Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Unexpected Delight

At this moment, Hu Tao suddenly remembered the purple light that had shot into her vision during the transmigration process.

So, she immediately told the other three this important information and briefly explained the function of the vision.

Amber pondered for a moment and said, "So, your 'vision' has the peculiar ability to control Pyro elements."

"And during your transmigration, your vision was somehow tainted by Aether Energy, which gave it new effects."

"Now, please try to continuously release that power again, so we can make further deductions."

After hearing this, Hu Tao once again gathered the elemental power in her palm.

Then, a purple light shot from her palm towards the Remnant "corpse." But, unlike before, a dazzling green light suddenly erupted from the Remnant's body!

Amber immediately shouted, "Hu Tao, quickly try to absorb that energy back!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao switched from releasing to absorbing, and the light on the Remnant's body quickly dissipated.

Moreover, as the purple light continuously receded, its hard black outer shell gradually disintegrated, revealing... human skin?

Amber timely pulled a torn cloth over the "person's" lower body.

Finally, the Remnant's deep purple round head also gradually shattered, revealing the human head wrapped inside.

At this point, there was no trace of the Remnant left on this person's body, as if it were just an ordinary corpse.

Compared to the other two who were too surprised to speak, Amber was very calm: "It seems my guess was correct."

"You can control Aether Energy."

Although the volume of this sentence was not loud, it exploded in Billy and Ling's ears like a clap of thunder.

Ling asked incredulously, "Th-this... how is this possible?"

Amber replied, "It's not impossible. To my knowledge, Yun Kui Mountain in Weifei Land also has techniques that can utilize Aether Energy."

"However, not everyone can skillfully use such techniques. Only grandmasters like Yi Xuan can control Aether Energy very well."

"And someone like Hu Tao, who can flexibly manipulate Aether Energy right after just starting, is truly unprecedented."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes immediately lit up: "Oh my, my ability is actually so powerful! It seems even transmigration won't leave me without a way to survive!"

The other three: (●—●) It seems she's fine now.

At this moment, Billy suddenly shouted at the corpse, "Hey, look, isn't this the playboy Edmund von Monteff who went missing recently?"

The nearby IES leaned closer and said, "It really is. I remember the news saying he was the eldest young master of a branch family of the Monteff Family."

"A week ago, he entered the Hollow with a group of people for excitement, but only three survived, and Edmund von Monteff and the others went missing."

Amber continued, "Then, his father, Conrad von Monteff, firmly believed this was a deliberate murder by his ambitious second son and sued him along with the three survivors."

"However, due to lack of reliable evidence, there has been no progress so far."

Billy excitedly chimed in, "So, Conrad spent a fortune on the Rope Net offering a reward, hoping someone could bring out his son's body."

"But everyone knows that bodies in the Hollow will definitely be corroded by Aether Energy and turn into Remnants, so no one paid attention."

"As a result, today we not only encountered his Remnant-transformed corpse but also happened to save Miss Hu Tao, haha, how lucky!"

Amber glanced at Edmund lying on the ground and calmly analyzed, "And now that we've brought his body out of the Hollow, this is a great achievement. Nicole will definitely be very happy."

So, Billy carried Edmund's body. The group continued towards the nearest exit...
