What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan immediately changed his strategy and began circling around the Wave-Treading Dragon Horse, ready to strike it with his claws at any moment.

Wounds soon appeared on the joints of the Wave-Treading Dragon Horse that were not covered by dragon scales.

The beast was furious. This werewolf was clearly no match for it, yet it had managed to hurt it in such a despicable way.

Nabi, the commentator, clenched her fist: "That's it, Liu Yuan! He's using his agility to suppress the opponent. As long as we can wait for the other supporting heroes to arrive, we're guaranteed to win!"

Rita then encouraged the viewers in the live stream to send gifts to Liu Yuan. Although Liu Yuan was not a registered hero and could not receive gift revenue sharing, his brother and father both had exclusive gifts. Since they were family, it didn't matter who sent the gifts.

"The dragon's younger brother is handsome too! Sisters, let's all vote for him and support his debut!"

"As expected, like father, like son. Those unscrupulous media outlets used up all their luck in life after giving birth to the dragon. Now they've proven them wrong."

"Seriously, you guys can get excited about a D-level ability user?"

"Whether it's D-rank or S-rank, as long as they can kill the alien beasts, they're our heroes. The one who was swearing earlier, please use your G-rank ability to go up and give the alien beast a good whack!"

"666, the guy who said it's G-level superpowers is a genius, keyboard warriors shut up!!"

There were far more people supporting Liu Yuan than hating him in the comments. No matter how unruly he was before, as long as he was willing to stand on the front line against the alien beasts, many viewers would still choose to be tolerant.

"Roar!!!"

Finally, the Wave-Treading Dragon Horse stopped waiting to die. The blue light in its eyes intensified, its huge body was lifted up by the water, and its whiskers moved without wind.

"Oh no! The beast has gone berserk!"

A large amount of seawater was pulled up by the power of the wave-riding dragon horse, gradually forming a huge waterspout five meters high, and thousands of sea fish fell to the ground and kept splashing.

Liu Yuan sensed something was wrong. He had wanted to rush into the forest to avoid the attack from the Wave-Treading Dragon Horse, but this time the beast had turned the tables and restrained him!

Unable to escape, Liu Yuan was struck squarely by the waterspout!

His body was engulfed by seawater, which spun rapidly, lifting him off the ground while simultaneously cutting into his body.

With nowhere to turn for support, Liu Yuan found himself in dire straits, feeling increasingly suffocated.

"Am I... going to die?"

In his hazy state of consciousness, Liu Yuan seemed to see a familiar figure on the cliff!

His vertical pupils blazed with a fierce will to survive.

"Godfather! Glug glug glug... Help me!"

055 made a move

As the dragon flew rapidly through the air, it saw its younger brother being sucked into a waterspout and nearly suffocating in the live stream on its watch, and was immediately filled with anxiety.

He immediately activated 120% flight power, and the blue tail flame of the aircraft turned red. Even the first-stage transformed dragon found it difficult to withstand the oncoming wind pressure.

"Hang in there, Yuan!"

……

Yang Xi shook his head. Liu Yuan still couldn't create a miracle, but as a tool, he did pretty well, at least he saved two lives.

Liu Yuan has already revealed that he possesses supernatural abilities; now it remains to be seen how Kunlun Company will react.

"After laying the groundwork for so long, the first bait has finally been thrown out. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the other side reacts."

Yang Xi wanted to see just how attractive the "superpower potion" program was to these A-level heroes.

He raised one index finger and flicked it forward. A sharp, spindle-shaped metal rod flashed through the air with a golden light, piercing through the white dragon scales, muscle tissue, forehead bone, and brain of the Wave-Treading Dragon Horse as easily as piercing tofu with chopsticks. It emerged from the mane of the wavy waves behind its head, bringing with it a large amount of red and white matter.

The triumphant grin on the Dragon Horse's face was still etched on his lips, but his eyes were gradually losing focus.

The massive, three-meter-tall body crashed to the ground, and the waterspout behind it disintegrated after losing control of its power. Liu Yuan, freed from his predicament, took a deep breath of fresh air. Just as he was about to say something to his godfather, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

It was Yang Xi who used mental shock to knock him unconscious; now is not a good time to expose his relationship with Liu Yuan.

Yang Xi pretended to finish off the alien beast, but actually took the opportunity to strip away the Wave-Treading Dragon Horse's superpowers, and then quickly left the scene on the metal flying disc.

