CHAPTER 39: 39. MIDDLE GRADE SUPERPOWER - VAJRA

This moment.

The tip of the rebar was only a finger’s distance from the mutated macaque’s pupil.

It was within reach.

At the same time.

A shadow emerged, gripping the rebar with both hands and thrusting it forward with force.

It was Yang Fan.

He used the Spirit Concealment Power to silently approach the Big Macaque, which hadn’t noticed at all.

"Poof!"

The rebar effortlessly pierced through the mutated macaque’s eyeball, straight into its brain.

The Big Macaque hesitated a few times, then fell backward to the ground with a "bang."

It was dead.

Yang Fan exhaled, a weight lifted from his heart: "Fortunately, I prepared a backup plan just in case."

His first time in a head-on battle, against a highly powerful mutated creature, how could he not be nervous?

As for the "backup plan," it was naturally this sharpened rebar.

The source of this rebar was a scrap recycling station.

Yang Fan smiled smugly: "What about Middle grade Superpower? I have the Thunder Branch and Spirit Concealment Superpower, easily taking it down!"

His heart stirred, releasing the Soul Stealing Wisp.

A phantom dashed through, crashing into the macaque’s corpse.

A full twenty seconds passed.

The Soul Stealing Wisp finally returned.

Yang Fan looked at the attributes list, his eyes filled with tremendous joy.

[Superpower]

Spirit Concealment: Activated, Low grade Mixed Superpower, current Evolution Level is 1%.

Light Spirit: Activated, Low grade Physical Superpower, current Evolution Level is 6%.

Vajra: Not activated, Middle grade Physical Superpower, requires consuming 20 Spiritual Source Value to activate.

[Energy]

Spiritual Source Value: 16.8

There’s a new superpower added to the list—Vajra!

Indeed it’s a Middle grade Superpower!

Yang Fan glanced at his Spiritual Source Value, smiling ear-to-ear: "Actually absorbed 15.6 Spiritual Source Value, truly worthy of a monkey awakened to Middle grade Superpower."

He felt a slight regret: "Middle grade Superpower needs 20 points to activate, pity it’s a few points short."

Yang Fan took a few steps forward, waved his hand over the macaque’s corpse.

The mutated macaque disappeared in an instant, leaving only a black stain about ten meters wide.

This was the aftermath of the electric arc attack.

Yang Fan turned and left, his figure quickly becoming blurred and then vanished.

A very shallow row of footprints appeared on the snow, extending towards an open area.

"Coo! Coo!"

The cry of birds rang out.

The footprints stopped extending.

Yang Fan knew very well, the commotion from this battle was too big, the officials would definitely arrive soon.

He didn’t want to expose his identity, so he decisively left.

*

Subsequent to this time.

A series of events unfolded.

First.

Three drones arrived late, prowling around the area for a while before finally locating the battle site.

Then.

A group of Liren Special Team members rushed over hurriedly.

This was the reinforcements called in by the patrolling officers.

The soldiers conducted an inspection of the battlefield.

Looking at the dozen or so knocked over trees, the scene was larger than a major car accident, everyone was shocked.

The thickest tree, had a diameter thicker than an adult’s thigh, and was over 25 meters tall.

Even if a car crashed into it, it’d be hard to knock the tree down.

The captain leading the team looked horrified: "A mutated macaque can overturn an armored car and knock down so many trees, could it be Middle grade Superpower?"

The vice-captain swallowed: "It just might be."

The captain’s eye twitched: "We might be walking into a trap if we pursue, should we deploy a few armed helicopters?"

The vice-captain strongly agreed: "It’s necessary."

Just then.

A soldier shouted: "Captain, there’s a large black stain here, with quite a bit of blood inside."

The captain glanced over and immediately ordered: "Extract samples, send them back for testing!"

A drone quickly ascended, carrying the samples to the distance.

The soldiers carefully combed through the site, the more they checked, the more perplexed they became.

The captain stared at the black spot, his face grim, "It seems that terrible macaque should be dead; otherwise, we would find its footprints leaving."

The vice-captain asked a sharp question, "And the body?"

The two exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

This matter was truly bizarre, shrouded in mystery from beginning to end.

The captain thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "Report it!"

The vice-captain acknowledged with a grunt.

And then.

