Chapter 088 Chapter 88 Superpowers

Chapter 088 Chapter 88 Superpowers

Tang Ming was not looking for trouble, nor was he unwilling to accept being defeated by An Qing. Instead, he just felt a very familiar force.

He was an ice-type mutant in his previous life. He had tried many methods during this period, but he didn't feel the familiar ice energy. But just now, he clearly felt the fluctuation of the mutant power. It was very weak, but it did exist.

Tang Ming didn't know the principle behind this, but his intuition told him to continue.

Seeing An Qing looking at him as if he was a fool, Tang Ming opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain but also not wanting to give up the opportunity to awaken his superpowers.

He smiled helplessly: "An Qing, believe me, my brain is not broken."

An Qing felt that this didn't look like a person with a normal brain.

But Tang Ming was very serious. After hesitating for a while, An Qing finally agreed.

Tang Ming cleaned the blood from the corner of his mouth and got ready.

This time, An Qing was careful to restrain her strength. As the two of them fought back and forth, it seemed as if no one could tell who would win.

Tang Ming's previous feeling disappeared, and he was a little confused. "An Qing, use all your strength."

An Qing: "..."

She looked at Tang Ming with a puzzled expression, not knowing what to say. She simply stopped and said, "Alright, that's all for today. Let's go back."

Tang Ming was stunned.

He quickly followed: "No, I don't mean to be abused, it's just that when I was fighting with you before, I felt a sense of power."

An Qing stopped and looked at Tang Ming in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Tang Ming was reluctant to talk about his past life, so he said vaguely, "I can't really explain it, but I feel like if I continue in the state I was in, I should be able to break through."

Breaking through what? Breaking through his limits?

An Qing was confused. "001, do you know what's going on with Tang Ming?"

001's voice came from the system: "I don't know."

An Qing looked at Tang Ming for a moment, hesitantly asking, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Tang Ming nodded: "Really."

An Qing: "Okay, let's try again. If it doesn't work, stop immediately."

Tang Ming smiled and said, "Okay."

The two of them spoke in a very low voice, so Mu Chen didn't hear them. He only saw An Qing was about to leave, but soon the two started fighting again. This time, An Qing's force was obviously heavier and more brutal, and she was more merciless than the first time.

After a while, Tang Ming was thrown heavily to the ground.

But soon, he stood up again and said, "Continue."

Bang--

Bang--

Bang--

Bodies were repeatedly smashed to the ground, and the sound of hammering against the wall echoed. Even Muchen felt a little frightened. What was going on? Were these two people crazy?

Not to mention Muchen, even An Qing felt a little uneasy.

Seeing Tang Ming flying out again and again and his body colliding with the wall and the ground, her heart would skip a beat and she felt a little nervous. She knew her own strength, not to mention that Tang Ming's clothes were all stained red by the blood flowing out of his nose and mouth.

Seeing Tang Ming fall out again, An Qing approached him with some worry. She didn't dare to reach out to help him up. She looked down at Tang Ming and said, "How are you? Are you okay? Or maybe you should just forget it. In fact, it's possible that you're wrong."

She even suspected that Tang Ming's head was injured when he hit the wall for the first time.

Tang Ming lay on the ground, his chest heaving, his breathing heavy. Besides the overflowing blood, there were also large beads of sweat rolling down.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth, a big smile appeared on his face, and his dark eyes were as bright as stars.

He lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, looking at An Qing with a bright smile: "Success."

An Qing was stunned.

This was the first time she saw Tang Ming smile like this. His smile was always gentle, like the jade-like young master described in ancient romance novels. Even when he was helpless, his smile was shallow and gentle.

It is hard to imagine such a brilliant smile appearing on his face.

But that's how he smiled at this moment, even though he was in a mess and half of his face was covered in blood.

An Qing pursed her lips and held out her hand: "Get up if you succeed."

Tang Ming hummed, held An Qing's hand tightly, and used her strength to get up from the ground.

An Qing looked at Tang Ming for a moment with some curiosity, but she couldn't see any difference between him now and before. However, when she thought about the fact that there was not much change on her face after taking the Body Tempering Spirit Liquid, she was afraid that even if Tang Ming had broken through the limit of his physical fitness, it would not be noticeable.

Tang Ming squeezed her hand imperceptibly.

An Qing looked down at her hands, then looked at Tang Ming. Was he telling her to go back and talk later?

In fact, she had no intention of asking him.

But since he wanted to say it, she still wanted to know. After all, it was too unbelievable that one could break through the limit of physical fitness by being beaten half to death.

If it were really that simple, then why would so many people in this base have experienced serious injuries and near-death situations, yet still been unable to break through their physical limits?

Of course, it is also possible that Tang Ming has eaten a lot of food made with pots produced by the system during this period.

But Tang Ming gestured for her to go back and talk about it, as if he was on guard against Mu Chen, which made her feel that it might not be that simple.

On the way back, An Qing asked Mu Chen to go to the restaurant to pick out some ingredients, and she and Tang Ming went home together first.

After returning home, Tang Ming carefully checked his surroundings. Then, without waiting for An Qing to ask, he walked up to her and stretched out his right hand.

