29: Fall out of the reflected world

As his injuries stabilized, Cheng Yang raised his Summoner and aimed it at the massive crystal in front of him.

Even Lin Ti couldn't instantly devour and melt a monster crystal containing such immense energy.

Moreover, Lin Ti didn't intend to directly melt this special core; that would be a waste of a Heavenly Treasure.

So, he planned to use a blank natural card to store this monster crystal for research and utilization.

Cheng Yang also received a prompt and pulled out a blank natural card, aiming it at the Summoner.

Click!

As the blank natural card was inserted into the Summoner, the platinum-gold Summoner seemed to awaken its power, shining with golden light.

The massive monster crystal also trembled in response.

The subtle tremors traveled from the huge crystal to the ground, and in Cheng Yang's perception, it was as if the entire world of the spatial rift was experiencing an earthquake with the crystal's tremors.

He bent down slightly, steadying himself, his fingers tightly gripping the Summoner.

The Summoner, as if provoked, shone even brighter.

Under the illumination of the light, the massive core continuously shrank, and its tremors gradually subsided.

Until the massive core was completely swallowed by the Summoner, transforming into a card.

The card still had a white background, with a dark red vortex depicted on the front.

The vortex seemed to be spinning, connecting to an unknown location, as if it wanted to swallow everything around it, even people's gazes, into its depths.

In the upper right corner of the card, there was no letter indicating its rank.

"It's finally mine!"

"I need to thoroughly research how to utilize this thing!"

Lin Ti excitedly swallowed the card containing the core into his Summoner, impatiently enveloping the core with light, penetrating it as he desired to research this core.

And in the outside world, as the core was completely devoured by the Summoner.

The surrounding world seemed to have its cornerstone pulled away, trembling even more violently.

Houses looked as if they would crack and collapse with the tremors.

Cracks appeared in the void, spreading like a constantly shattering mirror.

"With the core gone, is this spatial rift about to collapse?"

Cheng Yang looked at everything around him, ignoring the pain in his body, and was about to get up and move away.

But just as he stepped, his foot heavily landed in a calm puddle of water.

The puddle reflected the real world on the other side.

His foot, as if stepping into empty space, sank into the real world projected by the puddle.

Then, his body followed his stepping foot, falling into the puddle and plummeting towards the real world on the other side.

On a street in the real world, Cheng Yang was violently thrown out of a puddle.

Due to inertia, he was launched several meters straight into the air above the road.

It was as if he was falling upwards.

Then, he was captured by the gravity of the ground's afterimage and thrown towards a puddle on the ground.

Bystanders around, holding umbrellas in the rain, in twos and threes, were all stunned.

Some even rubbed their eyes, looking incredulously in Cheng Yang's direction.

This person just seemed to fall out of a puddle on the ground...

Is it some new magic trick?

Smack!

Cheng Yang, caught by gravity, crashed heavily into the puddle on the ground, his already soaked clothes once again drenched by the standing water.

The wounds on his body, which had just recovered, seemed to reopen with this heavy fall.

The pain made him struggle on the ground for a few moments before he managed to support himself, swaying as he avoided the pedestrians on the road and left the scene.

And as Cheng Yang left the scene, the stunned pedestrians around finally approached.

They incredulously stepped into the puddle where Cheng Yang had just fallen out, checking if there was some hidden pit below.

It was also at this moment that the pedestrians on the road confirmed that the continuous Rainstorm that had enveloped Lai Guang City for several days had also slowly stopped as that person fell out of the puddle.

Looking up, the dark clouds over Lai Guang City seemed to be smoothed away by an invisible large hand, rapidly dispersing to the surroundings.

"The rain stopped?"

"That's strange."

...

Bang!

He twisted the key and violently pushed open the door to his house.

Then, ignoring his soaked body, he stumbled into the living room and collapsed onto the sofa.

He was like a person whose bones had been pulled out, slumping onto the sofa and passing out.

Or rather, falling into a dead sleep.

This sleep lasted until noon the next day.

Cheng Yang finally opened his heavy eyelids and climbed off the sofa.

His clothes had dried somewhat after being baked by his body temperature overnight.

However, the sponge under the sofa seemed to be completely soaked.

'I'll have to take the sofa apart and air it out on the balcony later.'

Cheng Yang struggled to get up.

At this moment, his body was even more painful and uncomfortable than when he had just finished the battle.

His skin, muscles, and bones felt as if countless knives were cutting them.

When he had just finished the battle, his body had still been somewhat numb.

Now that his mind and body had recovered a bit, his numb nerves honestly transmitted the pain from various parts of his body back to his brain.

"Hiss!"

Cheng Yang grimaced, staggering towards the balcony.

Outside the balcony, Lai Guang City was bathed in bright sunshine, with no trace of gloominess, only the city sparkling like jewels under the sun.

Perhaps the continuous rain had washed away the dust from the city.

Or perhaps the continuous gloomy Rainstorm had made the bright sunshine of the city seem especially precious by contrast.

But Cheng Yang thought of something else.

That Torrential Rain E card.

He pulled out the card from his body and looked at the Rainstorm scene depicted on the card.

His finger gently brushed over it, as if he could feel the faint dampness of the Rainstorm permeating through the card.

Listening closely to this card, the rain depicted on it seemed to flow as he gazed at it.

"Is there a connection between this card and the continuous Rainstorm in Lai Guang City?"

The Rainstorm during this period, which only covered the area around Lai Guang City, was already highly unusual, not conforming to weather patterns, and had not stopped.

And as he took out this Torrential Rain E card, the Rainstorm in Lai Guang City also stopped.

Perhaps...

"It was this card that caused this anomaly in Lai Guang City."

"Was the power of the rain all those days coming from this small card?"

Cheng Yang looked at the thin card, feeling the heaviness of the power emanating through it.

"The appearance of natural cards will cause special effects on the surrounding environment."

"Perhaps in the future, I can pay attention to places where special natural phenomena occur to collect cards."

Cheng Yang drew inferences, and after this experience, he speculated about the formation and phenomena of the cards.

The compatibility between Torrential Rain E and his Light Armor was clearly not very high.

If he could obtain a Light-attribute natural card, perhaps his Light Armor could be perfectly upgraded.

Cheng Yang stopped thinking further and carefully put away Torrential Rain E.

natural cards are rare and hard to come by; the immediate priority is to recover from his injuries.

Also, he had gained a lot of Light Energy points this time.

Let's see if there are any new exchange items in the Summoner shop.
