CHAPTER 48: 48. FACE THE GALE

In the sky.

The shadow that Major Tang and others saw was naturally Yang Fan.

He used the Light Spirit Superpower, rushing all the way from outside the county town, suddenly appeared again, and then made another traversal.

Not only were the soldiers startled.

Even the mutated creatures were taken aback.

At this moment.

Yang Fan clearly saw the appearance of the mutated creature from over two hundred meters away.

This thing looked very similar to a bird, considerably larger than a crow.

Its entire body was covered in feathers of a black iron hue, looking extremely peculiar.

Yang Fan was greatly astonished: "Isn’t this the ’Gale Swan’ from the Primordial World? How did it enter Canglan Star?"

In past dream realms.

He had roamed the vast and boundless Primordial World, encountering the Gale Swan countless times, so he recognized it at a glance.

Yang Fan suddenly had an epiphany: "The power of the Primordial World seeped into Canglan Star, likely bringing in this Gale Swan when the curiosity Shuttle Boat was spawned."

All in all.

This is an unfortunate fellow.

On the other side.

The Gale Swan keenly sensed the shadow ahead seemed extremely dangerous and instinctively wanted to avoid it.

When dealing with the drones earlier, its speed was an advantage.

But now it became a disadvantage.

The Gale Swan had no time to change its direction, and just crashed straight ahead.

Yang Fan casually extended a finger, aimed at the Gale Swan, and a wisp of red light burst out instantly.

"Pop!"

A small sound.

The Gale Swan burst into a mass of red light.

It traced a parabolic trajectory downward and plummeted straight below.

*

At the Liren Base.

The scene of the Gale Swan falling from the sky was imprinted in the eyes of all the soldiers.

Major Tang witnessed the moment of the red light and blurted out: "The powerhouse who killed the mutated macaque!"

It was well known.

The red glow was the signature attack of that powerhouse.

He never expected that the legendary powerhouse would suddenly appear at this moment.

Major Tang watched the small black dot fall, face full of shock: "Did the mutated creature die?"

The captain next to him was equally shocked: "It should be dead! Even if it’s not dead, it’s heavily injured."

Others also felt an indescribable shock in their hearts.

The mutated creature, which the drones couldn’t handle, was effortlessly killed by a suddenly appearing Superpower User.

A second later.

The blurry figure on the screen disappeared and reappeared next to the fallen mutated creature.

The powerhouse seemed to make a move, and the mutated creature vanished without a trace.

Then, like a falling leaf, he slowly drifted toward the ground.

Major Tang regained his composure and quickly ordered: "Enlarge the image of the powerhouse!"

He felt the powerhouse was a bit blurry, so he wanted to see more clearly.

"Yes!"

The camera immediately zoomed in.

The figure of the powerhouse instantly occupied half of the screen.

A quick glance and Major Tang gasped sharply.

The opponent’s form was indeed in a phantom state, with ripples flowing all around it.

"Oh my god!"

"Is this still a human?"

"Why does it feel like a ghost?"

The soldiers all had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

At this time.

The figure suddenly moved, waving at the drone.

An unbelievable phenomenon occurred.

The figure’s shape became erratic, appearing here one moment and there the next.

This extremely bizarre scene caused the soldiers to swallow hard.

Many felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.

A ghost!

This was definitely a ghost!

The captain asked in a low voice: "Major, the powerhouse seems to want to say something. How should we respond?"

Major Tang came back to his senses and quickly said: "Contact Shangjing immediately. We’ve encountered the powerhouse, request instructions from Shangjing."

"Yes!"

*

On the other side.

Yang Fan indeed planned to communicate with Liren since what happened in Jingyun County was not a trivial matter.

He glanced at the drone, shifting his gaze to the Gale Swan’s body in his left hand.

Although this thing rendered the drones utterly helpless, it was instantly killed facing a strong attack from curiosity.

Earlier he used the Spirit Concealment Superpower to cloak the body, so the soldiers couldn’t see it.

A moment later.

The mark of the Soul Stealing Wisp slightly cooled.

Several lines of phantom text appeared.

[Superpower]

Spirit Concealment: Activated, Low grade Hybrid Superpower, current evolution level 1%.

Light Spirit: Activated, Low grade Physical Superpower, current evolution level 6%.

Gale: Not activated, Low grade Physical Superpower, activation requires consuming 1 point of Spiritual Source Value.

Vajra: Not activated, Middle grade Physical Superpower, activation requires consuming 20 points of Spiritual Source Value.

[Energy]

Spiritual Source Value: 18.4

The list had a newly added inactive superpower — Gale.

Yang Fan was not surprised at all: "As expected, a speed-type superpower."

He had another guess: "The Light Spirit Superpower is also a speed-type superpower, the two should be able to merge, right?"

He decisively tried it.

As expected.

The Soul Stealing Wisp provided feedback: "The Gale Superpower and Light Spirit Superpower can be merged, merging requires consuming 15 points of Spiritual Source Value, Spiritual Source Value is currently sufficient, proceed with merging?"

The Spiritual Source Value consumed was 3 points more than the previous merge.

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment and canceled the merging: "Forget it, let’s save up 20 points of Spiritual Source Value to activate Vajra first."

As for the Spiritual Source Value.

It had increased by 2.2 points compared to before.

Yang Fan sighed: "The Spiritual Source Value of any creature from the Primordial World is stronger than most mutated creatures in Canglan Star."

Soon.

Two drones leisurely flew over.

Yang Fan looked up, ready to formally engage in conversation.

*

Shangjing City.

Jiuzhou Corps Headquarters.

Due to the information reported by Major Tang, involving the strongest in Great Xia, it immediately received a rapid response from headquarters.

A group of senior officers directly took remote control of the drones.

The "Ghost" image appearing on the screen caused the officers to change their colors.

"Why do I feel like the powerhouse doesn’t seem alive."

"I feel the same, it’s genuinely eerie."

"We have supernatural power now; resurrection might not be impossible."

Commander Wu frowned, shouted: "Quiet!"

Everyone immediately shut their mouths.

A few seconds later.

An officer handed over a headset, quietly reminding: "Commander, it’s ready."

Commander Wu put on the headset, adjusted the microphone slightly.

He took a deep breath and said aloud: "Esteemed Superpower User, I am Wu Dingtian, the highest commander of the Jiuzhou Legion. May I know how to address you?"

The ghostly figure rippled and emitted a strange voice: "Hello, Commander Wu, call me ’Ghost’."

This statement instantly caused a slight commotion in the hall.

Commander Wu’s expression became rather subtle, feeling a sense of unease in his heart.

Many officers wore expressions of "as expected, not alive" on their faces.

No normal person’s title would be "Ghost," right?
