Chapter 378: Chapter 377: The Principle of Superpowers

During the last self-study session in the evening, Peng Lianghai stood up and quietly left the classroom.

He had been under a great deal of stress recently, often taking walks outside of school. The high walls and gates of the school were nothing more than a hop away for him.

Last night, while returning someone’s stolen wallet, he had been out taking a sneaky walk.

“Why are you guys following me?” Peng Lianghai noticed Bai Hongtu and Jiang Li trailing behind him.

“Well, we’re supposed to join the same organization, so we should act together.”

As the three of them strolled through the streets, Peng Lianghai curiously asked, “How did you two awaken your special abilities?”

Bai Hongtu slipped into his memories, “I was in dire straits, no help in sight, and barely managing to survive. Just at that critical moment, a sudden inspiration struck me and I understood something, which eventually led to the awakening of my immortal cultivation ability.”

Jiang Li said, “At that time, I had put him in that dangerous situation and no one could save him. After he had awakened his cultivation ability and attempted to fight back, I awakened my invincible ability and subdued him just at the crucial moment.”

Peng Lianghai rolled his eyes, clearly not believing their stories.

“What do we eat? I’ll treat.” As they walked through the night market, Bai Hongtu generously offered to buy them food.

He had used his Stone to Gold spell to obtain a good deal of money. If Bai Hongtu wanted, he could flood the market with gold at any time, unbalancing the monetary system.

Of course, Jiang Li could also interrupt Bai Hongtu’s actions anytime he wanted.

Just when Peng Lianghai was about to politely decline and suggest what he wanted to eat, he noticed that Bai Hongtu was looking at something overhead.

Peng Lianghai also looked up, but couldn’t see anything.

Jiang Li placed his finger on Peng Lianghai’s forehead, and only then did Peng Lianghai see something above them.

Several figures flashed past, chasing something. One of them was Shao Junyi, whom they had seen yesterday.

“Why didn’t I see them just now?”

“Didn’t she already mention it? Her ability is illusion. She put everyone nearby into an illusion earlier, making them unable to see her.”

“So that’s what happened.” Peng Lianghai finally understood. He had unknowingly fallen into an illusion.

“So why weren’t you two affected? And how could you help me break free from the illusion?”

Jiang Li gave a mysterious smile, “Because this is just the simplest form of Illusionary Path.”

“Illusionary Path?”

Jiang Li didn’t say much, “Let’s go see what they are doing.”

“Cultist, halt!”

The men shouted as they moved across the buildings, yelling at the cultist below.

“These cultists have a major conspiracy in Sea City. We must catch them!”

With the protection of illusions, the Super Power User Management Bureau operatives were no longer worried about being seen. They boldly released various powers.

“Fire Snake!”

One ability user released a serpentine flame, a fire ability user.

“Thunder Palm!”

A second ability user released lightning from his palm, a thunder ability user.

The lightning and the serpentine flame fused together. The two abilities combined into a powerful Serpentine Thunder Fire, crackling loudly.

The cultist fled in embarrassment, barely evading the attack.

“Stop!”

An ability user shouted, pointing at the cultist. A bead of sweat the size of a soybean appeared on his forehead. He was a psychic.

The cultist paused for a moment, but quickly broke free from the restraint.

“Dammit, this guy has too strong a will.” The psychic cursed under his breath. He could only continue the chase after using his power. He needed several minutes intervals in between uses; otherwise, the burden would be too great, and his brain wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“This is interesting. Illusionary Path, Spells, Divine Sense, all are familiar things.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu calmly followed behind, observing these ability users.

They had roughly figured out the principle of super abilities.

“The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth give rise to everything, including time and space. This world might confirm the theory of the Five Elements Creation.” Bai Hongtu laughed.

There were many theories about the creation of the world in Immortal Realm that Bai Hongtu was aware of:

The Five Elements Creation Theory.

The Four Elemental Creation Theory.

The Yin-Yang Creation Theory…

Among them, the most supporters are for the Five Elements Creation Theory and Four Elemental Creation Theory.

At first, Bai Hongtu thought that the fire ability user and thunder ability user were fire attribute single Spiritual Root and thunder attribute single Spiritual Root respectively.

Later, Bai Hongtu realized that they were Five Elements Spiritual Root.

Bai Hongtu also discovered that several ability users were all Five Elements Spiritual Root, just that the Five Elements’ proportion differed.

If the proportions are different, the things generated after combination will also be different.

Some people generated fire, some generated illusions, and some could strengthen themselves.

“This is really interesting.” Jiang Li also showed an interested smile.

“But their combat power is too low, and their physical fitness isn’t up to par. Their development is imbalanced.” Bai Hongtu grumbled dissatisfiedly. The qi cultivation stage and golden core stage cultivators in the Immortal Realm could do these things, and there were no restrictions. They could release fire with one hand, lightning with the other, and even illusions with their eyes.

A cultivator was essentially a super ability user with multiple abilities.

Although these ability users could use the spells of the foundation establishment stage and the golden core stage, their physical strength was only equivalent to the early stages of qi cultivation, and they were very fragile.

If put in their world, close-quarters combat would render them unable to defeat even a small vendor selling candied haws.

“On the other hand, we could learn a thing or two from psychics, perhaps even enabling cultivators to start training their Divine Sense at an earlier stage.”

Bai Hongtu had always felt that unlocking Divine Sense at the nascent soul stage was too late. If they can research psychic abilities in depth, they might be able to develop a method for cultivators to train the Divine Sense during the Qi cultivation stage.

“It’s not that the superpower users are weak, but these few people are weak. I’ve found several powerful superpower users using Divine Sense.”

“How powerful?”

“Their spells can compete with a Divinity Transformation stage cultivator.”

“… Are you sure you’re not being too generous with your definition of powerful?”

“I can’t very well say that only those stronger than me are considered powerful.”

“I get the feeling that you’re showing off.”

“I’m just stating the facts.”

While the two men conversed using their Divine Sense, they casually cast a strengthening spell on Peng Lianghai.

Peng Lianghai felt a surge of strength welling up in his body. He didn’t think too much about it and believed it to be an unusual burst of energy. He pushed off the ground energetically, jumping more than thirty meters. He soon caught up with the cultist.

The cultist’s body wasn’t strong, and being caught by Peng Lianghai meant he had no choice but to withstand a beating.

“It’s you?” Shao Junyi and her teammates caught up and were surprised to find that the person who had helped them was Peng Lianghai.

Shao Junyi pulled out a needle and injected it into the cultist. The cultist immediately lost all strength and slumped to the ground.

The other ability users tied him up and carted him off.

“It seems you have high resistance to illusions. I can’t believe my illusion didn’t affect you.”

The people who become super ability users can always resist illusions to some extent, differing only in degree.

Shao Junyi assumed that Peng Lianghai had a high resistance.

“Lianghai, you run so fast.” Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu arrived late, just wanting to introduce themselves.

“Who are these two?” Shao Junyi was taken aback. Ordinary people shouldn’t be able to see her. Who were these two, she hadn’t seen them when she was investigating Peng Hailiang.

“These are my friends. This is Jiang Li, his ability is being invincible, and this is Bai Hongtu, his ability is immortal cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Junyi knew that these two were not formally trained and had randomly named their abilities.

She scoffed at the thought of an ‘invincible’ ability. Even if it were really invincible, could it blow up stars?
