Under the bright lights, the open space in front of the base laboratory was already crowded with people, and two groups of superhumans were fighting fiercely.
Lin Ruo hid on the rooftop, out of the light, and watched Chen Yu and Qi Chengkai's battle below intently. She enveloped them with her mental energy, receiving feedback from it in her mind, and slowly imitated Qi Chengkai's martial arts moves.
She had practiced the previous two sets of boxing techniques so thoroughly that they had almost become a part of her body. She had originally wanted to find a new martial arts move for herself, and now was the perfect opportunity to learn it by stealing it.
As the two sparred, they continuously used their special abilities to target each other's weaknesses. Compared to Chen Yu's lightning-based abilities, Qi Chengkai's mental abilities clearly had the advantage. He had been awakened for a longer time, and his abilities were inherently stronger than Chen Yu's. Furthermore, mental attacks were difficult for ability users of the same level to defend against.
Qi Chengkai always used his mental power to launch sneak attacks, and Chen Yu could only passively defend himself with lightning-based attacks.
After watching for a few minutes, Lin Ruo also noticed the drawbacks of this kind of stealth learning. She had seen some of the moves many times, and she didn't have a general understanding of the moves. She didn't know the secrets of these moves, and could only memorize each move individually.
Sometimes, Qi Chengkai's movements weren't quite standard for the sake of convenience in combat. Lin Ruo, having studied boxing for so long, could still see some of it. She withdrew her mental energy, touched her chin, and realized that to truly grasp the essence, she still needed to have a good "talk" with a member of the Qi family.
While watching the two fight, Lin Ruo didn't forget to use her mental energy to cover the battlefield, searching for the crystal core she wanted. There were almost no water, wood, or space-type characters in the B City base's camp.
Because these three superpowers are strategic reserve resources at the B City base, each one is related to the future survival of humanity, and they are extremely precious. It is impossible to let them take such a risk.
However, the Qi family had many wood and water elemental users participating in the battle. Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes and quickly locked onto the location of the water elemental user closest to her. She flashed and jumped off the roof.
A height of several tens of meters was not high for Lin Ruo. When she jumped down from the air, she had already used her spatial domain to change the gravity around her, so she felt light when she landed on the ground.
However, as soon as she landed, a beam of fire shot towards her. Lin Ruo activated her mental energy, and a layer of water film appeared beside her, blocking the beam of fire.
Lin Ruo could clearly see the Qi family's superhuman who had attacked her earlier through the water membrane. The superhuman was continuing to attack her water membrane. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and quickly spread her mental power across the entire battlefield. Countless ice needles appeared rapidly around her and were spinning around her.
"It's Lin Ruo!"
"How could she be here!"
"Quick! Get away from her!"
When the superhumans from the B City base noticed her presence, they instinctively moved away from her, fearing that they would be indiscriminately attacked by the ice needles spinning around her. Under Lin Ruo's powerful mental control, each ice needle shot out would reap the life of a Qi family superhuman.
The deaths of these superhumans were remarkably uniform; all of them had ice needles piercing their foreheads. Once the needles entered their bodies, their entire heads were frozen solid. The next moment, the ice shattered, carrying the crystal cores from their brains back to Lin Ruo's side. Within minutes, more than a dozen superhuman crystal cores were floating around Lin Ruo, their various colors particularly beautiful under the lights.
Lin Ruo came down to fight with a purpose; those wood-type and water-type characters were her primary targets.
She was enveloped in ice needles, and the other superhumans around her saw those who had been killed by the ice needles, their deaths gruesome and powerless.
When Lin Ruo got close, they all instinctively moved away, creating a vacuum around her. As a result, her movements were completely unrestricted, and she went straight for the water and wood-type ability users.
Every time the ice needles passed over a member of the Qi family with superpowers, they would pierce out without hesitation, causing the Qi family member to fall to the ground and the crystal core in their brain to disappear instantly.
The B City base superhumans who were fighting that superhuman were first stunned, then overjoyed. Lin Ruo was helping them!
"Quick! Let's follow behind Sister Ruo!"
"Charge! Our reinforcements have arrived!"
Lin Ruo paused. When did she become a powerful ally of the B City base? She just wanted to wipe out the Qi family and, incidentally, get more supernatural power cores.
Seeing that she had killed many Qi family members with superpowers, they treated her as an outside helper?
Regardless, she did not kill any of the superhumans from the B City base, which explains why she gave them such a misconception.
The Qi family members with superpowers around them also realized Lin Ruo's strength. They joined forces and all released their superpowers at her, but all of these superpowers were blocked by the water membrane covering her, and they couldn't even touch the corner of Lin Ruo's clothes.
Lin Ruo is already a level 7 dual ability user, so putting her on such a battlefield is actually a bit of bullying for the Qi family.
Jiang Yue stood in the crowd, fighting desperately with his crystal energy gun in hand. Seeing the superhumans around him falling down rapidly, he subconsciously looked ahead and saw Lin Ruo's figure flash by. Several superhumans from the Qi family around him fell to the ground in an instant, and their crystal cores were dug out.
He perked up and excitedly shouted, "Sister Ruo!"
Lin Ruo turned to look at him, knowing why he was so agitated, but his thoughts might not be correct.
Ye Lin, who was standing in front, also saw Lin Ruo constantly reaping rewards from the crowd. He was alert and carefully observed Lin Ruo's direction. He quickly discovered that Lin Ruo's targets were very clear each time, mostly water and wood types. He turned his eyes and quickly moved towards Lin Ruo.
"Lin Ruo!" Ye Lin approached Lin Ruo but didn't rush in. Instead, he called out to her loudly, "Want to make a deal? You help us, and I'll give you a water-type crystal core!"
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. At that moment, a superhuman immediately slashed at her with a knife. Lin Ruo instantly produced an ice blade in her hand, swung it to meet the attack, and the opponent's steel-forged longsword was instantly cleaved in two by Lin Ruo's ice blade. The person behind the blade was also cleaved in two by Lin Ruo's single strike.
Large amounts of blood splattered out, splattering on the people around and landing on the ground. At this moment, the ground around the laboratory was already a river of blood, and the blood from before had only added a tiny bit to the blood.
She then turned to look at Ye Lin, a glint of light in her eyes. "How much?"
Ye Lin blinked slightly. This was the first time he had seen Lin Ruo react like this. He hadn't expected that Lin Ruo was killing these water-type ability users for the sake of those water-type crystal cores.
Lin Ruo had just easily killed a level 3 strength ability user, which made Ye Lin steel his heart and say, "If you cooperate with us, we'll give you 50 water-type ability cores afterwards, okay?"
