It was almost an instinctive reaction!
When she saw the purse snatcher about to run past her, Gwen's inner power was instantly mobilized!
Her body shot out like a compressed spring!
The speed is unbelievable!
To the purse snatcher's astonishment, Gwen's figure appeared before him like a ghost, blocking his path.
"Put the bag down!" Gwen's voice was clear, yet carried an undeniable force.
The purse snatcher paused for a moment, then grinned maliciously: "Hey little girl, get out of my way! Want to die?"
As he spoke, he pulled a gleaming folding knife from his pocket and lunged at Gwen!
"Ah!" Exclamations arose from the surrounding area.
However, in Gwen's heightened senses, the stabbing knife moved as slowly as a snail.
She could even clearly see the cold glint of light reflecting off the blade, and the ferocious expression on the purse snatcher's face.
The body reacts faster than the brain!
Gwen slightly shifted her body to the side, easily dodging the thrusting knife. At the same time, her right hand shot out with lightning speed, precisely grabbing the purse snatcher's wrist.
"Crack!" A crisp sound of bone breaking rang out!
The purse snatcher let out a shrill scream, the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and his entire arm was twisted at an eerie angle.
Gwen herself was startled!
She never expected that her instinctive grab would have such great force!
But at this moment, there was no time to worry about that.
The purse snatcher was wailing in pain, his other hand still clutching the handbag tightly.
Gwen frowned slightly, raised her canvas-shoe-clad foot, and seemingly casually kicked the purse snatcher in the knee.
"Pfft!"
The purse snatcher's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, the purse slipping from his grasp.
The whole process was lightning fast and incredibly efficient!
The passersby were stunned!
What just happened?
This seemingly delicate blonde girl actually... actually subdued an armed robber in no time?! And her strength and speed... were simply inhuman!
The woman who was robbed stared blankly at Gwen, momentarily forgetting to pick up her bag.
Gwen picked up the handbag from the ground and handed it back to the woman, saying somewhat apologetically, "Are you... are you alright?"
"Ah...no, it's nothing! Thank you! Thank you so much, young lady!" The woman finally realized what had happened and was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd erupted in gasps and murmurs.
"My God! She's amazing!"
"I didn't even see how she did it!"
Is she Superman?
Listening to the surrounding chatter and seeing the purse snatcher groaning in pain on the ground, Gwen's heart pounded.
Not because of fear, but because of... excitement!
An unprecedented sense of exhilaration—the power to control and punish evil and promote good!
So this is what it feels like to have power!
She instinctively turned around and looked in the direction of her apartment.
All of this was given to her by that man.
She suddenly felt that perhaps... she could use this power to do more?
Just then, sirens were heard in the distance.
Gwen felt a chill run down her spine. Not wanting to cause trouble, she nodded to the woman and the people around her, then quickly turned around and disappeared into the crowd in a few flashes, leaving behind a chorus of gasps and speculations.
And on the rooftop of a building not far away.
Lin Tian stood suspended in mid-air, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
Everything that had just happened was fully observed by his spiritual sense.
"Not bad, they've already begun to understand how to use their power," he murmured to himself. "It seems my 'investment' is starting to pay off."
His gaze pierced through the obstacles and landed on the swiftly departing, agile and energetic figure. ③
This seed is taking root and sprouting at an astonishing speed. 7
And he only needs to stay behind the scenes, quietly nurturing the plants, and waiting for the harvest.
Chapter 6 Clues and Ability Awakening 7
After subduing a robber on the street, Gwen's desire and curiosity about her own power reached their peak.
She was no longer content with merely improving her physical abilities; she began to more deliberately explore those "abnormal" capabilities. ⑨
For example, that peculiar sticky feeling. 1
That night, after her father fell asleep, Gwen sneaked into the living room, took a deep breath, and pressed her palm against the smooth wall.
Concentrate your mind and imagine...absorbing! ⑨
A wonderful feeling came over me again!
Her hands seemed to have turned into suction cups, sticking firmly to the wall!
She tried to move her body slowly, pressing her other hand against the wall, then her feet...
The next second, Gwen Stacy, in an extremely bizarre posture, like a gecko, stuck to the vertical wall with both hands and feet!
"It's a success!!" Gwen was overjoyed and almost cried out!
She really can crawl on the wall like a spider!
Although the movements are still clumsy and the control is not stable enough, and it occasionally loses its suction and falls down, this is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough!
Besides climbing walls, her senses also became increasingly acute.
