The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 140: Meeting Again, the Reason for Fang Mu's Resurrection

Xiu pulled Fang Mu and teleported all the way until they reached a place far away from the Eastern Han Academy, and then he stopped.

"Fang Mu, why are you here? Aren't you dead?"

Xiu grabbed Fang Mu's shoulders and shook him continuously, trying to find out the truth of the matter.

"What do you mean dead? Liu Bei, what are you doing? Why did you drag me here? You are such a weird person!"

Seeing Xiu's serious face, Fang Mu suddenly became playful and started to act stupid.

Looking at Fang Mu's serious expression, Xiu couldn't help but wonder if he had really recognized the wrong person.

"Could it be that he really isn't the Fang Mu I know, but Fang Mu's clone in the Silver Time and Space? Could it be that they have the same name? That's too much of a coincidence!"

Xiu looked at Fang Mu in front of him, thinking constantly, and gradually he began to believe his guess. After all, he was present at Fang Mu's funeral. He did see Fang Mu's death with his own eyes, and also witnessed Xia Tian pushing Fang Mu into destruction.

"Sorry, Mr. Fang, I have a friend who looks a lot like you. Maybe I recognized you wrongly!"

Xiu shook his head, threw away the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, and then solemnly apologized to Fang Mu.

"Pfft!"

Looking at Xiu's apologetic look, Fang Mu finally couldn't help laughing.

"I never thought that the leader of the East City Guard of the Iron Guards would have to apologize to my Fang Mu one day. Hahahaha, I'm going to use Siman to take a picture of it and let Xia Tian laugh at you at the dinner table later!"

"Fang Mu, it's really you!"

After Fang Mu finished speaking, Xiu, who was mocked by Fang Mu, did not get angry. Instead, he hugged Fang Mu in front of him, which made Fang Mu a little at a loss.

"Hey, hey, hey, Master Xiu, why are you being so sentimental? I survived a disaster, shouldn't you be happy for me?"

Fang Mu patted Xiu's back, which made Xiu release his arms.

"Fang Mu, tell me quickly, how did you come back to life? Why didn't you come back to us after you came back to life? Why did you appear in the Silver Spacetime? And why are you studying at the Eastern Han Academy? Why didn't you return to the Gold Spacetime or the Iron Spacetime..."

As Xiu threw out a lot of questions, Fang Mu suddenly felt overwhelmed. Although he knew that Xiu had many questions, he didn't expect Xiu to ask so many questions at once.

"Stop, stop, stop! You're asking so many questions at once! How am I supposed to answer them all?"

Fang Mu hurriedly tried to stop Xiu, whose mouth had transformed into a machine gun. If he didn't stop him, Xiu's questions might overwhelm him.

"Alright, then answer my questions one by one. First, how did you come back to life? Everyone confirmed your death and even attended your funeral!"

Xiu seemed to know that he had lost his composure. He was indeed too excited after seeing Fang Mu. After sorting out his thoughts, he asked the first question.

"In fact, in a fundamental sense, I'm not completely dead. The death you saw was just the loss of a life in my body. In fact, I still have many lives!"

Fang Mu explained to Xiu that after he was resurrected, even he found it incredible that the Ultimate Worm Body actually had such a magical effect: the Ultimate Worm Body was made up of countless Ultimate Worms, so every time Fang Mu died, he would consume a soul in his body and lose a certain characteristic of the Ultimate Worm Body.

This time Fang Mu was lucky enough that he lost his most uncomfortable "unlucky star" physique. This was also the reason why Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not feel repulsed by Fang Mu when they saw him.

"Then how did you come back to life? Even if it was because of your physical condition, we should be able to feel that you are still alive, right?"

"This brings us to another peculiarity of my physique. Whenever I die, my body will automatically determine that I'm in an unsolvable danger and enter a state of suspended animation, similar to some animals. Ending this state requires a large amount of energy to activate! However, I'm lucky the Flame Messenger didn't destroy my body. Otherwise, if my physical body had disappeared, I would have had to face you in a different way!"

As Fang Mu spoke, he took out his own Wu Shui from behind. At this moment, the appearance of Wu Shui changed drastically, with black and purple lines constantly wrapping around its body. Xiu could feel that there was a powerful energy contained in Wu Shui.

"When Xia Tian sent me into the Destruction, my body entered a state of suspended animation. Various monsters wanted to devour my flesh and absorb my superpowers. But at that moment, the mysterious man who had helped Xia Tian find Han's drumstick in the Destruction appeared. He took the initiative to block these monsters for me and converted these monsters into energy for Wu Shui. He fed the energy back to me through Wu Shui, allowing me to escape from the suspended animation and giving my Wu Shui a new form!"

