"So he must have lost his superpower core during this growth process. For superpowered individuals, the stronger the superpower core becomes, the more it is bound to the superpowered individual. Only when he is still weak and loses his superpower core can he save his life."

"But the tyrant who had tasted the power of spatial abilities was unwilling to lose this power, so he set his sights on his sister. Even though he knew that his sister was already bound to the ability crystal core and that losing the ability crystal core would basically mean losing her life, he didn't care at all."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see. Lin is indeed Lin; his insight into human nature far surpasses that of us."

This principle is easy to understand. Just like some young men and women who taste forbidden fruit and then become addicted and unable to control themselves, Gu Ran obviously also felt the power of spatial ability, which is why he felt resentful after losing this power.

"To be honest, when I first met him, I never saw him use spatial abilities."

At this time, a cold voice sounded.

Lin Fan looked at the owner of the voice—Cheng Youmeng.

Cheng Youmeng is petite with a very girlish face, but her black martial arts outfit restricts her two peaks that are quite disproportionate to her size.

She held a simple, ancient-looking sword with an intricately carved scabbard to her chest as it passed diagonally between two mountains.

She was the commander of Gu Ran's personal guard, and could also be considered one of Gu Ran's former admirers.

However, due to various reasons, she and Gu Ran became enemies and she joined the alliance led by the protagonist, Lin Fan.

She was the one who shut down and destroyed the space-disrupting device in Meteor City; otherwise, Gu Qingqing wouldn't have been able to lead the allied forces here, and the allied forces wouldn't have been able to breach the Meteor Building so easily.

Lin Fan had long desired Cheng Youmeng and considered her one of his concubines.

However, he hadn't had a good opportunity before, but now that he heard Cheng Youmeng start, he immediately replied, "Youmeng—Grandmaster...you knew that tyrant a long time ago, and when you met him, that tyrant could no longer use spatial abilities, right?"

He originally intended to address her affectionately as "Youmeng," but considering the presence of other beauties, he realized that such intimacy might be inappropriate and would make it more difficult to recruit them into his harem. Therefore, he changed his address and added a respectful title for martial arts masters at the Golden Core stage—Grandmaster.

Lin Fan smiled smugly: "It seems I guessed right. The tyrant probably made a grudge with someone in the slums and lost his superpower core."

Cheng Youmeng's attention was never on Lin Fan from beginning to end; her gaze was fixed on Gu Ran on the screen.

Her feelings towards Gu Ran were complex; she harbored both hatred for him and a strong curiosity to uncover his past.

She wanted to know what Gu Ran had gone through to become the kind of person she was, who killed her only family member.

Gu Qingqing's heart was filled with bitterness.

Although her life was quickly filled with continuous learning and training after she was separated from her older brother Gu Ran when she was young, she still thought of her older brother in her spare time.

Although I don't quite remember what I went through with my brother, a faint sense of happiness still lingers in my heart.

This filled her with all sorts of wonderful fantasies about her brother, but these fantasies were later completely shattered.

Her brother had indeed once treated a sister with utmost kindness, but that sister was not her; he only had greed and demands towards her.

If her special ability crystal could transform Gu Ran into the beautiful version of her imagination, she would definitely give it her all.

But she knew it was impossible; Gu Ran had disappointed her and everyone else.

Even if we obtain her supernatural power core, it probably won't bring any positive changes.

......

In the light screen.

Gu Ran was also filled with surprise at his own power.

That powerful force just now was emitted from his body, but it was an instinctive attack he used after the initial burst of energy.

As for what this power is and why it erupted from him, he was still confused because his mind was in turmoil.

A moment later, Gu Ran touched her heart and began to make some guesses.

Because his trash always included unwanted old newspapers, magazines, and other written knowledge materials, he had some understanding and speculation about people with superpowers.

After a person with superpowers awakens, a superpower crystal core will be generated in the heart area.

The supernatural crystal core can, to some extent, replace the function of the heart and enhance a person's physical fitness.

Therefore, although many people with superpowers are not as physically strong as martial artists who practice martial arts, they are still far stronger than ordinary people.

