“Superpower? What superpower? Show us!”

Zhou Jie became excited after hearing Xu Zhaoyang’s words.

He was a firm supporter of the theory regarding spiritual energy rejuvenation.

“Haha, watch me!”

Xu Zhaoyang smiled proudly, straightened his neck, and started ‘marinating’ his powers in place. He seemed more like he was suffering constipation.

After that…nothing happened despite straining his neck for over ten seconds.

“Pfft! It was a trick after all and I nearly fell for it. Be honest and hand over your martial arts manuscript.”

Zhou Jie and the others booed Xu Zhaoyang, surrounding him with frivolous smiles on their faces.

“I just haven’t found the right moment to do it. Didn’t I just experience an awakening? I haven’t learnt to control it. Let me try again.”

Trying to defend himself, Xu Zhaoyang tried again. However, the same thing happened. He strained himself for some time and stomped his leg on the ground but nothing happened. Instead, his leg began hurting.

“Fine, we understand that you can’t pass on the martial arts skills you’ve learnt. Stop messing around with the superhuman story.”

Lin Yu felt helpless as he stopped Xu Zhaoyang from trying again. At the same time, to make it less awkward for the idiot and to distract the group, Lin Yu started walking.

Zhou Jie, Wang Miao, and the others began booing again. They all followed after seeing Lin Yu walk away.

“Don’t say that, I wasn’t lying. I’m telling the truth!”

Xu Zhaoyang rushed to follow the group and continued to mumble, “It was a superpower! I seriously think that a rejuvenation of spiritual energy is happening.”

“Stop, rather than thinking about unrealistic things like superpowers and a spiritual energy rejuvenation, why don’t you think about how you’re going to graduate or surpass my followers’ count?”

Lin Yu dampened the enthusiasm of an excited Xu Zhaoyang. If he was allowed to continue talking, he might end up being sliced up one day.

“Certificates and followers are useless to me. Superpowers are more important now, and your Elder Brother will protect you all from now on.”

Xu Zhaoyang seemed like he was not bothered. However, after being ignored for some time, he stopped talking and snapped out of the excitement, becoming silent and no longer mentioning anything about superpowers.

Not long after that, however, rapid footsteps could be heard from behind them.

“Stop!”

“Stop! Don’t run!”

Lin Yu and the group turned around upon hearing the shouts and rapid footsteps.

The ones shouting were the security guards from the supermarket. The men ran and panted while wielding their plastic batons.

Their target was the skinny middle-aged man who had been caught just now.

The security guards were obviously no match for the man’s physique. Many of them trailed behind during the chase.

“Master!”

“Master, stop him!”

Upon seeing Xu Zhaoyang, the guards’ eyes lit up and shouted for him.

“It’s you!”

The skinny middle-aged man spotted Xu Zhaoyang as he came near the group.

The enemies had bumped into each other. The skinny man shouted…and rubbed shoulders with the group as he continued to run.

Xu Zhaoyang did hear the shouts from the guards but his previous encounter with the skinny middle-aged man only happened under helpless circumstances. Although he had awakened his superpowers accidentally, he still failed to channel it and no longer dared to stop the skinny middle-aged man. He could only pretend that he did not hear the guards and could not react fast enough, letting the skinny middle-aged man run off as he disappeared from the corner of the street.

“Mas… Master, why didn’t you stop him!”

“F*ck, the boy ran too fast!”

After seeing the skinny middle-aged man disappear from the street corner, the supermarket’s guards stopped themselves and panted with their hands on their knees.

However, soon after that, the skinny middle-aged man emerged from the street corner and ran back to the crowd.

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

The skinny middle-aged man was obviously more anxious and nervous this time around. He seemed terrified and was running aimlessly. Seeing that people were blocking his way, his panic turned into desperation.

It seemed as if something terrifying was coming for him. He was not slowing down, and it seemed as if his mind was blank. He waved his hands around with a twisted expression, screaming at people to get out of his way as he charged toward Lin Yu and the group.

“Get lost! Are you looking for a fight?”

Judging from the man’s face, Xu Zhaoyang could sense that something was wrong. He did not have much time given that his group was pretty near the street corner. He could only scream at the skinny middle-aged man, hoping that it could scare him.

However, the skinny middle-aged man was desperate, and it was impossible to scare him. His expression was twisted as he picked up his speed; it was apparent that he wanted to charge into the crowd.

“Damn it!”

Xu Zhaoyang was a little terrified of how the skinny middle-aged man looked. However, he was loyal to his friends and became determined to defend his friends, praying that he could channel his superpower in such crucial times as he kicked his leg out.

“I’m finished!”

Xu Zhaoyang could tell that something was wrong the moment his leg was out.

His leg did not feel like it was full of strength at all. On the contrary, it felt a little weak from the shock and he began to stumble from standing on one leg.

“Ah!!”

Everything happened within the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Wang Miao, Li Hui, and the girls began screaming in a delayed reaction.

Xu Zhaoyang shivered upon hearing the girls scream. His left leg became weak, and he fell backward before even hitting the skinny middle-aged man.

The skinny middle-aged man was near, and his rubber shoe was closing in on Xu Zhaoyang’s face.

“That’s it.”

Xu Zhaoyang shut his eyes out of reflex and felt bitter.

Bang!

A loud noise could be heard, and it seemed as if there were also sounds of sneezes and metallic friction.

“Hm? I’m not feeling pain? Do I have absolute defence?”

2Xu Zhaoyang was stunned as he did not feel the pain he was expecting on his face and opened his eyes slowly in doubt.

He saw a black strap before anything else, and after focusing his gaze, saw that it was a big black backpack.

However, there was a huge hole at the bottom of the black backpack. A metal fist came out of the hole, and it was easy to imagine that this giant metal fist had just come in contact with the skinny middle-aged man.

Xu Zhaoyang was familiar with these two things… It was the backpack of his roommate Lin Yu, and the fist was from the Exo suit Lin Yu had made!
