BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122 - SS Potential (2)
Chapter 122: SS Potential (2)
In Zhou Jing’s eyes, Xu Lingyun’s movements seemed uncontrolled. His strength was fleeting, and his speed seemed to be slow.
He had seen the experienced hunters of the Mutant World. Now, dealing with a newbie like Xu Lingyun, who had yet to completely master his body, was like crossing the road in the wee hours of the morning. There was no pressure at all.
“Scram!”
Zhou Jing reached out and grabbed Xu Lingyun’s ankle. Then, he stretched out his leg and tripped Xu Lingyun to the ground with ease.
Xu Lingyun got up and continued to charge forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two figures kept crossing hands with each other. Zhou Jing almost never left his original position and only changed his steps in a small area. Meanwhile, Xu Lingyun kept repeating the cycle of charging, falling, getting up and continuing to charge. He fell on the floor more than ten times.
One looked like an unconvinced hothead, while the other looked like a calm combat instructor.
“Wait!”
Xu Lingyun was placed in a sorry state from the falls. He got up again and no longer rushed up, his face filled with bewilderment.
“Didn’t you just awaken? Why are you so proficient in controlling your strength?”
He could accept that he could not defeat Zhou Jing, but it was a little difficult for him to understand how he could play with him like an adult could toy with a child.
He didn’t use his physical fitness to suppress him. Most of the time, it was a KO using skills and techniques. Zhou Jing’s strength was controlled just right. He even knew how to control his body better than a genetic warrior who had obtained superhuman strength a few days earlier.
If he remembered correctly, Zhou Jing had never fought before. How could he be so experienced?
“Talent, I guess. You’re full of flaws.” Zhou Jing didn’t explain and casually spread his hands. “How is it? Do you still want to fight?”
“No more fighting, no more…”
Xu Lingyun was dejected.
He had originally thought that it would be a passionate collision of fists, where both of them could experience what it was like to have extraordinary physical strength. He did not expect it to be a one-sided beating. At this rate, he was better off looking for torture.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyin, who was watching from the side, said excitedly, “Jingjing, you’re really good at fighting! I didn’t know that before!”
“Maybe I watch more Supers League battles and like to shadow box at home. As time passes, I somehow mastered some superficial skills.” Zhou Jing smiled.
“He’s indeed quite powerful.” Zhao He echoed.
Initially, he did not care much about the low-level battle between two Physical Enhancement Ability Users, but he did not expect Zhou Jing to perform so skillfully, like a seasoned warrior… At least, to him, he was quite experienced.
Zhao He paid a little more attention to Zhou Jing. He adjusted his attitude and showed some friendliness.
However, it was impossible for him to be too enthusiastic. He felt that there was no need for him, an Esper with A potential, to curry favor with a pure physical Enhancer with C potential.
Zhao He then looked over at Li Xiaoyin. He suggested, “I’m quite curious about your ability. Why don’t we spar?”
“Sure.”
Li Zhiyin agreed readily without thinking too much.
The two of them arrived at the center of the arena. Seeing this, Zhou Jing and Xu Lingyun retreated to the side to make space.
Zhao He was eager to give it a try. When he suggested a spar, it was because he was a little unconvinced. He wanted to see how the so-called SS potential was stronger than him.
He circled his hands, and a circle of light blue water sprayed out from his palms, spinning in midair along with the trajectory of his arms.
Swish swish….
After turning around and around, the water flow became larger and larger. Gradually, it turned into a water vortex that surrounded his body. As it flowed at high speed, it made a hissing sound.
Li Xiaoyin, however, did not move. She stood where she was.
“Be careful, the destructive power of my high-pressure waves is astonishing!”
Zhao He shouted softly and raised his hand to push.
Boom!
The water suddenly poured down and sprayed along his arm, turning into a thick high-pressure water pillar much like a Qi wave!
Under the high-intensity pressure, the water pillar shot out at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the distance and was about to hit its target.
Li Xiaoyin blinked and raised her hand, punching out once.
Boom!!!
It was like thunder!
With her fist as the center, a pale white cone-shaped shock wave suddenly erupted, instantly destroying the high-pressure water pillar and turning it into water droplets that filled the air!
The shockwave did not stop and brushed past the stunned Zhao He.
