What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

A snap.

The suitcase was opened, revealing bundles of Azure Coins inside.

Having worked at the bank for so long, the security guard could easily estimate that these Azure Coins were worth around two million.

As a security guard for people with superpowers, it would take him ten years to earn this much.

"Shote!"

He turned and left angrily, thinking how unfair the world was!

Who would have thought that a down-on-his-luck Asian teenager would have so much cash on him!

The white security guard felt a pang of jealousy...

After exchanging the money, Ye Fan bought himself a mask and a set of cheap clothes from a street vendor. Although Yang Xi said he could spend the money as he pleased, Ye Fan dared not waste a single penny.

The only extravagance was buying his sister the little dress she had always wanted, but Ye Fan also secretly vowed that he would make up for the money he spent on the dress by working part-time in the future!

We will absolutely not use the organization's money for unnecessary spending!

If Yang Xi, who was boarding the plane, knew what Ye Fan was thinking at that moment, he would definitely be both amused and exasperated. He would then take this newly recruited underling to see the vault he had buried deep underground, so that he would understand that the cash given to him was just a drop in the ocean.

The expenses for buying dresses for my younger sister will be fully reimbursed by the organization later.

After landing, Yang Xi downgraded his plasma ability to F level and upgraded his metal control back to A level.

Then, riding on a metal frisbee, he made his way to the hospital under the cover of night.

Upon arriving at her younger sister Yang Feifei's hospital room, Yang Xi suddenly felt a little uneasy, wondering if the Holy Light Healing would be effective.

Yang Xi patted Yang Feifei's face, closed the ward door, and covered the surveillance camera with metal.

A holy light enveloped Yang Feifei's body. Nourished by the holy light, Yang Feifei's complexion became rosy, and her dry hair regained its luster.

But... Yang Feifei still didn't open her eyes even after the holy light disappeared.

"Feifei?" Yang Xi nudged his sister, but there was no reaction.

Yang Feifei lay there like Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

Yang Xi's body froze. This A-level holy light healing could theoretically heal all injuries below A level, so why hadn't Yang Feifei woken up?

Yang Xi focused his mental energy on his younger sister, no longer caring about protecting her privacy.

"The body's organs have all recovered to their full potential, so the reason he hasn't woken up yet is due to a problem with his spirit..."

Yang Xi explored the space between his sister's eyebrows and indeed found some inconspicuous blue light spots on her soul!

“This…” Yang Xi recalled the abnormality of the Priest of Light.

075 S-Class Superpower

These blue lights were both eroding Yang Feifei's soul and constantly growing stronger.

Although it is currently only a tiny fraction of the area, less than one-thousandth of the entire soul, if it is allowed to continue developing, it will eventually replace Yang Feifei's entire soul.

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. To truly solve Fei Fei's problem, we have to find either the Glacier Warrior or the top-hatted man who distributed the blue pills."

This weekend is the day that Hot and Sour Noodles Superman and Top Hat Man agreed to meet. Yang Xi, who originally just wanted to get some information, decided to take a risky step.

Because he didn't know when Yang Feifei's condition would worsen, he couldn't act as cautiously as before.

If we reveal even a little bit of information about the Rooster's disguise—some true, some false—this man in the top hat will probably come looking for us.

Yang Xi then spent half a day with his parents and transferred a sum of money to them within their acceptable range—not much, just 30,000 Azure Coins. Yang Xi's excuse was that it was commission from writing articles.

With this money, the two elderly people should be able to have a good New Year.

Yang Xi wasn't unwilling to give more money, but if he gave several million, he wouldn't know how to explain it when his parents asked.

Yang Xi hadn't decided whether she should tell her parents everything about her life. While she could trust them, she didn't want them to bear such a heavy psychological burden.

During this period of time, because of Yang Feifei's situation, Yang's father and mother have become quite haggard, which is also something that makes Yang Xi very heartbroken.

After the two elders fell asleep that night, Yang Xi secretly used his holy light to heal their bodies again, curing some minor ailments. Only then did Yang Xi feel a little relieved.

"When the time is right, we will appropriately reveal some of our savings so that our parents can be freed from work and enjoy life more."

……

Liu Yuan was so bored at the hospital that he was practically numb to the point of ecstasy. Right now, he was like a husky that wanted to go for a walk, pacing around the ward in a huff.

"I've already told you I'm fine, why won't you let me leave the hospital?"

The dragon beside him slowly peeled an apple. "You were seriously injured when you fought the Wave-Treading Dragon Horse. If it weren't for your superpower's strong self-healing ability, you probably wouldn't be able to be so lively now. Sit down properly."

Liu Yuancai was too lazy to talk to the Demon Dragon. They were all born of the same mother, so why should I listen to you?

but……

The door to the ward opened, and the mechanical warrior appeared in the doorway.

Liu Yuan quickly returned to his hospital bed and sat up straight.

This was the first time the old man had appeared at the hospital. In the past, when Liu Yuan had minor bumps and bruises and was hospitalized, only the Demon Dragon would come to check on him.

Hmph, having superpowers really makes a difference; my status in the old man's heart has risen too.

Liu Yuan secretly glanced at the mechanical warrior, feeling quite smug.

