Chapter 78: Help Me, Xiu!
The saying goes, "The more a person lacks something, the more they care about it." That was why Fang Xiu suddenly understood Zhao Hao's mindset.
If just "side-effect" physical strength was this formidable, then it only meant Zhao Hao's sexual power was even more capable. Maybe his bragging about his stamina and hardness was true.
As for Zhao Hao's saying, 'It's time,' that was easy to grasp. His ability activated between 11 PM and 1 AM, precisely the time he lay in bed fantasizing.
Now, Fang Xiu wondered if the adult films on Zhao Hao's phone were really all he had. _'Can watching private tutoring, plumbers, and convenience store theft themed movies awaken such powers?'_
He really suspected Zhao Hao had other films hidden away, like 'Superman vs. Catwoman' or 'Batman Interrogating Harley Quinn.'
Liu Shuai, standing nearby, was dumbstruck by Zhao Hao's display of power.
He watched as Zhao Hao easily lifted a Specter Slave over his head and tore it in two. His eyes were wide with disbelief.
"Zhao Hao is so powerful!" Liu Shuai murmured, dazed.
"Did you see the whole process of Zhao Hao transforming?" Fang Xiu suddenly asked.
Liu Shuai swallowed hard and nodded, "Just now, he was weak and scared in my arms. But as soon as it hit 11 PM, a white light flashed over him, and he seemed to become a different person, full of confidence."
Fang Xiu cut him off, "I only want to know one thing. Zhao Hao's transformation making him taller and more handsome is explainable by his powers. But can anyone explain his slicked-back hair? Does this power magically produce hair gel?"
"Uh, actually, that's not hair gel. That's saliva. I saw Zhao Hao spit in his hand and then slick his hair back with it after transforming."
Fang Xiu rolled his eyes, speechless.
Nearby, Zhao Hao, still fighting, seemed to hear something. He nearly stumbled and fell, but quickly pretended as if nothing had happened and continued fighting.
In his frenzy, he didn't notice the accumulating hair strands at his feet. These strands began to move like tadpoles, swarming towards Zhao Hao, aiming for his eyes, nostrils, mouth, ears, and every other opening in his body.
Trapped in the web of hair, Zhao Hao couldn't dodge the swarm of hair fragments rushing at him, and he panicked.
"Xiu, help me!"
Suddenly, a flash of silver light descended from the sky, slicing through the hair net with lightning speed.
It was Fang Xiu.
Miraculously, the hair cut by Fang Xiu didn't regenerate. This was because he had used the power of pain.
Zhao Hao quickly crawled out of the hair net, frantically brushing off the hair fragments. Once he was clear, he stood up, once again arrogantly smirking.
"You've pushed me to this extent. You should be proud. But this ends now!" Zhao Hao yelled, bending his legs slightly and then propelling himself forward with great force, leaving deep footprints in the ground. He shot towards the silver-haired woman like a cannonball.
The silver-haired woman, seemingly infuriated by his contemptuous attitude, snorted coldly and flicked her head, sending her silver hair towards Zhao Hao like a fierce waterfall.
BOOM!
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao was sent flying back even faster than before, crashing through the forest, plowing through numerous trees, and leaving a long trail before finally coming to a stop in a heap of trees, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Clearly, this was the true power of the silver-haired woman, far surpassing the Specter Slaves that Zhao Hao had easily defeated.
After dealing with Zhao Hao, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the silver-haired woman's eyes. But before she could savor her victory for long, suddenly, an unexpected turn of events occurred."