The news sprouted wings and flew to the distant Shangjing City.

It was still before dawn.

The first commander of the Jiuzhou Legion, Commander Wu, was woken up from his bed.

A colonel holding a thick stack of files quickly spoke, "Commander, a mutated macaque suspected of awakening a middle-grade superpower has appeared in Anling City, Hedong Province."

Commander Wu was startled, the remnants of sleep vanished without a trace.

He quickly flipped through the files, looking at the scene like a large-scale car accident, and gasped, "If I were to fight the mutated macaque alone, I might not win."

The colonel was unsurprised, merely asked, "Do you think the possibility of a middle-grade superpower is high?"

Commander Wu thought for a while, then nodded, "The possibility is very high."

He immediately gave his reasoning, "After a month of intensive training, the mutated macaque has been awakened for at most two or three days, yet its combat power is slightly stronger than mine. This is a fundamental difference."

The colonel delivered another piece of news, "Traces of the mutated macaque’s blood were found on the scene. After repeated confirmation, the mutated macaque appears to have been killed."

Commander Wu was shocked, "Who did it?"

The colonel shook his head, "We don’t know the identity of the other party."

He changed the subject, "According to the investigation, this person took only a few minutes to kill the mutated macaque without suffering any injuries."

Commander Wu was amazed, "Since when did Great Xia have such a strong individual?"

The colonel did not answer, nor did he know how to.

Commander Wu chuckled, "Heavens bless Great Xia! These tough times, heaven sent a remarkable superpower user to Great Xia."

The general, overwhelmed by enormous pressure, suddenly felt hopeful upon encountering such a powerful ally.

Commander Wu ordered, "Get Hedong Province moving, and invite this remarkable figure back as soon as possible."

The colonel’s face turned into a bitter gourd, "We also want to invite them, but after going through the site, the investigation team found that this remarkable person seems to have vanished into thin air."

Commander Wu was a bit perplexed, "Vanished?"

The colonel nodded vigorously, "We couldn’t even find a hair, no one knows how this remarkable person appeared at the scene or left the battlefield."

Commander Wu insisted, "You must find more experts and bring in some superpower users adept at tracking, you must unearth this remarkable person."

The colonel reluctantly responded, "Understood."

Finally.

The news of this battle was brought into the underground secret base by General Lou.

The Mermaid, staring at the image of the mutated macaque, looked a bit strange.

General Lou asked, "Miss Jana, is there anything amiss?"

The Mermaid shook her head, "Nothing amiss, your judgment is correct, this is indeed a middle-grade superpower, and the combat strength seems quite impressive."

She continued, "However, normally, a middle-grade superpower should not appear so quickly. After each civilization world descends, it usually takes three years for a middle-grade superpower to be born."

Canglan Star has only descended for one year, which obviously isn’t normal.

General Lou didn’t seem to mind, "Perhaps it’s a rare occurrence."

The Mermaid was silent, feeling an inexplicable unease in her heart.

She recalled the words of the Holy High Priest, suddenly having a feeling that a great upheaval might occur in the Primordial World.

General Lou asked again, "Miss Jana, what do you think of the mysterious person who killed the mutated macaque?"

The Mermaid nodded slightly reservedly, "Not bad!"

General Lou laughed happily.

Having dealt with the Mermaid for so long, this was the first time he heard a compliment about the Canglan People from her mouth.

*

Ten minutes later.

General Lou, like rushing to another scene, began to preside over another important meeting.

Most of the meeting’s attendees bore General Stars on their shoulders.

There were very few officers of the colonel level.

A video from the Tintera Poisonous Mosquito Investigation Team was played in public.

"This really is a ridiculous thing... ha... ha... it seems I can’t control it anymore...

"I’m very sorry, everyone, I think I must bid farewell to you all."

Thus.

The recording ended.

The entire venue was silent for a while.

General Lou sternly broke the silence, "Everyone, Captain Ling’s life taught us that Great Xia greatly underestimated the poisonous mosquitoes."

Everyone nodded in unison.

From the current situation, when a large number of poisonous mosquitoes gather in swarms, they possess the ability to control prey.

This indeed is worrying.

General Lou also said, "I hereby announce, from this moment onwards, all military personnel leave is canceled, and the military officially enters level 1 combat status."

"Yes!"
