“This is…”
“Psychokinesis!”
The corners of Chu Zixuan’s mouth lifted into a wide grin. Even though he made an effort to hide his emotion, he just couldn’t do it.
“I have a supernatural power now!” He said, waving his hand and making the bottle cap float up again. “I’ve actually awakened my supernatural power!”
Du Gang was surprised. Earlier, he wasn’t too mindful when Chu Zixuan volunteered to be a test subject since missing out on one or two energy points from the crystal wasn’t much to him.
He didn’t expect Chu Zixuan to have truly awakened his supernatural power. Not only that, but his supernatural power also looked like the type of psychokinesis that was commonly seen in movies!
“This supernatural power of yours—what can you do apart from making things float?”
After hearing Du Gang’s words, Chu Zixuan immediately reached his arm out to catch the floating bottle cap and experimented.
He slowly closed his eyes and less than three seconds later, he opened his eyes again. The corners of his mouth raised into a smile as he said: “I can use my spiritual power to see the surroundings!”
Spiritual power!
Du Gang had read the novel “Infinite Terror” and knew what spiritual powers were. He asked in some excitement: “How far can you scan?”
“100 meters in a straight line and 10 meters in a square; doesn’t seem very powerful!”
“It’s enough for now. It should be able to become stronger!”
It was considered decent for him to be able to scan so far away right after his awakening.
“Du Gang, are you guys done?!”
At that moment, An Ya’s voice sounded from outside.
The four of them waiting outside were afraid. The insect’s screeches had been gone for some time already and yet, there were no updates from Du Gang and Chu Zixuan. They were worried that something had happened to them.
Soon after, under their anticipative gaze, the two of them came out with a smile.
“What’s wrong?”
The four of them clearly saw the joy on their faces.
“It’s showtime!”
Du Gang yelled and stood to the side, revealing the ecstatic Chu Zixuan behind him.
The crowd immediately focused their attention on Chu Zixuan.
Then, what happened next shocked them.
A bottle cap floated beside Chu Zixuan and randomly moved about in midair.
“Is this magic?”
Ma Li opened his mouth wide, staring at this miraculous scene.
“Magic?” Du Gang laughed. “This is supernatural power!”
“What?!”
The crowd exclaimed, looking at him in disbelief.
“Chu Zixuan has awakened his supernatural power!”
Chu Zixuan nodded and smiled. “That’s right, we found a crystal in the insect’s skull…”
But suddenly, he flinched and lowered his voice before continuing: “I wanted to have a taste of it but ended up swallowing it by accident. That was when I awakened my supernatural power!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd put on a different expression.
Earlier, he had described how the insects devoured humans as if eating shrimp and made them vomit on the spot.
And now…
This guy is surely a sicko. He even dares to eat something from inside the insect…
The four of them exchanged glances, seeing the same thought from one another’s eyes.
After Chu Zixuan finished speaking, it was Du Gang’s turn to laugh. “Since Chu Zixuan has awakened his supernatural power, I reckon that you guys… should also be able to…”
In an instant, the four of them were thrilled.
“Oh my God, will I also awaken a supernatural power? Will I grow taller?”
Ma Li gazed at Du Gang with an excited look because it was all thanks to Du Gang’s supernatural power that he could transform into a giant.
“I don’t want to become a giant!”
An Ya shook her head as soon as she thought of that image where Du Gang became naked every time he transformed. She couldn’t imagine what it would be like when she awakened the same supernatural power.
Cao Yongyi and Ji Zhiwen also began to fantasize about the supernatural powers they desired.
“If I can awaken a supernatural power, I want the ability to teleport…”
“I want to fly. As long as I fly, the insects can’t bite me and I can go wherever I want to…”
Du Gang shook his head, interrupting their fantasies and saying bluntly: “All right, let’s go and not waste anymore time. We’ll talk about it after I obtain a few more crystals…”
At that moment, he paused and added: “But I’ll say this first. The next crystal will be absorbed by Ma Li, followed by An Ya, and then you two!”
He said with so much determination that there was no room for negotiation.
After all, he formed this team out of goodwill. If not, he would have left with Ma Li alone.
Cao Yongyi quickly spoke with a smile: “No problem. You call the shots!”
Ji Zhiwen also hurriedly said, “As long as I can awaken my supernatural power, anytime is fine!”
Seeing that they were all fine with it, Du Gang continued to lead the way.
After leaving this street, Chu Zixuan suddenly called out to the team.
“Wait, let me scan the area!”
He walked to the side of a row of stores and stared ahead.
Immediately after, he turned around and said to the crowd: ” 100 meters ahead, there are two insects in the stores!”
Du Gang nodded and chuckled: “Nice. This supernatural power of yours is really useful!”
The others also revealed envious looks, but they soon became exhilarated again.
“Chu Zixuan, hurry up and lead the way!”
…
In the expectation of the crowd, Du Gang killed the two insects and retrieved the crystals from their skulls.
Coming to the roadside, the four people had been waiting for a long time, staring at the red crystals in Du Gang’s hands, so much so that they were almost drooling!
“A total of two crystals. Ma Li, An Ya—you two first!” Du Gang said, handing the crystals in his hand to the two of them.
“How do I use it, Du Gang?!”
Although Ma Li had heard Chu Zixuan mention earlier that it was after swallowing the crystal that he awakened his supernatural power, he was still a little nervous.
“Swallow it!”
Ma Li looked at the nail-sized crystal in his hand and a strange thought cropped up in his mind.
What if it doesn’t digest in my stomach?
He shook his head and threw the ridiculous thought to the back of his head. He put the crystal into his mouth, gnashed his teeth, and swallowed it like he was consuming a lozenge.
On the other side, An Ya wasn’t as impulsive as he was. She wanted to see Ma Li’s situation before swallowing hers.
After Ma Li swallowed the crystal, he blinked his eyes at Du Gang and turned to Chu Zixuan.
A full quarter of an hour had gone before he couldn’t help but ask: “Is… something supposed to happen when I awaken my supernatural power? How am I going to know that I have awakened it?!”
“???”
Du Gang thought that Ma Li was muttering to himself and sensing his supernatural power. But to his surprise, Ma Li wasn’t awakened yet.
At that moment, Chu Zixuan said: “Not long after swallowing the crystal, I felt a strange energy flowing in my head and immediately after, I awakened my psychokinesis. In the moment of awakening, I knew how to use my supernatural power right away…”
“But why am I not feeling anything?” Ma Li asked anxiously. He had swallowed the crystal for some time, but there wasn’t any reaction at all.
“Do you want to try casting it?” Cao Yongyi suggested.
Du Gang nodded in agreement: “Yeah, give it a try. Maybe the supernatural power you awakened isn’t in your head…”
Chu Zixuan felt a response in his head probably because he had awakened psychokinesis, which was related to spiritual power.
Ma Li also agreed that it made sense. He cleared his throat and followed Du Gang’s example by shouting: “Transform!”
