Chapter 380: Chapter 379: Testing the Supernatural Ability

“This is Shao’s Tower?” Peng Lianghai didn’t expect the sports car would stop in front of Shao’s Tower.

Shao’s corporation is the largest taxpayer in Sea City, allegedly the chairman, Old Shao, has amazing wealth and wields power in both political and underworld circles.

“Our department is the Super Power User Management Bureau, this is Sea City branch; the branch leader is my father, or as you guys would call, Old Shao. Let’s step out of the car.”

Peng Lianghai’s mouth dropped wide open.

Shao Junyi seemed indifferent, not finding her identity to be anything remarkable.

Shao Junyi led the three of them onto an elevator at the base of the tower, which took a long time to descend to the bottom.

“People only know that Shao’s Tower is the tallest building in Sea City, but they don’t know that the basement of Shao’s Tower is the deepest building. After my father became the branch leader, he transformed the basement into the Sea City branch office.” Shao Junyi said, sounding somewhat proud.

Bai Hongtu nodded, “I suppose a lot of taxes have been avoided, haven’t they?”

Jiang Li kicked Bai Hongtu, questioning his tactlessness.

Jiang Li tried to smooth things over, “He means that such a big project must have been reported to the government.”

Feeling a bit suffocated, Shao Junyi decided to keep quiet.

She performed an identity verification, and then handed each of them a temporary access card.

“None of you have officially joined the Super Power User Management Bureau yet, nor are you proper members. Some areas are classified and off-limits. Make sure to follow me and not wander around.”

Peng Lianghai nodded obediently, while Bai Hongtu and Jiang Li pretended to do so.

The four of them came to a room bathed in soft light, where two super-powered individuals were seated.

“We need to verify your powers first. These two individuals’ powers are truth detection, so if you lie, you’ll have to deal with the consequences of lying, which may include possibly being barred from joining our department.”

“Name?”

“Peng Lianghai.”

“Gender.”

“Male.”

“What’s your superpower?”

“Body enhancing.”

“Hmm, an enhancer.” The two super-powered individuals didn’t sense any lie from Peng Lianghai and annotated ‘Enhancer’ in the super power column.

“Name?”

“Bai Hongtu.”

“Gender?”

“You decide.”

The two super-powered individuals really felt tempted to spitefully write ‘female’ under Bai Hongtu’s gender, but considering their professionalism, they could only grit their teeth and write ‘male’.

Jiang Li interjected, “You could always write ‘gender unknown’.”

The two super-powered individuals were momentarily enlightened, just as they were about to put pen to paper, Bai Hongtu quickly claimed that he was a male.

“Superpower?”

“Cultivation.”

The two super-powered individuals felt like there must have been a problem with their abilities; their powers showed that Bai Hongtu was not lying.

They jested to themselves that anyone would think cultivation could be a superpower?

“Can you specifically describe the characteristics of your ability?”

“Cultivation involves several stages, namely Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Merging, Transcendance Tribulation Stage… I am currently in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.”

“During the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, one can regenerate from a single drop of blood, release the Primordial Spirit without fear of Yin Qi, intuitively sense fortunes and calamities, turn disaster into fortune and even use the stars as chess pieces.”

The two super-powered individuals concluded that Bai Hongtu was definitely suffering from a psychological disorder.

Their power of validating genuineness didn’t verify objective truth, but only verified the speaker’s subjective perception of their truth. If the speaker believed what they said was true, then it was supposedly true.

“Superpower unknown (suspected psychological disorder)”

“Name.”

“Jiang Li.”

“Gender, nevermind, what’s your superpower?”

“Invincibility.”

The two super-powered individuals began to deeply doubt the accuracy of their own powers.

Their own superpowers indicated that Jiang Li was telling the truth.

They marked Jiang Li’s power column as ‘Superpower unknown’.

After these two left, the two super-powered individuals tested their powers by shouting at each other: “You are a pig.”

Simultaneously, they both clutched their temples in pain.

“How come our powers worked perfectly fine until we applied them on those two?”

During the walk, Shao Junyi kept looking back at Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu as if they were some kind of freaks.

The four of them arrived at a spacious room filled with all sorts of strange apparatuses.

“This is the superpower testing area, where we can test the strength of your superpowers.”

“Do superpowers have a level tier?” Peng Hailiang asked curiously.

“Yes, there are a total of five levels. Level one is the weakest while level five is the strongest. I myself am a level two illusion type super-powered individual.”

“Let’s test your superpower first.” Shao Junyi decided to test the simplest one, Peng Hailiang, first.

“This is a 300-kilo barbell, try it.”

Peng Hailiang lifted it with ease with only one hand.

“Now try the 500-kilo one.” Shao Junyi added four more weights.

Peng Hailiang still managed to lift it with relative ease.

The current Peng Hailiang was several times stronger than when he first discovered his superpower.

600 kilos, 700 kilos, 800 kilos…

Finally, Peng Hailiang managed to lift the fully loaded barbell, but clearly struggled.

“This is the strength of a Level Two Enhancer. You managed to become one without anyone guiding you?!”

Shao Junyi was utterly astonished. This guy was a genius! According to her observation, Peng Hailiang was a Level One Enhancer a little over ten days ago.

No, Shao Junyi suddenly realized that Peng Hailiang exhibited Level Two Enhancer’s abilities when he appeared that night to capture the cultist.

Then Peng Hailiang continued to test his speed, reaction time, explosive power etc., all of which were up to Level Two Enhancer’s standards.

“Your cultivation ability… can you regenerate from a drop of blood?”

“Of course, but it’s hard to demonstrate since no one can beat me down to just a drop of blood.”

Jiang Li volunteered enthusiastically, “I’ll do it.”

Before Bai Hongtu could even let out a scream, Jiang Li had already punched him, leaving only a few drops of blood and some bits of flesh.

The few drops of blood and flesh bits merged to quickly regenerate a body; Bai Hongtu was reborn.

“Hey, hey, could you at least warn me beforehand?.”

“Didn’t you say you can sense fortunes and calamities?”

“Even the Yin Yang Heavenly Seal Ancestor can’t detect your cause and effect, how can I sense the fortune and calamity you bring?”

Shao Junyi was flabbergasted. She felt like she was stuck in an illusion.

Even Level Five healers cannot do this!

“It’s hard to demonstrate the ability to control the stars like chess pieces, unless you have a planet that you dislike, I can help you crush it.” Bai Hongtu was exceptionally generous.

Jiang Li praised, “Quite generous, like a farmer offering guests to pick their own veggies.”

Bai Hongtu glared at Jiang Li angrily, frustrated that he couldn’t think of a better analogy.

“I also know some spells, or rather, some fire-type and thunder-type stuff.”

Bai Hongtu extended his hand. His fingertips converged an terrifying energy. The thumb released a force that seemed to wipe out an entire army, the index finger burned with small cluster of intense white flame that distorted its surrounding space, middle finger pointed with frost gathering, the ring finger wreathed in raging thunder, and the little finger was folded, held close to the palm.

Jiang Li curiously asked, “Why no spell on your little finger?”

“Can you fold the little finger while keeping the ring finger straight?”

Bai Hongtu looked smug, it was actually quite a hard gesture to make.

Shao Junyi swallowed hard, her instincts told her that the four powers released from Bai Hongtu’s hand could easily cause Armageddon!

What on earth is a Cultivation Superpower?