However, as the superhuman grows, the superhuman crystal core will slowly fuse with their heart.

Therefore, the heart becomes a weak point for superhumans, although ordinary people can't hit a superhuman's heart.

Gu Ran recalled the situation when he punched the first boy away.

Perhaps that's the reason; he possesses the talent of a superhuman, which is why his physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

"Am I now a superhuman?"

Thinking of this, Gu Ran was pleasantly surprised.

Gu Ran struggled to stand up, but then his limbs were wracked with pain.

His limbs have been broken.

"I've heard that superpower crystals can not only give superpowered individuals powerful superpowers, but also improve their physical condition. I wonder if they can heal my limbs."

After struggling for a while, Gu Ran gave up on standing up and instead crawled on the ground toward the baby girl.

Gu Ran crawled through disgusting flesh and blood, and successfully reached the baby girl.

“Now I’ll be able to protect you, little sister.” Gu Ran smiled as she looked at the baby girl.

......

Outside the light screen.

Gu Qingqing murmured sadly, "If only you had said those words to me."

9. This can't be called genius, this is downright monstrous!

"I don't know if I can use the power of the supernatural crystal core to repair my injuries."

The slums are chaotic. They just made such a commotion; who knows what kind of people they might attract.

So Gu Ran wanted to get his sister away from here as soon as possible, but his hands and feet were useless and he was unable to walk away.

Gu Ran quickly thought of his only remaining advantage—his newly awakened spatial ability.

"The ability crystal core is the source of an ability user's power. If an ability user wants to develop their own ability, they will definitely cultivate their own ability crystal core. If an ability user wants to use their power better, they will definitely learn to mobilize their own ability crystal core."

Gu Ran thought to himself.

Since superhumans can manipulate superpower crystals, can he now use the power of superpower crystals to repair his body?

Time waits for no one, so Gu Ran quickly put his idea into practice.

......

Outside the light screen.

The crowd looked at Gu Ran, who had closed his eyes, with some confusion.

"What is he doing? Has he given up on saving himself?"

"Is this just closing your eyes and waiting to die?"

Cheng Youmeng shook her head: "That's because you don't understand him. He's the kind of person who will never give up even when he's in dire straits. This little setback is nothing to him."

Scenes from that time flashed before her eyes.

Even in such a desperate situation, he did not give up and persevered.

Wasn't that the same reason I was attracted to him?

Thinking of this, a bitter smile flashed across Cheng Youmeng's lips.

Soon, everyone outside the light screen knew what Gu Ran was doing.

They were astonished to find that Gu Ran's wounds were stopping bleeding and his deformed hands and feet were slowly returning to normal.

"He's... using the power of the supernatural crystal core to repair his body? How could he do that?!"

Using the power of the supernatural crystal core to heal injuries was something all too familiar to the supernatural powerhouses present.

Although the healing ability of the superpower crystal core is not as good as the self-healing ability of a martial artist, it is better than having no effect at all.

They've done this countless times.

However, this is also the real reason that surprised them.

Because they were all very familiar with this matter, they knew how terrifying it was that Gu Ran, who had just awakened, could skillfully use the supernatural crystal core to heal himself.

This proves that Gu Ran's control over the superpower crystal core has surpassed that of many geniuses who have awakened their superpowers for many years!

Even the most exceptionally gifted individuals, chosen from among thousands, need to gradually familiarize themselves with the power crystal core and spend time mastering it.

For a normal genius with superpowers, it would take at least two years from the day they awaken their superpowers to become proficient in using them to heal injuries!

Unless it's a superpower that's inherently inclined towards healing, you can't significantly shorten the time. Otherwise, just wait for the uncontrolled energy in the superpower crystal core to damage your body and worsen your injuries.

"Impossible, even a tyrant couldn't do that. He just awakened his superpower and he's already using his superpower crystal to heal himself?"

This had a strong impact on those with superpowers.

After awakening their superpowers, each of them carefully familiarized themselves with the superpower crystal core, fearing any potential problems.

You should know that the location of the superpower crystal core is in the heart.

If something goes wrong in this position, it's tantamount to suicide.
