Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Su Bai slowly stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and said slowly, "I didn't know it from the beginning either. It was only after entering the other realm that I gradually discovered that something was wrong with them."

"But after entering the other world, they just sat quietly against the wall, looking no different from ordinary people. How did you find the flaw?" Zheng Yi carefully recalled the details of the other world, but still had no clue, so he couldn't help but ask.

Su Bai said calmly, "On the first night, when the lights were flickering, I noticed by chance that they had no shadows. If they had no shadows, it was either an illusion or they were shadows themselves, which is why you couldn't kill them when you tried to kill them. Also, after the lights went out, I went to look for them and accidentally touched the father's body. It was ice-cold, not at all like the body temperature of a living person."

He paused, then continued, "As for knowing that their true forms were hidden behind the wall, it was because once I wanted them to come and sit with everyone, and that little boy whispered, 'We're right here.' Later, combining this with the twelve-word mantra in the otherworld, I guessed that their true forms were hidden inside the wall."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng couldn't help but sincerely admire, "You were able to notice such a subtle detail. Your mind is so meticulous; you are truly impressive."

Ma Jun, who was standing to the side, suddenly snorted coldly, his tone full of suspicion: "Since you knew all this all along, why didn't you tell everyone sooner? Why wait until the last minute to say it? Could it be that you, like Li Wei, are hiding some selfish motive and want to watch us die?"

Before Su Bai could even speak, Old Zhou exploded first.

He suddenly stood up, pointed at Ma Jun's nose, and cursed, "You're talking bullshit! If it weren't for Su Bai, you would have died in the Otherworld long ago, either killed by monsters or killed by triggering the rules. Now that you're alive, you not only don't know how to be grateful, but you also bite the hand that feeds you. What kind of mother raised you? You're so shameless in being such an ingrate!"

Ma Jun's gaze instantly turned cold, and his murderous aura surged. His undamaged right hand grabbed Lao Zhou's collar with lightning speed and lifted him up.

Before Lao Zhou could react, he flicked his wrist, and Lao Zhou was thrown out like a rag doll.

All of this happened so fast that Old Zhou fell heavily to the ground, landing squarely on his back, before he realized what had happened.

He lay on the ground, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Ma Jun, I'll fuck your ancestors! You dare touch your grandfather!"

Ma Jun lowered his eyes, looking at him with the gaze one would give an ant, his tone cold and arrogant: "Old Zhou, I, Ma Jun, used to be weak and bullied by everyone, but things are different now. What I just gave you was just a small lesson. If you dare to disrespect me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

After speaking, he lifted his intact foot and stomped it heavily on the ground.

With a muffled thud, the ground beneath his feet instantly collapsed, creating a crater more than half a person's height, with dirt flying everywhere, demonstrating the formidable power of his superpower.

Old Zhou, who was about to get up and continue cursing, looked at the deep pit and immediately shut his mouth, silently thinking, "......" You're something else, you win!

Anyone else would have lost face by now and dared not utter another word, but Old Zhou was different.

He quickly got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body, and, no longer daring to argue, walked back to Su Bai's side with a defiant look on his face, sticking close to him as if he had found a backer.

Ma Jun's gaze then shifted to Hei Zi a few steps away, a mocking smile playing on his lips. His tone was sarcastic: "Hei Zi, after Li Wei knocked you unconscious, Su Bai had to reveal his solution to break the deadlock just to save you. Now, don't you want to repay that debt and side with him?"

In the alternate world, Ma Jun and Hei Zi had already broken off all pretense of civility.

Ma Jun's words at this moment were clearly dredging up old grievances and deliberately making things difficult for the critics.

Hei Zi paused slightly, then subconsciously looked at Su Bai.

Su Bai merely glanced back at him indifferently before slowly shifting her gaze to Ma Jun.

Although Ma Jun was speaking to Hei Zi, Hei Zi's eyes were fixed on him the whole time, clearly a provocation.

Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi stood to the side, their expressions calm, without uttering a single word.

They knew in their hearts that this was someone else's grudge, and besides, in this apocalyptic world, the strong prey on the weak, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. There was no need to offend the powerful Ma Jun for the sake of unrelated people.

People are just that realistic. When you are weak and unable to bring benefits to others, no one will be willing to stand up for you, and no one will take you seriously.

Meeting Su Bai's gaze, Ma Jun smiled arrogantly, his tone carrying a hint of oppression: "Speak up, Su Bai, I also want to hear how you know that can kill monsters? Stop hiding it."

Su Bai raised his eyes indifferently, his tone detached and cold: "Why should I tell you?"

The smile on Ma Jun's lips was still frozen on his face, but his gaze instantly turned cold, and a murderous aura emanated from him once again. He stared intently at Su Bai, as if he was about to make a move at any moment.

Su Bai wasn't afraid at all, meeting his gaze directly, but instead asked Old Zhou beside her, "Did it hurt when you fell?"

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

Even at this point, when the two were almost at each other's throats, Su Bai was still concerned about whether Lao Zhou was hurt from the fall. This was blatant arrogance, clearly showing that he didn't take Ma Jun seriously.

At least that's how it seems to everyone.

Ma Jun's face instantly turned so gloomy it seemed to drip water, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the air pressure around him plummeted to an extreme low.

Old Zhou was also taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said casually, "It doesn't hurt."

Su Bai pressed further, "Didn't it hurt at all to be thrown out so forcefully by him?"

Old Zhou nodded again, looking completely matter-of-fact: "It really doesn't hurt, it's like falling on cotton."

The words had barely left his mouth when he suddenly froze, his eyes widening as if he'd discovered a new continent. He jumped up, exclaiming with delight, "Hey, that's right! He threw me so hard just now, how come I'm not hurt at all? Not even in pain?"

Everyone was stunned.

Ma Jun just stomped so hard he could create a deep crater; his strength was incredible. Old Zhou was thrown so violently, yet he was completely unharmed. This is highly unusual.

After a moment, they all had their own answers.

This must be the superpower that Lao Zhou awakened.

After realizing what was happening, Lao Zhou burst into laughter, strode between Su Bai and Ma Jun, raised his chin, and put his hands on his hips.

He looked at Ma Jun smugly, his tone arrogant: "Grandson, see that? Grandpa has superpowers now too! Who's afraid of who now? You dare touch me again!"
