Knock, knock, knock.
In the dead of night.
Lin Lang had just defeated the once-invincible Ning Shuangyu.
He was just about to get some rest.
But suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Gu Fei said outside:
"Are you guys done? Su Ran and I haven’t slept yet!"
Lin Lang felt a bit embarrassed at her words.
He could only blame himself for being a bit too aggressive today.
Leaving Ning Shuangyu exclaiming all night long.
The noise might have been a bit too loud, affecting their rest.
He was preparing to show some gentlemanly demeanor and sleep in the study, leaving the big bed in the bedroom to the three girls.
But Gu Fei said again:
"You guys sleep here, I’ll take Su Ran downstairs!"
Gu Fei’s house was just downstairs.
And in all aspects, her house was much better than Lin Lang’s.
That was indeed a good choice.
Lin Lang released his Telekinesis, checking the situation of the floors above and below.
There were just a few harmless bugs hiding in the elevator shaft.
Nothing else was really dangerous.
Gu Fei added:
"Don’t worry, I’ve already used my Spiritual Ability to check the surroundings, there’s no danger!"
After days of practice.
Gu Fei’s Spiritual Ability also kept improving, and her Telekinesis could cover a distance of about five meters.
Just enough to cover the route between 2202 and 2100.
Lin Lang felt reassured and said:
"Then you guys go ahead."
Lü Su Ran’s voice chimed in:
"Lin Lang! See you tomorrow then!"
Soon after.
The sound of the door opening and closing was heard.
Lin Lang continuously used Telekinesis to monitor them, while also using his Spirit Wood Ability to control the large tree outside the window, putting it into a state of alert.
Just in case any special danger happened, he could support them immediately.
Not until they entered the door of 2102.
Did Lin Lang finally relax completely.
Turning his head, he saw Ning Shuangyu, drenched in sweat and half-asleep, still muttering dreamily:
"Lin Lang! You’re mine! If you dare leave me, I’ll catch you and torture you severely..."
"Who’s torturing who isn’t certain yet!"
Lin Lang’s competitive spirit was aroused.
After consuming the Middle-grade Physical Fruit, she was extraordinarily strong, physically.
But Lin Lang’s body, enhanced four times, would not lose!
Before long.
Ning Shuangyu’s voice reverberated throughout the entire room again.
The next morning.
Lin Lang exited the bedroom.
Feeling completely refreshed, with no sign of fatigue at all.
He had prepared the breakfast for the women in advance and left it on the dining table.
Then went to the study.
"Now I don’t need any Superpower Fruit to absorb energy and strengthen myself!"
"But the efficiency of absorbing energy using this method is extremely low!"
"Meditation and cultivation methods can speed up the energy absorption of the Superpower Fruit; I wonder if it still applies to Red Mist?"
He sat cross-legged on the computer chair.
With each breath.
At first, there were no special changes.
But gradually.
He noticed that with one or two breaths now and then, a slight reaction occurred both inside and outside his body.
It was as if a magnet passed by, slightly influencing the iron objects along the way.
He pursued this sensation.
Constantly experimenting.
Again and again.
Finally!
A miraculous attraction appeared on his body!
The Red Mist permeating the world was rushing in eagerly from the window, entering his mouth and nose!
With each breath Lin Lang took!
It felt as if he was consuming a Middle-grade Superpower Fruit!
The Superpower Core inside him was like a ravenous beast, feasting on the ceaseless flow of mist!
The brightness and size of that Superpower Core were also growing crazily!
With each inhale.
With each exhale.
The wind softly whispering in his ears.
If someone were high in the air, looking down right now.
They would see.
The mist that once cloaked the entire Xingfu District was no longer as tranquil, no longer as serene.
Instead, it was gradually forming into a vortex at a certain central point!
The massive fog was pouring relentlessly towards the vortex’s center!
In an instant!
The district was engulfed in a violent storm!
The large tree that had grown to Lin Lang’s window was shaking all its branches and leaves with all its might!
There came a whooshing sound.
People thought a storm was coming and hurriedly shut their doors and windows.