"This...this...this is the mysterious Rooster!" Because the Dragon Horse fell down so quickly, the viewers in the live stream didn't react for a moment. The chat only became active after Yang Xi finished everything and left.

"Hiss—! The Wave-Treading Dragon Horse, who almost killed Liu Yuan, couldn't even withstand a single move from the Rooster. This guy truly deserves to be a super expert capable of defeating two A-level heroes!"

"Shouldn't he be an enemy of the Demon Dragon? Why would he intervene to save the Demon Dragon's brother?"

"Maybe he was just passing by and killed the beast on a whim. He might not even recognize that this werewolf is the rich kid he used to beat up."

"This is a true powerhouse. He arrived gracefully, annihilated the beast in an instant, and then left decisively."

"Damn, how come such a powerful hero doesn't have a special gift? My wallet is already itching to spend!"

"...The one ahead, Rooster, is not a registered hero."

"The Hero Association's system is truly laughable; even such powerful superhumans can't become heroes." (This user has been banned.)

The dragon was already suspended in mid-air, staring blankly at his younger brother lying unconscious on the ground on the phone screen, and the rooster that had briefly appeared in the picture, falling into silence.

"Since you saved my brother, I'll spare your life next time we fight."

Through this period of intense training, the Demon Dragon felt he had made significant progress, and if he were to fight the Rooster again, he would surely be the victor.

When the Demon Dragon arrived at the battle site, several heroes from other hero management companies or the Hero Association of Lukang were already present.

They also learned what happened from the live stream. Besides a few people finishing off the Dragon Horse, there were also a few people surrounding Liu Yuan, who had already woken up.

The Hero Association's direct-affiliated hero, "Crab Scissors," said, "Liu Yuan, although your initial intention was to save people, you are not a hero and are not authorized to use your superpowers in public. This is a violation of the Superpower Act. I'll have to trouble you to come with me to the Hero Association."

People from other agencies don't dare to mess with the son of Mechanical Warrior, but Crab Scissors, a direct subordinate of the Hero Association, doesn't take these "contract workers" seriously. He's a formally employed person, so he naturally has to express an official attitude in his actions. No matter who you are or what your original intention is, if you violate the "Superpower Act," you'll be taken back for questioning.

"That crab monster is causing trouble again. I heard he's made things difficult for a lot of new recruits at Hero Company. He always likes to do disgusting things under the guise of high-sounding excuses."

"Even the Rooster Boss isn't a hero, so why doesn't he jump out and cause trouble?"

"He's probably afraid that the Rooster will kill him in one move, after all, it's not the first time he's killed a C-level hero."

Many viewers in the live chat had witnessed his numerous misdeeds and began to criticize him. Crab Scissors Hand maintained his fame in this way.

"I'd like to see who dares to take my brother, the Demon Dragon, for questioning. Kunlun Entertainment will handle this matter properly."

The dragon slowly descended onto the damp road.

Upon seeing him, the heroes who had been surrounding Liu Yuan dispersed.

He pushed through the crowd, stepped forward to help his younger brother up, and carefully checked his injuries. Only after finding nothing serious did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, doubts slowly rose in his heart. How could his younger brother, who had never shown any special abilities, suddenly become a D-level superhuman?

……

After returning home, Yang Xi took a hot shower before checking on the superpower he had just acquired.

Superpower: Surfing Master

Description: You can freely surf on the sea and control the water flow to launch attacks.

Rating: D-grade. A cool surfing skill; it can also be used for washing dishes.

"It's a water elemental ability. I already have several elemental abilities: plasma, fire, metal control, and this surfing master. I wonder when I'll be able to collect all the elemental abilities. That will definitely be very interesting."

As for the combat ability of this surfing expert, it is probably not as comprehensive as that of the C-rank Snow Woman. At most, it can only diversify Yang Xi's ability reserves and can play a good role in certain combat environments, such as the sea.

After lying down, Yang Xi sorted out his thoughts. He then waited for the people from Kunlun Economic Company to discover Liu Yuan's secret and eventually uncover his fabricated "superpower drug" plan.

Yang Xi also needs to spend some time dealing with Qian Duoduo's affairs. Through the energy bead placed on her, he can sense her location, which is probably the branch of the Van Hai Chamber of Commerce under the Beast Merchant Alliance in Lukang.

