General Raiden ignored Kujo Takayuki's flattery. He just glanced at the fellow Tenryo Bugyo who were approaching him and spoke to them indifferently.

"Add that blond girl to the Eye Hunting Order, and at the same time, increase the search for the black-haired man just now..."

Speaking of this, General Lei Dian thought of the scene where Gao Muming jumped out of the Chen Ge pot to block the attack, and pondered for a moment.

"Forget it. The other party has a disguise method and a cave to hide in. Just do your best."

"Yes, General."

After General Raiden left, Kujo Takayuki straightened his clothes which had become a little messy due to the airflow caused by the battle just now.

"You have all heard the Shogun's order, right? Immediately notify everyone to intensify the search in Inazuma Castle. Also, remember to inform the shogunate troops fighting in the front and ask them to pay more attention."

"After all, those thieves attempted to defy the general with their insignificant power and caused such a big commotion in Inazuma Castle. It can be said that they have no room to move around in Inazuma Castle and will definitely flee to the resistance army."

After saying this, Kujo Takayuki waved his hand and asked his fellow believers to leave. He quickly returned to the Tianling Bugyo Palace while still thinking in his mind.

"I will write a letter to Sala to tell her about this. With her character, she will definitely know that this is a great opportunity for her to make up for her previous mistake in arresting someone."

"All actions are based on the general's will. She will definitely try her best to capture the person and hand him over to the general for trial."

"In this way, the position of the Kujo family, which helped the Shogun deal with such an important matter, will be more secure."

Time passed quickly, and one day had passed since Takagi Akira and others escaped. The Tenryo Bugyo soldiers in Inazuma Castle were searching the entire city for Thomas and others who had escaped from the ceremony.

In a hidden room of the Mulou Tea House, Ying held Gao Muming's hand tightly with one hand, looking at Gao Muming who was still unconscious with a worried look on her face.

Paimon asked as he flew into the room carrying food.

"Ying, I brought food for you and Gao Muming. Eat something first and then feed the rice porridge to Gao Muming. By the way, how is Gao Muming doing?"

Ying looked back at Paimeng, then shook her head with a sad expression.

"No, he still hasn't woken up."

"Don't worry too much. Gao Muming is probably just too tired. After all, you said that he stayed up all night, didn't eat or drink for several days in seclusion. It's normal for him to rest for a while now."

Seeing Ying's worried look, Paimon gently comforted Ying.

"Besides, didn't you and Thomas examine Gao Muming before? He didn't have any obvious injuries except for the wound on the tip of his tongue. We also didn't find any residual lightning elemental power in his body using the elemental vision."

Paimon's words of comfort did not make Ying feel much better.

"Although I know what you said, Paimon, I can't stop worrying as long as Takagi Akira hasn't woken up."

As Ying said this, her gaze returned to Takagi's obviously pale face, revealing a distressed expression.

"You've seen how terrifying General Raiden's attack is in the previous battle. Even if Takagi Akira has gained something from his retreat, it would be a miracle for him to block that kind of attack head-on."

"In fact, I am more worried about the fact that Gao Muming's body was not injured. You know, strength has a price. What kind of price do you think Gao Muming paid to be able to block two consecutive swords from General Lei Dian?"

"Uh, I don't know."

Paimon shook his head and looked at Takagi Akira who was lying on the bed with his hands clasped together.

"I hope Gao Muming wakes up soon."

On the side, Ying quickly finished the food that Paimeng brought, picked up the bowl of porridge and carefully fed Gao Muming with a spoon.

Just as Ying was feeding him, Gao Muming woke up in a daze.

The first time he opened his eyes, Gao Muming saw Ying, dotted with soft light, looking at him worriedly. When Gao Muming regained consciousness and wanted to speak immediately, he was choked by the porridge he had swallowed subconsciously when he was unconscious.

"Cough cough~"

"Takagi Akira, it's great that you're awake."

Ying quickly put the bowl of porridge in her hand on the table beside her, helped Gao Muming sit up and patted him on the back.

"How do you feel now?"

Paimon on the side also flew to Gao Muming's side.

"Takagi Akira, do you feel unwell? You've been unconscious for more than a day. Ying is worried about you. So am I."

"I don't feel anything is wrong."

After shaking his head to respond to Paimon's concern, although his face was still pale, Gao Muming still forced a smile at Ying.

"Ying, you saw it too, right? I blocked two swords from General Lei Dian before, and exceeded my goal before retreating. I said retreating is useful."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, a look of doting appeared in Ying's eyes, and she agreed softly.

"I saw it, it's really amazing."

When Gao Muming heard Ying say this, his eyes turned into crescent shapes due to smiling.

"Goo~"

At this moment, Gao Muming's stomach rumbled at an inopportune time. Looking at Gao Muming covering his stomach with his hands, Ying chuckled, got up and walked out of the room.

"Eat the rest of the porridge first. I'll go make you something to eat."

"It's delicious! I want one too!"

Although he had just finished eating, the greedy Paimeng still shouted to follow after he heard Ying was going to make something delicious.

After Ying and Paimon left the room, Gao Muming, who had just looked calm, immediately put one hand on his forehead and a painful expression appeared on his face.

"My head really hurts. Is this the result of exhausting my mental power in order to block General Lei Dian's second strike?"

"My mental strength was so severely overdrawn, but I was only unconscious for a day. This is beyond my expectation. I was able to wake up so quickly, and the 'Toughness Badge' must have played a big role."

"It seems that the speculation of the people in the chat group about the badge having side effects is likely correct again."

"By the way, I don't know what the current condition of my body is. I haven't eaten or drunk anything for five days, and then I had to fight General Lei Dian. I remember that I was hit hard. I hope there's nothing serious."

As he spoke, Gao Muming closed his eyes and carefully felt his physical condition.

"My physical condition is fine. As expected, my physical fitness after multiple reinforcements is still very strong. But the dried-up magic power in my body shows no signs of recovery. It seems that I won't be able to use barrier magic for a while."

"But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Originally, everyone in our chat group deduced that magic power was created by the chat group using our enlarged soul power to distort reality."

"Now my soul power is used to restore my severely overdrawn mental strength. There is no spare part to restore my magic power. It is reasonable that there is no sign of magic power recovery at all."
