang observed clearly that not only did the white light repair the landscape and structures of the Exalting Sanctum, but it also miraculously revived the gravely injured Xianzhou citizens.

As Bochang forcefully pulled them back from death's brink, one individual had lost their lower body due to a meteorite fragment strike. However, after the white light swept over them, the missing half miraculously regenerated.

Scenes like this were not uncommon wherever the white light passed.

Even Jing Yuan gasped, saying, "This power..."

"Quite extraordinary, isn't it? Actually, my main purpose for coming to Luofu Immortal Continent was because of him." Herta placed her hand on her hip, feeling increasingly restless within. Her desire to study Bochang was almost palpable, as if it could leap out of her chest at any moment.

Jing Yuan spread his hands, remarking, "Now, even if someone told me he is the reincarnation of a fallen Heavenly Monarch or Fate Manager, I wouldn't find it surprising."

"That could indeed be a direction worth researching," Herta nodded thoughtfully.

Jing Yuan glanced sideways at her, initially reluctant to say more but ultimately unable to hold back. "Miss Herta, perhaps you should refrain from pushing your studies too far with him. It seems that Bochang might be somewhat resistant..."

"General Jing Yuan, rest assured, I know my limits," Herta replied nonchalantly.

Unfazed, Herta replied.

Seeing her reaction...

Jing Yuan refrained from saying more.

Everyone silently observed Bochang's performance.

The spreading white light of Speed was swift; within just a few seconds,

the most severely battle-damaged areas were completely restored by Bochang.

Including all the surviving Xianzhou people along his path, as long as they had a breath left, he forcibly pulled them back from the brink of death.

In even farther regions,

Bochang realized he couldn't continue much longer. He could sense that both his mind and body were reaching their limits.

The extensive use of the Horse Talisman's magic power

left Bochang feeling incredibly drowsy, with an overwhelming urge to fall asleep instantly.

"What does this mean... Why hasn't the system notification sounded yet? Do I need to keep releasing the Horse Talisman's magic power?"

Despite feeling dizzy and disoriented, Bochang wanted to persevere.

However, his body simply couldn't endure any longer.

After battling the fake Tingyun and then forcefully reshaping the meteorite using the Horse Talisman's power, Bochang was drained. If not for consuming the last bottle of Jym Rogers Bread Soda earlier, he likely wouldn't have been able to stand at this moment.

Just as Bochang felt close to collapsing, the voice of "Dating Options" timely rang out:

[Rewards being distributed—Congratulations! You have received a 100% increase in mental energy.]

The system's announcement was like a much-needed downpour.

In the next instant, Bochang's mind cleared, and he regained some vigor.

Of course...

It was only a slight recovery, enough to prevent him from immediately falling asleep.

Taking a brief moment to compose himself, Bochang straightened up. He noticed March 7th, Dan Heng, and others descending from the sky to join him.

"Bochang!"

The colossal dragon Bailu transformed back into her young girl form. She took a few steps forward and leaped, attempting a ferocious facehug maneuver.

Naturally, Bochang wouldn't let it succeed. He swiftly extended his arms, intercepting her with lightning reflexes. Grasping Bailu under her armpits, he held her suspended mid-air, preventing any further advance.

The dragon girl struggled frantically, waving her limbs. "Ouch! What are you doing..."

"I could ask you the same... Bailu, that's not how to use a 'dragon ride' move," Bochang looked helplessly at the dragon girl.

With her big, pleading eyes fixed on him, Bailu said, "Because this miss used too much power just now... I urgently need to replenish my Bochang Energy."

March 7th and the others silently observed the scene, without any intention of interrupting.

Bochang couldn't help but silently think to himself, "What the heck is 'Bochang Energy'?"

However...

He could guess what Bailu meant by "Bochang Energy." It undoubtedly referred to the magic power of the Dragon Talisman.

This was evident enough.

"Alright, alright... I'll give you some then," Bochang agreed without hesitation.

He promptly transferred part of the Dragon Talisman's magic power to Bailu.

Doing so further strained Bochang's already weakened state; his face paled slightly.

The dragon girl excitedly exclaimed, "Oh wow! My strength is surging back!"

Seeing Bailu's happiness brought satisfaction to Bochang.

Noticing that Herta and General Jing Yuan were watching him intently, Bochang realized they had something to discuss. He gently put Bailu down.

"Your strength is truly eye-opening, Bochang. I owe you a favor. If you ever encounter difficulties in the future, please seek me out, and Jing Yuan will certainly assist you." The Cloud Knight General of Luofu solemnly bowed his hand towards Bochang.

This gesture caught Bochang off guard, leaving him momentarily speechless before he hastily agreed.

Herta, with one hand on her hip, glanced at Jing Yuan and remarked, "No need to be so serious."

The cloud knight merely smiled in response.

Unfazed, Herta shifted her attention back to Bochang.

"So... are you ready to accompany me somewhere secluded for research now?" the doll-like girl took a step forward, her voice crisp as she said, "I must thoroughly uncover the secrets within you."