Peng!
A deafening explosion sounded behind him!
The entire room shook!
Zhao He turned around stiffly.
Behind him, a circular pit filled with cracks had appeared on the high-intensity wall made of special materials.
In the deepest area in the middle of the circular pit, light could be seen… that came from the next room.
“Gulp…”
Zhao He’s throat moved, and a drop of cold sweat rolled down his temple.
He had tested the walls here by using his own high-pressure water cannon to attack the wall, but it had not left any traces…
If he had been hit by the shock wave just now, he would have been reduced to dust!
“Oh, I didn’t control it well. Fortunately, I missed.” Li Xiaoyin was embarrassed and said apologetically, “Why don’t we spar again? This time, I’ll use less strength. Let me feel your destructive power.”
“No, no need.”
Zhao He revealed a stiff smile and tried his best to stop his legs from trembling.
For a moment, he could not tell if Li Xiaoyin did it unintentionally or if she was deliberately trying to intimidate him…
What kind of spar is this? It’s just murder!
Damn it, he was too rash!
He had just become a Super, and his life had yet to begin. He did not want to die here!
At the edge of the room, Xu Lingyun patted Zhou Jing’s shoulder.
“Brother, do you understand why I wanted to spar with you and not Sister Yin? It’s too f*cking scary. The moment she loses control, you’re a goner!”
“…Indeed.”
Zhou Jing’s mouth twitched in surprise.
He knew that Li Xiaoyin’s superpower was very strong, but he only knew how powerful it was today.
The destructive power contained in such a petite girl was too abnormal.
He suspected that even if he strengthened his blood four or five times, he would not be able to withstand the shock wave of Li Xiaoyin’s punch.
All roads lead to Rome, but some people were directly born in Rome.
People really could not be compared. The talent that others awakened was enough to suppress a large number of Supers who had trained hard for many years…
— SS potential. This buddy of his was really something!
Zhao He suffered a blow. He forced himself to chat for a while and exchanged contact details. Then, he returned to his room to comfort his frightened heart… and change his pants.
Just now, he had accidentally activated his “superpower” in the wrong location.
The three of them continued to converse in the combat room for a while before calling it a day.
Li Xiaoyin and Xu Lingyun simply used their identification documents to stay in the living area. They lived in the rooms around Zhou Jing’s room and planned to accompany him for the next two days.
...
In the next three days, Zhou Jing spent time in the Supers Bureau and signed several contracts.
Registered Supers were under a lot of restrictions. They had to promise not to use their abilities on ordinary people in their lives, not to use their abilities to commit illegal acts, and to test the growth of their abilities in the Supers Bureau every few years in the future.
There were also many benefits. There were various policies to support them in many aspects, and they would receive corresponding subsidies when they reached different Super Ranks.
Currently, those who had just registered but did not take the test were considered reserve Supers and were given different subsidies according to their potential assessment.
His C potential evaluation gave him an allowance of 6,200 Nassau per month. He did not need to do anything to get this money.
This was enough to meet his daily expenses. It was already comparable to the salary of some ordinary jobs. It was considered a good income level, and he was very satisfied.
Zhou Jing remembered these terms in his heart and decided to be a law-abiding citizen.
Three days passed in a flash. The registration procedures were finally completed, and everything went smoothly.
“Congratulations, you’ll be a registered Super in the future.”
Feng Feng smiled and handed the brand new Super ID to Zhou Jing.
The silver words on the black background were rather exquisite.
Zhou Jing took it and played with the ID for a while before putting it away.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me. It’s all part of my job.”
“Then now that I’ve registered, I’ll also have an assistant slot, right?” Zhou Jing asked.
“Yes, that’s right. You can recommend candidates to us at any time.”
Feng Feng confirmed this.
Zhou Jing nodded and prepared to call Zhang Xiao later.
He thought for a moment and asked, “I’m still a reserve Super, so what I have to do next is to wait for the test?”
Feng Feng shook his head and explained.
“It’s not that fast. You have to complete the most important segment before you can take the test… or even more than that. Even if you have any employment plans or future plans, you have to wait until this segment is completed before you can implement them.”
“What segment is that?”
Zhou Jing was curious.
Hearing this, Feng Feng smiled.
“That is, schooling!”