An Qing was a little confused, hesitating whether to give her hand to him. The next moment, she was shocked to see a layer of frost slowly condensing on Tang Ming's palm.

She widened her eyes and looked at Tang Ming in surprise: "You are..."

Tang Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have awakened my superpowers, ice-type superpowers."

An Qing: "..."

The look in her eyes when she looked at Tang Ming became extremely complicated. There were actually superpowers in this world. Moreover, the first person to awaken superpowers was not her, a time traveler with a golden finger, but him, a native.

Although An Qing felt that Tang Ming's identity as a native was very suspicious.

Tang Ming tried to condense the frost on his hand into shape: "Although my current ability level is still very low and I can't even condense a piece of ice blade, but after awakening my ability, my physique will be stronger than that of an ordinary person."

To be precise, the better and stronger a person's physique is before awakening his superpowers, the stronger his physique will be than that of ordinary superpower users after awakening his superpowers.

In this life, he had undergone rigorous training at the base since he was a child, and his physique was already at its peak. In addition, with the food that An Qing provided that could enhance his physique, he could feel that after awakening his superpowers, he was much stronger than when he had just awakened his superpowers in his previous life.

An Qing: "..."

She continues to doubt her life.

Tang Ming finally realized that An Qing was in a daze. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "An Qing?"

An Qing came back to her senses, "So, if you're beaten half to death, you can awaken your superpowers?"

Should she give it a try? But thinking about Tang Ming's miserable appearance just now, which seemed to be in a lot of pain, was it really worthwhile to awaken his superpowers like this?

Tang Ming: “…”

He laughed: "Of course not..."

"Actually, I don't know either. I've tried many times before, but there were no signs of awakening my superpowers. But this time..." His eyes fell on An Qing, and he couldn't help but think more, "Maybe my awakening of superpowers is related to you."

An Qing was puzzled: "Me?"

Tang Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to try awakening your special abilities?"

An Qing's scalp suddenly went numb, her body leaned back, and her steps followed backwards: "How did you awaken?"

Tang Ming: "It's not like what I did just now. I know a set of meditation methods that may be able to stimulate supernatural powers."

An Qing breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while. She looked at the ice needle condensed in Tang Ming's palm. It was a very thin and small needle. She reached out and touched it. It was icy cold. It was indeed condensed from ice.

Who among those who read novels has not fantasized about becoming a person with super powers?

If she could awaken without being beaten half to death, An Qing felt that she could still give it a try.

"Then let me give it a try?" An Qing looked at the ice needle condensed in his hand with envy, her eyes eager to try.

Tang Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come to your room to see you later. Mu Chen should be back by now."

An Qing nodded.

After a while, Mu Chen came back as expected.

Holding a piece of braised snake meat in his hand, he said, "Base Commander, the restaurant said they've run out of pork today. This braised snake meat looked dry, so I brought a piece back."

An Qing nodded: "Sure, we can have snake meat and cabbage fried tonight."

I don't know if it tastes good, but I can give it a try.

As before, dilute a drop of toxin decomposition liquid with clean water, then soak the sauce-flavored snake meat. After soaking for enough time, take it out and slice it, heat oil in a pan and stir-fry, then add cabbage.

Each cabbage is very big, and An Qing only broke off half of the cabbage to stir-fry. Even so, the fried snake meat and cabbage dish that came out of the pot was a very large bowl.

An Qing used the system's rice cooker to steam a pot of rice, and the three of them ate it with snake meat and cabbage.

It’s true, although the black snake is so big, the meat is not rough. Even after being dried and fried, the meat is very delicate, a bit like the taste of eel, but with a bit more toughness.

Because the snake meat was marinated, An Qing did not add any other seasonings when stir-frying the cabbage, but the stir-fried cabbage already had flavor.

The sweetness of the cabbage blends with the snake meat. The cabbage has the aroma of the sauced snake meat, and the snake meat has some of the sweetness of the cabbage. It tastes delicious and goes well with rice.

After Tang Ming awakened his special powers, his appetite obviously increased. The three of them ate up the fried snake meat with cabbage and a large pot of rice without leaving any leftovers.

After dinner, it was Tang Ming and Muchen's job to wash the dishes and pots. An Qing took a walk in the living room for a while to digest the food and then returned to her room.

However, she was thinking about her super powers and had no desire to sleep at all.

After washing up and changing her clothes, An Qing waited in bed bored.

"001, is there anything in the system that can awaken superpowers?" An Qing couldn't help but ask.

001 appeared beside An Qing and flicked his tail. "I don't know, but I don't think so..."

An Qing was a little disappointed and sighed, "By the way, Tang Ming said that his awakening of superpowers might be because of me. Do you know why?"

001 was also a little puzzled: "I don't know either. Could it be because you took the Body Tempering Spiritual Liquid? But you've already absorbed that spiritual liquid... Could it be that you didn't absorb it completely, so when you were sparring with Tang Ming, the aura of the spiritual liquid leaked out and was absorbed by him?"

An Qing: "...If you don't know, how should I know? But this is too ridiculous, right? If that's the case, then Muchen and I have practiced it before."

001: "Maybe you held back too much when you were practicing with Muchen?"

An Qing couldn't help but ponder, it seemed to be true?