Outside, three women were discussing:
"It’s going to rain heavily!"
Finally.
Lin Lang opened his eyes.
The gale outside instantly subsided.
Everything returned to tranquility.
The superpower core within Lin Lang had transformed into a golden pearl!
It was like the so-called "Golden Core" in those fantasy novels!
But Lin Lang knew, this was certainly not the case.
At least, he didn’t yet possess the skills to ascend to the skies or delve into the earth!
He brought up his combat power information and took a glance:
[Lin Lang]
[Combat Power: S+]
[Physical Body: Fourfold Enhancement]
[Superpower: Inspiration (Level 9); Spirit Wood (Level 5)]
Given that he had not consumed a Golden Elemental Fruit.
Just by absorbing the power of the Red Mist, he had raised his Spirit Wood Ability from Level 3 to Level 5.
Lin Lang knew how difficult it was to upgrade this Spirit Wood Ability.
He had once consumed hundreds of Middle-grade Elemental Fruits in one go and hadn’t managed to raise the Ability by a single level.
Yet now he had suddenly gained two levels!
This proved how much mist he had absorbed while meditating just now!
However.
The origin of this Red Mist was unknown, yet it permeated the entire world.
To the naked eye.
There was still not the slightest sign of depletion.
Lin Lang wondered if he could use his powers to completely absorb the Red Mist.
Now it seemed unlikely.
"Huh? Is it almost dark?"
Lin Lang was startled to realize that it was already dark outside.
While he was meditating,
he had entered an incredibly focused state, losing track of time entirely!
He thought he had only been meditating for half an hour at most.
In reality,
he had been sitting from morning until evening?!
He hadn’t eaten all day.
Yet, he felt no hunger at all in his stomach!
In fact, he felt better than ever!
As if every function of his body had reached its peak!
"Nourishing the physical body!"
"Is this the function of the Red Mist?"
"No wonder those Fierce Beasts grow so fast outside!"
Lin Lang mused.
Then.
He unleashed his Telekinesis, searching the building for the members of the "Building Patrol Team."
After all, he had personally invested in them as promising talents.
He was still very concerned about them.
They had finished their work for the day and were resting in a room on the third floor.
Lin Lang focused a little and listened in, finding they were talking about sending WeChat messages!
So he took out his phone to check.
Only to find that they had just posted some pictures in the group, all photos of insects they had killed.
Accompanied by a message:
[The greater the Ability, the greater the responsibility! As Superpower Users, it’s our duty to help everyone! We killed quite a few insects today, and once we’ve wiped out all the insects in the building, everyone can go out with peace of mind!]
"It sounds like a work report."
Lin Lang chuckled.
Young people were sure enthusiastic!
The other people in the group also praised them.
But more so, they expressed envy towards the Superpower Users.
And, they mocked Lin Bulang:
[As expected of someone who awakened a Superpower, truly impressive @Light of Righteousness]
[Now those insects in the hallway stand no chance against you! So strong!]
[You’re so handsome, I want to have your babies! @Light of Righteousness]
[Both are Superpower Users, just look at Light of Righteousness and then Lin Bulang! One helps the people, while the other stands apart!]
[There’s no hurt without comparison!]
These people had a habit of putting someone down while lifting another up, and it wasn’t a new behavior.
Lin Lang didn’t mind it at all.
The fact that a Superpower Fruit he casually gave away could unleash such powerful effects in their hands still made Lin Lang quite gratified.
Meanwhile.
In a room of unit 1, building C of Xingfu District.
Lived a married couple.
Their supplies were limited, and they just shared a pack of instant noodles, barely replenishing some energy, preparing to go to bed to reduce energy consumption.
"The food at home is getting less and less, what should we do?"
The husband was worried, so he went out to the balcony.
He usually smoked there, although he had no cigarettes now, he still habitually stood there to think.
Suddenly!
The husband let out a cry of surprise:
"Honey! Come quickly! There’s a purple little fruit growing here, could it be the Superpower Fruit we read about online?!"
