LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 23
The wild boar’s belly exploded, and it fell to the ground twitching, its eyes gradually losing their lustre.
Eventually, the wild boar’s figure slowly faded until it disappeared.
Zhang Wenqian felt extremely distressed. “My pig, my wild boar! Hu Jianye, look at the good things you have done!”
“Mom, I didn’t mean it!” Hu Jianye felt extremely aggrieved. “If I don’t throw it out, it will blow up my face. Mom, are you willing to disfigure your son?”
Zhang Wenqian said angrily, “What you lost was only your appearance, but what my pig lost was its life!”
Hearing this, Liu Jin’an couldn’t help laughing and quickly stopped the two from continuing their argument.
“Aunt Zhang, try to summon the little pig again.”
‘Can we see the wild boar again?’
Zhang Wenqian didn’t care about scolding her son. She clasped her hands together and prayed for the wild boar to come back soon.
Not long after, a wild boar that looked the same as before appeared in front of everyone.
It seemed a little confused about the situation and shook its round head.
The moment it saw Hu Jianye, its body flinched, and it hid behind Aunt Zhang, its two front hooves pulling tightly at her thigh.
‘Good guy, even pigs know how to hug people thighs!’
Seeing the wild boar trying to continue drilling upward, Hu Jianye proudly bared his teeth and showed the dragon-patterned pig-killing knife. “You’ve never been able to take advantage of someone, right? I’ll treat you as dinner!”
“Puff puff puff!”
The little wild boar screamed in terror. The butcher’s knife was too intimidating, and it fell on its back before it had time to stand.
Belly up, feet in the air, foaming at the mouth, it became unconscious.
Liu Jin’an: “… ”
He felt a little sympathy for the little piggy.
“Put the knife away, don’t scare Zhang Bao!” Zhang Wenqian glared at Hu Deyi.
Then she squatted down and hugged the wild boar for a long time before it woke up.
Hu Jianye and Hu Deyi exchanged a look, realizing they might be falling out of favour.
In just a few minutes, the mother/wife had even named the wild boar, and their family status had dropped by one.
“Aunt Zhang,” Liu Jin’an asked, “can you try to summon another one?”
Zhang Wenqian responded, tried for a moment, and shook her head regretfully. “It won’t work.”
It seemed that Aunt Zhang’s summoning power could only summon a wild boar for now. As for how the power would change after levelling up, that depended on personal opportunities.
Turning around and seeing the relieved expressions of the Hu family’s father and son, Liu Jin’an secretly laughed inwardly. They were relieved too soon.
If Aunt Zhang’s power level increased and the number of summoned wild boars grew, their family status might be in jeopardy.
He was different.
He was always second.
Suddenly, he felt something change in the Book of Superpowers.
As his consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness, Liu Jin’an discovered that a new page had appeared in the Book of Superpowers.
[Power column: Unstable light group level one; Summoning level one.]
[Note: The Book of Superpowers can obtain the corresponding superpowers by learning other people’s superpowers. Each level of the Book of Superpowers can obtain 3 superpowers, which can be replaced, but the superpowers obtained are weakened versions of the original superpowers.]
Was there such a good thing?
Liu Jin’an didn’t expect that the Book of Superpowers was so powerful and could actually learn other people’s superpowers.
In other words, others only had one power, but he could get three powers at one level, and six powers at two levels!
Even if the secretly learned superpowers were weakened versions, with the advantage of quantity, they were enough to deal with most situations.
[Superpowers: After animals and plants come into contact with the gallium element, their bodies will undergo changes and acquire superpowers.]
[Superpowers are mainly divided into four categories.]
[The first category is the elemental category. The elements that exist in nature include: wood, water, fire, earth, wind, frost, ice, thunder, light, darkness, etc. The characteristic of this kind of superpower is to convert heterogeneous energy into elemental power for fighting.]
[The second category is physical enhancement, including strength enhancement, vision enhancement, hearing enhancement, induction enhancement, speed enhancement, brain enhancement, animal transformation, plant transformation, etc. The characteristic of this kind of superpower is to use heterogeneous energy to strengthen one’s body.]
[The third category is control, such as controlling metal, controlling airflow, hypnosis, summoning, flying, carrying space, etc.]
[The fourth category us the special category, which typically includ treatment, group strengthening, self-healing, energy explosion, enlargement, reduction, invisibility, and so on.]
The Book of Superpowers belonged to the fourth category of superpowers.
Liu Jin’an relayed these details to everyone.
As for his own powers, he only mentioned that he could learn the powers of others and did not reveal the other abilities of the Book of Superpowers.
Even so, everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a monster.
“An’an, try my powers!”
Hu Jianye made no secret of his bad taste and wanted Liu Jin’an to experience the feeling of having uncontrollable powers.
Rolling his eyes angrily, Liu Jin’an turned his fingertips, and little bits of light gathered in his hands.
In comparison, Liu Jin’an’s light ball was only the size of a table tennis ball, less than one-third the size of Hu Jianye’s.
But it was extremely docile, jumping up and down as he moved, with no sign of explosion.
Jealousy distorted Hu Jianye’s face, and he was unconvinced: “Why is it so obedient in your hands?”
“Maybe I’m more handsome?” Liu Jin’an stretched out his index finger, and the small ball of light followed his finger, climbing to his fingertips.
Angry, Hu Jianye could only comfort himself. He was older, and as a man, the bigger the better.
To prove this, he once again condensed the unstable light group, but he obviously forgot that he could not control it yet.
“An’an, help!” He cried sadly, “It’s going to explode again!”
Just as Liu Jin’an was about to take action, he suddenly noticed that the small ball of light on his fingertips danced more happily, as if it was somehow connected to the large ball of light in Hu Jianye’s hand.
Subconsciously, he flicked his finger, and the small ball of light moved in the direction he pointed, disappearing into the ruins in an instant, causing a small explosion.
Everyone saw that the large ball of light in Hu Jianye’s hand seemed to be pulled by some kind of force and then crashed into the same position in the ruins.
In an instant, the sand and stones flew, the light dazzled, and the scattered light spots shone like stars in the universe.
A large hole was opened in the ruins, and a rich elemental residue attached to it. The power was more than ten times that of the small light group!
It was even much stronger than the power Hu Jianye had released alone just moments ago.
“Oh my God!” Hu Jianye’s eyes widened. “An’an, have we awakened the martial soul fusion skill?”
Looking at the dilapidated ruins, Liu Jin’an was also shocked. “You are simply a human cannon.”
After recovering from the shock, Zhang Wenqian was full of hope. “An’an, why don’t we give it a try and see if we can spark something?”
Liu Jin’an regretted, “My summoning power can only be used once a day, and it can last up to an hour at a time.”
He had to keep it as a backup and couldn’t waste it casually.
After testing their own abilities, everyone was ready to get in the car.
Zhang Wenqian was reluctant to cancel her wild boar and gave up the passenger seat to Hu Deyi, who was relatively stout. She squeezed the wild boar and her son into the back seat.
“Oh my God, Mom, could you please let this pig retract its hooves and stop stepping on me?”
“Its name is Zhang Bao, you can’t let your brother go, how old is he, let him do it.”
“Mom, do you not love me anymore?”
“It’s good that you know.”
Amid the laughter of everyone, the off-road vehicle arrived at its destination.
Everyone stopped making jokes and followed Liu Jin’an out of the car.
Screech—
The harsh friction sound broke into everyone’s eardrums, and Liu Jin’an frowned as he listened.
The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a dying man laying on the ground.
“Officer Zheng?”
