It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"At least I won the bet."

Xu Shi was not afraid at all, but laughed even more happily, "And the result is good, for example..."

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers lightly and tried to activate the "United We Stand" power. "Come on, smile?"

Almost in an instant, the people present felt a warm current spreading through their bodies, and they actually smiled uncontrollably.

"...Ha, this ability is so overbearing."

Xia Wuyou raised the corner of his mouth and praised softly.

This was not the first time she had experienced this ability. Shen He had used it on her before in the Snake Ring headquarters building. At that time, she knew that this ability was essentially the same as Xu Shi's. Both of them affected other people's thinking by infecting their emotions. The only difference was whether the effect was positive or negative.

But this time she felt great. After all, Xu Shi was not forced. Secondly, he was the one she loved. All she could feel was warmth and a kind of mobilization-like excitement.

Xu Shi also felt good. His second superpower, which had been transplanted for so long, was finally activated. This alone was enough to make him happy.

And it must be said that the benefits of "United as One" are far more than that. Don't forget that this ability has another effect, which is that it can improve one's various qualities through the feedback from the number of believers.

The most intuitive thing is naturally the improvement in physical fitness. Xu Shi can clearly feel that his mind is clearer than before. As for strength, speed and endurance, they must have also improved. I will find someone to test it later...

He didn't have to worry about these blessings disappearing and being backfired - because he had several girls around him who had completed the closed loop, right? Xia Wuyou, Jiang Chengcheng, and Gu Yi and Lin Yue who were far away in Night Sin City... Including Su Lin, Tang Shuang, and Xia Ke'an, although these girls had not been planted with seeds, their feelings for him were just as good.

The basic foundation is here, which means that this blessing will always exist.

The girls actually noticed this too. After escaping from the body of Poseidon, he seemed to look even more handsome... Especially his body, which was already good to begin with, and now he had even more beautiful lines, a tiger back, a wasp waist, and mantis legs, which was a very masculine beauty.

Don't ask how they saw it. They couldn't examine his injuries through his clothes...

"Don't be so conceited, Dad."

The old lady blushed a little and pretended to be calm and teased, "What about your own abilities? Have you made any breakthroughs?"

She felt it deeply. Originally, Xu Shi had to rely on "Yujing" to reach the S-level, but now it is the same even without the weapon... and this S is deeper than that of ordinary people. It is obvious that both abilities have broken through to this level.

Everyone has felt the “United We Stand”, but what about the “increase in entropy of evil thoughts”?

"Well...of course there is."

After feeling it for a while, he understood it in his heart.

As expected, even after breaking through to S-level, "Evil Entropy Increase" still did not unlock the halo effect.

But it may not be necessary at this time, as the halo effect can be achieved with the help of "Yujing", and having a new effect will be even better.

And the name of this ability has already appeared in his mind.

"Liminal Space"

I saw someone say yesterday that Mr. Xu fought so hard, but the spoils were shared by others, so why didn't he take revenge? That person was still unconscious, so how could he take revenge? There must be time for counterattack...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 241 Oh my god, my fiancée turned into an octopus girl!

"Liminal Space"

If explained using the standard explanation, it is an uninhabited, eerie, disturbing, yet strangely familiar, transitional space.

This type of space mostly appears inside buildings, mixed with unnatural lighting. Classic examples are stairwells with flashing emergency lights, subway station corridors, waiting rooms, and supermarket aisles.

To put it in a broader and more abstract sense, many important stages in life, such as coming-of-age ceremonies and weddings, can also be considered a kind of "liminal space" in memory.

But the new ability that Xu Shi acquired is obviously not limited to this.

The real purpose of this ability is to forcibly bring the target it touches to a special spiritual dimension that is created by himself.

To make an analogy, it is Tienan's ultimate skill, Reincarnation, or in farming terms, it is Haiyue's ultimate skill, Phantom Sea Reflecting the Moon. Of course, it targets the spirit, not the body, as that is beyond his ability.

Oh, it turns out to be the Secret Room Play·God-like-intercourse version.

After figuring out the effect of the new ability, Xu Shi sighed.

Hin is good, hin is suitable for me.

"Why are your abilities always so weird..."

Xia Wuyou complained, but also showed a lot of interest, "But it sounds like it can train mental strength... Try it on me?"

I have to say that Xia Xiaomao has a sharp eye and immediately found one of the uses of this ability.

To be honest, just like its own positioning, the combat effectiveness of this ability is definitely not high. It can only be used for 1v1 mental combat, but what about the physical body?

Not to mention that there is still the rigid condition of "touching", and whether it is possible to remotely capture people with the help of "Yujing" remains to be tested.

But even so, there is still a lot of room for maneuver. After all, it is the spiritual dimension he has constructed, so he has the final say on how to play.

As for how long the target can be trapped inside, it depends on the opponent's mental strength level.

With his current level, an ordinary person who gets hit would probably be locked up to death, and then if he uses other abilities... I can't say what will happen.

In fact, he had a feeling that "Threshold Space" might not only be a by-product of the strengthening of "Entropy Increase of Evil Thoughts", but also a new ability developed together with "Unity". After all, it was a 1v1 in the spiritual realm, so it didn't seem to be a problem whether it was training or talking nonsense.

But if he faces someone like Xia Ke'an, whose mental power is stronger than his, it won't be able to impose much restrictions, and he might even be backfired.

And if the opponent's willpower is strong enough, he can indeed temper his mental strength in this way... I can only say that this is the essence of the villain's ability. If you are not careful, you will become a whetstone for others, especially the protagonist.

"forget it."

But after saying it, Xu Shi thought about it and shook his head.

It is true that this ability can be used as a training room, but it will inevitably cause mental damage to the person who is affected. Besides, he himself is not familiar with the new ability. If he must use it on his own people, he must at least pick a lucky audience to test it first.