"The alien beast weapons and the alchemical matrix are quite interesting; they might become key elements in my revenge plan."

Having already tasted the benefits of absorbing the S-class weapon Muramasa Demon Blade, Yang Xi set his sights on the pitiful assets of the Van Hai Merchant Guild.

As for the alien beast corpse processing center, it seems that the defenses have become more stringent due to the last alien beast corpse mutation incident, and it is temporarily impossible to replenish one's abilities there.

After thinking it all through, Yang Xi closed his eyes and began to try entering the body of the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman with his spirit for the first time.

056 Saints and Scoundrels

After activating the A-level [Puppet Control] spirit to descend, Yang Xi felt his soul arrive in a mysterious space.

Three halos appeared in front of Yang Xi's spirit body; two of them were blank, and only the middle one had an image.

Yang Xi understood immediately, "The scene in the middle should be what Hot and Sour Noodles Superman sees."

Without further hesitation, his pale spirit plunged headfirst into the halo representing the Hot and Sour Noodles Superman.

In an instant, space and time shifted, and Yang Xi's spirit descended into the body of the Hot and Sour Noodles Superman.

A respectful voice from the Hot and Sour Noodles Superman echoed in my mind: "Master, you've arrived."

"Hmm, I hope I didn't bother you?"

"No, Master reminded me beforehand that you would attempt to descend once before the transaction."

"That's good. What should I do next?"

The feeling was wonderful. Yang Xi found that he could control the body of the Hot and Sour Noodle Superman without any awkwardness. He originally thought that it would be like the "possession" in ancient mythology, where the five senses would be weakened.

But now... Yang Xi took a sip of red wine, the mellow sweet and sour taste blooming on his tongue and taste buds. In addition to the aroma of food, the fragrance of the female hero beside him lingered in his nostrils. His ten fingers were incredibly nimble, and he could clearly hear the whispers of the people behind him.

"This is a charity gala. All we need to do is bid on some paintings. The company has prepared 200 million in funding for tonight."

Yang Xi was a little surprised, "200 million? Your company is quite generous!"

Sour and Spicy Noodles Superman was a little embarrassed and explained, "This donation is mainly to help some retired heroes who are struggling financially. The company can still get a lot from it. Doing this is also to create a public welfare image for me, so as to prepare for the later attempt to become an A-level hero."

"If I become an A-class hero, Red Sky Company's rating will be upgraded, and we can receive more subsidies from the Hero Association every year, so... this 200 million is a good deal."

While marveling at the outrageous tactics of these hero management companies, Yang Xi began to savor the food. After all, this was Yanjing, where the food was much more refined than in Lugang.

It's a pity that Yang Xi had five million in funding but didn't even have time to engage in corruption a few times.

"Anyway, remind me what we're going to film later. My time here is only two hours. By the way, what exactly is your superpower?"

"My superpower is called [Hot and Sour Noodle Transformation]. It is a transformation-type superpower. Currently, with my development, I can maintain the transformation for 15 minutes. The interval between each transformation is six hours. After using the blue pill, I can ignore these limitations and directly unleash thirty times the strength of an ordinary human. The duration is unknown, but the longer the time, the greater the risk of me losing control."

Yang Xi nodded silently to indicate that he understood, but the name "[Hot and Sour Noodles Transformation]" was probably chosen by Hot and Sour Noodles Superman himself.

"Tell me some information about healing-type ability users, preferably those who are morally corrupt and have done all sorts of bad things."

Although he found his master's request strange, out of absolute loyalty to Yang Xi, Hot and Sour Noodles Superman searched through his memories and gave the information he knew: "Healing abilities are very rare, and given your special request, the only person I know who can meet your requirements is the Light Priest, the leader of the Second District's ability user organization 'Saints.' He is an A-level healing ability user."

“Unlike the relatively safe District 1, the Second District is rife with human trafficking and drug dealing, and the Saints are among the best of these underground organizations.”

"What exactly are his healing abilities?"

"There is no clear information on the specifics, but based on his combat record in recent years, his ability allows people with superpowers to recover from injuries in a short time, and it is a group recovery. This is also why the Saints Organization is so difficult to deal with. With the leader, the Light Priest's, superpower, they fight by trading injuries for injuries without any scruples."
