Possession ability...

Li Chen was also stunned; he hadn't expected that King's Power could transfer other people's abilities into his own body.

He could even feel a slight fluctuation still existing in his body, the ability to control his blood, which had not completely disappeared. The Forbidden Substance seemed to be replenishing the ability he had just regained.

He could feel that his hands were now able to control the blood scattered on the field.

A terrifying ability... This ability is even more terrifying than Vector Manipulation...

As long as he lives, he can use this power to continuously acquire the abilities of others.

He now has the ability to copy and paste, much like a computer.

"So that's what it meant when that consciousness made me extend into other people's bodies."

However, Li Chen knew that this ability could not be revealed, as it was far too terrifying.

Let those Evil Cults, or those with ill intentions, know that he will definitely not have a good life.

This isn't just abnormal, it's a bug, a vulnerability.

Coming to his senses, Li Chen retracted "Ink" back into his body.

To others, this might not seem surprising; Mo's appearance was simply something he created using his abilities. Only Yu Qingnian knew that he possessed two abilities.

But now he already has three.

After seeing that Shi Nie had fallen, the crowd on the field lost all will to fight.

Mu Hen faced the three men alone, and the three men immediately retreated and surrendered.

After all, the leader has already lost; if they continue, they will only humiliate themselves.

Quiet...

Utter silence fell over the entire Battle Institute.

The battle ended in such an unexpected way.

Many people are quite optimistic about Shi Nie, after all, his sudden burst of power in that state just now gave them hope of defeating Li Chen.

But most people just watched coldly; the outcome was already decided. Li Chen's team was too strong. You should know that Su Xian, Ji Shao, and Ji Mumu hadn't really made a move; they were just watching from the sidelines.

Throughout the entire match, they only needed to use a few people to completely subdue Shi Nie's team.

In the audience seats.

Qi Hong's expression was uncertain, his eyes occasionally glancing at the figure that had changed so drastically. He was initially somewhat unsure, but when Ji Mumu unintentionally unleashed a wisp of golden flame, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

He actually joined...

Moreover, the changes were so drastic that he hardly recognized Ji Mumu anymore.

"That's it... let's just be strangers..."

Everyone has their own path to walk; I'm just a childhood friend.

"There aren't that many matters concerning overseas Chinese."

Qi Hong murmured to himself, feeling a deep sadness. Perhaps what he was suffering now was not just physical harm, but even more so, emotional harm.

He then got up to leave.

The battle is over, and he has achieved the result he wanted.

On the battlefield.

After glancing hesitantly at the unconscious Shi Nie a few times, the referee reluctantly announced, "Li Chen's team wins this match."

The prize money will be paid by the other party tonight.

Li Chen floated down from the sky, but seemed to be thinking about something.

Mu Hen, on the other hand, was overjoyed.

"Thirty million, holy crap... thirty million!!"

"This is the first time I've ever made so much money! This is way better than tomb raiding!!"

Su Zhe looked at him with disdain and said, "You're already like this with only 30 million? Mu Hen don't you call me 'Dad' and I'll transfer you 1 million?"

Mu Hen looked surprised and asked, "Really?"

Su Zhe: "..."

The others burst out laughing at the two clowns.

Jianping was looking for his box. He regretted showing off; once the box was lost, he wasn't as convenient as Li Chen and could only search around the area.

Li Chen's thoughts were also disturbed by the voices of the group. Looking at the warm scene, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Why think so much? When trouble comes, we'll deal with it. The secrets within me will be revealed one day. Thinking about so many questions now won't get us any answers, so I might as well just enjoy life as it is.

Yu Qingnian and Faluo had already quietly left the stands.

"Not bad, right? My students?"

"It's not bad, it's just that Su Zhe is a bit of a jerk."

"Why?"

There's no reason why!

Night.

A rare moment of rest.

"Su Pangzi, bring me the pepper powder." Mu Hen, dressed casually, looked at the barbecue grill with a very serious expression.

Su Zhe immediately came running over, all excited.

Here, the pepper you requested.

"I snatched these from A Jin, you have to grill me a few more skewers."

Just as Su Zhe was speaking, A Jin's angry cursing came from the other side.

"That little bastard took my pepper powder!"

"And barbecue dipping sauce!"

Mu Hen twitched his lips; he really was something, but his hands moved even faster.

Not far from them.

Several campfires were burning brightly.

Several chickens were roasting by the campfire, looking very tempting.

Li Chen sat in the center, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, his eyes filled with helplessness.

He doesn't really like gathering together.

I prefer to look at the moon alone.

However, Su Xian wouldn't let him leave, saying he wanted to discuss the Academy Tournament competition. As the captain personally appointed by Yu Qingnian for this Academy Tournament, he couldn't very well escape.

He could only sit in the center and watch everyone talk to each other.

"Sigh... I wish this would end soon..."

Li Chen thought to himself silently.

At this Ji Mumu spoke up, "Chen-ge, with such strength, why don't you go and take Su Xian's number one throne?"

As soon as she asked her question, the only sound in the entire scene was the still-burning campfire.

Li Chen pursed his lips and said, "I don't like being the center of attention."

"And Su Xian is no weak either."

Su Xian unconsciously scratched his head. He still vaguely remembered the scene when he was somewhat unconvinced during the Canglan Tournament.

But after becoming Li Chen's teammate, he realized just how much strength Li Chen was hiding, and even he wasn't sure if he could win.

After all, if he were to deal with that Shi Nie, it definitely wouldn't be so easy.

This already demonstrates just how terrifying Li Chen's strength truly is.

Moreover, he hasn't even entered the Withered Sea Realm yet.

At this moment Ji Shao spoke again, "Li Chen, why did you come to Canglan?"

It's a real shame that Li Chen, with his S-rank abilities, isn't going to the Imperial Capital.

They all had other commitments and couldn't go, but with Li Chen's strength and talent, he could definitely go.

Li Chen recalled his conversation with Yu Qingnian back then.

Doesn't it matter which college you go to?

It's just a matter of different choices and different environments.

Looking back now, it seems like a long time has passed, but it's only been a few months.

"All I've ever wanted is to live a peaceful life in this world."

But only Li Chen knew that he was now powerless to resist becoming stronger, to explore the secrets within himself, so that he wouldn't die on this journey to find the answers.