Now you want to curry favor with me, Liu Yuan—the future S-class powerhouse? Old Liu, don't you think it's too late?

Liu Yuan was indulging in wild fantasies, practically wearing "I'm awesome" on his face.

But the mechanical warrior smacked Liu Yuan on the forehead, "You brat, who told you to fight with alien beasts? Even if you've awakened your superpowers, do you think you're a hero?"

"Do you know that D-level superhumans can only become hero trainees at Kunlun Company?"

The mechanical warrior's metal hand slammed into Liu Yuan's forehead repeatedly. The demonic dragon behind him watched this scene with concern, wanting to step forward to stop it, but daring not to offend his father's authority.

"Stop, stop, old man! I'm perfectly fine! Don't knock anymore, or I'll go crazy!"

Liu Yuan touched his head, feeling dizzy from being knocked on the ground.

"You survived on your own? If that rooster hadn't happened to pass by, we'd be holding your funeral right now! If you died, how could I face your mother?!"

When Mechanical Warrior got to this point, both Demon Dragon and Liu Yuan's expressions changed.

Liu Yuan's mother died during childbirth, which has always been a hurdle in the hearts of Liu Yuan's father and sons.

Mechanical Warrior glared at Liu Yuan and instructed Demon Dragon, "Keep an eye on your brother these days. Don't let him run around outside. There are still people in the Hero Association who want to use his case against him. I'll handle it."

As he left the ward, Mechanical Warrior frowned and said, "This kid has a secret."

Liu Yuan's superpower came about in a very strange way...

Mechanical Warrior recalls several recent events that happened to his youngest son: an encounter with a Rooster at a bar, the Flame Boxer losing his powers, Liu Yuan suddenly trying to build a relationship with Li Canyang, and the Rooster reappearing in the previous monster incident.

Is it a coincidence?

Liu Yuan... Li Canyang... Youji, the mechanical warrior always felt that there was some connection between these three people.

Moreover, he had been holding meetings with Li Canyang at the Hero Association these past few days, and he also realized that there was a secret about the rising star that his company was promoting.

"As expected, the breakthrough point still has to be found in Liu Yuan."

His own foolish son has probably been sold out and is still counting money for the seller.

……

Yang Xi returned to his large apartment and lay on the bed to start tallying up his gains from the trip to District Two.

Yang Xi currently has over 1200 units of dark energy cubes. He first upgraded his essential ability [Disguise] to C-level, consuming 240 units of dark energy cubes.

[Superpower: Disguise]

Description: You can change your appearance in 0.01 seconds. The portable dressing slot can hold clothes (2/5). It can slightly change your body shape, appearance and voice. You can also set a specific personality and provide acting assistance.

Rating: C-level, acting skills are the soul of the performance.

Subsequently, the [Clone] was also upgraded to C-rank, consuming 260 units of dark energy cubes.

[Special Ability: Doppelganger]

Description: Creates a clone with 1/8 the strength of the original, which lasts for half an hour.

Rating: C. If you're bold enough, you can try some things that result in a 404 error.

Both of these abilities are essential for Yang Xi's role in the Judgment Organization, and they generally won't be downgraded to F-level unless there are special circumstances.

Along with the abilities of rebirth and puppet control, it enjoys the same level of treatment as other special abilities.

"Now comes the main event."

Yang Xi's previous plans have reached a critical moment, and he has accumulated enough A-level superpowers. It's time to upgrade his metal control to S-level and see the effect.

By breaking down Shadow Escape to F-level and Super Brain to C-level, and with the addition of 260 units of dark energy, Yang Xi obtained his first S-level superpower!

[Special Ability: Metal Manipulation]

Description: Can manipulate metal within a 10,000-meter radius around his body, with a maximum controllable weight of 100,000 tons.

Rating: S-rank. Go demolish the bridge!

The range of control and the weight of the controls have both increased a hundredfold!

If 100,000 tons of metal were to fall on your head, even a dragon would probably have a hard time withstanding it.

It's worth noting that the Lukang Bridge weighs only slightly over 9000 tons, and Yang Xi could easily rotate it 180 degrees. (The controllable weight includes other substances adhering to the metal.)

Yang Xi can now be considered a true S-class powerhouse; before, he was at most a Super A-class.

With his S-level metal control, Yang Xi was full of confidence for the battles to come and looked forward to fighting against the forces behind the man in the top hat.

Once the truth about the blue pill is uncovered, Yang Xi will show them just how terrifying the twelve zodiac seat bosses of the Judgment Organization really are!

076 I have intelligence about the Rooster.

Of the remaining 400-plus units of dark energy, Yang Xi used 260 units to upgrade the Snow Maiden back to C-rank.

The summoning magic circle flickered for a moment, and Xiaoxue, dressed in a cherry blossom outfit, rushed into Yang Xi's arms.

"Master, you haven't played with Xiaoxue in a long time."

Holding the icy-cold Xiaoxue in his arms, Yang Xi wondered if he should activate the Fierce Fire, only to find that it had been broken down into F-level [Ignition] and [Fire Control]. For a moment, Yang Xi was actually frozen by the little girl.

I quickly fused the two F-level abilities and upgraded them to E-level using dark energy cubes. The familiar [Fire] ability returned. Although the damage was low due to the low level, it was good at keeping me warm.
