The Dead Boy Mother

Investing his whole being to sense the superpowers, he successfully located the key.

He could materialize corresponding superpowers and energy based on what he imagined his enemies to have, which was equivalent to a one-time superpower experience card.

The criteria for determining whether it was an enemy was if the intelligent being harbored strong killing intent toward him.

Mirror Ghosts and Resentful Ghosts didn't even have killing intent because they were so fearful, so naturally they could not activate superpowers either.

Since they wanted to kill him, why not take them out if he had the power, rather than wait for a next time?

What if something went wrong and he no longer had his fruit juice to drink?

Aside from the one-time experience cards enemies gave him, there was another way to permanently increase his strength.

That was when intelligent beings deemed his strength greater than his actual strength, the more people acknowledged this, the faster it would help him break through to that perceived strength level.

Lastly, for superpowers, as long as he had used a superpower before, he could use it again when he possessed sufficient superpower energy.

Although this journey was less than satisfactory, in the end, he still accomplished his goal.

Qi Yuan's originally awful mood instantly turned sunny and thriving.

He tried his best to calm himself down so as not to leak his true strength.

How could a true powerhouse feel smug just because he stepped on an ant?

As he expected, his performance caused Meow Meow Rabbit's livestream chat to erupt in a barrage of bullet comments.

[Holy crap, this is something I can watch without paying!]

[I'm really curious what that lizardman guessed? It wasn't light-based superpowers right? Since they still needed to guess?]

[Obviously not, otherwise why would they need to guess?]

[Are there any experts from the science section around?]

[I've already recorded the video and posted it on DouYin, just waiting for a knowledgeable person to reply now.]

[No one noticed that killing Class B and Class C seemed the same to him, could he be Class A?]

The on-site audience was more restrained than the bullet comments, the expedition team members pinched themselves when their opponent was suddenly AOEd, gritting their teeth in pain to confirm they weren't dreaming.

They didn't really understand the expert's thought process, having such strength yet not revealing it earlier.

Liu Ying seemed to see through what the team members were thinking and spoke her thoughts aloud.

"He probably wanted to temper our abilities. Didn't you notice? He really likes teaching and educating, he didn't even let the monsters off."

The team members thought back to the videos and the earlier conversation, then looked again at Zhuang Heng.

Zhuang Heng thought for a bit, then nodded in agreement with Liu Ying's view.

Through Meow Meow Rabbit he found out that Qi Yuan had been watching their battles the entire time, which he still didn't understand, why didn't he just help them directly?

But now all these doubts were explained by Liu Ying's perspective.

Pang Shuo stood in place scratching his head, full of question marks.

"Weren't you no match against it?"

After he spoke, he felt like his question was stupid, and awkwardly rubbed his nose.

"If you could beat it, why didn't you say so earlier and I wouldn't have called for backup."

I remember you called for backup before encountering me, right?

Qi Yuan was speechless, indicating he was not going to take responsibility for this at all.

The three Class B superhumans called for backup finally arrived late, Pang Shuo hurriedly went to explain.

A moment later, the two Class B superhumans from the Superpower Association sat to one side with dark expressions, waiting for the complete fusion to end.

Cheng Yizhou, also an official expedition team member, sat cross-legged next to Lin Cang.

"I heard you lost because you tripped and fell, when did you switch careers to being a comedian?"

"Tsk, it must've been that big mouth Pang Shuo?"

Knowing Pang Shuo saw it, Lin Cang knew the matter would spread, but still maintained a decent attitude.

"So it's true?"

Cheng Yizhou repeated in disbelief.

"True."

"False."

The easygoing Qi Yuan was also happy to help clear Lin Cang's grievance. "The lizardman used spatial movement to shift the tile under your foot, that's why you tripped."

Hearing Qi Yuan's explanation, Lin Cang recalled that he had looked at the ground before stepping into empty space.

He asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

Qi Yuan did not reply to him.

He was bold enough to turn on his mic because whether he replied to Lin Cang or not, it was unimportant.

Lin Cang also didn't really care, it was just an idle question, he wouldn't dig deeper if it involved superpower secrets.

After a brief rest, the expedition team swept through the fusion zone, clearing out the remaining monsters before complete fusion.

Qi Yuan, who had been on the edge of danger this whole time, finally remembered his companions.

"Bro Qi, you completely forgot about us right?"

Shi Jianwen's adventurous experience had yielded unexpected gains, but he resented the complete lack of appearance of this gold master thigh.

The three of them had moved together when the fusion zone descended, and soon after met the lone Zhao Zhen.

The four found a room and quietly waited for the complete fusion to end.

They had worried Qi Yuan alone might encounter danger, until the local hot search popped up.

#What is this superpower#

Clicking the link brought up Qi Yuan's face, leaving the four speechless after watching.

Tracing back along the grapevine, they found the video's origin. Shi Jianwen said he had ample evidence to condemn Qi Yuan.

The unreasonable Qi Yuan kept silent.

He looked around with his eyes for the mom-like figure, hoping to be rescued.

Zhao Zhen curled his hulking body into the corner, completely ignoring any "so big" thoughts.

...Lost again.

Leaning his head against the wall, Zhao Zhen thought of the three-year plan he had devised, depressed again.

The class heartthrob since kindergarten, Zhao Zhen met the first rival of his life in high school - Qi Yuan.

Without any effort, Qi Yuan snatched away his title of class heartthrob.

He thought by switching to the combat department, he wouldn't have to face Qi Yuan again, but never expected the confession from his crush.

"Oh Zhao Zhen, is he handsome? After seeing Qi Yuan, I feel other guys all look the same."

Since then, Zhao Zhen channeled his indignation into strength, madly training, hoping to rely on his physique to gain an advantage over the pretty boy Qi Yuan.

However, the fulfilled him did not know one true maxim - appropriate fitness attracts the opposite sex, excessive fitness attracts the same sex.

Engrossed in the sense of accomplishment from working out, unknowingly Zhao Zhen built up a body of ripped muscles and opened the door to his new world.

Not only was he rejected again by his crush, he gained a good person card and kept receiving confessions from the same sex.

After thinking it through, the one who brought all this about was none other than Qi Yuan!

Having realized all this, Zhao Zhen once secretly swore an oath to make Qi Yuan suffer.

Yet today, Qi Yuan did not suffer, but Zhao Zhen did.

Damn it!

Such a huge disparity, was there any point continuing?

If he tried to improve his strength through building up his body again, he would get more confessions from the same sex.

Most importantly, he had mocked Qi Yuan!!!

Just thinking about his previous behavior, he didn't dare face his social death and went to face the wall.

Looks like he couldn't count on the mom figure, Qi Yuan sighed and shook his head.

"What's wrong with him?"

Qi Yuan casually evaded Shi Jianwen's condemnatory gaze and pointed at Zhao Zhen with his thumb.

Jiang Wenyin helplessly spread her hands: "Don't know, he's been like that since just now. It's better now, at first he kept banging his head on the wall."

Ren Yang played on her phone nonchalantly and said: "It's fine, he's often like this. Whenever he thinks of something embarrassing, he'll bang his head on the wall."

Qi Yuan, Jiang Wenyin and Shi Jianwen: ....Did you just bring up another embarrassing topic for him?

Bang bang bang...

Zhao Zhen in the corner, who had just stopped banging his head not long ago, started a new round of head banging.
