Chapter 1057: Chapter 1059: Spiritual Energy Resurgence

Wen Wen found a nearby hotel to stay at. The Slit-Mouthed School Beauty was tied spread-eagle on the table, a white bedsheet draped over her body, and she looked on the brink of death.

Earlier, Wen Wen had conducted a comprehensive and meticulous study of her and basically figured out the reason she ended up like this.

Normally, when a superpower user awakens, their psyche undergoes immense stimulation.

People differ from one another; some have pushed a truck single-handedly in sheer rage or performed a slide tackle to cut open a tiger’s belly.

The state of a superpower user awakening is akin to this “extreme anger.”

Though not to the extent of killing a tiger with a slide tackle, the spirit is in an extremely resilient state.

In this situation, a superpower user can easily resist the erosion of a newly entered powerful soul remnant, suppressing it deep within their consciousness until the formal conclusion before advancing to Assimilation.

However, when the Slit-Mouthed School Beauty awakened to her Supernatural Power, she was in a very relaxed state, even asleep.

Unlike some perverts with exceptional talent, she was immediately eroded at the moment of fusion with a strong soul remnant.

This state is even worse than being possessed during Assimilation because at least in the latter case, she would still exhibit the traits of an intelligent being rather than just a monster driven only by slaughter.

He uploaded his findings to the Ranger Terminal, receiving an enthusiastic response from the Demon Hunters.

All over the Federation, at least dozens of Demon Hunters have encountered manic superpower users.

Moreover, Wen Wen had learned about some other changes.

For instance, in the Capital District, there seems to be a rising trend of ‘Hua Technique,’ which is essentially the ancient martial arts of the Capital District.

Initially, for various reasons, these ancient martial arts had lost their proper prowess. Some so-called masters were merely using the name of ‘Hua Technique’ to scam others, often being knocked down in three punches once in the ring.

Due to the presence of the Xun Family, swordsmanship still has a number of superpower users studying it, while ‘Hua Technique’ receives little attention from them.

Your twenty years of effort to break a wooden stake—why spend twenty years on that when a superpower user can shoot through a hundred stakes with a single laser?

However, the situation appears to have changed significantly now.

A master of Great Extreme Fist, always boasting about his ‘Receiving, Transforming, and Releasing’ on the internet, was KO’d by an amateur fighter in a single punch.

Last night, this master, caught in the act, suddenly found the fighter again, and in front of dozens of spectators, his set of moves sent the fighter flying tens of meters away.

There’s also an old deceiver… a master who created Lei’s Extreme Fist, who, during a practice session, unleashed streaks of lightning.

Apart from Hua Technique, changes are occurring elsewhere as well.

A young man practicing parkour jumps freely between tall buildings, sometimes leaping over ten meters.

A woman into wingsuit flying actually took off from the ground…

These people are not traditional superpower users, yet they have all, coincidentally, attained strength far beyond ordinary people.

It can be said that the world order painstakingly maintained by the Hunter Association has been entirely broken.

Some are calling this change the ‘Spiritual Energy Resurgence’!

Dozens of Secret Organizations have jumped out high-profile, recruiting new superpower users and expanding their influence.

The SRS Foundation also joined this task wave, bringing in a lot of useful talent.

Of course, as the organization that practically holds the world’s hegemony, the Hunter Association actually benefits the most.

However, while possessing the strength to suppress all the Secret Organizations, the Hunter Association finds it not so easy to seal off information.

In the current situation, unless the Hunter Association focuses solely on brainwashing, they cannot prevent the public from obtaining information.

According to the Association’s reports, residents in certain areas have already started panicking, with fear breeding new monsters, gradually sending the situation into decline.

Faced with this scenario, the Hunter Association is also actively seeking solutions.

They have begun semi-publicly recruiting members across the Federation.

Hospitals, universities, the military, police departments, and even private detectives are being enlisted by the Hunter Association.

Everything changed within a day or two, and even Wen Wen felt a bit uneasy, not to mention other superpower users.

Additionally, there is one move from the Hunter Association that warranted Wen Wen’s attention.

They have now begun implementing the ‘New Human Project’ in a county. If the project succeeds here, it will be promoted throughout the Federation.

With the situation having expanded, it is challenging to stop the public from acquiring corresponding information merely through memory erasure. Monsters born of fear and confusion will gradually increase, and their power will grow stronger.

If the Hunter Association does not adopt the New Human Project, eventually, terrifying monsters born of collective fear across the Federation will emerge.

Even if such a monster can be eliminated, it will still cause catastrophic damage.

Wen Wen stood at the window, the clear sky seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.

“Now, it really looks like the world is about to change…”

Suddenly, Wen Wen’s eyes narrowed as he saw wisps of gray-black smoke gathering in one direction, potentially condensing into a monster.

Such monsters born from human emotions are generally difficult to handle, so Wen Wen jumped out of the window, intending to nip the crisis in the bud.

…

In Baidiya City, a man wearing a white robe covering his face walked down the street.

Baidiya, being close to the desert, is very windy and sandy, so such attire is common, yet pedestrians instinctively avoided this man.

Nowadays, ordinary people’s intuition is much stronger than before, with some even developing it to the extent of ‘Inspiration,’ hence their instinctive fear of this man.

Most notably, there seemed to be something off with his head, as if his skull was irregular.

“I’ve fled this far; that monster shouldn’t be chasing me, right?” the man muttered in a hoarse voice as he turned into an alley.

He lifted his headscarf, revealing a bloody scalp, where even the skull was cracked, and half of the brain was missing.

This person was none other than Egger, the Corrupt Blood of Profane Blood!

His head had been shattered by the Black Night Knight, yet aside from looking battered, he did not seem too weakened.

His flesh began to wriggle, filling the void in his brain, but as soon as it formed a human shape, it exploded violently again.

“Seems I need to clear the monster’s scent first before fully recovering… Damn it, we’re both Catastrophe Level, why is that guy so powerful.”

“But I have just advanced. Once I develop, I may not be weaker than that guy.”

“Hehehe, I really love the current energy density. All these ordinary people have become sensitive, making them more susceptible to my influence.”

“With my current strength, I could cover the entire city…”

Egger shook his head: “This place is that crazy woman’s territory, I’d better be cautious.”

“Hmm, there’s a sweet scent in that direction; there’s probably a ‘Fear Beast’ about to coalesce, just right for a snack.”
