Chapter 39



In the field, the golden thread completely broke through all the ice layers, and the broken ice flew everywhere. Everyone cursed and either lifted tables and chairs to block it, or used their supernatural powers to block it. For a moment, the spiritual energy in the room was running wild.

Guan Guan no longer had time to speak. It hurriedly absorbed the spiritual energy. If it didn't absorb it in time, the spiritual energy would soon dissipate between heaven and earth.

Lin Manze hid in a corner, and Lin Cheng advised her: "You go out first."

"No!" How could she miss such a rare opportunity?

Her eyes were fixed intently on the scene, never moving away, a mixture of curiosity and nervousness, as if she were watching some magical blockbuster. Lin Cheng shook his head secretly, thinking she was just a spectator, not caring about her life. But since this girl had been brought in for him, he simply stood by her side so he could act quickly.

Lin Man had no time to pay attention to him. The two men in the field each held up their own ice and hammer and collided with each other head-on. The hammer was sharp and fierce. Although the ice cone was also sharp and hard, it was brittle after all, and cracks were visible.

However, at the same time, the floor around the man with the hammer gradually froze, and the frost climbed up along his feet, to his knees, and to his thighs. In just a few breaths, the man's lower body was frozen.

Someone couldn't stand it anymore: "I say, you two, it's just an ordinary competition, is it necessary to make it so life-and-death?" As the man said this, he waved his hand, and a line of fire suddenly rose from the ground between the two of them, and the two of them suddenly fell backwards.

The fire circled around the frozen man's legs again, and the ice melted, turning into wisps of mist and disappearing, and the flames gradually dissipated.

The room, which had already dropped several degrees, suddenly became warm.

Lin Man looked at the faint gases like mist and white smoke after the ice and fire dissipated. He seemed to see them coming towards him and being absorbed by his right hand, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She vaguely understood that the mist was spiritual energy. Because it was quite dense, she could see it. It was like a pipe, which was entirely condensed by spiritual energy. Although she could not feel the spiritual energy, she could see it clearly and even touch it.

In other words, when the density of spiritual energy reaches a certain level, you can see it yourself.

The spiritual energy that overflowed after the flames dissipated was obviously richer than that of ice and hammer, indicating that the one using fire was more powerful.

But isn't it said that people with special abilities are gradually becoming weaker these days? Why don't these three seem weak at all? They still look very strong.

Lin Man looked at the person with fire ability. He was a middle-aged man with a round belly. He looked very honest. It was difficult to gain weight in this day and age.

The middle-aged man came out to act as a peacemaker. The man who used ice and Lu Youjie both looked unhappy, but they gave him face and did not continue. After that, the middle-aged man took charge of the situation and asked everyone to come out and compete.

Lin Man saw that one of the superpowers was a huge flower with teeth, which could devour the superpowers of others; another superpower was in the shape of bricks, which could produce many bricks to hit people; another superpower could turn the ground into a pile of sand and return it to its original state in an instant; and another superpower was like spider silk, which was difficult to untie once it was wrapped around a person.

In short, there were all kinds of them, but people were very restrained. They basically just showed off and gestured for the sake of meaning. In this way, less spiritual energy was used, and Lin Man no longer saw fog or smoke. He was a little disappointed, but Guan Guan was obviously still very happy. Although the spiritual energy was not as strong as at the beginning, there were many people, and they could absorb it one by one and slowly, so it didn't have to be hurried and roaring when absorbing it.

Finally, the middle-aged man who used fire suddenly turned to Lin Cheng and said, "Captain Lin, why don't you show off your skills?"

Everyone looked over at once.

Lin Man only then realized that Lin Cheng had been standing beside him. Looking at the sharp eyes of those people, it was obvious that they wanted to know Lin Cheng's level. Lin Man suddenly realized that this supernatural power competition was mainly for people to test each other's strength and find out each other's abilities. Looking at the looks of these people, what they wanted to find out most was probably Lin Cheng's abilities.

There are only twenty or thirty people, and the water is quite deep!

However, Lin Man also wanted to know about Lin Cheng's special abilities.

Lin Cheng smiled faintly, turned his eyes slightly, and saw a painting on the wall. Lin Man followed his gaze and saw that it was a picture of chrysanthemums, orange-yellow chrysanthemums in full bloom, and the painting was quite realistic.

Is there any mystery in this picture?

Lin Cheng reached out and grabbed the chrysanthemum painting.

Everyone in the audience tensed.

Lin Man was puzzled, but before Lin Cheng's hand even touched the drawing, the drawing began to twist. The next moment, the chrysanthemum on the drawing disappeared, and a big chrysanthemum suddenly appeared in Lin Cheng's hand.

Orange-yellow, in full bloom, with dense and curled petals, accompanied by green leaves, so fresh and plump that they seem to have just been picked, even the dew on the petals and the fluff on the leaves are clearly visible, chrysanthemums.

Lin Man was stunned.

This, this, this is clearly a real flower!

She looked at what Lin Cheng was holding, then at the blank drawing paper on the wall, feeling incredibly magical. Although superpowers were inherently magical, and someone had previously used superpowers to create a man-eating plant, Lin Cheng's move still surprised her immensely.