Once, she was walking down the street, and although there was nothing unusual around her, she suddenly felt a slight stinging sensation on the back of her neck, as if some danger was approaching.
She instinctively darted to the side!
Almost at the same time, a flowerpot fell from a great height and smashed to pieces where she had just been standing!
If she had been half a second later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Gwen broke out in a cold sweat, rubbing the still slightly numb back of her neck.
That feeling... was like some kind of early warning system!
Spider-Sense?!
The word jumped into her mind uncontrollably.
Combining his ever-increasing strength, speed, and agility, along with his current wall-climbing ability and sense of danger...
Gwen was almost certain that she was evolving into... some kind of spider-like superhuman!
This is all so crazy!
And the source of all this, without a doubt, is Lin Tian.
She went to see Lin Tian even more frequently.
Sometimes, there's no need for excuses anymore. Just knock on his door late at night, and then, under his knowing gaze, throw yourself into his arms.
Every time we practiced dual cultivation, it was like a grand feast.
Lin Tian seemed to have also sensed the direction of her awakening abilities. During their conversation, he would intentionally or unintentionally guide the energy in the direction of strengthening her "spider characteristics".
Gwen could clearly feel that after each session, her wall-climbing ability became more consistent, and her sense of danger became clearer and more precise.
Afterwards, Gwen's voice carried a hint of languor and confusion: "Lin... who exactly are you? Why... why does being with me make me... so strange?"
Lin Tian gently stroked her back and smiled faintly: "I'm just a traveler who happened to be passing by. As for the changes in you, it's because you are special in yourself. I just... happened to open that door for you."
"Special?" Gwen was a little confused.
“Yes,” Lin Tian said, looking out at the night sky with deep eyes, “this world is far more wonderful than you imagine, and full of all sorts of possibilities. You, Gwen Stacy, are destined to be extraordinary.”
Gwen seemed to understand, but she could sense the seriousness in Lin Tian's words.
Is it extraordinary?
Looking at her hands, which had become increasingly fair, delicate, and powerful due to "dual cultivation," and feeling the power hidden within her that was enough to shock the world, Gwen felt a flame called "ambition" ignite in her heart for the first time.
Maybe... I really can do something... extraordinary?
For example, like the heroes in comics, protecting this city?
A vague idea quietly took root in her mind.
She began to consciously develop her abilities.
Practice wall climbing and jumping in deserted warehouse areas, and test your reaction speed and strength limits in secluded parks.
She even started trying to make some... gadgets.
For example, using the knowledge learned in chemistry class and some special recipes found online, they tried to concoct a viscous liquid similar to spider silk.
Despite repeated failures, she did not give up.
A brand new legend belonging to the "Ghost Spider" is quietly taking shape.
Lin Tian, like the most skilled chess player, quietly observed everything from behind the scenes, a mysterious smile always playing on his lips.
Gwen's growth not only pleased him, but more importantly, the pure Yin energy brought by each dual cultivation session accelerated his cultivation process of the "Yin Yang Harmony Scripture".
The Hehuan True Qi in his dantian was several times more abundant than when he first arrived, and there were even faint signs of him breaking through the first level.
“Not enough…” Lin Tian felt the true energy in his body. “Relying on Gwen alone is still too slow. Moreover, her energy attribute is too singular. If she wants to truly cultivate the Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture to a high level, she needs more… different types of ‘Daoist partners’.”
His spiritual awareness spread quietly like a tide, covering a large part of New York City.
He is "searching".
Seek out women who are equally "special," possessing great potential or unique energy.
Soon, several blurry "dots of light" caught his attention.
A place near Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, filled with oppressive darkness and tenacious vitality.
Deep within a mysterious military base, it exudes a dangerous yet alluring aura, like the deadliest scorpion.
There was another one... even more distant, seemingly not in the same dimension, yet emanating chaotic and powerful magical fluctuations.
A more amused smile appeared on Lin Tian's lips.
"It seems that this world is much more interesting than I imagined."
A new prey has come into his sights.

Chapter 7 Dual Cultivation as a Norm, Gwen's Changes
Time slipped by unnoticed, and Gwen's life had taken on a peculiar duality.
By day, she remains the same blonde girl shuttling between school, band, and family. However, no one knows that she now possesses extraordinary power and a secret.
At night, or whenever she had a chance to be alone, she would transform into a diligent "cultivator" and... a "regular visitor" to Lin Tian.
