With a "whoosh," the crystal coin turned to ash.
This time it was even faster than last time!
It probably only takes about 3 seconds, just a blink of an eye.
Some people just blinked and missed it, and then they rubbed their eyes hard.
It was a crystal coin just a moment ago, how did it turn to ash all of a sudden?
While everyone was still in a daze, Xin Sui kindly asked, "Does it still feel a bit unreal? Then I'll continue to demonstrate for you."
One after another.
The ash-turned crystal powder fell softly at her feet, forming a small white mark.
When she finished absorbing the fifth crystal coin, everyone finally realized what was happening.
The head of the Li family coughed, stopping Xin Sui from continuing to fleece him.
"As everyone has seen, Shirley has indeed awakened a superpower, and her talent is exceptionally high. She is arguably the first person in the history of the Li family to achieve this!"
The uncles and elders gave him a round of enthusiastic applause.
The Li family has a promising future!
Although Shirley wasn't their own child, she was surnamed Li. If the Li family prospered, wouldn't they, as members of their clan, also benefit?
"What are you all standing there for? Clap your hands! Aren't you happy?"
"Hehe, I'm happy, how could I not be happy?"
When the head of the Li family glanced at her, Li Beibei had no choice but to clap her hands with a stiff face.
It felt like the photo was of my own face.
Xin Sui: "The test is over, can I leave now?"
Li Family Head: "Wait a moment, come here with your father."
Once in the next room, the Li family head quietly asked, "Shirley, what superpower have you awakened?"
As the head of the family, he needed to figure out what special abilities each family member had awakened, so that he could coordinate and manage them in case of an emergency.
Xin Sui thought for a moment: "Speed type."
Three nights ago, she died six times.
The first time, speed increases by 2 after reviving.
The next five times, combined, increase defense by 6 and recovery by 4.
In other words, although her immortality ability has only reached the first star of the Lesser Star Realm, her speed, defense, and recovery ability have reached the strength levels of the second, sixth, and fourth stars, respectively.
Among those with similar abilities, those who are better at fighting are not as fast as her, and those who are faster than her cannot break through her defenses.
Even if she encounters a chosen one who combines attack and speed, someone who can both catch up with her and break through her defenses, her healing ability makes her invincible.
It can be said that among superhumans of the same level, she is the most awesome.
Of these three superpowers, speed is the most low-key, so impersonating a speed-type ability is the most suitable and there's no fear of being exposed.
As for the true power of immortality, that's something that can't be revealed to anyone.
The Li family head nodded: "Oh, speed-type."
He nodded halfway, then frowned, looking somewhat disappointed.
"Speed-based... it's alright. Before the apocalypse, there was a saying: 'In martial arts, speed is the only thing that can't be broken.' When your speed reaches its limit, no one can do anything to you. You can attack or defend, and if you can't win, you can run away."
The father and daughter came out of the room and returned to the lobby.
Everyone looked expectantly at the head of the Li family, hoping to find out from him what kind of superpower "Li Xueli" had awakened.
However, the head of the Li family would not tell them.
Superpowers are most powerful before they are used.
Only by keeping secrets can we catch people off guard.
Ignoring the pleading looks from the group of clansmen, the Li family head handed Xin Sui a small cloth bag.
"Shirley, there are 20 crystal coins in here, which is your cultivation allowance for this month. You must be tired, so go back and get some rest. You can cultivate better if you are well rested."
Xin Sui took the small cloth bag, nodded, and turned to leave.
Li Beibei's dissatisfied complaint came from behind: "Dad, I only get 5 crystal coins a month, why does Li Xueli get 20?"
Patriarch Li: "Just because her superpowers are stronger than yours, and her talent is better than yours! When she grows up, the Li family can rely on her, and maybe we can go even further. And you? What use is your enhanced sense of smell?"
The Li family head's words were heartbreaking, and Li Beibei burst into tears on the spot.
She stubbornly wiped away her tears and ran away.
Ignoring her, the Li family head addressed the others in a deep voice, "What are you all standing there for? Come in and take the test! Wait for me to invite you!"
Xin Sui returned to her room, lay down on the bed, and emptied the crystal coins from the small bag to count them.
However, they discovered that the quantity was incorrect.
It's not that there's less, it's that there's more.
There were 10 more coins than the 20 coins that the head of the Li family had mentioned.
It's unlikely to be a mistake; it's probably a secret subsidy from the Li family head to this "new generation genius of the Li family."
Those with talent receive better treatment, while those with poor talent or even those who haven't awakened their potential are ignored.
That's how realistic the apocalypse is.
Strength reigns supreme; might makes right.
In fact, this applies not only to the apocalypse but also to the modern world.
The modern world is simply more "civilized," while the apocalypse is more straightforward and barbaric.
Xin Sui found the original owner's private stash of money and discovered that there were only 8 crystal coins and 230 crystal beans.
1 Crystal Coin = 100 Crystal Beans.
Crystal coins were equivalent to silver in ancient times, while crystal beans were equivalent to copper coins, the latter actually being used more frequently in daily life.
Crystal coins are only circulated among people with superpowers or the wealthy.
At her cultivation speed, she could absorb all those crystals in less than half an hour.
What happens after you finish inhaling?
Xin Sui took out the spatial ring that Xuan Tu had left behind and probed into it with his consciousness.
Although I've watched it several times, I'm still amazed by the grand scale of Xuan Tu every time.
There were several boxes of cultivation potions, each worth hundreds of crystal coins.