The middle-aged man's expression stiffened. Looking at the chrysanthemum in Lin Cheng's hand, which was so realistic in every detail, he laughed dryly and said, "Captain Lin is becoming more and more skilled at this. But when did Captain Lin stop loving swords and guns and start loving these delicate flowers?"

Lin Cheng gently stroked the petals, and suddenly turned the flower. Several slender and slightly curled petals suddenly straightened and broke out from the flower, shooting towards everyone like sharp thorns. Everyone was suddenly startled and hurriedly dodged to block, but before the petals touched them, they froze in the air and dissipated on their own.

Everyone was shocked and confused. Was this due to insufficient superpowers or the result of Lin Cheng's control?

If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, the ability to control superpowers is really...

Lin Cheng had no intention of explaining. Just as he was about to let go of the flower, he saw Lin Man staring at it intently, not blinking. His eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity, almost shining. He couldn't help but say, "Here you go."

Lin Man was stunned for a moment: "Give it to me?" She did not forget that this person was a dangerous person who had set his sights on her, but the temptation of this flower was too great, because she vaguely sensed something different from it. Guan Guan was also shouting in her mind: "Give it to me, Xiao Man, give it to me quickly!"

So she smiled shamelessly and said, "Thank you." She suppressed her excitement and took it.

The tentacles really looked like real flowers, and one could even smell a faint floral fragrance. However, what Lin Man was really concerned about was not this, but the fact that she felt spiritual energy, which was in line with the spiritual power in her body. It was the first time she felt spiritual energy other than the one she had already absorbed.

She felt that the whole flower was made up of a ball of spiritual energy!

The chrysanthemum left Lin Cheng's hand and lost its special power, or in other words, lost its spiritual support. Its color began to fade and its outline became blurred. In the eyes of others, the flower gradually dissipated, but in Lin Man's eyes, as it dissipated, it disintegrated into white mist and was then absorbed by her right hand.

Not a single bit was wasted.

Lin Man felt a chill in his palms and his body trembled. The feeling of spiritual energy entering his body was too strong.

Guan Guan was very happy: "I have been in the human world for so long, but I have never felt such rich and pure spiritual energy. It would be great if I had been following a person with superpowers from the beginning." I guess he would have become a big bird by now.

It was so excited that it spoke out its true feelings.

After being shocked, Lin Man was a little upset: "I'm so sorry, I delayed you."

Guan Guan came to his senses and quickly made amends: "What I meant was that you guys don't lack spiritual energy, but you lack the eyes to discover it. From now on, we should discover more and absorb more together, for my benefit as well as yours."

Guan Guan is not a fool. If the person it followed was not Lin Man, it would probably not be so relaxed. The more powerful a person is, the stronger his possessiveness and desire for control are, and the more serious his thoughts are.

For example, if Lin Man insisted on sleeping in the space, no amount of spiritual energy would be enough for her to absorb. Even if she hid in the house, she would suck it dry bit by bit. When the spiritual energy was completely sucked away, it would no longer exist. Even if the space was gone, it would still be a piece of broken fairyland. It could still be used for farming and could be upgraded slowly, but the speed would be slower.

Lin Man didn't know the psychological process of this little fat chicken. She couldn't help but sneak a peek at Lin Cheng. Her perception of him changed from "a bad guy with bad intentions who needs to be extremely vigilant" to "Ahhh, he has so much spiritual energy. It would be great if I could tie him up and let him transform her into flowers every day."

Her eyes sparkled. Seeing Lin Cheng looking at a treasure trove of spiritual energy, he certainly could sense it. He was a little silent. He had been wary of him before, and she couldn't even spare a glance at the delicious sweet potato. Now, her attitude had changed so much just because she gave him a flower. Girls nowadays are like this...

Lin Cheng couldn't find the words and took a step to the side.

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant for a moment, and then everyone came forward to talk to Lin Cheng warmly, hoping that he would show off his skills again. Some people also suggested that they should practice martial arts with him alone, but Lin Cheng refused.

Lin Man was pushed away, but he was still secretly expecting something. However, when he saw that Lin Cheng was unmoved, he felt quite disappointed.

Just then someone came to ask Lin Cheng to come over, saying that the leader of the base wanted him to come over, so he turned around and looked at Lin Man.

Lin Man didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that this treasure trove of spiritual energy had left, and the others didn't seem to have any intention of displaying their special abilities, and that Lu Youjie seemed to be coming to talk to her, she hurriedly slipped away and followed Lin Cheng out.

Lin Cheng turned around and looked at her, and she gave him a fake smile: "Goodbye, Mr. Lin." She was reluctant to leave this treasure trove of spiritual energy, but since this person had some intentions towards her, they would always meet again in the future, right?

Lin Man was conflicted. She waited until Lin Cheng and the others had walked some distance down the stairs before she slowly went downstairs. She planned to absorb spiritual energy up close. When she walked down the stairs, she suddenly saw a familiar face.

Zhang Chengtao? The second-in-command of the Peace Base? He was actually here?