Moreover.

"When did you become a training freak, huh?"

He smiled and looked at Xia Xiaomao. If it were her turn, she shouldn't just train her mental strength, but should use it as a little interest between husband and wife, unlocking a thousand and eight hundred postures or something...

"I don't want to either, but some people always make me worry."

Xia Wuyou rolled his eyes at him without hesitation. He was a bad man, so why did he always think about such nasty things? He should be a little more serious...

"I've told you to be careful next time."

Xu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Besides, my husband may not be very weak now, okay?"

As he spoke, he pretended to show off his muscles.

"Oh, then let's go out and fight?"

Xia Xiaomao didn't buy his tricks and made a face at him, "Let me take a good look at how fierce my husband is."

"You don't get strong by fighting."

Xu Shi was timid but stubborn, and quietly changed the subject, "Let's talk about this later...During the time I was unconscious, was there anything else going on?"

"I'll speak, I'll speak."

Probably because he had been holding it in for too long, Xia Ke'an jumped out and told him everything that had happened before.

"...That's it."

After listening to her tell the whole story, Xu Shi nodded slightly and sighed.

All he could say was that after he was swallowed by the Sea God, the actions of the other forces were basically the same as he had expected. The Holy See was weak, and the marginal OBs were reaping the benefits. Cheng Gujian was certainly not a chivalrous man, and his action of watching someone in danger without helping was something he had anticipated.

"I get angry when I talk about this. You don't even know how irritating he was at that time."

Xia Xiaomao was so angry that her teeth were itching. Don't forget that she was the one who accompanied Xu Shi to the secret meeting with Cheng Gujian. When nothing happened, they were just brothers, but when something went wrong, they just stood by and watched. Tsk.

"You don't really think he treats me as a brother?"

Xu Shi was more open-minded and pretended to cry and made a face.

He might have been even more outrageous than Cheng Gujian in terms of role-swapping. He already knew the outcome, so he wasn't that surprised.

But being open-minded does not mean not caring. Mr. Xu has always believed that he would rather let the world down than let it down. He would be sad if others treated him like this.

And what about the Vatican? They didn't do anything and yet they got the spoils? Are you worthy?

"So what are you going to do?"

The old lady asked impatiently, and it was obvious that no one intended to let them off.

"We have the head of Poseidon in our hands. This is a done deal, so there is no need to rush."

Xu Shi pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Let them fight each other first, I will see how to prepare a big gift for them."

You have to retaliate, but this also requires efficiency. It would be best to hit the opponent's vital point with one move. If he doesn't die, he will at least be half crippled... This requires careful planning.

Before figuring out the specific details, it would be better to rest well on Silver Pine Island first. After defeating the Sea God, Xia Ke'an did not choose to go directly back to the main city of the empire, but went to the closer Silver Pine Island.

Who made the bad dad unconscious? In this case, it is better to stay out of the way when you are in someone else's territory.

"well done."

Xu Shi agreed with this very much. He hugged her and kissed her. He said that if he was not around, she would be the backbone. The white-haired loli was still very reliable.

He was more interested in the crystal stone that Poseidon turned into after his death. He seemed to have noticed it briefly before shattering Poseidon's heart, but how could he have the mind to think about those things at that time?

"Chengcheng, have you studied this thing? Bring one to me."

He waved his hand and gave the order.

"We are already researching it, and we will probably have results in the next two days."

Jiang Chengcheng nodded, took out a crystal stone and handed it to him, "Also, the base station you asked me to build before is basically completed. I tested the signal yesterday, and it will be officially put into use soon."

"……Great."

Xu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this. He had just woken up and his mind was confused, so he had forgotten about this matter. "Wait until the communication is connected, and contact me as soon as possible. I miss them too."

"I don't think you miss me."

Jiang Chengcheng snorted, "And your 'Yujing', I'm also helping you fix it... I was planning to upgrade it anyway, so it's a good opportunity to do it together."

"Ma'am is awesome."

Xu Shi also pulled her over and kissed her. She was always reliable.

"what about me?"

Xia Wuyou may not be jealous of the little brat, but the same may not be true of Jiang Chengcheng. Seeing this, she was not willing to be outdone and came over to ask for a kiss.

The postures of moving left and right seemed to indicate that they were going to eat him up completely.

"Yeah, the second lady is great too."

Xu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was the bad thing about having too many girls. When they started to act like spoiled brats, it was hard to resist...

"Where are Qingyan and Shenqin? How are they?"

After kissing them both until they were dizzy, he changed his clothes and got out of bed while asking, "Also, where is my silly apprentice? Why doesn't she come to serve the master?"

"I just checked before I came here, and both of them are still asleep."

Xia Wuyou replied, "As for your disciple...she has spent a lot of time and effort on you. She also made this medicine. She said that drinking it can replenish your vitality."

"…She has a conscience."

Xu Shi paused, and his smile became even brighter. "Where is she?"

"Go back and rest, right? She took care of you last night, and even picked herbs for you before that... The little girl hasn't slept for several days, she can't bear it."

"Then let her have a good rest first, I will go to Brother Pan later."

Xu Shi nodded and stretched his body, "I'm going to go see Qing Yan first... Do you want to come with me?"

"Go on your own."

The three people's answers were surprisingly consistent, and it was obvious that none of them had this idea.

Xu Shi didn't force it. He changed his clothes and went out by himself.

Xie Qingyan's residence is just next door, just around the corner.

When I pushed the door open, it was deserted inside. Only Ye Shanshan was lying on the head of the bed taking a nap.

Hearing his movement, the little curly-haired boy subconsciously raised his head, "Hey, Mr. Xu..."

"Shhh."

Xu Shi made a gesture to keep quiet, "How is Qingyan? Is he okay?"