Fang Mu's mind moved, and the appearance of Wu Shui changed instantly. Ink-black energy extended from both ends of Wu Shui and gradually turned into a long weapon.

"This is what Wu Shui looks like after his advancement. I call it the World-Destroying Overlord Spear!"

Fang Mu was holding the World-Destroying Overlord Spear (Wu Shui) in his hand, looking very majestic. The sharp tip of the spear and the pattern of a dragon and a tiger fighting each other made him exude a solemn and domineering aura.

"I see. Then after you were resurrected, why didn't you return to Iron Time to find us? Do you know how sad everyone was for you after you 'died'?"

Xiu's eyes were red. After "seeing off" Fang Mu, everyone was immersed in grief for a long time. During that time, Xia Tian was like a madman, throwing himself into the affairs of Iron Time and Space, big and small, hoping to forget the sorrow through busy work...

"It's not that I don't want to go back, but I can't go back for the time being. I have left my aura in both the Golden Time and the Iron Time. If I go back, the Flame Messenger will find that I am not dead. I don't want to face the Flame Messenger's pursuit again!"

The reason why Fang Mu was able to come to the Silver Time and Space was also because of the help of that mysterious man. The other party not only helped Fang Mu hide his breath, but also knew that Fang Mu could not pass through the gate of time and space, so he forcibly opened a small wormhole for Fang Mu, allowing him to successfully come to the Silver Time and Space.

"Who is that mysterious man?"

Xiu Fangmu was skeptical about what he said, but Fangmu didn't say much. After all, he didn't know the limit of his physical fitness, nor did he understand why that mysterious man would help him.

"Alright, alright. As long as you know I'm safe, that's enough. By the way, don't tell Xia Tian and the others about my resurrection. That mysterious person told me that my resurrection shouldn't be publicized—at least not until I'm truly stronger. I don't want you to get hurt for me again!"

Fang Mu put his arm around Xiu's shoulders, and Xiu understood Fang Mu's difficulties, so the two agreed to keep each other's secrets. Fang Mu also told Xiu some things about the Silver Time and Space, so that Xiu could continue to disguise himself as Liu Bei.

"Let's go. To help you calm down, I'll treat you after school today. We'll go to Hongmenyan BBQ Restaurant. I'll invite you and your two brothers to have some barbecue together!"

Fang Mu patted Xiu's shoulder, and Xiu also said jokingly.

"Then you better be careful, my third brother has a big appetite, and you cheated me, I won't let you go, I will definitely give you a good meal after school today!"

"Come on, I'm in a high position now. If nothing else, I have the most money. Eat as much as you want today!"

……

As Fang Mu and Xiu returned to the classroom chatting and laughing, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came to greet them.

"Brother, Fang Mu, you guys are finally back. I thought something happened to you guys."

"What could possibly happen to us? Liu Bei and I are from the same hometown. We haven't seen each other for a long time. He suddenly met me and just wanted to catch up!"

Without waiting for Xiu to speak, Fang Mu immediately covered for him, which made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly realize what was going on.

"Brother, Fang Mu is your friend's clone here, right?"

Zhang Fei pulled Xiu aside and gave him a look that said "I understand".

Guan Yu was also very happy. His elder brother, who had been taciturn recently, finally found something that made him cheerful.

"Second brother, third brother, it's already noon, why don't you go eat? If this happens again in the future, you don't have to wait for me!"

Xiu looked at the two people who had stayed outside the classroom and felt guilty about them. He left with Fang Mu without saying a word, leaving the two of them waiting here.

"It's okay, big brother. My second brother and I have been reducing our need for food lately. After all, true masters reach the point where they don't need to eat at all. We martial artists call this state 'Bigu'. We two are determined to dominate the world, so we must achieve this state!"

Zhang Fei seemed to see Xiu's apology and immediately said generously that it was okay.

"Oh, so it seems someone won't be able to enjoy the feast tonight. Liu Bei, I have three coupons for a deluxe set meal at the Hongmen Banquet BBQ restaurant. I was originally going to treat you and your two brothers, but since they're not willing, please help me pass them on to someone who's interested!"

Fang Mu handed three food coupons to Xiu. When Zhang Fei heard about the Hongmen Banquet BBQ restaurant, his eyes lit up immediately and he kept begging Xiu for the food coupons.

Just as a few people were playing and joking, they suddenly heard shouting and cursing coming from outside the school gate.

"Zhao Yun, get out here!"
