Chapter 206 Make Him Your Attendant
Rong Muchen was going all out and took off his clothes in front of everyone, ready to show off his superpowers, but it immediately drew laughter from the crowd.
"Spare ribs, frog belly, how dare he show off his physique?"
"This is so offensive! Doesn't they have any mirrors?"
"He's really gone all out. Is there no one left in this world he cares about?"
"..."
Rong Muchen was somewhat aware that his physique wasn't up to par, but so what? He didn't need to use his looks to please anyone; as long as he was strong enough, who would dare to mock him?
Rong Muchen was also secretly holding back his strength. Suddenly, he gathered his power and a strange aura emanated from his body, causing the clothes of the people who were close to him to move without any wind.
Everyone sensed something and suddenly fell silent. The entire stadium was completely quiet except for Rong Muchen's heavy breathing.
Lin Muyan's brow twitched, and she looked at Rong Muchen with some surprise.
It's only been a few days, but this guy does seem to have gotten a bit stronger.
Perhaps it shouldn't be said that he became stronger, but rather that his proficiency with his superpowers improved, and his aura completely changed.
The next second, a huge tortoise shell appeared on Rong Muchen's back.
The glossy shell of the tortoise blended almost seamlessly with Rong Muchen, surprising Lin Muyan once again.
When those turtle shells first appeared, she felt a little nauseous, but now she doesn't feel that way anymore, though she still finds them somewhat comical.
The giant turtle shell, resembling Master Roshi's, left everyone stunned.
The two examining officers immediately asked the question that had been on their minds in unison:
"Is this a defensive type of ability?"
Rong Muchen looked arrogant and didn't bother to answer, instead continuing to exert his strength.
This time, his entire arm was covered in sharp barbs. The sound of the barbs rubbing against each other as he swung his arms was so loud it made people's teeth ache and their hearts race, and they couldn't help but back away.
The officers conducting the assessment stared wide-eyed at each other in bewilderment.
"This is an offensive type. This kid possesses two different types of superpowers all by himself. He's a real talent!"
One of the examiners was about to tick Rong Muchen's information sheet, but the other frowned and stopped him.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask him a few questions."
At this moment, those who had previously mocked Rong Muchen fell silent.
Since most people had never personally witnessed an awakened individual display their abilities, they were inevitably taken aback when they saw Rong Muchen unleash his power.
Lin Muyan pursed her lips, thinking to herself that although he hadn't been humiliated too much this time, she still felt that his superpower was quite ordinary.
This feeling is indescribable, just like what the comments said.
There should be a hierarchy of power among those with different abilities, and all awakened individuals should be able to sense the strength of each other's abilities.
If Rong Muchen had paid any more attention or thought things through carefully, he should have been able to sense the difference in Lin Muyan's aura. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant, thinking he was the only one in the world special who had awakened both offensive and defensive abilities.
Rong Muchen withdrew what he considered to be supernatural abilities. After a series of actions, he was already exhausted and drenched in sweat.
He hurriedly put on his clothes, then put on an arrogant air.
Shen Jiaojiao, who was ranked near the bottom, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw this.
"What's so great about him? He's already exhausted after just a short demonstration. If he were on the battlefield, how many could he kill? He'd be lucky if he didn't lose his own life."
Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement upon hearing this, while repeatedly expressing her disgust at Rong Muchen's physique, which even a dog would shake its head at.
"Jiaojiao, it's a good thing you broke up with him. That man was really no good. I'm embarrassed to say I know him."
Shen Jiaojiao couldn't agree more, but this drew Shen Shiqiu's displeasure.
"What do you know? What era are we living in, and you're still only concerned with these superficial things!"
"Jiaojiao, you need to think long-term. What good is a man's good looks? He needs to have strength. Besides, your special ability needs a strong person to protect you at all times. Although I don't like some of the things that Rong family boy does, he can be considered as a backup option."
Shen Jiaojiao frowned and looked at Xiao Li on the high platform.
Her father told her to keep Rong Muchen as a backup option? But she really couldn't bring herself to do it. Even if she was just keeping him as a backup, he had to be decent enough, right?
Shen Shiqiu spoke with a serious expression.
"Jiaojiao, don't be silly. This is the end of the world. What's most important? It's strength. Only with strength can you survive and obtain supplies. I'm not suggesting that you actually have anything happen between you and him, but you can keep him hanging on."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mrs. Shen also realized what was happening and whispered in Shen Jiaojiao's ear:
"Jiaojiao, listen to your mother. You must find a way to keep Rong Shao by your side. Although his superpower looks disgusting, it does have some effect. If you can use your charm to make him your devoted subject and obey your every word, doesn't that sound great?"
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Jiaojiao quickly understood her parents' meaning.
Yes, it's one thing for her to be annoyed by Rong Muchen, but that doesn't conflict with her ability to control him and make him work for her.
Moreover, this is a man who had a past relationship with Lin Muyan. Just thinking about being able to manipulate him would be exciting.

"Rong Muchen, right? We've already seen your special abilities. I'm going to ask you a few questions now, and you must answer them truthfully."
Rong Muchen raised his chin: "Ask away."
The examiner frowned slightly; the other person's attitude was rather perplexing, but he still patiently continued:
"If your captain ordered you to sacrifice your life to protect the people, would you obey or resist the mission?"
Rong Muchen replied impatiently:
"Your question is completely invalid, because how could I possibly just be an ordinary member? Shouldn't someone like me be the captain from the start?"
These words once again drew disdain from those around him.
"No, is he serious or is he just playing around? Being a team leader isn't just about having combat skills. If there were someone like that in my team, I would definitely stay far away from him."
"This is no longer just a troublemaker in the recruit camp. This kid is simply outrageous. His arrogance doesn't seem fake; he really does look down on everyone."
"So what if he awakened a superpower that can both attack and defend? Is he really that arrogant? Compared to the Fire Girl, he's utterly weak, okay?"
The two examiners were also surprised by Rong Muchen's arrogance. Others would try to be as positive as possible when answering questions in order to pass the test, but he was different.
"Alright, your assessment is over. Go back and wait for further notice."
Rong Muchen smiled slightly and waved confidently at Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment and then gave him a thumbs up.
How dare you spout such nonsense during an assessment? You're something else...
